DREssMAKERs' BILLS.
A French Story with q Moral for e.
traVagant Wives.

travagant Wives.
Following the dispute of Mrs. Cooper
Hewitt and her milliner comes the story
of a frantic discussion in Paris as to
whether a man is responsible for the
bills his wife may run up at her dress
makers, says the New York World It
has always been supposed that in such a
case as this the unfortunate husband
would have to open his pocketbook wide
and pay the amount even though his
heart-strings tugged. But the Paris
courts have said no to this, and there is
a wild stir in consequence throughout
the entire world of bodice, skirt and
coat designers. The story is a simple
one. certain Partisan manufa cturer
had a spouse who, while exemplary in
every other respect, had for two years
been running up dressmakers bill and
paying nothing on account The bill
finally assumed the amazing proper
tions of 81, 200. The husband meanwhile
was in complete ignorance of her ex-
travagance, and his first intimation of
it was upon presentation of the bill
Assuming the mastery of his household
and bidding defiance to the world at
large, he contested the claim, with the
result that the Court of Appeal cut down
the bill to 200, and decided that was all
he should pay. The arguments of the
French judiciary were that the husband
was not bound if his wife's expenditure
was out of proportion to his means and
out of proportion to the circle in which
they both lived. The crucial point in the
case was that during these two years
the dressmaker had made neither in
quiry. of nor referred to him.

Perrine, was not with her daughter
when the child was born, but has been
notified and will come to Gray Gables at
once.
Only a passing glance could be OBJ
tanned from the President yesterday af-
ternoon, but that was sufficient to note
an expression of satisfaction on the face
of the chief executive, although it was
an open secret that a baby boy would
not have been unwelcome.
The presidents family now consists of
three children, all girls. Ruth, the old
est, was born in New York after the
close of Mr.. Cleveland's first term. She
ia now about years old and is pretty
brunette much resem bling her mother.
Esther, the second child, was born at
the White house about two years ago
Esther is a blonde and is very pretty.
She is not so we'll known to the public
as is her elder sister whose pictures have
been widely published. Esther's re-
semblance to her father, however, is said
to be as striking as that of Ruth to her
mother.
Both children have been reared in
everv luxury that money and position
could command When they travel each
is attended by nurse who never allows
her charges to leave her sight. On seve-
raj occasions reports have been circu-
lated of attempts to kidnap the two little
girls, and as a consequence they are
always closely watched by secret service
men.
DIR. Bryant, the attending physician,
has attended Mrs Cleveland at the birth
of all three children and accompanied
her when she came here from Washing
ton several weeks ago. He is a resident
of New York, and it is at his home that
the president stays when in New York.

HE WANTS HOME RULE.

Rev. ]. B. Thomas of the First Baptist
church delivered lecture last night in
which he reviewed the work of the re-
cent temperance convention. He said
that he considered it mistake that the
police commissioners should be appoint
ed by the governor.
The people should be allowed to elect
their own police commissioners, and then
they will be directly responsible to the
voters of the cities. He pointed out that
the election of the commissioners would
be better because the women would as
sist in their selection.

WHEAT BREAKS.

It Closes Three Cents Lower Than on Sat-
urday.
CHICAGO, July S.-Wheat went all to
pieces today, closing at 6714 for Septem-
Der option which is 33scts. lower than
the close Saturday. There was no ap-
pearance of raiding, the market simply
being unable to take offbearinga The
opening was steady at II 1s, but prices
soon began to decline, despite the pre-
diction of frost for tonight in the spring
wheat country.
The main bearish factors were the
heavy quantities of wheat being shipped
by the exporting countries and the indi-
cations of an early movement of the new
wheat Long wheat came out in liberal
quantities and despite several reactions,
the market grew weaker until the ses-
sion closed.
