Getting Rid Of Many Dollars.

FAMOUS TRIAL is RECALLED
Participation Of Brilliant southerner,
Roger A. Pryor, in TlIton-
Heecher Suit.

In no country save our own could
such career rs that of Roger A.
Pryor have been possible. 4 fiery adj
vocate Of states rights whose elo-
quence had much to do with the Sc
cession of his native state of Virginia,
he enlisted in the Confederate army,
served with brilliant distinction and,
because Of his humane treatment Of
federal prisoners and wounded, was
saved from the gallows by President
Liz coin. At the close OF the war he
came TO New York and, after period
Of hard penury, resumed his practice
of the law.
General Pryor tried many famous
cases in his time, but never one that
brought him such widespread renown
as his advocacy Of Theodore Tilton in
the latter's suit against Henry Ward
Beecher for the alienation Of Mrs. Til
ton from the affection of her husband,
observes the New York Herald. The
younger generation of today can form
no idea of the excitement caused by
of its inception in the columns OF
Woodruff and Claflin's Weekly until
long after the disagreement of the jury
put an end to the legal proceedings,
but not TO the discussion of the case.
Like q foul miasma the scandal spread
TO the uttermost parts of the land, d.
vlding public opinion into two hostile
camps. Railroad travel in remote
parts of the country was robbed OF
much Of its tedium by drummers
marching through the trains and ask
ing the passengers to vote guilty" or
mot guilty" Nor were women pre-
vented from casting their ballots In
these contests. Once happy Brooklyn
boarding houses were rent asunder by
the protracted arguments, and drinks
were named after the principal court
witnesses and contestants. The names
Of Beecher, Tilton, Frank Moulton.
Roger A. Pryor and Bessie Turner be-
came household words In an incred-
IDLY short space Of time. More than
one newspaper writer of later renown
won his spurs through his reports OF
the Beecher trial.
1t is a pity that the evil men do
should attract more attention than
their good deeds, but. as the wise Fa-
Their Kelly says to his friend, Mr..
Dooley: "Sin is news and news is SIM"

NO DIVORCE IN LITHUANIA
Cupid Wears Furs and Mlttens, but
His Darts Are Just
as Deadly.

There are no June brides and no d.
vorces In Lithuania. January brides
there are In plenty. for 90 per cent Of
the weddings In the new Baltic repub-
lie occur during the winter months.
Cupid has TO wear furs and mittens
in this land. but his darts are just as
deadly. You see, Lithuanian wedding
lasts for week or more. Time can
not be spared from the fields and
farms for such general celebrat ton
In the summer months. but in the win.
ter all the relatives of the bride and
groom can do full justice to the oc-
caSion. Moreover, winter is the time
when social affairs and family visits
prosper. Roads are few and poor In
some parts of the country. Winter
makes every marsh and lake high
way. Nelghbors are brought nearer
when the gayly painted sledges may be
driven across lots.
Lithuanians say there are no d.
vorces because native wives are real
helpmeets, partners in the farm, and
thoroughly domestic in their tastes.
Maybe 1t Is because long marriage cell
ebrations are more potent.
The Lithuanian marriage feasts be-
gin when the bride gives big party
to her friends on maiden night" The
groom, too, has small and uninterest-
ing affair. After midnight he and his
friends visit the brides home. Then
comes the ceremony of removing the
Powered wreath Of her girlhood and
substituting the matron's cap.
The wedding always takes place on
Sunday In peasant circles. If 1t Is
a grand one in church, the whole edI-
flee is illuminated brightly. The bride
Is led in by two young men and fol-
lowed by her bridesmaids. The groom
and his escort follow. Behind the we'd
ding party come the two mothers.
During the whole ceremony it is
i,s,,- e and custom for the
bride to weep. If she does not the
older women scold her until she does.
After the ceremony comes the feast
ing and dancing. First the brides
mother entertains. Then the groom's
mother Is hostess Celebrations some
times last for more than week, for
after these two big parties the rela
tives Of the bride and groom follow
suit.
Marriage is serious thing in Llthu-
ania. When man marries he marries
for life. His wife is not his slave.
Neither one Is boss. The wife does
light work in the fields and attends
to her domestic duties. Race suicide
has never threatened Lithuania.

VIVID Is TO BLAME?


The Bee desires to place few
facts before its readers and the
colored citizens of Washington and
ask them who is to blamc??
Some few years ago, colored citi-
Zens OF Washington were permitted
to enter the grounds at Cabin Johns
Bridge. Some few years ago they
pavilion at Chevy Chase Lake, and
they were also permitted to go on to
the old German Park above the boun
Diary on the Seventh Street road, and
they were given unlimited accomnlo
dations on the Washington and Nor
folk steamboats,. All Of these privil-
eyes have been taken from them, ex
cept very limited accommodation
is accorded them on the Washington
and Norfolk steamboats,.
Tht question is, Who is to blame
for tho taking away of these accom-
modations? Every theatre in the
city was opened at one time to the
co]ored citizens, and today many of
the largert theatres don't even want
t" give him a 'jim crow" corner
Who is to blame? Will someone who
knows answer this question?
Now, since there is So much segre
cation and discrimination against the
iolored citizens Of Washington, what
Is the result? They have their own
theatres the Howard the Foraker,
the Hiawatha, the Mid-City and Dub
ley's You Street Theatre-and one
is about to be erected and another
in embryo in the square between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets

MARION MARCHES APPEAR FIRST

Not only was ii Marion's big day,
but it was HMdng's too. and ho
was as keenly interested in all the
proceedings as any man or boy in
the city. Up before 6 o'clock. the
Senator was out III the front Yard
awaiting the Marion marching club
when its several hundred members,
dressed i'll straw hats, blue coats and
white trousers, swung into the court
OF honor far down the street. The
last column was III place and the last
plaster cast eagle pcfched on top
just before daylight. For half Il doz
Ell blocks the court was gay with
its Strcamers and greens. The Sena
tor raised the flag, dedicating the
gay avenue approach 10 his front
porch-the heart Of the nation today
For the next six hours the Senator
stood most OF the time on the porch
or i'll the lawn waving his hands to
the marching delegations which fill
ed past in steady lines. AS fast as
they could get out Of the thirty spec
ial trains the visiting pilgrims from
far and near formed in line, each
with its band, and marched the two
miles out to see tho candidate. 1t
was like an inaugural day parade.
The Now York delegation OF Il hun
dred Republicans arrived at o'clock
and Samuel S. Koenig led them
proudly past the Senator. Each man
carried flag and the delegation gave
three lusty cheers for the Senator
when he stopped down to the side
walk to shake hands with Chairman
koenig and a few OF the New York
men.
The Pittsburgh Republicans made
big hit with the crowd. The $50
men from the Smoky city wore capcs
end high gray hats which recalled
led, white and blue mrmdlu cmfwy
the Mckinley campaign and carried
, red white and blue umbrellas, The

from Cleveland contended for hon
ors in striking costumes.
1t was band day for the city. The
, fact that Mr.. Harding in his Young
days had played Il cornet inspir cd
the musicians of Ohio to great effort.
Every man in this and nearby States
who ever footed a horn or beat Il
drum was pressed into service in the
