COST OF A eATANaA WIFE.
Extravaganza of Young Man Mat
rimonially Inclined.


rimonialIy Inclined.
There is a list of goods which was
recently paid by young man in our
employ to father-in-law who had an
eye for business before the young man
secured his wife, says the Church at
Home and Abroad, And the time will
never come when his father-in-law will
not regard it as his perfect right to ask
his son-in-law for anything more he
may want. The list is thus: Eighty
neptunes, five guns, 80 marks (about$s)
worth of cloth, three goats, five cases of
gin, three kegs of powder, two zinc
trunks, two umbrellas, one coat, two
chairs, two tall hats, three felt hats,
one flag, four shirts, one tin of sugar,
eight drinking glasses, 10 plates, one
lamp, two brass kettles, four small iron
pots, one knife, rs pipes, two jugs, one
large iron pot, 30 brass wires, four pairs
of SCISSORS and about % marks in cash
(S5.75).
Quite long, costly list for this coun-
try, when it is remembered that this
young man receives but 20 marks
(about $5) per month for his wages,
upon which he must Globe himself as
we'll as divide with others. When the
father-in-law concludes that the son-in-
law has paid him enough, for the time
being, for his daughter, then he gives
her over to the, young man, and she be-
comes his wife

Important Surveys of the Yukon and

Important Surveys of the Yukon and
Surrounding Country to BE Made.
The United States geodetic survey
ship Macarthur has been ordered to
Alaskan waters and with the opening
of spring will head for the Yukon river,
there to remain until a series of i'm
portant surveys have been accomplished
and thorough study of the country
made. The Macarthur lies on the ways
at the Hay & Wright ship yards at Oak
land, Cal, receiving repairs, but will
soon be in readiness for active service.
Capt. L. Wilhelms, in charge of the
ship, under instructions from the navy
department at Washington, has secured
bids for towing small stern wheel
steamer TO the mouth of the Yukon to
aid in the surveying work and to serve
for the navigation of rivers too shallow
for the Macarthur.
The Macarthur will work up the Alas
kan coast, taking observations until the
mouth of the Yukon is reached. Then
the stern wheeler will be brought into
use and the crew and officers will go up
the Yukon as far as possible, carefully
surveying the country and preparing
charts fora new governmental map of the
1 district.

REVELRY In A BREW cry.
Novel Banquet Of Cincinnati Yale
Club in Malt Cellar.
Menu Consisted of Broiled Beefsteak,
Baked Potatoes and Schooners
of Beer-SonE and Stories
the Ente rtainment.

Some 40 members of the Yale club Of
Cincinnati, o., enjoyed rather unique
dinner on Saturday evening. 1t was
served in the malt cellar of Kauffman's
brewery and in true bohemian style.
The bill of fare comprised such tooth
some edibles as broiled heefsteal1, baked
potatoes, and quail, with lettuce salad
by way of aiding digestion, and cool
beer as the beverage. Thewaiters were
hands selected from the brewery, and
their uniform was the blouse and over
alls worn in their daily duties.
The dinner was served promptly at
$50, and amid such surroundings as
those present will not soon forget.
Down deep under the earth and sur
rounded by cold. black walls, the ban
quet hall was at first anything but in
vitng. The pickering lights seemed at
first but to intensity the general gloom
of the cellar, but this sense of discom-
fort was soon dispelled by the pleasing
fumes of broiling steak and baking po-
tatoes that greeted the sense of smell
after moments stay The tables were
not over fancy, while the participants
had to be content with beer kegs for
chairs.
Mr.. Frank shaffer, president of the
club, acted as master of ceremonies, and
after full justice had been done the bo-
| hemian repast he announced that the
programme should be as original as the
occasion itself. Each person present
would be required to either tell story
or sing song. And these, if not orig
inal, must be new. The penalty fixed
for telling a story or singing song
that anyone present had heard before
would be the telling or singing of an
other, and so on until something new
had been presented. Some of those
present got along we'll enough under
this rule, but one poor individual, whose
name is withheld for obvious reasons
was kept on his feet nearly an hour
telling tales and singing songs. When
all had had turn all joined in number
of old Yale songs and then adjourned
before the clock struck H.
The Yale club has no regular meet
ings except that once a year there is
an annual dinner, at which the old col.
lege days are recalled and fraternal
ties renewed. Saturday nights affair
was not the annual dinner. That will
be held later. 1t was merely meeting
to have good time and enjoy one more
night in bohemia.

New Automatic Elevator.

An elevator that can be run without
any attendants being puton the market
by the Elektron Manufacturing COM
pany of Springfield, Mass. 1t is oper-
ated by pressing button and setting
a pointer at n figure on a dial, which in
dicates the number of the floor to which
the passenger wishes to be carried.
The door to the we'll can be opened only
when the elevator is at that landing,
so that no one can walk into the well,
OF be hit by descending elevator while
looking into the well. The elevator
cannot be operated if a single door is
unattached. The elevator is called by
pressing a button near the door, but il
will come only if it is not in use.

Purchasing Large Tracts of Land I'm
State of chihuahua.
1t is announced at chihuahua, Mexico,
that representatives of the Mormon
church of Utah have contracted with
the Mexican government for the pur-
chase of 100000 acres of land, situated
in the Degollado district of that state.
1t is the intention of the church to locate
10000 Mormon colonists on this land
within the next two years. Many of the
colonists will come direct from Utah,
but the greater number will be new
converts to the Mormon faith from diff
ferent parts of the United States. There
are already two prosperous Mormon
colonies in chihuahua, aggregating s.
900 persons The 100000 acres just
purchased will all be placed under irri-
cation and divided into small farmin g
tracts

BAN PLACED ON SMOKING.

University Students Asked to Abstain
Abont Entrances of College Halls.
Smoking has fallen under the ban of
the faculty of the University of Chi
cago. That august body has decided
that the practice, said to have been in
troduced into civilized countries by Sir
Walter Raleigh, is nuisance, and must
therefore cease around the entrances to
the varsity buildings.
The announcement of the decision of
the faculty was made to the students
the other day when there was posted in
front of Cobb hall a big bulletin with
the following inscriptions:
Attention is called to the bad taste of
smoking near the entrance to building
the matter, but that of courtesy and good
sense. That should be sufficient.
n. P. JUDSON, Dean.
The bulletin caused no small amount
of comment among the students, who,
although they found nothing manda-
tory in the wording of the notice, never
theless realized that the spirit was such
that there would be trouble if the prac-
tice should be continued. Accordingly
the users of tobacco assumed dis
gruntled airs, while the "theologs" and
the "coeds" smiled triumphantly.
Heretofore smokers have been in the
habit of lighting their pipes and Gig
arettes and standing around the en-
trance to the buildings before and after
classes
