He Found It.

The following story is told of a
very religious merchant doing bust
ness in a town, who's location shall
be nameless. He always told his
clerks to do nothing that was not
warranted by the Bible. One day
he learned that a clerk had charged
customer So for a $3.50 article.
"Can you think of Bible quotation
that would warrant such conduct -
He asked the clerk. The clerk said
he could and quoted this "Behold he
was a stranger and I took him in.

Fortunate Compromise.

Peoria, ILL.,, August 5.-Bishop
Spalding, speaking Of Bishop Potter's
church saloon, says.
GAS to the experiment in New
York designed to meet conditions
greatly different fro mthose which OBJ
tain here, it is difficult tospeak intel
ligently. I suppose we can rely upon
New York to meet her own civic and
social problems, but in general it
seems to me that so far as this new
saloon tends to mitigate the old evils
it may be accepted as a fortunate com
promise measure.
"I should welcome any innovation
that would tend to minimize the gros-
ser manifestations of the drink evil,
and while this experiment can scarce
ly be thought to be of significance
when the scope of the liquor traffic is
considered, it may be looked upon as
an indication that the old and righte-
Gus battle for more orderly, a more
decent condition Of life in our cities
is not being suffered to decline. To
my mind, it is visionary to suppose
that prohibition can be established in
our great cities. Certain highly i'm
moral tendencies which exist at this
time in connection with the saloon,
however, can be eradicated, and the
blow should, to my mind, be struck
G,c& @h,& l,uoo+.ox,
"The worse curse of the saloon, a:
it is now conducted, is the dance hall
maintained in connection. This is a
mere interchamber to the brothel and
sin needless. Then there are city or
dinances governing closing These are
of primary Importance TO the refor-
mer, and there is no reason why they
should not be remodeled SC as to close
the gin shop at decent hour. 1t is
late closing that strikes at the very
heart Of the family life''

NEW HAVEN

Owing to the fact that "Kid' Nc
Gov and his brother Homer Selby are
related to parties here in Richmond,
the following dispatch will be inter-
esting:
New York, August 6.-Homer Sell
by. a brother of "Kid' Mccoy, the
prize fighter, and himself a we'll
known sporting character, went to
New Haven with his wife, Resale
Boyere, who is a sister Of Florence
Boyere, his divorced wife, yesterday,
took out a marrige license and had the
knot, which was tied once two years
ago, tied all over again.
Why he did it nobody knows, and
neither Selby nor his wife could be
found in town to explain their re-
markable performance. They posed
in New Haven as a pair OF young
clippers and in answer to the usual
questions the "bride' declared that
she had never been married before.
She then blushingly expressed the
hope that the marriage would be kept
secret, until she could herself tell
"papa and mammal
In 1892 Selby and his first wife,
Florence Boyere, beautiful French
Canadian, had a falling out in this
city and Mrs. Selby got divorce on
the statutory grounds. Mrs. Selby
had a sister, Rosalie, whose beauty
had attracted a good deal of attention
and soon after the divorce Selby be-
gan counting her. Within a few
months they were married and Selby
became the brother-in-law of his
| former wife.
The latter also took what she
thought a second plunge into matri-
mony but the courts decided after
ward that it was no 60. She met
George Whittell, grandson of Mich
olas Luning, a famous millionaire
money lender of old New York days
She alleged afterwards that she had
an agreement with Whittell by which
they were to be married as soon as
she got her divorce from Selby. In
stead of having a ceremony perform
ed, however, they drew up marriage
contracts, each signing one, and Their
went to live together as man anG
wife. Whittell did not record the
marriage contracts because he feared
the wrath Of his family.
He said in answer to the usual ques
lions that he was twenty-eight years
old, hailed from Illinois, that he hac
been married, but divorced. Mis-:
Boyere said she was twenty-five year:
old, of France, Canada, and that sh'
had never been married. Selby sait
he wanted quick marriage, and {
clerk in the bureau said that one o:
his friends in the clerical force of tn
charities department was a justice O.
the peace and would be glad to do tn
Job. "He'll do,'' said Selby, "ge
him here quick.'' The clerk got Jus
tice George Rowe to perform the Ger
emory.
James P. Campbell, business NAL
who happened to be around am
James F. MCGOWAN, of Chicago,
traveller, were rung in as witnesse
and the wedding was performed.
Selby didn't lose any time gettin
, out of New Haven afterward. H

