The Message.

Elsewhere in to-day’s Gsznrrn, will
be found President Cleveland’s mes-
spge sent in to Congress Monday. It
is quite differently .- commented upon
and criticised by the leading papers of
both political parties. It is in no wise
a remarkable document and is perhaps
more conspicuous in what it omits, than
in what it says. But the GAZETTE read-
ers pay their penny for a copy of their
favorite paper containing it, and as
“they pay their money, they can take
their choice” in reading, approving or
condemning.

A press dispatch to-day gives this ac-
count of the temper of the reassem-
bled Cougress : “No more subdued or
crestfallen a parliamentary majority
has ever gathered in the big building
on Capitol Hill. Overwhelmingly re-
pudiated by the people, torn by in-
ternal disputes and dissensions, at odds
with the Administration on nearly every
public question, with more than half
its membership about to retire, cha-
grined and disgusted, to private life, it
Is not to be wondered at that the Dem-
ocratic majority in the present Con-
gress should betray to-day a melan-
choly lassitude of manner, and show
but a halting and perfunctory interest
in the work of a supplementary session

' which is to close dejectedly a record of
legislative folly and incompetency al-
most Without a parallel in Congression.
al annals.”

0n the European Plan.

Limited matrimony is the novel
question which is about to engage the
the attention of the California courts.

It appears that about six months ago
Edward M.E1kins and Lillie Mabney,
of San Francisco, had their hearts
pierced by mischievous Cupid. They
concluded that nothing but the wedded
state could effect a cure. Yet they had
heard so much about marriage being a
failure that they feared to take upon
themselves obligations which would
bind them tugether until death, unless
sooner divorced. Or it is possible that
they had an eye—perhaps four eyes—
to the expense inwlved in the last
named contingency.

They hit upon the device therefore, _

of entering into a contract“to be mar-
ried for a pairiod of six months}? This
probationary term having ’ expired,
they proceeded to a notary’s and made
a compact for another half year. Now
the lawyers have taken an interest in
the matter and have persuaded the
couple to permit them to concoct a test
case, so as to obtain a judicial decision
whether this kind of marriage, on the
European plan, as it were, is legal or
not. '

Should the courts decide affirmative-
ly, the business of marriage bureaux
would experience a tremendous boom
and “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith (lim-
ted)” might come to be regarded as
quite the proper caper.

Yale’s Football Trlumph.

Yale vanquished Princeton on the
gridiron and etched for the narrow de-
feat of last year by scoring twenty-four
points to her opponents’ nothing on
Saturday. Though the sympathy of
the great crowd at Manhattan Field was
apparently with the Tigers there never
was a minute when Yale’s goal was in
danger. Princeton played her best,
but her best was not good enough to
make even a touchdown. ..

The New Haven students played a

, grand game—a game replete with foot-
ball sciengfie and strategy. Yale was
strong everywhere and her team work

' was almost perfect. And both teams
are to be commended for their sports-
manlike conduct. Throughout the two
long halves of play there was not the
semblance of roughness or brutality.

Three men were retired,- but in each

case it was purely accidental—the re-

sult of the stubborn and well fought
battle. '

Our college giants took the advice to
play like gentlemen,and in doing so,
have saved the. noble game from criti-
eism.

The Knowledge that Pays.

The Stamford Advocate takes up the
matter frequently referred to in these
columns of the neglect, to thoroughly
ground our public school children in
the fundamentals of a good, sound,
English education. The, Advocate,
after calling attention to .the .fact that
Bridgeport papers are discussing this
faulty modern school system, which
they charge is common there, _ while
the students are promoted to higher
grades, goes on to say that the average
father would be better satisfied if his
child, before being brought in contact
with the higher branches of human
knowledge, were taught how to spell
common English words, how to write
aplain English composition, ”how to
read, and how to do simple arithmetic.
And the school system that tries to put
a fringe of “higher branches”. on the
tree of knowledge represented 'by an
American boy, before he is acquainted
withxthe history of the United States
and fully understands—so far as a
child can—the sort of government,
national, State_aud municipal, .under
which he lives, is not likely to be re-
garded with admiration by most par-
ents. N inc-tenths of those who attend
public schools will have to begin to
earn their own living, at an early
age, in mechanical or commercial
occupations, and the best thing the
schools can do forjthem is to drill them
in the lower English
branches. If they have natural apti-
tude, they Will acquire the rest, either
in school or out of it.” ,

Private Allen’s Duel Story.

