The shameless practice of gerry
Wandering which has stained the
history of both American parties
for many years has received a blow
in Wisconsin which ought to check
the evil, though it probably will not
do so. The Supreme Court of that
State has declared a late out
rageous bill passed by the Legisla-
ture, unconstitutional. The bill,

the present quarter is not
half so bad as the cry of the
croakers would indicate. It's
the people who think, think,
think without doing; people
with not enough energy in
them to get out of the office
and go forward and wait
on customers people who
think advertising doesn't pay |
that are going to tell you
that business is not what it
was when sugar sold at 500
a ton. To make times bet
ter the business man must
watch every honest opportu-
nifty to secure customers-a1d
dollars. Merely to look after
the customers and let the coin
look after itself is not good
business. The better way is
to sell fewer goods and sell to
people who you can collect
from without adding lawyers
fees and court expenses to the
end of the bill. Weed out the
bad paying customers, offer
inducements to those who
are willing to pay cash and
the buyer and seller will have
fewer sleepless nights. This
action would be the prelimi-
nary step to a strictly cash
business and there would be
no necessity to jump, alb
ruptly, from the credit to the
cash system. Where, as in
Honolulu, business has been
conducted for a half century
on credit basis, merchants
will find many obstacles in the
way of a sudden change of
system.
J Besides all this you must
have the goods, both in guam
tity and quality, that the peo-
! pie demand. We have been

HE OBJECTED.
How New York Bachelor Regarded n
Washington Chapcron.

How n New York Bachelor Regarded n
Washington Chapcron.
Last season, relates n Washington
lctter-writcr, n wcll-known bachelor of
New York city visited the national CAPT
tai to enjoy the social advantages of
the official season. While there he met
charming young woman, whom he in
vitcd to accompany him to the opera.
She accepted the invitation provided he
would permit her to ask some older
lady as chapcron. She secured the
companionship of prominent wealthy
spinster in the West End, who was a
mutual friend, and the evening passed
delightfully."-. Not long afterward the
young man invited the fascinating
chaperon to accompany him alone to
the theatcr, when, to his surprise she
also demanded the presence of third
party, and for propriety's sake proposed
her maid.
He accepted the position with as
good grace us possible, and upon the
evening appointed called for his com
panion in coupe. The lady appeared,
cloaked and hooded, followed closely
by an ebony female attendant When
about to step into the carriage, where
she had already placed her maid upon
the only vacant scat, she turned smiling
ly to her escort and remarked: "Mr.
A., will you be kind enough to sit
outside with the drivcr?" The highly
disconnected beau looked aghast for an
instant at such an unusual proposal.
but quickly recovering himself threw
open the carriage door, and, with an ex-
clamation more expressive than polite,
replied: mo, I'll be hanged if will!
Let the darby sit with the driver, ifyou
must have her" 1t is needless to say
that his determination carried the dav.
but the lady was comforted by the pres
ence of the sable chaperon, who occu-
pied rear seat in the privacy of the
box throughout the performance.

They Go There With tho Fixed Purpose
OF Enjoying Themselves.
The French love for the theater can
hardly be overestlmated. They love it
for its own sake, for what they see and
hear there. Even in Paris it is ONLY the
more thoughtless votaries Of pleasure
the busy oilers of the "high life" (pro-
nounced 'igg-leaff") who look upon tho
thcatcr merely as one of the many en-
vironmcnts in which social business is
to be conducted The sort of unrcu-
soning, automatic attraction toward the
thcatcr, the love for it's very atmos-
phcrc, and the daily recurring home
sickness for its throngcd auditorium
and dcoNidated air, that one finds in nj
most all classes in Italy, are not charac-
tcristic of the average Frenchman, nor
even the average Partisan, says Il writer
in Scribner's. Leaving the gh-lifcurs"
aside, you will find that when the Paris
luler goes to Il thcatcr or to II concert,
he docs SO with the perfectly fixed in
tent of enjoying himself in definite
and predetermined way; he is careful
to know beforehand just what he is to
see or hear, and makes up his mind that
the entertainment will be to his liking
before he buys his ticket. Once at the
theater, his absorption in what goes on
on the stage is complete, and his disap-
pointmcnt corrcspondingly acute if the
performance does not please him.
Then, when boredom has fastened uDon
hinl-the thing in life hc most ubhors-
he becomes II most unpleasant person
to act to- The traditional cool apathy
of Boston audience does not begin to
be the wet blanket to an actors fire
that the unconcealcd boredom of Il
Paris house is. Loud expressions of dis
approval have gone out of fashion, and
are rather frowncd down, but the I'M
easy rcstlessness of Il house face to face
with dull play is communicative, and
more eloquent of discomfort than misses
and cat-calls. And the Partisan sell
dom, if ever, takes refuge in that favor
lite resource of the American when he
finds himself bored; leaving the thea
ter before the play is over and going
home. He likes his dramatical or musi-
cal pleasure in large doses, partly as
matter OF taste, and partly also for
reasons of economy; for an evening out
means a saving of firewood and lamp oil

