MARGARET MATTHEW'S LOVE.
Juliet Is Tired of Romeo, the Orchestra
Leader HaberkOrn.
New York Special.


When Miss Margaret Mather, the act
ress, welded the orchestra leader, Emil
Haberkorn. one February day in 1887,
shyly stealing away with him to little
parsonage in Buffalo, where the Episcopal
rector married them, there was great ex
preston of surprise in theatrical circles.
Prior to that interesting event Miss Mather
had been welded only TO her art" rs J.
NJ. Hill, who was then directing her pro-
fessional career, used TO say in his always
poetic way Perhaps there will be even
greater amazement when it becomes known
that Miss Mather's marital romance has
ended.
There is an excellent authority for this
declaration that she is at once to sue for
divorce if indeed suit has not already
been entered. There is the usual secrecy
epshrouding the affair, but it is not easy
to misunderstood the preliminary steps
already taken by Miss Mather. If Mr..
Haberkorn determines to contest the case,
and all the testimony is brought forward
that is now limited at, there may be an IN
teresting trial.
Miss Mather fell in love with her
orchestra leader during her long engage
ment in Romeo and Juliet" In the
Union Square theater four years ago: Mr..
Haberkorn is of German parentage, though
q
capable musician, an abstemious man and
a hard worker When Mr.. Hill produced
Romeo and Juliet" at the Union Square
theater Haberkorn was leader there. Miss
Mather had up to that time lived some
what as recluse might. She received no
visitors at her hotel her hours were spent
in study, it was generally believed, and
her heart was supposed to be entirely
free. 1t is still said that she and the
blonde musician wooed only with their
eyes, but their chances were effective
messengers.
A wear or more ago il was stated that
Mr.. Haberkorn' IS lungs had become affected
by exposure and travel The announce
ment that he would leave his wife's troupe
quickly followed, and this IVES succeeded
BY the news that he had gone 70 Los An
geies TO recruit his failing health Since
that time Mr.. and Mrs. Haberkorn have
not lived together.
The separation was admitted by Miss
Mather herself last season. but there WIS
then no hint that she would seek d.
vorce. Within Is few weeks, however,
there have been significant signs tnat she
has entrusted her suit 20 her coHnset anu

/ GREETING TO THE ToILEEs.

All hail. yc noble, worthy band
We sons and daughters all, OF toll;
True labor in itself is grand,
OF living brain, or in the soil.
CHoRUs-Ye noble toilers all,
OF each and ev'ry kind.
Push on the rolling ball,
All never look behind.
OF equal need that all should work
Who have ability and SKILL,
At home, abroad, no duty shirk,
Performing all with earnest will.
Then WELD the pen, the hoe, the brush.
The needle, or the ak and plow;
Say not to other toilers, "Hush!
l am more worthy, far, than thou"
True worth consists in duties done,
With best of knowledge and OF power;
With charity for all who run,
Although they fall within the hour.
What merit in those grasping souls,
Who hoard their perishablc stuff
To be the prey OF bats and moles,
When competence is quite enough?
Those sordid piles cannot relieve,
Nor mitigate the many woes
or even those who dare believe
That riches all their wounds will oloss.
Then hail all haill ys noble bandl
Pursue your course with courage true:
Performance OF your duties grand
WIN prove a conscious boon 70 you

The Engagement Bracelet.


 Speaking of jewelry, the latest fad in en- gagement bracelets Is band of dead gold, from which dangle two translucent moon- stone hearts. This is relic of the fashion of few years since, when lover fettered his sweetheart with bracelet fastened with a paddock, to which he kept the key. Many girls allowed themselves to be thus manacled by love and were proud of their bondage. It wasn't so charming if there came a rupture. I knew one girl who spent an entire afternoon trying to release her wrist from It's golden letters. She fnal- ly broke it with shoo buttoner. Before marriage the lover generally wears the key upon his watch chain; afterwards he finds 1t a nuisance and restores it to his fair prisoner and she secures her bauble herself. But this | fashion became so common that 1t is 20 longer in vogue save among people who struggle along at the tail of the procession. There WAS time when only diamonds were permissible Tor engagement riugs, but now sapphires and rubies are both allowable. Three rings indeed are often given now, each one set with different gems, and worn one above the other. It is also correct for the girl to give her bethothed 8 xtHg, an intaglio being very good form for this ppsi pose.

THE ENGLISH FARMERS.

