ward arrested him.
Senator Campbell said he could give no
reason for the assault upon him. Riley
has had grievances against Senator
Campbell for a number of years and had
previously threatened to assault Camp
bell.
Mr.. Riley was chairman of the commit
tee on civil service of the senate two
years ago. He said today that one day
the senate met an hour ahead of time,
without notifying him. and rushed
through a bill with amendments for
which he was criticised by the Legisla-
tive Voters League. Riley's record was
attacked. he was defeated for renomina-
ton, and since then has held Senator
Campbell and what Riley called the
senate combination responsible.

No Appropriation Provided.


Continuing, the committees report says:
'-The resolution provides for no approprl-
alton, although the work required under it
will cost about $4,000 in the judgment OF
the director of the census. The statistics
can be collected by the present official staff
of the census Office in connection with other
work, and it is the judgment of the director
that the work can be done out of the gen
eral appropriation for that Office for the
year 1895.
The Institution of marriage is at the
very foundation of our social organization,
and influences that affect 1t are of vital
concern to all the people. No statistics can
be of more general Importance to the well
fare of the country than those upon the
subject of marriage and divorce.
"A conference was recently held in this
city composed of representatives of various
religious denominations in the country,
and, among .other things, the subject of
marriage and divorce received considera-
ton. A committee appointed by that con-
ference called upon the President of the
United States, and in receiving it he ex-
pressed his views upon this question in the
following language:
The Presidents Interest.
Bishop Doane and gentlemen: 1t is a
very great pleasure to meet you here
There is certain tendency to exalt the
unessential in dealing with our public ques-
get their attention concentrated on ques-
tions that have an importance, but wholly
ephemeral Importance, compared with the
questions that go straight to the root OF
things Questions like the tarfn and the
currency are of literally no consequence
whatsoever compared with the vital ques-
ton of having the amt of our social life,
the home, preserved. 1t is Impossible TO
overstate the importance of the cause you
represent If the average husband and wife
fulfill their duties toward one another ana
toward their children as Christianity
teaches them then we may rest absolutely
assured that the other problems will solve
themselves. But if we have solved every
other problem in the wisest possible way
it shall profit nothing If We have lost
our own national soul, and will have
the relations of the family put upon the
proper basis.
"'While / do not know exactly what IL
is that YOU wish me to do, L can say In
advance that so far as In me all VIII De
done to cooperate with you toward the
end that you have in view. One OF the
most unplea SAINT and dangerous features
of our American life is the diminishing
birth rate and the loosening of the mari
tai tie among the old native American
families. 1t goes without saying that, for
the race as for the individual, no material
prosperity no business growth, no ar
tistic or scientific development will count
If the race commits suicide. Therefore,
bishop, l count myself fortunate in hav-
ing the chance to work with you in this
matter of vital Importance to the ma
tional welfare
In view of the general Importance of
this subject the committee ON the census
is of the opinion that the resolution
ought to be adopted without delay"

Wherewith shall the small boys and
girls be clothed? This question is agt-
tating mothers the land over; every
day now the lads and lassies appear in
public-have to put their best foot for
ward.
There are ready-made suits for both
that some little home-sewing can make
strong and neat, and these are coming
more and more into demand. The
home made clothes wear much better
however, and the woman at all skill
full with the needle prefers to make
frocks and blouses herself.
Let US first consider boys clothes
contrary to the susual custom. It sure
" is a question for congratulation on
the part of the child himself that the
more manly sailor suit is regaining its
old popularity; whilst Knockers and
Russian blouse continue in favor, the
trousers and blouse emerge from the
background. For the little kindergar-
ten boy there is pretty model in
black and white shepherds plaid, the
insignia on the sleeve worked in scar
let and the necktie of this same gay
hue. If boy has reached the stage OF
graduation from the kindergarten and
is going to real school," he proudly
dons a two-piece suit, not so very Tar
from the kind father wears. To be sure
the trousers are short, the coat rather
sack-like, but there are real trousers,
a boys coat.
The tie in favor now is the Windsor.
and we recommend washable one as
by far the best choice for every day;
the silk will do for Sundays. Very good
wash Windsors are to be had at small
price. and there is variety of colors
to select from. We had called to our
notice lately a neat sailor suit of dark
blue serge with collar and cuffs of dull
blue linen, these detachable, and there
fore practical to trim with white braid.
A boy likes cap better than any other
headgear, and by all means let him
have a school cap; it is jaunty and it
stands hard usage.
Now as to the girls school clothes.
The very little ones should wear one
piece frocks, as simple as possible,
that they may be tubbed often. The
neat little model here shown is made
on lining which Breaches to a little
below the arm-holes. Over this the
yoke is fitted, the collar, a novel shape
with v back and front, is put on as
finishing touch. The frock may be
made of cotton or wool, but either must
be washable.
Some children wear heavy cottons all
vinter. and this Ia q very sensible.

if you wanted to put the thing through

if you wanted to put the thing through
quickly"
The swindling schatchen has two
possible methods Of procedure. 1t de-
ponds upon his nerve as to which he
adopts. If he be a brazen specimen
he will advertise himself frankly as
schatchen, and bring as many men
and girls together as possible, ask
ing commission for his services. The
men are always picked from his own
band, and the same man will marry
and rob half a dozen girls before he
decides to leave town and try a new
field of activity.
The other method is more subtle
and infinitely more dangerous. Here
again, we find the band, the swindiing
broker, the trusting girl and the black
leg prepared to marry as many wom-
en- as he can conveniently pauperize in
q limited space of time. But in this
case the marriage broker is less cour-
ageous, and hides his nefarious trade
behind the screen of some legitimate
and blatently advertised business.
Employment Agencies.
The favorite cloak of these schat-
chens is an employment agency"
They have large signs, front offices,
desks, ledgers, and all the costliest
paraphernalia.
To them come girls in search of
work-most of them foreigners just
from the other side. The girls names
are entered, their looks and savings
are estimated, and the willy employ
ment agent talks matrimony, the COM
forts of home and being settled for
life into the girls ears.
The girls who are amenable to the
agents reasoning find husbands speed
lily for the coming, their small earn
ings are taken away, and Immediately
afterward they are deserted and en-
tirely without funds. They may APP
peal to the police, but the husbands
have gone, and who can touch the
agent? He knew nothing about the
mans disreputable character, OF
course, and had nothing to do with
the matter beyond introducing one
young person to another.
Bands Work in Unison.
AS has been said before, the team
work." or concerted action, of these
matrimonial bands is rather extraor-
binary. The interdependence Of the
members is of necessity tremendous,
and the men all stand in with one an
other so successfully as to drive the
police and the plain-clothes men fran
tic. The best chance for the force
comes when some one man, to save
and square himself, peaches on an
other, and so destroys little of that
perfect harmony in the organization
of crooks.
Sometimes, Of course, broker cheats
one of his men, or man goes back on
the broker and fails to give up the
promised share Of the plunder OBJ
