HOUSE MT. Morrison reported favorabIy from the Ways and Means committee a bill to reduce import duties and war tariff taxes, (the new tariff bill,) accompanied with a written report. MT.

 The first formal amendment was proposed by MT. Hoar to increase the item for con- pensation for postmasters from $lO, 500, GOO to SIP, 25e,O0O. He said the percentage to postmasters was fixed by law and even the amendment would leave deficiency.
 After discussion and without disposing of MT. Hoar's amendment, the committee rose and the House at 4:45 adjourned.

How Ballet Girls Live aud Dress.

was al the Standard Theatre and
nibblsd prstzels and dried prunes with
the premiere ofthe ballet She was .eat-
ed on the top Of small heating stove -
the fire was out, by the way-snd trying
to put steels in pair Of pale pink corsets.
Suddenly she dropped both steel and
stays, and, rushing over to a stand, took
Q cigarette from q cellar-box and pro-
ceeded to light it at the gas. She told
me she had all the vices of the stage,
and had rather forfeit her three meals
than lose her package of sweet caporals
She uses a package every day and makes
no secret of her Unsuitable tastes.
"One has little idea," said he, "of tn.
expenses ballet girl is under" A pair
of shoes rarely lasts her more than a
week, and, As there is no market west of
New York, she is obliged to buy them
by the dozen-price, $50. Tarletan she
consumes in fifty-yard pieces, and for
every new dress dozen yards of tinsel
fringe is used. As she wears from five
to eight skirts at time, it is not difficult
to see where she puts bolt of tarletan
each week. Salaries range from $25 to
$50 week. Out of this they pay for
everything but car fare, and when pay
day comes they are as badly "broke" as
a journeyman tailor. The life cfa ballet
girl is about twenty. seven years; that is,
she begins at 8, and can get engagements
until she is IS. After that her chances
are slim, and il she revels in wine, Gig
arettes. silk tights, nice clean dresses and
fresh flowers, without regard for the
rainy day, she usually winds up in the
poo--house, or, worse yet, gets 81 po-
sition in some concert hall. IT is the
easiest thing in the world to make mon
ey on the stage, but as rule-well, am
bilious girls had better eschew the ballet
business,

And there isn't bow or n ribbon wrong.

In the folds OF your dress are demurely hill.
Your eyes are bent most modestly down,
Till no ono knows II they're black or brown.

Who never could keep your hair In Gun:
Are you the girl who used to run

And are You the tombOy-I almost doubt
Who sang TO me "Over the fence Is out!
Are you the girl with the laughing eye,
And the strong inclination to chaf and guyr

Out of the bathrooms feverish glare;
Come out with me meath the moon serene-O
I don I care a snap If you are eighteen.
Come away from the suitors who bow so low
WAS your sweetheart ten years ago.
And alone ard away from this well-drossed
whirl,
BE Nelly the hoyden-the same old girl!

The grounds for the action were that
when Mrs. Macklin married, her first
husband was living, and it is alleged that
he is now alive and residing with a sec
ond wife in Brooklyn. On the other
hand, Mrs. Hedner and Mr.. Macklin
when placed on the stand, swore that
they had never seen each other before,
notwithstanding which numerous wit
swore positively to the identity of Mack
lin. The case is believed to have no
parallel in the courts of Kings counyt.
Mrs. Macklin was young wife and
the mother of one child when, in 1862,
her husband. Richard tombstone Mack
lin, enlisted in the Union army. She
heard from him at intervals for more
than year, and then there was a long
silence, and at the expiration of several
months she received intelligence If his
death.
Mrs. Macklin donned widows weeds,
and while mourning her husbands death
her child died. She then took up her
residence with her friends and lived
quietly until 1873, when she received the
attentions Of Mr.. Hedner, a well known
gentleman and a widower with several
children, The courtship extended over
a period of eleven months, during which
time Mr.. Hedner was fully informed as
to Mrs. Macklin's former marriage, and
| in 1374-eleven years after Macklin's
reported death-they were married.
Nothing happened TO mar their domes-
tic peace and happiness until two years
ago, when Mr.. Hedner informed her that
Macklin was living in the Brooklyn
suburbs with wife and family. lnvesti-
cation proved that man named Rich
ara ]. Macklin did live in Brooklyn as
stated, and also that he left the city
about 1862 and joined the army. When
tcstifying before the referee, however, he
swore that he had never seen Mrs
Hedner; that he was a single man when
he joined the army, and that he married
on his return for the first time, and had
since been @ resident of Brooklyn and
made no concealment of his marriage.
Mrs. Hedner, when sworn, in the most
solemn manner called on God to witness
that she had never seen Mr.. Macklin
in her life, and when the two were con-
fronted with each other neither was in
the slightest manner Disconnected, and
repeated their denials Of ever having met
before. Former friends and acquain-
tances of both, however, swore that they
had been married, and were positive as
to their identity.
After long Investigation and careful
consideration the referee decided that
the proponderaDce Of testimony was
against the defendant and psssed an or
der, which was approved in the Brook
Ign City court, snnulliug the marriage.
Mrs. Hedner had no children by her sec
ond marriage, and, though her friends
were prepared to aid her in carrying the
case to higher court, she concluded to
accept the decision a final.
