the Chinese navy. He was commander
of the Chen Yuen, the famous IRON

between CNlna and Japan. He has re-
turned to America, as he evidently
does not think well of the Chinese mil
itary and naval affairs.

larly unsuitable to shower upon bride and groom ought to have weight. The third protest is against boy pages, and the fourth against the aggravation of the offense by dressing them in theatrical costumes,
 As a substitute for these comparative ly modern and questionable features of the wedding festivities the suggestion is made that flowers should always be strewn in the path of the bride, and that slips of rosemary should be given to husband and wife as they leave the church. The significance of this old cus- tom is that rosemary was used at funer- als as we'll as at weddings, and the idea of presenting it to the newly married was that they should live together until one should lay rosemary upon the coffin of the other. In some parts of England ill the middle ages the bride was crown ed with Q wreath of wheat. As this grain is everywhere the symbol of pros perity there would seem to be poetical fitness in such garland.

ConntrolIer Finlen,s Letter.

DALLAS, July 1.-The letter in which Comptroller Finley says he declined to legalize glove contests by issuing license for the go between Corbett and Fitzsim- mons had no perceptible effect on the off ccrs and managers of the Florida Athletic club. It was not even looked upon as 8 frost" and when your representative called all was activity and hustle. The architect was present with his plans for the huge amphitheater, and the secretary was busy filing applications for seats. In response to a direct question Manager Stewart said:
 "The glove contest will take place on Oct 31. This is positive. Tho eminent lawyers of Dallas and other cities have decided this. They say that glove contests are not prohibited by law in Texas, and hence Corbctt and Fitzsimmons will ap- pear in the ring in the city of Dallas on the day set forth above.''

Wedding Customs Reform.

A writer ill an English magazine calls attention to "Some Objectionable We'd ding Customs, singling out four for special condemnation. The first is throwing the slipper after the carriage of tho bride and groom, which is de- clared to possess neither the virtue of symbolism nor antiquity. It is supposed to have been derived from German custom of the bride throwing her own shoe back to the assembled guests, but no one can say what that awkward per formance signified.

Lady Henry Somerset, in her presi- dential address at the nineteenth annual meeting of the British Women's Tenn perance association in London June II, said: "The enfranchlsement of women has now become part of the solid rock under our feet. There is no speech nor language in which the voice is not heard of this great controversy. Its gains have never been more marked than in the past two years The women of New Zealand have the full rights of voters, the women in the great state of Cobra do have the same, and in both countries it has been exercised by numbers equal ill proportion to the number of men who have voted, and with the strong tenden- cy toward home protection and the de- struction of that which disintegrates the home that has always been predicted by its advocates

A Riddle of Twin Sisters.

Lily and Rose Hohfeld are twins They were side by side at the head of the graduating class of the girls high school Equal in mental power, they are so like ill face. feature and person that it keeps their father and their teachers forever guessing which is which. Their teachers long ago gave up the riddle and now address them as ''Lily or Rose; whichever you are" Their father even is often puzzled to distinguish the girls one from the other. If he addresses one of them by name, and she declines to answer, he knows he has made a mis- take, and the girls sometimes amuse themselves with the puzzle.
 The girls were born in Oakland lit tic over IS years ago and now live with their parents at 143 Bartlett street. Mrs. Hohfeld, who is very handsome woman, ill speaking of her daughters, said that when they were attending the grammar school one of their teachers sent her a note with the request that she tie their hair with different colored ribbons in order to make their identity a little less perplexing.
 MT. Brooks, principal of the girls high school, stated that never before in his long experience as a teacher had he met with case like the Hohfeld sisters It is most unusual to find twins so men, tally and physically equal As general rule, one or the other is delicate or dis inclined to study MT. Brooks said there was only a fraction of 1 per cent differ ence ill their records, and he spoke in most complimentary terms of their de- pertinent as well as their scholarship. - San Francisco Examiner.

The Old Woman.

