An Odd Bridal Trim.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press
The honeymoon trip of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Speyer is almost as unique as that
of a now distinguished citizen of New
York who started upon his bridal tour at
the time the epizootic plague was raging.
That distemper ragged so violently among
horses that the community was compelled
to dispense with their services for some
weeks. and the now distinguished citizen
who was married at country house not
far from New York was obliged to begin
his bridal tour in an ox-cart driven by
oxen galy beribboned distance of ten
miles 70 the nearest railway station.
Mr.. and Mrs. speyer. who are touring
in the upper Pennsylvania and southern
tier region, have at their disposal two
private cars of Mrs. c. p. Huntington,
and they stop at various stations. and
then. procuring public livery teams. make
brief tours through the wild and romantic
regions Whereabouts. They are not partic-
ular to have their luxurious cars attached
to limited trains, but live in romantic
contentment even though the cars are
attached to milk or freight trains.
Mr.. Speyer has accomplished two bril-
liant achievements within twelve
month. He has secured as his bride one
of the most beautiful and accomplished
women of New York and he also planned
and carried to successful end that SEN
sational scheme for financing the Lake
Shore debt last winter by which fifty mil
lions of obligations were refunded at g per
cent, for hundred years, thus first set
ting the example for operations of that
kind which in the year has aggregated
nearly $40O0O0,0OQ

JUDGMENT AGAINST BENNETT.
Must Send William l.. Bass Around
the World Free of Expense.
-. From The New York Sun.

the W GRID Free of Expense.
From the New York Sun.
A judgment against James Gordon Ben
metz was awarded by Justice Wilmot M
Smith in-the supreme court in Brooklyn
yesterday in favor Of William L. Bass.
Mr. Bass alleged that Mr.. Bennett had
failed to make good a promise made
Through the agency of the Evening Tele-
gram. In october, 1896, that newspaper
offered to give to the person who made
the closest estimate of the plurality of the
winning candidate for President at the
election in November, 1896, a three months
trip around the world paying all expenses,
including hotel accommoda tions, travelling
expenses, interpreters, ana guides The
contest closed on Oct 81, 1896, and Mr.
Bass alleged that he came The nearest to
the plurality, and was therefore entitled
TO the trip. He wrote an estimate on a
coupon, which was received at the office
OF the newspaper, thas William McKin-
ley's plurality over William J. Bryan
would be $4,000. The real figures, he al
leges, were 597. 3S9
He purchased 30 eco copies of the paper
and cut out and filed in the coupans with
varying estimates, which were sent to the
Office. He asserted that James Gordon
Bennett failed to keep the agreement en-
tered intef and that therefore the plain
tiff was damaged to the extent of $4,000
Justice Smith gave judgment for the
plaintiff, and ordered that Mr.. Bennett
must give the plaintiff a three months
trip around the world free of all expense,
the route to be from New York to San
Francisco, to Japan, to Hong Kong. to
Singapore, to Calcutta, to Cairo, to Ma
pies, 10 Paris, to London to Southampton.

Mr.. Bass $2S.SS costs.

for the expulsion of a certain nervous en-
ergy which would ind vent in no other
way.
Talking is not only good exercise for
the mind, but for the body as well. In
fact, persons VINO do much talking in
their business or profession, such as law
yers and auctioneers, can dispense with
other exercise. For in talking they not
only eXpend much neuro-muscular ener-
gy, but they experience active respiratory
movements. Therefore, much talking is
conducive to longevity. 1t is also bene-
fetal in heart disease.
