MARRT ron LORE, NOT WEALTH.
Dumas, the younger, has recently
received letter from young lady in
which she complains that although
she had been educated for marriage
on the most approved plan she has
been unable by all the arts and wiles
of maidenhood to obtain a husband.
Dumas in reply laments that the aim
and end of ambition of the young
woman of the present is to get mar
ried, when work is open to them by
which they might obtain an honora-
BILE and independent support. France
generally sets the fashions for all the
world and we regret to say this rear.
ing of young girls solely for marriage
has become fashion in tree Anne RIGA
where women as well as men catching
the spirit of republican form of gov
eminent ought to be distinguished for
self dependence. 1t is sad fact that
too macy of our girls are raised with
no idea of supporting themselves, are
not taught the necessary things
and equipped with the necessary
knowledge to enter the business arena
and obtain for themselves All indepen-
dent support. When they leave
school with a few drawing-room &C.
complishments they enter society and
are hurried on in its rOut and wassail
so rapidly that they have no time to
perfect their school accomplishments
into useful machinery which they can
use for their independent support.
They are taught no practical science
or useful art, they are given no lessons
in book. keeping, in any of the thou
sand avenues opened up latterly for
the occupation of woman, but they are
taught all the arts by which they can
avoid ndivid lal effort and obtain
husband, an establishment by which
they can continue in the swim of So
ciety. Neither are they taught how
to make their own clothes or how to
direct servant to cook dinner; all
they are taught is that it is necessary
for them to marry wealty man and
the arts by which they can entangle
such men in their tolls.
We do not assert that this
is general in this country
covering every class Of society, or even
all in the fashionable class of society,
for the daughters of our laboring men
are taught to be useful at home, and
that when they marry they will be

their husbands. Nor does the fashion

4 PAN no CORNER TRADE.

The aid of The STATESMAN has
been asked in calling attention of the
wholesale and retail merchants of
Austin o plan by which the mer-
chants OF this city shall receive a
larger patronage from the merchants
and citizens of all the small towns
near us. The scheme, as suggested,
is for the merchants to combine and
induce each railraad running into
Austin to run a special train once q
week from each of the towns on the
line of the respective railroads at a re-
duced fare, leaving the towns for
Austin early i'll the morning and re-
turning in the late afternoon, thus en-
abling the merchants and citizens Of
the towns to come to Austin, make
their purchases and return the same
day.
1t is said the same scheme has been
tried in other cities, notably Louis
vile, Kentucky, and the result has
been large increase of trade flowing
in to the merchants of that city.
The plan seems eminently practical
and calculated TO increase the trade
of the merchants of Austin. Not only
would the merchants of the small
towns avail themselves of these facili-
ties, but the ladies who desire to keep

yesterday of the bodies of Miss Alma

with her parents, who opposed the
match, and on Friday after luncheon
she left the house and as night came
on and she did not return, and Mr..

supposed that they had gone off to be
married. On Sunday the parents left
hoping to find their daughter in New

ON TRIAL FOR RAPE.
Rapist Massey Assaulted in Court by thu
Husband of the Murdered Woman.

Special to The Statesman.
BONHAM, Tex, March 1.-The jury
in the Sam Massey case was obtained
and sworn in late yesterday evening.
This is case where defendant is being
tried for rape. He also has two 9th er
charges against him for assault with
intent to murder, sent to this county
on change of venue from Grayson
county. This morning just after court
had been called j. w. Smith,
husband of the lady whom Massey
killed, was called to the
witness stand and just as he passed
the defendant, Smith made stroke
at Massey's throat with knife. Mas
sey lodged and had his left cheek
split open. AS quick as possible
Smith made another cut at him and
this time Massey caught it in the face
again. BY this time the sheriff had
Smith and prevented his doing fur
Their harm. Quite commotion was
created in the court room
but everything was done so quick that
no one seemed to realize what had
happened. Judge Mcclellan i'm.
mediately ordered the sheriff and
deputies to close the doors of the
court room and allowed no stranger
to enter.

i'm the swim Of fashion would come TO
Austin to take advantage of the fine
goods and fine tastes Of our Austin
merchants. Some scheme certainly
ought to be resorted to to Invite the
trade of our neighbOring towns to
Austin. These towns have not even
been made aware of the fact that we
have a number Of Wholesale mer-
chants here in every line OF goods, at
least by proper advertisements in the
newspapers of the city, and doubtless
many country merchants a.e unaware
of the fact that we have such houses

quested and add with great pleasure
that we will at all times do anything
to increase the trade of Austin mer-
chants.
The scheme proposed by a combina.
ton of all merchants would cost each
very little. Something, of course, for
the railroads would have to be com.
pensated for running special train
at minimum price for railroad
ticket to Austin and return, but IL
would be an excellent investment
as an advertisement and as
a direct factor to increase the
trade of Austin merchants. By ap
pointing an ereetic and wide awake
committee to make this arrangement
with the different railroads and by
advertising thoroughly the adVan-
tages offered by the Austin mer-
chants, there is no doubt about the
fact Chat nov era of prosperity would
dawn upon us. 1T might be made
more general than at first cOntem-
plated by inviting the co operation of
the Electric Car company, the dummy
line to the dam and boat transporta'
ton companies OH the lake, for if a
special train at small cost for ticket
ran to Austin from each town in ra-
due OF one hundred miles every week
the people of the towns and country
would come down in flocks of excur-
sionisls and more general profit
would be obtained from the money
spent by the excursiOnists. Now is
the time for Austin merchants and
enterprises of all kinds to DO adver-
tised to the world as tho dam is nearly
finished which will add so greatly to
the attractions of our city.