Bride and Groom.

Our word bride" is derived from the
Anglo-Saxon verb ''bredan," to cherish,
while groom" or ''grom," is an old
Dutch word, which simply means a
young man, and is quito different from
the term applied to our equine domes-
tics, which either comes from the Persian
"garmn" Ia keeper of horscs), or else
from the Anglo-Saxon word "guma" "a
caretalser or servant).

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
Two Soldiers Of the sape Name, State and
Rank.

Rank.
The recent death of Mai William c.
Manning of Newport, Me-, says the
New York Sun, recalls the curious coin
pidcnce of two men of the same name,
both belonging in Maine, both enlist
ing in Massachusetts regiments, and
both attaining the rank of major in the
volunteer service. One was the de-
ceased-thc other being Mai. William
G. Manning of the regular army, no,y
stationed in Texas, n brother of Prem
tiss G. Manning, Il prominent merchant
of Portland. The similarity in the
names and rank of the two men has
frequently caused annoying and ludi-
crous mistakes on the part of the people
who mixed the soldiers up. On one oc-
casion the Newport maior visited n
western city and his arrival was men
toned in the local papers. Next dny
he received note from Il lady whom he
never heard Of before asking him CURLY
why he had neglected to call upon her.
Was he too much taken up with other
people to pay any attention to her or
did he not consider it worth his while
TO call? and SO on, the cpistlc plainly
leading up to Il flow of tears. The as
tonishcd veteran did not call upon the
lady and when they met she felt more
foolish than neglected. She was the
intended bride of the other major. The
two soldiers occasionally happened to
be in tho same city at the same time,
and as both were wcll-known innumcra-
bic blunders bothcded them until they
got far apart again, and they often con-
graduated themselves that they lived
great distance from each other.

THE CELEBRATION.
Committees Working Hard to
Make it a Success.

The different sub-committees on the
Roanoke decennial celebration, which
Will be held in this city June IS, are
pushing their work forward with all
possible rapidity and arc meeting with
as much success as the most sanguine
friends of the movement anticipated.
The military committee, of which Col.
s. S. Brooke is chairman, has sent for
NAL invitations to each military or
ganization in the State, and will fur
nish as many as twenty-five from each
command with free transportation to
ana from this city and will give them
free quarters and rations while hero.
The committee on engineers and
architects held meeting yesterday and
will formulate arrangements so that all
the different engineers and architectural
firms will turn out with their full corps,
bearing their implements and para
phernalia. They will probably make this
one of the most interesting and attrac.
tive divisions in the parade.
The fire department. committee re-
Gently held q meeting and decided to
turn out with the whole department in
body in full regalia, with all the en-
gines, wagons and hose carts Fire
companies from other points in the
State will be invited and are expected
to attend. This committee is discuss
ing the advisability of having at night
grand torch light parade, independent
of the trades display in the daytime.
The manufactures committee has
held several meetings and is we'll sat
ished with the progress made. It's
members are making 4 systematic can
vas otall the different manufacturing
concerns in the city and it is safe to say
tnat all of them will have floats in the
procession on which work in their re.
spective lines will be going on. This
will be very amusing and instructive,
and will be something that was never
before seen in trades display in this
section.
Next Saturday night all the chair
man OF the twenty-five different com
mittees will meet and consult with the
executive committee in the rooms of
the Comm ercial Association, at which
meeting the great mass of the details of
the celebration will be fixed.
The committee on decorations re-
quest that all the private residences
and business houses along the limo of
march, which will be shortly be pub
lished, will decorate their buildings.
