HOW HINDOO GIRLS WED.

The Smaller the Bride the More Elab-
orste and Interesting the Ceremony.
From the Boston CNdss.) Evening Transcript.
In this country, where the march from
"Lohengrin." a white silk frock and a few
unintelligible responses make an elaborate
wedding the bare idea of q small 12-year-
old girl requiring nine hours to bind her
self to the man of her fathers choice seems
absurd in the extreme. Whether the out
lay of strength and rupees that such an
event incurs has anything TO do with the
tenacious prohibition or a second marriage
for the gentle sex has never been explained,
but as the hindoos are a practical people,
and an avaFicious people, il does not appear
unlikely.
In the first place, with them to be a
woman and unmarried is little short of q
crime, yet to marry, obviously, one must
have money. AS an outcome of this, when
daughters are born to the poor Banian he
helps them out of the world by the simple
and negative method of not giving them
food. One man admitted, quite as a mat

FIRST DAY OF THE FAIR.
SUNSHINE BREAKS THROUGH TIE
CLOUDS AFTER NOON.

The Exhibits Hardly at Their Best Yet.
Eight Counties in the Race for the
Prize offered for the Best County
Exhibit-Some of the Attractions.
MACON. GA. Oct. 25-The Georgia state
fair of 1892 was opened this morning and is
now in full blast But unfortunately for
the management the enthusiasm Of the citi-
Eens Of Macon was dampened and chilled by
the heavy rains that fell during the night
and this morning. together with the cold
wind and complete change of weather. By
noon, however, the sun came out of the
sulks and, hltering through the autumn
leaves at Central City park, cast pleasant
warmth over the grounds that rapidly
alled with visitors.
AS is usual on first days, the exhibits in
the buildings are hardly in place yet, and
the inside part OF the show will hardly be
In frst-class shape before Wednesday,
morning, but by that time the fair will bs
complete in every particular. and tbs man
agement said this morning that they be-
lieved they can coDscientiously say that
tins year the state fair is an exhaustive ex.
position Of the resources of Georgia in every
particular.
EIGHT COUNTIES IN RIVALRY.
Eight counties were in place with mag
nif1cent exhibits.
The merchants display is particularly
good, and the art department is better this
year than ever before.
Besides these of course there are the side
shows, two headed and extra corpulent fe-
males, Phil Milligsn and his collection Of
bony and homeless folk, the snakes, trained
pigs, cane takers and the hundred and one
attractions that go to make up the real
beouty fair.
The Atlanta military band has been en-
gagged TO furnish music during the fair. and
their bright uniforms add much to the
appearance OF the grounds.

HARRISON TO LOSE NEBRASKA.

The Democrats to support the
Electors Of the Third Party.
ST. LOUIS. No, Oct. ga dispatch
from Omaha, Neb., says that fifty of the
leading aud most influential democrats Of
Nebraska were iu secret session all las,
night, and that just before daylight this
morning the caucus decided to support the
Weaver electors at the coming election.
The democratic electors will not be with
drawn, but will be kept in the field for the
purpose OF maintaining the party organtza-
ton. As the three parties have been about
equally divided in the state it is considered
that ibis action makes it absolutely certain
that President Harrison will lose Nebraska.

Likely TO Succeed Himself.
From the Baltimore Sun.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.--About all the
nominations for congress have now been
made, and an inspection OF the list shows
that In large majority Of the districts the
present members have been renominated.
In many of the districts too, which the
democrats carried for the first time in the
landslide OF 1890, the republicans have
nominated ex-members, so that however the
election may result, there will be few new
faces in the next House as compared with
the large number of men who commenced
their congressional careers in the present
congress. The prospects are, therefore, that
the new congress will begin its labors year
from next December with its members well
broken to the harness, and If, az now seems
probable, the democrats have a large ma
jority, Mr.. Crisp will doubtless be reelected
speaker, and the general makeup of the
committees will not be much changed.
