WASHINGTON WIDOWS.
The Haven Par Exr ellenoe for Dt
voroed People.
Census Figures Which Sho That the Na.
tlonal Capital Carries O T the Laurel
as a Resort for Alntr 'monial
TJnfortunates-
The funny writers will Have to re
vise their jokes it the fipures ot the
census office are correct. There is a
good deal of danger that he District
of Columbia will soon be pointed at
throughout the country and cartooned
in the comic papers as the haven par
excellence for divorced people. For it
is a fact, says the 'Washington News,
that the figures of the latest census
bulletin given to the public show that
Washington city has more people in it
per capita who have been through the
divorce court than has Chicago, that
hustling metropolis of the west, which
has a world-wide reputation for the
cheapness and dispatch with which the
lawyers can render asunder the bonds
of matrimony that were supposed to
be eternal when they were riveted at
the altar.
The figures that are reputed not to
lie are these: Chicago, with a popula
tion of 1,099,850, has 1,540 men and
women in its limits who have been un
married that is, one divorced person
to every 670 of the population. The
District of Columbia, with a population
of 230,392, has 400146 men and 314
women divorced people, or one in
every 501 of the inhabitants. So the
District carries off the laurels. Still,
throughout the United States, there is
one divorced person for every B20 of
population. But while this is a start
ling statement, there are a number of
other communities that surpass the Dis
trict in this respect. The little puri
tanical state of Vermont, for instance
with a population of 370,530 has 1,200
people who had to seek legal separation
in order to kc peace in the family.
Virginia evidently has a climate better
adapted to domestic peace than has the
District, for while it has seven times
the number of inhabitants, it contains
slightly less than four times as many
divorced couples as does the capital.
Maryland shows up still more staid, for
its population is four and a half as large
as that of the District, though it has
less than twice the number of divorced
people as has the latter.
There is another peculiar thing about
the district its percentage of married
people is less than that which prevails
throughout the country. Taking the
U nited States at large and nearly 3
per cent, of the inhabitants are
married. In the district less than 33
percent, have ventured upon wedlock,
but more alarming than any of these
figures is the presence of widows in
the District. There are actually 13,629
widows here dashing or otherwise
or one for every W4 of the population.
This figure appears to be very large
when it is considered that throughout
the United S'-au.-s the pumler of lxth
men and women whe nave lost thr;ir
partners In lifr An ih, ruiutur rw;r
than one to every twenty-one of the in
habitants. et in the District the
widows alone move afound in society
at the ratio of one to sixteen and one
half. An interesting study Is brought up
in the effort to discover why it is that
the District has more thau its share of
divorced people, widows and unmarried
inhabitants. It is answered very easily
by the simple fact that one-half of the
employes of the government are
women. There are great numbers of
widows of soldiers who were killed in
the war who have sought this city and
been successful in securing lucrative
government appointments. Then there
are thousands of young ladies who get
places in the departments and con
clude that it is better to hold them
than to give their hearts to some fel
low whose salary in their estimation 1b
not more than enough to support
themselves. The divorced people get
there in pretty much the same way.
Women shorn of the protection and
support of their erstwhile husbands
have tried their fortunes in the capital
and in many instances been able to
Becure desks in the goverment work
shops. MAN NOT EASILY KILLED.
The New Minister to Uruguay Has Had
Many Marrow Escapes in the West.
A tall, slender man, with iron-gray
beard and hair and piercing eyes which
roved around under a pair of heavy
gray eyebrows, sauntered through the
Arlington lobby at Washington the
other day. "That is Granville Stuart,
of Montana, the new minister to Uru
guay and Paraguay," said an old-timer
to a Star reporter. "He is on his way
to his new post, and this is the first
time he has been east of the Mississippi
for a quarter of a century. He has had
more startling adventures and hair
breadth escapes than almost any man
you ever heard of. I remember one of
them well. Stuart was one of the first
pioneers in the territory of Montana
and was quartz crazy like the rest of
them. He was out on a prospecting
trip once and had dismounted from his
horse, leaving his rifle strapped to the
saddle, when the animal ran away. It
was late in the year and that night
snow began falling. He was miles
away from any habitation, in the heart
of the mountains, and in searching for
his horse he lost his bearings. He had
only a small pocketknife and his fusee
sale only contained two or three fire
makers. The first night he was out it
grew very cold and he made a lire,
which attracted some small birds,
Stuart caught about a dozen of them
and cooked them. For ten days he
wandered through the mountains with
nothing else to eat but those little
bims. One day an elk rubbed against
a tive within two yards of him, but ho
had nothing to kill it with. Then a
frog crossed his path, but he was not
strong enough to catch up with it.
When he was nearly dead two Indians
found hira and took him into their
camp to have fun with him. They fed
him up so as to get strong enough to
run while they could beat him with
tepee poles. One night he escaped,
stole a horse and got away. He got
lost in the mountains aguin, and dog
goned if his second horse didn't get
away from him! He wi ndered around
again for three or four days, and then,
when he had given up completely and
lain down to die, some of the party who
had gone out to hunt him up came
across him and carried hiin to camp. 1 1
is devoutly believed in Montana that
nothing can kill Granville Stuart. He
was a mighty hunter in those days, too.
