Mizzardn THE GOULOfEDDItIG It is Celebrated With Much Pomp Today At the Eesidence of the Bride's Brother, Geo. J. Gould. CATHOLIC CEREMONY WasPerformed by the Venerable Archbishop Corrigan, In the Presence of a Number of Distinguished .Guests. New York, March 4. The marriage of Miss Anna Gould, daughter of the late Jay Gould of this city, to Count Pearl Ernest Boniface de Castellane, was sol emnized today at noon, Archbishop Cor rigan officiating, at. the residence of her brother, George J. Gould, Sixty-seventh street and Fifth avenue. At half past 11 o'clock the relatives and less than 100 intimate friend assem bled at the house. The residence was artistically decorated throughout with a profusion of tropical plants,smilax, aspar aguajpluinosa, maiden-hair and over 20,000 La France roses, lilies of the valley and Japan lilies. The wedding took place on the first or parlor floor, the ceremony being performed in what is known as the East India room in the southwest corner of the mansion. The bridal procession formed in the library, a room of ample dimensions on the second floor, immediately over the East India room, where the presents of the bride and groom were afterwards exhibited. The guests received the first intimation of the formation of the bridal procession by music from an orchestra concealed in the hall behind a bank of palms and ferns. The first number given was "Large" by Handel, by orchestra and organ, and "Elsa's Dream" from Lohengrin, which was sung by Rosa Sucher. the operatic soprano, to the accompaniment of the string orchestra. This was followed by the bridal march from Lohengrin and the assembled guests witnessed the bri dal procession descending the flower adorned stairs iu the following order: First came the ushers. Prince Dal Dra- go, Raoul Duval, Brockholst Cutting and Howard Gould. They were followed by the bridesmaids. Miss Beatrice Richardson, Miss Adelaide Montgomery, Miss Catharine Cameron and Mis3 Helen Gould. The bride then followed leaning on the arm of her brother Mr. George J. Go-aid, her train being carried by her nephews Masters Kingdom and Jay Gould. They entered the music room and passed into the east India room, walking slowly up the aisle which had been made by running paral lel white ribbons fastened to bushes of flowering roses. The Ceromony. When they reached the dais at the Fifth avenue end of the room, the music stopped. The ushers stood on each side and the bridesmaids stood before the ushers. Here, awaiting the approach of his bride, stood the bridegroom, at tended by his brother, the Count Jean de Castellane, while on the dias stood Archbishop Corrigan, wearing his eecles tical robes. Mr. Gould placed his sister's hand in Count de Casteilane's hand and withdrew to the left where his wife and her two little daughters stood. The ceremony was abridged by the fact that the bride has not, as has been frequently stated, surrendered her own religious "faith. When the time came for the bride to have placed uoon her ringer the wedding ring, she handed her large and beautiful bouquet of lilies of the valley to her sister, Miss Helen Gould, who stood on her immediate right The "Ave Maria" was sung by Rosa Sucher, stationed at the foot of j the stairs in the large hall, her rich, glorious voice blending with the strains of the orchestra and the musical cadences of the orchestra added a rare charm to an im pressive and beautiful ceremony. After the benediction had baen spoken Men delssohn's wedding .march filled the room, and the bride received the good wishes of the archbishop and the two officiating priests, which were followed immediately by those of ber sister, Miss Helen Gould, and her brother George. The count, radiant and happy, led his wife into the alcove, where, under a showering mass of lilies of the valley, they stood ready to receive the congratu lations of friends. The Wedding Ureakfast. Immediately the flowering plants which had served as posts for the rib bons forming the aisle were removed and in a short time after the doors of the dining room were thrown wide open and a number of small tables were brought into the room and placed about it where the guests seated themselves to enjoy a delicious breakfast As all space was essential, the house being of moderate capacity, the orchestra was moved to the gallery on the third floor and for an hour or more discoursed a programme of varied music. At half-past 2 the bride, attired in her traveling dress, passed through the hall crowded with friends anxious to bid her farewell. Speculation which has been rife for many weeks as to the marriage, has evolved a varied programme of the bride's honeymoon, but the young couple have kept this a close secret and none, not even the immediate family, have a remote idea as to the immediate future movements of the Count and Countess De Castellane. The Guests. In addition to the immediate relatives of the bride, there were present at the ceremony and breakfast about eighty in timate friends of the bride and family, among whom were Sir Roderick and the Misses Cameron, Mr. Dunn Cameron, Mr. R.

