Matrimonial Considerations.
As the world grows older it grows
wiser, fortunately, and its wisdom is
excised in regard to matters of senti-
ment more generally now than in the
days of yore.
A hundred years ago, for example,
it was taken for granted that every-
body must get married, and those who
did not marry were regarded as an in-
ferior order of beings—persons who
rcmainedsinglc because nobody was
willing to mate with them. How dif-
ferent it is nowadays, when multitudes
of women, as well as of men, remain
unmarried from' preference—not Be-
cause they disbelieve in matrimony in
the abstract, but because they believe
that an linjudicious marriage is far
worse than none at all. .
Even in the old days there were som
clear-headed persons, far in advance
of their time, who “sized up” the
question correctly. Thus Rev. Jona-
than’Edwards, when a very eligible
suitor asked him for the hand of one
of his numerous daughters, declared
that she was not worthy of the honor,
“But she is a Christian, is she not?”
asked the astounded lov er. “Yes,” re-
plied Dr. Edwards, “but the grace of
God overlooks what you might object
t “7,
. Thtt is to say, the idea is that a
woman may be a, very lovely woman
and a good Christian, and still not be
fitted to make a good wife. On the
other hand, a man may be everything
that is honorable and gentlemanly,
and may yet prove to be a very bad
husband. Marriage, in other words, is
a peculiar institution. involving peculiar
duties and sacrifices for which all per-
sons are not suited. and this is getting
to be very generally understood.
The Frenchman who remarked that
all women but no men should marry,
was witty but not wise. The truth lies
half way between his'two propositions.

will: Belinda Hodsdon, of Haverhill,
N. H. , exemplified this fact very plainly
in her letter to Dr. Kennedy, wherein
811,. says, “I recovered from a lingering
and'painful illness, and finding myself
continuing in a weak and debilitated
condition, I used Dr. Kennedy’s Fav-
orite Remedy, and found in it the one
thing needful to supply the wasted vi-
tality in aged people. _ It improves the
appetite, quiets the nerve s, and cures
insomnia (sleeplessness).” -
Mr. Solomon Davis, of North Kort-
right, N. Y., found the same result
from using Favorite Remedy. In speak-
ing of it, he said: “How much better
the average old person would feel if
’they would use this valuable preparation

side the fact that it will'cure the most
obstinate case. of constipation, it gives

BIG FIRES INTHE SUN.
'Dlsturbaiices “'hicli Materially Affected
the \Veatlier on This Planet Recently.
Tremendous fires on the sun’s sur-
face, exceeding in size and intensity
anything measurable by human under-
standing, recently drew tlic attention
of all astronomers. This description
was given by Astronomer Garrett I).
Serviss:
“A stupendous group of black spots,
easily visible to the naked eye when
the latter is protected by a dark glass,
was on the meridian of the sun. No
less than twelve smaller groups of
spots were visible on the dish .at the
same time, so that the appearance of
the sun’s face was mostextraordinary
when viewed with a telescope. The
large group is in the southern hemi-
sphere, and is probably a. reappearance
of a huge spot seen at previous times.
It showed two main centers of
activity, and the area of the
solar surface covered by it was not
less than 3,000,000,000 square miles.
The western nucleus of the group pro~
tented avast circular pool, the center
of which was as black as ink.. The
diameter of the black Copter was out
less th'a‘nbfourteen thousand miles.
but its outlines u’cre broken by fiery
bridges projecting into and across it.
One of these, whose length could not
have been less than ten thousand
miles, was seemingly split in two from
end to end, while another vast curving
line of flame ran in and across the pit
to join it. The eastern nucleus was
still larger, and showed a. marvelous
mass of black chasm crossed and di-
vided in every direction by blazing
tongues and bridges. Around the
edge of the great group eruptions of
metallic vapor were evidently'taking
place, lifting masses of blazing mat-
ter to the height of many thousand
miles. Changes in the details of some
of the spots indicated that. the most
tremendous forces were at work--

