HIS MEMORY WAS FAULTY.

The late Justice Keogh was in the
last years Of his eventful career af-
ficted with failing memory. On the
occasion of a Bar dinner" at his house
he went upstairs to dress, but did not
reappear. The company sat patiently
for some time, till at ~length-just as
their hunger was getting the better of
their and an emissary was
dispatched to hunt up the missing
judge-his lOrdship appeared and eX-
planned with many apologies that, i'm
agining that he was retiring for the night,
he had undressed and got into bed. After
an hours sleep he aWokc, when it sudden
ly struck him that he had not yet dined,
on which he hurried down to his guests.
He once attended a representation of

astonishment of the audience, "A deed

ARRIED NUNS.

"Sister Marie Magdalene, nun of the
Dominican Order" who Formed the sub
ject of a book recently published in
france by tho religious press, is no other
than the late Duchess of Alencon, sister
of the Empress of Austria, and who per-
ished in the flames of the charity bazaar
at Paris about two years ago, says the
Marquis de Fontenoy in the Washington
Post. Few people are aware of the fact
that this duchess, who 1t one time of her
life had been affianced to the late King
Louis of Bavaria, was a nun throughout
the last 10 or Is years of her life, although
married and living with her husband.
| am perfectly aware that this may
sound extraordinary. But the Domini-
can Order has several branches and di-
visions. One Of these is known as the
Third Order of Dominicans,' and,
while it imposes certain VOWS of the
order upon its members, it nevertheless
admits Of their remaining men and wo-
men of the world, and at the heads of
their respective families. They wear
the scapula of the order. but not out
wardly, and the only sumptuary obliga-
ton imposed upon the women of this
Third Order is the avoidance of any un-
due luxury as regards dress.
They are not supposed to make a public
profession of their connection with the
order as long as they remain in the world,
the understanding being that they should
do all tho good work possible, and that
on becoming free from family obligations
they should become full-fledged nuns or
monks, as the case may be. Large num-
bers of royal personages and of the OLD
world nobility are thus affiliated with
the order.

EDMUNDS ON P0LYCAMY.
AUTHOR OF ANTI-PoLYGAMY ACT SHOWS HOW CONGRESS CAN SET
TIE ROB ERTs CASE,

At the request of The Christian Her.
aid, ex-senator George F. Edmunds,
father of the Anti-Polygamy Act, has
prepared an opinion on the case of Rob-
erts, the polygamous congressman-elect
from Utah, which will be read with wide
spread interest. Senator Edmunds' con-
illusions will probably influence congress
in determining the course to be pursued
in this remarkable case. His letter is as
follows:
Philadelphia, Pa.
Editor The Christian Herald
Dear Sir:-Your recent letter asking
such explanation as | may be able to give
touching the case of Mr.. Roberts,. recent
ly elected to congress from the state of
Utah, was duly received.
1t is now Just fifty years since the Nor
mon political hierarchy was established
in Utah. 1t became an organized territory
of the United States in 1850. and seven
years thereafter a large military force
was required to induce the Mormon ter
ritorial government and officers to obey
the laws of the United States. From that
time onward, until the passage of the
act of congress Of March %, 1882. the po-
litical hierarchy under the form of terri
torial sclf-government. grew stronger
and stronger. and ~polygamy had become
an established and strong and growing
Institution in spite of the fact that ever
since 1862 there had been in force an act
of congress making ~polygamy in thai ter
ritOry, as well as others. a crime. and
providing for its punishment. But, 50 far
as l am informed. the act has remained
almost a dead letter, and naturally so.
because, substantially, all the machinery
of administering justice was under the
control, either aftirmatively Or negative
ly, of the hierarchy. The act of 1882 I'M
dertook to reform the methods of admin
1stering justice and to provide means for
bringing to punishment persons guilty
of polySamous practices under whatever
name they might exist. The act also
provided for excluding from suffrage and
from official employment that class of
criminals. At the time it was under dis
cussion, it was stated by those having
the bill in charge, that further measures
would be brought to the attention of con-
gress as might appear expedient. And
accordingly, congress passed a supple
mental act on the 3rd day Of March, 1887,
in which it provided, among other things
for annulling the territorial law of Utah,
under which illegitimate children inher-
tied the same as legitimate ones.
In consequence of these laws the insti-
tuition of polygamy greatly declined, and
there appeared reason for believing tina
in a few years this blot upon our civili-
cation would entirely disappear. The
hierarchy, however, still continued to
control the majority of the voters in the
territory, and it was thought unsafe to
admit Utah as a state until there should
be a decided gentle majority of voters
there. But the determination Of the hier-
archy was continuous, and it's efforts for
admission persistent, until finally con-
gress was persuaded to pass the act of
July l6, 1894, authorizing the people of
Utah to form a state constitution and to
be admitted.

Royal prrs. Allowance.

People sometimes wonder what sum
is put aside for dress by the daugh-
ters Of royal houses An Interesting
fashion writer tells Us thai before her
marriage the Duchess Of Fife had a
very small dress about
81, 500 a year. Besides yachting and
everyday dresses and all the usual Cos
tunes required by girl of the upper
class. royal princesses have also to
wear the costly and elaborate dresses
which their rank demands at the
weddings Of their near relations They
are. however. fortunate in having stores
of beautiful laCes, priceless fuTs and
marvellous jewels. all of which can be
used again and again. On the whole
II may be asserted that a frugal prtn-
cess may spend as little as 5000 =
year on her dress. while her more
wealthy and eItrayagant sister may
find her dress bills amount to ten times
that sum Age has nothing to do with
the matter, for the Queen Of Italy
spends far more than does her beauti-
full young daughtsr-in-lRw. the Grown
Princess of Naples. The Empress Of
Russia. who. more than any other Eu-
ropean Princess is able to indulge her

est simplicity. In the daytime she

skirts and in the evening favors the