The Troiseau. The bride's wedding gown was a heavy ivory satin duchess tastily trimmed with point d'Angleterre lace, which was twelve inches wide and of rare and beautiful pattern. The skirt fits very tightly at the hips and flares out at the bottom. The train is round and is about, three yards in length. The gown is lined throughout with heavy ivory silk, fash ioned at the bottom with three full ruffles of lace. These ruffles ar trimmed with bows of satin ribbon, point d'Angle terre forms a drapery over the bodice beginning a- little back of the right shoulder. It then crosses to the left side and passes under a folded empire belt, which is made of satin. At the bottom of the belt the drapery begins again, and is extended over the left side like a jabot and is carried around the front of the skirt in Van Dydes, which are topped and fastened by small bunches of real orange blossoms. The sieves are cut in the latest fashion, the top of the sleeves being very full and the under part very tight The sleeves button ed very closely over the wrist The collar was a Henry IV, and at the top, rolled over displaying facing which was of point d Angleterre. The bodice of the gown is fastened at the back under a roll of satin and two bows of the lace. The bridal veil was a rare old lace presented to the bride by the Marquis de Casteilane and was fastened at the crown of the head with a bunch of orange blossoms. The veil did not fall over the lace, but simply down the back in close folds and was fastened at the train by orange blossoms. The petticoat worn with this gown was made of heavy ivory moire silk of the same beautiful tint as the dress and trimmed with three flounces of real lace headed with little butterfly bows of nar row satin ribbon about six inches apart The bride carried a bouquet composed of orange blossoms and lilies of the val ley, which was unusually large. It was tied with long white satin ribbons. The Bridesmaids. The four bridesmaids were gowned alike in cream white broadcloth trimmed with sable. The white skirt was lined with cream white silk and bordered at the foot with a two-inch sable band. Under the sable band the skirt was wired with "feather edge" which insured perfect curves. The bodice had a yoke effect formed by four clusters of tiny tucks which spread out, giving a pouch effect below. The waists were encir cled with a sash of cream white moire ribbon tied in loops, the long ends hang ing at the back. The sleeves were very full and drooping and buttoned tightly at the wrist The collar was of cream moire, edged in sable. The bridesmaids wore Gainsborough hats of black mousseline de soie, shirred over a succession of wires with waved lines of cut jet ou the outside following the wires. Single ostrich tips stood up at the left side of the crown and a clus ter of three tips arrauged underneath and curling over the top of the brrm. At the base of these tips was a cluster of pale pink rosebuds with a bunch of vio lets, some Bprays of mignonette, which drooped down on the hair. The bridesmaids bouquets were of pink and white flowers, two of roses and lilies of the valley securely tied with broad pink ribbons. Masters Kmgdon and Jay Gould, the nephews of the bride, who carried her train, were simply and prettily dressed. lhey wore knee breeches of white cord ed silk, white silk stockings, white kid slippers, with liberty satin coats over white silk shirts, large square cut, pale pink silk collars. Each wore a pin of diamonds and amethysts, the gift of the bridegroom. The Traveling Gowns. The bride's traveling gown was of deep Prussian blue, cloth called vieux bleu. The jacket was lined with red peau de soie and cut very short The skirt was very full, and like all the gowns of the bride's trousseau, was wired at the hem with featherbone. The hat is a pretty troque to match the gown of Prussian lamb with two knots of purple velvet, one on the right side and one on the left and under the left knot were fastened three black quills. The steamer gown is an imported French gown, perfectly plain, of covert cloth and lined through out with navy blue silk. The upper part of this gown is a jacket with little capes over the sleeves. There are six sleeve less blouse waists to be worn with this jacket. Mrs. tieorge J. uouid wore a lovely dress of canary faille brocaded in Dres den. The design is a pattern of cut flowers ia little bouquets, sprinkled all over the gown. The skirt was very full and fell in organ plaits in the back." The waist of this gown was of canary yellow chiffon, accordeou plaited, over canary yellow lining. The sleeves were of brocaded faille and very full and of elbow length. There were bars of oriental embroidery of deep yellow, verging from canary yellow to a deep orange. These band's were embroidered with, precious stones. Over the chiffon waist was worn an oriental embroidered zouave jacket The collar was made of yellow satin and fastened with a large bow at the back of the neck. A very handsome jewel held the bow in place. The Presents. The presents were displayed in the library on the second floor directly above the East India room. The superb jew els were laid out in the library table on a cover clotn otneavy red velvet Among the rarest and most costly of the bride's presents was a heart shaped brooch. In the center wa3 the rare and world fam ous Esterhazy diamond, surrounded by eleven diamonds, each of which is large enough to be worn as a single stone. This was the gift of Miss Helen Gould, Mr. and Mrs. George J. Gould's pre sent was a collar of superb pearls con sisting of ten strands, each pearl being t the size of a good sized pea. The strands were crossed by bars of platinum holding rows of brillian white diamonds, these dividing the pearls into ten compart ments. In each bar were 12 diamonds. In the entire collar there were 72 dia monds and eight hundred pearls. j Mr. Frank Gould presented a chain of 200 diamonds, which could be worn in coils about the neck or entwined as a bracelet about the wrist Mr. Howard Gould gave a large knot or cluster of diamonds, each end of the glittering ribbon having as a tassel a superb bine and pink diamond. j The Marquis and Marquise de Castel lane presnted a superb unique necklace, consisting of five ropes of pearls, each string of which is of historic interest, one having belonged to Henri Quatre and another to Marie Antoinette. At one end of the necklace, securing the five strands, was a magnificent square emer ald of exceeding beauty, surrounded by twenty-four diamonds. This is an heir loom in the De Castellane family, and could pass only to the eldest son. They were Caught. How Senator Cook shut off