WnLAMsTowN, W., june 6, 81.
To whom it may concern:
Within the past few years l have
occasion to patronize some of the first
elias tailoring establishments of Bos-
ton, Mass, Spriufeld, Mass, Hart
ford, Conn.,, New Haven, Conn, Pitts
burg, Pa, Columbus, o., St. Paul,
CHM, and elsewhere, but have never
had more satisfactory work done for
me than has been done by Mr.. ID. D..
Haley, of Montpelier, Vt.
Ny friends say that the suit he re-
Gently made for me is the most becom-
ing they have ever seen me wear. And
the astounding feature of the case is
that his rates are but a little more than
half what is usually charged.
l feel coefident in saying that any

Of Mr.. Haley once will be sure to go a
second time.
Respectfully,

London society is all agog this week over the breaking of the engagement between the young Duke of Manchester and Miss Ivan Wilson, the beautiful and youthful daughter of Charles Wilson, the wealthy English shipbuilder. There was great deal of talk about this match being en- trely an affair of sentiment, until the Duchess of Manchester, mother of the prospective groom, made the disquieting discovery that Papa Wilson thought an income of $15,000 a year quite enough for his daughters dowery. Owing to the de- pleted Manchester coffers the Duchess, his mother, and the Duchess of Devonshire, his grand mother, convinced the young man that the contemplated alliance would in every way be undesirable and for that reason it is now called off. It is said now that following Mamma's directions he has turned his attention to Miss May Goe- let, a young New Yorker, who will have many millions in her own right. Before the death of Miss Goelet's father about a year ago, this marriage had been ar ranged by the mothers of the two vic tins, but when MT. Goelet heard of it, he made a statement for publication in which he said that he had rather see his child dead than married to the absolute young duke. This effectually put an end to the affair for the time being, but now the poor man is dead and gone. A large slice off his fortune promises to the up- building of the house of Manchester.
 These international marriages with wealth on one side and an empty title on the other have become of such freqeunt occurrence that we accept them as a. mat ter of course. But when we consider that American men make the best husbands in the world that no place are women as greatly respected and as universally in- dulged and permitted to have their own way as in America, that no country has higher civilization or holds out greater Inducements for the living of happy life it seems strange that these foreign al- dances may hold out any attractions for our American. girls.

No judges were ap- pointed to decide the matter In addition to the debate there was a recitation by Mrs. R. B. Dugger and a song by Bessie Leach. The club disbanded for the summer.

our amazement must become even greater, for surely she is the only woman known to history who can ride at all who has not had her picture taken standing by her wheel or lying on the grass near her wheel or propped up on her wheel In perilous and what is supposed to be very Sportsmanlike position.
 This interesting old lady, like most old maids, has her romance hugged closely to her withered old healt, no doubt, refined and idealized by many years of loving faibh- fitness and many sweet and tender dreams into a far lovelier thing than it ever was in reality. Ah these dear old maids,- With their odd ways and their little romances hid so carefully away from the world; what happy realization they miss, and, sometimes, what disenchantment Miss Purdy's romance is commonplace enough. She had lover who was sailor who went away to sea and never came back She has moltrned him perhaps for eighty years. Well, good man is worth it.
 Speaking of romances, when we consider how deeply in love Queen Victoria was with the Prince Consort, it seems a little queer that she should be so obstnately op- posed to any of the members of her family following in the slightest degree the dc- tates of their hearts when it comes to a question of marriage. It will be remem- bered that when the eldest son of the FLdnce of Wales died hardly a decent pe- riod of time was allowed to elapse before his fiance was turned over to his younger brother who was then of course in the di- rect line of succession. The hearts of the royal family are expected to adjust them selves to affairs of state. Now poor Prin- oess Victoria, the only one of the daugh- ters of the Prince and Princess of Wales with any claim to beauty or attractiveness, Is deeply in love with Lord Revelstoke, a gentleman not of royal blood and possess ing an income of but $15,00O a year, but held by everyone fin the highest esteem and the queen stoutly refuses her consent to the marriage Her majesty is a good

THE QUEER WAYS
WOMEN
BY LULU HUDSON.

In this day and generation, when pho- tography has grown to be such fine art that any woman, with or without any es- pecial pretensfons to beauty is prone to have her pictulre taken on the slight excuse of a new hat ball gown, only to see how lovely her features under the skillful touching and retouching of the artist may be made to appear, it quite takes ones breath away to learn that there is a maiden lady Purdy by name, in Derby Conn, who has reached her 101st birthday without evee facing the camera. What is more, she firmly declares that she never will It would be interesting, were it possible, to follow the mental processes of Miss Purdy that have brought her to this remarkable state of mind. It cannot be that she feels she is too plain to be photographed, unless she is indeed an exceptional woman in her views of such matters for some of the very plafnest women we know have ther pictures taken. Besides, some men-really horrid men, it is true-stoutly maintain that no woman honestly believes herself to be ugly, but, standing before her mirror, so- liloquizes along these lines: "It is true my nose is pug, but my eyes are really fine;' or, "No mattey if there is Q slight cast in
 my left eye, surely I have a charming mouth;" or, "I know I am badly freckled, but I have a lovely dimple in my cheek" etc. However this may be, the average wo- man does not consider herself too plain to be photographed, trusting in the cleverness of the artist to bring prominently to the fore that charming mouth, or bewltching dimple, or those fine eyes, as the case may be- On her one hundredth birthday, we are
 told Miss Purdy mounted a wheel and took a little spin, no doubt just to show what she could do, and on learning this

