Not Slaves to Fashion.

New York Evening Post
The spirit Of independence is
every day becoming more and
more noticeable characteristic Of
American women in regard to dress
as well as in many other regards.
Opposition and ridicule seem rather
to stimulate than dampen the ar
dor Of women who, in the matter
Of gowning, dare to be free and are
inflexibly bent on being so. Every
woman of good sense and cultivat-
ed taste may be safely left to judge
for herself what is befitting, and
those to whom these tributes may
not be vouchsafed will, in spite of
criticism, follow their own will,
whim, or inclination.

MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES.

100 divorces have been granted in
France on the ground of cruelty;
400 for other causes.
Switzerland has the greatest
number of divorces as proportion
ed to marriages of any country in
Europe-46S to 10000.
One Greek state had law that
II man divorced his wife, he could
not marry woman younger than
the discarded partner.
Roman law allowed divorce for
three causes: the scriptual reason,
designs on husbands life and the
possession of false keys.
The marriages with the deceased
wife's sister or husbands brother
numbered in France, in 1885, 355
per 10000 marriages.
a decree was granted in Massa-
chusetts because "the defendant
keeps this plaintiff awake most of
the night quarreling."
The decrease in the price of food
during the last sixty years has not
resulted in an increase in the pro-
portion of marriages.
An Indiana applicant testified
that "my wife would not walk with
me on Sundays and pulled tuft of
hair out of my head"
The laws of most of our states
appear to show that the respon-
sibility for the marriage contract
rests on the parties themselves.
a Wisconsin man got a divorce
because his wife kept a servant
girl who spit on the frying pan to
see if it was hot enough to fry.
The average duration Of mar
riages in England is q years; in
France and Germany, %; in
Sweden, %; Norway, "a; Russia,
so.
Marriage is a contract, but differs
from all others in that it is the on
ly contract minors can make, which
in a court of law will be held
good.
A New Jersey wife got divorce
because "the defendant, the hus-
band, sleeps with a razor under
his pillow to frighten this plain
tiff"
A Virginia wife was set free be-
cause "the defendant does not come
home until 10 p. M, and then
keeps this plaintiff awake talk
ing"
A Tennessee court liberated a
wife because "the defendant does
not wash himself, thereby causing
the plaintiff great mental an
guish."
Statistics of most countries seem
to show that cOnsanguineous mar
riagG increase the number of in
sane, deaf, dumb and blind chill
dren.
In the last twenty years the
marriages in Russia have num-
bered ii 100000; the divorces, 49,
4ll,Or about one to every 1000 mar
riages.
San Francisco has the greatest
proportion Of divorces to marriages
OF any city in the world. For every
10000 marriages there are 2233 di-
divorces.
In Illinois a decree was obtained
by a long suffering husband be-
cause during The past year the de-
PENDANT struck the plaintiff repeat

HENRY TOLLE
Has Good Reasons to be Proud of
His Four Female Neices.

l.
His Four Female Neices.
About four years ago Mrs.
klumpke and daughters arrived
from Paris, France, on a visit to
her uncle, Harry Tolle, who resides
on Garden street. They made many
friends while in the city and when
they left the recollectiOns were
mutually Of pleasant character.
or the Klumpkes a very inter
esting and creditable story may be
truly told. Mrs. Klumpke was a
citizen of San Francisco, an honored
wife and mother of an interesting
family. Owing to marital differ
ences she secured a divorce and
limited alimony. One of her daugh-
tiers being crippled she took her
and family, to Germany hoping to
cure the deformity. She failed
here and then went to Paris where
a cure was effected. Then she
taught school and invested her
money in real estate that has yield
ed rich harvest.
All her daughters studied in
various lines of science and art in
Paris, and have acquired honOrs.
DOretha was an astronomer ana
was selected by the late Admiral
MOnchez as an ObservatOr at the
Paris Observatory. She was en-
gagged mainly in phOtOgraphing
and arranging a map Of the starry
armament and has secured grand
results. She recently graduated
with hOnOrs, after rigid eXamin-
alton, at the famous university of
Sorbonne, in France, with the APP
probation and commentator of
its honorable faculty. She is now
one Of the leading astronomers of
France. The Chicago Herald re-
Gently published portrait of the
lady, seated at her operator, which
shows in natural and creditable
position.
Another daughter studied paint
ing under Rosa BOnheur, and has
acquired distinction in that line.
She now resides in Boston, and is
lCSdlu dS a lc1ulbS CtI llSO vi Olldl
cultured city.
AS a female doctor another
daughter graduated with honors,
has large and lucrative practice,
and is recognized as a clever and
successful practitioner.
Music had charms for another
daughter and she studied at the
Partisan conservatism. This
daughter accompanied her mother
to San Antonio and astOnished our
local professors by her thorough
knowledge of music and her grace
full and effective rendition of the
most difficult scores, even at sight.
Few families can show such an
honorable record, and our citizen,
Mr.. Tolle, is naturally and justly
proud of the distinction acquired
by his lady nieces, even under ad-
verse circumstances.

