STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD
 NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-There is an old saying that all the world loves a lover, but the truth in that saying is not always so apparent as it is in the case of the GOuld-Shepard match recently announced. Few women of prominence and wealth have ever enjoyed the respect and the love of the people throughout the country in the same measure as Miss Helen NJ Gould, and for many years it had been a source of general re- gret that so fine and noble a woman should be unable to find helpmate worthy of her. From all accounts the man of her choice is a man in the best sense of the word, man of good character, strength and refinement and of recognized business ability. The match seems to be as nearly ideal as one may expect in this pro- safe age and the only thing that is to be regretted is that Miss Gould and Mir. Shepard did not find each other fifteen years ago.
 When CoXeys Army of the Com monweal" marched from the west to Washington many years ago the motly crowd of marchcrs appealed to the American sense of humor, but at the same time it's numerical strength could not fail to impress the country with the seriousness of purpose of the marchers. Even the invasion of New York by the hosts of Zion" under the leadership of the late Alexander DoWie. although il turned out q frost was given dignity by the numbers taking part in the invasion. But the spectacle of a half dozen suffra- 8ettes, with a big drum. loads of Tit erature" and lunch wagon, marching from New York City to Albany to storm the state capital in behalf of Votes for Women" is. or was, merely ludicrous. The performance, in the opinion of many supporters of Wo- mans suffrage, did not help the cause but merely lowered the respect of the public for the militant faction of the suffrage party. All the noise made in connection with the pilgrimage" only emphasizes the convincing proof of the weakness of the movement fur nished by the ridiculous Pilgrimage to Albany"
 If young Vincent Astor, who re- gently came into possession of d for tune estimated at more than $G5, ,000.- 900, continues to indulge in reckless motoring, his millions may soon pass into other hands. Racing with high power automobiles seems to be the young mans mania, but thanks to his skill and coolheadedness he has es- capped so far any serious accident However, racing in autos, especially on the public highways is by no T., longevity. The other day while rac- ing near Rhinebeck, up the river, Vincent Astor had a narrow escape. His opponent lost control of his ma chine and after barely escaping q col lision with young Astor's car, wreck ed his car against d tree.
 The Housewives League. an organ ization formed in this city some time ago with a view of finding some means for reducing the high cost of living, has decided to take up the fight against the Egg Trust and, in pursuance of this decision has issued an ultimatum to the dealers. Unless they agree to sell eggs at 26 cents q dozen the Housewives League threat ems to enter into competition with the dealers and supply the consumers in this city with eggs at the price of A cents d dozen. The members of the League are confident of success and rely principally upon the state law which prohibits the keeping of eggs in cold storage for more than ten months.
 From TarrytoWn. the town that has been made famous by the chicken stories which the imaginative corres- pondent of a New York daily sends out from time to time, comes another good yarn. which is quite apropos the current discussion of the eggtrust evil. According to the story d man near TarrNtOWn owns q fine Ply mouth hen which as he has discov- cred. has been running a cold storage plant of her own ever since last sum
