The Story of a June Brides Gown.

An interesting story of gown worn
by a June bride is told by the Boston
Transcript. The story is particularly in
teresting TO the women who like to read
old novels of the days when
the heroine always wore in some
period of the story a beautiful but
simple India muslin, which cost, notwith-
standing its simplicity, fabulous sum,
The muslin was preferably and usually
brought across the water by some fond
relative OF the bride. The dress OF this
story Is undoubtedly one OF those Identical
gowns. This bride wished something new,
or rather something different, for her
wedding gown, and decided to be married
in beautiful old India muslin brought
from India by a relative. But this gown.

of course, in the Boston sc to-day, a piece

the gown was taken to the cleaners, and
incidentally the story was told, and
brought out a cap story of 3. charming
Boston belle of 10Vyears ago, who had just
such another gown brought over from
India for her wedding, which. however,
did not take place. There must have been
deep romance in that story, though it
does not appear, for the bride who was

How did the Prince Consort of England
manage with the Queen? The story has
oft been told, and it is probably correct
in its outline, that it was not he in this
case who had to manage. but she. For
it appears to be court etiquette for the
Queen to do the proposing in such case.

House and senate in Brief.

Washington. April 26.-After a brief
debate yesterday the senate agreed to
the conference report on the Hawaiian
civil government bill. The agricultural
appropriation bill was passed, carrying
little over $4,000 GOO. The Alaskan
civil government bin was under con-
SideratiOn without action.
The house put its heel upon the
pneumatic mail tube service now in OPP
GRAFTON in New York, Boston and Phil
aGefphia, and if it's action stands the
whole service will be crushed out, the
appropriation for that service having
been stricken from the postoffice bill.
This was entirely because of charges
OF attempted bribery of congressman
by the pneumatic tube people. The
successor of Roberts of Utah-William
T. King-was sworn In as n member
of the house.
