GOT MARRIED FOR FUN.
Eight Young People AiIerward Find 1t
Reality.

District Judge Hamilton Of the
Eddy district recently issued an order
expunging from the records in the
county clerks Office of Eddy county,
N. NJ, the marriage record of two
couples, serious victims of mock
marriage. Testimony in the case of
two other couples was being taken
before the district attorney, with a
view to asking TIE judge to issue a
similar order.
The episode which entangled these
eight young people in the matrimonial
net has kept the people of Seven
Rivers at high pitch of excitement
for weeks past. While at a dance J..
E. Hawley, Thomas Wilson and two
other young men got into matrimon-
ial banter with their respective sweet
hearts and decided to have mock
marriage. They called upon a patri-
archal looking man in the assembly to
perform the ceremony, which was
done with due solemnity, and when it
was done it turned out that the man
who performed the rites was duly
qualified justice of the peace from an
adjoining precinct.
The girls became alarmed. Their
parents hurried them home, and next
day certificates of marriage were duly
filed by the justice in the county
clerks office. Then the parents Of
the girls took legal advice and filed
suits to have the mock maria ges
annulled.

prophet Boistored Up by the Elements.
THOMPSON prides himself on being
,yoatherwise. He tells his wife every
morning that she may expect weather
on that day. Thompson Is diplomatic,
Sowever, even when making weather
predictions, and sometimes hedges
about his prognostications with certain
nrovisions which will enable him to
maintain his sef-respect, even If his
predictions should vary considerably
from the truth. The other morning
Mrs. Thompson said:
"William, tell me about the weather;
wish to know which gown | ought to
wear in town this morning"
Tbompson gazed at the heavens and
the weather-vane.
"Well, my DEAR" said he, ut may
storm and it may not, to-day; but, If

Now, William, want positive In
formation. Will 1t be safe to wear my
blue broadcloth or must l put on my
old black gown?"
After making another careful horo-
scope of the heavens, Thompson said:
My dear, wear your DldCh gown.
You will then be safe"
Thompson started for the city. Get
ting out in the open air he discovered
evidences of clearing weather.
What II it should clear away?' he
mused. "Mirandy will jeer at me when
return. She will have lost an oppor-
unity to make Smiths wife green
with envy, for they are to meet on the
rialto at noon. However, | must face

Two hours later when the storm
burst in fury upon the city, Thompson
rubbed his hands In glee.

VAN WICK FOR MAYOR.
Democrats Pick Candidates Tor Officers Of
Greater New York.

The Democratic convention for
New York CITY on Thursday night
nominated Robert A Van Wick for
mayor, Bird S. Coler for comptroller
and Jacob c. Rupert, Jr., for presi-
dent of the council, Of Greater New
York.
The platform adopted practically
ignores the national issues, declaring
at the outset "We regard as the
supreme issue of the municipal cam
paign the Inauguration of a wise,
liberal, honest and Democratic gov
ernment in place of the present cost
ly, wasteful, illiberal and inefficient
administration"
The "prodigalty, inefficiency and
hypocrisy" of the present city admin.
istration is condemned, and it is SAID
to have produced. "a corrupt, ex-
pensive, fractions, dlscordant, intoler-
ant and incapable government, that
has impaired the credit, increased and
augmented the debt of the CITY,"
The platform declares for home
rule in city government and de-
nounces the dctation of the state
legislature in municipal affairs. Laws
that "curtail the personal liberty OF
the citizen in the practice OF innocent
customs and in the pursuit uf harm
less pleasures" are condemned and
their liberal administration is demand
ed until they are repealed.
The Raines liquor law is condemn
ed as lniquitous and intolerant, sub
versive of personal liberty and lnjuri-
Gus to business interests, while en-
couraging intemperance and falling
to suppress vice. Its prompt repeal
is demanded. Trusts are denounced
as fatal to the prosperity of the
people.

A Good Story.

I was sitting on keg of nails in a
West Virginia mountain store watch
ing native dickering with the mer-
chant over trade of a basket of eggs
for a calico dress. After some time
bargain was closed, the native walk
ed out with the dress in bundle under
his arm and l followed him.
sit isn't any business of mine," l
SAID, "but l was watching that trade
and was surprised to see you let the
eggs go for the dress"
"What fer?" he asked in astonish-
ment, as he mounted his horse.
"How many eggs did you have"
''Basketful."
"How many dozen?"
"Dunno; can't count"
"That's where you miss the advan-
tages of education. With knowledge
you might have got two dresses for
those eggs"
"But | didn't want two dresses, mis-
ter" he argued.
"Perhaps not, but that was no rea-
son why you should have paid two
prices for one. The merchant got
the advantage of you because of his
education. He knew what he was
about"
He looked at me for a minute, as
if he felt real sorry for me. Then he
grinned and pulled his horse over
close to me.
81 reckon" he half whispered, cast
ing furtive glances toward the store,
"his eddicatlon amt SO much more'n
mine ex you think it is. He don't
know how many Nv them aigs is spilled
an | do" And he rode away before
l could argue further.-B0sfon Herald

