WHEN MEN GET PANlCkY.
Prosp ect.ve EritleGrooms Repent on the
Eve of II: cir Marriages.

Pro&p ect!ve Eriaegrooms Repent on the
Eve of Their Marriages.
The case Of an Illinois physician who
went mad on the morning of his we'd
ding day is an illustration of the ten
dcn2y Of impending matrimony to I'M
balance the masculine mind 1t hap
pens not commonly but often enough
to be easily remarked that prospective
bridegrooms lay violent hands on them
selves or run away. without any ap.
parent reason on the eve of their mar
riages.
Such phenomena are probably due
less to real inpedmcnts or strong
aversion to marriage than to a demon
allied state OF the intellectuals brought
about by too anxious u consideration
of the seriousness of the propos ed
change. AS the chance of backing out
gets less, the happy man gets paniclSy,
until suddenly his wits go back on him
and he runs, just as green troops often
do when they are drawn up with
nothing to do but await the approach
of the enemy.
Curiously enough it doesn't often
happen that way with brides, tho
reason being, perhaps, that they are
too much occupied with their trous,
seaux and wedding plans to wonder
unduly as to whether marriage Swil]
suit them Or not. ia

EXTRAORDINARY OFFER.



We want Live, Energetic and Ca
pable Agents in every country in the
United States and Canada. to sell a
patent article Of great merit, on its
merits. An article having large sale,
paying over 100 per cent profit, having
no competition. and on which the
agent is protected in the exclusive sale
by a deed given for each and every
county he may secure from us. With
all these advantages to our agents and
the fact that it is an article that can
be sold to every HORSEPOWER, it might
not be necessary to make an ''extraor-
binary offer'' to secure good agents at
once. but we have concluded to make
it to show, not only our confidence in
the merits of our invention, but in it's
STABILITY by any agent that will handle
it with energy. Our agents now at
work are making from $50 to $500 a
month clear and this fact makes it safe
for us to make our offer to all who are
ouo VI SAlPAOy ulCAlC. AAHJ dSCuC CudG
will give our business thirty days
trial and fails to clear at least 800 in
this time. above all expenses, can re-
turn all goods nnsold to us and we will
refund the money paid for them. Any
agent or general agent who would like
ten or more counties and work them
through sub-agents for ninety days
and fail to clear at least $3.50 above
all expenses, can return all unsold and
get their money back. No other en-
ployer of agents ever dared to make
such offers, now would we if we did
not know that we have agents now
making more than double the amount
we guaranteed; and but two sales
day would give profit of over S125
month. and that one of our agents took
eighteen orders in one day. Our large
descriptive circulars explain our offer
fully, and these we wish to send to
everyone out of employment who will
send us three one cent stamps for post
age. Send at once and secure the
agency in time for the boom, and 60 to
work on the terms named in our ex-
traordinary offer. We would like to
have the address of all the agents,
sewing machine solicitors and carpen-
tiers in the country, and ask any reader
of this paper who reads this offer, to
send us at once the name and address
of all such they know. Address at
once, or you will lose the best chance
ever offered to those out of employ
menf to make money.

increase of Deafness.

1t is a peculiar fact, and one that has
attracted considerable attention in
medical circles and journals, that the
affection, or at least popularity, of
deafness in one ear is greatly on the
increase. In walking along the street
with friend it is by no means unusual
to notice that every time it is necessary
to cross to the other sidewalk he is
careful to keep on the same side of his
companion, while if he cannot do this
he strains his head around in an obvi-
ously painful effort to hear. Like most
all modern troubles this deafness in
one ear is generally attributed to the
grip, but whether this is SO or not the
defect is certainly much more common
than it was few years ago.

stopping Electric Locomotives.

