a BRIDAL FREAK.
The Funny Couple That Drove
Around the Streets Ia Wedding
Garments.

From the Baltimore American
The sight of a blushing bride, in full
bridal costume, sitting in an open buggy on
Baltimore street, met the eye of all pass
ers-by yesterday afternoon. The bride
who looked old enough to know better
wore a wreath of orange blossoms and
smilaX and veil. while her hands were en-
cased in white kid gloves and her feet i'm
white shoes. At her bosom she wore
large bunch of orange blossoms. The white
cOntraSted greatly with her raven black
treSSes, which fell in ringlets about her
neck. Her husband wore full suit OF store
clothes and a straw hat. He had great diff
ficulty in steering the poor horse, and the
buggy looked as If il would fall to pieces.
The bride and groom rode up and down
Baltimore street. much to the amusement of
the crowds Oh the street, and in vain tried
TO find photographer who would take
them. At last they found one near Gay
street. When the groom found the place he
had much trouble in getting the horse and
buggy up to the curb. and at last had
10 get out and lift the buggy into position.
Then he lifted his wife out. and she stood
on the pavement in all her bridal glory, the
observed of all observers; but she did not
mind that, and seemed TO care more for the
safe disposal OF a handbook and lace shawl
than the crowd who watched her. The
couple went into one gallery. but there they
could not be taken large enough, and they
came down again and went into another.
The groom put on his white kid gloves,
and they had perfectly ''ScrumptuOuS
time" sitting for their picture in bridal
costume. Several plates were used be-
fore a good negative was secured, be-
cause the groom insisted upon kissing the
bride every time the photographers back
was turned. After the ''Ordeal'' the bride
took off her orange blossoms and veil and
opened the bandbOx and got ont a white
bonnet and put it on. Then the couple
left. The groom went into the middle of
the street and. after taking off the steam
boat hawser that tied the horse TO the
hitching post turned him or so the wheel
would not dirty the brides white dress,
and the lady. unassisted, hoped into the
buggy. He followed her, and soon the
vehicle and its precious load went down
the street and out of the city towards

buttermilk
Those who have been wont to indulge in
cocktails, sherry cobblers, punches and
other strong drink mixtures. as well as beer
and whisky straight, have discovered that
buttermilk is a pleasant and wholesome
summer drink. 1t is sold over the bars of
saloons and restaurants in large quantities,
the establishment of creameries having
thrown an ample supply of a superior ar
tcle on the market.
1t has also been discovered that butter
milk in a remarkable degree, satisfies the
craving for strong drink and enables a man
10 endure fatigue in warm weather better
than any other drink he can use. The pro-
prletor of n bar, who diSpOSeS of over a
dozen pailfnls daily, says it is remarkable
how quickly the appetite for it increases
after the first glass. He thinks it is des-
tined 10 destroy more drinking than ST.
John and his ProhibitioniStS can ever do.
Il have" said he, studied chemistry
since we took to selling buttermilk and
know that Tactic acid is one of the chief
agents that gives acidity to the gastric juice
of the stomach in health. This IS the acid
of sour milk, and. therefore, one of the
best summer diet drinks that one can use is
buttermilk.
1T satisfies the cravings for acids by Civ
ing TO the stomach natural supply, and
at the same time furnishing in its cheeSy
matter a good supply of wholesome nutri-
ton"
Ii houSekeepers would get their milkman
to serve them with daily supply of butter
milk, TO be drank occasionally as a subSti-
tute for ice water. they would find it highly
beneficial; for, next To strong drink, there

ize the colossal conspiracy which would be
required TO bring about panic without in
fiicting so much injury upon their own
property that they would not undertake it.
In discussing this subject, the Pitts
burg Post says: ''BesideS, supposing
that by any means a considerable
sum of gold was got together and boarded,
no profit would result. Nobody in this
country would buy the metal and nobody
in Europe could buy it. 1t is not like the
case of greenbacks during the war. Then
everybody feared and many believed that
the paper money of the country would, like
the old Revolutionary currency, be ulti-
mately repudiated and become worthless.
Consequently they fastened to exchange it,
not only for gold at great premium, but
also for merchandise and property of any
kind at enormous prices. Silver dollars,
on the contrary, are worth as bullion at
least eighty-three cents in gold, and so long
as their coinage is restricted to $500. 900 a
month, they will be maintained at par with
the gold dollar. This is the restricted COIN
age in the Latin union, and the rule holds
good in this country"
Undoubtedly in the course of ten or
twelve years more, says the Sun, 1.-The supply
of silver dollars will have driven gold out
of use, our minis will probably be thrown
open for the free coinage of silver dollars
and the silver standard will supplant the
gold standard. This event, however, is
too far off TO produce any effect at present,
and when it finally happens the result will
not be shock and panic, but transition
as quiet as that which marked the resump-
ton of specie payments SIX years ago."

