WHY NOT Welded.

TIVE Curious Reasons for Breaking on
an Engagement Compact.
Many marriages are sometimes de-
clared of for peculiar reasons, gen
orally insignificant, and quite as often
on account of the eccentricity OF tho
man as the woman. Only last month,
says the Detroit Free Press, marriage
in New York high life arranged to take
place was Cancelled for a very peculiar
reason. The intended bride was a
young and handsome woman, noted
among her acquaintance for her dressy
proclivities. The bridegroom, on the
other hand, had by no means a strong
reputation for being well groomed.
At IN important function to which
he escorted the young lady the tie which
he was wearing persisted in climbing
up over his collar. His fair companion,
after several times calling his atten-
ton to the fact, left him and went home
in despair at witnessing the amusing
smiles Of the other guests. subse-
quently she wrote breaking OF the
match. She could never live happily
with q slovenly husband, she explained.
A Chicago man of musical tastes
backed out Of the matrimonial bur-
gain when he discovered at an evening
party given to celebrate the betrothal
that the voice of his future bride was Of
such a pitch a. precluded the possible

Cuban Sugar and Tobacco.

The economic collapse Of Cuba il re.
vealed by few salient figures. Sugar
il the chief article Of export, and 60 per
cent of the population live on its pro.
duction. In 1894 (before the rebellion)
the total output of sugar was 1,oso,o0o
tons. This season, up to April 30, only
10000 tons have been manufactured,
and t'the total output for the year is es.
timated at less than 100000 tons" with
good luck. Tobacco, the second great
staple Of Cuban trade, is in worse
plight than sugar. The normal produc-
ton is 100000 bales; "this year will see
only $4,000 bales in the MARKET" In a
few weeks the cigar factories in Havana
will close their doors, which will throw
$4,000 men and women out Of work.

All About tho Capitol.


Charming Seabury, chairman Of the

Attorney General Childs the papers
served on him in the proceedings begun
by number of residents of Kandiyohi
county, through John F. Kelly, to pre-
vent the construction of the new CAPT.
toll building in st. Paul.
The action is based on four questions,
or four constitutional questions are
raised. Ono is that the seat of gov
eminent at st. Paul was only temper
arily located there and that for such q
temporary seat the state should only
have temporary building, whereas
the building of new capitol will be .
permanent structure and will mean the
permanent seat of government Of the
state.
In the second place, it is claimed that
the constitution provides for ordinary
and extraordinary expenses. The Or
binary expenses are for charges and
the expenses for the civil conduct Of
the state.
