At the present time a popular pre-
sumption exists hat all girls wish to
marry, and fail TO do so only because
they lack an eligible opportunity. This
presumption exists ON account Of the OBJ
vious fact that women, being able with
difficulty 10 support themselves, have in
general a greater material interest in
marriage than men have. Surely there
can be few incidents Of an unmarried
woman's condition more exasperating
than her knowledge that because this is
the u%ndeniable fact it is vain for her to
expect to be popularity credited with the
voluntary choice of her condition. She
must endure with "A smile, however she
may rage within, the coarse Jest or in
nuendo to which it would be worse than
vain to reply. Nationalism, by estab-
fishing the economic independence of
women, without reference to their single
or married state, will destroy the pro
sumption referred TO by making mar
rtage no more obviously desirable to one
sex than to another.-Edward BeIlamy

Hard Work for the Aimirh,,

There Is "A minister in New York city
who said once that he was not certain
that he should ever make a long prayer
again What led him to say this was the
remark OF n very small boy whose mother
attends his church. Since the minister
learned OF the remark, it may not be I'M
fair to tell the story. 1t was a very long
prayer, and when the mother was leading
her son from the church after the services
the boy said to her. Mamma, don't you
min God must get awfully tiredln His
mother looked at him in surprise. What
makes you think sof" she asked. "Oh. he
works so hard" She waited a moment
What makes O think God works so

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-The following adj
vices have been received from the City OF
Mexico: a duel was fought at Piedad,
near here, on Thursday morning, be-
tween Colonels Francisco Nevoa and
Manuel Blanco. The duel was brought
about by a dispute, the two Colonels
using language of the harshest nature.
Nevoa had for his seconds General Flores
and Colonel Rodriguo Valdes, and Blanco
was supported by Deputies Francisco
Romero and Antonio Tovar, author of
the dueling code of Mexico. The arms
chosen were swords, and according to re-
port it was to have been duel to death.
The assaults after the signal for the at
tack was given were ten. Blanco was
wounded in the right arm, in the throat
and was laid out by thrust in the liver,
could not stand up. Nevoa had several
scratches, none, however, worth men
tioning.
In view of the fact that President Diaz
forbade dueling in the army by special
decree some months ago, it is probable
that the Colonels will be placed under ar
rest and punished.
IuOSS WHO nave IlNSu twenty-five Years
in the Rio Grande Valley have never seen
SO much misery among the Mexican pop
ulation as this year. The staple crop is
corn and Mexican frijole, but the
! drought has been terrible for the last
! eighteen months. Scarcely anything has
been raised, and stock are dying by the
| thousands. Many men who, years ago,
were considered well off have nothing
left but lands. Hundreds of laboring
men have left the frontier counties and
are finding work elsewhere. If the
drought continues until the cold northers
come in there viii be but little cattle
| which will live through the winter, and
many families will suffer for the necessa-
ries of life.
Rumors were current on the street this
afternoon that important changes will
| soon occur in the Cabinet. For some
time past the press has given much space
to whispers that NJ. Gompers Ferrias
contemplated resigning as Secretary of
the Treasury. No confirmation has been
obtained officially.

of Customs at Port Vera Cruz was clos
eted with President Diaz some hours,

Germany Alarmed Lest He Should be
Suddenly Stricken Down.
PARIS, Aug. 9.-GduIots publishes the
following dispatch from Berlin: EN-
peror William arrived to-day at Kiel, and
is at present unable to leave his yacht.
The Emperor's condition is much more
grave than has been admitted, for not
only does he suffer from the knee Joint
and ear trouble, but terribly severe rheu-
matte pains absolutely nail him to a
chair, sand will compel him to remain
utterly inactive for at least fortnight
without the least prospect Of stirring.
The doctors, while stating that the alarm
ing news circulated is exaggerated, say
that if the Emperor continues to refuse to
submit to the treatment prescribed, the
rheumatism must soon assume more
serious aspect and attack the heart. For
the moment he is quite unable to under
take any work, and it is thought his stay
at Kiel may benefit him if he keeps to
the regime laid down. But they fear his
ardent temperament viii not resign
itself to enforced repose.
There is much anxiety as to the con-
dition of the Emperor, and uneasiness is
felt as to what will be the outcome should
his disease have a fatal ending. These
thoughts are remarkable, as the En-
OOtS lOI uuSOdIlC HIS resources.
and Will surely continue q series of fa-
tiguing Journeys and duties as soon as
the first sign of Improvement begins to
be felt. 1t is an absolute fact that the
Emperor cried with pain when moved.
His ear trouble is increasing, and causes
frequent epileptic fits, which are re-
curing at shorter intervals and with
greater intensity than ever before, so
that the most serious apprehensions are
entertained as to the result throughout
the German Empire.
IF William II. were to dien said
Herr Miguel, German Minister of FL
nance, Germany would be in most un-
enviable position. The crown would re-
vert to child years old, and the nation
would have to appoint as Regent
Prince Henry of Prussia, the EN-
peror's brother. His hand could not
for moment hold the name of the Ger
man lion. To recall Bismarck to Berlin
would be simply madness.
bismarck is in truth very old, and
the deprivation of power has broke en- him
so that there cannot be imagined n more
speaking less than ever, flying into a
passion at the merest triiies, and making
life unbearable to those who surround
him.
Bismarck is done, and it is not on him
that we must count hereafter in our hours
OF lrlal. Inc WofSG OF II is that IL Is al
most impossible to say on whom we can
count in such case, and further, it is
precisely this which makes the present
position of the empire so precarious.''
The above conversation is said to be the
resume of a conference between Won
Caprivi and Miguel.

! PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Q. - Ex-Bank
Examiner Drew tonight forwarded to

tailed statement Of his work in connec-
ton with the keystone National Bank.
| The statement is in vindication of him.
! self, and deals with the action of Comp
troller of Currency Lacy in asking for
his resignation, owing to his omission in
the January report of the condition of lie
Keystone Bank of the clearinghouse
| loan.
In relation to this omission, Drew, in
his statement, says it was purely an
oversight in transcribing. He was not
! aware of the omission until June 23d,
when he received papers in the case, but
the clearinghouse loan certificates were
liabilities of an extraordinary nature,
and known to the Comptroller's office to
have been issued to the keystone Ma
| tonal Bank in November, 1890 and to
have been greatly increased in amount in
December following by reason of Il .un
on the bank.
My January report, Drew says, twas
marked preliminary intimating that
more trustworthy report was to FOLLOW.
and which did follow, with the omitted
item In full. 1t would have been fair to
the Examiner that the consecutive re-
ports, whether preliminary or not, par
| ticularly concerning a bank known to tho
| Comptroller to be in an unsatisfactory,
not TO say perilous condition, should DO
promptly colated in the Comptrollers
office, and all important discrepancies
| clearly pointed out at once'
! The statement further comments upon
! the fact that the omissions were not dis
covered until five months had passed, and
! that the unsatisfactory condition of the
| Keystone and Spring Garden banks was
! called to the attention of the Comptroller
| in 1890.
| In conclusion, Drew says he believes
he has demonstrated that the omission in
the report referred to was largely supplied
| by the letter transmitting it, when un-
| derstood, or could have been logically iIl-
| ferred from other information in tho
| Comptroller's office. and was virtually
| without practical effect i'll governing the
| department in its action toward the bank
! in question.
