Trouble Would be Saved If They Were
Not Dropped Altogether.
There is lawyer who does a good
deal of real estate conveyancing, one of
the chief of whose grievances in life is
the scant respect women show toward
their names. The fact that certain
alteration takes places in the name af
marriage destroys, so he Claims, what
ever regard a woman might Re expected
to pay to an exact rendering, and the
fact that any legal significance can in
any case attach to the form seems to be
quite beyond the grasp of the average
feminine brain. If girl baby is chris
tened Elizabeth she will sign herself
when called on to put her name to
deed after she is grown, Lizzie, Lisa,
Elise, Lisbet or Lisbeth, according to
which diminutive happens to be her
favorite for the year, and will omit her
middle name, give it in full or by initial,
or sign instead of her own her hus-
bands name, according to her sweet
liking. The task of the lawyer who
has to trace up half a dozen of these
signatures to make sure that they all
refer to the same person is not calcu-
lated to make easy the task of his wife
who has to soothe his ruff1ed temper
with good dinner. That the married
woman should in all cases retain her
own family name, preceding it by her
given name and following it with her
husbands family name is the lawyers
plea if he is to be saved from insanity.

BOND PROPOSAL s.
The Accumulating Surplus Must Needs
Be Reduced.


WASHINGTON, July 19.-Secretary Win
dom issued circular this afternoon
that on Thursday, July oath, proposals
will be received in the office of the sec
retary of the treasury for sale to the
government of the United States bonds
OF the act of July IA, 1870, and January
20, 1871, for the purpose of supplying in
part the requirement OF the sinking
fund for the current fiscal year. The
circular of April II, 1888, under which
daily purchases of bonds had heretofore
been made, is rescinded.
In explanation, Secretary Window
says; "Owing to the recent light offer
ings of bonds, the surplus has rapidly
accumulated until now it is in round
figures $50, 100000 exclusive of $25, ,000,-
600 fractional silver coin. The recent
act of congress transferring $55, 900, 900
from the fund for the redemption of ma
tional bank notes, makes a large
portion of this fund also available for
the redemption of bonds. The depart
ment is therefore in a position to retire
considerable amount of interest-bearing
obligations of the government, and the
advertisement issued today is simply in
tended to invite bondholders to name
the price at which they are willing to
sell to the government. The amount
taken will depend largely upon the
prices at which offered"

A Mail Steamer Grounded.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Lieutenant-
Commander w. Parenholt, command
ing the United States steamer Pinta, in
a dispatch to the navy department,
dated July 4th, at Sitka, Alaska, says
The mail steamer George w. Elder ran
aground in Whitestone narrows, a
dangerous and intricate passage, four
teen miles off Sitka. She had on board
several hundred Alaskan tourists. The
Pinta went to her rescue and succeeded
in towing her into deep water. She
subsequently went to Sitka. An offer
to convey the Elder to Port Townsend,
Wash, was declined with thanks, the
captain promising that he would go
back by the inside passage and beach
the vessel in case of danger.

striking out the provision for building

provision for section of the library of

it's outfit.
After the adoption of some further
amendments, the bill was reported to
the. senate, and all the amendments
agreed to in committee of the whole
were agreed to in bulk, except those as
to the irrigation survey. The discus
sion on the irrigation question occupied
several hours, and then the amendments
were agreed to and the bill passed.
The tariff bill was taken up as unfn-
ished business, and Aldrich gave notice
that he would move to take it up at 2
O'Clock on Monday. The senate then, at

MORMON PROPERTY.
Its Application to the Common School
Fund Opposed.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The house ju-
dietary committee listened to argument
by Judge James 0. Broadhead OF st.
Louis, in opposition to the SEN
ate bill providing for the appli-
cation of the forfeited Mormon
church funds to the support OF
common schools in Utah. Judge Broad
heads contention was that the bill was
in violation of the general law respect
ing charities, inasmuch as it proposed to
divert from its legitimate purposes
moneys subscribed in aid of
certain charities connected directly
with specific denomination. He held
that although certain of these charities
had been held illegal, yet there were
others among those specified as such,
as the support of Mormon schools, which
could legally receive the funds. AS the
property was now in the hands OF re-
ceiver, he held that the passage OF the
bill was unnecessary and would pre-
judge the final decision of the court.

Christian Hess, a woodchopper,
while on the way to his work on the
Blue mountain, cameeupon the body
of a bear lying near the edge of the
woods in Elder creek, the head and
fore paws resting on the bank Fast
in one of the bears claws was a piece
of corduroy nearly a foot long and
three inches wide, which had evident
ly been torn from a hunting coat.
There were two brass buttons on it.
Hess procured the assistance of a fell
low woodchopper, and they dragged
the bears carcass out of the water.
There was bullet hole in its left side
and several ugly cuts on its head The
bear had not been long dead, as the
blood where il lay was quite fresh.
No one living in this vicinity is known
to have worn coat such as the frag
ment found in. the bears claw was torn
from. There are no evidences of any
struggle anywhere around the spot
where the bear was found, but the 81

Wedding Fee&

Said well known clergyman the

much to say about the smallness of some
Of their wedding fees There u no
earthly reason, in the first place, why .
clergyman should receive any fee for his
services on such an occasion II fees
are to be given at all, they would be
much more appropriate when clergy
man is asked to officiate at funeral.
which in some cases may consume sew
eral hours of his time. But, granting
that a wedding fee is allowable, my ex-
perience is that such fees are as rule
too large rather than too small have
officiated at the weddings of great
many mechanics and workingmen. and
and In large majority of instances the
grooms have given me $40 Some Of
them have given Sl5 and even $50.
Now, the lowest of these sums is out
of all proportion to the average income
of mechanic. 1t is much more than
they can afford for a service which q
Christian minister should be glad to rem
der for nothing. And in my own prac-
tice have always returned the fee in
such cases, unless the groom was so fool
ishly proud as to refuse it. But in doing
so admit that am rupr;ns counter to
the almost universal custom of the
clergy. Ny own personal opinion is that
in an age like this, when the world is SO
ready TO find fault with the clergy. it
would be wise to abolish wedding fees
entirely. AT the same time do not as
sumo to decide the matter for any one
but myself. New York Tribune.
