CLARA TO LOUISE.

MY DEAR LOUISE: The household
received your letter with great pleasure
and at present it is the topic of discus
sion.
have been informed that Mrs. J. W.
Mason-Layton and the professor in
tend to give the full details to the pub
lie concerning their marriage, which
has created a great talk. However, /
am relieved of reason for thinking
they were in fault by being informed
that the trustees of the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church granted them the
privilege of the church before their in
vitatiOns were issued. but it was re-
voked afterwards by the deacons. The
question is now, what is the canon
law of the church ? The public is
anxiously waiting for the answer on
the other side, after which [ shall give
my views On the whole.
Referring to divorces and marriages
men and women are often tempted to
marry for money, property, education,
beauty, ETC., when the chief object of a
happy marriage life is ignored. They
should seek ones disposition and find
out his or her moral habits. am not a
believer in the old maxim. at takes a
lifetime to find one out" but l do be-
lieve it will take equally as long if you
don't find out in the right way. We
should study human nature little
more. For an instance gentleman
will not insist on giving a lady pleas
ing time on the first meeting. A lady
will dot accept such hospitalities. All
such has tendency to make an un-
happy marriage life and is sure to bring
about divorce suit.
Midsummer is upon us and all our
thoughts turn lightly to the cool and
airy muslinS, the gosSamer-like grena-
dimes and dainty challies. None but
the cooling airs of mountain and sea-
shore seem endurable, and even then
the heat pursues us. To the most un-
cbServant eye it must be evident that
the present season has introduced many
new styles.
Shirts and Jackets, ruffles and lapels,
sleeves and collars, have all undergone
a change, until to-day the styles of last
year seem almost antiquated. There
is so much diversity in the style of the
fashions of the present day that it is
quite difficult matter to know what to
wear. The whole of our costume
must be cut quite a different style to
thatfof a few months ago.
Incolors heliotrope has held it's own,
and is by no means shade of the past;
pale tones of green for evening wear
have the greatest success.
Yours truly. CLARA.

THE BABY ACT'.

Mr.. T. Thomas Fortune has de
clIned. to serve as chairman of the
executive committee of the Afro
American Press Association and
has rendered his resignation as
member of the association. The
asst talk the editor f the
BEE had with Mr.. Fortune he de-.
cided to serve and we both dis
Gussed the nature of the pro.
gramme that should be presented
at the next meeting of the Asso.
citation. This is the best evidence
in the W rid that Mr.. Fortune
lacks stability and shows bis ange'
over his last defeat.

BAD FAITH.

IF any man is fool enough to
believe that politicians enter po
litical fights for love, the BEE
takes occasio to state that poll
ticians aud those who are not poll
ticians, want Offices as we'll as
money. 1t is ridiculous for one to
assert that he is Democrat or a
Republican from principle. Some
people ere Democrats because it is
to their interest to be 80. Others
are Republicans because it is con-
venient when Republicans are in
power. The Democrats who are
in will after declare that they are
Republic ans, and so it is with Re
publicans under a Democratic ad
ministration. People serve par
ties for what they can get out ot
them. Men want Offices as well aS
influence and when you hear q
mau charge another with being
Democrat or Republican for of.
fee, your can always put 1t doWr
that there is something behind
him that prohibits him from ap
plying for an office,

Judge Miller in the Police
Court a few day. ago gave certain
officers to understand that they
could not arrest every person
whom they happen to see on the
street, as vags. This is a new
dodge that certain officers have
in order to make cases, as
we'll as making a record to enable
them to get a promotion. Judge
Miller seems to understand, and
gave them a good lecture in no
Uncertain language.

DON'T FOOL THE PEOPLE

DON'T FOOL THE PEOPLE.
There seems to be some trou-
Bile In the American Office. Edi-
tor Thornton who predicted the
death of the BEE some time ago is
about to retire: The type and
the thousands % of dollars that
have been epeut in the purchase Of
material has turned out that the
managers of the American rented
the job and newspaper type that
is owned by the Sunday Herald.
There is no use of misrepren'ing
things to the people Washington
has been seiged by just such en-
terprises,and when legitimate in
stitu,ion is started the people en-.
terrain the opinion that all are
Just alike.

NEW OSLRASs. la. August m---The CON-
mercial community uniformly approves
the action OF the clearing g-house banks in
deciding to limit cash Withdrawals to $50
per day Secretary Hester. OF the Cotton
Exchange said to-day that there was an
apparent feeling of confidence where yes
terday there had been dlstrust. Al the
Stock Exchange there was slight increase
III Crossman bonds, and operators gene
rally attributed the improvement to the
action taken Yesterday.
President Wesley of the Louisiana Ma
tional Bank, says that any businessman
with powers of analysis has known for
some time that the banks must ultimately
be driven to the action taken yesterday.
The shortage of money, he says. will affect
all interests, the rich and the poor IN pro-
portion, but he believes that the limlta-
ton or currency Withdrawals will obylate
the necessity for the suspension of work
on the part of factories and that thereby
the aborlng element will be directly bene-
fited.
President Baldwin. of the New Orleans
National. does not think the laboriug
classes will be hurt TO serious extent.
Mr.. Baldwin says the present condition OF
ainirs will continue III New Orleans so
long as Congrt s. neglects 10 take hold OF

will be restored when Congress acts de-
tinlteiy.

The action of Spectators in withdrawing
currency to be sent to other cities at pre-
MUM. and the fac. that the supply Of New
Orleans was being steadily reduced,
fastened the action of the Clearing House
Association taken yesterday IN limiting
currency Withdrawals to $50 per day and
substituting clearing house checks for cur
rency in general business transactions.

The sIin.treis Last Night.

The Barlow Brothers company gave q
minstrel entertainment at the Theatre last
night. There was very large audience
present. most of whom famed themselves
VIGOROUSLY in the upper galleries. The
performance as a whole was acceptable.
The singing. which had been announced
as an especially attractive feature of the
performance, was Disappointing. The spe-
clalties were good, but did not possess tue
charm Of novelty. Some of the gags were
new and tickled the fancy of the audi
ence. and one of the end-men (Markhem)
had q funny topical song. which was yigo-
rously applauded.
The performance OF last night was the

last nights crowd is TO be taken as a
prophecy ho has good season before him.
