ITO ESCAPE NOT0RIETY
The Willie Vanderbilts Chose Separation Instead of Divorce.
BUT THE SCANDAL LEAKED OUT.

And Now the Gossips of Two Continents Are Busy With the Domestic Infelicities of
 One of America's Moneyed Aristoorats.
 Ward McAllister's Opinion. 
 i At last the first breath of domestic scan dal has touched the house of Vanderbilt, and the name is on the tongues of gossips of high and low degree in two continents. The newspapers, too, are teeming with sensational stories touching the Wander bilt matrimonial infelioities, and we are forcibly reminded that tho moneyed aris- tocracy of America is successfully imitat- ing the titled aristocracy of Europe in morals as well as in manners.
 e For some time rumors have been going the rounds in fashionable society relative to the domestic affairs of MT. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt. A serious quarrel was said to be the cause of the abrupt

An excellent story is told of the late Pro
fessor Rogers and Dr. r. w. Dale, of Bir-
mingham. These two gentlemen were giv-
ing a series of lectures in Lancashire, and
at every town which they visited DR.. Dale
noticed that his colleague, who always
spoke first, made the same speech. In fact,
so often did the professor give that speech
that the worthy doctor knew it off by
heart, and this fact led the latter to think
of a way Of taking the wind out of his
friends sails.
On their arrival at town in South Lam
cashre DR.. Dale asked DR.. Rogers to allow
him to speak first, an arrangement to
which the latter readily agreed, so DIR. Dale
rose and proceeded TO deliver the speech of
DIR. Rogers, looking every now and then
with the corner of his eye to see how that
worthy gentleman was taking this practi-
cal joke. DR.. Rogers sat calm and COM
posed, and, when at length his turn came
to speak, he just as calmly rose and deliv-
cred, to DR.. Dale's utter astonishment,
quite new speech.
At the conclusion of the meeting DR..
Dale said to his colleague:
II thought l had taken the wind out Of
your sails tonight"
DR., Rogers replied, "Oh, no; delivered
that speech when was here month
ago. ."-London Tit-Bits.

The car of Russia is the richest sover-
eign in Europe and one of the richest men
in the world. The income of the imperial
family of Russia is derived from the crown
lands, which are regarded as the czar's
private estate and treated as such. They
comprise over 100000 square miles, about
one-third of the area of the United States,
and include farms, pasture or grazing land
and forests, while hundreds of villages are
built on them, the inhabitants of which
pay their rent to the czar. Many gold,
silver and other mines are included in the
crown property, and the output of these is
believed to be very large.
There are no means of ascertaining the
exact income of the car, since the imperial
accounts are not more open to the public
than the books Of a private individual, but
it is estimated by Russians in official posi-
tion at C., 10000 year, about S12, ,250, 600
OF this enormous sum portion is devoted
to the maintenance of hospitals, asylums,
churches and theaters, but the larger part
is swallowed up by the personal and Off
cial expenses of the imperial family,-St
Louis Globe Democrat

ecrable taste elsewhere After few brotsa
laws Of universal application have been
observed there remain host of minor con.
siderations which must be settled by each
individual according to her particular re-
quirements Certain persons maintain
that only dark and dull colors should be
worn in the street, because they are neat
and unaggressive. Others insist that
brighter tints are equally appropriate and
give an effect of life and cheerfulness, be-
sides being more becoming. One author
ity declares that short walking skirts are
ungraceful, unfpminine and immodest,
and only woman who is unduly anxious
to display her feet will wear them; an
other reviles long ones us clumsy and un-
tidy. A writer on etiquette states that
woman who eats in restaurant without
wholly removing her veil is guilty of q
gross solecism; another replies that as the
Encouragement of the veil involves the ad
justment of the hair it Is worse solecism
to make dressing room Of dining apart
ment. A critic Of manners contemns the
woman who slips off the hand Of her long
glove at dinner and tucks it in at the
WIlSO, dNONS Dllg ii
will strip off and draw on in public gloves
long enough to suggest hosiery. 1t is at
one time announced that nobody ought to
wear black, as it adds 10 years to the ap-
parent age. Soon after appears recon-
mendation Of black gowns as being uni
versally becoming and invariably in good
taste. All these differing opinions may be
both right and wrong, as circumstances
alter cases in every affair of life, and an
ordinarily clever woman needs only to ex-
ercise her gift of tact in order to be an au-
thority unto herself, wiser than any out
side one that she can consult.
Whether brilliant colors are in good taste
or not, they are fashionable at present.
An illustration is given Of costume COM
posed of blue and gold taffeta. 1t hasa
drapcd tunic Of blue liberty satin trimmed
with guipure. The balloon sleeves are Of
taffeta, and the bows are of gold colored
satin. JUDO CHoLLET.

