VANDERBILT WEDDING.
Curious Advertisement of an Invita-
tiOn for Sale


tiOn for Sale.
All New.York is agog over q newspaper
advertisement offering for sale an invita-.
ton to the Observation-Disclosures we'd
ding. Society people are particularly ex.
cited and those who have received cards
are wondering whether a person exists
who offers for money courtesy restricted
to select few. The advertisement is a
cold bid for cash in exchange for an ex-
elusive courtesy and reads as follows:
VANDERBILT-MAR WED.
DING-Church Card for sale for highest
dress A. B., 103 Herald.
The wedding cards, including invita-
tions to the church and the house, were en-
graved and printed at Tiffany's. They are
plain, unusually and almost severely so,
when 1t is considered that a duke and one
of the richest heiresses in the world are to
be welded. The card of admission to the
church, such as is offered for sale, or ap-
parently so, merely contains these words
in script:
PLEASE PRESENT THIS CARD
AT THE DOOR OF ST.
THOMAS CHURCH,
NOV. 6.
Necessarily the Vanderbtlts and the
Duke of Marlborough are very much
disturbed and annoyed either Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt nor the Duke of
Marlborough could be seen to-day
The suggestion that the advertisement
is hoax was accepted by many of the
friends of the Vanderbilt family. How
ever, it was intimated that detectives would
be put upon the case and the holder of any
card who did not receive 1t legitimately
will reap no benefit from 1t.

A PRETTY FACE.
a PRETTY FORM.

What an enviable COM
bination! But one can far
better be without a pretty
face than d pretty form.
But the form depends
mostly on the corset you

is a bar to a proper form,
and the greatest obstacle
to the correct fit of your

many makes of correct
fashioned corsets and have

C0ntrasted with the opinions of tae real authors ties on money. most of whom in Europe are bimetaliists, his dictum has not whit more than the value of temporary political influence.
 It may be true that the Gladstone and Balfour letters take England out of the list of nations who WJl aid the restoration of bimetallic coinage. + the fact discouraging or cheering to the friends of the cause?

 Rosy expectations of gold yields in South America do not banish the fact that there is not and will not soon be enough gold to supply the place of demonetized silver. Gold grabbing is making trouble for the nations, as it has made trouble durin twenty years. The appreciation of gold. in eompari- son with the selling prices of most staple commodities, has interfered with the exchange of products, bur. dened the solveney of debtors and 6is. eouraged the activities of useful pro. duetion. Its injustice has kept the world back, though England may have profted for the time being.
 Bimetalism will not wait for Clad stone to change his mind or for Bal- four to renew his courage. In the United States their cooperation in crushing English bimetalIists will stimulate the friends of silver, who can now well say that the time has arrived for this country to take up free coinage of silver on its own ae. eqalt and give notice to all govern. n ents that our hints will be opened a Me ratio which appears to represent con Wions as they exis St. Louis Re, Hhlic,

An Affected Earnestness That Is Really
 

An Affected Earnesfness That Is heAAg
 silly.
 The Courier-Journal, replying to some imaginary "silver freak" de- clares that the silver dollar waa mot struck down" in 1873 because there were no silver dollars then in circula- tion, the silver dollar being at a pre- mium The supreme stiffness of this kind of gibberish shows just how little thought the editor of the Courier-J our nal has given to this question.
 "Silyer was not struck down, was not demonetized by the act of 1873, be- cause it was not in circulationr' We'll, then, when was it demonetized? If the act of 1873 had never been passed would we not have free coinage of sil- yer to-day? But the silver dollar was at premium and was not in eireula- tion. So the gold dollar was at premium and was not in eircuia tion-it was at premium over the paper money of that time Accord- ing to the Watterson logic, therefore, if the act of 1873 had stopped the coiu- age of both gold and silver it would have made no difference. What every man of tolerab bly, good sense knows is that the right of free coinage gives the debtor always the right to pay his debt in the cheaper metal if one be cheaper than the other while the single stand- ard policy forces him to pay always in the dearer metal. The Courier-Journal also says that if there had been any silver dollars at that time it would have been the right policy to strike it down according to free silver logic There being absolutely no seHseiu this assertion, it is only worth wh1ie to say that the gold-bug logic was 10 demone- tize the dearer metal in 1873, and the logic would be as good to-day as if was then. Further, the Courier-Journal says that .the people of this country do not want dollar that is worth one thing to-day and another tomorrow" ana that "the only honest dollar iS the 100- cents dollar" The gold dollar, then. is the very thing that the people do not want. Measure it by anything h the world except its precious self and it's value has fuctuatea widely and violently. But the 'Only honest dol- lar is the 100-cents dollar Then thert never was, and in the nature of things never can be such thine as a dis honest dollar, for there never was and never can be q dollar that is worth less than 100 cents. for the very simple req. son that a cent is the hundredth part of q dollar. So long as the law holds good that the whole is equal 10 the sum Of all parts one dollar, whether tue monetary standard be gold, silver, pewter or paper will be loo cents. It would have been just as sensible to have said that an honest dollar is dollar that is worth two half dollars | would be ditlicult ta conceive of anything more nonsen~ieal than this effort 10 test thestability of anything by measuring 1t by itself The great value of gold dollar never changes because it is always worth loo times as much as the one hundredsh part of itself!-NIemphis Commercial Appeal.

