THE OTHER SIDE.

To the Editor of the Globe.
A little dispatch appears IN your issue
of this morning, in relation to the Henry
G. Allen edition of the Encyclopedia
Britannica, and does great injustice to
a very worthy work. The dispatch is
so full of errors that it is almost laugh
able to one who understands the facts.
In the first place the Encyclopedia Brit
anniea was originated and published by
A. & C. Black. of Edinburgh, who own
and always have owned the ninth edi-
ton of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Charles Scribner's Sons are simply the
agents of A. & G. Black in this country.
You are we'll aware that no interna-
tional copyright law has ever been
passed in this country, hence there
could be no possible Infringement on
the Charles Scribner Sons edition, or
any other edition of the Encyclopedia
to the readers of the GLOBE that
there are two American reprints of the
Encyclopedia Britannica. namely. the
Henry Il. Allen reprint, of New York,
and the Stoddart reprint, of Philadel-
plia, which have been in the market for
several years, unmoleSted by anyone,
and now, because some little justice of
the peace way down i'll Missouri decides
a case of collection adversely to one of
our agents there, your "head-liner"
takes occasion TO call our edition bogus
edition. We print fac-simile from the
original plates sold by Charles Scribner
Sons, which is line for line and page for
page like theirs, with all the maps and
plates and Illustrations, and now, for
sOOthe, because we do not charge two
prices for our books, we are thought fit
subjects by the aristocratic Scribner
firm for libel and SANDER. Our book is
printed in the same way as the Charles
ScrIbner Sons print hundreds of vol
umes of uncopyrIghted books, and in
the same way that the English print

AN EXCESS OF WIDOWS.

The Westminster Review thinks that
the most serious evil of modern society
is the growing disposition of men to
marry late in life, and is driven to this
conclusion by the discovery that there
are 100000 more wido Ms than widowers
in England. 1t devotes an able article
to the necessity for a reform in this
respect, and takes the position
that men should not only marry
early in life, but that as rule they
should marry women older than them
selves. The greater longevity of women
is cited as an argument in support of
this proposition. While admitting the
ability of the Reviews article. we fail to
see the practicability of its proposition.
Human nature is one of the things that
can't be repealed. 1t is the natural
tendency of men to marry younger
women. and it is just as natural for a
woman to want to marry man older
than herself. Nature therefore ar
ranges all this in way from which it
cannot be diverted by magazine ar
ticle. More than that, society is not
hurt by an excess of widows in the
land. They are i'll the main the most
useful, as we'll as the most ornamental
portion OF society, and long may they
live

ALIENS LUCK.

1t is something of puzzle to find it
stated in Gen. ALIENS home organ at
Fargo that Rev. MENDENHALL, the
Grand Forks preacher who could not
run daily paper on Sunday in his own
name, went East to interview Senator
QUAY to solicit speakers for Gen.
ALLEN. and that QUAY referred the
preacher to Col. DUDLEY, of blocks of
five note, who said ALLEN should have
the speakers. This illustrates that pol
tics, that is, Republican reform poll
ties, makes strange mixtures. ALLEN,
it is apparently decided according to
the original triplet state. is to be the
candidate for governor, and from mod
esty, or some other reason, he wants
speakers. The alacrity with which
DUDLEY responds to the call, shows
that the ways and means are still at his
command, as when he made Indiana
secure for reform and HARRISON by his
effective methods. ALLEN will be a
handsome candidate, and he seems to
be fortunate in the name of the grand
father, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON.

The Fashions.

