CURRENT TOPICS.

As related yesterday. the notorious
Major Esterhazy. who figured so conspic-
uously in the Dreyfus affair, has been con-
victed of swlndling his cousin out OF 5000
francs and sentenced to three years i'm
prisonment. While the trial was going on
a number Of letters of Esterhazy to his
cousin were read showing what a slick
rascal he is 1t appeared from these let
tiers that Esterhazy extorted money from
his cousin. who was easily duped. on the
pretense Of being engaged in an effort TO
secure him a rich wife. The reading OF
the letters in Paris court provoked roars
of laughter from the assembled crowd.
Not much sympathy will be wasted on
Major Esterhazy during the term of his
Imprisonment

MORE BACHELORS THAN MAIDS
Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
 Than Are Single Women.

Unmarried Men Are More Numerous Than Are Single Women.
 From the Cincinnati Enquirer: It appears that people generally are greatly mistaken in their notion that there is an enormous surplus of unmar- ried women in this country The truth is that no such excess of spinsters ex- ists; in fact, it is quite the other way, , the bachelors outndmbering the maid ems. At the present moment there are in the United States 100000 more un= attached males than females similarly situated, the exact figures being 5,427,- 767 bachelors against 3,224,4 ,494 spin sters of ages from 20 years up. Thus 1t is obvious that if girls do not find husbands it is not for lack of a plenti- ful supply Of the article. What is re- quired, seemingly, is a general migra- ton of spinsteIs from the north and east to the great and growing west. in parts Of which there are ten available mates for every maid. From the last remark, however. IL must not be infer red that there is actually an excess Of unmarried women in the northern and eastern states. Even in those parts Of the country there are more bachelors than spinsters 20 years old and upward, notwithstanding the theory to the con- trary= so widely accepted. No state in the union has as many maidens as baehelors-not even Massachusetts, where the figures are 219,255 spinsters. against 226,085 bachelors. Massaehu- setts is the banner state for spinsters, the bachelors outnumbering them by only tWo=tenths of 1 per cent Next comes Rhode Island, where the excess of bachelors is ? per cent. The ex- cess of bachelors in the District of Co., lumbia is per cent, in North Carolina 3 per cent, in New Hampshire per cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent. in Maine 37 per cent and in Vermont 54 per cent Tn Maryland the bachelor surplus is f9 per cent, in New Jersey it is 9 per cent, in New York it is 26 per cent and in Virginia it is 1z per cent. All of these are low percent ages so far as the superiority of bache- lors in point of numbers is concerned.
 Wedding Houses.
 In olden times certain towns and villages in England used to possess wedding house, where poor couples, after they haG been welded at church, could entertain their friends at a small cost, the only outlay being the pur- chase of such provisions for their guests as they brought with them, the house for the day being given free Of payment.
