Jackson's Love for Ms Wife.

Andrew Jackson's wife died
suddenly, just after he had been
elected President Ii was a great
blow to him and he was never the
same again, though his strength
of will and his desperate courage
fought with this infinite pain. For
the. rest OF his life he lived as she
would have had him live, guided
his actions by the thought Of what
his wife living would have him do
loving her still with the love
that passeth all understanding
AS the years went by this love
became almost sacred. Every
night before he retired he read her
prayer book, with her miniature,
which he always wore in his breast
placed beside it. He was a lover
still at seventy eight, for just be-
fore he died he said, with linger-
ing tenderness, Heaven will be
no heaven to me il / do not meet
my wife there"
He declined the sarcophagus iii
for an emperor, that he might be
buried as simple citizen, in the
garden by her side. His last words
were of her, his last look rested
upon her portrait, that hung di.
rectly opposite his bed, and If
there be dreaming in the dark, the
vision of her brought him peace
at last.-May Woman's Home

SLOW TO WED.
FIGURES SHOW RACE SUICIDE
Philadelphia Record

The fact that the educated men
of today do not marry. and. marri-
ed, do not have the same number
of children that the same class of
men did twenty years ago is strong
ly brought out by some statistics
cullei from the records of the gra
dustes Of the University Of Penn
sylyania for the past thirty years.
In every class during the seventies
the number Of children born 10
the graduates exceeds the number
of men that graduated. while in
the classes during the twenty odd
years since then, not one class has
thus far produced as many child
rem as there were men in the class
at graduation. and in only one
case does the number OF children
come up to even half the size OF
the class of graduation.
No more striking proof OF race
suicide" in the present day could
be found. The number OF Maria
ges among the recent graduates
and those Of long ago do not differ
much, but the proportion Of chill
dren in these times is very much
smaller, aud even the classes that
have been out for ten OF fifteen
years show no sign OF ever repro
duoing the race.
College men also marry later
than does ths average man, and
thought eventually about ~ per
cent. marry, yet the majority do
not marry until they are past thir
~. Daring the first five years out
Of college the statisticians show
that 20 per cent. of the men mar
~, during the next five years %
per cent. marry, and during the
next ten years 30 per cent. IL the
average age of graduation is TWEEN
ty.two years, which is nearly cor
rect for the academic department.
this would make ~ per cent. who
marry before the age Of thlrty-two
and - per cent. between the ages
Of thirty-two and forty.two.
The classes that graduated be-
fore 1850 married IN proportion
from 90 per cent. to 80 per
cent. of the total number Uf the
ella IS, which does not differ great
ly from the averages since 1850,
but in the matter of children there
is a vast difference.
The Glasses since 1893 can hard
ly be viewed in the same way as
the older classes at this time, but
in no case has the number Of chill
dren equaled more than half the
number of marriages.

DID,, and his family. A regular program
was prepared and executed The Rev. John
r. Wright presided, and to a march on the
piano the pastor. his wife, two daughters
and son, Mr.. c. Clark, were conducted
to seats prepared for them. The old Meth
od1st hymn, "Blest Be the Tie that Binds"

but also of their loyalty for the future
Miss Mary B. Finney, with Miss Edith B.
Athey as accompanist, sang with good eff
feet solo.
In reply to the many expressions of well
come, DR.. Clark said he greatly appre-
ciated all that had been said, and the more
SO because 1t was his third term, and that
he believed that their love and good feeling
for each other was mutual.

pleasing manner, expressed for the various
ladies' societies the great love and esteem
they had for Mrs. Clark and presented to

citation.

Live Without Pretense.
rom the Milwaukee Journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
Be true; be genuine. 1t is useless to try
to appear that which you are not. Your
professions OF friendship or of love will not
have the true ring to them If not genuine
You may deceive the unsuspicious for a
time, but you will be sure to betray YOUR
self soon or late, and call contempt upon
yourself. If you would seem something In
the eyes Of others, let your efforts turn to
being that thing rather than seeming. If
you would seem a friend, be one. If you
would seem kind or generous. train your
self to be that in your heart. If you would
be thought wise, do not assume to possess
a great knowledge that you have not The
more wise man really is, the less wisdom
he assumes. If you pretend to a knowledge
you do not have, 1t will surely be seen
through, and will bring ridicule upon your
self from those whom you wished to i'm
press with your superior ability.
Nor Will II pay you any better to assume
a s.yle or living or seem to possess wealth
which your real means do not warrant 1t
may impose upon some ignorant persons
but 1t will be understood by those in
whose esteem you wished to appear great
Nor can you better conceal an assumption
OF being on terms of intimacy with those
above you in station. You will call out the
criticism Of both those above and those be-
low you. The public in general is not to be
deceived in any such way. 1t may answer
for time. but think Of the disgrace when
you are FOUND out, as you are sure to he
II you are a fraud, it will certainly be pub
lished far and wide. The surest way TO
win the esteem worth the having, is TO be
true and genuine.

