A European Custom which Is E1nE@a
ing Favor In New York
That weddings are fast losing their
simplicity and sentimentality is an ae-
knowIedged fact. but of late they have
done more than that-they have de-
scended to the level of the funerals
where paid mourners used to weeps
The custom has been inaugurated OF
hiring pretty bridesmaids and the
whole affair is reduced to a business
level. This has been done in this coun-
try and the idea is being taken up in
Paris and London. Paid bridesmaids is
a term calculated tc shock the aesthet-
icaIly minded, but some who assist at
the altar have an eye to the main
chance goodly sums being paid to
beautiful girls for their services at
fashionable marriages. There is one
belle who has earned sufficient to pro-
vide for herself an elegant trousseau
by thus ministering to the wants OF
ultra-fashionable brides. This girls
figure is perfection and shows of the
beauties of expensive gowns in the fin
est style, while her complexion is sur
passingly lovely and her features fault
lessly regular. So run after is she that
she can afford to turn up the nose of
disdain at any but really first-class af-
fairs, and it is becoming quite an honor
to have her name figure in the wedding
report of really influential brides.
There is another fashionable brides
maid in London-realfy a New York
maiden-who earns quite comfortable
sum by posing as bridesmaid. Her
beauty is incompatible and her figure
so fine that she always causes sensa-
tion wherever she appears in the robes
Of honor. It is no unusual thing for
her to have dozen invitations within
a week. Of course the majority of the
applicants are perfect strangers. and
frequently it is her painful duty to de-
cline to appear at second-rate we'd
dings. though the price offered is often
exceptional. a recent New York we'd
ding witnessed the satin-robed bride
attended by 10 exquisitely lovely
bridesmaids, ten of whom were paid
over $50 to appear. the costumes
works of art-being provided for the
occasion by the brides father. One
favored beauty, who prides herself on
having appeared 1t 200 weddings, issues
dainty circulars, and directly a fash
ionable engagement is publicly an
nounced forwards her prospectus to the
bride-to-be, with a goodly assortment
of press opinions, letters of reference,
etc, being almost certain of securing
an order to attend.-Chicago News

japanese Have Wild Ambitions on lIa-
waii--Are Deserving Sugar Planta-
tons to Go Into Coffee Fields.

Secretary Wray Taylor of the I'm
migration Board says that no more
Chinese contract laborers have come
to Hawaii since October.
The last batch consisting of TWEEN
ty-six men, consigned to the Oahu
plantation, arrived on the steamer
Belgic on October -. The instruc-
tons of the government restricting
all Chinese immigration to Hawaii
went into effect after the arrival of
that vessel.
The last steamer from the Orient
brought twenty-five Chinese, all hav-
ing return permits. Under the new
order of things no more return per-
mits are issued. With the Chinese
immigration completely shut off the
government has unquestionably
achieved great point in furtherlng
annexation interests.
There are number of Japanese
contract laborers to arrive yet this
year. The plantations on Hawaii and
Oahu are running shorthanded for va
rious reasons. On Hawaii a good ma
ny Japanese free laborerS have left
the sugar plantations and found en-
ployment in the coffee fields. The SUI
gar planters are beginning to com
plain of many assertions among the
contract japanese labOrers.
The men receive the same wages on
the coffee plantations as paid them in
the cane fields. Caring and picking
coffee is much easier and nicer work
and the japanese are eager for it.
Besides the Japanese are enthusiastic
over the successes attained by their
cOuOtrVmpO in coffee cultiNat ion

The COOper-Martin Case.

In the district court last Friday
Brady & Freeman, attorneys for
Anne Lyon Martin, administrative
Of the estate of Stephen G, Martin,
deceased, in her suit against .. q.
Cooper, filed an application for an
order enjoiuing the sale of a large
amount of property belonging to
the Cooper Martin Sheep company.
Judge Leslie issued a temporary
restraining order and ordered the
North western National bank Of
Great Falls, James I. Stanford,
receiver of said bank, and Kyle
Price to appear Aug. Is at 10 an.
to show why the restraining
order should not be made perma-
nent. The property involved is
several thousand acres of land in
Teton county, 17,5l2 head of
sheep and their increase for 1897,
i01 head of horses, cattle, farming
in plements, etc. Several months
ago the Northwestern National
obtained Judgment against the
Cooper-Martin Sheep company for
s26, coo. Cooper is a stakeholder
OF the company. An execution
was issued against the company's
property and the property was
sold to Kyle Price, supposed to
represent the bank, for s9,105.
Later Mrs. Martin instituted suit
against Cooper for $l4, 600, and
obtained judgment. 1t is alleged
that Price did not take absolute
possession OF the property, but
agreed to hold it until the bank
