DEMOCRATS WANT NO EXTRA SEES
CInM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-The sub-com-
mittess of the house committee on appro-
priations will hold numerous meetings
during the recess. Their purpose is TO
have ready for presentation to the house,
Immediately after reassembling, two or
three Of the largest appropriation bills,
and to follow these with the remainder OF
the bills in rapid succession. The leaders
of the appropriation committee, and OF
the house generally, don't intend
to permit business to fall
into arrears so that SO far as
the appropriation bills are concerned there
will not be any excuse for an extra session.
The attitude of the house in this respect IS
in marked contrast TO the position which
it occupied during the last session. Then
appropriation bills were delayed TO later
period than in any previous congress
Now they are well advanced. The Demo
Gratis generally are opposed to any extra
session. They think it would be of party.
advantage to prevent the calling OF
an extra session if possible, not
withstanding the tradition has been
that a called session has always been
a disadvantage to the administration which
was responsible for it. But the fact having
been developed that the Republicans viii
have an undoubted majority in the next
house, the Democrats do not desire to give
them an opportunsty for increasing that
majority by changes in the rnles, or by
action On election cases at an early Gay, SO
that they will secure the increased power
of the necessary additional numerical
strength to carry their point as TO the ad-
mission of new states.

MARRIAGE in ,TaOan,

When Yum Yum has arrived at the age of
Is or 10 her parents instruct one Of their
friends or a professional matchmaker to
look about for a good husband for her.
If they have decided upon the young
man, they mention his name and it is
the duty OF the friend to speak to
tie parents of the prospective bridegroom
and arrange the matter. This go between is
called Nakadachip. He appears in every
japanese marriage, and it would be entirely
improper for either the bridegroom or the
parents to arrange match without him.
He has charge OF everything relating to the
marriage. He brings the young people to-
gether, generally at tea house where both
families meet to have a party for the occa-
sion, and it is at this meeting that the two
often see each other for the first time If, as
in the case Of 1.-THE Mikado," Yum Yum falls
in love at first sight with her Nanki Poo, it is
all right. The two giggle and laugh and ex-
amino each other, and a few days later, the
match being agreed upon, presents pass be-
tween the two parties, and the acceptance Of
these presents is understood as an agreement
that the marriage is to take place. The
presents consist of five tubs OF sake or rice
wine, of five articles of food, Two rolls of
SILK anu d sAiAeu SlIuIe AHiS Is. OF course,
among the better classes. Tie lower and
poorer send less amount and poorer
quality.
The ceremony proper is made up Of the
drinking of sake and the eating Of dinner
together in the presence Of the two families
The bride comes to the groom's house TO be
married, and she brings along presents for
him and her prospective parents-in-iaw. She
appears upon the scene in dress Of white,
which, however, she changes before the cere-
mony for one Of colors, which is present 10
her from the groom The groom also gets
present of a gown from her and puts this on.
At the drinking Of the wine the bride gets
the first cup, and there is almost incesSant
drinking throughout the ceremony. After
marriage the bride or the vie is swallowed
up, as it were. in the family Of her husband.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 24.-Ex-Sena-

ard dozen or more Democratic office

aight to spend the holidays. Speaking of

Even if Mr.. Dudley flooded the state

set for Indiana Democrats by Dud-

the view of having 1t reacn
as many Democrats as possible; that no

that only one letter was written and that
one sent where it would certainly fail into

Dudley's intention 10 divert attention from
New York by that letter and cause the
Democrats to concentrate all their funds

thereby enabling the Republicans 10 carry
New York, which they did, and that letter
was no Gnimportant factor in such result
that no such letter was ever sent TO or

BERLIN STUDENT LIFE.

How the Young Fellows Spend Most OF
Their Leisure Hours.
sStudent life in Berlin" said young st.
Louisan in conversation with Republic
representative, 'appears to be especially
fascinating to Americans, and not one of US
who has experienced its pleasures but cher
ishes the fondest recollections of it. The way
in which young Germans and Americans
fraternize is wonderful, and, although the
sets divide up into cliques of about dozen
congenial spirits, you will often find them
consisting Of an equal representation OF the
two nationalities Students generally
live in about the same quarter of
Berlin and have a social life Of their own.
The course of study is very hard, yet they
find plenty of time for pleasure, and their
gatherings in tie beer cellars are frequent
and always uproarious. 1t is marvel
Gus what an education one gets in the
art of drinking beer, ard how much Of it is
gotten away with at those bouts, in which 1T
is d favorite occupation Of medical students
to indulge. | remember one battle as it
was called, when two opposing forces of six
students each drank against one another for
five successive afternoons and nights, and
finally had to decide the struggle a draw, as
the heads Of both sides were too strong to
succumb entirely to the effects of Berlin beer.
OF course we felt the beer and were somewhat
noisy, especially in the matter of an alterca-
ton with several cabmen On the fifth night,
which was interrupted by the police. They
didn't arrest US but knowing we were stu
dents, took our cards and requested us to re-
port before the proper authorities next morn
ing. which we did, and were duly fined for
the street disturbance That struck me
as peculiarly polite conduct for police
men; leaving US On our honor, as it
were, and showed a confidence in
student human nature which was de-
cidedly fattering. But police espionage is
really very strict, and the Berlin authorities
demand the passport OF every student when
he first comes there, with slight sketch Of
his life for some time past, how long he in
tends pursuing his studies and where
and with whom he is boarding, this
latter fact being generally furnished them
by the people from whom they have engaged
rooms. After that they keep complete
record of your movements, and when you
have completed your course could give you a
history Of your life that would surprise you.
The most noticeable feature of life on the
streets is the immense number of soldiers.
Berlin is an armed camp, and officers and
men off duty are crowding the pavelnents at
all hours. 1t lends a wonderful life and
spirit to the city, but the military are very
irsolent They seem to realize that they are
the backbone and mainstay Of Germany, and