N BIN AS 1 E A xkNA k11bSs
 There have been some remarkable changes in farming in Great Britain during the last thirty years as we'll as In this country. In 1869 the total area under cultivation in Great Britain was 30,300,O00 acres. The total in-1SS9 was B, 100000 acres, showing acres. But this does not mean what it seems to, for between 1869 and 1889 there has been an increase of 1,400. 900 acres where the crops are rotation grasses and clovers, and an increase of 3, 100. .000 acres in the land used for permanent pasture. In 1869 3,700,- 600 acres of land in Great Britain were used for the cultivation of wheat; in the year 1889 only 2,sO0, 900 were thus employed. In 1869 2.20O,0 1000 acres were gown for barley; in 1889 the area was 2,100,000 acres. The acreage of oats has increased, but this seems to be the only grain crop which has. held it's own against Aneri- can competition. On the basis of percent ages, it is found that in 1869, in the United Kingdom, 9.7 per cent. of the land under cultivation was employed for the growing of wheat, 5.4 for the growing of barley, 9.6 for the growing of oats. That is, 26.3 per cent. of the cultivated acres was used for corn crop, while 49.5 per cent. was employed az permanent pasture. In 1889 the percentage of wheat acreage had shrunk to 53 per cent. and of all corn crops to 20.1 per cent.
 But there has bsen still m ore remarkable change in prices during the period under consideration. Wheat sold al Mark Lane in 1869 at an average price of about 50s. 4d. per quarter. In 1889 it was only 29s. 3d., and with but little chance of an advance. These facts present @ tolerably clear reason for the great decline that has taken place in the rents and the values of farming proper ties in EpQland,

BOYOOTTING.

It is not very pleasing to notice the revival in this community of the spirit that leads to what is called boycotting. To be sure, the present manifestations of that spirit are not of an openly violent and lawless character and 1t is not probable that any boycotting that may be done will be anything more than temporary annoyance. But the fact remains that boycotting or attempting to boycott business man bscause he will not or cannot manage his business to suit othel men is wholly indsfensible and has no prope, place in fres country. It does not differ in character from tyranny of the most dsspotic sort, and when carried to its logical sxtremi ty it leads to violence and prime. The boycotters say to each other, if this or that man will moi do as we want to have him we will ruin his business and make him an outcast if we can. Fortunately they arc not often able to do this, but their will to dc it is good. If this spirit were not restrained by fear Of consequ enoes its natural develop ment would be found in crime, committed tt enforce demands despotio in their natur. and based on no natural or legal right.
 It will be we'll for the people of this com, munity now that the matter Is again called tt their attention to bear in mind the req nature of @ boycotting conspiracy, and moi be made indifferent by plausible words. Il should receive no toler ance here under what ever form, it appears. And no business mar should for a moment be so weak and foolisl as to comply with any demand made upol him by boycotters. All of them are sneaks and some of them are villainous sneaks. is the part of wisdom to defy them, and if II the course of their boyeotting they oom' within reach of the law 1t should be prompt ly used against them.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

People do not get drunk, get a sjag" on, etc., any more. They have an "original package"
 A Frenchman has been studying the mill. tary and other records with view of deter- mining the height of men at different periods. The recorded facts extend over nearly three centuries. It is found that in 161O the average height of man in Europe was 1.75 metres, or say 5 feet 9 inches. In 17S0 it was feet inches. In 1890 it was feet inches and fraction. At the present time 1t is 5 feet S32l inches.
 One of the latest original ideas is the scheme of Philadelphia capitalists to furnish cold air to such as can pay for 1t after the fashion that gas and water are furnished. The cold air will be manufactured at cen- tral factory and carried to business places and private residences by pipes and let in or shut of by faucets. Already the scheme has been tried in number of blocks in that city and has proved @ success.
 In addition to the rabbit best, New South Wales is troubled by another called the ssaying fox pest" This creature is species of bat, the largest of the bat tribe, some- times measuring nearly five feet in expanse of wings, and is popularly termed the flying fox on account of the rcd, fox.like color of the fur, and 'sths very vulpine aspect of the head" Tho attacks of these destructive ani- malls a1o mainly aimed against fruits and other vegetable substances.
 The German emperor has now taken Into his own hands the management of his private fortune, and 1t is asserted that short time back he negotiated loan of 200,0OO marks, assured by mortgage on house in the Leibnitzstrasss in Berlin; before concluding the treaty the emperor visited the said house himself several times, 60 as to be sure of his bargain. The loan was made out of the sav- ings from the emperor's private purse, az the papers in the mortgage office in Berlin can prove.
