WAR ON MOTHER HUBBARDs.
Ladies' OF Burlington, n. j Can Wear the
Dress Under Cert ain r. Restrictions.

Dress Under Certain r. Restrictions.
From, the Ne1e Yoyk sun.
BURLINGTON, n. j., April 24.-This town IS
all agog on the question of Mother Hub
bard" costumes. The fuss was started by
something that happened on Friday evening
last. Miss Ella Hammel, well known belle,
appeared at Broad and High street in a Moth
er Hubbard dress. As she walked down HI Oh
street she heard ashcut, and saw dozen men
benlnd her. She FASTENED on, but mob illed
Hlgh street, uttering insulting epthets. Some
missiles were thrown. and. almost beside her
self with terror, Miss Hammel hurried into
drug store. Capt. Hays, the Chief of Police,
was sent for, and escorted Miss Hammel to
her home.
The crowd yelled awhile outside the Ham
mel mansion. but was finally dispersed bv the
police 1t i understood that Col. John Ham
mel VIII take legal proceedings against the
men who started the hue and cry after his
daughter, and the arrest % those most
prominent in the affair is expected to-mor-
row.
Yesterday morning Mayor Gilpath forbade
the wearing of "MOther Hubbards'' on the
streets of Burlington except under certain
restrictions. Young ladies will hereafter be
allowed to wear them as loosely as they p, ease
while seated on the steps of their own resi-
0ences or on their own grounds. They will
also be allowed to wear them under the sane
tlon OF the law in the <treets if the dresses are
Delted, but not otherwise, IL the girls are
alone. If they have escorts they can wear
mother Hubbarus" as much in the flowing
DOudolr fashion as they choose. in any part of
the town. both in the day and the evening
THESE regulations. 1t is explained, are simply
Tor the sake OF protecting the girls of Bur-
lington from the wrath of the populace and
are not intended especially as rejecting upon
the dress itself. Mis- Hammel who was very
much excited by her narrow escape from the
Growers wrath, is lying quite ill with nervous

MISS FOLSOM AT MEDINA.
The school, Girl Days of the PresIdent's
Future Bride.
From the NeqO York World i.


MEDINA, N. Y, April 24.-Miss frankie
Folsom, who is to marry President Cleveland,
was for number of years after the death Of
her father IN 1875 resident Of Medina, and
good share of her preparatory education was
obtained at the Medina high school. Mrs.
Folsom's mother, Mrs. Harmon, lived here Tor
many years with her two sons, Homer and
Milton, Frankie's uncles, who operated large
mill at Shelby. which was destroyed by fire.
After this Milton connected himself with the
George I. Smith Flour Machine Company. of
Grand Rapids, ana Is now very wealthy. Ho-
mer is in business in Boston. When Frankie
place. and after the sudden death of her father
she came here with her mother, and for some
years they resided with the Harmon family.
At that tender age she was a beautiful girl,
with large. expressive eyes. a dazzling com :
plexion, and a graceful and self possessed
bearing. She at once became belle or the
Younger society of town. and her beauty won
for her many admirers. Miss Folsom had
many young lady friends although she was
very discriminating IN the selection of her in
Inmates, aud had few confldants. At school,
although she was not particularly brilliant in
any one branch, her standing was always
among the best, and she seemed to possess the
faculty Of retaining everything which she
eral information.
After Grover Cleveland had Strengthened
out the affairs OF her father, which Oscar
Folsom left in a very tangled condition, Miss
frankie and her mother returned to Buffalo.
She still corresponds with a number of the
young ladies who were the intimates of her
girlhood days,

The Bogus Butter Question.

