NEW YORK LETTER

New York. April 4.-"Needles and
pins. needles and pins, when mans
married his trouble begins" This
ditty of our nursery days would be
particularly appropriate, II sung to-
day by the Madman of Matteawan,
otherwise known as Harry Kendall
Thaw. Three years ago today. on
April 4, 1905. the young millionaire
led his blushing bride to the altar In
the city of Pittsburg. The anniver-
sary can hardly be a source Of pleas
ure to the distinguished prisoner Of
Matteawan, since the "blushing
BRIDE" who has good reason to blush.
is now suing for an annullment OF
the marriage on the ground that he
was a lunatic and of unsound mind.
Considering subsequent revelations
regarding the young woman, the
charge Of insanity at the time OF the
marriage is not lacking in feasibility.
Mr.. Thaw does not lack for fell
low sufferers in domestic infelicity.
The troubles OF Alfie Gynne Wander
bilt. the richest young man in Am
erica, and his beautiful wife, have
for many days been subjects OF pop
ular comment The divorce suit OF
the Hart McKees tried in Paris has
added spice to the New York news
papers. The Duke OF Abruiser and
Prince Ely de Shotgun, also have
their troubles, in which the people
of the metropolis have been nightly
interested.
Yet the matrimonial cloud has its
silver lining. 1t is refreshing to learn
that Cornelius Vanderbilt. who in
CURED the wrath of his family by
marrying the women he loved, has
never had cause to regret the step.
The brilliant match" Of Alfred Van
derbilt, ip comparison with that of
his brother, becomes a lusterless
thing Cupid is "a wise lad and plays
no favorite. Perhaps millionaires and
heiresses will yet learn this fact, TO
their domestic felicity.

College Education.

Is a college or university education
of any practical value in fighting the
battles Of life? There are many men
in the bread line" who will answer
this question with a bitter, csontempt-
uous negative. 1t is a strange but
incontrovertible fact that many. per-
haps even a majority, of the unfor-
tunates who have been reduced to
the necessity of hitting the bread
line during the last winter have been
men of more than ordinary educa-
tional attainments.
At one charitable organization on
the East Side over 500 graduates or
students of prominent universities
applied for work. That employers
doubt the practical usefulness of col
lege men, even in the least important
positions, is shown by the fact that in
nearly every case the preference was
given to applicants who did not give
their educational requirements as
beyond the high school grade.

WHERE CORsETs CAME FROM

THE corset is not, as commonly believed, a
modern invention. Homer, describing the
toilet worn by Juno in her attempt to lure
Jupiter, speaks with complacence of the two
belts that grdled the waist of the goddess the
one fringed with gold and the other borrowed
from Venus, adorned with all the splendor
suggested by the poet fruitful imagination.
In Athens and Rome corsets were used dur
ing the early ages, first only as supports, but
later to conceal the defects of shape by COM
of fasciOe mdmilkdrcs (bandages for the bosom),
there existed three kinds of belts, known
respectively as str0pllfnn1, tdna, and coma. 1t
is highly probable that these jdsciye mabriliares
served nearly the same purpose as modern
corsets, as among the Greeks and Romans
slender waist was considered mark of beauty.
Martial makes fun of the stout women, and
Ovid enumerating the various remedies cal
culated to cure the lovesick, is careful to name
above all a stout figure. No wonder, therefore
that the women of that period required to all
sorts of expedients in order to prevent or get
rid of grave a defect! Screnus Sammonicus
a physician of the third century, acquired
great wealth by the sale of prescription
which he claimed would reduce the waist to
reasonable proportions.
All the ancient actors advised women to
lace tightly IN order to prevent plumpness
and that the use of the corset was general we
learn from Terence, whose enamoured youth
IN the Eunuchus reJOices at having sweet
heart who did not wear a corset, for it is
ridiculous he says, TO compress the waist
to such an extent as to resemble rush.
But not only women employed stays to re-
duCe their waists; men also used them. These
stays were made of linden wood. According
to Aristophanes, such stays were used by the
Athenian poet Conesius. Emperor Antonnus,
according to his biographer Capitolinus. also
used the same means IN order to maint ain
his slender appearance.

Admiral MooTman has also the distinction
Of having commanded the first screw-pro-

ment which he had won through his great
merit In naval %gunnery. After commanding
the Rather for some time he was trans
ferred TO the first paddle wheel ship in the
navy, and he has witnessed all the wonder
ful changes in steam propulsion which
have taken place since those early days.
The aged admiral is as remarkable for
his ideas Of naval reform as he is for his
singular experiences. He has always made
a stand against promotion through favor

calls promotion through the haWSe-hole."

occasion when, in circumnavigating the
globe, two Saturdays fell in the same week.

PICTURE OF A TIPsY BISHOP
Church A~uthOrItieE Refuse to Allow
IT to he Exhibited In the Local
Academy of Arts.

