Fewer MARRIAGES.

Statistics would seem to prove that
marriage is becoming an unpopular in
stitution in England. The registrar
general shows, in his annual return
just issued, that the marriage rate in
19o3-15.6 per 1000 OF the population
was the lowest since 1896. The birth
rate in 19o5-2sz per 1000 CT popuIa-
tion-was the lowest on record, and
the same has to be said for the death
rate-15.4 per 1000 persons Living.

In case Of hand-to-hand fight this,
1t is feared, might be demoralizing to
the American troops. To correct this
the whole army would have to be
equipped with new style rife and bayo-
net. The president thinks this should
be done without loss of time. He is
greatly Impressed with the fact that in
practically every severe engagement in
Manchuria, even at Port Arthur. the SOL
dlers came to hand grips.
On the other hand, the lessons of the
naval actions in the far east are all for
longer and bigger range guns. This is
exactly the reverse Of the conclusions
formed at the close of the Spanish
American war; but that affair is now
regarded as very trifling one and net
instructive in the real business of md
ern naval warfare. So, in place of medi-
um and low caliber guns on the battle
ships the new orders are all for fewer
and bigger. Only enough small guns
are to be put on to repel the attacks of
the mosquito fleet and torpedo boats,
all the rest of the ships being devoted
to the enormous ten and eleven inch
guns.

MASON DIDN'r CARE
Objected to Nothing Except Having
 Eis Throat Cut.

James Mason is at the city hall un- dSr police protection though not under arrest. His only off nse was a mis- fortune that resulted from a bad jag. and through which he shed so much blood that those who saw him thought h. was go ng to deliberately b.eed to death About 10 o'clock yesterday morning Policeman Moore received a telephone message from the Hardwick hotel. that a man had fallen down on the sidewalk in front of that place and was then engaged in the occupation of bleeding to death. The officer hurried to the spot and found that Mason had slipped and-in falling had hit his head against the side of the building, cut ting a gash of great length in the scalp and severing a large blood vessel His clothes were saturated with blood and it was the fear Of all who saw him that he would bleed to Ceath.
 With the assistance Of Deputy Sher- if Joe Balsz. MT Moore took Mason to the city hall where he was made as comfortable as possible in the woman's $ cell. Dr. Plath gave him attention. sewing up his lacerated scalp. After the wound had been dressed he tried to tear off the bandages and to pre- vent him it was necessary to handcud him. Thus subdUed he finally went to sleep and it is believed. he will be able to take care of himself this morning.
 During the dressing of his wound he was very fighty, either from the in jury or the liquor, and made many remarks that at the time seemed fun ny. He seemed to have a vague idea that he was undergoing very heroic treatment Cf some kind though he did not know just what. His remarks in dicated that he thought he was try ing to put down the riots at Baku and was getting the worst of it. Among other things he told the doctor that he didn't care how much Ee hurt him so long as he didn't cut his throat. And when the physician got busy with a needle and thread he sad, That's right, sew up everything, I don't care; sew up my mouth if you wan5 to; do anything you wish, onty don't cut my throat

EAST ALDER STREET PAVEMENT

Editor of Evening Statesman:
The SO called unnecessary talk and
wrangle over the paving of East Alder
street seems to worrying some of our
citizens. Through their public spirit
they appear to favor railroading mat
tiers through without allowing the city
officials necessary time for investiga-
ton.
These citizens are undoubtedly ap
prised of the fact that samples of btu
litnic pavement must be submitted in
lieu of the conglomerated stuff now so
freely floating about town which has
no semblance of pavement according
to the terms of the specifications.
1t is not the policy of the Barber As
phalt Paving company to put up the
bars against anything of merit coming
to this city though they are strongly
accused of it. They claim merit for
their pavement and are not asking the
Guy COuuCll 10 ClOSG tHc uOOIS VI COIl-
petition or railroad matters.
1t is incumbent upon the city to
thoroughly investigate matters and
that is what it is doing. In the i'm
provements the city has equal rights
which must be maintained by it's Off
Gals.
In the early days when it was little
dreamed that this hamlet was the
making of a city, buildings were erect
ed and sidewalks built without regard
to grade. Today it is plainly seen that
great benefits would now be derived
had the officials required all improve
ments to be made to line and grade.
The city is now confronted with an
other case in which some of the prop
erty owners claim that the city will
not be held responsible if they are al

INDOOR FASHIONS.
Elective Creations Evolved From
Beautiful Fabrics.

Beautiful Fabrics.
Until the arrival Of Lent the social
whirl makes novel gowns and hand
some wraps as necessary as bread and
butter. Right in the heart OF winter
street gowns have less Importance than
something extra fine and dainty for in
door wear. Theaters, concerts and
grand opera all demand fine dressing,
and so we naturally yield. Yet it is a
pity that some one has not invented a
new fabric, for now we are limited to
silk, satin, velvet, lace and chiffon for
evening attire, with here and there a
crepe de chine robe or one made Of
the elegant and rich light colored
broadcloth. But no one seems to wish
to purchase Immortality by producing
q new material. Some one might grasp
a few moonbeams and hang them on a
spider web and leave the fabric thus
made out all night to catch the dew
drops and possibly fix the shadow Of
the Towering vines over all. Would
not that be worth living for? It would
seem that scarcely anything else is
left us.
We have as the great standbys, for
this season anyhow, silks and velvets,
with chiffon as the dessert, for, no
matter what the combination OF
gown. it is not complete this year un-
less there is chiffon somewhere. 1t is
seen in ruches, in shirrings and, in
fact. in SO many different fancies that
l do not know the names Of half Of
them. The result is that they tighten
and ornament everything upon which
they are placed. Skirts Of dresses in
the prettiest of the new house and re-
ception gowns are divided, like the
house we read of, against themselves
by having thick rows Of ruching Of
chiffon Stimulating double skirts and
panels until one is in doubt as to the
original plan.
For instance, one beautiful gown
made on the general lines Of Wat
teau, though still having several points
entirely different, had the gown proper
made of a superb quality Of pompadour
silk in the delicate pink and blue Of
that old style, and the skirt was gath
cred very full over TIT hips and opened
in front over panel Of cream colored
taffeta. All along the edges Of the
pompadour portion there were ruches
Of chiffon also arranged to simulate
two overskirts. The corsage to accom-
pany this skirt should be snug to the
figure and cut half low, with as much
lace and chiffon as can possibly be
made to hang on.
For many seasons it has been quite
the proper style to have chiffon in
quantities added to evening capes and
other wraps. This has usually been
