Brides

TURNS THE TALES

NEW YORK. April 11.-She must be
worth at least $4,000; she must be
pretty; she must be talented; she must
meet the requirements Of the most eX-
acting-for who could be more exact
ing than a club of thirteen young
bachelors intent on matrimony, but
each Of whom has forsworn the society
of any girl. no matter what her other
eligible qualifications may be-if she
will not receive upon her marriage a
fortune of not less than 10000 good
round American dollars.
This Thirteen Club has applied for
a charter and has already drawn up

will the membership exceed the hoo
doc thirteen"
Tables Turned.
Yes. the tables have, indeed. been
turned, and now It is the bachelor in
stead Of the girl that is getting ex-
acting.
We'll, 1 don't see why we should
not aim for heiresses instead of DOVER
less girls All of us are we'll estab-
lished in business or in professions
such as law and medicine, and there is
no reason why our wives shouldn't
have money" said E. NJ. Stern, a mem
ber, who has offices at l777 Broad
way.
"We don't want to throw bouquets at
ourselves, but we feel that we are as
worthy Of a wife possessed Of a fortune
as the next one, and so we decided to
form a club TO promote our matrimo-
NAL prospects and to keep them above
the $4,000 mark"
One OF the bylaws of the association
makes It a penalty Of 81 900 If any of
the members should fall in love with a
SlO,OOO beauty and marry her without
the consent OF two-thirds Of the mem
bers.

CURES SORE AND TIRE DFEET.

Ordinary antiseptic vilane powder
has many valuable uses. but probably
few persons know what wonderful
power It has over sore, tired, aching or
calloused feet. Il draws all the soreness
out, checks excessive perspiration, pre-
vents congestion and cold feet, while it
removes corns, bunions and callouses.
Many physicians know its worth. and
the public can be saved much suffering
by this knowledge being impaired.
II the reader wishes 70 try it, obtain
Of any leading druggist two ounces Of
vilane powder. To a gallon of steaming
water add teaspoonful of the powder
and tablespoonful of salt, and keep
the feet immersed from 10 to 20 min
utes every night for several weeks.

FEDERATE TROOPS ABOUT TO CHARGE

In the mean time Patterson was hanging
fire, and finally did the thing which made
It possible for Johnston to take his forces
to Manassas Junction. On July Is, the day
Mcdowell reached Centreville, Johnston
started his men. And by Saturday July
90, when the engineers had discovered a
ford, six thousand Of his troops and twen-
~ guns were in Beauregard's camp al Bull
Run, ready TO meet Mcdowell.
Mcdowell was ready on Sunday morning
and sent part Of his force along the turn
pike to attack Beauregard at the stone
bridge across the Run while the major
part took back road which would bring
them out in the Confederate rear The
Confederates expected TO be attacked In
front and Beauregard was planning to send
his forces toward Centrevie Beauregard's
aggressive plans were not undertaken, ow-
ing TO misunderstanding Of orders. For
a time he was in doubt. when firing was
heard at the bridge at his left end. This
was a feint to mask the real plan. II was
not until a lengthenng line OF dust away
over the trees on the left suggested the
truth that Beauregard concluded that the
pattle was to be somewhere else AS rap

the left end on a little plateau, 10 await

more slowly than had been planned. At
first they were pushed back, and II was

Patterson's dilatory tactics at Harpers
Ferry having frustrated General Scotts
plan for making the main effort at that
point. 1t was decided to conduct an on
slaught from Washington directly upon
General Beauregard at Manassas Junction.
The officer selected to command the ex-
pedition was General Irwin Mcdowell,
West Point man, who had seen service In
the Mexican War. He was a modest and
self-denying man. When appointed to lead
the columns which crossed the Potomac
to occupy Arlington Heights and Alex
andria, the President offered him major
generals commission which he declined,
saying that Il would he unjust 10 his
brother officers and might excite a jealousy
embarrassing TO his own usefulness. Let
me earn the distinction before wearing 1t.
said he in substance. and his scruples were
respected to the extent Of an appointment
as a brigadier general only. 1t is thought
that no like act occurred In the whole
course of the Civil War.
Mcdowell prepared the plan for the bat
tie. II was intended that Patterson should
keep Johnston so busy in the Shenandoah
Valley that the latter could not send any
or MS men 10 dsSlSl Dtdul csdiu' winch
IT would not be difficult for him to do. or
dinarily, for they could be dispatched
along the line Of the railroad running
through Manassas Gap directly TO Manas-
sas Junction. Mcdowell thought that with
three columns totalling 10000 men and
reserve OF 1000 he could meet Beaure-
gard on safe terms and turn his force In
such way as to cut off communication
with Richmond and the South. 1t was to
be a swift and sharp attack, with john

value Of holding the neighborhood OF Har-
pers Ferry that he sent General Joseph z.
Johnston, whom he valued at that time as
his best officer. to command and hold IT,
Johnston. however. had no more than half
the men bestowed upon Patterson. Yet
the latter. in his intense desire to win and
overwhelmed by the greatness Of his re-
sponsibilty, was afraid to put his COM
mand to the test Johnston cleverly gave
Patterson the impression that he had a
large number OF men. Other Confederate
troops. under General Beauregard. the man
who had conducted the attack on sum

at Manassas Junction, in order TO protect

stored up in order that there might be no
failure at that point There was delay,
however, in getting away, and McDowelrs
forces did not actually start toward Ma

But what was Beauregard doing all this
time? He knew what was going on In the
North. for he kept In touch with persons
in Washington. He was enabled 10 re-
