AN Aston TO BECOMEA BRIDE.
The Berothal of n Young Woman Who Has
Received Bushel Of Proposals.

New York Morning J0urnalJ
Miss Carrie Aston, the youngest daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. William AstOr, is en-
gagged TO Mr.. Orme Wilson, the brother OF
Mrs. Ogden Goelet. The engagement has
just become known. The young woman
and her mother are on the sea, bound to
Paris after the bridal trousseau. The
wedding will take place in the fall, and
will be splendid affair. Many valuable
sets OF diamonds, rubies, sapphires, aud
pearls are to be reset for the bride, and
over her white satin dress she will wear a
lace veil OF rare value. Several Worth
and Pingat dresses will be in the trous-
seau, and fine laces and other apparel will
also be imported for the young bride.
Miss Astor is twenty years old, and made
her df6ut in society three seasons ago. She
Is the youngest daughter and heiress to
several millions OF dollars. She Is slightly
below the medium height and OF slender
form. Her complexion is white, her eyes
gray-blue, shaded by long lashes, and her
hair Is a pale.yellow, worn in a Greclan
knot. II Is needless to say that Miss Astor
has received offers by the bushel. Count
d'Harnoncourt, II Is said, was refused by
her, although his family Is nine hundred
years old.
MIR. Orme Wilson is a young man OF
twenty-five years, tall and handsome, and
Is one OF the favorites In society. He be-
longs TO several clubs, and is known as
leader Of the german.

Inc ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS hebrew Manu-
script.
The st. Petersburg correspondent Of the
Standard says that DR.. Harkavy has COM
menced the task OF collating the recently
discovered Hebrew manuscripts OF p0r-
tons OF the Old Testament with the re-
ceived text, and has already lighted upon
variations. Where the texts differ the
new reading is unquestionably superior TO
the old.
The parchments number fifty-one, and
close inspection shows that some are
much older than others. The characters
used in the most recent OF them originated
not later than the second century after
Christ; and this is confirmed by the fact
that some letters are almost identical with
those known TO have been used in Jerrsa-
lem in the first century before Christ.
Others, again, are unlike any known form,
while the Shd approaches the Alt-Indisch,
though the resemblance may be accidental.
The date OF the manuscripts cannot yet
be determined. As to the variations they
may be due, a. the professor remarks,
either to later corrections or to the
antiquity and purity OF the text; but in
any case they promise to be both interest
ing and valuable. Thus, in Lamentations,
ill.,, 3, Ice, meaning "lke." is left out be-
fore eSh, meaning " ilaming fire." In the
fourth verse OF the same chapter the omis-
sion OF the same word alters the meaning
OF the first sentence from Gle 1.-THE Lord
bent his bow like an enemy" to THE en-
envy hath bent his bow; while tine next

lied version, "IIe 1.-THE Lord stood with
his right hand as an adversary"
In the sixth verse, instead OF UGiy-
mass " despised," we have UdiWaSS
" crushed" or, as the same word is
translated in Judges, oppressed" The
passage IN Lamentations, H., 6. of the au-
thorized version reads. "The Lord .
hath despised in the indignation OF his an
ger the king and the priest; for which
the new-dscOyered manuscript would read,
"The Lord hath crushed" &c. The sew
enth verse reads in the authorized version.
" The Lord hath cast Off his altar. he hath
abhorred his sanctuary" In these manu-
scripts, nier, abhOrred," is replaced by

reads, "The most high God hath delivered
thine enemies into thine hands" Finally,
in Lamentations, w., IS, instead OF SSady,

Girls at Oxford-They May Study What They
Like.