Making War ON Sacred Fishes.

Perhaps the funniest thing to be told re-
specting the antiquity of fishing relates to
the holy wars which were waged in ancient
Egypt over the linny denizens of the water,
the conflicts arising from the circumstance
that, as often happened, one tribe would
insist with the utmost irreverance upon
eating up the fishes which the inhabitants
of an adjoining territory held in divine
alteration.
The child of today, in learning his alpha
bet, calls the letters by their names simply
because the ancient Phenicians were
pleased to make similar figures the SYM
bols Of certain sounds, and it is thought
very likely that the Phenicians have been
driven to invent that alphabet by the neces-
sity of corresponding with peoples of vari-
GUS tongues incidentally to the great COM
merce which grew out of the fishery
Washington star.

Oh, beautiful sunbeam, straying
In through the wide church door,
wish was with you, playing
Down there on the cool stone floor,
For am so tired of sitting
Upright and stiff and still.
And you, you 90 dancing, fitting
Gayly, wherever you will;
And you've nothing to do but glisten,
And no one is ever vexed
Because you forget to listen,
Or can't remember the text.
Dear sunbeam, I'm pondering, pondering
Were they all fast asleep, the flowers?
When you came on your bright wing1
wandering,
To earth in the morning hours.
And where have you since been roaming
The long, long hot day through
VIII you welcome the purple cleaning
That means going home TO you2
Have you been TO the river, wonder2
The river, shining and wide,
Where coots dart tlashingly under !
And water weeds rock with the tide.
Did you see the big daisies bobbing?
Were the speedwells like bits Of sky2
Did you hear the sad grasses sobbing
Whenever the wind went by2
Dear sunbeam, I'll be so lonely
When you have gone quite away,
And oven now you arc only
A faint gold splash on the gray.
Ahl at last the sermon is over;
know the text-God is Light;

One man has been discovered who thinks
that his Doctors bill is too small. He
could not believe his eyes when he opened
it and saw that it was only one-ffth Of
what he expected. Now he says he is har-
assed by two fears-one that there has
been some mistake, and that when he goes
to pay his bill he will find that the figures
have grown, and the other that his physi-
clan may think that his patient estimated
the medical services at an extremely low
valuation.-New York Tribune.

LIGHT AND SHADE.

Too deeply blue! Too beautiful Too bright
Oil that the shadow of u cloud might rest
Somewhere upon the splendor of thy breast
In momentary gloom: the molten light
That hides thy fair horizon pains my sight;
Too crystal clear thy waves that heave below
Der green rocks fathoms deep: the fringing
snow
That girds thy headland cliffs is all too white.
So as mused, sudden turn revealed
The dungeon gloom Of a cliff circled bay,
Where the sad sea, whose wounds arc never
healed,
Makes moan Of muffled thunder night and
day
And awful shadows sleep, and all things seem
Dark and mysterious as an evil dream.

MRS, HAZEN CARR.

1t is with sorrow that we CnrOnlcle the
death of this estimable woman. Martha
Eaton was the sixth III family of seven
and the youngest daughter Of Jesse Eaton
of Wentworth, N. H., in which town she
was born IS years ago the third of June
last. Her ancestry on both sides was OF
sturdy New England stock noted for their
thrift and integrity. She was married to
Hazen Carr Jan. "a, 1866, since which time
her home has been in our midst. Mr.. Carr
who was one of our foremost citizens died
Aug. 7th, 1884. The large home farm near
the Lyme road being sold soon after Mrs.
Carr moved to the village with her children.
and to speak of their dwelling place as a
model home only voices the sentiment OF
this community. But The light of that home
has gone out, the familiar form and sweet
face of our loved friend has gone from our
midst, dear mother, cherished sister,
and true christian woman, started on the
upward Journey when Martha Carr closed
her eyes in death. She was pre-eminently
home woman. and it is in that family cir
Gle that the dark cloud of sorrow rests most
heavily. The,children of the deceased
Lydia, MRS. Frank Carr Jessie, and
Charles now just on the threshold of man
hood have the sympathy of many friends.
and the sustaining thought in their sorrow
that to follow her example means reunion.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Carr went to Went
worth for short visit and while at the
house of her brother, John P. Eaton, was
attacked with one of the many phases of
Bright's disease, from which she partially
recovered, going to the home of her sister,
Mrs. Frank GOOdel, appearing for time
to be cOnvalescent. the terrible disease
however attacked her with renewed vigor,
and she quietly passed away early Saturday
morning the 14th inst, surrounded by her
family and friends who tenderly and low
ingly performed the last mipiStrarions to
their loved one Her remains were brought
to her home from Wentworth early Mon

The fragrance of such life is a divine leg