woman and wise sovereign, but she must be awful as a grandmother. She is greatly disappointed that none of the daughters of the Prince oe Wales have made a brilliant marriage, and thinks it is giving too much encouragement to the spirit of democracy, said to be sweeping over England, Ito per- init a descendant of the royal line to marry a commoner. In the meantime, poor Vie- toria goes about with a sad face, and de- clares that she is only too willing to re- nounce all royal flights and privileges to marry the man she loves; her mother, the Princess of Wales, who knows what 1t is to be unhappily married, earnestly pleads her daughters cause; her father the prince says the best he can do is to settle $25 900 year on the couple, and the queen will hear none of it. So there is pretty howdy-do in the English royal family.
 
 At best things do not run smoothly in the royal courts of Europe, where matters or state, jealousy and rayol intrigue crowd out those healthy, normal sentiments of affection and disinterested regard that make the greatest happiness to those in the humber walks of life. The czarina of Russia, whose marriage to the young czar has so far been anything but happy lives at present in the midst of a plot-whose members cannot be discovered, but whose object is evidently to slowly poison the young queen. For some time she has been showing the effects of this slow poisoning and it was finally discovered one morning. a few days ago, that the cup of chocolate brought to her by her lady in waiting con- tained arsenic. The cZarina is distinctly unpopular at court, owing to the austerity of her ideas or morality and propriety, which are distinctly non-Russian. One or her first reforms after going to St Peters burg was to forbid the smoking of cigar cites by the ladies of the court. Anyone who has observed the affection with which the American youth of the day clings to his cigarette can imagine what bitter trial this must have been to these noble Russian ladies. This and other reforms, sadly needed, no doubt, have aroused their ire, so, as the most direct method of rid ding themselves of such annoyance, they have decided to make away with the czarina-a plot that is certainly media eval in it's simplicity.

new Jersey Legislature Appoints a Com
mittee OF Investigation.
TRENTON, Jan. 12.-When the house
was finally organized yesterday, AS
sembiyman Gledhill introduced a reso-
luton that committee of FIVE. includ-
ing the speaker, be appointed to inves-
tigate the alleged NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of
Justice in Hudson county, as recon-
mended by the governors message. The
resolution gave the committee power to
subpoena witnesses and to send for pa
pers; also to meet during the legisla-
tive recess II necessary. Assemblyman
Allen of Hudson, the Democratic lead
er Of the house offered an amendment
that the investigation also extend to
Camden, Mercer and Atlantic counties.
He said that Hudson county welcomed
an investigation, but unless the house
intended to extend the investigation to
other counties he was constrained to
believe that the resolution was not
prompted by a desire to learn the truth,
but as a matter of political buncombe.
Mr.. Aliens amendment was voted down
by a strict party vote. and the original
resolution introduced by Mr. Gledhill
was then adopted. The first bill intro
duced in the senate was by Mr.. Slxlrm.
authorizing President Thomas Hanlon
Of Pennington seminary to change his
surname to O'Hanlon. DR.. Hanlon has
discovered that about 80 years ago his
ancestors inadvertently dropped the O.,
thinking 1t a middle initial, and he
wants 1t restored.
Senator Francis introduced a bill pro-
viding for an assistant prosecutor in
counties Of from $4,000 to 100000 popu-
lation which now have no such Off
cial.
Senator Reed introduced a bill pro-
viding that telegraph poles and wires
shall constitute personal property for
taxing purposes in the district in
which they are located.

day night, to which time the house also

DON'T ovER-sooTHE TINE BABY.
A Mistake often Made by Young
fothera.

A Mistake often Made by Young
Mothers.
When an infant cries, It issto express
dissatisfaction with something beyond
its control. This may be a collie, or q
pin, or an exaggerated covering, or a
fit of the blues, or, in some cases real
up-and-down hatefulness and savagery.
The disposition too often with young
mothers is to stop the crying, rather
than to remove the cause of It, Instead
of studying how TO render the babe
more comfortable, they really make it
more uncomfortable by their herculean
efforts to soothe it, If they can only
hush the poor little Hling and induce II
90 suffer in silence tlNy are satisfied.
Unless crying FROM pure spite it is
best to let baby keep on complaining
till his trouble is ov,sr. 1t is little
hard on the nerves of those who hear
him, but it relieves the tot wonderfully
and often does him permanent good.
