CUBAN FURRY.
IntimatfOn of Possible Trouble From
Secretary AIger.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-There was
quite furry of interest in the Cuban
question in town last night when it
became known that Secretary Alger
had intimated to Capt. Taskar r. Bliss,
who will shortly go to Madrid, as mil
itary attache to the American legation
there, that it would be inadvisable to
take Mrs. Bliss and her children with
him, because of the possibility of
trouble. Lieut.. George L. Dyer, the
naval attache, also proposes to go to
Madrid unaccompanied by any member
of his family. These developments are
generally accepted as an indication
that the administration expects more
or less excitement in Madrid during
the coming autumn, or as soon as Min
lister Woodford shall have had oppor-
tunity to present the demands of this
government to the Spanish court. 1t
also developed that Consul General Lee
is expected to arrive in Washington
during the next two weeks He will
not return to Cuba. Gen.. Lees home
coming will be in season to admit of
consultation between him and Gen.
Woodford.

War on the ST Pine Tariff Rate.

WASHINGTON, July 3-The Minnesota
and Wisconsin delegations in congress are
not disposed to allow the pine tariff to rest
without a restoration of the 81 rate. Their
first effort will be to get a reconsideration
of the vote in the senate by which the duty
was cut from 81 to 81. kilograms have been
sent to absent senators who are known to
favor the retention of the duty on lumber
as fixed by the finance committee. Dispatches
are also being sent to interested congress-
men and lumbermen in the Northwest ask
ing them to return to Washington and as
sist in making fight to have the duty re-
stored. If the senate fails to reconsider,
the contest will then be waged after the bill
goes to conference committee.

OLD MARRIAGE LAWS.
Queer Customs That Obtained In Past
Centuries.

There are many curious features
about the laws of marriage as admin
istered under our early Anglo-Saxon
and Danish kings, traces of which have
survived in our existing Jurisprudence.
BY the Anglo-SaXon laws every woman
was under the care of some man, who
was termed her mundbora, or guardian:
and no one could marry her without
having first paid a sum of money as
compensation TO her mundbora.
The father, of course, was the guar
dian of his unmarried daughters; the
brother if the father died; and next to
him the nearest male relative; if, how
ever the female were friendless and
alone, she found in the king her legal
guardian. There were no runaway
matches, no clandestine and romantic
nuptials, among the Saxon people; they
did everything, even to their very love
affairs, in a plain matter-of-fact way;
they estimated the value of the maid
according TO her rank in life, and the
law fixed the sum which should be re-
garded as a legal-tender to satisfy the
avarice of her guardians. The first
step in courtship, therefore, was to buy
the consent of the mundbora; the lover
was then admitted into the society of
his ladylove, and allowed to claim her
in due course as his wife. If, however,
her personal charms or her disposition
proved, on better acquaintance, unsatis-
factory to her sutton, and he failed to
complete his bargain, he became imme-
diately amenable to the law.
If man vcntured to marry without
first having bought and paid for his
wife he was guilty of the crime of
mund-breach, the consequences of
which were both disastrous and veXa-
tious. The husband, in such case, pos
sessed no legal authority over his
spouse; he was q husband, in fact, with
out a wife: he could recover no compen-
sation for any insult which another
man should dare to offer her-she had
not been paid for--the guardian had re-
ccived no consideration; and all the
damages or fines inflicted for such an
insult were payable TO the woman )
mundbora.
If a man wished to take his wife into
n foreign part, or into another thames
land, he had to enter into a compact
with her guardian that no wrong should
be done to her, that she should receive
every mark of attention and kindness.
If a man bought a maid and paid for
her. no other could negotiate for her
purchase; but if any fraud had been
committed on her part, or on the part
of her friends, she was returned home,
and the man demanded back his money.

CHAPTER II.

Dorothy Meredith rode slowly along
the sandy shore of Gem lake, her en-
joyment of the scene subtly enhanced
by the suggestion of forbidden fruit
more distinctly in evidence with every
moment of dallying. Before her minds
eye she could plainly see her father
Tuning with impatience as he looked
for her out of the shaft-house door at
the Grubstake mine, where it had been
arranged that she was to meet him at
this hour of four in the afternoon; but.
while the troublesome vision appealed
to her sense of duty on the one hand
OH the other it but filled her with per-
verse longing to loiter.
In all Colorado she was sure no scene
could be found more wildly beautiful
than this tree-fringed water, like bit
of silver dropped down in the noun
tain's embrace, with the changing
light of a rising storm falling upon
every feature with strange transmit
ing touch. As with most happy folk,
natures somber mood was but pleas

sweet minor TO thrill her with new
delight, and her mind was simply :.
chaos of incoherent exclamation as her
glance ranged from the gray swirling
clouds TO the water making kaleido-
scopic play with the leaden tints; the
guarding trees all shivering and whis-
pering together as though in ominous
prophecy of evil, the great hills loom
ing up on every side, on whose steep
slopes seemed ranged the ghosts of all
.hc trees that had ever died, so unreal
