MATRIMONIAL VICTIMS.
Designing Scoundrels Who Flourish BY
Deceiving Credulous Girls.

Deceiving Credulous Girls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote:
1--WE are not very much to blame for
our marriages. We live amid halluci-
nations" There is a great deal of
wisdom in the Concord seer's re-
mark. Men and women are so easily
deceived that scoundrels flourish readi-
ly on matrimonial spoils. Hardly a
day passes that the news does not con-
tain details of the late success of some
heartless fortune-hunter and women
ensnarer. One of the saddest stories
recently related is that of a fair young
German girl, a protegee of the famous
painter OF Bavaria, Paul Weber. The
other Sunday she reached this port on
German steamer. A few days later
she was married to one Hauersmith,
whom she met ia trGHSttu, and who
claimed to be wealthy wine-grower
of California. To-day, deserted and
robbed, she mourns in Philadelphia her
rash haste in seeking matrimonial ties.
The recent tragedy at the Sturtevant
House is still more striking illustra-
ton of the dangers attending an ILL
advised marriage. In both the cases
cited the men concerned represented
themselves as financially well-estab-
lished. In one case robbery. in the
other murder and suicide resulted from
their falsehoods. A wealthy Chicago
girl eloped few days ago with her
hair-dresser. She, too, was deserted
in Philadelphia to find her way home
again as best she might.
The countless women whose stories
are but variations of the theme touched
upon above are not so much to blame
as may at first sight appear. 1--WE live
amid Authorizations" Marriage seems
to young girl an enchanted land.
where love and loyalty shall be hers
| forever. Alas, how often is the fair
dream destroyed by the bitter irony of
sad experience! Year after year it be-
comes more easy for scoundrels to play
their matrimonial games. The num-
| Der of men of character and wealth
who pass through life without mar
riage ties grows larger as time goes on.
Luxury and affiuence have always
been detrimental to the formation of
the domestic relationship. Rome illus
trated this and several European coun-
tries to-day still further prove the
proposition. In this country there has
been a steady tendency towards celiba-
cy among men of stability and worth.
Is it strange, then, when opportunities
for successful marriages are compare
tiVelyso scarce, that credulous girls give
ready ear to the smooth tlatterers who
wear pretty whiskers and who tell of
their palaces on Lake Como, of the
alabaster lamps, the slaves and horses
and the regal luxury? A large per-
centage of unfortunate marriages
might be prevented if parents exer-
cised the care they should.
Beware of the man, dear, confding
girls, who talks too much of his
wealth, whose vineyards are in some
| distant corner of the earth, who smiles
and smiles and is stranger still. The
wisdom of old age should not be de-
ceived even where the heat of youth is
blind. To paraphrase Tennyson a lit
tie Parents, guard your own. N

A Brave Newspaper Man.

A Boston newspaper man named
McNally, although only twenty-one
years old, has rescued from death by
drowning between thirty-fve and forty
persons, some of them under circum-
stances of the utmost danger and diff

Massachusetts Humane Society a very
handsome medal. Mr.. McNally began
his career as a rescuer at the age of
seven years, and has been an expert

and from the number of hours he

LONDON, July 2.-On the eve OF the graf
electoral struggle the Conservatives aad
the Unionists are distinctly the most C IN.

yesterday by the seats being uncontested

Inter State Board of Arbitration is not
huge success. Harmony is not a
f-ature of the body, and it exerts very
little influence upon and no control
over matters on account OF which it
was established" This is certainly
important, if true" Possibly the wish
was farther TO the thought. At any
rate, the fact that, within the past week, /,
the operators have inaugurated an at |

for this purpose was held at Akron, as !
