When the Secretary (Bayard) told
him that. above all other things. he
must steer clear Of 3 public reception
by the Pcrsians. Judge Hanna. for tho
hundredth time. looked puzzled. and.
for the thousandth timc during tho
week. said to himself: well, rmd-."
The Secretary explained:
Several years ago. when the Persian
Mission was created. q man named
Benjamin of Ohio was sent out to draw
the $500 per year aud to look after the
missionaries. The Persians were de-
lighted over the recognition given them
by the United States Government. To
have a resident Minister was magnifieG
BY them into q high honor. Mir. Ben
iamin was met outside of Teheran aud
conducted into the city with all tho
pomp and Ceremony of . great process
sion. in which there were camels and
elephants and triumphal cars enough
to outfit a o Of modern menageries.
MIR. benjamin was banquetcd and ieted
in grand style. After a time he settled
down to the humdrum routine of hear.
ing missionaries stories. One day .
Persian diplomat walked into the Lega-
ton offices. and with Oriental politeness
presented to the astonished Minister 8
bill for the procession and the enter
tainment given him. The items footed
up over 5000. Poor Mr.. BENJAMIN
received the account, and. with forced
composure. told the diplomat it should
receive attention. He got the Legation
together and asked for advice. Nobody
could respond. Perhaps the unfortun-
ate Minister wept over the bill. Prob.
ably he prayed over il. Undoubtedly
he wished he had never left Ohio. A,
length. in despair. he forwarded to the
State Department the terrible docu.
mcnt Th srO vas more consultation
and liberal abuse Of the Persian idea OF
hospitality The upshot was an appro.
priaiion frJm the contingent fund. tax.
ing the greater part of it TO pay for Mr..
Benjamin's reception. For the rest OF
that year the department was run with
due regard to the fact that this Persian
investment necessitated reduction Of in
cidental expenses to the lowest possible
figures.
The Secretary told Judge Hanna the
whole story. aud. in concluding. said he
trusted that the new Minister would
now appreciate the imperative necessity

Minister Phelps Wen Received.

LONDON, June 4.-The London news
papers are extremely favorable in their
comments on Mr.. Phelps speech. The
Globe says: 'Mr. Phelps possesses lucid
and cultured mind, and is an acquisition
to the highest social and official society
of London. The Standard says: THAT
any possible successor could main
tain Mr.. Lowel's place in English
society seemed hope extravagant to the
verge of grotesqueness, but Mr.. Phelps
has made debut which promises most
happily" The 50, James Gazette says

The company of capitalists and promi-

organized not long since for the purpose
of erecting model tenement houses in the
lower part of that city has about perfected
its plans, and will soon proceed to execute
them. The president is Mr.. Joseph W..
Drexel; Vice President, Oswald Often
dorfer of the iStddts Zeituhg Treasurer,
Jacob Scholle, and Secretary, L. II. A.

be not only to erect model houses in
which the very poor may find comfortable
accommodations, but also to displace, at
the same time, many of the rookeries
which at present disgrace the city, and
the very name of civilization. The enter
prise is not to be, in any sence, a charity.
The stock is expected to pay fair inter.

a DEonrrFU1 HUSBAND.
The Bride Given Back Her Maiden
Name by the Court.


GALENA, ILL.,, June AIN April 1888
Miss Mary Lilly, respectable young
lady, daughter of Peter Lilly of this city
was united in marriage TO John Mcmahon
also of Galena, after an engagement of
upward of three years, the young lady re-
fusing to marry her lover until
he had provided for her home.
The latter having, it is alleged,
assured Miss Lilly that he had complied
with the conditions and was ready to take
his bride to home of her own whenever
the marriage ceremony was performed,
the nuptial event took place with con-
siderable pomp at the Lilly residence.
Immediately the young lady informed the
groom that she was ready TO go ut once
to the home he had prepared for
her, whereupon be coolly stated that
he had resorted TO subterfuge to get
her, and that he had secured no home Of
his own, and that they-himself and his
bride-must go to a clearinghouse.
The newly-made wife, incensed ut the
treatment she had received, refused abso
lutely to live with Mcmahon until he pro
cured home for her us he promised, and
the latter left her within nm hour afterhis
marriage, since which time the pair have
not lived together.
For the purpose of dissolving the mar
riage tie, Miss Mcmahon brought suit il
the circuit court of 10. Davies county
and has just been granted divorce b.
Judge William Brown, the defendant
failing to appear. His honor in deciding
the matter said that the case was one o.
the most remarkable ever brought befor'
him, and that the circumstances werI
such, as testified by the plaintiff, com
bined with the fact that the husband hat
failed to appear, that he could not with
hold divorce from Mrs. Mcmahon witt
the right TO resume her maiden name.

