MARRYING ENGLlsHMEN.
UncOmpIimentary Picture of Americas
Girls as English Wives.

UncOTnpIimentary Picture OF Americas
Girls English Wives.
When the marriage festivities are
over, the honeymoon ended and the
realities OF everyday life on the march
again, what sort of a wife. does the
Anglo-American BRIDE develop into as
a rule? In cases where the dowry is
large and the devotion not great. this
question is of little Importance. In a
big house there is little room for
clashing, and, if the circle of friends be
only wide and lively enough. husband
and wife will hardly have time to grow
sufficiently familiar for either love
making or qurreling. Surprising, how
ever, that the husband should be so
unfortunate as to have conceived any
real affection for his bride before mar
riage, and to have evolved any hope
that she would develop into the COM
panion, friend and sympathizer who is
the ideal wife and helpmate, he is GER
tainly doomed to severe disappoint-
ment.
He will find that there is no domestic
side to his spouse's character, Neither
her education nor her life has been
calculated to encourage in her the in
stincts of the mother or the housewife.
She has no desire for children: less in
clination has she to be troubled with
them if they come. She can not be
bored with household details. She con-
fines herself to issuing orders to we'll
drilled dependents, rates all misper'
Torrance in a loud key, and checks the
bills with the acuteness of a lawyers
clerk. She has no taste for home life.
On the contrary, she counts every even
ing wasted that she spends at home,
and would die of ennui were she con
demned for long to the sole society OF
her husband.
Very quickly he will find that her
theory of life conprehends only an end
less round of gayety and a perpetual
circle of expenditure. The country is
only tolerable to her during the first
effervescence of the bridal return, when
the house IS filed as rapidly as il
empties, and the neighbors are all IN ac-
tivity to welcome the bride. But when
the long evenings set in, and it is Nc
longer possible to tear about all day,
and the landscape assumes the grey
hue of winter, very soon she tires of It
grows restless and disconnected, while
her natural y-strident voice assumes q
sharper and more disagreeable note
So, at last, the country seat is left tc
take care of itself and the couple
hasten to London, Paris, Cairo or
Monte Carlo, where she is sooD her
self again. The end of this is sure tc
come sooner or later.
The husband grows tired of the
home that is no home, the wife who is
no companion except for other people,
and the new friends whose faces there
is barely time to get to know by sight

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE
LOSSES 100000

On Account Of Undervaluations-AC Clerk
in tho ONCE in Co .luston With the Inn
porting Flrm-Discharged Employe
Squesls.
New York, April 20.-The disclosure
Of great case of undervaluation at
the custom house has caused the col
lector Of the port, James g. Kilbreth,
much annoyance. The amount of
naturalization il said to be 800, 900.
The matter briefly stated that o. L.
Sypher, the importer Of antique furni-
tures, has been importing goods at .
greatly undervalued rate. The matter
was brought to the notice Of the Gus
toms authorities through discharged
employe Of the firm, L. 81. Todd. The
case has been under investigation by
Special Deputy Phelps, who said:
''Three years ago, when Sypher q
Co. suspended, special agents suspected
that they had been engaged in illegal
practices, but they carried away and
secreted all documents in a cellar in
Mount Vernon. The customs authori-
ties Investigated the matter, but it was
never completed and the officials were
very much annoyed"
Colonel Phelps thinks efforts have
been made to stop the investigation.
The official upon whom opprobrium is
cast is said to be Eugene Honeywell.
He is said to have been in collision
with the firm. He has been in the de-
partment for Is years.

THE INCOME TAX.

Commissioner Miller Thinks It Will Bring
in Over S14,OOO,O 900.
WASHINGTON, April 20. - Commits
sioner Miller of the internal revenue
bureau has informed Secretary Car
Isle that Geographic advices received
from the collectors Of the several in
ternal revenue districts indicate that
the aggregate amount Of income tax
shown by the returns which were filed
before the 18th inst, will be about $l4,-
365, OO0 Delayed returns and correc-
tions, it is believed, will considerably
increase this amount.
The total expenditures on account of
the work, including necessary salaries
and allowances to the end Of the pres
ent fiscal year will not exceed $135. 600.
The best judgment of the treasury
officials is that, but for the adverse de-
cision of the supreme court, the amount
carried by the returns would have been
about QUO, 900, 900, which, during the
tendency of the income tax bill was the
estimate of the department.

SPANISH TROOPS.

Their Condition IL Wretched Owing to
Yellow Fever and Fatigue.
NEW YORK, April 22.-The Ward
line steamer Niagara has arrived from
Cienfugos and Santiago, Cuba. 1t was
learned from one of the passengers that
a very lively state of things existed at
the seat of war; The insurgents had a
following of 10000 men, 5000 of whom
were we'll armed. Many encounters
have already taken place in which the
government troops had been worsted.
The officials made very light of these
engagements, the passenger said, and
claimed victory wherever they had
the slightest encounter with. the in
surgents The Spanish troops lately
arrived from Spain were said to be in a
wretched state, having suffered greatly
from yellow fever and from fatigue in
pursuing small bodies of the insurgent
troops over the mountains.