the medi cine bill in the senate; it had passed the house. Saturday afternoon when the house of representatives was in a con fused state, the doctors were trying to get in their best work, and they suc ceeded as far as the house was concerned, as the medical bill which had been voted down several times this session was again brought up and had went as far as the third reading before some of the mem bers noticed what was up. When Repre sentative Campbell of Stafford noticed what was going on he immediately made a strong tight against the bill, but it had gone to far, and as the confusion was great the bill passed the house. It was then sent to the senate for passage and the same kind of trickery was to be played there. A prominent doctor of this city succeeded in getting Senator Cook out in the hallway and was discussing with him the way the bill wa3 going to be changed, so that it would be as he wished it While Senator Cook was out in the hallway talking to the doctor, the bill which had just passed the house was advanced on the senate calendar. When he returned he noticed the fraud which ht i been perpetrated on him, and therefore he made a motion that it be strickened from the calendar, which was dona He claimed that he had been decoyed out of the room es pecially so that the bill could be ad vanced. This bill was especially prepared and aimed at the W. W. Gavitt's Medical company of this city. This company has over five hundred agents in the state of Kansas, principally widows and old sol diers, who are selling their medicine known as Our Native Herbs. The doc tors have been badly worked up for some time over the fact that these herbs have been curing all their cases that they have been living off of for years, and so desperate had their case become that they -tried to sneak a bill through both houses on Saturday. If their business had been honorable they would have taken honorable means to secure the pas sage of their bill. They were so anxious to shut off the widows and old soldiers who are trying to make a living by selling the herbs as they have been meeting with great suc cess ail over the state, curing diseases with one dollar's worth of medicine that the doctors could not cure at all, that they held a state convention of doctors in Topeka last summer to devise ways and means to shut off the sale of this wouderful compound. They did not think that it would be necessary or the money would have been forthcoming, as one doctor in Topeka was overheard to say that he could raise 10,00) in Tope ka alone in one hours time if necessa ry to secure the passage of this bill. Why are they so desperate in re gard to this particular medicine? Is it because it is not good? No! It is be cause it is too good to suit them. The mortality bydisease in Topeka was re duced 50 per cent in two years by these native herbs, and the doctors say that it has to be stopped. The lower house ap peared to be willing to restore the death rate but the senate objected. Why should the doctors be protected? It is the people who need protection. We sight one instance here in Shawnee county at Silver Lake. Mrs. A L Ens- minger came to the city and was examined by a prominent sur geon a few months ago, and after examining her for a bad case of stomach trouble, he recommended she have a surgical operation performed, which he would perform at the exceed ingly small sum of 150. She decided not to go to that expense. While in his office she asked about the advisability of using these herbs for her complaint He told her that it would certainly kill her if she used them. She did not take his advice. She procured a box of this com pound and used it She now reports that she is well and in better health than she has been for years. And still the doctors wants to be protected in such robbery. Is is right? fclABRY. L. GAVITT. Permit Granted. In the matter of the permit of M.

A well known commercial traveler re marked that ho bad been In at least a score of railroad accidents. "I bave al ways enjoyed the very best of drummer's luck," said he, "for, oddly enough, con sidering the number of commercial travel ers in the country, the proportion of acci dents among the craft is very small. This is due probably to the fact that the com mercial men, as a class, travel in drawing room and sleeping cars, which, from their great weight, fare better than ordinary cars in an accident, and hence have come to be considered by the drummers as the very best accident policy. "One of the first smashups that I ever experienced," he continued, "occurred in March about ten years ago on the Missis sippi Valley road, not far from Jackson. As an accident it amounted to nothing. A misplaced switch threw a north bound ex press car off the track and delayed us for several hours. "The car which contained a consign ment of Louisiana strawberries destined for Chicago was burst open by the shock, and the crates containing the fruit, only slightly damaged, were scattered around. This was too good an opportunity for the passengers and trainhands to miss, and so all went for the berries. "There chancod to be in the Pullman car a young bride and bridegroom. The latter, anxious to get any delicacy for his wife, obtained a quantity of the berries, which he carried into the car for her. 'See what I have for you,' said he. Oh, how good of you!' she replied. 'Strawberries in March, and such, beauti ful ones too! But,' she continued a mo ment later, 'where are the sugar and cream? I can't eat berries without them.' "The train conductor, who heard the remark, retorted: 'Next time we have an accident we'll arrange to have a shipment of sugar and cream spilled out with the berries. Then tho passengers wiix have no jreason to complain of their treatment, even in the case of a smash up. Then he left the car muttering something about fool women and $2,000 accidents."

For instance, on a cold, bracing morning you remark quite glibly, 'It is an eager and a nipping air.'

Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons for the heavy weight championship and stakes and purse money amounting to $65,000, will come off as per agreement Ever since "Fitz" figured in the un fortunate bout with his sparring partner, "Con" Riordan, resulting in the death of the latter, the troubles of the middle-weight champion seem to have multiplied. As a result Fitzsimmons is now crippled financially and is unable to make good his third deposit in his match with Corbett His recent trouble with his manager, Captain Glori, has compelled him to ap peal to Corbett to defer the payment of the balance of the money until such time as the unfortunate Syracuse affair is set tled.

