In Mexico It is the custom for the
pnan who Is about to be married to pay
all the expenses of the wedding. He
must furnish all the household effects
required, the wedding feast and all
the wine that the guests can drink In
addition TO this, he must provide the
bride with trousseau

and construction of a railroad. While
thus engaged he met Marina Olmedo,
girl who had been well born. but whose
father had died and left his family

question. But there were no men OF
means in the place where she lived,
and she could not go elsewhere in
quest of husband At home there
were several young men OF Indifferent
ability to make a living, any one Of
whom would be glad to marry her. So
she settled upon Diego Escobar ais the
most promising of the lot and engaged
herself to him.
Now, Marina, 1t win be seen from
this preface, was practical young
woman, and 1t was her purpose to help

with her and asked her to marry him,
but the fact that be was not of her
race or religion, that as soon as he had
finished his work in Mexico she would
probably have TO go with him to some
benighted land, most probably the un-
coRgenial United States, caused her to
decide against him. But Osmore was

Marina, being. as has been said, OF an

Osmere, who was madly IN love, fell
into the trap. He was a self made man,
and Marina, though Of different no

age when most Mexican women are
beautiful. He sent her to the city OF
Mexico with ample means to spend IN
any way she liked. She did not need
mucn for household effects for she
owned the furniture that her family
had possessed in their halcyon days.
She spent most of what her lover had
given her on a rousseau.

st. Petersburg, May 15-In view OF
the prospect of an approaching break
between the social democrats and
constitutional democratic deputies
now in conference, various amend
ments 20 the parliamentary rules
have been drafted, designed to
strengthen the hands of the president
in preserving order, preventing flibus-
terlng by the minority and inreasing
the working capacity of the house.
The constitutional democrats dec. ded
to Introduce an urgent amendment
providing that 100 instead of so votes
will be required to prevent closure.
1t is proposed also to limit the de,
bates on minor questions to five min
utes for each side. The presentation
OF these amendments defn teIy marx

Gratis and constitutional democrats,
the closure amendment being avow-
eddy aimed at the social democrats
who now command SO votes.

various commissions has been called