Admits He. ‘Vl‘Ctfl' Hie Threatening
Letters and by a. Slip of the Tongue

—_Au Extremely Odd Character.
.WASHINCTON, Dec. Stir—Joseph Donian,
the man who has been sending threaten:
ing lettrs to Vice-President Stevenson,
other prominent public men in this-
. City for several days past, was arrested by
Detective McDevitt last night.
Yesterday
that the man they vuiited had been seen
about- several Seventh street
stores and were. on the lookout. ‘then
first seen . by Captain .McIJevitt, Donjan
'The officer approachcill and enteredinto
conversation with the man, who admitted
that he was Joseph‘ Donjan, and the-the.
has sent the letters not only to the vice-
president, Secretary Lamont and Senator.
President ' Cleveland, Senators Gordon
and Sherman, and one to each of- the
New Jersey senators. '
Captain M cDevitt then turned his im-
portant capture over to the hecdqunrter’s
detectives, who locked him up at the First
Precinct Police station, Where he was soon
after seen by a reporter. Donjan was ly-
ing upon a bench smoking an old clay
pipe. \Vhen his name was called he
sprang up and came eagerly to the here.
‘At first glance the idea of his being a
fi crank does not suggest itself. -~ ‘ ’ ' ‘ '
llc talks rapidly in German, and after a
few moments’ conversation one. cannot fail
to recognize ii typical crank of considera—
ble shrewdiiess.
’When questioned by a i'eportcrhctalkcd
freely until by a slip he let drop the fact
that the letters had been written at the
instigation of other parties. , He was quick
to recognize the mistake made and re-
peated questioning failed to get him to
again refer to that portion of the story ex~
Cept to say that the parties he had in mind
were powerful and influential and would
see to it that no harm came to him no
. matter how strong a. case the government
might make out against him. This slip
and subsequent actions seemed to indicate
that he belonged to some secret society
which had a number of members in this
city. 'VVhen asked Whether this organiza—
tion was anarchistic or soCialistic in its
and swore‘by ull'thnt he considered holy
that'sucli ‘au insinuation was a. slander.
and with Wild looking eyes fixed on his
questioner repeated over and over again
English, “By birth I uni an Austrian, by
education a High German, and by religion,
a Catholic. About socialism or anarChy
I know‘nothiiig and don’t Want to know
anything.” ' .
lie was asked if he ,didn’t. know that
sureto get him into trouble. .
“\Vhy should they?” he answered; ‘V‘Is
pita crime in this country to ask a rich
man for money, when Iain so- poor. and,‘
“I was born in Treeppau, Silesia, Aus-
tria, 26 years ago,” .he continued, when
Iparehts, .poor- "peasants, ~ raised money
enough nearly 11 years ago to. come to
this country, bringing the entire family,
which consists, inaddition to myself, of
father, mother, brother and sister; \Ve
first settled in Newark, N. J ., and, then
new Salem, 0. At Newark I worked in a
’rubber goods factory as a laborer, and af-
' Pittsbu rg and became an'1 ironworker.
\Vhen the familyrnme back to Newark I
studied telegraphy and electricity, and
that is now 111 y business, but I can’t get
.any work to do either as an electrician or
"telegraphcr. A couple of months ago my
mother, brother and sister were taken to
Orange Lake, Fla, to work for a large
orange grower. My father was to follow
them .after the first of the you r, and I con—
cluded to make my way down there the
best I could.
“I walked and begged along the road
until I came to Baltimore, and not
knowing what to do, and probably being
a little angry, wrote the first of the five
letters sent to Vice-President Stevenson;
then I came to “’as'ihington feeling more
and more as if these rich and powerful
men at the head of the government should
give me a little of their plenty. I could
get no work here although I looked for it
everywhere. Then I wrote another letter
to Mr. Stevenson, and one each to Presi-
dent Cleveland, Secretary Lamont, and to
each of the New Jersey senators. The
next day I made my way back to Balti-
more and sent another letter to the vice-
president. The following day I returned
to \Vashington and sent him anothe one.
Although I'wrote 1:“) letters, I was desper-
ate. Seeing that'the money I-begge‘d for
did not come I started for Richmond, but
learning that the police wanted me, re-
traced my steps with the intention of stir!
rendering.” ' '

NEW ARMY TACTICS.
Commands to Be Given By Whistles
Under Certain Circumstances.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26,—Tlie new tactics
adopted for the army contemplate the
giving of. commands by whistle under
certain circumstances, instead of by
word of mouth. Consequently, in—
fantry officers have received a Christmas
intimation from the acting chief of ord-
nance that they are expected to provide
themselves with whistles at their own
"cest.- -The order says:
“The major-general commanding the
army having approved the introduction
of a Whistle in the cross—piece of the guard
of the sword for infantry. officers, I desire
. to inform you that the commanding oili-
cers .of Springfield armory and Rock
Island arsenal have been instructed to
make, .this alteration, as promptly as
possible, upon'receipt of the arms. The
cost, which will be paid by the owner of
the sword, will be about $3.75 each for
lots of 50 or more, but the expense will
necessarily be greater where the work is
conducted on but a few swords at a. time.