Satisfied with the offer.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, July 2s.-There is genuine
satisfaction among the brokers in regard to
Vanderbilt's offer to West Shore bond
holders. 1t seems to crafty the bond
holders as well, and at the office of
Vanderbilt's agent in the matter it
was said this morning that a large
number of bonds had been added to Mr..
Vanderbilt's chances of success since yes
terday, while there is yet abundance of
time for the bondhOlderS themselves. either
for or against the Central propositions.
The indications are they will shoulder their
burden of losses, accept the per cent.
offer. and go out from the world of railway
investments poorer men. The brokers are
relieved of the hobgoblin that has been con-
fronting them on the exchange at all times
since the last spike was driven, and it is
generally regarded that the acceptance of
the propositions by the Lake Shore owners
will make, next autumn, a busy season
down town.

A Nice Little Pet Serpent.

Weldon n. g. News.
In the town of Halifax about month
ago, from well on the premises of Capt
Carraway was drawn up III the well bucket
live snake of the moccaSin species, about
foot and half long. BY some means the
life of the little snake was preserved, and.
it seems well cared for and petted. 1t con-
tinues to thrive and has developed wonder
fully, physically and mentally. Its dispo-
sitiOn is kind and tractable, readily taking
its food (insects) from the willing hands of
its benefactors and instructors, the little
children. In all their plays and frolics his
shakeShip can be seen occupying a prom
inent and enviable position alongside the
doll, kitten and baby-house-the SYNONYMS

Easf-Bound Freight Rates.

The unsatisfactory state of east-bound
freight rates from Chicago is extremely an
noying to the different lines running east
from st Paul. Statements are made at Chi
cagO that while the roads running east from
there insist that they are maintaining the
new twenty-eent tariff, there can no longer
be any doubt that the rates on grain and
provisions are being seriously cut by the
lines running east from st. Louis and
Peoria. 1t is for this reason, no doubt,
that the shipments from Chicago by Chi
cago lines have seriously decreased, while
the shipments from st. Louis and Peoria
have correspOndingly increased. 1t has
been admitted by the commissioners of the
Southwestern lines that they have been
cutting rates, and unless they desist the
east-bound roads from Chicago will be I'M
able TO maintain the twenty-cent rate, and
another break may be expected in day or
two.

receive no encouragement from the signal

A SENATORIAL SUCKER.

Ex-senator GORDON of Georgia, like
many another unfortunate fellow, has come
out of Wall street a wiser but good dea
poorer man. Gen. GORDON resigned his seat
in the United States senate. where he was
an hOnOred and influential member, to 20 into
railroad business, believing that he could
soon make fortune. EX-GOv. JOE BROWN
of that state, having made an immense for
tune out of Georgia railroads, wanted po-
litical hOnors. He induced GORDON to
swap places with him-BRowS going into
GoRDoN's vacant seat in the senate, and
GORDON stepping into a railroad presidency.
1t is the old story of man taking hold of
something in which he had no experience,
and for which he had no qualification.
While he made some money, the fortune
didn't come to GORDON as rapidly as he
thought it ought to, so he concluded to
take a hand in Wall street specula-
tons. At first he was very success
full, clearing in one week over SEQ, 900.
He was jubilant and said that he was get

was warned by his friends TO be cautious Of

was confident that he would soon be a mill

to hold on to the mules tail, GoRDoN's
finances are not so good looking as they
were, but he has great deal more sense He
is in Washington now bewailing the per-

The Emperor william at Ems.
From the Pail Mall Rudret


Ems is crowded with visitors. For this
Rhenal watering-piace one emperor makes
a summer. The Wilhelm spring is tasted
every morning at ESQ, military time, by its
imperial sponsor, who afterwards drives
ont for an hour, not being able, as
i'm previous years. TO take his accustomed
walk. Ems has always been the favorite
resort of the emperor, but the Empress
Augusta was never partial to it. It's strange
TO find her living at once so far and so near
as at COblentZ. from which, however, she
makes constant excursions 10 spend the aft
eTHoOn with her husband. The visitors as
vet are almost exclusively Germans-very
few English and practically no French.
And yet Ems was once their favOrite resort.
i see by the book of visitors for 1889 that
the Duchess of Orleans. with her son. the
Count of Paris, was among the guests, fol-
lowed by Henri de Bourbon, better known
since as the Comte de ChambOrd; and by
strange coincidence. in that same month Of
July the Countess OF MOntijO arrived from
Madrid with her daughter, afterwards En-
press Eugene. We have no such august
names in the books of the bathing house,
unless the presence OF three prima donnas,
Cruvelli, Lucca and KrauSs, be regarded
from an artistic point of view as compenSa-
ton.