McKinlet has evidently heard of the straw vote for president in the legislature of this state. He has an nounced his intention of attending the Ottawa Chautanqua. If their debts represent their prosper ity, the Australians should be the most prosperous people on the face of the globe. A population of 4,000,000 Is car ry a debt of f 2,000,000,000. An English man writing from there says they must Inevitably default before long. The country should keep its eye on Ben Tillman of South Carolina, He is the ideal "crank" and the "cranks" will have a ticket in the Held next year. He is the sort of stuff also from which Moseses and Napoleons are made. He has given evidence that he is a leader, and that goes a long way with the masses. Advocates of the single gold standard claim that it is not fair or right that the government should make fifty cents worth of silver worth a dollar. By the same train of reasoning it was not just for the government to make a dollar's worth of silver worth but fifty cents, aa has been done Binoe the repeal of the Bland-Allison law. It Is said by the gold standard people that the friends of silver want to oar their debts in a cheap money. It might be better to allow them to pay in cheap money than to prevent their paying at alt Under the operations of a gold standard the majority of debtors will not be able to pay in any thing. As they are required to pay the original debt about twice over. The bill of Senator Cooke providing for the loaning of the school fund ia worthy of more consideration than has probably been given it The system has been tried in Oregon with very satisfac tory results. It might be better for the people to borrow their own money and pay the interest into their own treasury than to perform the same transactions with people outside the state. When the commission buys bonds with the sohool fund it has no security but land values and the product of the soil for interest or principal. There could be little dif ference between dealing with a commu nity individually or collectively. The provision made for an elevator in the state house is a proper one. It is a matter that should have been attended to long ago. And just here it is pertinent to remark that there is another state building which is badly in need of this modern convenience, and that is the state insane asylum near this city. The fact that the upper stories are not connected makes it frequently necessary for the employes to descend three long flights of stairs and ascend three more immediate ly, in the disoharge of their duties. Enough time is lost in this performance to pay for the elevator ia a short time. Little good is likely to result to the United States from an international con ference on the subject of silver coinage. When it is considered that the European gold standard countries would be greatly in the majority, it must be apparent that any agreement which might be reached would undoubtedly be greatly to our disadvantage. The bimetallic movement in Europe has been started by a fear that the United States was about to remonetize silver at the old ratio and it Is hoped in this way to delay the matter and when it can be delayed no longer to force a ratio based on the present differ ence in the bullion price of the tvo metals. It is neither necessary nor good policy that we should wait for the sanc tion of any other nation to do what is right. With a bimetallic currency in the United States we should be vastly better off if Europe continued to maintain the single gold standard so long as we sell more than we buy. The movement inaugurated by a few Democrats in congress to force a free sil ver plank into their party platform next year la probably intended to pave the way to a valid excuse for leaving the party. They must know that there Is scarcely a shadow of a chance for any thing like that to happen. But if by any combination of circumstances such an event should occur it wouldn't mean anything. The Democratic party was never known to keep a promise made to the people, and, moreover, it hasn't the ghost of a show to carry the country next year. This should be a prosperous and pro gressive year for Topeka, with the ex penditure of $50,000 on the state capitoL the building of the new court house, and the Santa Fe hospital. If a new bridge and the dam could now be got under way our happiness would be about com plete. We would try to worry along for awhile without the woolen mill and the coal hole. "ALABAMA" TONIGHT.

Taylor, the colored re corder of deeds for the District of Colum bia, charges Win. Calvin Chase, the edi tor of the Bee, a weekly publication read by the colored population of this city, with criminal libel, has brought out con siderable sensational testimony. There was published in the Bee of January 5 an article charging Taylor with gross misuse of the appointment power attached to his office. with collecting political assessments from the colored men of the District employed by the government, and with personal im morality and improper relations with some of the female employes of his office. lay lor had Chase arrested for criminal libel, and the case now being tried is the result. Two women formerly employed in the recorder's omce have testified that Taylor made improper proposals to them, and that their refusal of his demands was followed by dismissal. The government on cross-examination brought out testi mony tending to impeach the character of several of the witnesses produced by the defense. MONUMENT FOR LOVEJOY. Colored People of Alton Ask the Legisla ture for Assistance. Alton, 111, March 4. The colored people of this city have been circulating a petition to the legislature asking for state aid toward the erection of a suitable monument on the grave of Elijah P. Love joy, in this city, and they adopted the following statement: aFor years we have deplored the fact that his last rest ing piace is unmarsed Dy a memorial shaft adequately exDres- slve of our gratitude for his life and his works, and we have hoped to devise some plan by which his name could be honored in a manner creditable to our selves and the great nation, and should the state cf Illinois erant our petition and aid us in this noble cause, we believe that we can put forth efforts that will arouse the interest of the entire colored race to contribute liberally to honor the martyr whose memory we hold most sacred."

