That this is wrong it is needless to
state; that the tendency is increasing
statistics will show, and the result, any
and every thinking person must agree,
will be a fatal one for society.
1 live in a boarding house, where the
inmates are in good paying employ
ment- There is one young woman who
is a buyer in one of the big retail stores
here; one young man is paying teller
in a bank; there are two stenographers,
a travelling man and a soprano IN one
of the wealthy churches here. The
conversations which are INDUCED IN at
table have shocked me beyond descrip-
ton. Marriage is, oddly enough, IA
vOrite topic. The opinions expressed
are foolish, ignorant and disgusting,
and the common remarks are hippant in
the extreme.
I heard one young woman advance
the statement that she had had plenty
of chances (they all seem to have had
many offers), but that nowadays men
were so frivolous she wouldn't think of
trusting one with her future. She cited
in warm tones her observations of their
vanity, and went so far as to say that
her employer, who is a single man,
keeps a. small mirror in his desk, and
never goes to speak to her, even about
his work, without looking to see if his
hair is smooth and his mustache curled.
In reply to this the young bank clerk
said that young men would like to
marry if the girls of today were less ex-
traVagant, but that the meaning OF WIFE
was helpedmate instead of helpmeet
nowadays.
One young woman said that the rea-
son young men thought they could not
afford to marry was that there were so
many modern inventions for their COM
fort, and that a man couldn't indulge
in Turkish baths, silk underwear, good
cigars and a. swell club and keep a
wife, too. adding, scornfully, that it
was ancient history what comfort was
to a man.
Her roommate said it wasn't that, but
the inordinate selishness of man that
led him to refuse to share his salary
with a woman, be contented, and feel
repaid by her companiOnship.
To some of US who have been brought
up to expect marriage as the proper life
for a happy woman the lookout is dis
cOuraging. 1t seems to me that if a
girl cared enough to marry she would
be contented with her sphere in life.
Poverty is wrong of course, and unless
Joined forces means death to the wolf,
isn't it right for women to expect to
marry? No woman, if she tells the
truth, will say she likes loneliness, and
all women are not sufficient unto them
selves. What is the right way to look
at it if have been wrong?

BLOW AT OTIS.
LaWtOn to Be Given Part of
Philippine Territory.

New York, Aug. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
It is understood that the plan of op-
erations for the fall campaign in the
Philippines cOntemplates a division of
the Islands into several military depart
ments and General Lawton will have
command in the one in which the cav
airy troops win operate. 1t is probable
that General Wheeler will be given
command of a brigade of cavalry in
General Lawton's department
The boundary line of Lawton's de-
partment will embrace the territory in
which there viii probably be the heav-
lest lighting, so that Luzon will be in
direct charge of the most important
forces in the field and in this way Cen
era1 Otis, while not being officially dis
credited, will be relieved of much of the
responsibility in connection with the
conduct Of the war, and will be left free
to perform the duties of a military gov
ernor
Secretary Roots short experience in
the war department has already con-
WINGED him that the views of the mill
tary commanders subordinate to Gen
eral Otis who favor a larger military
force than recommended by that Of
ficer are worthy of serious considera-
fton. There are reasons to believe he
will recommend that the force be fur
Eher augmented.

Sampson and Chadwick Marvel at
Racing Yachts.

Newport, R. I, Aug. Rear Admir-
al Sampson was a guest of William
Duncan on board the Defender during
the race Wednesday between that sIOop
and the Columbia Before he sailed for
Bar Harbor last night the admiral was
seen on board the flagship New York
and. asked what his impressions Of the
race were and the accident
1T was the first trip on board a
large racing yacht said the admiral
''and can assure you that it was a.
course have been doubly interesting if
the race had been completed. What a
pity that accident occurred and how
lucky 1t was that nobody was hurt"
Commenting on the handling of the
Defender in the race, Admiral Samp-
son said: II don't see how it could be
improved upon. The discipline was
perfect as it should be on a vessel like
that where everything depends upon
quick work in handling Sails.''
The admiral, in conclusion said he
would be made as strong as ever, and
that she would be successful in her race
against Shamrock.
Captain Chadwick Of the New York,
who was also on board the Defender
during the race said: Il enjoyed the
trip Immensely and I think they are
both splendid yachts, but they are rae
ing machines out and out and it is a
wonder to me that there are not more
accidents on board. The strain on the
spars and rigging is something terrific
sail in a breeze. I don't know much
about that steel mast but it seems to
me it was too light to stand the strain
nut upon it -

"ASTOR THE TRAITOR. "
Legend on an Effigy Burned In
New York Last Night.

