CHRIsTIAN BROTHERS NOT WORRIED.

At Manhattan College and other educational
institutions Of the Christian Brothers in thi.
city 1t was stated yesterday that no connrma-

Rome that the Sacred congregation Of the
Propaganda had made q report adverse to the
Christian Brothers here in the dispute which
has arisen over the teaching Of the classics In

Privilege to an American Army Omcsr.
WAsHIS0Tos, Dec. 30.-A telegram from
Stanley Hollis. the Consul ad interim OF the
United States at Pretoria. was received By the
Secretary OF State to-day. Mr.. Hollis was
directed recently by the State Department to
request the Transvaal Government to permit
United States Army officer to accompany the
Boer forces in the field. In his despatch Mr..
Hollis SAYS that the Transvaal authorities
Rraciously consented to the request The War
Department will designate an officer for this
duty W thout delay.
At the beginning OF the South African War.
the War Department assigned four officers OF
the Army to accom- any the British forces In
the theatre OF operations. None was assigned
to the Boer Army. The British Government,
however. expressed dslnclination to provide
for so many representatives OF the American
Army and In consequence the orders of three
OF the officers designated were withdrawn.
Capt. Slocum OF the Eighth Cavalry was the
only onleer whose orders we're permitted to
stand. He Ia now with Gen. Buffers forces al

oficers previously designated to accompany
the British Army will be assigned to the Boer
forces. They ara Col, 3. 3. sumner. Seventh

Ancient Wedding Houses.

In olden times certain towns and viii
lagos in England used to possess a
wedding house, where poor couples, af-
ter they had been welded at church,
could entertain their friends at 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. At Braughing Tor Brach-
inges), in Hertfordshire, there was a
wedding house of this kind, which had
a large kitchen with cauldron, large
spits and dripping pan; large room
for merriment, and a lodging-room,
with good linen. At Great Yeldham, in
Essex, there was another such house,
which was used by the poorer folk for
dining in after they returned from the
church. AS the practice became obso-
lete the wedding house was turned into
a school. In 1456 Roger Thornton
granted to the mayor and community
of Newcastle-upon-Ty the use of the
hall and kitchen belonging to Thorn
tons hospital, for the use of young
couples. when they were married to
make their wedding dinner in, and re-
ceive the offerings and gifts of their
friends.

recognized at glance as Major
Browns, suddenly appeared at the top

was impossible to deny the ownership.
"Oh, yes-it-it is minel"
The admission was made with such
reluctance that Major Brown was con-
scious Of feeling that in delivering
up the handkerchief to its rightful
owner he was rather under an obliga-
ton to her for deigning to accept it
than that she owed anything to him.
He was therefore quite astonlshed at

person who disappeared from England
in rather peculiar circumstances at the
time of all those forgeries is supposed
to have left New York on the steamer

he ought to have arrived in Liverpool
at the beginning OF the week. Just as

Evelyn, with a CLEAN of amusement
in her eyes. Let us all keep a careful
watch upon him, and do our best to

A MAMMOTH INSTITUTION.

To those who are accustomed to
sending away from home for their
goods it is of the greatest Importance
to know the character and reliability
of the establishments selling goods to
families from catalogues. The great
emporium OF the John NJ. Smyth Co.,
located at $50 to 166 West Madison
street, Chicago, has been established
for third of a century, and has fur
nished over a half million homes in
Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm
enjoys the confidence of the public by
its many years of fair dealing. 1t is
sues an immense illustrated catalogue
that should be in every family, as 1t
describes and gives the price OF every
article required for household use. A
sample of the extraordinary values Of
fered by this firm is shown in the illus
tration of the lady's ulster in another
column of this paper. These garments
are indeed wonderful values, and yet
they are but sample Of the thousand
and one useful articles illustrated and
described in the beautiful catalogue Of
the John NJ. Smyth Company.
