THE FIRST SNoWDROPS.
Eve sat mourning all the happy past.

As Eve sat mourning all the happy past.
Her tears down dropping fast,
An angel stepped on earth To still her pain,
And after sweet discourse
Babe her take heart again
Now, since the fall in Eden grew no flower,
But thicker hour by hour
Fast fell the snow, as though to form "a pail
For earth's untimely end
And natures burial.
Smiling. the angel caught "A fake of snow,
Babe 1t take life and blow,
And as his warm breath meets the fragile Ice,
Transformed, 1t falls To earth,
A beuuteous Hover device.
"This bud an earnest be, The angel said,
'.That summer j. nut-deHd-"
And, oh! it faireT seemed To Ewes sad eyes
Than any blossom grown
In smiling paradise.
His mission done, away the angel flew,
Yet further good to do.
And. 10. when last his wings have swept the
snow
Two quantity fashioned rings
or milk white snuwdrops blow.

nnw he Spened His Name.

The late Ottiwell Wood, one of the
leading characters of New England,
was once summoned as a witness in
court. When he was called and
sworn, the judge, not catching his
name, asked him to spell it, where
upon Mr.. Wood began:
20, double t, i, double u, e. double
l, double u, double o, d."
The judge was too thick witted to
grasp the meaning of this string of
words and letters. and throwing
down his pen in despair exclaimed:

THE DIVIDED SKIRT IN TEXAS.

The City Council Of FL Paso, Tex, has
passed an ordinance making 1t a INSIDE
meanor for women to wear divided
skirts In the streets. Lone Star law
makers don't seem to have much con-
idence in the rn-de-siecle fanglements
Of woman's dress. and want the sex to
stick to the old style Of garment that
they put on over their heads. We
haven't heard that there Is any moral
business mixed UP In this measure, or
that the Ell Paso Councilmen have ex-
tended their censorship to any other part
of woman's toggery. that they have for
hidden the girls to wear Psyche knots
or the old maids to slosh around in
Mother Hubbards. and there Is only one
inference to be drawn from their action.
Undoubtedly they fear the growing i'm
portance OF womanhood and want to nip
It In the bud. as 1t were. 1t is not that
the divided skirt comes pretty close to
being a pair OF trousers and they fear
that the sex will gradually glide from
one to the other. but divided skirts are
worn by some of the English Earls' sons
who go to Texas to grow up with the
cactus and the country. and who have
the bifurcated garments they bring over
cut loose and flowing by fashionable
London tailors. For women to usurp
this baggy p~rerogative OF the males is
from the existing order of things.
Hence the ordinance against women
jumping all at once into divided skirts.

PAWNBR0KERS TAKE RISK.
Have No Right to Pledged Articles
That Have Been stolen.

Judge Bischoff, of the Court Of Com
mon Pleas. has just handed down a de-
cislon that is of particular interest to
pawnbrokers. The sut grew out Of the
arrest some time ago Of Minnie Gomez
at the Instance of Mordecai S. Kauff-
man. a Maiden lane jeweller, who
charged her with stealing watches and
chains valued at 5000. She was in
dicted, and is now on bail awaiting
tral The stolen articles were recovered
from the pawnbroters who had accepted
them as pledges, and they We're sent
to the Property Clerk at Police Head
quarters.
Kaufman, through his counsel, Messrs.
Alfred and Charles Steckler, brought suit
in the Common Pleas Court to recover
the articles from the Property Clerk and
succeeded. Thererpon the pawnbrokers
applied to have themselves substituted
as defendants instead of the Property
Clerk, so as to reopen the suit by which
the articles had been returned to Kauff-
man. They claimed that having loaned
several thousand dollars upon them
they had a right to their possession.
Ex-Judge Alfred Steckler opposed the
application. and he has been sustained
by Judge Bischoh.

