A Wilmington clergyman tells of a
Philadelphia couple who came to him
to be married one day. When they
left the boat at the Fourth street wharf
in the city they had but five dollars
between them. Nevertheless, the
groom called q cab and ordered to be
driven to the city hall and then to the
nearest minister. At the city hall he
paid $500 for q marriage license,
which left 81. 40 to pay the cabman and
to fee the minister. At the latter's
house the cabby demanded $3.50. The
groom replied that he did not have it,
and the driver compromised on q dol
lar, leaving 40 cents for the minister.
The groom, however, was not done
buying, for he stepped into q nearby
store and bought an envelope for q
cent. In this he put the remaining 80
cents, and after the ceremony handed
1t to the minister. How the newly
married couple got back to Philadel-

Brsdstrese's review says:
Exceptions to the Quiss and even
dullnsss shown By the many lines OF
trade and speculation are found In the
active demand for wooden goods for
next falls delivery, and in the activs
call for dry goods on spring account.
In the latter direction, prices show
special strength, and the bulk of the
business placed in woolens has been at
an advance of 20 to 40 per cent. In
other lines, notable steadiness is shown
in prices. Weather conditions through
out the country part of the week have
been against trade in seasonable goods,
and there is very general complaint OF
large stocks of winter goods in the
hands of this branch of trade. Another
effect of the usually mild weather is
that shown in the Northwestern lum.
Der business. The lack of snow will
probably insure reduction on the cut
of last year, and this, combined with
smaller stocks, points to at least .
maintenance of present lumber quota
tions.
Wooden manufacturers have constl.
tuted an exception to the general quiet.
They opened their order books this
week, and an unusually heavy volume
of business is reported to have been re-
corded. Cotton goods are reported in
good demand in nearly all markets,
and the confidence as to spring business
in dry goods and clothing is q notable
feature, in sharp contrast, in fact. with
the reports received from retailers as to
the pr sent seasons business in winter
wear goods. Scarcity of water is com.
planned of as limiting the output OF
New England cotton mills. which are
reported as backward in deliveries.

THE DEATH BED OF PRESIDENT LIN coin.

ing become habituated to sensational
leaps in his repertoire Of characters. He
leaped nine feet down on the stage, but
his spur caught in the flag decorating the
front Of the presidential box and as he
reached the stage he fell, recovering him
self in a wonderful way, though his leg
was broken. He bounded across the
stage, pushing past Miss Laura Keene,
who stood near the prompter's desk.

still holding the dagger. As he crossed
the stage Booth cried out, dramatically,
"Sic semper tyrannisv' and II have done
itw Once through the side scenes Booth
quickly escaped by the rear door OF the
theater, where a horse awaited him, its
bride held by an employe Of the theater
whom Booth rewarded with a kick, his
agony from his broken leg being intense.
Meanwhile the shrieks of Mrs. Lincoln
made clear to the audience the nature Of
the horrible crime that had just been per-
petrated. Pandemonium reigned. Wom-
en- cried, men followed and children
screamed. Miss Laura Keene advanced
to the footlights and called out: "For
Gods sake, have presence Of mindl Keep
your places and all will be WELT!
Miss Harris called to Miss Keene to
bring some water, which the actress did,
and afterwards accompanied Mrs. Lin
coin to the house opposite, TO which the
unconscious President was ut once re-
moved. 1t was found that he had been
shot through the head, above the back of
the temporal bone, and that some Of the
brain was oozing out and that death was
inevitable.
Within q comparatively short time the
terrible news had spread all over Wash
ington, and by midnight every member
Of the cabinet, except Seward, whose own
life was attempted, had gathered At the
bedside Of their dying chief. Mrs. Lin
coin was present, FRUSTRATED with grief,
and other members Of the family, Sena-

generals and physicians, the latter In

President Lincoln never recovered con-
sciousness. As day dawned his pulse
failed and 4 look of perfect peace over
spread his features. At 7:22 q. m. he
ceased to breathe. Rev. DR.. Gurley knelt
down and prayed and Secretary stanton

that the papers had advertised that HIM
self and Gen. Grant would both attend,
aud, since Gen. Grant had left Washing
ton, he did not want to have the audience
disappointed. as the people would expect
to see at least one of them.
The theater was crowded. The box
reserved for the presidential party was
the double box forming the second tier on
the right-hand side Of the stage. The
front Of the box was decorated with flags
and in the center, on the outside, hung
an engraving of Washington.
As the Grants had declined an invita-
ton to attend, Mrs. Lincoln invited. in
their stead, Miss Harris. daughter Of Sem
ator Ira Harris, and Maj. Henry X.

VALENTINES OUT DATE.

Original Verse, Flowers or Candy Are
Now the Proper Gifts.
Valentines are out of date. That il
the edict of society. When the 14th Of
February comes around now the proper
caper is to write to your lady fair few
choice stanzas Of valentine verse, or, In
case of your inability to construct proper
rhyme, send around a few punches of vio-
let's or sweet roses or nice box of candy
"a heart shaped box preferred, Of course
all tied up with pretty silk ribbons. The
flowers and the candy may not last as
long as the poetry, but the fowers will
be prettier, the candy will taste better and
both will be more appreciated.
When it is said that valentines are out
of date the statement has to be made, of
course. with some reservation. They are

over which young ladies used to go into
ecstasies Of delight and young men used
to 60 into bankruptcy, has long been pass
ed. The custom o. sending that sort Of
remembrance is as dead as the custom of
New Years calling. 1t was never a SEN
sible custom anyway, for no young man
felt really repaid in putting a weeks sal
airy into a gift TO young lady when, be-
cause of the mystery and secrecy that
have to be observed in sending valentines,
he could not accompany it with his card.
1t was altogether too discouraging to
have his hated rival get the credit for
sending a sentimental lot Of poetry all
done up in fluffy expensiveness for which
he had cheerfully emptied his pockets and
''gone broke" Valentines Of that sort
have had their day and belong now to the