We arc surprised that reverend bish- op of the Episcopal church, the Rev. Dr. Cleveland CoXc, should speak of 'the now woman" as if she were an actual creature uf this day, deserving of spe- cial discussion, and according to the bishop, of particular condemnation. Neither ill the diocese of this distin- guishcd clergyman, in the western part of New York, nOr anywhere else is there such d woman.
 Women are now about the same as they have always been. They still con tinuc tu te the mothers of the race, and in spite If reports to the contrary tho early impressions of goodness derived from them arc yet prevalent. The thew woman" of whom this venerable eccle- Siastir speaks is mere creature of his imagination. Undoubtedly at this time of modern progress women ride on bicy- cles, and perhaps not always gracefully, but the exercise k useful to them. Very likely, they would present better ap- pcarance to the OnlOOker if they were less rCgardful of mere department, but as to that matter we shall not venture to offer suggestions. We do not mean to
 
 sibly VIC might hint that young women astrido of vehicle like the bicycle, travelling along open country roads, should be apparelcd ill the costume of hOrsewOmen, or ill some array construct ed according to it's general principles, especially the trousers.
 Even as it is, we are not disposed to be captiOus. These young women are better informed than we as to the proper requirements of feminine garb, Yet it occurs to us that the usual flowing robes, so admirable in public places, might properly assume ether fashions than those deemed suitable for them un- der the usual circumstances.
 But the bishop of the western diocese of New York need have no fear of the rising of a new woman. The old wom- an, who sinned ill the garden of Eden, under the temptation of the serpent, re, mains now as she has been always il the past. the mainstay of the church and the parent of the mankind for whose ralvatiOn the church was established New York Sun.

The Sultan on Racing.

"Did you ever hear the story of how the Prince of Wales asked the sultan to go and see tho Derby run?" asked Or lando Jones at the Aragon last evening. "Well, it was this wise: The race for the Derby was about to be run, and as the sultan was then visiting England the prince sent one of his lords in wait ing to inquire if the eastern potentato would not like to go and witness the classic contest. The son of the moon and stars was seated propped up by cushions smoking placidly when the royal emissary was ushered into his presence.
 His royal highness bids mo ask your majesty if it would please you to witness the race for the Derby?' said he, lowing low.
 Does his royal highness mean that I should go and see a horse race?' in quired tho sultan blandly.
 'Ho does, your highness.

Her Fishing FeatS.

Miss Fly Rod" is the fetching namo by which Miss Cordelia Crosby of Maine is known. She is the pride and boast of the Rangeley lake region, where her fishing feats have won for her her quaint pseudonym. She began life in quiet enough way as postmistress, but the physicians told her that she would net live long unless she took to the open air. Now there is not camp in the whole Rangeley district where she, her rod and her gun are not known and welcome. Her sporting attire is modest and sensi- ble, consisting of a loose waist, plain skirt, which reaches her ankles, short underskirt and tights. 'Miss Fly Rod's' most notable catch was one of 52 fish landed ill 44 minutes.

Value of Family Records,

It is the omission of some of tho sim plcst duties in life that frequently cause the most troltblc and expense. Among oth CT things the common failure to keep and preserve family records is a most prolific sour:r of regret and annoyance to many generations The fact that the simple dates of births, deaths and marriages can be four'l for only a limited number of years in thuusanIS of families throughout the country lIuthrrs courts, lawyers, fraternal sucictirs. psychologists, heirs at law, pen sion claimants and many other classes While the information concerning the past can he glcanrd only in part, and then through the expenditure of considerable money, tho present and future should wit ness a change in this direction.
 Family records should not only be kept, but they should bc preserved by all the members, because in a very few years the nearest relatives become separated forever. By slight correspondence these records could be kept up, and the descendants of tho present generation would be very thankful therefor. The past neglect in this matter is cXcusable to a large degree con sidcring tho vicissitudes in the lives of the settlers of this country, but thcro does not appear to bo any reasonable excuse for the present generation to overlook it. Let such records bc kept fully, and they will be of great value in the future and save much needless and fruitless outlay of mon- cy.-BOStOn Globe.
