QUEER WEEPING PRESENTS.
Some of the Customs Which Obtain
in Foreign Lands.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star
Giving wedding presents is an old Gus
tom. but the custom differs in different
countries. Scotland's penny weddings were
peeuliar They were called penny affairs,
but the invited guests contributed shiilings,
and occasionally a half crown, and out of
che sums thus collected the expenses Of
the wedding feast were paid. Germany has
a "pay wedding" at which the bride re-
oeives her guests with basin before her,
i'm which each person entering deposits
Jewel a silver spoon or piece of money.
In some parts of Germany the rule is that
the expenses of the marriage feast shall
be met by each guest paying for what he
eats and drinks-a sort of European plan
wedding, you might call it,
The prices paid for dishes and drinks are
high. and the happy young couple make
handsome profit out of their wedding, Of
ten realizing a sum sufficient to start them
pretty nicely in life. Otter 800 guests are
present at such a wedding. Sometimes the
dow of presents is in the other direction.
In Poland for instance girl is not re-
earded eligible Tor marriage until she has
wrought with her own hands cloth and
garments for the friends who will accom-
panv her future lord to the altar. But i'm
most countries the wedding present system
is similar to that which is familiar here,
and which has become serious tax.
The following are some of the queer GUS
toms connected with the wearing of bridal
wreaths.
The German bride wears the myrtle for
her bridal wreath, while the girl of the
BLACK Forest adorns herself with the 1ow-
ers of the hawthorn. In France and Eng
land and in the United States the orange
flower is in vogue, while the madens Of
italy and the French provinces of Switzer-
land use white roses. Pinks, carnations
and red roses are worn by Spanish brides.
In I.jthunia the bridal wreath is wound OF
the syrian rue on the Ionan Islands, tho
Crane vine: in Bohemia, Cornthia and the
Krain districts, or rosemary and in Hesse,
or artificial flowers, to which ribbons are
ndded. In Norway, Sweden and Servia
bridal crowns are made of silver; in Ba-
varia and Silesia, of wild wire, glass beads
and tinsel; among the Fins, the Wends and
the peasants of Altenburg, of paper, and in
Athens of costly hhgree. Bridal wreaths
were in vogue among the pagans, and were
introduced among Christian brides durins
the fourth century.

cAFFERY TALKS OF TEE CANAL.
Says United States should Build 1t
independently.

HNAN
Washington, jan 5.-Iittle business, ex-
cept of a routine character, was trans
acted by the Senate to-day.
A resolution offered by Mr. Hoar of
Massachusetts, directing the committee
on foreign relations to report to the Sen
ate whether the treaty of Paris makes any
provision for The claims of citizens of the
United States aganst Spain, which were
in existence before the present war, and
the status of such claims after the ralif-
cation of the treaty, was adopted.
Mr.. Caffery of Louisiana continued and
practically concluded his speech begun be-
fore the holiday recess on the opposition
to the pending Nicaragua canal bill.
Mr. Caffery said, in reply to a question
from Mr.. White, that il was his opinion
that if the United States should build the
canal under the pending bill in the face
of the treaty, the canal would be abso-
lutely neutral. and Great Britain would
have every right to use the canal in time
of war He thought the treaty should be
abrogated, and that the United States
should construct the canal independently
of the maritime company
Mr. White expressed the opinion that the
interests of the human race demand the
construction of the canal, but said that in
proceeding we should have due regard for
all interests. He thought, however that
we ought to be able to devise a scheme
for proceeding with the construction of the
canal without infringing upon the rights
of other nations, and intimated that the
canal might be built and negotiations with
other countries conducted later
During his Speech Mr.. Caffery alluded
to the statement, which had been made
repeatedly, that the opposition to the ca
nal was fostered and maintained by those
who were behind the trans-continental
railroads as supporters. This charge he
repudated, and he declared he would scorn
himself if he could be supposed to be
guilty of it,

Between Martin and Canty Gets Into
Court Again.
As a elimination Of the trouble in
Columbus a month ago between Albert
Martin and Ed. Canty, q saloonkeeper,
the latter had the former arrested and
brought before Justice Of the Peace
Fraser in this city Friday for the pur-
pose Of having him bound over to keep
the peace. The Ease attracted several
Columbus citizens who were brought
here as witnesses.
Sometime about the 23rd of March
last an alteration occurred between
Martin and Canty in which TIE latter
was badly worsted. For this otfense
Martin was arrested and fined $40 by
Justice Simpson. CAVITY was so badly
pounded up that be wasn't able to be at
the trial, but a few days later came to
Billings to see about having Martin re.
arrested for assault. Nothing was done
in the matter, however. When he re-
turned home he heard that Martin had
made threats against him on account Of
a newspaper article which Martin
thought CAVITY had inspired, and the
result was Martins arrest.
j. r. Goss was counsel for Canty,
while j. B. Herford defended Martin.
The case ended Saturday evening in
Martin being released. ...
