A Matrimonial Romance.

There is a bit of romance that is
not generally known in regard to
the marriage of four of ex-President
Arthur's sisters. Nearly a genera
ton ago, the father of the family, the
Rev. William Arthur, was the pastor
of a Baptist church in Newtonville,
a little hamlet about five miles from
Albany. The pastor had four grown
daughters. One Sunday afternoon
four young men, who either resided
in Albany or had business connec-
tions in the city, were together, and
one of them said: "Let us 60 over
to Newtonville and see the daughters
of the Rev. Mr.. Arthur" The young
men went and, perhapsas the result
of that Sunday afternoons visit, they
secured in later years the four young
ladies as their respective wives. The
names of the Misses Arthur thus be-
came Mrs. R. M. Cav, Mrs. James
HI. Masten, Mrs. Henry J. Hoyns-
worth and Mrs. John E. McElroy-
the latter being the lady who presid-
ed over the White House during the
administration of her distinguished
brother. The late eX-President has
an unmarried sister, Anna E. Arthur;
a brother, Major William Arthur, of
the United States Army, and two
children, Ellen Lewis Arthur and
Chester Allan Arthur.

The fame and good done by the S.

limited space that we have, but suf-
fering humanity has blessed the man
that has given to them the means
whereby their sufferings could be al
leviated. OF all the patentmedicines
that have been offered to the public,
none has ever received the substan-
tial endorsement that this great med
icine has. There is hardly drug
store in the United States that does
not keep this great alleviator on its
shelves. The first cause of the sue
cess of S. S. S. is its merits. For blood
poison it is remedy that never fails.

AN ABUSE TO BE CORRECTED.
United States Marshais Drawing Fees
to which They Are Not Entitled.


to Which They Are Not Entitled.
The amendment offered in the House to
the sundry civil service in regard to fees OF
United States marshals and clerks Of courts
is likely to stir up some opposition to the
bill In the Senate, and will in any event stir
up United States marshals and clerks. The
amendment, however, seems likely to cor
rect an abuse that has grown into custom
in all the courts of the United States, and
II all that is claimed is true 1t will result in
a substantial reduction OF fees and mileage
of maIshals. Whenever an indictment is
presented against q person who has been
arrested, 1t has been the custom for the
marshal OF the court to slip into the clerks
office and secure a bench warrant for the
indicted party and place him under arrest.
Fees and mileage are then charged upon
this warrant, although the person indicted
is already In court. The matter was first
brought TO the attention OF Judge jackson,
OF the United States circuit court, at Gin
cinnati. Although the party was sitting
then In one of the rooms the marshal had
secured bench warrant for his arrest upon
which mileage for sixty miles had been
charged.
The amendment provides that no part OF
the appropriation shall be used to pay the
fees OF United States marshals or clerks
upon any writ or bench warrant for the
arrest OF any person In such cases, nor
shall any part of the money appropriated
be used In payment Of per diem compen.
sation to any clerk or marshal for at
tendance In court except for days when
business is actually transacted In court
which fact shall be certified In the approval
OF their accounts.

BOATING ON THE POTOMAC.

Tho CoIumbias Not to Contest the
sharpIess Cup The Coming Re-
Ralta.
Washington Special to Philadelphia Times.l
To the extreme regret of the large boat
ing contingent, which takes pardonable
pride and pleasure in the achievements OF
the Columbias, as being the representative
club Of the District IN contests rowed on
other waters, the Blues have finally decided
not to participate in the coming race for
the sharpless cup, at Philadelphia, on the
10Th instant The reason assigned for the
failure Of the club TO enter an eight in this
important event is that at present the men
who are usually relied upon to carry the
Columbia colors to vlctory-a small num-
Der, upon whose shoulders has always fallen
the responsibility Of making a good show
ing for WashingtOn-are SO occupied that
IL would be impossible for them to devote
the necessary time to the severe training
absolutely indispensable TO nc them for the
contest within the remaining ten days.
Boating, owing to tho counter attraction
Of base bail, has langulshed thus far, though
there is decided "boom" gathering, In
prospect OF the annual Potomac regatta,
an event which always attracts much at.
tention, and is usually participated In by
large number OF crews from abroad. 1t
is greatly TO be regretted that the Blues do
not feel justified In sending over such a
crew as can be boated, for the Sharpless
trophy should certainly come to Washing
ton this year. The Columbia won 1t hand
somely two seasons since, and only lost 1t
last year after game race. The contest
ing crew was afterward strengthened materi-
ally, and captured the banner at the na.
tional regatta, thus winning the amateur
championship Of the Uuited States, which
they now hold.
A crew almost identical with the eight
victorious at Boston last year left the float
or the Columbia house one evening re-
Gently. The ravages OF the long months Of
idleness was apparent both In form and
speed. The rowing was ragged and un
even-by no means such work as the ma
chiue-like pulling of last season. Hardly
man is In condition, but a couple OF weeks
work will remedy this difficulty.
As to the Potomac regatta, the manage
ment Of the event will probably devolv,
upon the Analostan and Potomac Clubs
the Columbias preferring to leave the ar
rangements for this affair in the hands o
the other local organizations. The Blue
will, however, extend hearty welcome Il
all visiting crews, and keep "open house,
as usual. The principal events to be con
tested will embrace races In eights anC
senior fours, as well as the usual -four
cared gig race, in which the Philadelphl
gig crew have acquitted themselves s
creditably in past seasons. The local oars
men hope to meet this crew az ain, and tn
Columbia eight are desirous OF measuring
oars with the Maltas and Fairmounts fror
the City of Brotherly Love.
