RESENT A POSTAL ORDER.
french Public Makes q Protest
Against Ruling Out Mourn
ing Envelopes.

The French post Office at Paris is
being deluged with letters of complaint
over the enforcement of the DEPART
ment's recent order prohibiting the
passage through the mails of envelopes
bearing the customary black border in
token of mourning: The new rule per-
mits the use of note paper with as deep
a border as the sender desires, but the
cover must be white, or may be tinted,
but at least is not to have black
edge.
The post office department gives as
its reason for the new regulation that
mourning envelopes are too easily tam
pered with. They can be opened, it is
officially explained in answer to the
numerous complaints, and If the
gummed edge is torn or frayed in the
process, a little ink rubbed over the
surface makes everything look right.
One consequence of the new order is
the increased sale of envelopes with
tinted edge, and it is not improbab BILE
that the use of these as a token of
mourning may entirely supersede the
use of the time-honored blackboard cred
variety

EVILS OF MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Bishop Doane Discourses on Irrcv-

played at Weddings.

At the convention of the Ma tional Re-

Doane, of Albany, spoke on "Our Mar
riage and Divorce Laws; Their Danger
and Remedy" He said, in part: "A
runaway marriage is prima facie sus-
picious case. And marriage asked to
be performed late at night in the par
sons house had better be left over until
the next morning.
"Our office is called the, form of SOL
emnization of matrimony. There are
no words in it that jar upon the ear more
sharply than those words sadvisedly,
reverently and soberly,' as one con-
tracts them with the mere merriment
and childish byplay and frivolity Of the
modern conven tons of society.
''To be deplored are the excuses and
eXcite1nents and extravagances that i'm
mediately precede and are the chief
preparations for the sacred service; the
crowds of irreverent spectators profan-

of clothes, their idle gossip, their care

which exposes to conspicuous notoriety

when they have the right of privacy and

A SINGULAR SUIT.
marcus Braun Secures Judgment
Against Wagner Palace Car Com
pany on Unusual Grounds.

One of the most singular suits on
record has just been decided in the CITY
court in New York city, Marcus Braun
having secured a Judgment against the
Wagner Palace Car company for $3.50
as damages for a mistake made
by one of the company's conductors,
who allotted a berth already sold
to Braun to woman. When the
error was discovered every berth in
the train was sold and Braun was COM
PEELED to sit in the smoking compa1t-
ment during a trip from Cleveland to
New York city. When Braun bought
his coupon for the berth he left his lug
gage in the seat and went to the smok-
ing compartment. He did not return
for two hours, according to his own
story, but when he did he found the
berth made up and occupied. The
comments of the other passengers so
injured his feelings, he says, that a
money compensation is due him, he al
leges. The woman in the berth pro-
duced coupon which was an exact du-
plicate of the coupon given to Braun.

FOE OF NEW WOM AN.
|St. Paul Preacher Who Declares
Against Employment Of Women.
Thinks the World Would BE better
OF If All the Women Were
| Turned Out Of TIL eir
Jobs.

3 Rev, S, G. Smith, pastor of the Peo-
PILES church at St, Paul, Mimi, who
has charge of the department. of soci-
ology at the state university, declared
himself in opposition to women being
ieelf-supp porting, in a lecture ON s'The
Production OF Wealth" before the Y.
I'M c. A. Of st. Paul.
''T'he world would be better off, - he
said, eff all women were turned out Of
their jobs tomorrow. I would except
Ischool-teachers, and, perhaps, a very
few other classes. One of the greatest
evils of modern civilization, I think,
lis the woman wage-earner. Her exist
ence Is a. crime against natural laws
Mature intended man to be the pro-
lducer, woman the consumer.
Some women, it is true, won't mar,
Try. Some women should NOT marry.
But you can't organize society upon
the exceptions to- it's laws. The healthy
woman, the woman Of the majority,
should marry, If she can get hus-
band, and she would be much better
able to find a husband if she had not
Ereduced mems wages by her industrial
competition. %
Within the two decades between
1870 and 1890 the whole number of
women in this country has decreased
in proportion to the men, but the
number of women in industrial occu-
pations has decidedly augmented. In
1870 fon' example, ten per cent. of the
iarGsta Of America were women Tn
1890 the rate was 40 per cent. There
were o27 female physicians in the
United States in 1870, but in 1890 the
medical and surgical women had in
creased to 1880.
"Woman's wages are always smaller
because she possesses less endurance,
less skill than man, because she en-
ters' her work with less preparation,
and makes it, not a serious life task,
but a temporary expedient to CRAFTY
the needs or the desires of a short PEI
iriod"

