The Laws OF Marriage.

There was a lady the other day in
England who liberated her soul on the
subject of the wrongs which were per-
pctratcd under the laws of marriage.
She was an ardent person, and she
could not see wrong without at
tempting to cure it then and there.
SO she devised a scheme of her own,
and she was hurt when she was
shown that her plan was practical
legalization of free love, with no re-
fuge for the woman when the man
had got tired of her. That the insti-
tutions of the day are faulty, no one
denies; and that impetuous, hot
FLOODED women would like to see the
faults mended goes without saying;
but women must remember that these
institutions are the fruit of centuries
Of experience, and were in the origin
compromises. 1t is proper. 1t is inn
pcrativc. that society should alter
and improve them bit by bit, as new
lights illumine the woIld. But to tear
them down bodily. in the hope of
building on their ruins new edif1ce
reared on theory, would be an eX-
pertinent that no sensible community
would attempt.-San Francisco ArSo-
naut.

New York, Oct 29.-Mrs. W. K. Van

winter at the marble house, in New

the Vanderbilt programme, for it gen.
orally has been understood the family

The purpose of Mrs. Vanderbilt to

there year. 1t looks as if she intends
to do this.

if the construction of the road was to-
be undertaken at an early date, Major
Hubbard replied:
The first section. extending from
Sioux FallsitO the coal fields of Wyoml-
ing about 400 miles, will be built in
the spring CT 1895. These fields, by the
way, contain in vast quantities coal
equal in quality to the best produced

tirely without coal or other fuel in any
