The Slow-to- Get Married Young Man.
PHILADELPHIA Times

Pnllduelpnla Times.
The young man of Macon, Ga, who
only last week asked to have his we'd
ding day postponed, is ore of many
thousands who, with or without asking,
are constantly putting off the fata day.
And, naturally enough, the question
arises in inquisitive minds: Why is this
as it isp The philosophers say that
every event has its cause. And this
state of things is a big event. All right
minded men agree with the Scriptures
that whatsoever getteth a good wife Sc
cures treasure and blessing. And
the experiences of happily married men
in all generations confirm this view of
the case. Unfortunately the records of
divorce courts and the unrecorded con-
versations of the club rooms do not
quite chime in with this beautiful of the
question, and the knowing modern
young man hangs his head and fails to
come to time. The young men of the
period say the girls do'not now marry
for love or because they want to pro-
vide cultured and happy homes for
their husbands and families and so be-
come the choicest aspirations of general
society. They say the girls marry for
money or for homes for themselves
that is, for surer centers of social triv-
ialty; that the idea of being Il help-mate
has vanished from the feminine mind,
and of course young men do not want
wives who drag them down. The girls
tell very different story and blame it
on the miserable sel6shness of men. II
is hard to decide.

They Had Hearts.

1t was at station in the Burnt
Woods district of Arkansas, where civ
ilization runs an inch to the mile.
The ''station' was a rough, shake
shanty in which an operator told on
the wire about the movements of the
two trans that daily noticed, the dot in
the burnt timbers. When the train
came in frowsy, woe-begone, fried
out looking woman, with three child

log near the rough, platform, waiting
for something or somebody-the Lord

"Thar's one on 'em. Half human!
and half boss. Lives on the dints up

evidently caring nothing whether he

cheeks. "What are you crying forp'

Why De Young Was Shot.

When Kate Castleton, the. actress.
carried San Francisco by storm.
Spreckles and DeY Dung were both de-
voted to her, and the race for time
seemed to the public to be about even.
although Spreckles really had the adj
vantage After the battle for the
heart had progressed for some time,
it is stated that Spreckles partially
gave up the fight and then publicly
declared on the street that it cost De-
Young 81, 900 worth of diamonds for
the smiles of the charming Kate,
which were bestowed upon him for
nothing. This coming to the ears of
DeYoung, he set to work to secure
number of love-letters that Spreckles
had written, and he sent word to the
young sugar king that he proposed to
publish them. At that time The Chro,i-
icle began its bitter war on the sugar
monopoly, and ,Spreokles, thinking the
love-letters would soon be published,
shot at and attempted to kill De-
Young, in order to put an end to the
entire war.-Wrginia (Neo.) Enter

Nicaragua Canal.

1t is estimated that the proposed
Nicaragua Canal would cost between
$50, 100000 and 800, 100000. In the
course of time it would probably prove
to be great success from financial
point of view, as it would certainly be
in other respects. The Suez. Canal
cost Sl00,000,00O, and it now pays
dividends on sum equal to $400, 000,-
900. The commerce passing through
that waterway is far greater than the
possible traffic by way of the American
isthmus; but with very much less
business the Nicaragua Canal would
still be profitable Cincianati Times

FUNNY FILiBUSTERS.

How Their Operations are Mana ged ia
1nure to the Benefit of Interested Parties
"A Coincidence. To Say the Least.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November ga
naval officer here, in talking to Star re-
porter concerning the reported Cuban
filibustering expedition, advanced q
curious theory about how and why these
expeditions are organized. He said:
"They never organize the expeditions
in the summer when it is too hot for
Christians to live in that country, or at
any time when naval vessels are apt to
be in dock for repairs. They always
take place when it is convenient for as
sistance to be sent to Key West. Now,
I'll tell you the secret of the whole
thing. Those alleged expeditions are In
stigated by the merchants, and they
don't amount to anything. The mer.
chants make subscriptions and hire
some ragged, worthless fellows to
begin drilling at night In
out of the way places, and to pretend to
be plotting in secrecy. The news Ia
flashed over the wires that formidable
filibustering expedition is being prepared
and an appeal for aid to crush it is made;
the vessels of the North Atlantic squad
ron are sent down for that purpose, and
the whole matter blows over and amounts
to nothing. The end in view has been
gained, though. The vessels fireman.
in port for some time, and
hundred thousand dollars OF
more have been expended by
the officers in making purchases and
in supplying the ship. The filibusterers
were all ina einary. Now, mark what
say: These expeditions are never gotten
up at a time when assistance can not be
sent from the navy. The statistics In
the matter will bear me out in this. ]
am firmly convinced that every one OF
these expeditions are originated by the
resident merchants for their own bene-
fit.'
stThis theory is confirmed" continued
the officer, ''by the fact that all these
filibustering expeditions could be put
stop to by the Treasury Department.
The collector at the port has all the
power necessary, and the revenue ma
rine vessels could do much better service
than the naval vessels, but they want
the naval vessels, and they generally
manage to have them uselessly nj
down.

Horrible Suicide of a rramp.

iy before noon yesterday most deliber-l
ate and horrible suicide occurred at the
Fifty-Ninth street crossing of the Alle-

heavy freight train approached the cross
ing, a man was observed to approach
the track and deliberately lie down.
placing his neck on the rail, and allowed
the train 10 pass over him. The train
was stopped and the CHASTITY remains
pulled out from under so frightfully
mutilated as to be unrecognizable. The
man appeared to be about twenty-five
years of age, and was to all appearances
