THE OLD STATE HOUSE.

The State House Is very lively corpse for one that has reached the stage of decay that some ascribe to 1t. We have had within the last two days some very interesting and inn portant developments concerning it. Men together worth many millions have joined in an appeal to justice for its rescue from the clutches of the vandals who seemed to have fatally fastened their grip on it. Communi- cations are pouring into the newspaper of- fees. One man says Stop my paper if you print anything more about the old State House." and another wants his paper stopped unless everything he writes about it is printed and his views supported. Professor Dana calmly and learnedIy shows that the marble of our Parthenon is poor stuff. It is highly probable that he will be told that he doesn't know much about marbles anyway, and that he should stand by Art regardless of Geology or Masonry.
 So it goes. Meanwhile the thermometer keeps rising, and there Is danger that the discussion will become heated. Let us hope not. If any man engaged in the great debate feels his mental temperature going up too rapidly let him compose himself, and in the shades of evening seek the State House steps, and there, with grandeur and beauty around above and under him, let him remember that Art is long and time is aeeting, and that whether the old State House stands or not it is good thing to keep cool.

tie Lis6nny, ons of the most ancient of Erin's castles. The huge square keep is still intact. Its vy-covered walls are fully ten feet thick at the base, and rise, with here and there a narrow window, over one hun dred feet above the ground. Into this strange structure Pyne and two of his com- panions retreated, walling up and complete ly barrIcading the lower entrance; and, pro- vided with canned meats, fruits and other edibles, with an unknown quantity of whis-
 key and cigars, here he grandiosely defed arrest. An entire company of Balfour's- sol- diers proceeded to dislodge him. But that was impossible. An entrance could not be effected. Even If one had been made, .ar- engagements were such within that anywhere from one to dozen tons of rock could have
 been preoipitated upon the invaders. Mr. Pyne soothingly told the soldiery all this, and much more which made their duties par tlcularly agreeable. The situation becoming known, Lisfnny was the center of attraction for all Ireland. Throngs came to Tallow daily to cheer Mir. Pyne, who sagely ad- dressed them on the wrongs of Ireland from ] a window ninety feet from the ground while the unfortunate soldiery were the butt of immeasurable and inexpressible ridicule. Thirteen weeks of this tremendous farce continued, when finally the great question as | to how MT. Pyne would take his seat in Par lament grew to be universally discussed. Irish wit and recourse answered this prompt- Ay' ouuuou1y tAeAo appod1co pldonIOcO dAA over the counties of Cork and Waterford a notice announcing that Mir. Douglas Pyne's grazing lands would, on 8 certain day, be sub-let by auction. Towards evening of that day every road leading into Tallow swarmed with Irish cattle and Irish men. By sunset over one thousand cattle were believing and charging around the base of old Lisfnny, while fully one hundred tenant farmers, swearing, protesting, fighting, managed to have the soldiers hopelessly stsmpeded by the excited herds. It is nearly fifty miles by road from Tallow to Cork Harbor. In the melee, clever ruBe by Pyne's friends among the tenantry, the eminent offender was low cred from his eerie, and by relays of swift
 horses was at Queenstown before midnight. The next night he was in the south of Eng land, and ten days later, while Balfour's sol diers were still closely guarding old Lisfnny that the arrant rebel should not escape, Douglas Pyne quietly entered the House of Commons in London and gravely took his seat in Parliament, amid such cheers as nev- CT before or since made the great structure tremble to it's very foundations.

THE BEST TTME TO MARRY.

It is the common idea that the best time to marry is when one wants to and can con-
 veniently and comfortably. But there are some people who have more or less prudence
 about marrying, and some even have so much
 that they never marry. A writer in the Hos
 pital, who dares not say whether he Is mar
 ried or not, attempts to tell women when
 they should marry. He addresses himself to
 what he calls the average civiliz ed woman, and he advises her to marry at any age be- tween twenty-fo and thirty-six. It is-not said that no woman shall marry earlier or later than either of these ages; but youth and
 health and vigor are ordinarily at their high est perfection between these two periods.
 Very early marriages seldom desirable for
 girls, and that for many reasons. The brain
 is immature, the reason is feeble, and the
 character is uniformed. The considerations
 which would prompt girl to marry at sev-
 enteen would, in many cases, have very little
 weight with her at twentyfour. At seven-
 teen she is a child, at twenty-four a woman.
 Where girl has intelligent parents, the sev- en years between seventeen and twenty-four
 are the period when both mind and body are most amendable to wise discipline and best repay the thought and toll devoted to their development. Before seventeen but few girls have learned to understand what life Is, what discipline is, what duty is. They can- not value what is best, either in the fathers wisdom or in the mothers tenderness. When married at that childish period they are like young recruits taken fresh from the farm and workshop and hurried of to long cam paign without any preliminary drill and 1 training; or like schoolboy removed from school to a curacy without being sent to the
 university or to a theological hall. Who can
 help grisving over a child-wife. especially if
 she have children, and husband who is an | inexperienced and possibly exacting bowman | The ardor of his love soon cools. The vision ary bliss of his poetical imagination vsnishes like the summer mist; there is nothing left | but disappointment and wonder that what promised to be so beautiful and long day should have clouded over almost before sun. | rise.
 This seems to be sensible. It could be wished that it had appeared in some other place than the Hospital, but we must take ! things as we find them. We commend 1t tc | those civilized women who have reached the ' age of twenty-four and are not yet married | also to those who are almost thirty anc | are still single.

