Among the Roman women at one pericd there was morbid ambition to grow boards, and they used to shave their faces and smear them with un- guents to produce these inappropriate appendages Cicero tells us that at one time to such an extent did the mania for boards grow apon women that it was found desirable to pass a ls~ against the ''adornment.

The first marriage to take place in the
Cabinet circle of his administration was
solemnized at high noon to-day when Miss
Fra oy5 Alger. the youngest daughter of
the Secretary of War and Mrs. Alger, be-
came the wife Of Charles Burial Pike, of
Chicago.
The cermony was performed according
to the Presbyterian rite, by the Rev. John
Reid, Of Detroit in the drawing room of
the Washington residence Of the Secretary
on X street, which was abloom with
flowers and embowered in magnificent
palms. The Marine Band, stationed in the
hall, heralded tho approach of the nuptial
group, the bride entering with her father
who gave her in marriage. The groom re.
ceived her in the flower banked bay win

The novelty in stationery is an en-.
velope that can be used twice. This
necessity may not often arise, but
when 1t does it must be urgent. The
envelope is of course, not stuck, and Is
OF oblong shape. The two square side
flaps cover each more than half the
address part, and those turning over
from the top and bottom part, although
triangular in the main, are cut in
peculiar way. Instead of ending in
a rounded corner, as the ordinary en-
velope does, a three-lipped arrange
ment. separated from the flap proper
by perforated line, is provided with
gum and closes the envelope, one lip
sticking on each flap. When opening
such letter 1t must, of course, be
torn along the perforated line only.
When used the second time the en-
velope is folded inside out, and the
other flap which remained intact and
is gummed according to its position
Is stuck down. 1t Is almost impos-
sible to tamper with such letter, as
all parts are perfectly secured and the
perforated lines would show the slight
est injury.

THE TAXES !;

Those thirsty Wilmi1gtonfans who ar
addicted to the lager beer habit and win

proposes to put an additional tax OF b!

This morning brewer told REPUBLr.
CAN reporter that 1t was not the national
legislation they opposed but the action o
the state Legislature of yesterday. Tht.
he said would be vigorously opposed. He
thought the best way to raise state revenua
of state officials and do away with posi-.
lions instead of creating them as Is beinS
done. Regarding the national tax of 81
per barrel, the brewer said:
"The Government increase In the tax In
of course, recognized as necessary was
measure, and there has been no oppositio1
to it among brewers. Its OBJECT on thi
trade will not be important. The talk OF
big increase in the price of beer is nom
sense The increase amounts to just 81 per
barrel, theamount OF the government tax.
Brewers. have already decided that, as soon
as the bill goes into effect, an increase a
&kper bai5el on the. wholesale price Of al
beer will 'be made. Retailers will b.
charged this extra dollar per barrel, ana
they In turn will be reimbursed from thu
sconsumers. Whether this Is done bI
smaller glasses or otherwise. the consumeh
will pay the extra tax. That's all the ell
feet tho new war tax on beer will have

will, of course, increase 1t to 81. 50, but as
have said, the saloon keeper can obtain his
regular profit by shortening his glasses ana
neither he nor the consumer will lose

COOPER CASE !
! UNSETTLED
His Counsel Has Informed the Court
That They Are Undecided.
SENATOR KINNEY In TOWN.
Came From Washington Last Night
With Mr.. Bird. Conference Held
With Cooper To-day at Mr..
Birds Office. Motions
in Clark'S Case Goes
Over to June.

This was tho day set for the agreement
on the demurrer fled co the different
courts in tho Thomas S. Clark Indictment.
But in consequence Of the trial having
been postponed until the juno term OF
court the argument did not take place.
The postponenent of the case depends en-
tirely on Clark being ablo to secure new
bondsman. The reason for this Is THAT his
bondsman Is in California. The panel OF
petit Jurors will be drawn some day next
week and the case will come up for trial
on June H.
On June tho grand jury will meet to
consider the remaining cases in connection
with tho Boggs case. They will be able to
do all tho business inside of eight days.
Colonel Ezekiel Il. Cooper came over from
New Castle this morning In company OF
Sheriff Finn. He went direct to the Of
fec of his counsel, Levi G. Bird. That
gentleman visited the Federal Building

in chambers that counsel for The defense
had not fully made up their minds to ac'
cept the verdict or 10 apply for new trial
The prevailing opinion, however, Is that
no application for a new trlel Will De
made
No interest Is manifested in the case at
present. Half dozen or so of curious PEG.
pla compr ised those who were at the court
room today. Should Il new trial be granted

maintler of his natu al life.

pic returned to Wilmington last night
with Mr. Bird
They remained in Wilmington over
night and were at Mr. Birds office to-day
together with II number Of prominent
down state people. The term of imprison-
ment is all that worries Cooper's friends.
The latter are ready to put up the money
for a fine. They would not like to see Coop.
er sent to n penitentiary.
They would prefer to see him get a year
and be allowed to remain at Now Castle,
where his friends could call and sec him
once in while. Should Cooper be SEN
fenced to year, by good behavior he eau
have tho term reduced to less tEan ten
months.
The other men who are connected in tho
Dover bank Case are getting uneasy.
I he reason for such uneasincss is that
they cannot in oil cases bring up such
prominent array of witnesses as to char
acter Dld considering that the leading law.
had an exceptionally good character and
was convicted by IL jury composed OF eight
Democrats and four Republicans, there is
