Whether the wedding is to be small
or large, it is essential that careful
lists should be made of the friends of
both families, in order that no omis-
sions may be made. If invitations are
to be engraved, they must be ordered
a month ahead.
When wedding is to be small and
informal, the custom is for the brides
mother to write informal notes of in
vitation These are sent to all friends
and to friends of the bridegroom, al
though they may not be known person
ally to the parents of the bride, and
may be at distance and not expected
to be present
\ bride who elects to be married in
a travelling dress wears hat and gloves.
She does not have bridesmaids. If
married in a white bridal dress she has
bridesmaids and maid-Of-hOnOr, or
only a maid-Of- honor. A matrOn-Of-
honor is occasionally chosen if a bride
has a very youthful married friend.
At day wedding in church,
bridemaids wear hats. At a home
wedding they dispense with hats and
wear pretty ornaments in the hair,
wreaths or sprays of artificial flowers.
If a brides parents can well afford the
expense, the bridesmaids gowns are
paid for by the bride: but, at least, it
is her duty to choose a style of gown
within the limits of her bridesmaids
means and which will be of use after
wards
Before the wedding day bride
usually gives a farewell luncheon to
her bridesmaids, and on the occasion
gives presents to them. These gifts
should be duplicates.
A bridegroom purchases the wedding
ring. provides the clergyman's fee, and
provides the carriage for his best man
and himself to go to the church or
house He may have the privilege of
providing the carriage which is to
take the bride and himself from her
fathers house to the train after the
wedding
The fee for the clergyman should
be placed i'm an envelope addressed by
the bridegroom and entrusted to the
best man on the wedding day. The
fee should be gold or fresh bank
notes. or a check. The amount de-
pends on what can be afforded by the
bridegroom.
While it is the duty of the brides
family to make all the arrangements
about the church and music the bride
groom should call on the clergyman
and be assured that his services may
be had on the day and at the hour
chosen by the bride. In some states
it is necessary to obtain a marriage
license. as in Florida. and this should
not be forgotten.
The bridegroom sends a bouquet to
the bride and boquets to the brides
maids. He gives present to his best
man and to each usher.

samet time there many more of the
Margaret Rolfe class, and though the
necessity of giving to the public such
dramas is not apparent, yet it served
its purpose and presented to the pub
lie a chapter from true life. Many
among the audience did not dream of
the baseness and diabolical cunning
that was so c1everly portrayed by
Miss Maud Gordon, who at all times
was the complete master of her forces
of expression and dramatic art.
Her clever acting was not excelled
by Miss Walsh, who gave finished
performance of the wronged wife, and
won the admiration of a responsive
audience, who accompanied her thro
her great trials and sighed in unison.
Miss Walsh has long been acknowl-
edged the peer in emotional dramas,
and the best, l say, is "she could i'm
part feeling of sympathy to an iron
post"
The company was excellent in every
detail; each one seeming to antago-
nize the other for the honor of the
production, and completing a picture
of stern reality that criticise ever SO
harshly, stands as a monument to the
playwright's genius
Elanor Carey, as Mrs. Hughes has
lost none of her charm through her
long life on the stage, and made quite
hit in the first act
Alexander Won Mitzel, as Julian
Rolfe, gave finished performance as
the wronged man.
George Sumner as Mr.. Thompson;
Buelah Thompson as Elsie Brewster;
VIM Traverse as Lois klauffsky;
and the attendant in the Tombs, and
VIM. Wadsworth as Walters, were all
excellent in their respective parts and
aided in large measure the success
of Miss Walsh and Miss Gordon.

ENGLISH ADVICE ON
NEGRO QUESTION

The British papers seem to have
been very much interested in the At
lanta riots, and have had a great deal
to say about the subject Some of
them remark that the United States
has its hands full with the negroes
already in the South, without taking
over Cuba and lot more negroes
The St. James Gazette very plainly
says that the negroes should "be
treated, not as citizens of a republi-
can state, but as subjects" 1t says
THE truth is that America ought
to abrogate that part of the Consti-
tuition which relates to the black pop
ulation, be prepared to treat it as a
distinct race on lower scale of evo-
ton, and deal with it in a special
way.
This does not signify segregation
but 1t does mean, in a sense, sepera-
| tlon-the separation that involves the
| relation of master and servant, ano
class and class, and implies a certain
amount of association.
Neither does it signify injustice
the denial OF racial and social equal
lty IS not a denial of equity. TRei
treatment must be absolutely Just
and kind For a long tim,
they will have to be treated, not a
citizens OF a republican state, but a

SULTAN OF sULU."

It is Unusual for the chorus in a
musical comedy to overshadow the
principals; but that was the case last
Tuesday with the exception of one,
Mr. Albert Sykes, as XII Ram, the
Sultan of Sulu, who caused many
smiles by his grotesque antics and
a few well-sung songs. He has been
in this role since its initial perform
ance, and deserves much praise not
only for his part in the production,
but for the good taste he exercised
in the selection of his eight wives.
They were certainly excellent SAM
piles of Dame Natures handiwork.
However, the balance of the chorus
was none the less attractive, being
very graceful and well-drilled-
singing with a unison that was most
pleasing.
The school-marrns from Boston
were ''just too cute for anything"
and were quite adept in their droop-
ing postures.
Miss Stella MARITIME failed in her
efforts to support Mr. Sykes She is
quite pretty and dances well, but
she can not sing a little bit and
her attempts were plainly boresome.

THE NEGRO
QUESTION
-25on0N1a1o-

The negro question IS becoming a
world question instead OF State or
National one. The fact IS, every day,
through some Of the inhaman acts OF
some member of the race IN different
parts OF the country. the negro racc,
IS race. is at once brought before
the thinking people Of that commun-
ity. The North only sold them TO the
Sosih when they found out they
would be unable 70 use. them

NOW. since they can not work them
probably, are supplanting their place
lvith other labor. What is TO become

solved by the next generation and i

the learned profession will be men
OF Jewish descent. Sometimes they
have talked about the superiority OF
the Jewish intellect One of the most
noted Jews in America has lately de-
MED that the men of his race are
superior to the men of other races.
He says that every one desires the
things that are withheld, and that the
way to make the family live is to
confront it with hardships and perse-
cutions. The hardships develop the
powers and the Withholding of oppor-
tunity makes opportunity highly
priced The development of the Jews
in America proves the truth of these
concentrations. The race has suffer
ed persecution and is hardy 1t has
not enjoyed freedom of opportunity
in the old world When it comes
here it rushes for the free schools,
the law and the medical boks, as a
thirsty animal plunges into a stream
and revels in the cooling waters. One
does not need to look to the Jew
alone for proof that early denial Of
opportunity makes it priced, remarks
the Youths Companion. 1t is the
country boy, spending his youth
where the field is limited, and dream
ing of wider worlds to conquer, who
rises to the top in the city. The city
IS to him not a place for amusement
but place for work; and he concen-
trates his mind on his business when
he secures employment in town,
while his city-bred competitor too
often dissipates his energies by the
amusements that are at hand for the
Obstruction of the Indifferent as well
as for the relaxation of the industries
The surest way to make a boy prize
things is to deny them to him until
he has earned them Circumstances
train men by denying to them various
privileges till they wrest them from
an unwilling power