COMMUNICATIONS.
High License in Philadelphia

High License in Philadelphia. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Will you allow me space to say that high license in Philadelphia has had nothing whatever to do with shutting up the low dives, With such an excise board as New York city has or county commissioners as Connecticut has, very few of the dives would have been refused license and none of them would have been kept out by the price of li- cense.
 It is the arbitrary power of the judges which prohibits four ffths of the applicants with the high license fee entering into oom- petition with the favored 1900 in legalized business! Some day the justice of such a proceeding will be shown up in it's true light One single question and I close: If $500, ,O00 received for exclusive privileges is 8 good thing for the city would not 5000, 900 be a still better thing2 Prohibitionists are for equal rights for all. PRO PROHIBITION. P. S.-Just now Pennsylvania liquor sell- ers and their allies are quite busy in defeat- ing prohibition. When that is done they will quietly attend to the cases of those par tial judges, who doubtless have numerous good reasons for their careful discrimination in granting licenses.

the finest lakes of the West and carried off by rivers. Prof. Fernow, of the national agricultural bureau, holds that this water is returned by means of the forests of the re- zion. Eighty-four per cent, of the park is now estimated to be forest land, and he would have it increased by further annexa- ton of forests on the south and southwest. These park forests are not timbered with heavy woods, like those in the far West. Their growth Is much of it light and stunted. But they prevent freshets and really keep the open park in it's beauty, as we'll as hold the streams that flow out of it from destruction that might follow if the trees were cut away.
 Senator Dawes has very neatly snubbed some members of the Massachusetts Question clubs, societies which seem to have been formed with the purpose of making it as warm as possible for public officers. Sen- ator Dawes, in acknowledging the receipt, in one envelope, of twenty-two slips, con- taining the same seven printed questions. each signed by five gentlemen residing in difference parts of Massachusetts, and asking his views on duties on smoked herring, pota- toes, coal, etc., expressed his modification that during the fifteen years in which he had been endeavoring to expound the principles which would determine his answer, he had not succeeded in attracting the attention of these livery intelligent gentlemen" He promised to make further effort in due time, and added: These gentlemen inform me that they ''shall put questions to me from time to time.' This is commendable, and they are entitled to respectful answer, which they shall have at all times from me. But you can inform them that it will not be necessary for them to be at the labor or ex- peuse of multiplying their questions twenty times, as in this instance, or of ssprocuring 800 names," for note from any one of them upon any question of public concern will re- ceive prompt reply.

LONE WOMEN.
Some SpeculatiOns as to the SigniA.
 canoe 0fD0f0thy Apartments.


 From the Boston Courier.1
 In New York they have coined the term Dorothy Apartments" to designate the feminine of bachelor apartments. The cus- tom of living alone, unchaperoned and un- suspected, is increasing to surprising ex- tent among youngish woman in that city. They enjoy the freedom which this gives them; they are, of course, for the most part people who are not scrupulous in the exact observance of the conventionalities of social etiquette, and once it has been proved that the thing can be done and the daring girl who ventures to do 1t remains respectable, the custom Is sure to spread rapidly. It is one of those steps which conservatives will be sure to deplore, it is hardly to be supposed that many people will at present be glad to have their woman kind adopt this ultra style of life. It is a step, however, that had to come, and it is one to be commended on the score of common sense and justice. There is likely to be little harm come from it. The girl who is vicious will be so under the pre- sent order, and the new condition will sim ply allow her to free herself from the disa- greeable necessity of some falsehood. As by far the vast majority of American 6women are quite as able to take care of themselves as anyone is to take care of them, it is only justice to give them their freedom. The whole situation is of course one of the feat urea of the general movement among women which Is one of the features of the century. It has resulted in the overthrow of religion, or, more properly speaking, it has been the most powerful factor in the overthrow of re- lieion, and it is not impossible that when the pendulum of belief shall again swing towards faith the retirement of the woman from her present public position will follow as matter of course. However this may be, it is we'll now to recognize that the old system of life has gone by for at least our generation and will not again be taken up until women themselves desire it, as sooner or later they surely will.

A bit of wire was introduced into our
conversation at the club. 1t was a silent,
uncommunicative bit of copper, about a
sixteenth of an inch thick and four
inches long. Most any hardware mer-
chant would give you a similar bit of
wire, because its value would be SO little
he could not reckon a price for it. But
this particular piece, Mr.. Vail twhose
father co-operated with Morse in invent
ing the telegraph) carries in his pocket
book as carefully as if it were gold,
many times more weighty. 1t is a
passive, plant substance-an inanimate
bit of copper, but it gave the first cleo
trio thrill that has brought the inhabit-
ants of the world close together, con-
quered time, and annihilated distance
It is a bit of the first three miles of wire
ever used for telegraphy. 1t is piece
from the experimental line constructed
by Morse and Vail, Sr., when they were
testing their inventions. Only little of
this wire, Mr.. Vail, Jr., informed me,
has been preserved. After it was taken
down from the experimental line, MS
father used part of it as trellis for vines
on his front porch. Part of it may have
been used in the construction of the line
between the capital and Baltimore, but
if so it was lost track of. 1t was from
the trellis that the mementoes were re-
covered. II think 1 got less than six
feet of it," said Mr.. Vail. "After teleg-
raphy became a wonder of the world
we began to appreciate the value of such
memento, and we saved what we could

been especially interested in it, and some
