MULDOON'S REMNANTS.

Men marry widows for other attractions
than mere love. 1t might also be added that
widows marry again for more than simple
affection. Sum up both sides, and the con-
clusion drawn is that it is charming bust
ness arrangement. Fourteen or fifteen years
ago one of the correspondents of paper
"Brick" Pomeroy was editing then was a
widow Evidently either what she wrote or
her chirography was fascinating Git takes SO
little a thing to make woman fascinating),
for sBrick' met her, wooed and won her.
IT'S said that she married for money-he for
love. He deckcd her with with jewels and
bank notes for while, then the services OF
friend were secured, and they parted by
mutual consent. In her earlier years this
Mrs. Pomeroy was known as Louise Rider,
of Cleveland, Ohio, where her father has
some prominence as an attorney. Later,
she has been winning honors on the Aus
tralian stage as an actress.

Charley Foster, of Ohio-"Calico Charley
lis idling away the summer months at the
Toledo. He is put down by some as broken
hearted politician, though politics ruin more
pocket books than hearts.

joey Mcdonald, of Indiana, as presi-
dental candidate would have furnished the
tid-bits of gossip. Imagine his election and
the elite of Washington led by woman
who, paying $4,000 to secure divorce, mar
ried the attorney that won her case. How
the rouge-bedaubed checks of Washington
bellies would have flushed at the bare idea.
At least a clever application of carmine
would have given the appearance of flushing.

At the table Senator Thurman is some
thing of an epicure, arranging with his own
hand palatable salads and other dishes to
tickle his judicial palate with. Yet his cour-
tesy is so perfect that he rarely fails to offer
to his right or left hand companions por-
ton of the delicacy. Thurman is gentle
man of the old school style. May Allah pre-
serve him. s7aes 9p' y

The fact that Thurman at the close of the
war sheltered and aided some southern
friends from Kentucky, would undoubtedly
have been used against him, in case he had
been the Democracy's nominee. ''Bloody
Shirt instead of ''Dirtv Scandal would
have been the issue then.

The superintendent of a large manufac-
turing establishment in New York, and g
staunch Republican, wrote letter to his
father in Minnesota the other day. By cour
tesy, am permitted to furnish you with this
extract, which goes on to say that he is going
to vote for Cleveland; says that he will surely
be elected unless something turns the on
coming popular tide of enthusiasm for him
that change will do the country good, AMI
cannot make it any worse than it is now
Of the custom officers that he meets dsily he
says: "Who are the rum bloated individuals
looking as If they were only earth's scum
Their appearance makes me sick, and want
to see the whole gang cleared out, and see
if the Democracy will not in their admins
tration remove the now self-evident existing
corruption"

In letter from Massachusetts, friend re-
ceived this week, 1 find the following passage
Inasmuch as my friend is Republican, it is
very significant: ''Our poor. old perplexed
state is rather going back on her record as
straight Republican. So many are bound tt
bolt Blaine. Our standbys are in about the
mental mood of the legendary old hen tha
Matched a healthy nestful of ducklings ant
stood by while they took to the water.'