FAILURES FALL OFF,
Average For TIE Quarter the Lowest Report.
cd In Twcniy-thrcc Years.
BOOM IN ALL INDUSTRIES,

Il. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of trade this week says:
The failures during the third quar-
ter of 1897, obtained yesterday by
telegraph, were 2,9o3, with liabilities
of aS,965, 26I, of which twenty-nne
were in banking for $3,3S7,o6o.
Commercial failures, a,S74, with liza.
bllities of $2s,s76,r9a; average only
$S,So9 each, lower than any other
quarter for twenty-three years.
The amount of defaulted liabilities
is the smallest in any quarter for FIVE
years, and in fifteen years only six
quarters have shown smaller liabilities.
Manufacturing failures, 65I, with la-
bllities of $9,43I,1oI; average but
$I4,4S7 each; and trading a.I64,
with liabilities $I2, ,825 5,o65, average
but $5,927 each-both smaller in
average than in any previous year Of
which classified records exist.
The volume of legitimate business
continues little larger than in the
same month of 1892, for while the
great increase of 27.4 per cent. at
New York for the week might be sup
posed due TO speculative activity, in
spite of the establishment. and growth
of the stock exchange clearing house,
yet payments through the principal
clearing houses outside of New York
exceed those of 1892 by SIS per cent;
and two per cent for September.
Speculation in wheat and cotton
has been set back by bright crop pros
poets. The price OF wheat has de
cllned five cents and of corn nearly
two cents for the week.
Turning from speculative market:
to productive industry, the change lr
tone is striking. All industries are
lpushed to increase working force
| with occasional rise in rate of wages
| by the growing demand. This is large
| ly for replenishment of stocks, bu
dispatches show that retail trade a
nearly all northern points continue
to expand, and dealers well know
that increase of working force and o
wages ensures a larger distribution o
goods.
Slower to gain, because less affect
ed by replenlshmert OF dealers, tn
iron manufacture has been pushed t
further expansion, by growing deman
for finished products, which ha
caused a little further advance /
prices, while pig iron IS also higher.

NOT TO PAY Royalties.
Canada viii Not Charge Ten Per Cent
on Klondike Gold.

The Canadian government has
abandoned its scheme TO compel
miners going into the Klondike dig
cings to pay a royalty Of from 10 to
* per cent upon all gold mined by
them. The announcement that such
an attempt would be made called
forth vehement protests from the
politicians and business men OF the
northwest and Pacific coast, who
realized that under existing conditions
such a policy could only lend to serl-
Gus trouble and probably bloodshed.
The storekeepers of British Colum-
bia are too busy just now compelling
prospectors to buy in British territory
or pay duty to consent to any pollcy
which would cause further irritation.
Frank Oliver, member OF parliament
for Alberta, put the case against the
taxation scheme strongly before the
government, In memorial to the
ministry he said
"There is only one good point
about this proposition-namely, tnat
it is so preposterous that it will never
have any effect under the c'rcum-
stances and conditions which exist In
the Yukon, and, probably, II the
authorities ever look into the matter
they will realize this before making
the attempt to collect such a royalty
If the dlggings are not rich, this taN
would either be impossible or It will
prevent mining, and if they are rich II
would simply bring on fight IN a
region which, ali things considered
Canada could not expect to rule Dl

be much greater than the proht'

IN TERROR OF nYDROPHOBlA.
Alarming Case Of Willie Iordan's Father
Whom He Scratched.

Alarming symptoms, indicating the
first stages of hydrophobia, have set
in the case of John ]. Jordan, Of
Scranton, whose little son Willie
scratched him on the arm just before
dying with rabies in its most aggravat-
ed form, on Friday last. The prompt
cauterizing of the abraded arm just
after it had been scratched by the
dying lads finger nails was unavailing.
The injured member has kept on
swelling and growing more painful, {,
and the symptoms are such as to
cause great anxiety to Mr.. Jordans
family and physicians.
Drs. Wehlan and Brady accordingly
decided to send Mr.. Jordan forthwith
to the Pasteur Institute, New York,
and he started for there on an early
train Friday morning.
Willie Jordan was the third boy to
die out of II who were bitten. by the
same dog early in the month of
March last The terrible deaths of
the juvenile trio, and the alarming
symptoms that have lntervened since
Willie scratched his fathers arm on
Friday, have caused the parents and
friends of the remaining eight boys
who we're bitten to become almost
distracted with anxiety. 1t is, of
course, now too late for any antitox-
inc treatment to be made available
for these eight boys.
