A very lively utterance. and one well
worthy the careful consideration not only

on foot ball taken from the Journal:
1.-THE Inter-Class Football League is in
regular working order. and already sew
eral Of the games have been played. Every
afternoon one or more of the teams are on
the field practicing. Such league hal
been talked of every year for some time
but this is the first time it has ever amounted
to anything. Now, however. there is every
Indication of success. But one of the at
tendant evils is already beginning to be
seen.
1.-THE class rivalry Is strong but not bit
ter-that is. as yet-but there are signs of
a rivalry springing up which is q little
too strong. And 1t Is against this feeling
that we wish to caution the different classes.
Play as strrng, snappy football as you
please: there is no great harm even in in
Producing little vigor. But all illfeeiing,
IL any exists, should be put away with the
football suit. Class feeling is good, very
good. But class feeling and class ami
mostly are entirely different. The one
makes all Varsity successes doubly sure,
the other makes them almost impossible.
'Itmay bethat we see danger wherenone
exists. The outcome of it all may prove
us to be wrong; in fact, we hope 1t will.
and if it does we are willing to take back
all we now say. But we are afraid that
We will not be called on to do so. unless

VANDERBILT TASTE.

The newspapers of the day have been
filled for several weeks with matter de-
scripiive of every phase of the marriage
OF a young miss of 4 Vanderbilt family,
somewhat noted in this age. when money
estimating social worth.
Every article of clothing Of the young
woman has been described more or less
tudiciously. When the prospective bride
was put through her PAGES 10 prepare for
the fornialities of the wedding ceremony
not a movement was made which was not
faithfully reproduced in print and picture
Whether this was proceeding of the high
est refinement may be left to the Judgment
of a public which seems TO demand Just
such reports of the performances of the
social Four Hundred. They do these things
no better in Europe. 1t is the custom Of
the period to present in print these exhaus-
tive details of private affairs, and no one
seems 10 be SO delighted with them as those
whose names are thus brought up for the
discussion of every degree and race.
The wedding took place yesterday. Miss
Vanderbilt became Duchess of Marl
borough-present mistress of a family no.
torious for good and evil throughout long
years of history. The glittering details
of the ceremony have been published in The
Times, and may be appropriately supple
mentcd by expert testimony In regard to
the cost of the affair, which is an eloquent
comment upon the, taste which governs
snch matters in this age of cent per cent.
These are the expert estimates:
Wedding gown aud garments, s6,72O-35;
bridal trousseau, $4,000; Mrs. Wander
bits gown, $1,000; bridesmaids gowns.
So 900; floral decorations, st. Thomas
Church, $4,000; decoration of Mrs. VAN
derbilt's house, $4,000; wedding break.
fast and service, $1,000; music at church
and house, $500; Bishop LittIejohn's fee,
$500; wedding presents, S350,OOO; new
gowns af invited guests, 100000; cater.
ing, 10000; dukes wedding outfit, $3.50;
presents for bridesmaids and ushers, 81 500.
These items foot up very near to $780,
900, which will suggest to many the most
gratifying feature of the whole affair and
lead to expressions of regret that one hum
dred weddings cannot occur at once in the
Vanderbilt families, that the millions they
possess might be distributed where they
would do more good than those of the new
duchess, which will be largely devoted to
the maintenance of a useless duke in USE
less palaces.
The most peculiar feature of the ex-
penditure is that the dukes outfit cost
but $3.50. This is suggestive of much good
sense or much disagreeable poverty. The
whole performance has been highly in
structive to students of social affairs, but
even the most cynical will hope that the
young duchess may escape all of the dis
agreeable sequels which have followed soon
upon so many similar marriage contracts.

by the strange music that, although 1t at

Eleven of the twenty-five republican

Jog Missouri in the House, met in
caucus in Washington, last night, to
determine upon their action regarding
a choice for the officers of that body.
Some dissatisfaction has been expresse d
by them at the slate already made up,
which leaves the South without any
representation in the elective officers OF
the House. After considerable discus
sion it was resolved by the caucus to
stand by General Henderson, of Illinois,
for the position of clerk, and the sur
mise is that W. s. Upton, of Tennessee,
will be supported for the position OF
sergeant-at-arms. The members of the
caucus are rather chary about talking
of the results of the meeting. Senator
Pritchard, OF North Carolina, and II.
Clay Evans, of Tennessee, were pres
ent for a short time.

The LITTLE RIVER TURNP1KE.-At
the meeting of the stockholders of the
Little River Turnpike Co., held in Fair
fax c. II. on Monday, it was resolved
to throw open the toll gates and make
it free road. Oae gentleman held a
proxy to represent the States interest
(three.dfth-) but an investigation OF
the county records developed the fact
that the State had conveyed her inter-
est to the county of Fairfax many
years ago. The county will doubtless
assume control of the road in the near
future, but it is quite probable that the
houses and lots belonging to the COM
pany will first be sold Tor the benefit OF
the stockholders.-Herald.
The abandonment of toll On the Lit
tie River turnpike makes free all the
wagon roads coming into Alexandria.
This roadway was the first turnpike es-
tablished in this vicinity. On the 18th
of January, 1902, after Alexandria had
become portion of the District of Co
Iumbie, the General Assembly passed
san act to incorporate company for
establishing turnpike which came to
be called the ':Little River turnpike
road.n The first meeting was held in
Leesburg in the spring of 1902. and,
200 shares being subscribed at SO per
share, the company YVES organized.
The act authorized the company to
gather material. make bridges, pay
damages, and to take toll, but it was di-
rected that toll should cease when the
road was ont Of order. Before the
days of railroads this wss one of the
great highways of the country.

THAT THE Northern republicans have

THAT THE Northern republicans have
little or no opinion of their Southern
allies, and. like Mr.. John Wise, think
they are ''apostates for the price OF
their apostacy," is evidently intimated
b. their refusing to give them even
one of the elective offices of the lower
branch of Congress, and also by their
serious consideration of proposition TO
reduce the number ofSouthern delegates
to their rext national convention. &C.
cording to the old spirit of the country, a
Southern State should have as large q
representation in national convention
as Northern one, provided her popu-
lation be as large; such has always been
the rule with both political parties here
tofore, but the republican, being essen
TALLY a sectional party, now pro-
poses that the Northern republicans
shall have the sole aud entire control
and management of that party, and
that, too, without interference from
those who vote the republican ticket in
the South. To this, however, Southern
democrats do not object.
