THE BRIDEaRoon's ! l lPhonlse:


 The groom entered alone and said, confidentially:
 Do you use the word obey in your marriage service, Mir --!'
 'No," said the minister. T do not, usually"
 'well,'' said the expectant benedict, Il have come to ask you to marry me now, and l want 1t used"
 ''Certainly," repAed the other. 'It shall be done," and presently the cou- pie stood soiemnly before hlm.
 James T-,'' sad the clergyman, do you take this woman to be your welded wite?"
 Do you absolutely promise to love, honor and obey her as long as you both shall live?'
 Horror and rebellion struggled with the sanctities of the occasion on the bridegroom's face, but he chokingly re- sponded Il do," and the meek bride decorously promised in her turn.
 After the ceremony was over the bridegroom said eXcitedly aside to the grave minister:
 You misunderstood me, sir, you misunderstood me! referred to the woman's promising to obey"
 "Ah, did you, ndeed?" serenely an- swered his reverence. "But I think what is good for one side is good for the other, don't you? And, my friend, it is my advice to you, to say nothing about it, for as an old married man, I can tell you you'll have to obey any how. Journal.

Although the ship subsidy bill is not before the house, Representative Thayer of Massachusetts took alvan- tage of the wide latitude allowed in the discussion of appropriation bills to make a strong speech against it, bris- ting with common sense arguments showing that the measure would not result in building up our merchant marine, and concluding with these words: If the American merchant marine is to be revived and rehablH- tated so as to take a prominent and commanding position among the na- tions of the world, it will be done in some other way than by the tempo rary intoxicant provided by the pro- visions of this bill, and we have no moral right, even If we were con- strained by no other consideration, to tax 75,OOO,OOO people that We may be- stow a bounty upon seven companies or corporations" Senator Turner of Washington, in a speech against the bill, characterized it as vicious in its principle and absurd ln It's eAtraNa- gance; one-quarter government pa ternalism and three-quarters a lawless, psratical raid upon the public treas ury, it's principal purpose being to en- rich few private individuals by giv ing $27O,O0o0OO of public money to one favored industry. Mir Turner called particular attention to the fact that instead of operating for twenty years, as generally supposed, at q cost of S1SO, O,OOO, ,OOO, the bill, if it became law, would operate for thirty years and cost $27O,OOO, ,OOO.

There are indications that the re- publicans are going to try to do in the next congress what they were afraid to do in connection with the reappor- tionment bill passed by the present congress-poke their fingers into the internal affairs of those southern states that have by constitutional pro- vision curtailed negro suffrage. Enough was said when the credentials of Senator elect Simmons of North Carolina were presented to the senate to show that an attempt is to be made in the next congress to get the matter before congress by objecting to the seating of senators from the states that have restricted suffrage-North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana. Whether the attempt will succeed will depend upon the sup port it gets from the more conserva- tive republicans, many of whom have said in private conversations that they were opposed to any agitation of this sort in congress, and would have fla vored the suffrage restrictions had they lived in the states that have adopted them. Democratic senators will to a man oppose any and every move to question the right of senators from the four above named states to take their seats in the next congress.

In assenting to the proposition for Monday night closing, the large mer- chants of New Haven have taken a progressive step. Hartford has taken more advanced position than any other Connecticut city along this line. and here the stores are closed at G o'clock every evening except Saturday. We suppose that no disposition exists hereabouts to return to the old policy of night opening. We suppose that
 soon or late. all large Connecticut cities will adopt the plan which has been followed here for considerable time.-Hartford Post ,

'I know now why one Tenderloin restaurant keeper Is successfully re- marked Wall street broker the other day to q New York Sun reporter. ''l was in the main dining room at 6 o'clock one evening with a party of men. We noticed q little commotion near the entrance, and saw 1t was caused by the arrival of q we'll dressed, good natured looking man. whose bear ing showed that he had been out with the boys He wasn't noisy or offen- sive. but he couldn't have walked a chalk line if his life had depended upon it.
 He came down the room ill an un- certain way, shelled off his oyercoat, put it with his hat on chair, sat down and folded his arms on the table and went to sleep. The walters looked at him and ran after the head waiter. The latter walked up to the sleeping man, as though he intended to awaken him. Then he stopped and called a waiter.
 "'Go for the proprietor he said.
 ''The proprietor came.
 "0That's so-and-so,' said the head waited He's a good customer, but he's very drunk, and he's gone fast asleep. What shall I do? Shall 1 wake him up?
 I've mustn't offend him. said the proprietor I'll tell you what to do Then he whispered to the head walter and went away. The head waiter caued q waiter and in turn whispered to him. Then he went away.
 ..The waiter went to the china pantry and came back with a finger bowl. This he put on the table where the sleeping man was. In doing so he rubbed the fingers of the sleeper. The man straightened up and opened his eyes. The boy was not looking at him but had picked up the water bottle ana was filling the finger bowl. In doing so he knocked the bowl with the bottle so that it rang like bell.
 ''The drunken man looked at it with brightening eyes. The boy paid no at tention to him, but shook out a napkin which he laid beside the finger DoWl: The boy took up his overcoat and stood respectfully at one side as if waiting for the man to rise.

A PERPETuAL CONTRACT.

''Did you ever hear of corn con tract?" said Arthur Campbell, man. ager of a downtown hotel, to a com municative guest, who had just put his name down on the register, ac- cording to the Chicago Chronicle
 What do you mean. another Letter deal?" asked the new arrival.
 "No, I mean one of those corn, con- into," said the manager of the hostel ry.
 "Such contract as a chiropodist makes?" inquired the guest. "Why, I can't understand what you are driv- ing s!1vt;, at;,' ,.,, .xn,,,n .,.. ;, ..;a c.... bell. T had an exceedingly bad pain in my left foot last week. It hurt so that doctor stopping at my home and others could do nothing to allevi- ate the soreness, which I found was the result of a large corn that had been on my toe for month.
 q determined to have it eradicated by chiropodist. I passed down Wells street one afternoon and spied the sign of a German doctor. which said something about 'huehnerau- gen.
 "1 went in, investigate and found he was willing to relieve me of my troubles by removing the growth.
 "He proceeded to perform the oper- ation, and when everything was fin ished he asked me to sign contract for the work of removing the corn right along. He said it was likely to come back again and that such pacts were made occasionally, but I did not want to think anything more about it and refused. I never heard of such a thing before"

The Cubans are behaving admirably, but how long will they continue to do so under such aggravating and humil- iating conditions? If we do not have Philippine conditions repeated in Cuba in the course of the next two years it will not be for lack of willingness on the part of some people high in au- thority in the city of Washington.
 The above is the closing paragraph of an editorial in the Hartford Times on the Cuban policy. It is pretty strong language, and the way that paper talks up to President Mckinley must make that gentleman uneasy in his mind if he ever reads the Times

Cincinnati, April % An author
lied interview with President Gas
tro of Venezuela is published here
this afternoon. The president pre-
sents his compliments to the United
States and guarantees protection
to all foreign capital in his coun-
try. He insinuates that Minister
Loomis accepted favors from the
Bermudas Asphalt company. Cas-
tro justifies his expulsion of the
newspaper correspondents from
the country on the grounds that
they accepted bribes to color their
reports in favor of the asphalt
company.
The president asks that Loomis
be recalled, and says he will no
longer be recognized in Caracas.
He says further:
"If the United States sends her
warships to this country, | will do
my best to maintain my position
