Wise WoOers

When thoughtful person recalls the
number of marriages within his own
observation that have resulted in I'M
happiness because poverty has entered
the door, no provision having been
made to guard against the coming OF
the grim guest, and reviews the mis-
cries of the children of such thfifttess
unions, the French custom that for.
bids a man to marry dowerless Girl
seems eminently wise and humane
The prudent bachelor argues that he
has no right to thrust a group of DOS
sible paupers upon the world, and even
If he loves girl, will not marry her
unless she has dot" in her actual
possession. a pretty festival In the vii
lage of st. Denis has sprung from this

Marriage as Conducted in Germany.
One seldom hears of Opponents in
Germany 1t is impossible for young
people to marry in that country with
out the consent of their parents or le-
gal guardians. Certain prescribed
forms must be gone through or the
marriage is null and void. When a girl
has arrived at what is considered n
malriageable age her parents make a
point Of inviting young men to the
house, and usually two or three are
Invited at the same time, so that the
attention may not seem too pointed.
No young man, however, is invited
to the house until after he has called
at least once and thus signified his
wish to have social intercourse with
the family. In Germany man must
be at least IS years old before he can
make proposal, but when it is made
and accepted the proposal Is speedily
followed by the betrothal. This gener-
ally takes place privately, shortly after
which the father OF the brlde-as she
is then called-giyes a dinner or sup
per to the most intimate friends of
both families, when the fact is formal
ly announced and shortly after be-
comes a matter of public knowledge.

ceal their beauty. This style has been
growing smaller and more diaphanous
until now the Turkish womans face
Is less concealed than the European
woman's who clings to the close square
of tulle.
The Algerian women wear yards Of
soft gauze about their heads and shoul-
ders; when coming in contact with Eu-
ropean men these are gracefully drap-
ed so as to leave but the upper portion
of the face visible. The iiyc-yafl
sarong of the Parsee women makes a
dress skirt, covers greater portion Of
the body, leaving one arm and shoul-
der free, and is then most artstleally
arranged about the head. The Nautch
girls, who wear tie curious nose rings
and expensive jewels on their feet and
anklets, make use Of the sarong in
their gliding dances. but they seldom
use them for face covering
Mohammedan women have variety
Of face wells, modified by climate and
the country in which they live. The
yasmak of the Turkish and Egyptian
women is unknown to the women Of
India, who envelop their faces in the
folds of long, narrow gauze wells or
shroud themselves in their beautifully
embroidered sarongs.

 House at Work on Postal Matters.
 WASHINGTON, March 3. - Tn ac- sordance with Saturdays decision, the Senate took up the ship subsidy bill to- day, and it will continue to hold it's place as the unfinished business until disposed of. There is, however, no dis position for the present to press the matter to the exclusion of all other business, so that it probably will be laid aside temporarily at different times to permit the consideration of bther matters, including Senator Hoar's bill for the protection of the president against assault. The legislative appro- priation bill will be reported.
 The house of representatives, which will give most of it's time during the present week to postal affairs, began today with the bill placing the rural free delivery system on the contract basis and will follow later with the postoffice appropriation bill. The rural free delivery measure has aroused controversy, and there promises to be m active debate, with considerable doubt as to the passage of the bill

FIoods rn New England.

BOSTON, March 3.-Flood reports are general from every part of New England, although the conditions are not particularly alarming, for the rain storm has passed and the thermometer is a little lower. The remarkably heavy rainfall of Friday night and the warm temperature since then have car ried away most of the snow which fell during February. The indications in eastern New England are that the freshets will not do anything like the damage the high water in the early winter did unless the thaw continues heavy and without q break over the watersheds of the Penobscot, Kenne- bee and Androscoggin rivers In south ern New England and especially Mas sachusetts the snow has gone entirely, and the thaw is thus ended. The dam age done and likely to come is along the streams which turn the wheels of mills employing ill the aggregate 100,- GOO operatives or more.

