THE PRESIDENTS MARRIAGE.
Its Great Influence Upon His Chances IL
Politics.

From the New Haven Evening Register.
The marriage OF the President is not only q
source OF great satisfaction to his fellow coun-
trymen everywhere, but it is also a source of
political strength to him. Cleveland is stronger
to-day, the day after his wedding, with the peo-
pie than he has ever been. They are thoroughly
interested in him. Their eyes are riveted on
character. He presents a striking picture, and
by doing the most natural as well as the most
beneficial thing he could do, he has attracted
to himself a sentiment which will work silently
but fOrctbly in his political favor.
There Is nothing the American people are not
capable OF, nor is there limit to their cons1de-
ration when sentimental idea gets the upper
hand OF them. The marriage of the President
and Miss Folsom has aroused most interest
ing sentiment, which will grow stronger as
OF character, and because both she and her hus-
band lend a charming novelty to Washington
society by reason OF their recent entrance into
forth the best wishes OF every man, woman and
child In the country, and have thereby become
popular with them. There is no reason TO believe,
moreover, owing to the circumstances which
surround them, that they will lose any of that
popularity. They will remain interesting nov

band. He will 60 on In the straight course he
has so consistently followed since his inaugura-
day under the devoted care and softening in

The Aqueduct Bridge Tolls.

VIM AhEi BE REDUCED.
To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
The title to the Alexandria aqueduct ia com.
plicated. The northern pier and abutment is
claimed by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal but
can be had by condemnation.
The Alexandria Canal company leased to the
Bridge company tor ninety-nine years their
canal and aqueduct for the nominal sum of
81 900 per year, conditioned that the Bridge
company should keep the aqueduct and Alex
andria canal in navigable order. To make a fee
simple deed requires the assent of the Bridge
company and the Alexandria Canal COMPANY
Alexandria Is opposed to any sale that would
deprive her of their canal although boats can
be towed cheaper by river to their city than
they can go by canal. Alexandria has a natural
Virginia pride, aDC does not wish to surrender
the possible benefits of a canal
With the failure of a former free bridge bill II
is not surprising that the pubic should have
doubts about the effectiveness of the present
bill. AS the tolls on this bridge are double
that reduction to a fair price should
be made until tolls are no longer levied
We have had to wait eighteen years for
a fair rate and now claim a simple act of ius-
tice should be done to an outraged people. Mr..
w. W. DUNCAN has persistentiy refused to re-
duce the tolls though repeatedly requested to
do so. Had the tolls been moderate the reyc-
nue. from them might have been as great or
greater, as cheap postage and our cheap street
fares have proved from the increased use.
and the Virginia hills opposite West Washing,
ton, would have been dotted with cot
tages, which are now forced to the railroad
gan claims that new schedule of tolls has
been in operation since 1882. Upon fnuuirv IL
will be found that thirty round trip tickets for
a one-horse vehicle are sold tor SO, or 20 per
cent less than single rOund-trip, which costs 25
cents; single and round trips remain the same
tolls as formerly. The railroads from Wash
ington TO Baltimore give quarter yearly
per day. The round trip ticket being So, this is
IL reduction of 81 per cent for riding in first
class cars, or 3S cents for q ride of so miles
against 70 cents for a drive with a one-horse
vehicle going and returning of less than mile
A discriminating public will see the great
dlference and require an immediate reduction
o. tolls. w. II. TENNEY.

Too much cannot be said against the cruelty
of forcing children's feet into short and narrow.
tOed shoes. man in q large and fashionable
shoe store said that he sometimes used all his
strength, that of a welldeveloped man, to force
large feet into small shoes, Tor grown folks. but
when he was requested by mothers to put shoes
too small on children he objected. Many chill
dren, before they are 10 years DID, have incipient
cOrns, buniOnS and callOuses, caused by the fool
ish pride or carelessness on the part of the
mothers Many do not know that IL q child q
foot is allowed to develop naturally, that when
fully developed 1t can wear with ease a much
forced out OF shape while growing SO last. The
foot is one OF the parts of the body that COM
pletes its growth early. The size OF the feet of a
growing boy are sometimes noticeably large:
when the rest OF his body has finished its growth
the feet are prOpOrtiOnate. Ii growing loot is
crowded into short shoes the toes are pushed
back and become thick at the ends. They are
pressed up against the top Of the shoe and corps
are made They are enlarged at the great and
little toe Joints, causing bunions which are
more painful than corns. Marrow toed shoes
cause tapping of the toes, callouses and corns
especially on the side of the large toe and under
the widest part Of the foot; in-growing toe-nails
are also produced. COrns cannot be cured SO
long as pressure is on them: This must first be
removed. A man who suffered terribly with
cOrns said he would do anything to cure them.
His friend said: "You are going up into the
mountains; 60 barefooted this summer" He
did 50, and his feet were entirely cured
Another cut the tops Of the shoes away, leaving
the soles and the leather back OF the toe joints
and toes.

Tomorrow To BE Given Up to the Little
Ones in Many of the Churches.

To-morrow In the day set apart by many OF
the Evangelical churches as one to be devoted
especially to the children in the Sunday schools,
and 1T will be observed as "Children's day"
especially In the Methodist Episcopal churches
throughout the land. Formerly it was the Gus
tom OF the Sunday schools of the District, under
the auspices of the Sunday school Union, to
nave procession in the month of May, closing
with mass meeting. The boys used to appear
in white pants and black jackets, and the girls
In white dresses carrying banners and flowers
Ihls custom died out about fifteen years ago. In
place OF this the "Children's day. has grown to
De quite feature, and IL is probable that the
niue ones enjoy 1T much more than they would
march through the streets in procession. Some
OF Inc churches here will have original pro-
grains grams. prepared for the occasion, pro,
v1ding exercises in which the Sunday school
pupils will participate, while others will
follow the programs prepared by some of
the publishing houses: la many instances
some churches the services will take up the EN-
TIRE day, platform meetings closing the exer-
ciseS.
Inc programs prepared for this observance
usually embrace solos, duets, choruses respOn-
siVe readings, dialogues and Rotations, i'm
which notices will he displayed. In some Of
the dialogues the pupils personate flowers.
me origin OF the general observance of the
DAY In the NJ f. church was in 1865, when I'M
,Chllcren's Educational Fund was created,
The money to be used in "aiding meritOrious
sunday school scholars in obtaining more ad-
vance education,' and 100000 was raised.
IhlS plan was further developed in 1872,
when the second Sunday in June was appointed
as "Chlldrens day" and it was recommended
mat whenever practicable collection should
DE raised in aid OF the Sunday school fund of
the board OF education. This custom has been
generally adopted by the NJ. +. churches
throughout the land, and other denominations
have followed. The collections for educational
purposes have increased until they aggregate
now hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the
Congregational churches the collections are for

The Law Of Club Rights.


Mr.. Joseph +. Loubat has gained his suis
against the Union Club. The general term Of
the supreme court has decided that the plain
tiffwas not legally expelled and hence Restraints
the club from enforcing the resolution OF ex-
pulsion. The decision does not deny the right
OF a social club Of gentlemen TO get rid OF per.
son with whom they DO not desire TO associate.
But the constitution and bylaws vi such an
association have the force of laws aud every
member who joins, because he is protected by
them, is entitled TO demand that they shall be
observed in all matters In which his Interests
are involved. The Union Clubs constitution
and bylaws provide that no member shall be
expelled without u trial and An opportunity TO
be heard and not then without q two-thirds
vote of the governing committee. MIR. Loubat
was expelled without trial and not by q two
thirds vote OF the whole committee. Hence The
decision In his favor.
