OF KING SOLOMON'S MARRIAGE RECORD

London, Jan. 25.-Matrimonial rec
ords show some surprising figures.
Many wives were very much the ca
per in tn old days; it is yet fashionable
In a few countries.
Solomon had hosts of children. RAJ
meseS II left records of at least 1G7.
Even much derided Brigham Young
acknowledged fOurt y four.
What Arthur Hynes, dentist, arrest
ed by Scotland Yard detectives, might
have offered toward a record, had he
been left to pursue his penchant for
much marrying. it is difficult to say.
Hynes is believed to be Dr. George
A. WITHHOLD, who in the last ten years
married several hundred women i'll the
United States. 1t is believed that
there and in England his marriage
decord will exceed the 500 mark.
His methods in London were identic
al with those of Witzhoff in Chicago
and New York. In Chicago Withhold
led women to the altar at the rate OF
three and four a week. His per.
formances made Johann HOch appear
like a rank amateur. In his long ca
reer Hoch married only about fifty.

Clothes of Woman of Fashion
Described by Upton Sinclair.

Following is Mr.. Sinclair's account Of
n society woman's clothes, as it comes
in his story, running in the American
Magazine:

thing TO do or to think about in tho
world except to wear %clothesl" said
Alice. "Why, she has adjustable mir

gets all her gowns from Paris, four

seasons now, instead of two! | thought
that my clothes amounted to some
thing, but, my goodness, when ! saw
hers!"
Then Alice went on to describe tho
unpacking of fourteen trunks, which
had just come up from the custom

~touriere had her photograph and her
coloring Represented in actual palnts)
and q figure made up from exact
measurements; and so every one of the
garments would fit her perfectly. Each
one came stuffed with tissue paper and
held in place by a lattice-work of
tape; and attached to each gown was
a piece of the fabric, from which her
shoemaker would make shoes or Slip

opera wraps, robes de chambre and
tea gowns, reception dresses, and
wonderful ball and dinner gowns. Most
Of those latter were to be embroidered
with jcwelry before they were worn,
and imitation jewels were sewn on, TO

real lace or Partisan embroidery, and

CURIOUS TRIBAL CUSTOMS.
A Wild Race of Papua in Which
Women Have Much Influence.

A Methodist missionary in British
New Guinea-now known as Papua-
Rev. w. f. Brownlow. has added to
the worlds knowledge of the curious
and little races of the great north
Pacific islands by the discovery and
partial tanning of a new tribe. says a
Melbourne correspondent of the Lon
don Chronicle.
The race in question consists of
about 90 900 blacks, living at a place
called Dobu. The customs of the race
are most curious. The immigration
policy is more drastic than that of
white Australia" for all strangers
have either to become full members
OF the tribe or be eaten. When deal
ing with Mr.. Brownlow, however, the
difficulty was got over by making him
a father of the tribe.
In an interview in sydney, Mr..
Brownlow gave some interesting par
ticulars of the Dobuan's standard OF
civilization. The Dobuan land laws, he
said, were an example to modern
countries. Each tribe and each family
had their own land inc no portion was
allowed to go out of their possession
| except as q loan for a seasons crop
Y he men married out of their oWn
tribe, and on their death their land
| became the property of their sisters
children, and so 1t was handed down
| from generation to generation within
the tribe.
Women have great influence in the
affairs of the tribe and their duties are
quite distinct from those of the men
The men clear the bush and dig the
ground, then the women prepare it and
plant vans, the crop being theirs. II

In the religion of the people, con

thing of ancestral worship. A deceased