Bathing stockings which are rubber
finished and cork-soled find large sale
just now.
Travelling and walking costumes may
be made in any of large variety of
light WOODEN cloths and Irish home
spunS.
Dresses made up largely of pink
should not show color combinations, al
though, of course, white lace may be
used freely.
Flower-crowned hats in empire and
directOire styles are popular. Those
known as the "Tosca" style have a
bacchanalian air and are decidedly
ugly.
The pale, shadowy broche patterns
produced by the jacquard looms are
noticeable in many of the beautiful
Semi-diaphanous textiles imported for
summer wears.
Atall the fashionable resorts popular
toilet for youthful wearers is tinted
silk blouse waist with skirts of lace,
either white OF matched to the blouse
in color.
Bridemaids and debutantes wear very
stylish toilets of real China crepe in
willow green, old rose and primrose yell
low over sOft-repped sicilienne with
fronts of pearIed lisse.
Cool and pretty summer toilets in
white and green, or white ard gold. are
of white crepaline or India vailing with
garniture of China silk arranged as a
soft. easy empire vest.
A pretty dancing toilet recently seen
at seaside resort was of anemone pink.
The color was as faint as could be with
ont hnInO white and tho pffpPt lC
described as charming.
Piazza and ballroom wraps resemble
very much the talmas of other days.
The garments now worn, however, are
much more graceful. the crepe portion
being adjusted snugly to the figure.
Hats of green or brown rushes are
hot-waather luxury. One of these hats
is wholly vailed with green tulle, with
moss buds aud great yellow ToSca roses
and leaves around the front of the
crown.
Rich black toilets are in vogue and
reach the height of fashionable ele-
gance. Soft silks of various kinds, lace
yelling, grenadine, crepe de chine,
plain and beaded nets, and other hand
some materials are in popular use.
Apretty toilet for summer evening
wear is gown worn by young New
York woman. It is skirt of cream
white China silk trimmed with rows of
narrow MORE ribbon, the silk pressed in
accordion plaits from the hips, where
it is Joined by close jersey-Shaped bod
ice of cream lace, while the joining is
covered by an immense sash of MORE.
A similar skirt is garnitured with rib
, bon bands and sash of apple-green
silk.

Chauncey Depew and Grant.

New York World.
Mr.. Depew has had some Interesting
experiences in his years of oratory.
Once he left the manuscript of his
speech, to be delivered at charitable
entertainment, IN train and had to
prepare another in his mind while
riding in carriage to the hall. For
years he has been the orator at the st.
Patrick's day dinner given annually
at DelmonicO's. On one occasion he
was in Washington st. Patrick'S day,
and started for New York in the after
noon. He mapped out his speech on
the train and was satisfied with the
plan when he reached New York. 1t
was then 10 O'Clock, and there was no
time to be lost. He put on his dress
suit in his carriage while rumbling over
the cobblestones at break-neck pace,
and was pretty well shaken up when he
finally stepped into the supper room.
The dinner was over and the speeches
had begun. Gen. q. S. Grant had just
arisen when Depew entered, and was,
as usual, rather embarrassed. Grants
opening sentence was:
"If Chauncey Depew stood in my
shoes, with his facility for making
speech, and l stood in his, would be
happier man than | am now."
Depew heard this as he moved along
to get seat.
II saw an opportunity" he said, land
L determined to improve it. Idiscarded
the speech l had been working at for
six hours and at once began to build
new one on the inspiration of the mo-
ment. Two or three speakers followed
Grant. so had some little time to get
my ideas into shape. determined on
this subject: 'Who Could Stand in
Grants Shoes?' rang the changes on
Grants achievements and wound up
each topic with the sentence, Who
could stand in Grants Shoes?' In five
minutes everybody was OH top of the
table yelling like maniac.
"There had been GOODNESS between
Grant and myself for some time pre-
vious, but that speech changed things.
He came to me that night and wrung
my hand-swore that that was the finest
speech had ever made. That wasn't
my Judgment on it, but it made our re-
lations cordial up to the time of his
death ~

THE ENGLISH UNION.

