Who Are the Two Gay SistersP


The following story was printed in last
weeks Town Topics, appearing in the
columns of that versatile and pungent
writer, the Saunterer:
There is very depressing story comes
to me from Philadelphia relative to re-
cent divorce case in that city, and it is
Illustrative of the fathomless perfidy pos
sible to woman, and the unfortunate fas-
cination that she often wields. In this
case the charmer is the wife of young
man who was in the unromantic business
of soap selling, although, let it be said,
he sold sweet-scented soap, and travelled
for very large manufacturing house of
New Jersey 1t was his habit to leave
his pretty wife in Philadelphia during
bis business trips, and being of an un
wholesome disposition, she at once de-
veloped bad habits. She met very
wealthy mill owner of South Third street,
and charmed him. He wOrshiped at her
shrine with great fervor. First he placed
her at hOtel,in company with her sister,
who was dicOrcee, and afterward he
furnished house for them. The sisters
are very clever women, and it was not
long before they got the neat sum of
$4,000 out of the ardent mIll-Owner.
They then sold all his furniture, and pre-
vailed upon him to furnish another house
for them. Matters went on in this way
for awhile, and then the sisters, finding
that they could not bleed the mill-owner
any further, gave him his congo, and
looked for new millionaires to fleece.
The soap salesman finally became &C
quainted with his wife's conduct, with
The result that he secured divorce. The
two gay sisters are said to come from

CANARY birds are often covered WIN
vermin. They may be relieved of them
by placing clean white cloth over the
cage at night, says an exchange In the
morning the cloth will be covered with
minute red spots, so small they can hard

are the parasites, source of great an
nOyance to birds.

The Workman Law.

The Ohio Teacher, in reviewing the
action of different school boards under
the Workman law, says of the Board of
this township: We notice the action of a
board in Belmont county that is worthy
of commendation. 1t resolved to appro
pirate 1920 for continuing each school
eight months in the year, to have each
school begin at the same time and to
elect each teacher for the full eight
months. The policy of this board will
attract the best teachers and improve
their schools. In that township the law
will be a success. With the policy of
those townships in which wages have
been reduced and two or three teachers
employed for each of the schools the law
will prove dismal failure,
MANY Bridgeport people have made
all arrangements for using the proposed
sewerage system, and it will be great
disappointment and expense, should the
town on Friday vote against issuing the
S25, 900 bonds.

are said to be several gentlemen in this

Sunday was the last day the Fair will
be open on the first day of the week, and
yet in spite of the fact that the weather
was fine and that the proceeds were to
go to the relief of the families of the dead
firemen there were only 5000 paid ad
missions. The total failure of Sunday
opening shows pretty conclusively what
a hold the American Sunday has on the
people.

No one not free coinage advocate Sc
riously disputes the wisdom of repeating
the silver purchase law, but if that law is
to blame for all our financial troubles
why did not these troubles occur during
the administration under which it was
enacted? If the Sherman law is to blame,
why was the depression deferred until
Cleveland took his seat? 1t does not
usually take law three years to show
its evil tendencies-in fact, the evils of
the law are the first to be shown, then
why was it thus with the Sherman law :?

WHY DEMOCRATS ARE HAPPY
And Why They viii Not Ally Themselves
With the Populists.

WASHINGTON, March 9-The official
roll Of the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives of the Fifty-thrd Congress has
been prepared and shows the following
relations OF parties In the Senate,
Democrats. A; Republicans, ss; Populist,
Indep endent and Farmers Alliance each
seats in Senate. SO. IL will be observed
that the Democrats have already an
assured number sufficient to enable them
TO tie the Republicans and third party
senators combined.
Even three vacancies in Montana, Wash
ington and Wyoming should 20 to the
former an outcome however which Is
not likely. The fact that the Democrats
did not invite any OF the populists into
their caucus is regarded as most signi-
fic mt.
IL is we'll known that the leaders of the
Democratic party have always taken the
ground that they should enter into no
affiliation with this Farmers Alliance or
Populist party. Now that they have
sufficient strength of will TO organize
without them they intend TO ask no IA
vors nor to enter into any al lance with
these political nondescripts. This Is in
accord with the wishes and views OF
President Cleveland and his administra-
tion.
Some Of these third party men in the
Senate were astonished TO find them
selves ignored. They had been hug
ging the delusion all along that
they would hold the balance of
power in the Senate, but now finding
that they are to be ignored and are not
in any sense "a factor in that body, all
that is left for them is to flock together
and discuss their hobbies to their hearts
conttnt. In the lower branch OF Congress
hs.ua rah mn ri
but still sufficient to meet every contin-
gency. Ia the House, Democrats, 2l7 !;
Republicans. 12S; Populists, 5; vacancies,
3; total House, 1856
This gives the Democrats a majority of
eight-one over the combined vote OF the
Republicans aud Populsts with three
vacancies unaccounted for.
In the Fifty.third Congress the free
coinage Democrats will find themse Ives
in an awkward attitude. They will be
unable to even prevent proper silv er
legislation.
Should the question of the repeal of the
Sherman &C u he brought before the House
the Democratic party would find it
about equally divided. The Eastern,
Middle and the larger Western states
standing together in support of the ad-
ministration in this question.
Arrayed against them will be most of
the South, Southwestern aud all of the
silver states. This will place the Repub-
lican party in a commanding position on
this issue As 1t will undoubtedly
stand firmly for sound money and
against free silver schemes.
Tne attitude Of the X, publicans in the
next Congress will therefore be one of
great importance. They will not pursue
the same course as in the late Congress
by dividing on silver. but will throw
the almost unanimous weight
of their power not only in
favor of the repeal Of the Sherman act
but for every measure presented by Pres
d mt Cleveland aud his administration.
which has for It's object sound cur
rency.

New York Market.
'Signines ex-rights.

NEW YORK, March 9-It is a waiting
market and market of single stocks.
Yesterday New England was the object
of attack. Today Reading is again the
object of the bears. The scathing
report Of President Parsons may be
actuated by existing conditions, and
probably is to some extent; but it also
savors Of personal spite, and the street is
inclined TO view it partly in the light of
a dlsgruntled complaint.
Since Friday last the banks have lost
only 81 .43l, 900 by the interior movement

The treasury gold balance is s100, 9S0, 600
The definite announcement by the
treasury that 1t will not issue bonds even
to preserve the 500. 0O0, 900 gold reserve is
temporarily looked upon AS a bear point,
but it shows that whatever the motive OF
Secretary Carlisle may be he feels that
temporary makeshifts will not aid
matters, and while his lack
of action may iniure prices now 1t will
place the country in a stronger position
later on. The banks have decided to
issue clearing house certificates, il nee
essary, aid in so doing will De able TO
tide over all monetary troubles that
bond would remedy.
