The Wisdom of Wives.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
4 mans wife often knows more than he
does about great many things and, while
he need not lower himselfin in her estimation
by admitting her mental superiority, it is
sometimes well for him to recognize her
superior intelligence and profit by it. If
he is a wise man be will not be too ready
to come into accord with the opinions of
his wife, but will affect great deal Of
wisdom of his own, even though he knows
that he has none It never increases a
wifcs respect for her husband to know
that he is her inferior in anything and it
certainly does not increase her respect or
her affection to have him intimate by werd
or look that she does not know anything
at ALL
The Judgment Of the average woman re-
garding the disbursement of money is often
better than that of the average man, par
ticularly when it comes to spending money
for domestic purposes. It takes a shrewd
tradesman to get over the average sensible
woman, while tradesman finds it easy to
work off stale goods on the average man;
and the most conceited man might as well
acknowledge frankly that his wife can at
tend to most of the affairs Of her house
hold better than he can attend to them for
her Women very often have the most
acute perception regarding business affairs.
If men would only stalk business with
their wives instead Of taking it for granted
that women 'idon't understand anything
about business" there would probably be
fewer failures.
Many successful business man owes
his success to the keenness of Judgment Of
a partner whose name does not appear in
the firm or over the shop window, and who
is not supposed to have any connection
with the business, and that partner is his
wife, in whom he is wise enough to eonfide.
The exchange Of confidence and a mutual
respect for eaca Others opinions would do
much toward making the wheels Of do
nestle happiness run along smoothly.

THE OLD LOVE SONG.

THE OLD LOVE SONG.
From the Campus.
Play it slowly, sing it lowly,
Old familiar tune.
Once it ran in dance and dimplc.
Like brook in June:
Now it sobs along the measures
With sound of tears;
Dear old voices echo through it.
Vanished sith the years.
Ripple, ripple goes the love song
Till. in slowing time,
Early sweetness grows completeness.
Floods its every rhyme;
Who together learn the music
Life and death unfold
Know that love is but beginning
Until love is old.
Play it slowly, it is holy
AS an evening hymn;
Morning gladness hushed TO sadness
Fills it to the brim.
Memories home within the music
Stealing through the bars;
Thoughts within its quiet spaces
Rise and set like stars.

Tariff Bill Delayed.

WASHINGTON, Dec 6-rhe decision Of
the ways and means committee not to take
up the tariff bill in committee until Mon
day leaves the time OF its being reported TO
the house in doubt When the committee
takes it up next Monday, there will be a
general discussion of its provisions, and
the Republicans may decide TO offer amend
ments
The Democrats of the committee have
been consulting, and while no agreement
has been reached there seems to be a tacit
understanding that the bill, even if report
ed before the holidays. will not now be
called up for consideration until after the
holiday recess.
The Republicans feel that they have won
a victory in securing the time asked to con-
slider the bill. They have been furnished
with all the tables and comparisons with
the Mckinley law and will probably have
several meetings between now aud Monday
to consider what action they will take
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, member
of the committee, raised point which will
be considered by the committee. The new
bill puts petroleum on the free list. The
present law does not include petroleum,
but il is classed as distilled oil. In this
particular the new bill copies the present
| law. Mr.. McAlillin says that it was the in
/ tention of the committee place petroleum
on the free list. Mr.. Dalzell says that if
this is done it will break every oil man in

Little business In Either House.

WAsHINGTON, Dec. 6.-In the senate al
most the entire time OF the session was oc-
cupied by Senator Dolph of Oregon in a
speech against what is understood TO be
the policy of the administration in the Ha-
waiian matter. lie characterized it as a
crime against civilization and was severe
in his criticism of the president.
The session was brought to a close early
in the day by the presentation Of resolu-
tions relative to Hon. Charles O'Neill the
late representative from Pennsylvania, in
respect to whose memory an adjournment
was had
The second day Of the session Of the house
was dismally dull. Not a spark of interest
enlivened the proceedings. The only thing
of moment accomplished, beyond the pass
ing of several small bills affecting land
titles in the far west, was an agreement to
close the general debate on the bankruptcy
bill today. This materially advances the
parliamentary stage of the bill As soon
as general debate closes the bill will be
open to argument and debate under the
five minute rule. Colonel Oates, in charge,
is anxious TO bring the bill to a vote, and
with general debate at an end he expresses
himself as confident of succeeding before
the tariff or something else Of more urgent
importance sidetracks it.

GEORGE GOULD SUED.
The Plaintiff Is Pretty Grass widow who
Wants $4,000.

NEW YORK, Dec CA mysterious claim
against George j. Gould has become pub
lie through the appointment 10y Judge Nc
Adam OF a guardian ad litem for a young
woman who intends TO bring suit against
him. Not being of legal age, she cannot
sue in her own name, and she consequently
applied for "a guardian as the preliminary
step IN the proceeding.
Her lawyers, Howe g. Hummel, were adj
verse to having any feature of the case
made public They had taken unusual
precautions 20 have their application es-
cape attention.
Mr.. Hummel, when questioned about the
case, expressed great surprise that 10 had
become public.

I'm justice to my client and in justice TO

facts become public now, they must come
from Mr.. Gould. He has not even been
served with a summons and complaint in
the suit. Until the case comes out in the
regular channels can say nothing"
The papers that became part of the court
record We're very carefully drawn, if the in
tention was to conceal the facts The usu-
al formality Of giving the address of the
guardian bad been omitted.
Neither his name nor that Of his ward
appears in the city directory, and the ua-
ture of the claim was indicated merely by
a hint. George j. Gould, it appeared, gave
a cheek of his own to Mrs. Zella Nicoiaus
last March. IL was for the sum of $4,000