WARSAW, Sept. 5.-(Special)-War is
waging between the archbishop Of warsaw
and the Academy of Arts and others in
the same city over a masterpiece of the
famous Russian historical painter, Mate
jko, whose pictures ommand very high
prices on the rare occasions when they
reach the public market.
MateJko painted ON wood. during the
best period Of his life, a picture represent
ing the medieval bishop OF Gniezno-Gam-
rat leaving the castle Of Cracow after a
banquet. His lordship il in a state of
hilarity, and history says that he was
often in such a condition. The picture is
full of life and, in the original, the effect
of the torch-light upon the snow Is as
good and convincing as anything the great
Co,orist, MateJko, ever produced. One feels,
IN looking al it, the sharp frost of the
Polish winter and the general atmosphere
Of hilarity and good cheer with which
Bishop Gamrat was wont to surround him
self in the castle.
The picture has never been exhibited,
though copies of it embellish history books

bought it direct from the artist, and left
it TO his widow, in whose possession it
remainder till that lady's death last spring.
Her heirs decided to sell 1t, and to give the
proceeds to the late Mr.. Reichman's poor
relatives. 1t is valued at between 5000
and $SO.OOO, and the smaller amount has
already been Offered for il. The heirs.
wishing TO get as high a price as possible,
determined to have it exhibited at the War
saw Academy OF Arts.
The picture had barely been hung, when
one of the canons in the name of the
archbishop, requested that the picture
should Immediately be taken down from
the walls. Mr.. Krywult, one OF the direc-
tors Of the Academy, protested. 1t all
happened so long ago and everybody knows
SO well that Bishop Gamrat was fond of
enjoying himself, that the picture cannot
do any harm TO the church's reputation, .
said Mr.. Krywult. But the archbishop was
otdurate and he was obliged to have the
picture taken down.
Then the heirs appealed to the clergy,
but with no better success. One of them
even declared that the picture should be
exhibited in. Warsaw. no matter what the
church said. VERY we'll" was the arch

what is perhaps Of more Importance to
you as sellers, to condemn It as the worst
piece OF work Matejko has ever done"
This remark has given rise to a great
deal Of discussion, but the heirs are quietly
laying their plans for their revenge. They

FAIR MAIDS LAY THEIR NETS
Unmarried Portion of the Gentle Sex
of Luxembourg Preparing for
"LOVers' Fair"

BRUSSELS, Sept. 5.-(Special. )-Although
the happy day IA still some months away.
the fair maids of Luxembourg, who have
not yet been fortunate enough to secure a
husband, have begun to prepare for 'Lov-
ers' Fair New dresses are being made,
old ones repaired. and all the subtle arts
known to womankind the world over are
being brought to bear upon the problem
of making the unattached daughters of the
households irresistible in the eyes Of the
eligible young men.
Every year. on the first Thursday in De-
cember, the peasants Of this hilly province
flock into it's chief town, Arlon, IL char-a-
banCs, carts and every other description Of
vehicle, in order to attend the Curious
ceremony. The young people strike up ac-
quaintance while their parents exchange
condolences as to the possibility of the
match. The young man, who is invariably
dressed in his best black clothes, offers
presents to the girl of his choice, and even
goes so far as TO claim a formal engage
ment. These operations take place openly
in streets, in houses OF refreshment ard in
the public gardens.
All this, however, is but preliminary and
of but slight interest compared with what
follows. If two young folks become mu-
tually attracted at. this fair the respec-
tive families apply to a marriage broker,
or, as he is called, "a holy man" This
person becomes the honored guest in the
house Of the parents Of both contracting
, parties. he makes himself acquainted with
their exact social position, their habits Of
life, their tastes; transmits these details TO
the ''other side" indicates how house
keeping may be best started on the given
conditions; IN short, he fixes up" the
marriages. These brokers or holy men are
generally counted as first rate tranchmen
ard wine-swallowers All the same they
are held in considerable esteem by the two
families, at whose table they are accorded
the place OF honor.
A month later, that is TO say, on the first
Thursday in the new year. there is a sec
ond fair" at Arlon. Here the lovers for
mally plight their troth. the families give
their mutual consent TO the union. and the
broker receives his remuneration. consisting
Of a commission on the amount OF the
dowry. and in accordance with an ancient
custom, a pair Of top boots and a top hat.

oldest admiral, Richard Norman, has Just
celebrated his SSth birthday. Probably no

ADMIRAL Norman has the distinction Of
having been court-msrtialed for trying to
keep an epidemic OF yellow fever off his
ship in 1883. The government demanded a
written defense from him for enforcing
certain sanitary regulations, but he refused
to deliver any but a verbal one. The con-
sequence was that the ourt-martis had to
send or him &c come home to England all
the way from the West Indies. when he

for the innovation is that it is a physical
impossibility for a maid to wave hair with

strength which the male hairdresser has

There is no denying the fact that Mrs.
George CORVALLIS West is distressed that
Winston did not marry an American
heiress. Ever since her sons have been
OF age she desired that both should wed
compatriots of her own. Her younger son,
Jack Churchill, who is still on his honey
moon, remarked to an intimate at the time
of his engagement to Lady 1--WE Berthe,
II am jolly sorry to disappoint the mater,
she is such a ripping good sort, in not
marrying an American, but the fact of the
matter is all our lives she has chucked
Yankee heiresses at Winston and me, and
we have had such a surfeit of them that
1t put us off American girls"
Like the sensible woman she is, Mrs.
hGeorge CORVALLIS West has accepted the
inevitable with good grace and has OIL
tered heartily into the preparations for

place at Lord Anglesey's place in Wales.
A large house party for the