 Eighteen Years.

Eighteen Years.
 From t1e Egsning Fs,os, Nswark, x ;.
 About eigf teen years ago, when Mrs Annie Dale, ofs5 Bruce street, was a bright, merry school girl, she was taken ill with scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was q very different girl from a physical stand point. She was cured of the scarlet fever, but 1t left her with an affection of the back. As she grew older the pain seemed to in creuse. Her sufcrings were intensified by her household duties, but. she never com plained and with one hand pressed tightly to her back she did her work about her cozy home.
 II was fourteen years old when was at taeked with scarlet fever, and have now suffered with my back for eighteen years
 Might and day l suffered It really seemed as if l must sueeumb to the pain, and then, to make matters worse, my head aehed so badly that l could scarcely see. at times. Finally l went to St. MiChaelR Hos- pital, at the corner of High Street and Cen tral Avenue and there the surgeons per formed q difficult operation on my back, but 1t did no good; 1t was like every thing else. was told at the hospital to return for an other operation, but the first had left me so weak 1 could not go back. Then again l had become discouraged and my three chil- dreu needed my attention and care at home. The pain be1ame harder to stand and my lG0k WIS almost broken, It seemed. l thought w0uld never know what it would Ha like to he sell again when l was told to trT Dr. Williams Pink Pills. With many doubts, q faint heart and an aching back I went 10 getthe pills, and little dreaming that they would prove the elixir Of a new life to me, I began to take them Only a short tiIne elapsed before 1 began 10 improve Could it be possible that Dr. Williams Pink Pills were doing what everything else had failed to accomplish 1 asked myself the question many times and before long 1 was enabled by my improved condition to an- sFer the query with an emphatic Yes Now the pain of almost twenty years is cured by these Pink Pills iu few months. l have no pain of any kind now, but l have g3t soma Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and while 1 do not think il will ever be necessary 70 use them again, shall certainly never be without them in the house"
 Dr Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con densed form, all the clements necessary to give new liie and richness 10 the blood and restore shattered nerves They are also specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as expressions, Irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale radical cure iu all cases arising from mental worry, overWafk or exeesses of whatever nature.

That Gold Mascot.

How much conscience there is in the bond syndicate is beginning to be manifest. They live up to the letter of their contract That contract is ended and we see that the precious gold in the treasury. that untouchable, sacred mascot, is permitted to dissolve away at the rate of S5, 900, 900 to S7, 000,- . GOO week to Europe. This is log ical conclusion; everyone expected it; they want some more honest mo-Sy, honest bonds and honest percentages for handling bond. They would like another a.s.o00, 900 of profits and un- ks the policy of the administration changes and a resort is had to the use of silver money now coined and bear ing the stamp of the government and under the law having the same power of redemption that gold has, permit ting it to do it's legitimate work side by side in the realm of honesty in paying debts, another bond issue will be needed to feed the divine mas cot of the treasury.

Battle of the Sleeves.

The battle Of the sleeves is on, and the issue is dou btful. The old saying, Possession Is nine points of the law" applies less to any question of fashion than elsewhere, since constant re- jection and change rule in that realm. Dressmakers declare that their patrons are tired of the balloon variety of sleeves and arc trying hard to intro duce modified style, but the trouble Is the big sleeve Is too universally be- coming to be easily given up. The fictitious breadth of shoulder gives an exaggerated slenderness to the waist which even the newest woman secretly edmires and desires.-Philadelphia Press.

A Rig Regular Army.

The mightiest host of this sortis the army of invaIids whose bowels, livers and stom- achs have been regulated by Hostotter's Stomach Bitters. A regular habit of body is brought about through using the Bitters, not by violently agitating and gripping the intestines, but by reinforcing their energy and causing flow of the bile into it's proper channel. Malaria, la grippe, dyspepsia, and a tendency to inactivity of the kidneys, are conquered by the Bitters.

 The last of the Mashpee tribe of In- dians have taken to bicycling. and If Secretary Lamont really has any de- sire to keep his western red men peaceable and happy he should send Hn expert down here to study the effect of the bicycle on the Cape Cod Indian.
 Long ago the Mashpee Indians pos sessed all the Great Neck on this reser- vatien. The largest remnant of the tribe to be found in New England, west of the Penobscot river, lives here. 1hcy are attractive to summer visitors. especially to the fishermen, because they know where the biggest fish are to be found Although they once were good fighters, it is a long time since they hav9 shown any warlite inclina- ~tions. Some of them have mingled the redIman,s blood with that of colored -Settlers by intermarriage.
 Hitherto the Mashpee bucks have been content to stick to hunting and fishing, with little agricultural labor now and then, while the women told fortunes, raised pappooses and made sweet-smelling grasses into baskets to be sold to summer visitors. But a change is in progress The bicycle has invaded Mashpee.
