Marriasa Expenses.

Careful observation extending over u
period Of forty-two years and supple
mented by thousands of interviews
with storekeepers, hairdressers, mo-
d'stes, milIiners. collectors and others,
leads us to believe that the average
cost Of brides trousseau in this coun.
try-taking the rich with the poor-is
the sum of $G6.3s Equally careful OBJ
servation convinces us that the ay-
erage cost OF a bridegroom's sartorial
outfit is slightly less than one-third
that amount. or, to be exact. $22.0l
Thus we have $3.50 as the cost Of the
garments worn by bride and bride
groom at the average wedding and in
the course of the average honeymoon

PHoT0GRAPHING STARS.


When Done With Ordinary Camera
They sfssw al Lines, Not epeoks
II Is an easy matter merely to pho
tograph stars. The trouble IS 60 pic
ture them as points and not as streaks.
for as the earth rotates 1t carries the
Photographic apparatus with Il, and
the light from the star makes line,
while the astronomer wants a point
lie must therefore devise a machine
that will counteract the movement OF
the earth and 50 keep the light steadily
in the same place on the plate Elab-
crate clockwork must turn the lens
backward to keep It on the star and at
the same rate as that at which the
earth moves forward
An astronomer at the Yerkes observ-
atory az Williams Bay. Wis. is quoted
I'm st. Nicholas as saying that ''mauy
Of the most important results OF as
tronomy have been derived FROM the
use OF an ordinary camera. On clear
night point one OF these toward the
north pcle, and 1t will be found after
an exposure Of one or two hours that
the stars which lie near the pole have
drawn arcs of circles upon the plate
This is due to the fact that the earth
Is rotating upon its axis at such a rate
as to cause every star in the sky to
appear to travel through a complete
circle once in twenty-four hours.
The mere act of photographIng is not
much more dificult than a short ex-
posrre out of the window of a moving
ear. Any one can try It.
Let the exposure be for at least FIVE
minutes If the camera is pointed over
head and for at least one hour II d.
rected toward the pole star. The cam
era may be left ont ali night II pointed
at the role, but must be takCl in jr9t
] before daylight The longer the ex-
posure the longer the star scratches"
Develop the plate as long as possible.

All the indictments contain several counts, the largest number being in that against the Ontario and Western, which charges thirty separate offences. While the text of the indictments has not been made public, it is reported that the charges are based upon payments alleged to have been made by the rail- road companies to the American Sugar Refining company. The New York Gen. tral and Hudson River railroad was in- dicted some time ago, found guilty and fined heavily. The sugar company, which also was indicted for accepting rebates from the New York central, en- tered a plea of guilty and paid fine.

STAND TOGETHER
 AGAINST ADVANCE Steamship Companies to Fight to End Demand for
 Wage Increase.
10000 MEN NOW OUT
If Necessary Some Ocean Liners Will Abandon
 Freight Service.

New York, May Representatives of the transatlantic steamship compa- nies, against which a strike for high CT wages has been declared by the longshoremen, met in conference to- night and decided, according to a state ment made subsequently,, to refuse the advance asked and stand together in the fight with their former employees.
 Following the conference one of those who had taken part in it said:
 We have affirmed our previous un- derstanding not to increase the pres ent rate of wages. The action of the men in striking without giving more than thirty minutes notice was unfair as was their failure to see the officials of the lines, and lay their demands before them before quitting work. The steamship lines as a result of tonight meeting, will stand together in the fight"
 The strikers met in groups tonight and expressed themselves as satisfied with the situation, and confident that they would be able eventually to tie up the transatlantic traffic.
 There was much uneasiness to-day lest the strikers would be able to make good their threat If the men succeed ed in no more than upsetting the sail- ing schedules by causing frequent de- lays in sailings, the situation at this season of the year, when the travel is especially heavy, would be serious enough That the strikers could ac- complish more the steamship officials denied,
 All the large steamers scheduled tc | sail to-day got away, though the Kal- ser William der Crosse, of the North German Lloyd line, was delayed about an hour. The Georgic, of the White | Star line, the Hamburg of the Ham i burg-American, the Cunarder Caronia and the California, of the Campagnie Generale Transatlantique. all sailed late in the day. The coastwise steam, CTS got away, as did several freighterl and tramp steamers.
 In spite of the fact that probably 10000 'longshoremen are tile and or strike along the river fronts of Man. haitian, Jersey City and Hoboken, tht day passed with only one sf1all con. fict that might be dignified with tht name of a disturbance, For the rest the strikers stood by waiting to set how long the steamship companies would suffer delay.
 Where gang of 25o or 300 mer would be needed to unload cargo load the ship and get her away or time, some of the big liners were do ing the best they could with their owi crews.
 It was said tonight that fl, necessary some of the transatlantic lines would abandon their freight service tempora rily, and carry only passengers rather than be seriously delayed in sailing.

Judiciary Committee About Ready to
 Act on Them.
 Hartford, May 7.--The judiciary com mittee is about ready to act upon the various telephone matters before it.. There are three general propositions on which the members are divided. and the prevailing sentiment at this time appoint commission to investigate the whole subject of elephone-supervi- sion, rates, and service, and the ques- ton of opening the field to competi- tion. The second proposition is to let the present law stand and recommend the appointment of telephone com mission, either independently or in con- junction with the raslroad commission, and the third proposition is to recom- mend repeal of the present law. The committee will very soon act upon the bills before it. This afternoon the com mittee prepared reports on fourteen minor matters before it.
