License or No License.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Dr. Newman Smyth said in his re- marks at the late dinner of the cham Der of commerce: T am no Prohibi- tionist. I lived too long in Maine,"
 This state voted 8 few years ago with a. majority of 3O,0OO against pro- hibition. In a city of the size of New Haven, prohibition could not be car- rled out. No License would mean free bums New Britain at the last election a month ago changed its decision from No License to License, with differ ence of nearly 5000 votes. Local op- tion is very well for small town There it can be carried out. For New Haven it would mean an increase in taxes and shortage of about $7,OO0 to each of the police and firemen's benevo- lent funds.
 The Law and Order League are doing good work in enforcing the existing law.

Army and Navy Foo ball. IFro1n Harner's Weeklv.1


 For reasons known to themselves, the secretary of war and General Scho- field are opposed to interacademy games, nor does one acquire a. very clear idea of the precise nature of their objections in the reading of General Schofield's flat.
 In unofficial circles at Washington reason given with great earnestness is the intense rivalry created between army and navy officers by the annual game, which last year came near, it is asserted, resulting in a duel between "a retired rear-admiral and a briga- dier-general." But this seems too ab- surd to be true, and if it is should be the surest indication of the esprit de corps the Game fosters and which is certainly desirable in the army and navy.
 s Probably the most potent argument however, flor interacademfc iath1etie contests between West Point and Ann apolis, or the one which should appea most strongly to the lsecrktaries o1 war and navy and to General Scho field, is England's example.
 The Royal Naval college at Green wich, the Royal Military academy q Woolwich, and the Royal Military col leg at sandhurst, which corresp f the United States Naval academy .

BUSINESS,

Anything that tends to define mar riage is interesting and important, as most people don't seem to know what it Is. The Supreme court of Massa- chusetts has just announced that mar riage is an affair of business, and that marriage contracts are to be regarded in the same light as business contracts. Therefore false representations by either party of facts material to the contract are to be considered by the jury when any marriage contract comes before a jury. In the case before the court there was evidence that the plain tiff represented to the defendant be- fore the engagement that she had been previously married and had lived with her husband in Spokane. Washington, and other places five or six years, and that before she left Spokane for Boston account of his bad conduct; but she did not tell that her husband procured
 a divorce from her and that the cross
 bill filed by him and on which his di- vorce was granted charged her with being woman of violent and ungov- ernablc temper and of jealous, re- vengeful, and malicious disposition, and with having, two weeks after their marriage, commenced a systematic course of violent, cruel, and abusive treatment of him. The court says:
 Mere silence on the part of the plaintiff
 without inquiry by the defendant,
 though resulting in the concealment of matters which would have prevented
 the engagement if known, would not
 constitute fraud on her part. But a
 partial and fragmentary disclosure, ac-
 companied by the wilful concealment
 of material and qualifying facts, would
 be as much of fraud as actual mis- representation, and would be, in fact, misrepresentation We think that the divorce which the husband obtained from the plaintiff, and the charges contained in the cross bill, were mate rial facts, and that, if the plaintiff knew them when she told the defend ant that she had obtained a divorce from her husband for his cruelty, and wifully suppressed them, she was guilty of fraudulent concealment and
 misrepresentation.
 This is business It is well to know that honesty in getting married is at least as important as honesty in a horse trade.

THE PRESIDEN1,S MESSAGE.

If the president enjoys writing mes- sages as much as they say he does he had a long good time in writing the one he sent to congress yesterday. It
 is a great message, as far as size goes,
 and that is its chief characteristic.
 The president has something sensible
 to say about Indians. He thinks that
 allotments of reservation lands to h.
 dians in severalty should be made slow
 ly and cautiously, and he doesn't be-
 lieve that Indians ought to do better
 in agriculture and stock raising than
 white men. He is also convinced that
 the proper solution of the Indian prob-
 lem and the success of every step taken in that direction depend to very large extent upon the intelligence and hon. esty of the reservation agents and the interest they have in their work. An agent fitted for his place can do much towards preparing the Indians under his charge for citizenship and allotment of their lands, and his advice as to any
 matter concerning their welfare will not
 mislead. An unfit agent will make no effort to advance the Indians on his reserva tion towards civilization or prep aration for allotment of lands in sev-
 crafty, and his opinion as to their con- dition in this and other regards is heed less and valueless. In his remarks concerning the tariff the president doesn't say anything about perfidy and dishonor. but he says

