An Amiahle Bride.
Erona the Chtcaqo MaM.

1t was case of December and May Deem
Der was outrageously rich; May was endowed
with beauty and temper-especially temper.
They started on their honeymoon under the
most suspicious circumstances. The day was
lovely, the bride was fair and the presents
had been many; and, as the reporters put it,
''al the best people of both cities were at the
wedding.
Two hours later behold them in Pullman
palace car. She is seated and he is just settling
down.
Charlie, y she was saying, Il must have the
window up
mo, my dear: shall catch cold"
We'll, my darling, ! shall strange if don't
get that window up. Put it up, l say"
My dear, l shall do nothing of the kind; !
want the window down"
Charlie, if you don't raise that window
somebody else can. shall call porter"
Well they had such running fights over that
window that as soon as they reached Niagara
Falls the bride was so mad that she announced
her intention of going home on the next train.
And she did go home.
AS soon as she reached home she sent for the
family lawyer and instructed him to apply for
a divorce for her at once. To show how thor
oughly in earnest she was she opened vein in
her arm, and, dipping the pen in the blood
which only few days before had pulsed in tune
with her beloved Charles heart, signed the pa
per which was to make her once more free.
1t is a remarkable commentary upon the
Pennsylvania divorce laws that this amiable
young woman succeeded in her suit

Queen Victoria at San. Reno.


thoroughly well informed correspondent at
San Reno writes to me that the Queen is going
there for short time either before or after her
visit to Florence. A variety of preparations
have been going forward at the Villa Evelina,
both in the house and in the grounds, in antici
patton of the Queens visit. My friend was
allowed to see the villa last week, and was
shown the sitting room which, he was told, is to
be occupied by the Queen herself-a large sa-
loon. with Persian carpet, and furnished in
ebony and goId-which opens by immense
windows to a wide colonnaded portico from
which there is one of the finest views, both of
sea and land, which can be found on the Riviera.
spacious bedroom above this saloon has also
been reserved for the Queens own use, and it
opens on covered terrace. The Villa Evelina,
which was built few years ago by the Baroness
Lowenstein, is rather glaring edifice of pure
white, with terrace, broad steps and colonnade
of marble 1t stands high up on the west hill
with terraces of olive groves all round. The
beautiful woods and valleys behind San Reno
are easily accessible from this quarter. There
is only one villa near, and the grounds, which
are extensive, well shaded, and remarkable for
q charming English lawn, are not overlooked
There is large chalet in the garden, which will
accommodate servants and some of the suite
The air is very pure and invigorating in this
part of San Reno. The Queens courier, Herr
Kanne, was at San Reno the other day, and he
visited the villa but why so much mystery is
made about the matter it is not easy for plain
people tOunderStand.

Mr. Corcoran's Business Habits.

Washington Correspondent Ne1C York World
Mr. Hyde tells me that Mr. Corcoran's last
business act was the signing real estate trans
fer about ten days ago. He says his mind was
perfectly clear up to within a few days of his
death, and that his business faculties were never
more acute He had,' said he, "a wonderful
mind and very quick perceptive faculties. He
decided instantly on any matter which came
before him, and though he sometimes made
mistakes. he seldom doubted his Judgment at
the time. He had not good business habits as
regarded the care of his own books. He kept
the.books of others all right, but not his own. "
here looked at some of Mr.. Hyde's methods
and they were interesting showing how
scrap of business paper is allowed to 60 to
waste, and all of Mr. Corcoran's checks and re =
ceipts for years back have been numbered. His
private secretary gave receipt while l was
present, and l noted that its number was in the
twenty-seven thousands. l was shown check
books than ran up in their numbers to over
25 900. and Mr. Corcoran, after he had used up
one check book, did not begin a new number
with the new books but went on until the num-
berS have now reached the tens of thousands
These receipts and checks are carefully labelled
in packages of a hundred and laid away in such
a manner that they can be referred to in an in
slant. 1t is the same with the other boOzs-all
are thoroughly systematized. Mr.. Corcoran rot
long ago came into his Office here and said: II
want very much to know whom | ordered some
wine of in France about five years ago" His
private secretary, with this indefinite request
at once turned to his book labelled Wine, ran
down few pages and came to the date and
found the purchase, 1t was the same with
other matters. and Mr.. Corcoran had in this
way perfect business diary kept for him.

The Tariff Bill.

The tariff bill which has been submitted
to the Ways and Means Committee by the
Democratic members of'that committee, is
much more conservative than it was sup
posed it would be. 1t will doubtless have
many changes made in it before it is re-
ported to the House. The members of the
committee who framed it say they want to
hear suggestions, and that they are not dis
posed to adhere strictly to its present pro-
visions, particularly if good reasons are
presented for changing any of them.
The reduction in the sugar tariff will, of
course, meet with considerable opposition,
but the opposition of the sugar planters will
not be as great probably as that Of the re
tiners because the reduction is much heavier
on the higher than the lower grades The
reduction on the rice tariff is quite a large
one--larger than it should be in view of the
reduction on some articles that would not
be noticeably affected by a much heavier
reduction. The reduction on steel rails, for
instance, is from ST. ton to $11, but that
reduction will not affect the price of steel
rails in the least. The present price
in this country is $31 80 a ton.
The price in England is S24. The
freight and other charges in bringing steel
rails to this country is about 81 making
the cost here, without the duty, S2S ton.
With the present duty added the cost is
S45. American manufacturers, therefore,
have chance to make $l3 80 ton above d
legitimate profit, and they sometimes com
bine and make very nearly this additional
profit. If the tariff is reduced TO $1l they
will still have a chance to make IS so ton
more than Legitimate profit. The rice
tariff offers no such chance as that In
fact it is just about as much as rice planters
can do to meet expenses and make a living
They can stand a reasonable reduction,
however, provided there is such reduction
of the tariff on things they need that the
cost of making a crop and of living will be
less.
1t is pretty certain that the bill will I'M
dergo great modification before it is re-
ported to the House, and there is little use
in commenting on it before it reaches that
stage.