 Tennessee.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March B. Prince Henry of Prussia went up Lookout mountain yesterday and after viewing the ground where the Union and Confederate armies met in con- h1ct and hearing afresh the story of the battles resumed his journey to the north and west. Leaving Chattanooga over the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, his train ran through corner of Alabama and then, turning to the north, hurried across Tennessee, with a short stop at Nash vile; through Kentucky, with brief stays at Louisville and Bowling Green, and up into Indiana to another brief halt at Indianapolis. At Indianapolis the course was changed to the west ward again, and on the tracks of the Vandalia line his train started for St. Louis His reception in the south was hospitable and demonstratiye. The ne groes manifested great curiosity as to the prince, and they interested and amused him.
 He had an opportunity to hear them sing at Nashville and was greatly pleased at the experience It was the glee club of Fisk university that sang, and at the close he asked the young woman who led them to come into his car. He shook her hand and con- graduated her.
 There was great crowd at Chat tanooga, and the people presented the prince with a handsome souvenir of his visit. Nashville also made demon stration of friendliness, as did Louis vile and Indianapolis. At every sta ton along the route the people gather ed to salute him with cheers. There was much enthusiasm over Admiral Evans as well.
 Prince Henry was delighted with his southern tour, and as he was leaving Nashville he said: "The people have been very kind to me Everywhere they have received me in the kindliest manner, and I very deeply appreciate it. I wish they might all know how thankful am."
 Fully 15000 people greeted Prince Henry, who arrived at 11:05 o'clock. The run from Louisville was made without special incident.

Herman Gartz Fined $2O and Costs on
 Two Complaints.
 A young fellow named William Glynn and his girl were the cause of having Herman Gartz, saloon keeper on West Main street, fined $20 and costs on two complaints in the city court this morning by Judge Peasley. Glynn halls from Union City and is a minor, but nevertheless has a girl The girl lives in the block in which Gartz keeps his saloon. Gartz has repeatedly ob- jected to courting in the hallway It hindered him from doing business with persons who do not wish to be seen entering saloons, but take their fill nevertheless. So that last evening when Gartz was feeling happy, and seeing Glynn and his girl in the hall- way, he mistook Glynn for some one who had been annoying him to sell drink, and he buclxled into the Rubber town beau. Glynn complained to an officer and Gartz was arrested and charged with intoxication and assault It was his first time in court and as he is about 40 years of age, those who heard the case thought he was rather severly dealt with. He took an ap- peal.
 Michael Dooley was fined $1O and costs for intoxication.

REPRESENTATIVES, LOSSES.
Factories and Galleries nt n stand.
 stiIl--Riyers Receding.


 PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-The SchuyllSill river is again within it's banks and close to it's normal condi- ton. The work of cleaning up was be- gun during the night, and the railroads which skirt the shores of the river have resumed operation.
 The destruction wrought by the storm was so great that many indus trial establishments along the rivers banks will be unable to resume work for several days. Quite q number of buildings used for manufacturing pur- poses had their foundations weakened and machinery clogged with mud.
 All reports from up river points carry the information that great damage was done. The various towns, now that the water has receded, are rapidly recover ing their normal condition. The cleo tric light plants, street railways and water companies are resuming work as best they can. The big iron works at Pottstown, which suffered considera- bly, from the swollen waters, partially resumed operations today.
 The flood in the Lehigh river is rap- idly receding after reaching the high est mark on record. The Delaware river is still high, but no further dam age is feared from that waterway. The Central Railroad of New Jersey is badly crippled hereabouts, although it's trains are running regular between Phillipsburg, N. J., across the Della ware river from Easton, to New York.
 A dispatch from Susquehanna says that the Susquehanna river is the high est ill twenty-five years. The heavy body of ice between Binghamton and Cooperstown has passed out. but has done much damage. The tannery build ing at Red Rock was carried down stream and took with it section of the county bridge connecting Great Bend and Hallstead.
 A thirteen foot flood in the Susque- hanna river at Sudbury threatens the town with serious damage. Back wa ter has flooded the lower or central portion of the town to a depth of from four to six feet, and the residents were forced to seek shelter on the high lands, leaving their household effects to the mercy of the water.
 The second and third piers of the fa- nous old Camelback bridge at Harris burg have been washed away by high water. The bridge was built in 1916 and was probably the oldest bridge across the Susquehanna river. It is owned by Harrisburg capitalists and will immediately be rebuilt. South Harrisburg is under water, and many of the families in that locality are liv- ing in the upper stories of their homes. Two hundred persons sought safety in the schoolhouse at Lochiel.
 At Wilkesbarre heavy rainfall and rush of water from its upper tributa ries caused the north branch of the Susquehanna river to rise rapidly until the gauge showed 31 feet inches above low water mark. This high wa ter mark is equal to that of 1865, which has always been known as q record breaker. The city's loss is over S1, 100000.
