why Women should Marry.

ilsurdl new ofktf.I
Marriage with worthy man is q wOman's
privilege, and her best and highest devcl-
opment, mental and physical, can be OBJ
tanned in this state. Men and women were
made for each other, and very old but
nevertheless true truism is that happy
marriage Il the very Garden of Eden. An
unhappy marriage is the reyelse, aud the
greatest OF all calamities that can be-
fall n pure, aifectionatc, aud noble wo-
man. Faith IN God and strong re-
solve to do every duty can alone
keep such a one from absolute despair.
Miss Braddon SAYS: "A good woman who
does not love her husband makes tie best
WIFE" II this is true. it is because she is
controlled by duty instead Of the changing
eaprices Of affection. "TrOuDle in the
flesh will come TO every married couplc.
Why not accept IT. The most wrctched
married people / have ever known were
always quite willing and even anxious TO
see their children settled for life in mar
riage. knowing that they would lind shel-
ter and protection thereby, ii not in the
affection, az least by the law, which
compels the husband TO support
his wife, support perhaps mea-
gre enough and grudgiLgly bestowed.
Look around ON all your friends, mar
ried or single, and ask yourselves the
question, Which L. the preferable lot! IL
you are strong enough TO fight alone the
battle OF life, to earn your own bread and
butter, you are just In the condition 20 gain
the respect at least Of husband, and hav-
ing hearty, genuine respect, admiration
and love are not far distant. The truth is,
dear girls. too many enter this holy cond-
ton hoping 10 find in II only ease. adula-
ton, and pleasure. Such persons will ind
the reverse OF what they seek. Read Ten
Dyson's Princess" Had he not the true
conception Of happiness in ihis condition?
A man must be bad, indeed, that can treat
with disrespect = woman who respects her
self. As rule, good woman will make
q good home; we know OF exceptions to
this, however. But II You have made UP
your minds ~ follow the bent OF your own
wills and pave way for yourselves you
may do we'll; but those who intend to en-
ter the married state, should good oppor.
tunity come 10 them, 1 have only to say,

what Is required OF you as = wife. BE will

The police at midnight tonight raided all

They were all taken to police headquarters

moned. Great excitement prevails among
sporting-men OF this city. Those arrested
comprised all the prominent gamblers ex-
cept Fred. Bellinger alias /" French Fred. !"
and Major John Quimby, both OF whom
are out Of town. Those arrested repre-
sented all the gambling-hOuses in the city.
The lambs" were all taken in as well rs
the keepers OF houses. Many prominent
Rochester people were found in the houses
OF the gamblers. All the " lambs" were
fined S25 each, the keepers being fined
four or five times that amount. 1t is the
most extensive raid ever made on gamblers
in this city. IL is thought that there are
large number OF prominent out-ot-town
gamblers among those arrested, but all

The EHors TO Utilize Natural Ga,

iatOtlcff July ftusl
An effort is being made TO utilize natu-
raj gas in the great industries OF Pittsburgh
and with fair promise OF a certain degree
OF success, though il is doubtful whether
the hopes Of the inhabitants will be fully
realized and Pittsburgh be relieved of ali
ITS smoke through the Use Of gas. East
Liverpool, Ohio has for years been burn
Ing natural gas, but without any remarkn-
BILE degree OF success. AT Sharpsburg
also IL has been used in the manufacture
OF iron, but the supply is not reliable
enough TO sllow entire dependence
10 be placed upon il. Occasionally the
works have 10 be stopped or return made
10 the use Of coal. The supply Of gas,
however, at both East Liverpool and
Sharpsburg Is SO steady aS to give the idea
that il comes not from reservoir, but
from what may be natural retort, where
the gas, almost pure hydrogen, is gene
rated. What the effect Of the sinking OF
large number OF wells las at Pittsburgh
win be no one can foresee. II they should
tap simple reservoir the pressure might
be expected to fall rapidly, and even If they
should reach generator the supply NAV be
too limited for general use. For the time
~seing, however, there is an abundant sup
~, and preparations are beng made for
the very general use OF the natural fuel In
It's most economical and convenient form.
DR.. siemens expressed the opinion some
years ago. that the fuel Of the future would
be used inils gaseous form for all purposes,
and, theoretically at least, there would be
great economy in such use, provided the
gas was prepared OF different qualities for
beating aud lighting aud the best sppli-
ances used 10 burning them. Perhaps the
Pittsburgh experiments with natural gas
may lead TO the development Of Dr. Sic
mens's idea.

CurfOSstios of tlse Law.


The majesty Of the law is a great aud
awful thing, but /. is sometimes maintained
at the expense Of perpleXing illogical
methods. A case in point is afforded bv
the application Of the extraordinary law
TO be found in the Public Statutes. chapter
20j, section Is, which reads as follows " IL
a iailer or other officer voluntarily suffers a
prisoner in his custody upon conviction or
upon criminal charge TO escape. he shall
suffer tue like punishment and penalties as
the prisoner suffered TO escape was sem
fenced to or would be liable TO suffer upon
conviction Of the crime wherewith he
stood charged" Under this statute is
called the case OF the Government against
John smith. Government states that Obi.
Ger John Smith voluntarily suffered Will
liam Jones, a prisoner in his custody
upon the charge of murder in the
first degree. 10 escape, and moves
that sentence Of death be passed
upon John Smith. Smith admits volun-
tarily suffering Jones To escape, but says
that Jones has been rccaptgred, and may
be innocent, and that it is not fair TO hang
him first and try him aiterwsrd; bat the
court says that nevertheless that was doubt
less the intent of the law, aud sentences
John Smith 10 be hanged by the neck till
he Is dead, and then tries William Jones,
and the Jury acquits him. Ii is true that
the prisoner should be punished in suita-
Die manner, but 1t seems All absurd relic Of