He could not be found in towr

COLD WAVE CHECKS FLOODS
No Further Danger Is Apprehended
from High Water in Portions
of Pennsylvania.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 5.-The crest
of the flood reached here at eight clock
yesterday morning, when the Hers
island marks showed 20 feet one inch
in the Allegheny river at that point
The water is slowly receding and no
further danger is apprehended, the cold
wave having checked the rise. The
damage done by the flood will probably
not exceed $250,000.
Along Pine creek and in Turtle creek
valley, especially, the havoc was be-
yond any done in recent years. In the
two cities it was not so great, but many
industrial establishments along the
two rivers were compelled to close
down and thousands of men were
thrown out of work. The railroads Of
the district suffered to an unusual ex-
tent, and landslides added to the hand
leaps imposed by the high water itself.

TRADE REVIEW.
In Spite of Effect of Bad Weather Con-

New York, March 5.-R. G. Dun e.

Business continued to improve, de-
spite the difficulty of low temperature
and high prices. Weather conditions
have been singularly unpropitious,'
deep snow retarding distribution of
merchandise and excessive cold delay

structural work. Yet retailers are
making extensive preparations and
plans are submitted for numerous
building operations. 1t may be said
with some degree of assurance that the
iron and steel industry has made fur

UPHOLDs PLURAL MARRIAGE
President Smith Gives Testimony
Before Senate Committee in
the Smoot Inquiry.

Washington, March 3.-Mo'monism
was placed on trial before the senate
committee on privileges and elections
yesterday when the taking of testimony
was begun to determine Whether Reed
SmOot, of Utah, should retain his seat
in the senate. Joseph D. Smith, presi-
dent of the Mormon church, was on the
witness stand all day and in his testi-
mony admitted that he believed polyg-
amy to be right and that the governing
bodies of the church held the same po-
sition, and that the church still taught
polygamy.
With startling frankness Mr.. Smith
admitted-or rather proudly declared
that he is polygamist, that he has con-
tinued to live and cohabit with several
wives, and has had children born to him
by his plural wives in open violation of
the law since the manifesto of 1890. He
stated unreservedly and unhesitatingly
that he knew he was violating the law,
but preferred to do so rather than give
up his wives.
Washington, March 5-Pres ident Jo-
seph F. Smith, of the Mormon church,
was called to the stand by Senator Hoar
at the opening of Fridays proceedings
before the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections in the invest: gation
of protests against Senator Reed Smoot,
of Utah. Senator Hoar desired informa-
ton on the subject of the rights of
women in the church and whether they
hold any priestly authority.
Mr.. Smith said the women are regard
ed as the equals of the men in all mat
tiers of voting, but that in holding
"priestly authority" women are not re-
garded on the same plane. He explained
that the women have a charitable asso-
citation known as the "Womans Relief
Society,"" in which they have authority
to perform certain prescribed duties.
This authority is confined to the reliev-
ing of distress, but women are not or
dained high priests, apostles or elders

Senator Fairbanks Would Not Re-

for Vice President.

Washington, March 5.-The Star
says: Senator Fairbanks will not re-
sist movement to make him the vice
presidential nominee of the republican
party. If the convention dominates
him he will accept. More than that,
he will not attempt to discourage eff
forts looking to his nomination. 1t is
only fair to say that no explicit declar-
alton by Senator Fairbanks to that eff
feet has been made. The Indiana dele
cation in congress is convinced that
Senator Fairbanks has yielded to the
solicitation of men high in the councils
of Indiana to take second place on the
national ticket"

The wages of a common soldier in
the regular army of Russia do not
amount to more than 1 cent day,
though his food, clothing and equip
ment are provided by the government.
His regular allowances for spending
money for all purposes is just a little
more than ruble year, but extras
of various kinds bring the grand total
up to little less than 81. This sum
is supposed to cover all his expendi-

of every kind. The enlisted men in

than three times that amount per

Japanese in the management of that
class of vessel. The Japanese under

had thoroughly learned their lesson,

wanted to stop they discovered that
they had forgotten how this operation

Vodka, a drink that is as popular
with the Russians as beer is with the
Germans, slIvowitz with the Hunga-
rians, ale with the English, or high
balls with the Americans, is very
much to the front just now down in
the Russian quarters. Vodka is very
stimulating, and there's need of
something with which to keep up cour-
age these days. Like the Hungarian
slivowitz, the Russian drink is of an
extremely high proof, which makes
it dangerous for anyone but Russian
to take aboard anything but a moder-
ate quantity.