That picturesque figure in American
politics, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BUTLER,
got another snubbing the other day, and
that, too, from the man from whom it
was least expected. Gen. BUTLER put
on his jaunty sailor cap, stepped into
his yacht, unfurled the sail to favor
ing breeze and started on his way to
spend Sunday with Mr.. BLAINE at Bar
Harbor. When he got there, Mr..
BLAINE sent out word that he was
going to attend church that day, and
didn't propose to have his religious de-
votions disturbed by visit from hard
ened old sinner like BEN BUTLER. 1t
is to the credit of the latter gentleman
that he Swore never an oath when Mr..
BLAINE's uncivil message was delivered
to him, but, wheeling his yacht around,
he started back over the course he had
come, whistling cheerily the air, ''Oh,
give me a wet sheet and flowing
sea-"
. 1t would have been to Mr..
BLAINE's advantage if he had treated
Gen. BUTLER more civilly, not only be-
cause of the debt of gratitude he owes
him for political services in the cam
paign of 1884, but because Gen. BUTLER
had something to say to Mr.. BLAINE
that was really worth his attention.
Only few days before Gen, BUTLER
had delivered an able address at the
Colby university, Waterville, Me-, on
the relations of the United States and
Canada, which was really elevated and
statesmanlike in its views. He not only
advocated trade reciprocity between
the two countries and ultimate political
union, but he undertook to show the
necessity for an alliance between all
the English speaking nations. Such an
alliance, he says, would be able to bid
defiance to all Europe and Asia. The
United States and Great Britain, having
none else to fear, might dispense with
their costly navies, and thus take the
lead in general disarmament. The
scheme of Gen. BUTLER's may have
something of Utopian ring about it in
Mr.. BLAINE's estimation, and yet there
may be those now living who Will see
a realization of Gen. BUFFERS hope.
A republic embracing the English
speaking people of the world would in
sure the worlds peace. And if Mr..
BLAINE has any ambition to live in his
tory, he may have lost his only oppor-
tunity by refusing to see Gen. BUTLER
and talk over the matter. If not a
practical question of to-day, it is at
least interesting as philosophic gen.

An execution took place at Little
Falls, Mimi, Friday under the new law
which prohibits the attendance of re-
porters and all published accounts of
the same. The newspapers treated the
event with the usual attention to de-
tails. Prohlbitory legislation the object
of which is to suppress news will not
prove marked success.-Davenport
Democrat.
The first hanging for murder in MINI
nesota took place yesterday under the
new law, and the newspapers of st.
Paul and Minneapolis printed full de!
tails of the execution of the death sent
ence, in defiance of the statute, which
forbids the publication of anything fur
ther than the announcement that the
crime has been expiated upon the gal
lows. 1t now remains to test the con-
StItutlOnality of that part of the act of
the state legislature abridging the free
dom of the press. In our judgment
there can be but one result-the vindi-
cation of the course taken by the news
paperS.-Cleveland Plaindealer.
The only object of hanging person
for murder is that the example shall de
ter others from the commission of the
crime. Indeed, from a humane point
of view, this is the only justification of
the punishment, for the criminal him.
self might be forever prevented from
further violation of the law by his i'm
priSonment. If the example, then. is
the object and justification of hanging,
why should not the fact, together with
the details, be published? The more
awful and narrowing the particulars,
the more potent the example as means
OF preserving the law invioIate. But, if
on moral grounds this Minnesota law is
we'll made, why not continue it to the
particulars of the crime and other
crimes? Of the crime, trial and punish
ment the newspapers should print only,
'John Jones was hanged yesterday"
according to this law.-Oshkosh Times.
Not content with the passage of law
providing for the private execution of
criminals, the Minnesota legislature de-
clared that no newspaper should pub
fish the details of the hanging. The re-
suit has been that, though murderer
was privately executed under the
new law yesterday morning, the news
papers contained much more sensational
accounts of the scenes OH the scaffold
than would have been the case had
there been no inhibition upon their Gus
tomary and hitherto legitimate reports.
While opinions may vary as to the pro-
priety of hangings in the presence of a
morbidly excited and gaping multitude,
there can be but one opinion as to the
futiIity of attempting to regulate the
publication of news by gag-law or Dog
berrian Observation-Disclosures Rec
