Open Letter on Subject.
Ia II He Says the Young Woman
Has Given Stone His Dismissal.

New York, June 1.-THE announcement
yesterday by the Rev. DIR. John Hall,
who for thirty years has been pastor of
the famous Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church, that all is over between Miss Marie
Condo and her gallant lover, Ensign L.
u. Stone Of the United States Navy, came
in the nature of complete surprise 10 a
public which has followed the romance of
these young people with close attention
and deep interest.
DIR. Hall conveyed the information
through brief open letter, in which he
said that he knew positively the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Swift Conde did not de-
sire TO elope with the ensign, and had
so informed the young man in writing.
He had the information, he declared, from
the lips of the young lady herself They
had "a coyersation on the subject week
ago at the residence of her parents. This
was just before she sailed for Europe, and
the whole affair, il is said, was discussed
very thoroughly in sort Of family con-
clave. IL was at that time that Miss
Conde exhibited to DIR. Hall and TO her
parents "A copy of the letter of dismissa
she had sent to Ensign Stone.
DIR. Hall concluded his public announce
ment of the decision of the young lady
not TO elope with the ensign as follows:
1.-The parents have simply endeayored
TO protect her and the family-for which
they are responsible-from annoyance,
and in doing SO are carrying out her
wish.
Love is undoubtedly great power,
but it is surely part of an unmarried
woman's liberty. If she see cause to with
draw her affection. 1 write this from
my regard for a family known TO me. and
entitled TO respect aud confidence
When seen at the parsonage. 1l2 Fifth
avenue last evening, DIR. Hall admitted
writing the open letter, but would not
say that he had made Miss Condos latest
acts public at the request of her family.
nor wouid he IN any way further discuss
the matter.
Ensign Stone refused TO make any COM
merts on the clergyman announcement.

EXPENSIVE MATRIMONY.
1t Takes Money to Get Married in
Lower Canada.

The French Canadian in Quebec
finds matrimony expensive at the very
beginning, whatever it may be after
ward. On the evening of the wedding
day there is a supper and dance at
the brides new home. When the
guests rise from the table the bride
keeps her seat, and some one asks,
with great dignity:
"Why does maiden wait? Is she
SO soon in bad grace?"
She replies: Somebody has stolen
my slipper; | cannot walk" They
carry her, chair and all, into the mid
die Of the room, while a loud knock
ing announces a grotesque, ragged
vender Of boots and shoes. He kneels
before the slipperless bride and tries
on a long succession ofold boots and
shoes Of every variety and size, until
at last he finds her missing shoe.
The groom redeems it for a good
price, which is spent in treating the
company. All this is according to
the regular programme. But if the
groom be not watchful they steal the
brides hat and cloak, which he must
redeem 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,
so they content themselves with con-
ira dances. The event Of the evening
is the jig, in which guest volunteers
to Guidance the bride. If successful
the visitor demands a prize from the
groom.-Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

CANES AND UMBRELLAS.
DFsen a Source of Danger in Careless
Hands.

AAny man who feels himself i'm
PEELED to carry cane or an umbrella
mot in actual use in4any manner ex-
sept in an approximately vertical po-
sition by his side," said Mr.. Glimby,
should at once hire hall and go
there and lock himself in alone, where
he will not endanger the lives of his
fellow mortals, and where the dam
aye done by him will be confined to
the breaking of such windows as he
may stick the end of his umbrella
through in his sudden turnings as he
pnrsues his walk.
And yet, reprehensible as is the
practice of carrying a cane or UNI
lmella through the streets in anyother
than a vertical position, there are in
this acknowledgements degrees of rep
rehensibility, The least dangerous
of the wrong ways of carrying a cane
is over the shoulder, with the point
MP, at an angle of As degrees. The
man carrying cane in that manner
tnrning suddenly in crowd is not
likely to do much damage beyond
knocking off a few hats.
"a more Objectionable way OF carry
ing a cane is horizontally under the
arm, with the ends sticking out front
and back, 1t is possible for man
carrying a cane in this manner to jab
two people at once, rouse consider
able amount of i'll feeling, and per-
haps hurt somebody.
@FThe man who carries through the
streets a cane or an umbrella run
through the straps Of a valise with the
ends sticking out is dangerous be-
ing, for people cannot see the UNI
brella till they are very near to it.
They might not know of its presence
at all unless they should run over it,
or the carrier should turn when they
were close upon him.
NBut the most dangerous of all the
careless or thoughtless cane or up-
hrella carriers is the man who carries
cane or umbrella horizontally I'M
der his arm while going up stair
way; as, for example, up the stairs
leading to an elevated station. The
point of an umbrella so carried is
about on a level with the eye of any
body following close, and it is source
of great danger There is but one
thing for the follower to do if hap
PLY he shall discover the umbrella
in time, and that is to give the man
carrying it lots Of room. st. Louis

THE MODEL WIFE.
A Profound Essay Upon Subject of
Paramount Importance.

Paramount Importance.
This kind Of a person Of our ideal
is not easy found, as it takes much Of
thought and knowledge upon the part
Of man and woman to become
thoroughly acquainted with each
other way in every toll Of life.
Our writer Of this article had had
no experience as to a model wife, and
vet if he should find one it would be
a pattern for all to follow. She doubt
less would be good and kind and lovea-
bic whose house will be as handsome
as can be on the inside. She should
be ready to receive him on his retarn
and also at his departure for the city.
Then arrange your house in general,
see to the wants Of the cook and hired
girls as well as to all men about your
place. Pay all bills and run no debts
ifpossible. Don't idle away your time
making calls to see neighbors. Call
on sick and the minister. Do all the
good you can to entertain strangers
and make them feel at home. Have
your rooms swept and this is general
ly what the model wife should do.
Of course husband and wife are diff
ferently situated. Some can live in
the country while others like city.
Pay particular attention of what kind
of wife we get. The start for some
are as economical and will spend
faster than we can make. Yet, as a
rule, model wives are at ease in a way,
while others are not, SO saying.
As to a country girl for wife she
is far superior in many ways to those
who have been brought up in the city.
AS to the latter wife she likes theaters,
operas, high life, society and dress,
and out late at nights every week, and
all this that goes to make up a city
life. Whereas a country wife is
ignorant to all such and has no ad-
vantages, maybe, and they generally
make the best Of wives.
Men married, but are not repenting
at leisure. Some have no way to
either help themselves or their wives
to the road of prosperity. The So
called term cf the model wife becomes
penulous. The lateness Of the hour
has prevailed upon the drainage Of
whisky to a fabulous price.
The calculation upon the support
of our nation has been miscalculated
down to sands Of time by extravaganza
Of a failure in not being able to econo-
mise in years Of our youth. Can it be
possible to have model wife if our
husbands means are limited beyond
control, simply by pleasing self, |
trust not. A model wife should be at
the post Of her own country and if
we get only five cents though it be
small it will be 25 times that amount
if saved by industrious and thrifty
husband, who gives it to his wife to
keep for him for some day in need