IT WILL BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD SPANNING THE PACIFIC. The Expense Estimated at About 83,000,- OOO Hundreds of Ocean Cables Through out the World and Nineteen Across the Atlantic. There are 19 transatlantic cables, but the broad bosom of the Pacific is as yet unspanned. The recent exciting events in Hawaii, however, have stimulated interest in the long talked of project of a cable from San Francisco or Vancou ver to Hawaii, and if one of these proj ects is carried out it will doubtless be but a short time before the line will be extended to Japan or to New Zealand. The new republic of Hawaii is natu rally very anxious to be in closer connec tion -with the world, and Great Britain and the United States are both consid ering the advisability or otherwise of expending the necessary $3,000,000 and connecting Hawaii with the continent of North America. Great Britain has already asked the republic of Hawaii for permission to land its proposed cable iron Vancouver on one of the Hawaiian islands, and the republic has petitioned the United States government for leave to grant the request. Hawaii is not un der the wing of the United States, but years ago Uncle Sam was given the ex clusive right to build a cable to the is- AUCKLAND KOUTES OF STEAMSHIPS TO HAWAII. lands, and the consent of congress must be obtained before the present Hawaiian government may permit Great Britain to land her proposed cable. The Hawaiian republics, it is said, prefers to have the proposed cable built by the United States, but will naturally hail with joy any cable that comes its way. The British project includes a ca ble crossing the entire Pacific, a distance of 7,840 miles from Vancouver to Ha waii, and from Hawaii to Auckland, connecting at Auckland with the cable that runs to Australia, or from Hawaii direct to Australia. Not long ago the United States senate tacked to the diplomatio and consular appropriation bill an item of $500,000 for preliminary work on a cable to Ha waii, but this item was rejected by the honse of representatives, and for the present at least the cable is deferred. Ocean cable laying costs about $1,200 a mile, and the estimated cost of a cable 2,107 miles long, from San Francisco to Honolulu, is 3,000,000. When Cyrus W. Field immortalized himself on July 27, 1866, by complet ing the first successful oceanic cable at enormous expense, the wondering world little thought that in 28 years there would be 19 cables laid across the At lantic. Four of them were failures, and some of the others are little used, the companies owning them having laid du plicate lines with more satisfactory re sults. Of the 15 now in rise the Anglo American Telegraph company operates five four from Valentia, Ireland, to Heart'B Content, Newfoundland, and an other from Win on, near Brest, France, to the island of St. Pierre, south of Newfoundland. The Commercial Cable company has three transatlantic cables two from Waterville, Ireland, to Canso, M (StCCESBOBS TO WIGGIS, CBOSBx B W in this week 3 special lines in Embroidered fi&ndberchicfs These goods we q in and own them in such a way that we can save you from 33 to 50 per Q WILL BE FOUND Corset Misses and ITT -1 we are sole city t I.

England owns and operates at home 102 separate official cables, aggregating 883 miles in length. In her internation al system she operates 14 more, of which nine belong to her exclusively, measur ing 767 miles, and in her Indian ad ministration she has 93 more, measuring together 1,982, making in all 8,582 miles of official ocean cable owned ex clusively by her, not counting the five in which she is a part owner. In Canada she has 22 more official cables; in Queensland she has 18; in South Aus tralia, 5; in New Zealand, 8; in Tas mania, 1; and in Victoria, 1.

France possesses no less than 53 separate official ocean ca bles. The young republic of Brazil has S3, and the Argentine Republic has S. Despite this great showing the cable Bystem of the world is very defective so longas the mighty Pacific remains unspanned. When San Francisco busi ness men desire to talk with Auckland at $2.86 per word, the shortest natural route between the two points is across the Pacific. As there is no cable the mes sage, instead of going west, goes east, crossing North America, the Atlantio ocean, Europe, Asia and Oceanica to Australia, and from Australia continues on to its destination in New Zealand, a distance of over 20,000 miles, although San Francisco and Auckland are only About 5,000 miles apart. T0PRESERVE APPOMATTOX The Gray Will Ask the Co-operation of the Blue. Richmond, Va., March 4. Arrange ments are being made to convert the grounds around Appomattox court house, the scene of Lee's surrender, into a na tional park. The matter is being agitated by the various camps of confederate veterans throughout Virginia, and the co-operation of the Grand Army of the ReDublio will be asked for within the next few weeks. A novel proposal in this connec tion has been made by the confederate veterans of Petersburg, Williamsburg and Richmond. They are endeavoring to have the rente from Petersburg to Richmond tak en by the armies of the north and south aa they moved to the place of surrender, marked by appropriate milestones, the work to be done by committees repre senting the various divisions of the two armies.