Whore Brides Arc Hungry.

How would an English bride care to
fast on her wedding day until after the
sacred ceremony, and this after endur-
ing tho hardships of farewell party
given the day before? Yet this is what
Russian girl is supposed to do. AS the
marriage, to be fashionable, should not
occur until evening, it may easily be
imagined in what an. exhausted state
she is to commence her new period Of
life.
Besides bridesmaids there are brides

sent the bridesmaids with sweetmeats.

SHERMAN. ON TRUSTS.
Considers That Question the Most Inpor.
tapt of the Day.

Considers That Question the: Most Impor-
tapt of the Day.
NEW YORK, June %. Secretary of
State John Sherman, who is at present
in New York. is quoted in an interview
in The World as saying .
s'The matter of trusts is altogether
the most important question of the day.
A mbination of persons engaged in a
common business would Seem on its
face to be fair enough matter, but in
reality sucn combinations prevent
healthful competition and control out
put and prices.
''The present national trust law (the
Sherman law is not strong enough !
framed it myself, and the senate com
mite, on Judiciary made changes in it
which materially weakened its effect !
favor making unlawful in the most
direct manner all combinations in re-
straint of trade. They put all indus
tries in the control of a few men. The
people have a right to open competition
in all industries and trades.
Restraint of trusts can be made eff.
fcctive when we can get the proper
kind of law. The supreme court has
upheld the present trust law, but has
pointed out it's defects. I think that
those defects can and will be remedied. y

Navigation on Lake Michigan Isl nsv-

NY. The first attempts at winter navi-
cation on the translake routes were
made by the Detroit and Milwaukee
Railroad company s''d by the now de-
funct Engelmann i importation COM
pany many years 80, and the success
Of winter ventures became established
as the character of the steamers was.
improved and developments were made
III marine enginery Now winter navi-
cation proceeds almost uninterruptedly,
and the new car ferries steam back and
forth with little regard for weather on
for ice. The success Of the car ferries
on Lake Michigan and the car ferry
which defies winter in the Straits Of
Mackinac is probably the cause Of the
announcement that negotiations are IN
progress looking to the construction Of
ice breaking freight steamers that will
enable their owners to keep than in
commission on the Lake Superior and
lower lake route during the winter.
The report is without foundation.
There is a vast difference between
the navigation of Lake Michigan from
one shore to the other, and along it's
west shore, and the navigation Of the
great lakes throughout their lengths
and through the interlake channels. Ice
breaking is expensive, and occasionally
the ice foes defy the crushing powers
Of the best of the SO called ice breakers.
One of the car ferries was recently stall
ed by foe near Menominee which de-
fed not only the steamer, but the ex-
plosive power of dynamite. The trouble
of winter navigation on the chain of
lakes would occur in the interlake chan
nels and in the canals. Owing to the
clogging effects of the ice, it would be
almost impossible to operate canals dur
ing midwinter.
Z Another and very serious bar to
general lake navigation in winter is the
prevalence Of snowstorms, during which
nothing whatever can be seen. Snow
is more obstructive. to the sight than
fog. and during driving snow storm
it is impossible to see any thing ahead,
even in the daytime. Winter naviga
tors on Lake Michigan, who are never
out of sight of land for any great length
of time, experience their chief annoy
ance from snowstorms. They manage
to steam into port when snow is flying
thick because of their familiarity with
the route, but they occasionally get in.
to trouble while they are wrapped in
"the tumultuous privacy of the storm y
It does not follow, by any means,
that because winter navigation is sue
cessful on Lake Michigan it can be
made successful in the upper and lower
lake service. milwaukee Wisconsin,