During a debate on the Pension Appro-

Congressman Meredith of Virginia and”
Congressman Funk of Illinois almost;
came to blows. There had been some
talk of a. duel from day to day, and
everybody knew that the Virginian?
would as lief fight as not. He is a very
nervous man, while the Illinois states-
man is as cool as a cucumber in a. re-
frigerator. Congressman John Allen, 0 I
Mississippi, said: ' ‘

“If Meredith and Funk ever came to-
gether on the field of honor, I. am afraid
they might be reconciled before they.
would kill each other. Down in my neigh-‘
borhood once upon a. time there was bad
feeling between two lawyers, and it was
decided that only blOod could wipe out
the enmity which existed. Achallenge
was sent and duly acknowledged. The
hour was appointed and the two men met
in a secluded spot. One of them was a
great sufferer from Saint Vitus’s dance,
the other was cool and collected. ,

“As they faced each other the afflicted.
man began to tremble from head to foot,
while his pistol described an arc with
varying up and down strokes. His oppo-
nent stood as firm as a. rock waiting for
the signal to fire. Before it eame,how‘
ever, he laid his pistol on the ground,
walked into the woods, and cut a limb of
a tree with a fork in the end of it. Then,
turning to the second, he said: ‘I must re-'
quest you to ask your principal to rest his
pistol in that fork.’

“ ‘Wliat for?’ asked his opponent’s sec-
ond. .

“ ‘Well.’ replied the other, ‘I have no‘

objection to running the risk of one shot,
but I certainly do decline having one bul—‘t
let make a honeycomb of me. If that
man was to shoot while his hand is shak-
ing the way it is now he would fill me
full of holes at his first shot.’

“This was too much for the seconds,
and, by mutual agreement, a truce was,
patched up and no shots were exchanged;
I think if Meredith and Funk were to
fight, Meredith’s hand would shake—and
they would both shake hands.”——Phila-
delphia Times.

Football and Its Dangers.

A special to the New York World from
Cambridge, Mass, tells the following
story of October accidents at Harvard:
“Never in the history of Harvard foot-
ball has the team been in such a state of
demoralization five weeks before the final
struggle. And this condition of affairs
is .due _ to, - the . phenomenal‘ array of. in-
juries that have happened since a. week
ago. The following‘is the rather unique

, hospital list up to date: Three broken

collar-bones, one broken leg, one splint.

knocked out, one twisted leg, producing

ALTOONA HOSPITAL.

Amputation ,‘of the Leg-Suffering
and Disease Turned to. Health
and Happlness.

[From the Altoona (Pm) Mirror.)

Up to July 24th last, Eli A. Booser,
of 814 Second avenue, had charge of
the wheel foundry of the Pennsylva-
nia railroad. On that date he 'was the
unfortunate victim of an accident. He
was run over by a car, the flange of
the car wheel entered between. the toes

the knee, and rendering amputation
necessary to within eight inches of the
hip._ After nine long months at the
Altoona hespital, and a still longer
siege at his home, he found himself in
a deplorable condition.

,“At this time,” said Mr. Booser to a
'Mirror reporter, .“I broke out on my
arms, back and hips; my right leg was
a terrible sight. The oalf~below the
knee had two boils on. I could not
sleep, no appetite, and _was unable to
use my crutches for six weeks. My
physicians seemed to do all they could
for me. but I wasin a very weak condi-
tion; I could not digest the simplest
“food without difficulty. So I made up
my mind to try Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy, and it certainly act.
ed like magic, for before I had taken
five doses, I could see improvement. I
feel so well now that I will soon be able
to return to work. I have no trouble
with my digestion, and the annoying
weakness that afllicted me so long has
entirely disappeared."

Dr. David Kennedy’s. Favorite Rem-
edy is an unfailing specific for such di-
seases as rheumatism, neauralgia, bil-
iousness, dyspepsia, kydney and liver
complaints. In Bri ht’s disease, dia-
beti‘s, urinary troub es, and the sick-
ness peculiar to women, it has cured
where all else failed.

Through Foreign Spectacles.