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 4 The day for opening of the constitutional conven tion is hailed with delight by the inhab itants of this valley, whose aspirations and constant endeavor for statehood have extended over a period of more than forty yeara The six previous conventions which met and did their work adjourned only to see their hope shattered and statehood deferred. This convention, unlike the six which preceded it, enters upon its labors under the inspiring assurances that statehood will speedily follow the completion of its work. The history of Utah's forty years strug gle for statehood is of special interest at this time. The struggle began in less than two years after the settlement of the Mormon pioneers in Salt Lake val ley, the first constitutional convention being held early in 1849. After the adop tion of a constitution, an election for the provisional government was held and Brigham Young was elected governor. The constitution was forwarded to Wash ington, and was rejected by congress in 1850. Utah was, however, t that time grant ed a territorial form of government. After a lapse of seven vears the seoond convention was held and delegates sent to Washington to present the petition and constitution as adopted by congress. This petition shared the same fate as the first and it was not until January, 1862, that the third convention was called. On January 23 of that year a constitution was adopted and Qeorge Q Cannon and W 11. Hooper chosen as delegates to co ngress. On the third of the following March the constitution was almost unanimously adopted by the people and tfrigham Xoung was again elected gov ernor. Ten years later on February 19, 1872, the fourth convention was convened at Salt Lake city, and organized by the election of E. M. Barnum as president. At this convention a constitution was agreed upon and forwarded to Washing ton, but was adversely reported, upon by the committee to which it was referred. The fifth constitution was adopted in 1832, and ratified by the people, but again denied by congress. Undaunted by continuous disappoint ment, the sixth convention met at Salt Lake City on June 30, 1837. A constitu tion wa3 then adopted carrying a clauae which declared bigamy and polygamy to be incompatible with a republican form of government. Congress having re jected this appeal the statehood question practically Qropp6a out or signt until after the division of the people on national party lines in 1899. The recent enabling act providea for the election of 107 delegates, and they were elected in November last Owing to irregularities in returns from the third precinct or Halt iase ana judicial de cisions affecting the same, five delegates from that precinct nave not certificates of election. In the adoption of a constitution pro hibition, woman suffrage, mining, irriga tion, disposition of the public lands and legislative apportionment, are the ques tions that will be most prominent before the convention. The seventh constitutional convention was called to order by Delegate Crane at noon today in the new city and county building with 102 delegates present, fifty-seven of whom are Republicans and forty-Jive Democrats. Prayer was offered by President Woodruff of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Hainta. Secretary C. C Richards then called the roll and the oath was administered to the delegates by Chief Justice Merritt A congratulatory address was deliver ed by Gov. West. A temporary organization was then af fected by the election of the following officers: Chairman James M. KimbalL Secretary Heber M. Wells. Sergeant-at-arms J. F. Chidester. The convention then adjourned until to morrow and a caucus wad immediately called for the selection of permanent officers.

It Will Connect Salt Lake With South ern California. Los Angeles, March 4. "There is no question in my mind," said H. E. Hunt ington to a reporter, "but that the San Joaquin and the Salt Lake railways will be built. Mr. Huntington is here on a trip with his mother and has been combining pleasure with business. "Yes," he continued, "the roads will be built and the Southern Pacific is not putting a stone in their way,but the valley road will not be built for any $G.00O,O0O. It has cost the Southern Pacific $26,0J0 per mile to build up and equip their lines in this state and it will cust the val ley road company $10,000,000 to build to Bakersfield. The Southern Pacific ia not building lines on any franchises it has in the San Joaquin valley nor does it con template any such conatruction. The road will parallel our line and that will make roads enough." FUNERAL CUT SHORT. A Crowd of Sightseers Interfere With a Chinese Burial. Los Angeles, CaL, March 4 Disgrace ful scenes marked the burial of Lou Suey, who was shot February 22 by Wong Chuey, at the instance of High binders. The mob who attended the funeral numbered fully 5,000. At both the headquarters of the society to which Lou belonged and at the cemetery the police were utterly unable to cope with the crowd consisting of richly dressed ladies and gentlemen as well as hoodiuma who vied with each other in attempts to see what was going on. The crowd seemed to think that it was a circus and the religious rites were omitted at the grave on account of their unrulineas. The funeral itself was one of the most imposing ever held in Chi nese circles in this city, and the Chinese feel they have been ill-treated by the populace. The procession was over a mile long. CATOR UNDER ARREST. The Noted California Populist Charged With Assault to Murder. San Francisco, March 4. Thomas V. Cator, a well known political and Popu lUt candidate for United States senator in the recent election, was arrested at 1 o'clock this morning charged with as sault to murder. Cator had a quarrel over business matters with a music teacher at the house of a friend. When Cator drew his pistol the teacher had him arrested. No shots were fired.