Still N JAIL
A Hitch Occurs In the Effort to Sc.

Yet Secured.
An Uncle at Des Moines Appealed
to and Expected to Respond to
the Request.
Prisoner Begins to Realize Where
III
Prisoner Begins to Realize Where
He is at and is Feeling Some
what Blue.

After the T.-R. had gone to press Sat-
urday evening a little hitch occurred in
the matter of the release of c. T.
Barnes, the express agent charged with
forgery, and he is still confined in the
county Jail. His wife and attorneys ex-
pect, however. to secure an acceptable
bond.
After Barnes was arraigned before
Justice Burritt and had been held in
bonds of $1,000 on one information and
$500 on the second, he was taken before
Justice Allen, before whom similar in
forma tions had been issued, and he was
held under $500 bonds on each count.
This made his total bonds $500, but the
attorneys for the state agreed to his re-
lease on the furnishing of good bond in
the sum of 81, 900 and to accept his per-
sonal bonds in the other informations.
The trouble came in securing signers,
and Mrs. Barnes and Attorney Foley
concluded to go to Des Moines to secure
the aid OF an uncle. They departed on
an evening train, but up to late hour
they had not shown up with the sought
for document properly signed. The
hearing was changed to next Monday,
and is set for o'clock in Justice Bur-
ritt's court, and 10 o'clock in Justice
Aliens court.
Mr.. Barnes, who has been feeling in
high spirits since his arrest and incar-
ceration, now begins to realize that he.
is in a predicament and has hard
problem to explain. In fact he is feeling
quite blue.
During Barnes residence in the city
he became widely known among the
business men and others. His intimates,
4 however. were not of the class that
would be able to rally TO his assistance
in his present trouble, and If the matter
should be settled up 1t would necessar-
lily have to be through the efforts of his
i relatives.

Organizing Ratiroadmen.

Perry, Aug. IA meeting of the en-
ployees of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway here, decided on a
plan OF organizing an anti-political
union of all the railroad employees of
Iowa. The object will be to make the
railroad men political factor SO that
they may successfully oppose political
and legislative action calculated to in
1 jure their interests.
Heretofore the railroad men have had
no great central organization in the
| state and what has been done in the
way of legislation and for the amelora.
| tion of the railroad men has been ac-
complished largely through the efforts
of the different orders but as is the case
generally where different orders are in
lterested, the greatest harmony has not
always prevailed.
/ Northwestern employe in speaking
last night of the new order gave it as
his opinion that it would be success
In every way and would eventually
take on national proportions. 1t is
just what is needed by the railroad men
| of the country" he continued. There
| is not enough legislation in favor OF the
men who are risking their lives in order
that railway corporation may make
money. and there never will be the
proper legislation until the railroad men
organize and as a body demand such
laws as will be to their interests. OF
course the different orders such as the
Trainnlen and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and the A. r. u. have
accomplished much and in time will ac-
compiish a great central organization
with the object in view of securing
what we want and when we get the
Organization we will soon get the other
things we want.
II am glad to see the Milwaukee fell
lows take the matter In hand and am
sure that the railroad men of the other
lroads will heartily cooperate With
them"