Congress is about to have a tussel with
the bogus butter makers. A bill has
been introduced into the House to pro-
tect farmers and dairymen against the
makers of the compounds known as but
terlne and oleomargarine. The bogus
butter makers, many of whom, it is al
legged, have accumulated large fortunes in
making out of nasty fats, stuff which
is imposed upon the public as butter, pro-
pose to spend some of their accumula-
tons in defeating legislation in the in
terest Of the genuine butter makers.
There is no objection TO the manutac-
ture of bogus butter, nor to the selling of
it, provided it is sold for Just what it is,
but there are very decided objections to
having it palmed off on the public as the
genuine article. The bogus batter peo-
pie, however, don't want to be forced to
tell the truth about the stuff they manu-
facture, because they know that they
could not sell it. Consumers wouldn't
buy oleomargarine anywhere near to the
extent they now do if they knew what
they were buying. The deceit is the
thing that is objected to, and to prevent
deceit Is what Congress is asked to do.
The makers of bogus butter say that
they use only the cleanest of fats, and
that they are always willing to throw
their factories open to the public. That
sort OF talk is, OF course, meant to de-
ceive Those who pretend to know about
the materials used in the manufacture Of
bogus butter tell tales that are calculated
to make the strongest stomach revolt at
the stuff.
The Southern towns and cities are
deeply interested in this matter, because
their supply Of butter largely comes from
the North, and it. would not be surprising
If great deal OF it were bogus. 1t is
pretty certain that Southern people who
can afford to buy butter would not admit,
knowingly. oleomargarIne or butterine to
their tables.
1t is alleged that bogus butter is dele
ferrous to health, and, doubtless, the
allegation is well founded. If 1t were as
harmless as butter, and as desirable in
other respects, the manufacturers OF it
and dealers in it would not be so anxious
TO hide its true character. They would
sell il for lust what IL is.

The Little Girl OF Gettysburg.4


Mary TvrreU IN Nay Wide Aa0ake.

Around the guarded hosts,

With eyes and tresses wild,
Close TO the lines had strayed, and met him

And tightly TO her breast
A heavy load she prest-
A musket-all her slender strength could

Tell me. how come you here
Upon the field, before the fight is done"
Then at her lisped reply.
Tears dlmmed the Generals eve;

SCANDAL IN WASHINGTON.
Government Oficer Accused OF Being
Too Intimate with Another Mans
VVtfa

ZOO Intimate WIN Another mans
Wife.
From the Washington Critic.
The air Is full Of gossip about an officer Of
the government and a woman and the
Woman's husband. The woman is young and
nearly white, and the wife of an employee in
one Of the departments. The man and wife
have several times had trouble and have sep
arated once or twice before, the final separa-
ton week ago. The cause OF the final sepa-
ration is said TO be the government officer
referred to. The husband became satisfied
tnat the relations of his wife with the officer
were improper. The wife has received pres
attentions from the officer, and has been seen
with him on number Of occasions.
Inc husband, who exhibits the letters. has
written TO the President and to the officer
about the affair. In his letter to the Pres-
uent the man who thinks he is aggrieved
makes direct charges against the officer. and
asks that they NAV be looked into, and upon
proof. which he offers 10 furnish, that the
cause OF MS grief be dismisset from the pub
Die service. The friends of the officer, on the
other hand, deny that he has been party to
TINS or any other alleged intrigue. They say
that the whole business is a hig blackmailing
scheme, and that not only the husband but
ca crime. IT Is stated that the officer has
run down the alleged blackmailers. and that
they viii hear from him IN no gentle or un-
mlstakable manner. The whole subject has,
II 10 said, been officially taken up, and an in
Vestlgatlon IS now pending. The husband,
VINO makes the charge, is still in the employ
of the government, although il Is understood
that the officer has asked for his discharge.
In the meantime there is a great deal of talk
about it all.

Gen. Rosecrans' Confirmation.

AaNhs AAboNNAaAh
Gen. Rosecrans is having a rather
troublesome time to get confirmed. He
has the Office Of Register of the Treasury,
very comfortable place which pays
$4,000 year, ana to which little or no
work is attached.
The Republican Senators first objected
TO confirming him because of the numer-
Gus attacks which he has made on Gen.
Grants reputation as a soldier aud now,
It is alleged, the Democratic Senators do
not feel kindly towards him because OF
his rather remarkable conduct in connec-
tion with an ex-Conlederate soldier who
secured a place in the Registers Office.
II was stated in a leading Democratic
paper OF Washington that he refused To
permit avery worthy man from Virginia
10 remain on duty in his Office for no other
reason than that the man had been in the
Confederate army.
Gen. Rosecrsns has been accused on
more than one occasion OF displaying a
very narrow spirit, and II he should not
be confirmed he would have only himself
70 blame. People who make IL business
10 ind fault with everything and every
body, and who begrudge the deserved
praise that is bestowed upon others, can
not reasonably expect 10 meet with
prompt affirmative response when they
become applicants for favors.
Gen. Rosecrans has some very good
qualities, but they are so covered up with
faults that they have failed TO provide
him with friends atthe very time he needs
friends the most.
