ABOUT THE WASHINGTON GIRL.
Some OF the Marriages That Have Taken
Place at Gretna Green-Remarkabl
Elopement-Tragic Runaways.


Washington is the paradise of girls.
Not little girls in short frocks and circular
hair combs and low heeled shoes. No; girls
in their second period; girls at the age when
they conceive a tremendous fondness for the
drastic novels of Mrs Braddon and Mrs
Clay; when they yearn to go to Europe,
dazzle the continent, and marry a prince;
when they want to emulate Mrs. Potter or
become "cattle queens" when they wear
Grecian knots and are disguised because they
are so uninterestingly healthy and cannot
make themselves look melancholy and pale;
when they are tired of home and talk about
"ideals' and aspirations" For girls like
these and what girl is not at a certain age9
Washington is par excellence the city of the
United States. In the first place there is less
restraint put upon the girls of Washington
than in any other city in the United States.
They are allowed to do pretty much as they
please. They can go anywhere at any time
and nothing is thought of it. 1t is a cosmo-
politan society, that Of Washington, and the
most stringent people are iberalized and
the opinions of the puritanicaly inclined
are considerably modified after they have
mingled in it for while So the girls are
given all the liberty they desire, and as a

Shortening the Catech;sn.

The General Assembly of the Scottish
Free Church, which has Just closed its
yearly session, has displayed a disposi-
ton to follow the lead of American
Presbyterlans in subjecting the stand
ards of the church to critical review.
The Scotch Assembly. by the emphatic
vote of Alb to 1870. decided to appoint q
committee to probe the dissatisfaction
with the Westminster confession Of faith
which has been cvinccd, and
considering what changes are needed
for remedying it," Thus, in the
stronghold of Calyinistic ortho-
doxy, it is recognized that wide
discomfort prevails and that necessity
is laid upon the church to open the
whole question OF its creed to debate.
On both sides of the water, therefore,
Presbytcrians are now studying just
what it is that they believe. In this
coantry a committee has already been
engaged on the question for more than
a year, and by the recent action Of the
Assembly the local presbyteries are
asked to say to what extent they wish
projects of revision carried. To judge
from latest reports, the church at the
very home of John Knox is not far
behind the more liberal and progressive
American. .--Ne,r York Er8nitlg .Su21.

DEATH OF WILLIAM N. TAFT.
Remarkable Career Of One of the Most
Prominent Personages in the Post-Sel-
lum Political History Of South Carolina.

CHARLESTON, Junes1.-LSpecial to The
Register. l-Ex-Postmaster ". \. TAFT
died at Mayesville to- day. For the last
quarter of century he has been one of
the most prominent figures in Repub.i-
can circles in this State. He came here
while yet boy, at the close OF the war,
having served, it is said, in q negro
regiment from Rhode Island. Be
ginning business in a modest
way, he opened a little suffers shop on
East Bay, where he sold old muskets,
army overcoatS and whiskey. He en-
tered political life under the reconstruc
ton regime, as lieutenant of police in
this city, under Gilbert Pilisbury, the
first Mayor elected here after the war, and
subsequently held the following offices !:
County Coroner, County Auditor,
members of the Legislature, State Sena-
tor, Alderman, and post master. He
ran for Congress in 1880, but was de-
feated by Samuel Dibble.
Some years ago he married the widow
of C. C. Bowen, well-known politician,
whose first wife was Mrs. Pettigru-King,
a daughter of the late James L. Petit
CRU, one of the few Union men OF the
old ante 6ellum South Carolina states
men. Bowen's second wife (now Mrs.

better known as "The Robber Gov
erHor" of this State
About a year or so ago he was troubled
with mental affliction, and had to be
sent to the State Lunatic Asylum.
Thence be was taken North, and was
supposed to have been restored to health.
Several days ago, however, he was sud
denly taken away, the place of his desti-
nation having been kept secret. He aled
to. day at the residence of 7. B. John
ston, at. .Mayesville, in Sumter County.
General Taft was a candidate for re-
appointment in the postofiice here, and
it is thought that political troubles
might have brought on relapse Of his

