WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
The Gentler Sex Are Wearing the
Bifurcated Garments Nova
days.

The increasing popularity of horse
back riding among people of all
classes in Washington, says a writer
Of the Baltimore American, empha-
sizes the fact that seems rather sur
prising to some of the readers of this
correspondence that a great many
Washington ladies wear trowsers,
and it has been mischievously re-
marked in certain quarters that the
novel experience OF wearing pants
has gone a great way towards induc-
ing some rather timid ladies to un-
dcrtake the task of learning TO ride.
The best riding habits, here or else
where, are made by tallors who make
this line of business specially, and
who have in some of their myster-
ious back parlors, wooden horse
OIL which the ladies ST, while their
cloth shirts are draped to hang well
over the tight-fltting pants. "Of
course" said one Of these tailors, "of
course ladies wear pants with their
riding habits. They wear them un-
der their riding skirts. This has
been the custom for some time. They
wear their skirts shorter than for
merly, just so as TO touch the ground
when they stand. Then they wear
pants underneath, nothing else; no
skirts. Washington Is very like
Paris. The ladies have got good
taste. | could name lots of ladies-I
don't know how many-who come
in and have their measures taken,

and they are much easier TO serve
than men, And the trying on Of

maids in attendance. They retire to
a parlOr and put on the garment,

they get it on l am sent for and 60

ing il for alteration, and letting it
out there. When have finished |

her garment. This is the custom al
together in Paris and is very rapidly
becoming so here.
The average Washington price of
a lady's riding habit is about 800.

TATE's CARD.
He Believes He is the Choice Of
the Democratic Party, and He
Asks Their Vote.

FRANKFoRT, KY, July S.-IIon
James w. Tate, State Treasurer and
Democratic nominee for reelection
before the people of Kentucky, will
publish the following Tomorrow:
To the Democracy Of kentucky:
For some months past have been
a candidate for the Office of State
Treasurer, subject TO the action of the
Democratic party. On the 18th of
last June the Democratic Central and
Executive Committees of the State
met in the city of Frankfort and de-
clared me the nominee of the Democ-
ratio party for that Office. This action
on their part was taken without ad-
visement Or suggestion from me and
was in accordance with precedent
established as far back as 1869. l had
then and have now no wish to run
for the Office of Treasurer in opposi-
ton to the wishes of the great body
of the party throughout the State,
and all the nominations | have re-
ceivod either by the State Central
Committee or by the party in con-
vention assembled have been given
to me without a canvass of the State.
| can say of truth that during the
eighteen years | have held the office
of Treasurer, | have never been
present in my own interest at a
county convention called to appoint
delegates to the State Convention, If
there had been opposing candidates
| have no doubt The committees
would have called a convention, and
| should have urged them to do So.
But in order to save the expense of
an assembling of the State Democ-
racy, and in view of the fact that in
1869, 1873, 1877 and 1881 l had been
declared the nominee without protest
or complaint, | accepted the nOmina-
ton, believing then and believing
now that | was and am the choice of
the Democratic party Of the State.
| ask the sullrages of my fellow
Democrats upon the ground that l
have faithfully discharged the duties
of the office. have always been a
Democrat, and have devoted the best
years of my life to the services ofthat
party. If elected l pledge my best
efforts to the service of the whole
people in the management Of the
State finances. l write this inasmuch
as my duties will not allow me to
visit the various counties, and as l
shall not attempt a personal can
yass of the State.
Most respectfully,
JAMES w. TATE.

MARRIED IN FUN.
A Joking Ceremony at a Railway
Station Followed by Serious
Complications.