His Punishment is Too Light.

The announcement in our Paris dispatches
yesterday, that NJ. Wilson, the son-in-law
of M. Grevy, ex-President of France, had
been convicted and sentenced to imprison-
ment, doubtless caused some surprise. The
charge against him was that he sold the
decoration of the Legion Of Honor to vari-
GUS persons and realized large sums from its
sale. His unlawful acts were committed
while he was living in the palace of the
President, M. Grevy, and in the full
enjoyment of the Presidents conf
dence. 1t was the wrong doing of
NJ Wilson that led to NJ Crews resig-
nation. 1t was thought that by resigning
he hoped to have the prosecution of the
charges against his son-in-law dismissed
He had no great love for his son-in- law, but
he had for his daughter, and he was willing
to make any sacrifice to secure her happi-
ness. 1t is probable that he would now be
President instead of NJ. Carnot, if his SON
in-law had been an honest man.
The enemies of NJ Wilson were not sat
isfied with having driven M. Grevy from
power. They knew that he was guilty, and
i'll vindication of their course they deter
mined to have him punished. Their con-
Duct was commendable. 1t would have
been grave public wrong to have per-
mitted NJ. Wilson to escape the punishment
he so justly merited. He is bad man, and,
if he had been permitted to escape
punishment for the misdeeds committed
while NJ. Grevy was President he would
have engaged in some other criminal under
taking, and would have finally become an
inmate of prison. When the French people
see that the law reaches the highest as well
as the lowest criminals, they will have more
respect for it. The only regret in connec-
ton with NJ. Wilson's conviction that will
be felt by right thinking people is that his
sentence was too light.

Gus ing at the club the other day the well-worn
subject Of the tobacco habit, says an exchange.
The Texas man, like many of his Southern col
leagues, is an inveterate chewer. His friend
from Massachusetts, is on the other hand, out
spoken and fond of using very strong language
whenever the subject of chewing tobacco is
preached.

No, sir" emphatically declared the other,

Mr.. Stephen B. Elkins may have false
ideas about Southern politics, but his opin-
ions about the industrial future of this
section are worth noticing. In a speech in
West Virginia the other day, he said that
the next great advance in industrial pros
perity would be in the South, and that the
new era had already opened with the devel-
opment of mines and agricultural resources,
the improvement of transportation facili-
ties and the rapid growth of manufactures.
The tides of immigration and population,
he said, which for eighty years had been
moving Westward, we're now turning
toward the South. All of this is correct.
The growth of the South within the past
decade has been very marked, and it is a
healthy, continuous growth. Now that you
have performed graceful act, Mr.. Ekins.
don't follow the example Of Senator Sher-
man, who, when he was i'll the South, had
nothing but words of praise for this section
but when he reached Ohio, he launched into
a TRADE of abuse of the people and section

The Escape of the Millionaires.

There is no longer any reason why Jaw
Gould should feel any uneasiness about re-
turning to New York, nor why Russell Sage
shonld not eat his midday lunch of pie and
milk in peace. The grand jury of that city
has adjourned without finding an indict-
ment against them for alleged misappropria-
ton, as trustees, of propel ty of the Kansas
Pacific railroad.
Some of the stockholders of that road say
that they are out of pocket several millions
of dollars on account of illegal
transactions of MessIs Gould and
Sage, and as they could not reach them by
a civil suit, they thought to make them dis
gorge their alleged i'll gotten gains by prose-
cutting them criminally. They have met
with defeat at the very beginning of their
operations. 1t remains to be seen whether
they will accept this defeat as final, or will
make other efforts to get what they claim is
due them.
As far as the statements in the public
prints go it appears to be admitted that
Messrs. Gould and Sage got certain moneys
of the Kansas Pacific road to which they
were not entitled, but according to the view
"hiSh OAAO 81 bCOh VI bLo llldJUSI
they cannot be called to account for their
alleged illegal act because of the statute of
limitation, which protects them. There are
two ways of interpreting this statute, how
ever, one of which makes them still liable
to prosecution and the other protects them.
If the statute begins to run when the wrong
full act complained of was first committed,
then the time within which they can be
prosecuted criminally has expired, but if it
begins to run from the time the wronged
parties discovered the alleged wrongful
acts then they are still liable
to be indicted. Both the Judge and the
grand jury held that the limitation of the
statute must be reckoned from the time the
alleged wrongful act was committed. This
Interpretation saved Messrs. Gould and Sage
from very unpleasant position. Had they
been indicted they might, perhaps, have
presented a good defense, but, in view of
the fact that, if report be true, many of
their transactions are rot of a kind to bear
too close a scrutiny, it is probably safe to
infer that they are very well satisfied with
having escaped the way they did.