A NEW CIGAR HORROR.
Elegant Wrappers for Cigars Now Made
Of Patent Rye Straw Paper.
tErom the PttSbnrq Com : trcial.l

from the lrttS0.rg com trcldt.1
Among the latest limitations which
have been successfully introduced into
the tobacco trade of this city and other
cities are cigars, the wrappers of which
are made out of specially perfumed
paper. A gentleman well known in the
manufacturing circles OF the vicinity
was the first TO inform Commercial
Gazette reporter that smoking material
of this kind was new in the market. He
has recently returned from a visit to
Norfolk, Va, where he met drummer
for a large tobacco factory of New York
State. This gentleman informed the
Pittsburger that he was then introduc-
ing an imitation cigar wrapper which
was 50 deceivins in its character that
experts could scarcely distinguish it
from the genuine.
This preparation was made from rye
straw, and one portion of the process
was to steep the material in strong So
luton made from tobacco stems. The
grain of the straw together with the
manner in which the material was
dressed would lead any person to sup
pose that it was a sample of the leaf
used in making wrappers for cigars of a
more than ordinary quality. The flavor
of tobacco was also present, owing to
the paper having been immersed IN the
solution made from the genuine article.
The gentleman subsequently examined
cigars on sale in Norfolk and discovered
that they were made with these
patent wrappers. The samples exam
ined we're of an extra fine quality. The
drummer stated that the firm he repre-
sented we're making tons of this mate
rial and shipping it to all the leading
cities of the country. Paper made with
rye straw is the only kind that can
be successfully used for that purpose, as
all other kinds of paper can easily be
detected by tie smoker. The new mate
rial is also used for filters in certain
classes of cigars. 1t is very cheap and
can be sold greatly below the price paid
for genuine leaf.
Mr.. keenan,, well-known tobacco
salesman Of this city, when asked yester-
day if cigars of that kind were sold here,
replied in the affirmative. He had seen
numerous samples and that they were
very hard to detect.
MessrS. Dellmeyer and Jeukinson,
both extensive dealers in leaf tobacco,
said that the existence of preparation
of this kind was news to them. They
felt that it's success would be short
lived, as the trade would soon discover
the deceit, and then a mighty effort
would be made to drive cigars made with
bogus leaf out of the market.
Mr.. Goldsmith stated that he had
heard that a bogus cigar of that kind
was in existence, but he had never seen
any. He felt that the trade should
begin vigorous war against all manu-
facturers who used this material.

the false charge that it neglected old
soldiers, but when he had $4,000 pri-
vate secretaryship to dispose of he gave
it to his SON.
If the administration does not unload
Tanner promptly, there will be a Con-
gressional investigation of the Pension
Office next fall, in spite of the fact that
both branches of Congress are Repub-
lican. 1t is not unlikely that the ad-
miniStration will save itself this scandal
by unloading the Corporal. Assistant
Secretary Bussey had charge of the Pen
sion office two days last week, and it is
confidently asserted that Tanners resig-
nation had been called for and that he
was under suspension, but succeeded in
getting another chance. The office Is
simply going to pieces. The clerks are
demoralized The Boards of Review
don't dare reject an application if there
is any pretense whatever of evidence IN
support of it, lest Tanner should bounce
them. More than 500 cases in which

said to have been made special by Tanner,

got his pension rerated, with So, 900 ar

Gence. a pension attorney from New
York came here and got fifteen or six
teen of his clients rerared at an advance

additional to that on which the original

the maximum pensions on the minimum
evidence, and particularly for favored
claim agents.

Drowned While Drunk.

WILMINGTON, Del, June 21.-Joseph
Cochran and James Downey, both
of Philadelphia, Captain and deck
hand of the schooner Sea-
mans Bride, were drowned in the
Delaware, near here, last night. The
men, with other members of the crew,
were taking on a cargo of ice, and all
cot under the influence of liquor.
Downey fell overheard, and an attempt
WAS made to rescue him, but he was
drowned The Captain, who was in 4
drunken Stupor, came from the cabin to
ascertain the cause of the cOmmotion
and walked overheard, and the crew
were too drunk to render him assistance.
Neither body has been recovered, and
the surviving members of the crew are
locked up, that they may sober up and
await the COroner's action.

DYING TO AID SCIENCE.
An Arkansas Man Bitten By a Mad Dog
as an Experiment.