FoREwARNED is FoREARMED.

III. P. Robinson in n. A. Review.l
Forewarned is forearmed; and If the
people of the United States are wise it
may not, in the end be an unfortunate
thing that the American Railway union
saw fit to take up the cause of the Pull
man strikers. 1t has given to the country
Representatives, it were in dress re-
hearsal-of the part which oCganlzed la
Dor proposes in the national drama, and
held, when the right time arrives. The
issue of the battle which threatens
would not remain long in doubt. The
republic is not yet in its dotage, and will
know how to cope with rebellion when it
comes. But while listening to the pleas
of labor agitatorS and the champions of
organized labor-whether in the press or
from the platform, in legislative halls or
from gubernatorial chairs-It is well that
the people should know and remember
that it is rebellion which these organiza-
tons contemplate. 1t is revolution which
they hope to attain by special means,
if may be; by force, if must.
The ear of the country is always ready
to hearken to the cry of the workingmen.
The heart of the country is tender and
quick to be touched by the tale of the
wage-earner's suffering. But the country
cannot afford to be kind or soft-hearted
to treason. Let no man f1atter himself
that theses latest strikes are no more.
and bear no deeper significance. than
other strikes which have gone before.
Former disorders have been but sporadic
outbreaks, resulting from local causes.
This last is the development of deep
which has been deliberately implanted
in the social system of the country and
has been fostsred there till it has struck
roots, which will not be torn out without
the rending of tissue and the splitting of
blood. Its existence is a menace to the
nation.

MRS. GoULD,s DIAMONDS.
Got New Necklace and Going to
Buy a bigger House.
From the Philadelphia LEDGER

From the Philadelphia LEDGER
Mrs. George Gould has new neck
lace that is positively dazzling and is
said to contain some of the finest stones
seen in England for a long time. 1t
seems when the Goulds sailed to con-
quer English society Mrs. Gould, of
course, had Jewels, diamonds and neck
laces, for that matter. These were
quite well enough for America and
Lakewood, but would not do at all for
anything SO grand as England. So the
order was given for something that was
a shade finer than any necklace that
Mrs. Gould was likely to meet, and the
result is another feather in Americas
cap.
1t also seems that we are going to
lose the Goulds-that English society
has fallen so deeply in love with pretty
Edith Kingdom, that was or she has
found them so captivating, that the
Goulds will not let their society laurels
cool, and it may be a. long time before
New York society has the chance to
take the Goulds by the hand and well
come them into the 400.
In October they may shine on the
the United States, but in few weeks
will pack UP the family wardrobe, it's
jewel cases and silver cases, cut some
more coupons and hurry back to Eng
land.

GHOSTS.

From Chambers JournaL1
When the brilliant hues of the sunsft
fade
Into amber and paly gold
When the wren and the robin sleep in
the glade,
And the shepherd shuts his fold;
When the lamps are lit in the deep, blue
skies,
And the toll of the day is done
From the shadows one by one.
The ghost of the words we did not Say
In the days forever fled,
Comes out of the shadows dim and grayI
And the ghost of the words we said,
Of the cruel word, of the bitter word,
OF the word of blame or scorn,
That was keen as the point of the -aSs
riOr's sword
On fateful battle morn.
The ghosts of the woes of age and youth.
That we passed unheeding by;
OF the griefs we did not ask TO soothe,
OF the tears we did not dry;
OF the ills of which we took no heed;
Of the grievous wrongs unfought-
Come with that of many a churlish deed,
Or of good deed left unwrought
They cluster round US, these phantom
shades, tr,
These ghosts of the days of old.
AS the cheerful glow of the dayligh
fades.
In the twilight dim and cold;
And in vain we moan, and in vain we
weep,
And we may not from them hide;
