WHILE Hendricks rides unscathed
through railroad wrecks, a fearful fa-
tality attends the Blaine party. At a
Republican demonstration in Ohio
last week one man was killed and sew
elal wounded by the premature dis
charge of cannon, and in West Vir-
ginia two men were killedlby the burst
ing Of an overcharged gun. Then In
San Francisco an overcharged Blaine
man turned his revolver loose in a
Republican procession, killing one
man and wounding two boys. The
ouly safe place is in the Democratic
marty.

The Dallas Herald is an intelligent
paper, and should know that it is the
rich man who can afford to Craze his
cattle on leased lands, and the poor
man that can afford to Craze bis cattle
on free grass. Still the Herald insists
that the poor man will be benefited
and the rich man will suffer, il no
man, without he can afford to lease
and pay rent, shall be allowed TO Craze
his cattle upon the public lands of the
state. The Herald ought to be ashamed
of itself.

The point to be noted Is that a full
vote has always given a Republican
majority, and such victories as the
Democrats have won were due to fall
ing of from the Republican vote and
not to an increase of their own. The
only exception to this rule was last
year, when after an exciting campaign

taste in dress made HIM a social favor

honored guest in the most exclusive
drawing-rooms. Thousands admired
the fascinating beau, and enyied the
career OF the most successful "society
man. among the gay and pleasurc-loy-

But he became one of the most M
happy men in the British Isles, and his
lie ended as a disastrous wreck. A
fortune had been spent in dissipation:

and his word Of honor came to have No
higher value than his credit. He was
compelled to leave England ruined
alike in fortune and reputation, and to
lead a miserable life in the north If

Marriage In Jaya.

As a small party of us we're sitting on
the wide piazza OF u dwelling house
in Java, early one evening, atten-
ton was called to sounds Of Malay mu-
sic evidently approaching us. Looking
down the street we saw a procession OF
native men (Javanese) marching along
to the music, and four abreast. In the
second row there were five. The center
one was covered by a large umbrella.
] inquired why this man was SO honored
and was told that he was to be married.
The next day l was taken to see the
house where the bride lived and where
they were making grand preparations
for the marriage. They were con-
structing q large and covered platform
of bamboo for the accommodation Of
the guests and the Malay band of mu-
sic. On the succeeding day we heard
the same performers and saw Il longer
procession than the first one. At the
head of this procession came two
wooden figures oman and woman) about
eight feet high. These were hollow, so
that the boys could enter and operate
to give them motion. Next behind
them were the musicians; then an open
carriage drawn by two ponies covered
with flowers and variously colored pa
pers cut up in patterns. Inside sat
the bride and groom. The bride
was decked in flowers and jewels, and
her face, head and dress were COM
pletely covered with yellow ochre pow
der. A number of carriages followed
the party with relatives and friends who
were also adorned with flowers, jewels,
etc. On the third day l was invited to
attend the wedding, SO we walked down
to the BRIDES house. There we found
the bamboo platform occupied by a
band of music and an exhibition of
marionettes, which %personated charac-
tiers in legends of the Javanese people.
The hadji, or native priest, was con-
Quoting this novel show, which took
hours to go through. l, however, was
more anxious to see the bride, and ac-
cordingly was ushered into the princi-
pal 1t was a large, square
apartment, the front being opened by

remote corners of the stone floor was
seated on a handsome mat the bride.
elect, with downcast eyes, and in the
adjacent corner sat the bridegroom.
The bride was famed by two little girls
and the groom by two boys. In the
center of the floor their feast was spread.
The festivities lasted through the night,
and refreshments were abundantly
served to the guests in and about the
house at any time and all times just as
they called for them. At intervals the
dancing girls were introduced and the
tamtams for their dance music. At
break Of day the groom claimed his wife
and escorted her to his own house.
They then had a procession similar to
the first one, except that the brides
presents were seen carried in front by
coolies. At the groom's house festiv-
tiles were continued according to the
length of his purse. 1t often happens
that these speople use all the money
they have on such occasions. They
are improvidcnt, and ordinarily live on
very small sums, obtaining easily the
little they need for maintenance. -Jaca

Stupid Women.

Mrs. Lincoln, of the Boston cooking
school, has just issued a volume OF her
recipes, in the preface to which she re-
marks that the reader may consider her
unnecessarily minute in her directions,
but that her experience has taught her
that no detail is small enough to be left
unmentioned, and we might us well add,
! that it is not safe to take even the pos
session of common sense for granted.
This may sound Il trlile severe, yet it
would probably be agreed to by any
body who should take the trouble to
visit the cooking school. and sit for an
hour listening to Mrs Lincoln's lecture
and to the stupid and insane questions
asked by well dressed and apparently
intelligent women.
1t CHANGED that n afternoon some
wooden spoons, such as Mrs. Lincoln
uses, had been ordered by her for vari-
Gus ladies who had wished to buy them.
The spoons were distributed to their
various purchasers, and a moment of
silent examination. followed. Then a
lady enquired in q distrustful and plead
ing voice:
'Mrs. Lincoln, could-er-l use my
spoon to stir frosting?"
Mrs. Lincoln kindly gave her the re-
CURED permission, and she relapsed
into contented silence.
Another pupil was much excited by
the fact that when it was desirable to
increase the the heat of the gas range
the Jets in the chandelier were lowered.
why" demanded this bewildered
female in an awestruck tone, "'why does
she have TO fry her croquettes in the
dark?"
She evidently thought the frying of
croquettes to be a religious rite which
demanded a dim and mystic light for its
proper pursuance.
Yet another intelligent questioner-
but this was in the olden days OF Miss
Parloa-propounded this conundrum
with all the gravity which beftted its
weight.
.'Miss Parloa, nay family is so large
that one loaf of angel cake is not
enough; now if l want to make two
loaves. must l double the quantity OF
materials?"
These examples are not given as ex-
amples Of ignorance of cookery, because
! that, of course, is entirely cxcusable in
anybody who is not obliged to cook,
but it is the lack of simple common
sense which is SO remarkable in women
of at least ordinary intelligence and Of
good Standardization Courier.
