alleged widows relations with the mill
ionaire the court said:
Her story of the betrOthal and marri-
age is very interesting, but it is entirely
dependent upon her own testimony, If
is incumbent on the defendant to prove
the fact OF marriage on the 10Th of Nav.
1878; they were either married on that
day or they were never married: and
this fact, the consent marriage, is
wholly dependent upon the evil
dence of the defendant. 1t is
remarkable that person with the
principles she professed and the deter
mlnation to be involved in no entangling
alliance capable of being misinterpreted,
who wanted it to be matter of life and
death, who told HIM if she should accept
him she wanted some ceremony or con-
tract made; wanted the matter to be
permanently fixed, If it were to be done
privately or secretly, because she had
had great deal of trouble in her life.
and she wanted it so arranged that it
would be matter of life OF death for
ever; it is remarkable that in such cir
cumstances she should not have insisted
on some authentic and express evidence
of so solemn compact. Her counsel
says she did not yield without struggle
and contract. Where is the contract?
She was q woman of experience in the
world, had been married and divorced,
and had been married by minister of
a denOminational church: was fully
alive to the situation in which she had
either placed herself designedly CT
found herself placed: she had ample
knowledge of men, and keen sense of
the importance of preserving in per-
manent and indelible form the proof of
marital relations. She says herself she
wanted it to be fixed for life by 'cere-
mony" or contract" What was
the ceremony? Where is the con-
tract? She protested belief in the
creed of a church that re-
CARDS marriage as an institution of di
vine ordinance, and yet she accepted

At the University.

Saturday proved bad day for records at Berkeley's athletic games, and the share con- tributed by Yale athletes was no mean one. Sherrill in the 100 yard dash equalled his previous record, 10 seconds, and in the 150 broke the American record and equalled the world's-144-5 seconds. What magnif- cent runner he isl says the New York Her. aid. Captain Robinson also showed up well. The tug of-war team did not do as well as was expected. Williams was another man to do Yale honor, and for the intercollegiate games he may be depended upon for one or more frsts. The showing made by the Yale men was, on the whole, very creditable and @ source of surprise, considering what wretched condition the team was in but @ short time since. Much is due Captain Rob- inson for his patient work with the men.
 The University of Pennsylvania will send an eight-oared crew to the Harlem regatta, and the Fairmounts of Philadelphia will send e crew to the Passaic regatta. Ellis Ward trains both crews.
 Henry Whiting Garfield will referee the Atslanta- Yale race on Saturday next The Atalantas will leave for New Haven on Thursday evening, so as to have a row over the course the day before the race.
 successful concert was given Saturday evening iu Chickering hall, by the Columbia Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs.

COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.

silver to Dc she Principal Topic of Dis
 cusslon I'm the senate-A Vote to be
 Taken on the TariG Bill on Wednes-
 day.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., May 18.-Silver will be the principal toric of discussion in the senate again this week. Senator Stewart has given notice of his purpose to>address the senats on this subject Wednesday. The ad- dresses in memory of the late Representative w. D. Kelley of Pennsylvania will be de- livered on Tuesday afternoon, and Saturday will be devoted to the calendar. These are the only probable interruptions of the silver debate. The naval appropriation will, it is expected, be reported early in the week, but it will not be called up for action until the silver question has been disposed of. If the finance committee can find suitable opportu. nifty the tariff bill will be taken up in conn., m1ttee for consideration so that an early re- port may be made thereon to the senate, but as the members of that committee are more or less interested in the silver debate it is doubtful If any progress will be made on the tar1n until after the silver bill is out of the way.
 The first three days of the week in the house will witness the closing scenes in the tariff debate which promise to become more animated as the end draws near. It is the present intention of the ways and means committee to report the bill from the conn., mtttee of the whole Wednesday when yea and nay votes, depending in number upon the number of amendments made to the bill will be in order. The wool sections are to be the subject of attack again in this way and, altogether, the proceedings promise to con- sume considerable time unless special rule is reported from the committee on rules to hasten the conclusion. The elections com. mittee intends to call up the Alabama con- test case of MoDufie versus Turpin immedi- ately after the tariff bill is disposed of and as the report of the committee in favor of the contestant involves the inversion of an appar- ent majority of 5000 a bitter resistance is apt to be developed. The river and harbor peo- pie are also waiting for the first opportunity to call up their appropriation and get it through the house.

 Do not throw off your Winter f1annels too early. It is better to suffer little Inconvenience than to take cold.
 If you feel tired, feverish oEerheated, do not rush off and take Spring medicines" Cool your self down and in this way help your system and purify your blood.
 If you feel hot and thirsty, do net drink large quantities of water other Hong" drinks It is much better to take little pure whiskey and wa ter, which will quench the thirst tone the system and fortify against disease.
 Remember that only PURE whiskey should ever be taken into the system, and that the leading chemists and scientists of the present day unite in declaring that Dufy's Pure Malt is absolutely the purest and best. ap15 oawnr
