In 1857 he was united in marriage to Miss
Alkaline cambridge, and soon after moved
to Mississippi, where he resided 10 the day
Of his deatl. In 1872 death entered his
home and took from him his cherished wife.
In ls44 he was again married, this tint to
Miss Harriet Smith, who lived TO ladleu
his home but eight years, dying ia 1852.
During the year 1856 he vas married the
third time. on this occasion to Miss Angie

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Mr. Sherman,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, presented an invitation for the
German government asking the partici-
patton of the United States in the inter-
national art exhibition to be held in
Munich from June l to Oct. 1, 1899.
Referred to the committee on foreign
relations.
Mr.. Dolph, from the committee on
foreign relations, reported adversely

restrictions and prohibitory bills, and as
a substitute therefor reported senate bill

iting and restricting Chinese immigra-
tion for a period of ten years. Calendar.
Mr.. Kyle, according to notice, called
up his Joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, making uniform the laws
III regard to marriage and divorce, and
read prepared speech upon the sub
ject.
Mr.. Kyle said although his own state
OF South Dakota had secured an un-
enviable reputation in regard to divorce,
its laws III that respect were no more
ioA uhoh uiloSO VI oblttI bJdlSb. Dub ub
would admit that the provision author
izing a divorce after ninety days resi-
dence was productive of fraud and
perjury, and often made divorce a
farce.
A national law would remedy all this.
Parties married in one state, would be
married in every state; those divorced
in one state, would be divorced in every
state; the sanctity of the family would
be maintained, and the legitimacy of
children would be placed beyond ques-
ton.
He asked that his resolution be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee, and
it was so ordered. Mr.. Vest called up
the bill for postoffice building, not to
exceed $4,000 in cost, in every town
where postal receipts exceeded $4,000
per annum. He said the number of
buildings would be about 500 and the
total cost about $6,000,00 The bill
would make great saving in rentals.
A debate on the general policy regard
ing public buildings followed. The bill
was still under discussion when the
hour of o'clock arrived and the senate
resumed the consideration of the Man.

CINCINNATI, Feb. A national con-
vention of retail furniture dealers of
the United States, will be held in Gin
cinnati, Wednesday, July 13, for the
purpose Of discussing the irregularity in
freight rates, and adopting measures to
prevent manufacturers from selling
goods to dealers having made fraudu-
lent failures and again engaged in bus
mess.
A. A. Brown, the secretary, states
that the several traffic associations of
the United States have granted reduced
rates, the hospitality of the city has
been extended, and a royal time is an

should be held in Cincinnati, where
was held the first furniture exposition.

Postoffice Authorities Will Now Begin I'm
Earnest to Wipe Out the Lottery Evil.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The agents
and attorneys of the Louisiana Lottery
company in Washington are in condi-
dition of dismay at the decision of the
supreme court, sustaining the constitu-
tionality of the anti-lottery act. There
is no doubt that as result of the de-
cision there will at once follow great ac-
tivity by the postoffice department in
pushing to trial and conviction large
number of indicted persons whose cases
have been delayed, not on account of
any laxity in the department, hnt be-
cause of delays in tho ceurts and be-
cause of a desire to wait, in many cases,
until the constitutionality of the law
should be affirmed. The law has al
ready been effective in ridding the mails
of lottery matter
The Louisiana lottery has for long
time ceased to use the mails to transmit
printed matter in packages or unsealed
envelopes. Its use of the post is now
limited to matter under seal. Statistics
show that the lottery letters received at
the dead-letter office have, within two
years, dropped from an average of 93S
per month to less than forty per month.
Since the anti-lottery law went into
effect and up to last November there
had been indicted 6i3 persons for its vio-
lation. The total number of convic-
tions however, was only fifty-nine, al
though only one person has been dis
charged from custody for want of evil
dence The remaining indictments will
now be pushed for trial More import
ant still, prosecutions will doubtless be
established against the express COM
panies. The Southern express, which
heretofore has openly received and
carried all printed matter offered by
the lottery company, sealed or unsealed,
will probably either discontinue this
branch of its business or be prosecuted
Foreign lottery companies. notably the
Mexican and Cuban lotteries, will also
be debarred from the use of the United
States mails denied to citizens of this
country.