SEDALIA, Mo-, June 19.-The offer of
DR.. Ed. n. Small of this city to give
$500 to any one who would be bitten
by a rabid dog of DR.. Small's, and trust
to mad stone for cure, while not in
tended as a bona fide offer, has at
tracted more attention than the Doctor
anticipated. lie has had applications
from several men by mail and in per-
son to accept the proposition, bat to all
of them the Doctor replied that the
offer was.a joke, and that he would not
stand by it.
One man, however, stranger in the
city, from Arkansas, who refused to give
his name, was not to be put off in this
way. He gained access to the place
where the rabid dog was, boldly barred
his arm, and exposed it TO the dog.
The animal Immediately bit i piece Of
flesh out of the rash mans arm. The
dog died in convulsiouS fifteen minutes
later The man applied a maidstone to
the wound, and is still alive and well,
but apprehensions are felt for his future.
it is thought the mans mind is affected.

MOUNT CARMEL, ILL.,, June 16.-MisS
Sue Sutton was devoid of the power of
speech, her voice being entirely gone,
and her affection, which came on her
suddenly, was beyond the comprehen-
sion of the medical profession. Last
Thursday, while working in the garden,
she experienced most pecu-
liar sensation that shook her
whole frame and left her partially para
lived. Horrifed at the shock, she
managed after considerable time to
drag herself to the house. She was
confronted by her mother, who asked if
she had dug enough potatoes. The girl,
with great beads Of pcrspiration trick
ling down her checks and her arms
frightfully bent, stared wildly at her
mother for Severa. minutes and then
replied in firm voice, Yes
That simple word, the first she had
uttered for long time, so astounded
and bewildcred tie mother apd daugh-
ter that both fell upon their knees and
thanked God from the bottom of shelr
hearts. To-day the young ladyS voice
is as firm and strong as ever, and her
other physical ailments have disap-
pcarcd.

TANNER TO BE BOUNCED
HE HAS THUS FAR PROVIDED WELL FOR
HIS OWN FAMILY,
And Has Done Well for Favored Claim
Aeents-A Congressional Iavestiga-
ton Almost Certain if he Is Not Un-
loaded.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Corporal Tan
ner got his appointment as Commissioner
of Pensions because he had been stump
ing the country for years, holding that
the country wasn't doing half enough
for the old soldiers, and he is doing all
he can now to relieve the country of
the reproach that it is not doing enough
for the Corporal Tanner family. BY the
time few more members of his family
get their names on the public pay rolls
he will probably be willing to let some
body else have something. Public at
tention has just been called to the ap-
pointment Of the Corporal's daughter,
Ada, to a well-paid place in her fathers
Office, but another daughter, Nettie, is
a clerk in the Office of the Pension
Agent in this city. There is young
man named Tanner in the Commis-
sioner'S Office as private secretary or
confidential clerk, whichever one of
these two Offices Miss Ada Tanner does
not hold, but he says he isn't any rela-
ton to the Commissioner. The Com
missioner gets $1,000 salary and 1864
pension, and one daughter gets 81, 300 a
year from the government and the other
gets $720 This makes total for the
Corporal Tanner family of sl0,3s4. The
two daughters hold places that might
have been gwen to MANNED veterans,
but Corporal Tanner is not man TO let
any other veteran get anything until all
his family are well taken care of. 1t
was the practice under the Cleveland
administration not to let more than two
members Of one family draw salaries
from the public treasury, but the Re-
publicans are not so moderate. Corpora
Tanner is not the only subordinate of
Benjamin Harrison who initiates his
chief in providing salaries for his rela-
tons.
Col. Elliott F. Saepard says that the
President has as much right to give Of
fees under the government to his rela-
tons as Mr.. Pulitzer, for example, has
to give his relations places on the New
York World This idea that the officials
own the government and the country
appears to be the accepted maxim of the
Republican party. Assistant and Act
ing Land Commissioner Stone has just
appointed his son to be his private Sec
retary at 81, 800 a year. Gov. Stone will

The Waste ofCoal.

The Engineering and filming Journal
estimates from reliable data that at the
present rate of production and amount
of waste in mining the supply of an
thracite coal in Pennsylvania will be e1-
hausted in seventy-fye years. The
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette suggests
that as the maximum in the production
and consequent waste has not been yet
reached the life of the anthracite coal
fields will likely be even less than this
estimate.
