Chicago, Oct 2G.-An Atlanta special
to the Herald says: Thomas T.. Watson
has announced his definite conclusion in
regard to the national campaign, which
is, from now to the day of election, he
will do nothing whatever All efforts of
the Democratic leaders to induce him to

stay there until the election. The fusion

Queer Bridal Costumes.

ANAAA TIC OiliNuSO Inlef-OC6du.
A singular marriage custom prevails
among the French Canadians in Quebec.
After the morning marriage service in the
church the bridal party, in caleche or
cabrioiet, make a tour of calls upon rela-
tives and friends during the day, and then
return again to church for vespers.
Before the evening dance at the brides
new home comes the supper. When the
company rise from the table the bride
keeps her seat, and some one asks with
great dignity: why does madame wait ?
Is she so soon tn bad grace?"
She replies: Some one has stolen nv
slipper; / cannot walk"
Then they carry her, chair and all. into
the middle of the room, while a loud
knocking announces grotesque ragged
vender of boots and shoes. He kneels be-
fore the slipperless bride and tries on a
long succession of old boots and shoes of
every variety and size until at last he
finds her missing shoe.
The groom Fedeems it for a good price
which is spent in treating the company
If the groom is not watchful they steal
her hat and cloak, which he redeems in
the same way; and they have been known
to steal the bride, for which there must
be liberal pay. The church forbids round
dances. The event of the evening is a iie
in which a guest volunteers to outdance
the bride. If successful the visitor de-
maads a prize from the groom.

Few Rich women Are Extravagant
From the london GRADING.


Apropos of Max Lebaudy's career, one
notes how rarely women millionaires, ex-
cept, perhaps, the Empress Catherine of
Russia, have lavished their money in ex-
cesses or foolish extravaganza. They have
endowed charities, provided hospitals, or
dispensed wisely to the needy and desti-
tute. Their entertainments and pleasures,
though sumptuous, have never erred on
the side Of eccentricfty or criminal waste,
and it would really seem as though care
fulness were a quality inherent in wo-
men. When they are extravagant they
airs usually poor, and only ruin their hus-
bands or fathers. Such magnificent ex-
travagance, for instance, as Prince Es-
teFhazy's is utterly unknown among wo,
men. This Hungarian magnate, posses
sed thirty-three carriages of state. When
he obtained the command of a regiment
he ordered all the soldiers and officers
to furnish him with a list of their debts,
and he paid them all. Nothing was too
dear for him-horses, pictures works of
art, play--in all he sought for the best,
and wished to excel. He never succeeded
in completely running his family, but he
naturally Impoverished them immensely.
Compared with him and his princely fash
ions, poor Max Lebaudy's follies sink into
comparative insignifieanee.

MALAY PIRATES OF TODAY.
sim in the Business, Bat Not Adver-
Using Ii So Much as Formerly.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
In the Malay peninsula piracy has de-
clined considerably since the expedition of
twenty years ago, but Perak, Salangore,
and RAINBOW still distinguish themselves
now and again by little undisguised bus
mess of this kind. In China two great
hotbeds of buccaneers are the places
which have been celebrated in this direc-
ton for centuries-Amoy and Canton. The
Annoy people proper. who speak the Annoy
dialect and live in the walled city, are
very quiet, peaceable, and orderly and
have pronounced antipathy for lighting,
whether on sea or Shore.
But back of Annoy is the mountainous
district of Tongan. 1t is connected with
the ocean by many arms of the sea. It's
SOIL is sterile and its resources are very
few; its people, like all mountaineeFs, are
thin, muscular, brave, and resolute. Even
! to-day they preserve a neutrality-suspicious.
of a military nature These make their
/ living by piracy. They and the men of
Canton have learned wisdom by exDe-
Renee They no longer cruise the wide
seas, attacking any craft that may come
along There are too many gunboats pa
trolling the coast-toO many rified guns
and too many yardarms. Law and order,
in the past half cenetury, have shot, shang-
ed, drowned. blown up or burned at least
day the work is done on smaller, but
far shrewder and safer basis.
AHey Keep SpleS at various pldCcS IN
their neighborhood, who report to head
quarters whenever some junk is about to
leave that has a rich cargo or carries a
large amount of money. Along with this
goes the Information of who commands
the boat, how large a crew it carries
and how it is armed. The pirates then
plan to intercept the craft in some river
or arm of the sea, or else in some shoal
water near the coast where there is no
chance of meeting gunboat, and where
after the robbery, they will have a safe
means Of escape.
Their calculations are carefully made
1 but come out right only once in four or
five times. 1t may be that a foreign or
Chinese gunboat suddenly appears upon
the scene. 1t may be that the junk that
they are after goes past their rendezvous
with a European steamer or river launch,
or mayhap the prospective victim IS de-
/ layed by adverse winds and tides, and 50
does not appear at the time and place
figured upon. When they do make a, cap
ture they are not 50 brutal and cruel
as in the old years For the rest, any
4 one who knows China and the Chinese
will not need to be told that the booty
is easily disposed of without risks or ques-
lions asked.

wHOopING COUGH CURED BY GAS.
The Treatment ResOrted To by Poor

From the st. Louis Republic.
The whooping cough season is about to

clinic at the various gas works around
town opens with 1t. The gas works clinic
is for the poor only, No special physician
is in charge, but the engineer of the puri-
flying room answers that purpose.
The purifying watts, as they are called,
large, square boxes of brick and iron, and
covered with great iron covers, are filled
with lime through which the gas is filter
ed, and 1t is this gas and lime odor COM
bined that IS considered a sure cure for
whooping cough. The mothers with their
children sit and stand around the room,
and remain for about half an hour, allow

A two-day's session is said to cure the
worst case of whooping cough. Every
two or three weeks THE watts are opened
and cleaned, and this Is really the best
time for the little coughing children to
come to, this strange sanitarium. They
are lifted over the open watts to inhale a
mixture of vapors that makes a smell I'M
like anything else one ever Sme3led before.

Before the covers are removed from the
