Washington Letter Chicago Tribuuel
Washington cannot be considered q
good Observation-Disclosures Theyoung
women do not find husbands easily in
the society of this place The proof of
the fact is that there Is hardly a lead
ing official or wealthy family here that
has not one or two old maids upon
its hands. This is notably true of
some OF the most prominent and dis
tinguished. Here are daughters whose
fathers have large wealth and hand
some positions. Yet their daughters,
who are thoroughly trained, we'll
hammered, and educated, do not find
husbands Whether it Is that these
young ladies aim to high or not is
unknown. 1t may be that their faith
ers are not able to give them money
enough to set them up in establish
mentS equal to their own, and as
natural consequence these young
women may prefer the prestige and
comfort of their fathers handsome
positions to the obscurity Of marrying
an humble citizen or the uncertainty
involved in marrying man who Is
not rich. could name at least twenty
young ladies who have been bellies in
Washington society for at least ten
years. There are very few marrying
young men in Washington. The army
and navy fellows are the principal
candidates for matrimony. You may
add to this list thirty or forty half
starved attaches OF the different lega-
tions But all these young men are
thrifty and are looking out for rich
wives. The noble and energetic young
man whois making his own way in the
world and who is growing up with the
country does notcOmetO WashingtO on.
The men who do come here and who
have money are generally already
provided with a family or are beyond
middle age when men do not act
hastily and are not apt to set up new
establishments or mcwnew ties. The
only real eligibIes are the widowers.
They are considered as faircandidates
and every now and then one OF them
succumbs. The number, however, is
limited, and outside OF their money
and position would not be considered
anywhere else aS prizes

Didn't Bar Her Dover.

From the Chicago Tribune
A Rhode Island husband and wife
separated twenty years ago, and the
husband applied for a divorce. The
divorce was denied. Then the wife APP
piled for a divorce This was granted,
and the husband was ordered to pay
the wife alimony of 500 per year.
Several years later the legislature
changed the law and the husband
stopped paying. Meanwhile the hus-
band sold two houses in Fall River,
the wife not Joining in the deed. The
parties continued to live separate,
and about a month ago the husband
died, aged 76. OnefOllOwed him to
the grave but the two families who
had bought the real estate from him.
Now that he is dead his wife, who is y
years old, becomes vested in right OF
dover in the houses which he sold, and
has made demands upon the purchas-
ers for her third which they viii
have to pay.

whole appearance OF the book depends
on how this crushing is done 1t may
be so slight as to be slight as to be of
little service, and to look more like
the result OF accident than of design,
or it may be carried SO far that the
desirable quality OF texture is quite
lost, or it may be uneven, spotty, and
sIOvenly. The gilt tooling and letter

which is done with small stamps,
called irons, although universally en-
graved in brass, may be so arranged
as to form very pretty patterns or the
reverse. 1t follows that a book may
have as much character i'm its outside
appearance as its inside, and very
often it has more substance. Like ey-
erything that is done 10y hand, it may
be vulgar or quiet, coarse or elegant,
timsy or substantial, There is no
sort OF hand work that does not rise
at times to the dignity OF fine art,
and bookbinding Is certainly no eX-
ception.

4 Horrible Case of Hydrophobia in Chica
go-SamueI LaZare's Suflerinps

\ Hofflble case OF Hydrophobia in Chica-
go-samuel Lazare's Suflerings.
Samuel Lazare, a Frenchman who
was the proprietor Of a small grocery
store at 2ll West Lake Street. Chica-
90, died on theevening of the 18th. al
ter three days OF terrible agony.
About eight weeks ago he was bitten
IN the left hand, between the thumb
and foretinger. by a large Newfound-
land dog, which he kept chained in the
yard back OF his house The wound
was q slight one, but he took the pre-
caution to have it cauterized, which
was done within twenty minutes after
the bite was received. On the 18th
he was seized with a spasm on at
tempting to drink a glass OF water.
and from that time until his death he
suffered all the horrors Of hydropho-
bla, except when under the influence
OF narcotics. While laboring in the
parONysms OF the disease it required
the combined efforts Of four men to
hold him in bed. He snapped and
snarled at every one who approached
him, and the sight Of water or any
liquid aggravated his sutferings.

Fewer Irish Imminrants

New prh Cor. Boston Herald
1t Is noted as a peculiar fact at Cas-
tie Garden that the number of Irish
immigrants arrivingis curiousIv small.
For a month back they have been
coming in from Ireland in very much
decreased numbers. until now there
are hardly any Irishmen on the ships
reaching port. The fact Is rather puz-
Zling to the Castle Garden authorities.
but 1t Is easily enough explained by
anybody who has ever been through
Ireland carefully. The truth Is. the
government isn't sending any people
over here this winter, and the reason
lies IN the comparative prosperity OF
the country during the past wear. In
famine years, which occur about once
so often, lots Of people are forced
into the almShOuses. and government
agents simply 90 about among the
destitute, agreeing to pay their pas
sage to foreign countries. The biggest
and brawniest OF them are sent to
Canada, Australia. and other British
possessions. The Others are usually
shipped to America. Sometimes the
scheme Is detected, and the pau
pers are sent back to their native
country. But. as a rule. there i a
strong ambition among the Irish peo-
pie to get to America somehow. and
when they are questioned by the au-
thorities upon their arrival here. they
are willing enough to do almost any
kind OF lying which viii save them
from being sent back to the squalor
at home. 1t is in this way that in
in famine years the immigration OF
Irish people far exceeds that OF other
periods. The people coming over now
are mostly Germans and Swedes. with
a sprinking OF English, Scotch. Welsh.
and Italians. German and Swedish
immigration. in fact, appears to he
growing larger, while the Irish is fall