STEVE E1K1Ns TALKS.
Cleveland N Better President Than
Blaine Would Have BEEN.


Two gentlemen, talking politics quite
loudly, sat in New York elevated rail
road car. One was rather slightly built
man, with grey hair, short, stubby, grey
moustache, wearing light grey overcoat
and tall hat with mourning band; name
unknown. The other was Mr.. Stephen
b. Elkins, erstwhile manager of Mr..
Blaine's unlucky campaign.
Mr.: Elkins was known to many of the
business men in the car, and when his
companion asked him: "Well, what do
you think of Cleveland ?n those sitting
near listened with interest to hear the
answer.
81 am compelled to say" said Mr..
Elkins, 'that l think, personally, his
policy is better than would have been
that of the man l spent dollars and time
to elect. Still, hate Democrat"
This somewhat Delphic reply was fol
lowed by the question, "Do you think he
will keep many of our fellows in Office
long ?"
mo" replied Mr.. Elkins. ut would
not be natural, and they will go very
soon.n
Are we going to keep the Irish vote p
Yes, | guess so," said Mr.. ElBins
doubtfully. "But | wish we could gel
along without them. Having them ut al
hurts us with the young and enlightened
voter"
THAT is So" said his companion
"They are patriotic class and love theil
country, and will go only with the party
making the biggest hurrah for Ireland.
''Will we elect our next president ?" hi
asked in the next breath.
Eyes, and Blaine is our man, was Mr.
Elkins' response. 'IIis chances ar,
better to-day for election in 1888 than
they were the day after the convention q
Chicago for success in 1SS4.n

An English ray on Marriages.

A letter from "a Married Woman to
the editor of the London Times, says:
Have You a corner to bestow on griev-
ance of married women? Our complaint
is that our incomes are treated as our
husbands incomes for the purpose of
taxation. Thus, if the united income of
husband and wife be ESQ per annum,
they now lose 20 1Ss. 4d. by income tax;
whereas if the same two persons were not
married they would not be taxed unless
the income of each amounted to ESQ.
Two partners, two brothers, or any other
two persons living together, except hus.
band and wife, are not taxed unless the
income of each amounts to e150. We
should like to have the law altered so that
married couples should not be taxed un
less their joint incomes amounts to $500
This would only be putting them on {
level with bachelors and spinsters. The
tax, MS at present levied, is simply tn,
ON matrimony. Perhaps such tax il
thought desirable by those who have tn,
making of the laws, in order to check
too great indulgence in the luxury. Blu
if intended rs deterrent, would il not b.
more effective if levied under its tru,
name, and should it not be levied OF
those whose incomes are below Gl50, even
more than on those whose incomes ar,
above! 1t is, fear, hopeless, especial,
in the face of II deficit of f15, 100000, t,
expect that we poor women who hav
neither vote nor influence should see til
law altered. Mr.. Childers cannot spar
the items that we contribute at the cos
of many priyations. Our very poverty
which makes the taxation fall SO heayil
on us, prevents us from obtaining re
dress. but if you will kindly give pull
licity to this letter it may do good, as
adds one more argument in favor of MI
Punch's excellent advice to those about t
| marry.

Chicago.


Persons who have not seen Chicago
within the last few years will be amazed
Mt the magnitude of the city if they visit
it now. Some nine years ago, when the
writer visited it for the first time, Chicago
was huge agglomeration of ruins and
shantics buried in mud. The city was
just then recovering from the great fire.
There was not n clean, unencumbered
street to be seen. One or two big snowy
hotels and few business blocks were, to
n stranger, the only indications that he
was not in big plague stricken and half
deserted village, but in n community of
considerable energy and recuperative
powers. To-day Chicago has n population
of nearly three-qunrters of million,
counts so miles of well-paved streets, 60
miles of admirable park and boulevard
drives, several lines of cable street cars,
and a hanson cab service of which no
other city on this continent can show the
like. In the matter of public buildings
and private residences Cbold ms the asser-
tion may scem) Chicago equals, if it does
not surpass, New York. Some of them
are II little too gaudy, Int New York has
nothing similar to Michigan avenue, a
magnificent broad drive of four miles in
n straight line, aud bordercd on both
sides by the hamdsomest private resi-
denccs. In the matter of roadway, New
York cannot show stretch of two miles
as we'll kept MS the 60 miles of mae
adamizcd drives in the Chicago parks and
the avenues and boulevard leading to
| them