New YoRK, July g. Commercial
Gazette Special. On the evening of
October 8, 1876, Miss Flora A. last
ings, who had been spending her
summer vacation at the Sweet Cha
lybeate Springs, Va, was standing
on the platform of the station at Al.
leglIaney Station waiting for the
train to take her back to Notre Dame
Academy, Baltimore. In the party
which had come to bid her farewell
was Jas. o. B. Kelly, aged eighteen,
two of his sisters, and the Rev. VIM.
Walsh, priest connected with the
academy. During the ride in an
open carriage to the station Kelly
had proposed that Flora should be-
come his wife, saying that it would
be fun to be married. When they
aligbted Kelly led the laughing
girl to their friend, the priest, and
asked him TO perform the ceremony.
"Jim, dOyou want to marry Flo
ra?"
"Yes," answered Jim, with a
laugh.
"And, Flora, do you want to mar
~ Jim p again queried the priest.
81 don't object" she replied; and
Kelly answered: GAN right"
Then Flora asked the priest, "Is
that real marriage ?" and he an
swered "Nonsense." The train thun-
dered up to the station. Miss Hast
ings and KeIly's sisters babe him
goodbye and were carried eff to
Staunton, where they stayed all
night at a hotel. Kelly was not SO
soon to be disposed of. lie swung
on the rear car of the train, and sur
prised the party at the breakfast ta-
BILE in the morning. No allusion
was made to the marriage ceremony,
and IN the afternoon Miss Hastings
returned to her school at Baltimore
alone.
Kelly made no effort to again see
her, and never claimed her as his
wife. Two years passed, and on
April 25, 1878, Flora Hastings was
married by the Archbishop at the
cathedral in San Francisco, to Win
field Scott Keys. In June, 1888, her
husband, to whom she had borne a
child, heard of his wife's alleged
marriage in Virginia, and brought
suit for divorce. She wrote and
then went to Kelly, asking him to
declare that the whole thing was a
joke, and to give up all claim to her.
This Kelly refused to do, and she
came to this State, took up her abode
here, and brought suit =: the Su-
preme Court asking to have the cere-
mony in Virginia declared void on
the ground that Kelly had persuaded
her to it by falsely representing that
it was joke.
Referee King, who was appointed
to ascertain the facts, made his re-
port to-day. lie held that the al
legged ceremony did not constitute a
legal marriage contract, and Justice
Andrews confirmed the report.

Selling by Weight.

1t will be a novel sensation to buy
our potatoes, our molasses, our beer
and our claret by the pound, but we
shall find it greatly to our advantage.
Beer at ten cents pound would be
far cheaper than beer at five cents a
glass, and so far as Coney Island beer
is concerned, when we remember the
extreme lightness of froth, we can
comprehend that pound Of the beer
in question would cost no more than
hundred glasses. 1t will take some

A SOLDIERS JOKE.

We were lying in winter quarters,
and had days and days of nothing to
do. l did not play cards, but my
tent mate did. lie also had three
special friends who played and their
meeting place was in my tent. There
they met day after day-in the morn
ing, in the afternoon and in the eve
ming until late at night. Our tent
was built for permanent quarters. In
one end we made a door eighteen
inches wide by three feet high. On
the opposite side was a replace
built outside of small sticks, like
stone work, and covered inside with
clay mortar.
The boys, as usual, were at heir
cards. l took a friend into my coun-
sells, and we procured u shell which
had blown the load out without
bursting. We fastened into this shell
long fuse. l then told my friend to
90 away several rods to an empty
dry goods box, and strike upon it so
us to make 1t sound like the booming
of distance cannon.
clark" said one, "d'you hear
that? That's from Lees battery on
the left. We may have other busi-
ness than card playing by daylight"
just then "boomp went the old
dry goods box, and instantly drop
ped the shell, with the burning fuse,
down the chimney. The shell fell
upon the fire and rolled under the
bunk on which the boys were sitting.
"Tch-tch-tch-" went the burning
fuse. The boys thought it a mes
sage direct from Lees battery. Two
tried to jump through the door at the
same time and blocked up the mar
row door SO that neither was able to
get out.
A full evacuation of the tent was
finally effected and retreat made
not, however, in good order. No one
was killed ; but the boys waited be-
hind distant trees for more than thirty
mortal minutes momentarily expect
ing TO see the tent blown to atoms.
After while these heroes came to-
gether, and in the council of war
they held on the field of fright, it was
decided that they had been the VIC
Tins of fraud. But there was nc
more card. playing In my tent.