Nellis, and has this to Kay of the young lady: "Among the pianists whose merits deserve public recognition is Miss Celeste B. Nellis. She is one of the few who believs that years of hard work and study in addition to genius are the requirements of one desiring a mastery of the piano and an acceptance of the maestro's in structions from A to Z alone and not that a course of a dozen lessons fits her as a pianist or entitles her to herald to the world that she is a pupil of any great virtuoso. She possesses a remarkable and finely developed technique, with an exquisitely sympathetic, firm and author itative touch for so young a ladyw She has the real musical intelligence and plays with a finesse, a refinement of feel ing and expression that is admirable and enjoyable as welL Young as Miss Nellie is (being but seventeen years of age), and a pupil still, her talents have already been recognized by numerous diplomas and medals, which have been awarded her." Mrs. O. D. Walker of Keokuk, Iowa, who.assisted at Mrs. W. H. Simpson's re ception last Tuesday, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Mary Simpson of Law rence, this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

Every girl wants some spot, be it never so small, for her very own. Confi dences are not easily exchanged in a room where she is constantly subject to interruptions from the friends of her mamma or her big sister, or where the younger children have the right of way. Some place there must be where she can talk over the last party with her dearest Aminta, or sit and dream of the last dance at that party and of cer tain sweet, whispered nothings; a sanc tum where she can perchance let her maiden fancies overflow in rhymes too sacred for any eye. If this can be apart from her bedroom so much the better. There is often an unused hall room that can be taken for this purpose, and only needs a little ingenuity on the part of the fair owner to make it a very holy of holies. Such a den has been evolved by a Brooklyn girl, with her great-grand- A PRETTY CORNER. ma's brocade curtains for a starting point. The room, a second-story hall room in a wide, old-fashioned house, built when land was something less than thousands of dollars a front foot, was vacant by reason of the fact that the son and heir is away at college. The paper, a pinkish cream and gold, and the woodwork, also of pinkish cream, lent themselves readilvtoa color scheme of blue and cream, suggested by the aforesaid brocade curtains of an exquisite silk and linen texture and of the most fashionable and delightful shades of blue. The door leading into the hall was taken from its hinges and one of the wide curtains hung m its place from a pole of cream enamel and gold. In the deep window a seat was fitted and cushioned with blue corduroy; Moorish fretwork was placed across the top, and from this fell a second curtain, di vided in the middle and looped back at either side. Close to the glass under neath the shades the window was cur tained with sheer white curtains like the rest of the house. On the wall at the right stood a capacious box lounge covered with the brocade. The pillows had washable covers of white linen em broidered with the motif of the bro cade in blue Roman floss. In the box underneath some of mademoiselle's party dresses repose at full length. Opposite, nearly the whole length of the room, stand low book shelves of oak filled with rare and dainty edi tions of her favorite authors, while the top is used for the display of bric-a-brac and souvenirs of her last trip abroad. On the right of the window as you enter is placed the low bamboo tea table, with its pretty appointments, and at the left is the oak desk cozily littered with writing materials. Two low easy chairs, a work basket and some beautiful etchings and photo graphs in oak or white and gold frames complete the charming interior. THE ENGLISH IVY. Training the Plant So That It Looks Fresh and Green. Always Old plant growers do not need to be told of the good qualities of the Eng lish ivy for a successful indoor climber; but those who are just essaying house plants may be pleased to learn that with this plant they can have a climber to tram up and along the wall, and over pictures, if desired, and that it always looks fresh and green Its leaves are thick and of a leathery texture, and are capable of withstand ing the effects of considerable changes in temperature, of dry air, dust, and all the other disturbing agencies to plant life which are present in living rooms. .flan ted in ordinary pottmg soil in a medium-sized pot it is ready to com mence a growth which will continue for years, if only it is supplied with water and kept free from insects. It should be trained in such a manner that it can be taken down and restored again to its position, and this can be done by the use of a good strong cord or a wire. It is more or less subject to green fly, as are nearly all other plants, and it is liable to harbor scale insects. If the young plant has no scale insects on it, and there are none on other plants m the house, it may remain ex empt from them indefinitely. It is better, therefore, to guard this point in start ing a plant. Green fly, of course, is easily overcome by the well-known usual metnoas. auipno-toDacco soap perhaps is the best for the purpose in connection with this and other house plants. Vick's Magazine.

They Form Entire Collars, or Banchet Are Held Together by Straps of Lace or Rib bon How to Make Rosettes Spring Fashion Fancies. Special Correspondence. New York, Feb. 28. Eecause every woman is just now talking or thinking about the new floral garniture I feel it a duty to have my say on the subject. No matter how carefully I cover the ground one week, the next has develop ed so many new designs and fancies that there is fully as much to say again. Now the flowers have invaded street at tire, and the spring costumes are verita- AN KEW FLORAL GARMTURE. hie flower beds. As many as can be crushed and crowded together are put on in every possible way. Fancy collars of foundation net are sewed thickly with them, and great bunches are set wher ever they will prove most showy and ef fective. Bunches and other bunches held together by straps of .lace or ribbon are put on coats, capes and corsages. Diag onal festoons, ending under two large bunches, one at the shoulder and the other at the waist, are seen. Handsome masses of violets, with their stems and leaves in evidence, are set on the bust These are generally wide, and most of them have long flexible sprays of stems and flowers reaching quite to the waist I forgot to say that all these are violets. Some are the darkest, richest color, and some are of the pale bluish variety. The deep colored ones appear, however, to bo the favorites. Many sets are sold consisting