TheGlasgow Herald, one of the
:most observant papers in the United

concerned, summed up the political
situation in this country,“ indicated
by the recent election, quite accurately
and within two days after the elections
were over. Its diagnosis of the causes
which led to Democratic defeat does
not cover the whole case not take par-
ticular note of many local influences
that .had to do. with the result; but
nothing is more to the point than what
it saysof the tariff as a factor in the
contest: '

“It would be rash to conclude that
the-Tchang'e in the balance of party

form, althou h it is sufficiently singu-
lar that Mr. "ils‘on, the author of the
may tariff‘i‘has- been unseated in West
Virginia; The sudden change is cer-
tainlynot indicative of that popular
tendency toward free trade which some
people fancy they have seen in Amer-
ion, for the Republican party is avow-
edly high tarifl‘, not for revenue pur-
poses. but for the protection of native
industries. The fact seems merely to
be that the commercial and industrial
classes are weary of the endless bicker-
ings over and tinkerings of the tariff,
and want a period of repose in which
to work up their languishing trade.
Nothing is so detrimental to business
as the'ever-impending prospect of po-
litical and fiscal changes. The Demo-
crats have failed to effect. stability, and
are indeed,:committed to a number of
amending bills, the controversy over
which will still further irritate and un-
settle certain industriea. Hence the
disposition seems to have taken firm
hold tohave done with the tarifi' in the
new Congress, and to let things rest
for awhile. In present circumstances,
and before the evidences of improving
trade, it is not likely that the Republi-
cans will attempt to go back to the
McKinley tariff, and they are still more

the Wilson tariff.” >

Our Glasgow contemporary is un-
doubtedly right in is view that there
is nothing in the sudden political
change which has been wrought in the
United States to indicate any popular
tendency Whatever toward free trade.
Even had the Democartic party achieved
the victory it would not have been re-
garded as a triumph of free trade. be-
cause the American tendency in that“
direction, is very slight, and has never
been formulated into any definite plan
of action. '
‘Mr._Moreton Frewen,it will be remem-
bered, thought Mr. Wilson’s London
speech was pitched to a free trade key,
and prophesied of it that it was more
likely to prove the “swan song" than
the harbinger of any such extreme pol-
icy. If Mr. Freweu translated the re-
marks of the distinguished Congress
man correctly, he was equally correct
in his prediction. The chorus of Rep-
ublican antagonism to the Wilson tar.
iif was the swan song of revenue reform.

But as a matter of fact, there are not
manyfree traders in this country in the
sense of being open advocates of free
legislation. There may be many such
in theory, but none to speak of in Con-
gress}; and it will be fortunate for our
people if the tariff reformers of all de-
nominations, take a rest from their
agitation. As the Glasgow Herald
says; ‘fNothing is so detrimental to
"business as the ever impending pros-
pect of political and fiscal changes. ”

n.‘ Recommends‘the' Adoption' of a State '
, Election Contest Law.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 7.—Governor
Oates, in the voluminous message which
he transmitted to the legislature, recom-
mends the election of state and national
officers on the same day and suggestsa
contest law in tho elect-ion of 'state officers
and the giving of a ticket marker for each
political party. He advocates a state bank-
ing system based on a depoSit with the
state treasurer of lawful meney of the
United States or solvent .bonds’ :of the
United States or state, cdunty pr 'm‘unici-
pail corporations. The message alludes to
the powers of the railroad commission as
being only those. of police regulations and
impotent to remedy many complications
brought'befOre it. ' ‘

The Populist claimant for the governor-
ship, Kolb, said today: "My address to
the legislature and the people of Alabama
means just what it says, and it speaks for
itself. If the legislature will heed our de~
mands for a fair and honest contest law,
as stated in my address, it will be satis-
factory to all our people and to myself.
All we ask is a fair and impartial investi-
gation of the frauds committed in the last
election. If such investigation w} ‘ show
that Colonel Oates received even one ma-
jority .of the votes the were cast, I will
be satisfied and will recognize him as gov-
ernor. ,

“ If the legislature should refuse this act
of justice by not passing a contest law,
then the responsibility will rest on their
heads. My friends peaceably submitted to
the usurpation two years ago in the“ hope
that it would not again be repeated in the
election of 1894.” . ~ '

CLEVELAND'S BEAMH.

 

Dr. Bryant Denies the Stories Sent Out
Yesterday From Chicago.