A Hungarian paper says that Francis Deak, the Hungarian statesman, used to get rid of troublesome visitors by telling them the following story: "Once, when in Paris Napoleon I. paid visit to hospital for old soldiers. Here he perceived among the rest a man who had lost one of his arms, and he en- tered into conversation with him.
 Where did you lose your arm?' asked the emperor. At Austerlitz,' Your Ma jesty.' Then, no doubt, you curse the emperor and your country every time you look at your mutilated limb?' Mo-
 indeed protested the veteran, for the emperor and my native. land I would readily sacrifice my other arm, if needs be- I can hardly believe that the emperor quietly remarked, and passed on. But the soldier, anxious to prove that he was in earnest, immediately drew a sabre from its sheath and Iop- ped off his other arm." Here Deak would pause and fix penetrating look on his visitor. well, what have you you to say of such man and such an action2" "A most sublime act of self.

 The recent difficulties relating to the admission of Italian wines into Ger many was caused by the character of the customs examination upon the Ger man frontier, especially with respect to the wines intended for mixing with German wines. Under the old regula- tons samples were taken from n few casks out of the entire consignment, and. having been mixed together. were tested for the percentage Of alcohol. Upon this rough-and-ready system the customs duties were levied. This re- suited in the introduction into Germany of finer wines at lower duties than ought to have been paid, and the im- perial government ordered that at least 10 per cent of the wine casks should be sampled. In consequence of this regulation, frequent complaints were made. and the government, in or der to meet the wishes of Italy. succeed ed in persuad!ng the federal council to return once more to the system of mixed samples. An English corre- spondent in Berlin declares that there Is no ground for the suspicion that vexations customs regulations were em- ployed with the special purpose of dis couraging the importation of Italian wines. which are needed for admixture with the German product The Ger man vintners. therefore, are interested directly in getting the Italian wines at as reasonable rate as possible.

FASHION NOTES.

Consideration Due for Indoor Dresses.
 From about the first of October till December is well under way most of the new designs and .contrivances in wo- mems dress are for her outdoor appar- ell. This is because the wraps and heavy goods that were laid aside all summer come out in the fall and to please the exquisites they must be so unusual as to show plainly that they did not do service in former season. Following this lead. strong demand is created for new things in all the outdoor styles, and the gowns for housewear are somewhat neglected in consequence. As it is now time to give considerable to them, a choice is made for this picture of two hand some and correct afternoon dresses. The standing figure displays one made of black and shrimp pink striped taf-

Photography does not receive any of ficial encouragement in Russia. It seems there are no photographic so- cieties in that country, nor are Rus sian contributions usually found in the internsti tional exhibitions. To become an amateur photographer in Russia 1t Is necessary to communicate with the police and obtain a license. If the photograp pher Is not discreet in what he takes" the authorities take him and keep him. It is no wonder that under such conditions, the art does not four ish taere.

 The new tower bridge of London is paved with the wood of the eucalyptus tree from Australia. The blocks are about the size of building bricks, and their top surface has beveled edges, thus affording horses foothold. They are fastened together by means of pegs put through them and fitted into corre- spending holes in the adjoining blocks. This wood is a dark, mahogany color, is very expensive but heavy and durable It was laid according to the Duffy patent system with special machinery Wood is replacing stone pavements in many of the London streets.

That even the kings who persecuted the Jews in the middle ages were oblig- ed to employ Jewish physicians is well known. A writer in the Barcelona Re- vista de Cienclas Medicas now shows from the Vatican archives that the Popes also employed them, and in re- turn protected them in holding to their faith. Angelo de Manuele, a Jew. was appointed physician to Boniface TX. and the conclave of Cardinals in 1892 Jul jus II. had for his doctor a Spanish rabbi. The Popes of the renaissance, Leo N., Clement VII, Paul III, ali en- ploycd Jews. As late as 1850 the re- ligion of the doctors was not interfered with.