of col lar, pelerine, bouquet, bonnet, corsage bouquet and a muff of velvet or plush, and these muffs are merely vehicles for the support of the masses of violets and the rich green moire ribbons. The spray I have mentioned. The pelerine is of silk muslin, chiffon or lace, either black or white, slightly puffed on to a founda tion of net cut to fit the shoulders. There is always a thick ruche of leafless violets at the neck, and another, still thicker, all the way around the cape, fastening in front with a large bunch and two immensely long loops and ends of green moire. The bonnet, too, has its close little bunch. I never saw such rage for any one thing before. On one ball dress of printed silk there was panel down the right side about eight inches wide made of one solid mass of violets reaching to the bottom of tha skirt. Aside from this, there was a ber tha of violets massed closely, with a fringe made of single flowers on long flexible Stems. These flowers are very perfect and altogether lovely. This fad is very good for trade and is harmless in itself, except when knickerbockered bi cyclists wear great masses of the flow ers. Sets already made are for sale ev erywhere, but they cost much more than every one can pay. The flowers are not so very dear in themselves, but the stylo and design bring the price up. I think nine out of ten "ladies could arrange their own floral decorations. Real flow ers are quite out of date now, and no self respecting person would deign to Wear such common things. I should add that the sets or any of the different arrangements, of these flowers are worn with any and all kinds of garments, from the plainest wool to the richest velvets. They are added to tailor gowns and somehow look just right. I saw one set such as I have been describing worn over a navy blue velu- HOW EOSETTES ARE MADE. tina, made princess shape and walk ing length. The leaf green of the ribbon made a vivid but not at all nnpleasing contrast with the velvet. Lilac or violet tibbon can also be suitably used for decoration. Next to the flowers in point of popu larity is the rosette. The rosettes are used to trim skirts, to head festoons and to add their beauty to collars, stocks and corsages, to say nothing of millinery. The lighter the material is the prettier is the effect The material really ought to be cut bias, but sometimes it cannot be, and in that case requires to be a trifle fuller. The edges are turned to gether and run loosely and then gather ed up. There should be a round founda tion, and to this the gathered edges are tacked, beginning from the outer edge and crushing the inner circle, so that the ending does not show. A few deft touches will then bring it into the de sired position. They can be made as fall as is desired. Olive Harpksl. PRETTY MICROBE EXPERT. Misa Williams, of New York, and Her Peculiar Work. Such a shy, diffident little woman, only five feet high, with hands just big enough to lift the big bottles off the shelves, and bright eyes which look as if they could see the friskiest of mi crobes even without the aid of a mag nifying glass! This is Miss Anna Wil liams, the young woman who assists Dr. Briggs, of the bacteriological labor atory of the board of health, to find out whether the germs of tuberculosis, cholera or diphtheria are most ram pageous within the city limits. She was very busy when a New York Advertiser man went to see what a feminine bacteriologist accomplished. She ws whisking about the sunny room, with its broad windows and rows of long tables. First she would fill a' great crystal bowl with water and wrinkle up her brow and draw her mouth down at the corners to discover if it was pure and unadulterated; then sift would fly to the incubator, big shining metal cases, where in hot water and ever steampipes the suspected mi crobes were being roasted into activity. A bottle of microbes of diphtheria, con sumption j'our choice, in fact neatly sealed and labeled, is undone, and a well-nigh unseeable quantity is poured on a bit of glass, already prepared with oils for the names of which the reader i3 referred to the laboratory then the miserable microbe is seen through the magnifying glass, and anti-toxine is promptly forwarded to the doctor who sent the little bottle as a contribution. Miss Williams deserted her occupa tion for a minute, when the curious caller asked her how she liked her work. "It is very absorbing," said the little bacilli expert. "Do you like it better than other branches?" "Well, I don't know," said Miss Wil liams guardedly. "Of course it is only one branch of the study of medicine." "Were you chosen because you were a woman?" "No, indeed. It was a competitive examination. There were five or six, I believe. I was not chosen. I don't think people ought to look upon women in the profession as they do. There should be nothing more remarkable in my being here than if I were a man. I am an expert bacteriologist. passed my medical examinations and received my degree of M. D. at the woman's medical college, in Eighteenth street, three years ago." "Do you intend to make bacteriology a specialty or will you be a general practitioner later on?" "I can say nothing about my practice that is not the public's business. The work here is not a private one, but my practice is different," and the diffi dent little doctor went back to her polly wogs. Such a nervous, shy, slender little bacilli expert! Why, how she can face MISS ANNA WILLIAMS IN THE LABORA TORY. the germ of diphtheria, boldly wipe out of existence the essence of phthisis, in terview cholera microbes and take mi nute examinations of yellow-fever germs is more than the caller of the other day can imagine! But bacilli don't ask ques tions and microbes of tuberculosis don't care whether it is a woman or a man who views them through the micro scope. Miss Williams is twenty-five years of age, a bundle of nerves, big sleeves and shyness. She is appointed for a year. The assistants in the laboratory are paid from $1,200 to $1,800 per annum. She receives $1,200. And she has a fa miliar acquaintance with every kind of a microbe! THE BICYCLE CRANK. Make Him Kan a Sewing Machine While He Is Getting; Exercise. A new contrivance for making a hus band and his wheel both useful and agreeable is suggested in the Album THE CRANK MADE USEFUL IndustrieL Let the bicycle be securely fastened to the ceiling, and raised suffi ciently to allow the wheels to turn in the air. Then connect the wheel worked by the pedals with the wheel of your wife's sewing machine by means of a strap, and when she says "Go!" start off at a breakneck pace and ring the bell furiously, until she shouts "Whoa!" In this way a husband can make himself of the greatest use to his wife, and at the same time keep his muscles in splendid condition. A Very Pretty Laundry Bag.