New York, Aug. 5.-Surrounded by a
hOoting, jeering crowd of several hun
dred persons, William Waldorf Astor
was burned in effigy last night in Long
acre square. DR.. F. w. Grove, an
elderly physician who lives in his own
handsome brown stone dwelling at No.
22S West Firty-ninth street, was the
prime mover in the incident He hired
thirty men to assist him AT $3.50 p. m.
he carried a big rocking chair from his
house to a truck driven by Anthony
Kemmer. With it ne had an oil-soaked
barrel. On the chair he placed a lay
figure CARRIED in a striped suit, a black
fedora hat, kid gloves, tight-fitting
trousers and good shoes. Across the
chest of the figure was a sign 2x4 feet
with this legend:
''Astor, the Traitor
The wagon followed by a crowd was
driven down Broadway to a. point near
Thirty-eighth street, where the doctor
tried to make a speech, but the police
ordered him on. Up Sixth avenue to
Longacre went the wagon. There DR..
Grove planted the barrel on the asphalt,
poured over it two quarts of oil and ap-
piled a match. The flames cracked and
licked up the lay figure. A big hole
was burned in the asphalt pavement.
The police arrived too late to find the
doctor He had disappeared in the
crowd. His driver was arrested but re-
leased at the station house The Do
lice are looking for DR.. Grove.
DR.. Grove has been much interested
in the reports about Mr.. Astor taking
the oath Of allegiance to Queen Vic
toria- The more he read the madden
he grew. For some days he has talked
of little else and his act was no surprise
to his neighbors-

MATRIMONIAL VIEWS.

Letter in New York Tribune.1
The conservative and respectab bic
character Of your paper prompts me to
invite your influence against the pre-
vailing disregard among the young peo-
pie of today for matrimony. 1t is no
longer considered advisable, except in
wealthy families, where inheritance is
desired The average young men and
women of what may be called the mid
die or working classes are opposed to
marriage with those of their own class.

AN UNIQUE WAGER.
The Strange Mission of Bicycle Rider
From Kentucky.

The Strange Mission of Bicycle Rider
! From Kentucky.
A bicycle rider from Lexington, KY,
a college student, fraternity man,
member of the L. A. W., and son OF
prominent Kentucky politician who is
now a candidate for State office, ar
rived in the city yesterday, and was
rendered the hospitality of the Hotel
Windsor las. night He is making a
trip a-wheel from his home to Philadel-
pha upon a wager of $500. The un-
usual conditions are that he is to COM
plete his journey in II days, paying
! no hotel bills, and to reach his des-
tination with a live snake not less
than three feet long captured by him
self. The wager was the result of
| some bantering by members of the
Lexington club.
The young man was about Is miles
ahead of schedule time in reaching
/ Wheeling, Notwithstanding he had to
walk nearly all the distance from St.
Clairsville to Wheeling, because of a
punctured tire. About 20 miles from
/ GAINESVILLE he caught blacksnake five
feet long, which he carried with him.
The reptiles teeth were extracted and
fangs removed, upon reaching this city.
| 1t is fed on milk. One of the young
mans most vivid and pleasing recol-
lections of his experiences, and one
upon which he delights to dwell, is in
timately associated with the beauty of
i st. Clairsville girls. He admitted that
! he was sorely tempted to abandon the
1 remainder Of his journey, and spend
/! the fall and winter in that town.
This morning the rider will leave
/ over the National Road for Cumber-
j land, Md, and thence by way of Get
! tysburg, to Philadelphia. He appeared
/ to possess the necessary pluck to see
| him through, and if the snake holds
! out he will probably win his wager.

STANDING or CLUBS.

The Nailers took revenge upon the
Yanegans yesterday for their defeat
of Friday. Two games were scheduled.
Wheeling won the first with compare
tive ease. The second was called in
the first half of the fourth on account
of rain, wet grounds, darkness, fright,
and to enable the visitors to catch
train.
Whissen surprised even his friends
by his mastery work in the box, but
he was also accorded gilt-edged sup
port The visitors tried hard to get
run across the plate, but sharp feldlng
prevented them from doing so until
the ninth, although there were several
tight places, which caused the specta-
tors to breathe easier when the side
was retired. One of these was in the
seventh, when Farrell reached third,
and with one man on second and one
out, Wright drove out a fly to Pop
LytIe, and Farrell was retired in try
ing to make home on the throw in. In
the eighth Wheeling pulled over an
other ticklish spot. The bases were
filled with but one man out, but Nadeau
and Wright popped up short fiys and
retired the side.
In the ninth, the first two men who
faced Whissen were Miller and Bar
clay. The former was easy, but Niles
fumbled Barclays hit, and gave him
life. Barclay was forced at second by
Mattress, but Niles error was never
theless responsible for the run, Nat
tress scoring on long double by
Cargo.
In the first inning, Lyons made an
infeld hit, stole second, went to third
on a wild pitch, and was forced over
the plate by Streit's Witness Niles,
Lytle and Whistler walking. In the
second, Leahy singled, stole, advanced
another base on a wild pitch, and came
in on Lyons double. The third run
was made in the eighth by Poole. Mil
ler's tumble gave him a life, he stole
second, ai4e crossed the plate on
Leahy's single. Score:

dy, and BY some accident Martin and
his misft got on first to good start
and WENT skating for home over the
slippery ground.
The rest of the horses were almost
anchored in the mud, and Oakland won
as he pleased. When ssSkeetss went to
dismount, he was scared TO death, and
even then hardly realized that he had
actually won race at last.
Jockey Thorpe, who is going to Eng
land to emulate Martin, was one OF the
riders in that race. Every jockey but
Martin was covered with mud from the
winners heels. As they got off their
horses Thorpe looked at Martins clean
garments and asked him with his Pc
culiar drawl what road he had taken
home.
Since then Martin has won hundreds
of races, but it is doubtful if he has
forgotten the one in which he won his
brackets.
