Sir Your correspondent Constitution, N a
communication which appears IN The Tribune this
morning relative 20 the Snoot Inquiry. says:
1T IS the first time that religious matters have
been dragged into a political arena and the other
sects ought 10 beware Of what IS being done" and
II is suggested that the investigating should be
done in the courts"
That question has been very learnedly discussed
before and clearly settled by the United States
Supreme Court which has held that the creed Of
the Nornons. tolerating polygamy. Is not re-
uEion. and that the adherents OF that abhorrent
inQuity cannot reasonably and validity invoke the
legal protection accorded 70 religious privileges tor

years has the value Of gold been in excess of the value of eggs in the Unit ed States.
 Uncle sam's flock of hens laid more than 1,250. .oo0.0OO dozens of eggs in one year, This is not estimated, but it is exact, according to recent statistics.
 And then please go back to the dun-colored eackler that roosts in the thy ramshackle houses and drops her golden egg. says the Kansas City Star. into any old box that the farmer happens to have picked up; and behold! all the tons of canned and fresh and salted beef, all the talloW, all the bacon and hams, all the canned and salted and fresh pork, all the sausages and the sausage meat, yes, and all the cas- ings for these sausages and the hun dred shxings" that are exported as the result of the mad hustle, hustle, hustle across the continent of locomotive and car, and exported by a hundred diff ferent lines of ships, do not come with in 1SO,000 tons of the weight of the eggs laid during the year in the Unit ed States.
 \" For the weight of all those animal products is only S46,S60 tons and the weight of the 1,25O,OO0. .0OO dozens of eggs, at the average weight of 8 to the pound, is 97o,96S tons. That would ex- tinguish the entire United States Navy, from the Keasarge to the Alabama down to the tiniest torpedo boat. If the yolk were to be hurled down on it at once there wouldn't be rivet left,
 "tA And in dollars those eggs equal 57 per cent. of the entire income produced by all the exports of the meat products, from the pigs tail to the sirloin steak. Add the meat products are beaten

RoosEvELTs REMARKABLE GA.

fLIJEltt.
 The election of MT. Roosevelt is the culmination-up to the present time of one of the most remarkable careers
 known to our history.
 Twenty-three years ago, only three years out of college, MT Roosevelt was
 elected and reelected to the assembly
 for three successive terms, and in that
 body, apart from his generally efficient
 service, linked his name first with the
 law for the reform of the civil service,
 and second with a searching investiga- tion into the affairs of this city, the re-
 suits of which deeply stirred public
 sentiment. As chairman of the United States civil service commission for six years, the entire term of President
 Harrison, and half the second term of
 MT Cleveland, he rendered signal aid in the firm establishment of the sound principles of the merit system. In 1895 he was called to the police department in this city, upon which his energy and capability left lasting impression. Transferred to the department of the navy as assistant secretary, his infiu- ence in the organization of the victory that came so promptly and brilliantly in the war with Spain was cordially ac- knowledged by the secretary and the president. Tn that war, as lleutenant- colonel and subsequently, colonel of the Rough Riders, he rendered substantial and faithful service. Then as governor of the state of New York he distin- guished his administration by the com plete overthrow of the evasiye and tricky system which had been con trived under his predecessor to 'beat" the civil service law, and, through the
 Greene commission prepared the way for the comprehensive improvement of
 the canals which was overwhelmingly approved by the people as soon as they
 had the opportunity to vote on it.
 Transferred rather by the accidents of politics than by logical promotion of
 his own desire to the presidency,
 and becoming president through the
 death of MT. Mckinley, he is the first
 among vice-presidents thus succeeding
 to the presidency to receive an election
 from the people
 Whatever those who opposed his election may believe as to the issues involved in the contest and his rela- itions to them, none can deny the con-
 vineing evidence his career affords of