! lWorld.l
! The information has been duly cabled
that the convocation of Oxford University
voted by large majority to open the
"hOnOr" examinations OF that institution
to women. Every master Of arts or holder
OF superior degree from oxford, who
pays certain sums OF money, has the right
to vote in academical concerns. "This,''
says the London NeuS, .means, as every
| body knows, that the country clergy gov
ern the universities" Why it means that
it is not easy for us in America to under
stand. At any rate, however. fears were
| expressed that this would defeat the mea-
sure, owing to the well-known conserva-
tism of the English country clergy.
But when it came to the test
these gentlemen largely gave their votes
III favor and passed 1t, thus showing them
selves i'll sympathy with the progressive
and humane spirit Of the age. 1t is greatly
to their credit. 1t must not be under
stood, however, that this opening to wo-
men OF the honor of Oxford examinations
in history, classics, mathematics, and science
means the comforting OF degrees on the fe-
male students. By no means. London Uni
versity so far is the only school of learning

That. Cambridge University and Oxford
| merely admit women to their examina-
tions, giving 9 certificate that they have
passed such test. Cambridge did this
some Time ago, and now the action OF the
late convocation places Oxford alongside
her ancient rival. 1t was i'm measure

drawing to itself strong and brilliant minds
among women. There are many strong

Conyocation. Mrs. Henry Fawcett published
letter in the London ke,cS, urging the
passage Of the decree opening the eyamino-
tons to women. The letter is nearly two
columns long. 1t gives such an array

Many businessmen are rushing to the new
diggings, ali anxious to be on the ground
first. The gulch where The first discovery
was made Is christened "Lone Tree" but
new discoveries are being made daily.
This Is new discovery OF old diggings, as
thousands OF dollars were taken out OF the
same ground in 1875, when parties went
down the Missouri by way OF Fort Benton
with their gold. In the summer OF the
following year they returned. out were
massacreed near Bear-Paw mountain by
Sioux Indians. Ever since prospectors
have yainIy endeavored to find the dig

The crown jewels were stored away in
the Garde Meuble, sort Of warehouse
where all the personal property of the State
not in actual use is kept, and three men,
bers OF the Commune were commissioned
TO take care of them. On the morning OF
September II, 1892, one of the commits.
sioners, man named Sergent, the brother
in-iaw OF Marceau, appeared before the
Commune and announced that during the
night robbers had broken into the Garde
Meuble and made a clean sweep OF all the
jewels. The Garde Meuble was in those
days In a building standing on the corner
OF the Rue st. Florentin and the Place
de la .Concorde, but this house Is now
used by the Ministry of the Marine. Here,
after the days Of Louis XIV, were stored
oil the precious arms presented to the
monarchs OF France by their brother mou-
archs, the splendid tapestries manufactured
6y the looms OF the Gobel.ns and Beauvias,
and the gorgeous plate and furniture used
on State occasions. When the premises
were examined 1t was found that the win
dows and locks showed no trace OF having
been forced, and suspicion naturally fell ON
those connected with the premises.

The EVIL of RaffiuE.

Betting is the curse OF American poll
tics. 1t influences elections, causes acri-
mony that would not other wise exist, is
no argument, and creates an incentive to
unfairness. Many of the States have laws
to discourage betting on elections, but
they are disregarded, and gambling thus
becomes a factor in our elections. All men
have the gambling passion in q greater or
less degree, but there are certainly
enough opportunities for people to risk
their money without sacrificing patriotism
to the gambling propensity. 1t is a mis-
taken idea that election gambling gives
the fsirest show to the better. PROBES
sional gamblers form syndicates and man.
age to manipulate the wires for their own
purposes, and sometimes the press, and,
in many instances, the innocent individual
who, in a moment of excitement, bets his
money in accordance with his convictions,
is merely the victim Of O bunko game,
with headquarters in the Hoffman House,
in New York.-San Francisco Exchange.
There is some truth in this, but it is
not all truth. As a rule men who are
heavily in the pools get in on their judg-
ment, as in stock speculation. or course,
it is a species of gambling, and it differs
very little from other sorts OF betting. But
admit it to be never 80 bad and vicious, ii
ia nevertheless Humankind what are you
going to do about it?