The New Star.

From the Baltimore American.
The star recently discovered by an Ok
ford professor is creating considerable in
terest, not only in astronomical but lay
circles. It Is not much Of a star after all.
1t is not as big as 3-cent piece, and can
not be seen with the naked eye. The in
terest is not so much In the star itself as
how 1t got there 1t is between the Milky
Way and Castor and Pollux but the con-
sensus Of scientific opinion seems to be
that 1t came out Of the Milky Way. This
would appear to weaken the theory re-
Gently announced that the earth was the
center of the world and the Milky Way a
lot of nebula. This new star came out of
the Milky Way, and where there Is ono
there may be billion, which is the position
or theory entertained by a number of the
greatest astronomers. It is claimed that
the new star was formed by the collision of
two other bodies. This cannot be more
than speculation. If there were two bod
les in the Milky Way of sufficient density
to run into each other and leave this star
a residuum it must be- apparent that the
brightness which engirts the heavens on
every starlight night contains something
besides vapor.

An Anti-Corset League.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Certain young men in Bangor, up in the
slate regions Of Pennsylvania, having made
a conscientious search of themselves and
finding they are without blemish or fault Of
their own, have organized a reform cruz
SADIE They propose to reform the corset
reform 1t out of existence, we suppose,
from the advance announcements Of the
movement.
and the young men who compose it pro-
pose not only to wear no corsets them
selves. but to see that no one else wears
corset-wearing is to be diffused regardless
of cost; all men are advised mot to marry
a corset wreck" or any woman who will
not abandon the use of the corset. Each
member of this league Is pledged not to
have anything to do with any girl who per-
sists in the abominable corset habit-not
even to buy them caramels and ice cream.
This is reform that means business.
Thousands and thousands of reformers
for thousands of years have been at work
on the reform of the corset. since IT was
one of the indispensable things included
in Ewes first Easter outfit. The JOB mas
never yet been completed because IL mas
not before been undertaken by the young
men of Bangor. These young men were
constructed and set down at Bangor
where the corset seems to nave some
special iniquities-for this particular work
of reform They know all the wicked things
the corset Is capable of; they are familiar
with it's depravity; they are determined IN
their purpose. The corset must get out OF
the way.

on March 10 again asked Mr.. 'Kilbourn If he
would answer the questions he had de-

The following day the scemmittee, with
the exception of Mr.. Pratt of Iowa, report
ed Mr.. Kilbourn as being in contempt of the
House, and the sergeant-at-arms appeared
at the bar of the House with Mr. Kilbourn,
whom he had arrested on a warrant issued
by Speaker Kerr In response to a resolu-
ton of the House.
When Mr.. Kilbourn was arraigned he pre-
sented statement to the House which was
read by the clerk. 1t was a remarkable
document, and closed as follows:
Il am far from desiring to stand in the
way of any investigation you may please to
make concerning public affairs On the
contrary, 1 will freely give you all the aid
I can. But cannot submit to examination
Of my private business unless some reason
be assigned for it. If the House insists
must take the consequence. I solemnly
trust that the whole House will see the
the district attorney for prosecution or else
cOnvicting me here.
Speaker Kerr then asked Mr. Kilbourn
If he was prepared to answer upon the de-
mand of the committee where each of the
five members of the real estate pool resided.
A resolution presented by Mr.. Glover de-
claring Kilbourn in contempt of the House
was then passed. Mr.. Kilbourn was there
upon taken, on the afternoon of March IA,
to the District Jail and imprisoned. After
much excitement, debate, etc, he was re-
leased upon writ of habeas corpus, issued
by Chief Justice Cartier of the District Sill
preme Court.
Mr.. Kilbourn then brought suit for
false Imprisonment against Sergeant-at-
Arms John G. Thompson, Speaker Kerr and
members of the Glover committee for false
Imprisonment for having had him confined
in the District Jail forty-five days. Suisse
quently Mr.. Kilbourn received $4,000 for
the indignity put upon him.