| THE WEDDING FOOL FRIENDS.
 A wedding Friday night in this city had as its after-pIay, the Kidnapping" | of the bride. She was hustled into another carriage apart from her new made husband, driven about town, 1 brought back to her own home ait mid night and finally reunited to her hus- band after hours of doubt and delay. when both were semi-hystericaI.
 This is nonstrous. Scarcely a day passes that the newspapers do not re- cord how brutal fool friends at wed- dings have tramped the tender senti- ment of the hour under their swinish feet and used their brutish wit to put to shame, discomfort and a Ioathly public notice a man and woman at the supreme moment of their mutal love and united lives.
 Even among people of reserve, breed ing position, the horseplay that goes on it's inconceivable Tricks are played. Practical jokes are carried out with. noisy care and a brutal disregard of a moment sacred to the departure of young woman from the home of her youth and the dear love of her child hood and girl years. Carriages are bedecked, trunks festooned, pranks in numerable are played by young men and women who look on themselves as ladies and gentlemen, but who are really behaving like loutish boors of a brutal and vulgar fancy.
 III, offensive and noisome as this sky larking is among people of some posi- tion, at moment both serious and beautiful to those whom marriage is reality and the ceremony sacred, it passes belief what is done by those who have never learned manners and whose thoughts fly to vuIgarity as the sparks fly upward Bride and groom are handcuffed. Hotels at resorts where many newly wed couples come now keep supply of handcuff keys. Placards are printed. Handbills are l distributed. Telegrams are sent broad cast. An elaborate, vulgar and sug- gestive charivari is devised, of which the least objectionable feature Is It's noise and the worst is not to be des- cribed in plain print.
 | Wherever done, among those of train- l ing, without these advantages, these things are distasteful, disgraceful and shocking meddling with moments, by an universal consent, consecrated to those whose mutual life is just be- ginning. It is impossible for self-res- pecting. reserved and refined person, with an atom of breeding or even a very ordinary article of civilization and education, to understand the cerebral convolutions or the internal machinery of those to whom this sort of practical horseplay or boorish practical jokes seem funny or even conceivable. If some badgered groom were in worried desperation to shoot some audacious tormentor, most juries would acquit him.
 A practice begun with little light throwing of rice and slippers and a careless, unpremeditated frolic as the bride and groom left the wedding guests. has become a social nuisance and a boorish, disgusting habit of an order so vulgar, an effect so lowering and behavior so outrageous that the elders of the home at every marriage should see to 1t that 1t is reformed al- together as too odious to be longer endured. From the Philadelphia Press.

AN OBJECT LESSON
Tn a Restaurant.

A physician puts this query: Have you never noticed in any large restau- ant at lunch or dinner time the large number of hearty, vigorous old men at the tables: men whose ages run from sixty to eigthy years; many of them bald and all perhaps gray, but none of them feeble or senile?
 Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to have escaped your observation or comment, but nevertheless it is an ob- ject lesson which means something.
 If you will notice what these hearty old fellows are eating, you will observe that they are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly picking their way through a menu card of new fan gled health foods on the contrary they seem to prefer juicy roast of beef, ia properly turned loin of mutton, and even the deadly broiled lobster Is not altogether ignored.
 The point of all this is that vigor- ous old age depends upon good diges- sion and plenty of wholesome food and not upon dieting and endeavor to live upon bran crackers.
 There is a certain class of food cranks, who seem to believe that meat, coffee and many other good things are rank poisons, but these cadaverous, sickly looking individuals are walk ing condemnation of their own theories.
 The matter in nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural di- gestive juices in sufficient quantity, any wholesome food will be promptly digested; if the stomach does not do ,4.,s-, e<,1x ,5e, s1s one or two of Stuart's dyspepsia tab- lets after each meal will remove all difficulty, because they supply just what every weak stomach lacks pepsin hy- drochloric acid, diastase and nux.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upon the bowels and in fact are not strictly a medicine, as they act al- most entirely upon the food eaten, di- gesting it thoroughly and thus giving the stomach much needed rest and an appetite for the next meal
 Of people who travel, nine out of ten use Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets, know ing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time, and also having found out by experience that they are safe guard against indigestion in any form, and eating as they have to, at all hours and all kinds of food, the travelling public for years have pinned their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
 All druggists sell them for 50 cents for full-sized packages, and any drug- gist from Maine to California, if his opinion were asked will say that Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular and successful remedy for any stomach trouble.

THE pouLTRY BUSINESS.

How It Has Grown To Enormous
 Proportions.
 It Is very difficult to get clear Idea of the amount of money paid opt for poultry and eggs in the United States each year. The following is from the Arkansas Homestead.
 ''No business or industry has grown in the past decade like that of poultry. Both eggs and poultry are given much consideration these days, and the busi- ness that once provided pin money for women folks makes q great deal of the entire living, and in some instances all of the living and some more. The hen has been scratching in her own humble way until she now outranks many of the leading industries of the world. The value of her product is greater than the whole value of the wheat crops of 2S States and Territories in one year. Only once in the past 5t