The serpenis' worst Enemy.

grunge county FARMER.
You have no idea of the number Of
snakes annually killed by the moving ma
chine until you talk with different farmers
ON the subject. In former DAYS bits of
snake would be continually falling from
forks full OF newly cured grass, or from
the hay in the stack or NOW during the
winter, when it was being fed. The now
ing machine is peculiarly fatal to them. In
their accredited wisdom, they do not start to
run away until the evidence of danger is
upon them. Then they raise their heads
just high enough to reach above the blades,
when they are decapitated quicker than an
active partisan under civil service nonsense,
ana the change is so sudden that the body
OF the snake doubtless springs high enough

THE SILVER BUGBEAR.

The New York Sun doesn't scare at the
silver bugbear. In a lengthy article on the
subject it shows how nothing has ever come
of the dire prophecies of the advocates of
gold standard, and then asks: ''What
would be the result if the treasury should
pay out SO, 600, 900 or $50, 900. 600 in silver
for interest on the national debt? Simply
this: There would be added $40, 600, 600 or
$40, 900, 900 to the $40, 600, 900 of silver
now in circulation, and it would have about
as much effect upon the relative values of
gold and silver as the pouring of cup of
water into well would have upon its level.
The currency of the country, as estimated
by the comptroller of the currency in his
last report, was made up as follows:
Gold coin and bullion. S5s5, 61I. s7s
Silver coin. Observation-Disclosures. 275, T35. 43g
Legal tender notes. ..-.......... 346, GSl. Ol6
National bank notes. 800, 55g, Sl3
Total. .......-...-..... 81, 54l, 5sS, l4O
''This shows that the 14O, 600, 600 silver
dollars now issued form only about 9 per
cent. of the total circulation, and that the
$40, 600, 900, the paying out of which is so
much dreaded, would add only IL per
cent. to that total. Does anybody in his
senses contend that this trivial increase
would produce a noticeable effect?"
In answer to the assertion that the public
would get frightened and begin to with
draw gold from the treasury and thus create
a monetary shingency, it is enough to say
that if such run for gold should be COM
menced, it would as speedily stop when it
was found that the demand for gold was
met by the offer of legal tenders and of
silver dollars. Capitalists could not organ

THERE is a very grave question whether
the governor had the power to revoke the
commission of Col. BEND, and if he had il
was questionable expedient under the Cir
cumstances. The impression had gone forth
that when Col. BEND appealed TO the SUI
preme court for writ OF prohibition he had
virtually lodged the charges preferred
against him, and TO that extent lost caste in
military circles. But whatever his motive
for doing so, when the supreme court took
jurisdiction of the matter. and issued its writ,
right there the entire matter should have
stopped until the court passed upon the ques-
tons before it. BY his arbitrary act
the governor has given Col. BEND the ad-
vantage in public estimation. II looks as if
the governor was afraid TO trust his case TO
the courts. Besides, the people are always
opposed TO the exercise Of the One-man power
whenever there is any other possible way TO
attain the ends desired. As long as the field
officers of a regiment are elected It is ques-
tionable whether the commander-in-chief is
invested with the power TO revoke commits
sions, though issued boy himself, until a court
martial has passed upon the charges pre-
ferred against the officer.

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

The new irOn-clad local option law
passed by the Georgia legislature is a clear
victory for the prohibitiOnists. Under its
provisions an election is to be held every
two years Oh the license Question-that is,
in counties where license prevails. If a
county votes i'm favor of license another
election can be held in two years, and
still another and another; but when
ever it has voted for prohibition this ends
the matter-there will be no licenses and
no more elections on this point. Every
victory of the liquor interest is no victory
at all, while every victory of the prohibit
tionists is decisive. 1t is expected that
these elections will finally worry and tire
out the liquor men. They will always
have TO be on the defensive and always on the
alert, for single defeat means annihila-
ton. The prohibition movement is making
much more rapid advancement throughout
