TOO MANY MEN IN AMRicA.
The C0untry Overrun with Them, mn
Proved by the Census OF 1890.

the Country Overrun with Thens, na
Proved ny the Census Of 9
Marrying and giving in marriage Ii
purely a personal matter in this happy
land OF independ snce. Perhaps more
than In than In any other country In
the world 1t Is a matter of sentiment;
and that so may 1t be until the end OF
time is the aspiration Of all true low
ers and happy welded folk. But at
the risk Of brushing off some Of tie
bloom Of fancy from this subject, says
the Boston Post, 1t Is interesting to re-
gard 1t In the cold light of figures,
which tells what kind of an aggregate
Is made up by the individual tendencies
OF the American people coward matri-
mony. Such figures are furnished for
the first time by the ensus of 1890
former enumerations not having been
concerned with this very important
feature of the social condition of the
United States.
The first thing which catches the at
tention In the t~abulations of the census
bureau on this subject is the vast num-
Der Of young bachelors. At the age
Of "a years only 20 men out of 100
are married, and even up to thirty
years nearly one-ha1f still remain sim
gle. The women do better. At the
age of "A nearly half of them have be-
come wives, and before they reach 30
years nearly three-Quarters have found
their mates. As q rule women marry
at an earlier age than men, and this
accounts In part for the difference.
But the great fact remains that the
vast army of young men Of America
remain bachelors at an age at which
their grandfathers were the heads or
families and bound to the community
by the strongest ties known to our So
cial system.
Exact comparison Is, Of course, Inn
possible, owing to the absence Of fig
ures for previous years; but 1t is safe
to say that this habit Of tbachelOrhood
has increased and that the tendencies
Of modern conditions of life are toward
Its further growth. AS the standard
of luxury-which we have come to call
comforts raised, the cost of maintain
ing a family becomes greater and the
I responsibility becomes more fOrmida-
BILE. The young man who can support
| himself In ease hesitates to assume
greater burdens, which must involve
some sacrifice of his habits and may
bring the need of greater exertion as Q
bread-winner than he, In his bachelor
freedom likes to contemplate. And SO
the young woman, seeing new opportu'
mites Of agreeable occupation opening
up on all hands for those of her SCI
who have capacity for business, fol
art, for industry OF many kinds, may
be Influenced by greater indifference
to the sentiment which leads to mar
rage. Yet, which is the better state
IL long life is the desired thing, thess
census figures have something OF In
terest to tell the young bachelors Of
America. They show that of all thu
American men and women who have
reached the age of sixty-ive years
ninety-four out Of every 100 are mar
ried. All but six out Of the hundred
who have persisted in their bachelor
hood have dropped out of the world.

WINNIE IS A DEMOCRAT.

Mrs. Davis Denies That Her Daughter Is
 Woman suilragist or Republican.
 RICHMOND. Nov Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in A letter written to friend here, indignantly denies the report that her daughter, Miss Winnie, is a woman sutfragist and has said that she would vote the Republican ticket if she had a vote at all. In speaking of this rumor Mrs. Davis says:
 1t is false in every particular. My daughter is not in favor of woman sui frage. She thinks 1t would be a mis- fortune to our sex if it were conferred and right which it would seldom be in their power to exercise, at least in the cities. The idea of her saying that she would vote the Republican ticket is too monstrous for it to impress the majority of our people as the truth. Yet we are mortified that the allegation should ever have been made"

He Whips Charles Gehring In Two
 Rounds at Baltimore.
 BALTIMORE, N Nov. 1.-Stanton Abbott of England and Charles Gehring, ex- amateur champion of the United States, fought at the academy of music Tuesday night. The fight was announced to be Ground go. From the start Gehring began to forcs the fighting and the spec tators applauded every time he landed a blow. Abbott protected his face with his hands.
 The first two rounds looked like hon. ors would be even ut the end of the sixth round. Abbott was waiting for an opening to get in his right and led Gehring on. At the beginning of the third round he got the opening he wanted and landed q staggering blow on Behring's neck. Then he caught Gehr- ing on the point of the jaw and he went down and out.
 Gehring won the amateur champion ship in New York City last March, whipping four men in two nights.

HORSES OF NO VALUE,
The Farmers Review Gathers Some Valuable Information.
SOME CANNOT BE GIVEN AWAY.

In Spite of the Warnings From the
 Press Farmers Continued to Breed
 Cheap Animals Until They Have
 Hand aTyriads of Worthless Stock
 New Methods Must He Adopted.
 CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-The Far mers' Re- view has received the following reports from it's correspondents in 19 states and sums up the total as follows:
 In spite of the low price of wheat, the area seeded this fall will be the same as in most of the states reported, except, perhaps, Kansas and Nebraska In all of the states there are counties where less wheat will be sOwn than last year, but these counties are not numerous and are offset by counties which will sow more than the usual amount. In western Nebraska and Kansas the weather and ground are yet too dry to encourage the sower, even if all had seed to SOW, which some have not. In fact there seems good prospect that the semi-arid regions will experience dry fall, like the one last year and in that case it would be little use to sow. Some of the counties In these states will put in very large areas compared with last year.
 The corn crop Is quite generally good in hardness and dryness, but in quantity is the same as indicated by former re- ports.
 Horses are in generally good condi- tion as to flesh and health. The supply of common and poor horses is very large. In spite of the incessant warn ings of the agricultural press, farmers have continued to breed cheap mares to cheap stallions and now have on their hands lnyriads of horses 80 poor in qual- ity that no one wants them and some cannot be given away. In some locali- ties the prices are the lowest in 40 years. Few good driving horses or roadsters are reported, but q great multitude of very ordinary farm work horses and scrubs. It seems doubtful if there will be rise in prices under present condi- tions, and would indicate that farmers must adopt better methods in breeding.
 Under the influence of fall rains pas lures have revived in many places, In some places they are the best ever known. It is proving great blessing to the farmers with short hay and fod- der crops. It will give 8 bountiful sup ply of food till the frost kills it and will send the cattle into winter in better condition than usual.

PREMATURE BUT EXPECTED.

Toronto Knights of Labor Lodge Has
 Not Yet Been DisfrSnchised.
 TORONTO, Nov. 1.-The notice that the local Knights of Labor had been notified Of disfranchisement by the gen. eral assembly is premature, although they expect it every minute.
 The lodges have been denied repre- sentation in the general assembly, which is soon to meets at New Orleans. The reason assigned for this is that they are one member short of the nam Der which entities them to representation, but the local Knights believe the true reason is that the Sovereign party, who are in power in the general assembly, think they are partial to Past General Master Workman Powderly. The same feeling exists among the members in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec, and there is some talk of forming a Can adian order. if things are not made more pleasant for the members in Can. ada Should 8 split occur at the gen. eral assembly, as is expected, between the Sovereign and Powderly factions, it is generally believed that the Canadian Knights will go with the latter.

Water Discovered In B Mino That Kills
 She Thirst For Drink.
 IsHPEMlNa, Mich. Nov. IA report comes from the Ropes gold mine, near here, that at the bottom level spring has been struck which supplies strong stream of highly colored water. being nearly as yellow as gold and plainly holding considerable of that precious material in its solution. It is very palatable and ice cold. Several men working in that vicinity have been drinking the water. and it was noted that as they drank it the desire for alco- holic drinks left them, Several of the men had been drunkards, but after they drank this water the desire for drink left them entirely. It is believed that the water is 8 veritable ''gold cure." not only for the liquor habit, but for dis eases of all kinds. There is some talk of erecting huge hospital and using the waters as curoall for the ills of men
