. Live Stock Show.
The Live Stock Show held in Madison
Square Garden was one of unusual in-
terest to farmers as well as city people.
There were large and specially fine ex-
hibits of cattle, sheep, swine and poul-
try from many states and the dairy
exhibits were of exceeding interest and
value. ’

The India Drouth.
The drouth in India has been partial-
ly broken but the grain scarcity will
approach the dimensions of a famine
unless copious rains come at once. A
dispatch to the “ London Times" says
that an inch and half of rain within
the next fortnight would reduce the
difl‘iculties by one-half to three-quar-
ters. The government is preparing for
the worst. Meantime American wheat
is sure to go up.

The Marriageahle Age.
Regarding the coinage question as
substantially settled and the tariff ques-
tion postponed, the New York Herald
has addressed itself to the discussion of
the great social problem, “At what age
should women marry?”
This, however, appears to be a ques-
tion that admits of very easy answer.
A woman should marry at whatever age
"she has an opportunity to marry with
advantage. Such an opportunity may
come early or it may not come till late;
it does n it often happen thatithe wo-
man can select the occasion according
to her idea of the proper age, and for
that reason we sh ould doubt the utility
of this discussion.
It Is doubtless true that the average:
age of marriage has advanced within a‘
generation or two. This is partly be-
cause a girl’s educatiOn is extended
over moreyears than formerly, ”and
partly because the men are notready to
marry as soon. It takes longer to
makes. start in life or to reach the
point where a man feelsthat he can un-
dertake a domestic establishment. At
the same time the young women have
acquired more interests and opportuni-
ties and do not always think of mar-
riage as the one essential end, so that
the roses often remain ungathered
much longer than our grandmothers
'twou‘d have thought fit.
Now, how can anybody undertake to
say at what age “women” should
marry? It is a question for the indi-
'vidnal woman. Assuming that she has
reached maturity, and that she has not
passed into senility, the proper time for
her to mirry is when she is sought in
.marriage by aman whom she surely
loves. whom she honors and respects
'und who will give her love. honor and
respect in turn, together with a fitting
~maintenmce. If such marriage comes
to her early, so much the happier; it
,late, 11'. may be even happier still.
The proper sort of woman is always at
the p:oper age.

Executive Secretary.
Governor-electLorrin A. Cooke has
offered the responsible position of ex-
ecutive secretary to Mr. John Halsey
Buck of Hartford and Mr. Book has
accepted the appointment. The ofl'er
was all the more welcome to Mr. Buck
since it came to him entirely as a sur-
prise and with no effort on his part or
that of has iriends to secure the place
for him. The governor knew the man
himself an i made the appointment be-
cause of that knowledge.
Mr. Buck graduated at Yale in 1891
and after studying law two years here
in the oflice of his father, the Hon.
John R. Buck he was admitted to the
bar, where he has already taken a high
position for a man of his years. He
has for some time been assistant state
attorney, assistng- State Attorney
Arthur F. Eggleston in the work of
that office.
A Rough Bridal Tour.
Mr. and Mrs. James F. Lyons, each
about twenty-five, who are on their
bridal tour, walked to Bridgeport from
New York yesterday, and as a result
Mrs. Ly'ons was completely exhausted."
The couple had been robbed of all
their money in New York. Mr. Lyons
borrowed sufficient money to telegraph
for money from Boston and had it sent
to New Haven, intending to walk to
that city. As they were penniless they

The Case of the State vs. Ed-
ward Anderson Now
Being Heard.
A Serious Charge Against Him.
Edward Anderson, a colored man,
was brought before Judge Hubbell this
morning on the serious charge of as-
sault with intent to kill. '
The alleged assault occurred. at the
saloon of Daniel Hanlon on Wall street,
last Saturday night and his Victim,
Daniel Grantley, has since been confined
at the hospital suffering from three stab
wounds. '
A report of the fracas appeared in
these columns on Monday.
Attorney Gregory appears for the
prosecution and Attorney Lockwood for
the defense.
From present appearances the trial
will occupy all of the day, as quite a
number of witnesses have been cited to
appear. At noon no new evidence in
the case had been adduced.
The victim of the stabbing is on the
road to recovery.
State Expenses.
“The Courant’s” suggestion that the
expenses should be decreased is a good
one. In 1896 the current expenses of
the state Were $780,000 more than they
werein 1891. This is quite a bound for
five years, and one that indicates a lib-
erality that needs at least slight check-
ing. The legislators this winter will
find that the question of receipts and
expenses will be a burning question at
Hartford and it is to be hoped that they
will prepare the Way to make accounts
balance satisfactorily, if they cannot
provide for a surplus.