Although it has hitherto been. pos
sible to stop an electric car quickly,
the reversal of the current which the
action necessitated res ulted in a con-
siderable waste and ca used tendency
to burn ont the motors. A new meth
Cd of accomplishing the stoppagc has
been devised. The new motors of
car are so connected that the electro
motive force Of each under the rota-
ton impaired by the forward move
ment of the car opposes that of the
other, and tends to produce q current
in such a direction as to increase it's
own field magnetism and cut down
that of the other. The car will thus
be checked or brought to sudden
stop if running rapidly, and if on d
heavy grade will creep slowly down
without taking current from the sup
ply wire and without having the
brakes set

numerous mistate dement's which have
been made during the last few days
concerning their elations toward each
other, because they know that the
authors of these ridiculous stories
would all be hunting for holes to crawl
into short time, as they actually did
when the official announcements was
made, several days ago, and Secretary
Carlisle had gone to Gray Gables to
assist President Cleveland in preparing
his message to congress. The invita-
tation for this visit was extended and
accepted the day that President Cleve-
land left Washington, after issuing the
call for the extra session. which shows
how much those fellows know who
have been giving the public in detail
an account Of Secretary Carlisle,s i'll
tended retirement from the cabinet,
because of the Presidents failure to
consult him about his message to con-
gress. Moral: Set Your news from
democratic sources. il you want it to be
straight.
President Cleveland and Secretaries
Carlisle and Lamont will return to
Washington together. The other
members of the cabinet. with the eN-
captions Of Secretary Herbert, are at
their desks. and he VIII return between
this and Monday.
The first business to be taken up by
the senate. which will have no time to
lose in recognizing, that having been
accomplished at the March extra SEES

elections from the northwestern States.
A caucus of democratic Senators will
be called early next week to discuss
these cases and arrange Il party pro-
gramnle.
A half million of dollars is to be
spent, it is said, by a lobby in endeavor
ing to secure the repeal of the Geary
Chinese law, and those who thrive in
that sort Of business are anticipating

pected that anything will be done5until
after the opening Of the regular ses-
sion.
Although Secretary Gresham de-

dent Cleveland will very shortly send

new treaty with Hawaii. Further
han that the new treaty will not pro-

certain trade privileges it will guar

Speaker Crisp has been here since
Monday: and it is not probable that he
Will at any time during the session
have to do harder weeks work than
that which had been imposed upon him
since the arrival, The first thing that
a democratic member of the house
wishes to do after his arrival is to
have little private conversation with
the speaker about his committee assign
ments. etc. Mr.. Crisp does not shrink
from these conferences; on the contrary
he has caused it to be known that he
wishes every democratic representative
to call on him and make known his
committee preferences, in order that he
may. as far as possible, give them the
committee assignments they desire.
The committe might have been an
nonnced next Woek. except for this
desire on the part of Mr.. Crisp to
meet the wishes OF the members. 1t

two weeks after all the members arrive

Treasury officials are pleased to see
gold again coming into instead of going
out of the treasury. The reserve fund
crawled over the 100000. 600 mark
this week for the first time in MANY
weeks and it is still increasing.
While it is not probable that the
financial question will be submitted to
a democratic caucus of either represen-
tatives or senators. democrats almost
without exception express themselves
as believing that an agreement will be
reached after little time upon a finan-
cial bill that will receive the support
of practically all of the democrats in
both house and senate, and the exis-
tence of that belief, adds materially to
the probability of such an agreement
being reached.

Cleveland probably never took the

The Income Tax.

We think that nobody need fear that the
next Congress will pass n law taxing IN
comes. Tho men who have large incomes
have also lnrge influence In time OF war;
when their angry passions are aroused
the people will submit 10 almost any KIND
Of taxation, but IN times of peace they
look nj the matter In a different hight.
Nevertheless, rs there is respectable
number Of persons who favor the tax AL
luded 70. it may prove interesting TO our
readers 10 learn that IN the year 1856 the
Federal income tax yielded S72.982 100
and IN 1851 yielded SGs.0ls,f2t. The law
was soon amended, and tbs result was
that in 1863 IT yielded only 8i1. 455.5Js, and
finally welded next - nothing. The yield
might easily have been increased, but the
law was bitterly attacked IN the money
centres. and feature after feature stricken
out until it was no longer a law worth
preserving.
The weld Of 1926 under the law OF 1856
would probably be largely over q hundred
millions of dollars.
