To Tell Mans Status.
1t was young married woman who
spoke. She was dining with her hus-
band on the piazza of hotel.
't1f you have any doubt" said she,
"about the relationship of man and
woman when you see them at place
like this there is one very sure way Of
settling whether or not they are married
When the waiter makes out the check
for the dinner, watch the man who is
going to pay it. If he nervously clutches
at the check, brushes it in his hand and
hands the waiter ten dollar bill with
out looking to see how much he owes, he
is not even engaged to the girl who is
with him, and stands in mortal dread OF
her opinion of him.
"If he takes the check and scans it
with some care and then quietly hands
to the waiter a sum apprcximating the
total, he is very likely engaged to the
girl. and is willing for her to think him
businesslike and precise.
''If. however, he allows the waiter to
place the check on the table, and leaves
it there for his companion to see and
study. then they are married 1t is only
the married man dining with his wife
who will sit back and think of other
things while his check awaits settle

Dsfore marriage he would not allow her
mind to realize anything so unromantic
as the price of the delicate vlands she
consumed. and even during the engage
ment he would not permit her to think
of such material questions.
"a year after marriage, however, they
discuss together the prices on the bill of
fare, and when the check is made out

band to know how much it comes to
Therefore, the married man allows his
dinner checks to remain on the table fol-

Now that the Condell, torpedo boat,
and the transport Imperiale, the last of
Balmaceda's fleet, have hauled down
their flags; now that the Revolutionary
Junta is in the seat of authority, and the
trustee Balmaceda created has surren-
dered his powers to the new Governments;
now that the refugees have been taken to
Peru; that the Dictator is fleeing over the
Andes, and the new Government is mov-
ing in the direction of permanent civil
organization, perhaps Mr.. Minister Egan
may find time and stimulate inclination
to officially report to the State Depart
ment: First, that there has been war in
Chile; second, that the old Government
has been overthrown, and that new one
is triumphant; third, that it is all true as
Admiral Brown and our Consuls have
reported to Washington, and that it has
therefore, in his opinion, been unneces-
sary for the Minister to bother himself
about SO trifing a matter.
The record-union., 1891-09-05

That shrewd politician whose predic-
tions have SO often been fulfilled, NJ. de
Blowitz, believes that Europe is upon
the eve of great upheaval, and that
nothing can now prevent war. Were it
not for the irritable disposition of France
we would believe the political prophet to
be this time at fault. But France is ap-
parently solicitous to provoke a blow
The issue Of tradition she clearly de-
mands shall be fought out. Even were
Germany to return Alsace and Lorraine
to-day, de Blowitz believes that France
would not be satisfied, and would still
demand the sword. We confess that
there is much to warrant this belief, and
that the whole tone of public expression
in France at this time is provocative of
belligerency. Zola declares that France
is ready; the German press sneer-
ingly ask ''for what?" and Figaro replies
''to atone for the disgrace of Sedan" AS
rule nations do not go to war for senti-
mental reasons, but when France begins
the impending conflict it will be because
of sentiment largely. Back of it lies the
old sore of loss of territory and the
treatment Of the people of Alsace and
Lorraine, but loss of prestige has quite
as much to do with the pugnacious atti-
tude of the Republic to-day. It may be
that all this agitation of the present is
bluster, but we very much fear that it is
OF the order Of boasting that results in
actual conflict of arms. A nation that
stands for three years, as has France,
with "chip upon its shoulder" anxious
to have it knocked off," is very likely
to be accommodated when it has an old
time foe at its face, at which it is contin-
ually splitting its hatred. The evidences
of rising anger on both sides Of the Rhine
are many, and no surprise should be ex-
pressed, if within the year, some act very
insignificant in itself should fire the train
that leads to war.

and can be readily identified. The coun-
try around the place where the robbery
was committed is of such character
that the robbers can be tracked, and it is
next to impossible for them to reach the
cover of the hills without making trail,
for the travelled roads are already fully
guarded. If these rascals reach the bot
toms along the Tuolumne, they may sue
cessfully hide in the willows for time,
but even that can not be a long retreat.
The evidences in the hands of the officers
point to the notorious Goshen gang as
presumably guilty of the robbery The
working" of the scheme resembles the
Goshen outrage closely, and would seem
to indicate that the same men "engi-
neered' both crimes. If with the early
start they had, the officers do not over
haul the robbers the whole people will be
greatly disappointed.
