To the Editor:
BY reading tho opinions OF your readers In re-
gard to taxing single men. | am reminded OF the
question that was being so freely discussed a
short time ago In reference to a young man
marrying on IS a week. / believe that the argu-
ment now under discussion presents a very good
idea OF one OF the results accruing from early
and hasty marriages. I hold that s. is not suf-
hcient to support a man and wife comfortably;
therefore when children arrive the frst question
which arises In the minds OF the father and
mother is, however are we going to live with
another mouth to feed?' Most likely an ''ad'
will very soon appear in the personal column OF
one OF the daily papers Offering a healthy new
born baby for adoption. II this Is not done, and
the children are kept home. they are half starved
and half dressed until 1t becomes an utter inpos-
sibility to support them any longer; then they are
either put in an asylum or their parents are
seeking aid from some more fortunate individual
or trying to impose a tax on those who used a
little mere discretion than themselves.

THE LEADER ON HIS TRAVELS.

Mr.. Richard Croker has left New
York to enjoy for a time n milder and
more genial climate. on n former occa-
sion, when he made n sudden trip to
Europe. IT was for the benefit Of his i'm
paired health. His many friends viii be
glad to learn that this time his depar-
ture from the city Is not caused by in

position to be bothered and worried any
longer by political complications. Physi-

from all quarters, the leader VIII find
the Pacific coast indeed a welcome haven.

a feeling of calm satisfaction will doubt

happily he has escaped the a~nnoyances
OF Senatorial Investigations and Grand
Jury Inquiries. He may experience a
mild regret an he remembers the recent
defeat of his Congressional candidate In
the Fourteenth District. but even that
mishap will scarcely disturb his rest or
interfere with his fun enjoyment Of his

HOME FOR TlLLlE MARKERT.
AZ Last Surrendered by the Ameri-
can Female Guardian society.

Title Markert, the twelve-year-old
son. n. j.. who was turned out on the
street by her father, has at last found
a home with her uncle, Charles Gross
kurth, OF 1929 Second avenue, in spite OF
the refusal OF the American Female
Guardian Society nearly two months
ago to give up the child.
Legal proceedings had been threatened
as stated in The Evening World" at
the time, but after a conference be-
tween Attorney Philip. j. Britt. who
Gerry and his agents. the child was sur
rendered. The events leading to this, II
is alleged, 20 to show that Mr.. Gerry Is
not so utterly insensible to criticism as
he sometimes claims.

SON. His wife died in 1854. and in No
vember. 1890. he remarked. The next
Christmas, when Mr.. Grosskurth took
some presents to his niece, he found she
had been abandoned. He subsequently
learned that she had been committed by
care or the American Female Guardian
Society, of 20 East Twenty-ninth street.
The Society refused to give any in
formation about the child. so an order
was secured from the Supreme Court to
examine, Its books. This disclosed that
the child had been given to DR.. Abram
H.: Stevens, of Nincland. N. j..
When DR.. Stevens heard OF the diff
Guilty he returned the girl to the institu-
tion, but still Mr.. G~rosskurth was not
allowed to get possession OF her.
Habeas corpus proceedings were
were taken which secured the child's
release.

Michigan officials stick.
nv Associated Press.

LANSING, Mich. Feb. 6.-Another sus-
~picious circumstance in connection with
the 1893 salaries amendment canvass is
that while the legislative manual of 1891
gives the vote on the salaries amend
m mt by counties, the manual for 1893
gives only the total vote-the vote by
counties not appearing at all.
Undoubtedly some one In authority Is
responsible for this departure. Gov.
Rich has his charges already prepared
to serve upon the delinquent State Of

are not forthcoming.
The usual custom in other cases of re-
movals will be followed by giving the

Corsets for the United States trade
are made to measure from models &C.
lected in the United States. French
corsets fit French women because they
are modelled from French figures, and
although they please Americans they are
far from satisfactory. Domestic manu-
factrrers were aware of this when they.
began using American women for
models in place of imported dummies or
forms. The most celebrated New York
firm makes twenty-five different sizes.
for which twenty-five differently formed
women and girls pose. In the run of
corsets for fat women there are no less
than fourteen sizes.

II is true, in ordinary cases, that a
man should not be condemned until the
evidence is all in and passed upon But
neither should he be acquitted. These
remarks are suggested by the incident of

and some m which 1t has called
forth. However. in liroCkway's case,
the extraordinary circumstance occurs
that all the evidence, both Cor the pros
