Brides in Washington Hotels.

1DuldHdpOllS JOuFudl.
So great has become the rivalry between
three or four of the leading Wa hngton
hotels in the solicitation for bridal couples
that the most successful of the landlords in
this effort presents each one of the brides
who stop at his hOstelry beautiful
bouquet or basket of cut flowers. The
clerk who receives the couple inquiries of
the bridegroom if he suspects a recent mar
riage-and it is seldom that a mistake is
made-and then the flowers go up to the
apartments engaged.
One of the most lucrative classes for the
landlords at the capital is the newly mar
RED. Beginning with October and endin g
with April, it is estimated that there are in
the city an average all the time of 200 pairs
of brides and grOOms. Mr.. Burch, the
manager of the Ebbitt, where the flowers
are given, and the hotel which entertains
most of them. says he frequently has forty
couples, and averages over twenty-five dur
ing the busy season. They are, he says.
the most desirable class of guests. Always
pleasant. they want the best of everything,
and are given it. This hosiery makes a
feature of pleasing these people, and all
embarrassments are lessened to the mini
mum. Guests there are so used TO seeing
large numbers of brides and grooms that
they are spared the stares so customary
where this class is rare.
1t is said to be the purpose of the great
hotel company organizing here. and which
intends to build a structure at cost of 81.
500, 600. to arrange one floor with bridal
apartments. Washington is sbecom .ng
more and more a favorite place on the we'd

are enough sights to occupy the time for
months. and then the presence of so many
of the new partners lends kind of soiace

st. LOUIS Republican.
Thomas FL. Davis for many years was one
of Barnums foreign agents, and his duties
called him to all parts of the world. Yes
terday Mr.. Davis leaned back in a chair and
in quiet voice inquired: did you ever
hear the story of the big poker game played
between Deafy Gaylord and MYSELF" No
body had, and so Mr.. Davis proceeded to
tell the story:
"WelI, Gaylord and I, who were at that
time in Barnum's employ, were Ell route
from Suez. Egypt. to Bombay, India. We
were passengers on the steamer Rohillia.
Being unacquainted with any of our fellow
passengers, we were at sea as to how to
pass away the time. Finally we hit 1t.
Quietly seating ourselves at table and pro-
ducing a pack of cards we commenced
to play poker. No one noticed us for a
time. but when they heard the betting-'I IL
see your fifty and raise you hundred"-the
passengers, mostly Englishmen, gathered
about the table. / was apparently as cool
as a sherry cobbler In midsummer, and
dealt the cards from the top and bottom so
boldly that some Of the bystanders took
pity on Gaylord. and taking him one side,
gave him pointer. Gaylord let them have
their say, but would not be convinced but
that his partner was "a dead square man.
DO you know him? they queried of
Gaylord.
- Never met him before in my life, was
his reply, and then resuming his seat. pro-
ceeded to be robbed as openly as ever man
was. The game ended by Gaylord being
$40. 900 loser.
"When the other passengers were not
about would return Gaylord his losings.
1.-The following day was eyed suspi-
ciously and Gaylord pitied as the poor vic
tim. We continued to act as strangers, and
casually meeting in front of the table where
we sat the night before, politely bowed. and
with wave of our hands toward the chairs,
took our seats. Again did the stakes run
high. and kept cheating and rakng in the
money. The spectators became excited,
and murmurS of disfavor filled the air.
Ten thousand for a CALL, said Gay
lord.
"'I]l visit YOU was my rejoinder, and.
showing down straight flush, proceeded
to take in the cash.
Then Gaylord was again taken aside
and told how he was being literally robbed
by a sharper.

afford to lose ten thousand or so day just
for the amusement the fellow gives me.

but that's merely bagatelle. I'm looking

Can afford to Remain Single.
Boston Record.


The common talk is among young men
that they cannot afford marriage because
wives are such an expensive luxury, and
altogether such an impeachment that no one
can afford to have one unless he is very
rich. or is willing to remain very poor
This kind of twaddle is so much i'm vogue
that it will probably seem heresy to take
any other view of the case, but bearing in
mind the innumerabie stories of. beating and
mutilation. and even murder, inflicted upon
women by drunken and ugly husbands, it
seems TO be about time to start crusade to
bring about resolve on the part of women
not to get married. They run about twenty
times as much risk in such an operation as
the man does. and if the latter cannot
''afford" to take unto himself wife the
majority of women can well afford Oil their
part to remain single. Within twenty years
we predict that clubs for women, and an
increased independence in earning liveli-
hood, and generally better status for un-
married women will result in serious
diminutiun of the marriage rate. And,
when women are not be got for the asking,
men will be more careful of them. A little
corner in the marriage market would not
be a bad thing.

Cremation byFl csriciry.

Pail Mall Gazette.
A movement has been set on foot in Italy
toward erecting in one of the principal
towns an electrical crematurum. In this
edifce the corpses will b.. instantly con.
sumed by means Of an intense heat caused
by electricity. Various European crema-
ton societies are reported to have dispatched
representatives to Italy to make inquiries as
to the feasibility of the scheme, which it is
expected will, if successful. very soon re-
place the more elaborate methods now
adopted. Partisans of cremation are SAN
gune that the introduction of electricity
would instantly remove the objections held
by many European states against the burn
ing of bodies. Dogs have already been SUBJ
jected to the process by its inventor with
considerable degree of success. Their
bodies forthwith evaporated into nothing
ness, and there was perceptible none Of
that disagreeabe odor of burning flesh
which inhabitants of Woking are said so

IT Is VERY CHEAP.

Of this gas, 1000 cubic feet contains
210, O69, 904 heat units. OF an average
quality of manufacturing coal, 54.4 pounds
contain the same amount of heat units as
the l. 200 cubic feet of gas. If this coal
costs SIS per ton of 1000 pounds, 54.4
pounds would cost abont 14H cents.
From these figures a comparison of the
value of coal and natural gas can be made.
Comparisons of the cost of gas and coal for
fuel made in the natural gas region of
Pennsylvania and West Virgia, where the
coal used is bought for about S1.25 per ton.
are very favorable for gas. Under its use
in steel plant it was found that where it
had formerly taken $50, 900 worth of coal
to produce IL. 900 tons of steel, with gas it
required but $40, 600 for the fuel cost. and
q further saving was made of S12.0 900 i'll
the cost of hauling the ashes and coal. a
close observation demonstrated also that
there was a saving of about % per cent. in
the wear and tear of the furnace in the use
of gas instead of coal fuel. A further fact
was demonstrated in the working of glass
factory, using some 1000 tons of material a
wear, that the saving as against coal with
gas WAS equal to So. 600 year in fuel eX-
penses. In December of 1885. as the result
of one investigation, made by manufac-
turer OF iron from dDOlHef city. as 10 Tue
result at Pittsburg in the use of gas instead
of coal. it was stated that in the output of
nineteen heating furnaces the saving was,
in fuel cost Sc. 81. in moving ashes S2.612.
in repairs 81. $50; and further, that the saw
ing in a heating furnace using gas was in
reduced waste by oxidation in twelve weeks
time. 1900.
But, besides manufacturing, the use of
natural gas for domestic purposes has in the
natural gas region almost entirely done
AWAY with both wood and coal as a fuel.
The way it is employed is by introducing
into stoves. and its heating power is enor-
mons. An idea of the convenience of nat
nral gas for fuel can be obtained from the
following extract from letter written by a
lady brought up in smoky city. After
being away several years and revisitine
home, she writes:
Rut no smoke, no SCOT. Natural gas has

after he found himself face to face with the

and shook him warmly by the hand. At