A ROYAL WEDDING.
Princess Josephine Of Belgium
Becomes a Bride To-Day.
Bridegroom Is Prince Charles, OF
HohenzoIIern. Sigmaringen.
Ceremony Privately Performed in
the Palace at Brussels.

BRUSSELS. May 2S.-The marriage Of
Princess Josephine Of Belgium to Prince
Charles of Hohenzollcrn -Sigmaringen
took place to-day.
The civil wedding occurred at 10
o'clock, and .he religious ceremony was
celebrated soon afterwards in the pri-
vate chapel of the Royal Palace. The
wedding was a distinctively private af-
fair. and all the ceremonies were per-
formed within the walls Of the Palace.
The brides dress was of white satin,
with a veil and skirt of superb Brus-
sells point lace. the gift of the ladies
Of Belgium. The bodice had a fchu,
crossed in 'front.' and was encircled by
orange blossoms and myrtles. There
was a similar arrangement around the
edge of the skirt and train. Queen Hen
rietta. of Belgium. wore a pink poult
de sole, with a profusion of pink chif-
fon IN a pointed corsage. The skirt
and the drapery of the bodice were
edged with gray lace. which was caught
up at the shoulder with streamers of
pink ribbons.
The wedding gifts included n magnih-
cent tiara of diamonds and %turquoises
from the King and Queen of Belgium,
with a brooch and bracelet to match,
and other Jewels from the bridegroom
and members Of the royal family. The
King OF Roumania's wedding gift to his
nephew and niece consisted of a magnif-
cent table set Of candelabra, goblets,
Jardinieres and other articles In silver,
In Louis XIV. style. showing the armorial
bearings of the bridegroom and bride.
The gift Of the Count n Countess Of
Flanders was a large silver corbeille.
with open work border, a mirror at the
bottom and the arms of the two princely
families on two shields.
Fourteen young ladies of the titled
aristocracy Of Brussels have presented
to Princess Josephine a superb point
lace fan, delicately mounted in shell
and set in brilliants. The Countess OF
Flanders presented her daughter with
a washstand in chiselled silver, backed
with a bevelled edge mirror, the silver
framework of which represented \
garland of flowers. The entire toilet
service Is a unique specimen OF the Sill
versmith's art.
Princess Josephine is the second daugh-
ter of the Count Of Flanders, and Prince
Charles of n-Sigmaringen liz
the younger brother of the Crown Prince
of Roumania. The wedding was orig
inally fixed for May 10. but was post
poned to enable the King OF Roumania
TO attend. The betrothal was officially
announced in the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives by Count de Merode Wester-
loo, Minister for Foreign Affairs, on Feb.
/, and the prospect of such a union was
Immediately welcomed.

WHAT Is P~ART1sANsHIP

There Is some ground for Gov. Flowers
charge that the Republicans have been
TOO eager on their return to power to
seize on the profits Of Office rather than
to carry out the real lesson OF the last
election. The verdict OF the ballot-box
was not an approval OF Republican boss
ship. but a reputation OF all machine
methods and OF all boss rule. III ban
ner OF Independence was carried to the
front in the fight OF last November, not
the banner OF p~artisanship.
The last Legislature would have been
toss-ridden by Mr.. Plat as completely
as the Legislature OF the preceding year
was boss-ridden by Mr.. Croker, but for
he uarrels OF the factions. As It was,
1t passed some reform bills under the
pressure Of public opinion. and the peo-
PIE were glad enough to get them with
cut stopping to criticise the Influences
through which they had been successful.
But the ~sqLabbling and delay In their
passage, the partisan action OF the ma
tority in the Constitutional Convention
and the declaration Of the Plat ma chine
that there must be a straight Republi-
can ticket In this city next November.
all show that the Republican leaders do
not read the lesson OF 1893 Alright.
But an accuser must go into the Court
OF Public opinion as into other courts
with clean hands. Has Gov. Flower
himself manifested respect for the YER
dict Of the people rendered last Novem-
Der?
Are his vetoes on partisan grounds,
and in obedience to the dictation OF the
