Some time ago q silver brick was
taken to the mint at Philadelphia
and demand was made for it coin
age into standard silver dollars.
This was refused. A similar de-
mand was made of the treasury de-
partment, end was again refused.
\ mandamus was then sought in
the district court in Washington to
compel the Secretary of the Treas
nry to coin the silver into dollars.
The case was argued recently and
the idea was advanced that the law
of 1887 which granted free coinage
had not been repealed, and the case
now goes to the Supreme Court Of
the United States. The matter has
created considerable interest and
the action Of the Supreme Court will
be anxiously awaited. National

An Arab Wedding.

An Arabian marriage, celebrated
exactly as it would be in Arabia, is in
progress in Cincinnati. 1t is re-
markable affair, and it requires three
days to complete it. The contracting
parties are Raphael Latoof and Lizzie
Antonious.
The ceremony began at O'Clock in
what is known as the Red Onion"
tenement house, inhabited exclusive
ly by Arabs. The bride is but IA years
old. In opposite corners sat fifteen or
twenty men and as many women.
The bride was covered with red
scarf.
From a table in the middle Of the
room a brother of the groom dis
pensed beer. All the time the squat
ting men and women kept up an eX-
asperating bowling. Soon near rela-
tives of the bride and groom APP
peared at the door dressed in Arab
costume and danced stately minuet.
Then followed all sorts of perform
ances, wild shrieking, beating Of
heads, scattering of incense, bowling
under colored lights, and accompa-
MED all the while by the maddening
bowling. An immense crowd of spec
tarors is on the outside, and squad
of police is kept busy.