ARDMORE'S BIG LOSS.

The Indian Territory Town Damaged to

ARDMoRE, I. T., April 20. Twenty
four hours ago Ardmore could boast of
being the largest and most prosperous
city in the Indian Territory. Now the
entire business portion of the city is
wiped out by fire and $50 business
houses, among which were many two
and three-story bricks, are shoulder
ing mass of ruins. The aggregate loss
entailed is variously estimated at be-
tween $500, 900 and $500, 600, with the
latter figures probably coming near the
correct amount. The insurance will
foot up to but third of the loss.

FLOOD GATES WERE OPENED.

Prayer of Evangelist Moody at Fl. Worth
Promptly Answered.
Fort WORTH, Tex. April 22.-All of
Texas has needed rain, SO the great
evangelist, Dwight Moody, called upon
his audience of 5000 Christians to pray
fervently that the foodgates might be
opened. This was at 8 p. m. Sunday.
Sunday night when the tabernacle was
crowded by 10000 people from Fort
Worth and surrounding cities Mr..
Moody announced that word had come
from several points that rain had fallen.
A few minutes later the storm burst on
Fort Worth and torrents OF rain fell.
Then Mr.. Moody gave thanks to God
and called upon the congregation to
Join in singing. The song surged forth
from 10000 voices when a
Cracking Noise Was Heard,
and then the roof sank and the rafters
gave way, and the heavy timbers and
boards, covered with tar and gravel,
came down on a portion of the congre-
CATION. There was panic. Scores
upon scores of women tainted, some
men lost their heads and piled pen nell
over those near them.
Mr.. Moody grasped the situation,
and, moving to the middle of the plat
form, lifted both hands to heaven, NOV
ing his arms to and fro. His attitude
and GOODNESS stopped the panic and men
began to go to work to rescue those in
danger. A drenching rain was falling,
but they worked hard and the wounded
were soon taken out and carried to
their homes or to the houses near by.
A dozen persons were seriously injured,
several fatally. Forty others were
slightly hurt.

LONDON, April pa dispatch to
The Times from Berlin says that The
North German Gazette (semi-othclal)
publishes an article of similar import to
that contained in The Cologne Gazette.
The Cologne Gazette said that in
view of the pressure being exercised by
the war party in Japan, Germany at
the beginning of March enjoined the
Japanese government to be moderate in
the terms demanded for peace, urging
that the cession of territory upon the
mainland of China would be especially
calculated to induce the Intervention OF
the powers. When it was shown by
the published terms OF peace that
Japan was not disposed to
Follow Germany's Advice
steps were Immediately taken to estab-
lish an accord with the powers, and a
complete agreement has been reached
with Russia and France. The three
powers, Germany, Russia and France,
will now take steps to protect their in.
terests in Western Asia. The question
of territorial changes will be first kept
in view against Japan's desire to bind
herself like solid girdle around China
In order to be able to shut off China en-
tirely from Europe. In case of need
the three powers mentioned intend to
avert in good time any injury to their
interests. 1t was added, however, that
Germany would be made to see Japan
enjoy the fruits of her military prowess

BoRDENTowN, N. j., April 20.-Mrs.
Della 7. Parnell, mother Of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, who lives at
Ironside, overlooking the Delaware
river near here, was found bleeding
and unconscious by Charles Casey. son
Of the farmer who has charge Of the
farm at Ironsides. While descending .
hill which marks the boundary Of the
property formerly occupied by Mrs.
Parnell's father, young Casey heard
the means Of some one apparently In
distress. Hurrying to the spot from
which the sound issued, he found
Mrs. Parnell lying beside the
fence with her face covered with blood.
BY her side were two small pieces Of
board. piece Of fence paling about
three feet long, and a brick. Help was
obtained, and she was carried to the
house of Farmer Casey. DR.. Ships,
who was hastily summoned. made an
examination and found that besides
several bruises about the face, the
woman had lacerated wound on the
right side of the head, from which the
blood flowed freely.
Mrs. Parnell is unconscious and be-
cause Of her advanced age, her condi-
ton is regarded as critical. The au-
thorities are unable to determine
whether she was assaulted or fell and
received her injuries. Her hand bag
was found alongside the railroad track
near by, with her pocketbook missing
and papers scattered in all directions.
This circumstance lends an active prob
ability to the theory that she was brut-
ally assaulted and robbed. Mrs. Par.
nell frequently came to this place at
night and remained until late hour.