New Yonx, Dec. 7.—-“R-o-t” is the
characterization that Dr. Joseph D. Bry-
ant places on the statement that President
Cleveland is so 111 as to cause alarm. The
statment comes from Washington via
Chicago that the president’s attack of the
gout is the forerunner of everything fatal;
that his heart is sluggish and another at-
tack may send him to a heavenly sphere.
It even states he 'did not write his own
message, but that members of the cabinet
performed the labor for him.

“It is rot with a. dash between each let-
ter,” Dr. Bryant, the president’s physi—
cian, said today. "I would not dignify it
by talking about it.”

E. 0. Benedict, Cleveland’s personal
friend, is in Chicago, but Mrs. Benedict
said there was not a particle of truth in
the statement.

WOMEN’S FANCY LIGHTLY Tussle
To FASHION’S‘ CHARMS. ‘

 

Endless Variety of Designs. ’Magnifloegléé g l
in Trimmings and Artistic Goniblnntlons
in Colors. Some «if the Gowns‘Sce‘rnvon'y“
Simple, but the" mu Dispel: the Illusion.

The evolution of fashion, from theearli—
estto its latest Vphase'of’ development, is
an interesting study in art for;tliOse who
are willing to 'see that the» tendency in
dress is toward artisticn'eform. Let those
who clamor for “dressizefprm,” as repres-
ented by an ugly, unbecoming, but pos«
sibly comfortable costume, reflect on the
changes, improvementgsand facilities for
dressing well, and sensibly, too, which
have been given to fimen within two
decades, and they will have no need to
treat fashion with contempt or make
themselves conspicuous by being out of
it. The whole fabric of fashion is an art,
and those who work at designing must be
in a sense artists or they are not success-
ful. Never has there been such variety
in designs and materials, such magnifi-
cent trimmings and artistic combinations
of color, or such elastic: possibilities for
exercising individual tastes within the ‘
limit of fashion. ’ -

 

 

Every skirt is full, but the extreme full—
ness, which is eight yards around, is
avoided in most cases except for evening
dresses. In the house, with a. little train
added to give height to the wearer, the
extra fullness is very efiective.

Street skirts measuring five yards at
the bottom, fitted closely at the hips, and
arranged in full godet plaits to give them

, a pretty sweep in the back, are the moat

popular of all. Skirt trimming is chiefly
confined to a narrow band at the bottom,
but an occasional panelOof velvet, lace, or
embroidery is seen. Some eccentric skirt
decorations appear, but they are the ex-
ception and not the rule. One, for exam-
ple, is a double row, of black silk bows
lined with white, extending directly down
the back and front of a. skirt in continua-

 

tion of the same on the bodice in asmaller
size. Perfectly plain skirts cut in the new
generous plan of fullness are very much
worn, especially for evening dresses. N at:
and then a double skirt is shown, but it
is in the form of a full, all-around basque
which is fitted to look like a portion of
the bodice and has the appearance of a
long coat.

In bodices there is not much change,
except in the matter of fulness; they are
still so intricate in design and elaborate
in decoration that they require an expert
hand, as well as perfect taste, to make
them a noticeable success. If you have a.
basque at all it must be supplemented by
a waistband or sash. The most popular
bodies is round, or extended a. little be-
low the waist line, and finished with
narrow folds or a girdle of beaded trim-
ming. . . .

A stylish model.?f0r, a fancy silk waist
has double pufl‘fé’d' sleeves and a wide
reverslike collar, which is square in the
back and trimmed with a bunch of em-
broidery and a ruffle of silk.

 

A promenade costumezof Russian-blue
cloth has a' narrow band of paler. blue
cloth thickly studded with beads around ,.
the skirt, and the yoke and epaulets are
of the brighter shade bordered with the
same band. The zouave is of Russian blue
with lace covered revers. ‘

Another model is carried out in dark
olive cloth, and the bodice is cut to form

'a full Greek zouave depending from a

yoke of shot velvet in the red and bronze
shades, which are also used for the Waist:
under the jacket. The embroidery in the
yoke is of dull gold mixedwith alum-
inum. .

Two pretty evening gowus are given,
one of pale turquoise blue moire faintly
shot, with rose pink. A border of pale
pink roses with ,a fringe of buds‘ trifis
the skirt and thence]; .of the bodice,
which is of white'chifion, made full, and
draped in a novel" manner over the shoul-
ders. The waistband if of Bfiipure lace-—