He has the record of killing sixteen elk
from one spot, without getting up. Ilo
is a man of powerful mind, and will
uphold the stars and stripes and all
that they mean in his new position."
THE YIDDISH DIALECT.
A Corruption of Hebrew That Exists In
Every Community Where Jews Live.
Yiddish will defy the definition of
the smartest lexicographer, for not
any one of these could state in a few
words what constitutes the dialect,
which is neverthelesss perfectly clear
to every Jew. It evades definition be
cause of its mixed nature, and because
it is a different thing according to the
latitude and longitude it inhabits.
The Yiddish of Poland and Germany is
very different from that of the east
end of London, though the latter is
based in a very large measure on the
former.
In other words, says the Jewish
Chronicle, it is influenced by its envi
ronments, an expression of which the
evolutionists are so fond. The basis
of Hebrew words, with their ancient
encrustrations of who knows what
which have clung to them in their
wanderings through all climes and
througli the centuries, still goeB on
gathering new influences day by day as
it needs them, and so Yiddish is, like
all other languages, an ever-shifting
element, only perhaps more so. But
all this we have known for a long
time.
It is perhaps not so generally
known, however, that thiB same Yid
dish in its turn exercises a consider
able influence over its neighbors and
flowers the language of the Gentiles
among whom it dwells by many a tell
ing and significant word and phrase.
Marriage hy Advertisement.
Marriage by an advertisement and
pretty modest advertisement at that
has become an institution in Japan,
says the New York World. The Frank
furter Zeitung quotes the following:
"A young lady wishes to marry; she is
beautiful, has a rosy countenance,
framed in dark hair, eyebrows in the
form of the crescent moon, and a small
but gracious mouth. She is also very
rich rich enough to spend the day by
the side of her beloved admiring flow
ers and to pass ttie night in singing ti
the stars of heaven. The man on whom
her choice shall fall must lie young,
handsome and educated." The adver
tiser seems to think that, this being
given, enough has been done to secure
the perfect life, for the next clause re
fers to the end of it: "He must also be
willing1 to ahnro (ha f(f fff,Y

There is a quaint and curious old
town on the Colorado river in Arizona,
situated about one hundred and forty
miles above the town of Yuma, that is
known to the few who are aware of its
existence by the name of Klironburg.
It now consists only of a lew long
streets of crumbling and uninhabited
adobe houses and a population of about
twenty Mexicans and Indians with
perhaps half a dozen whites. Hut, ac
cording to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
it was not always thus. In for
mer days, before the advent of the two
transcontinental railways that now
cross the territory, bhrcnlmrg was a
plaee of some importance and boasted
a population, transient and permanent,
of near one thousand souls. In those
days, besides being the center of a
flourishing placer mining district, it
was the entry port for all the freight
and passenger traffic between Cali
fornia and northern Arizona, a line of
river steamboats from Yuma making a
weekly landing and the overland stage
between San llernardino, Cal., and
Prescott, Arizona, crossing the river by
ferryboat at this point. In 1878, when
the Southern Pacific railway readied
the territory, the glory of lihrenburg
commenced to decline, and later, when
the Atlantic and Pacific railway built
its bridge at the Needles, sixty miles
above, the old town was soon deserted
by all save a few miners who held
claims in the vicinity, and since then,
both the town and its inhabitants have
been enjoying a Itip Van Winkle re
pose. If we arc permitted to judge
from the results of an official investiga
tion lately conducted at the Eliren
burg post office, this statement must be
especially true as regards the post
master of this forgotten town. 1
It seems that one Jesus Daniels, a
Mexican, received the appointment of
postmaster to the town some twelve
years ago, and has ever since held the
position without the interference of
postal authorities and without com
municating with them in any manner
whatever. The population of the dis
trict tributary to the post office lias in
creased during the last eighteen
months, owiug to an awakening inter
est in some of the old mines in the vi
cinity, and the failure of letters to
reach their destination through that
onice led to complaints, until the mat
ter culminated in Inspector George B.
Waterbury Deing sent from Washing
ton to investigate. He arrived there
some weeks ago, and 1 is examination
brought to light a curious state of af
fairs. In the office were found one
hundred and fifty-eight letters, some
of them postmarked twelve years ago.
Among them were seven registered
letters, fifty-seven with requests for re
turn of them; seven were addressed to
Ellisburg, Wash., and had never been
forwarded, and fifty-one were ad
dressed to persons living in Ehrenburg,
These latter the inspector himself de
livered to the parties to whom they
were addressed. Laid to one side were
sixty official letters addressed to the
postmaster, not one of which had been
opened, and two full sacks of newspa
per mail lay in a corner, neither of
which had been opened. It was also
brought to light that since taking
charge of the office Daniels has never
made a report or purchased a stamp
from Washington. Further search re
vealed the fact that three years ago
Thomas J. Goodwin, an old citizen of
Ehrenburg, had been appointed post
master of the town, and his commis
sion had been duly forwarded to him.
The document was found unopened,
and of course had not been delivered.
OUR MILITARY RESOURCES.
No Other Nation Can Muster Ho Large an
Army as Uncle Nam.
The United States has been said to
be a warlike nation without being a
military nation. It.) war potentialities
are vast indeed, says the Boston Jour
nal. It showed that thirty years ago,
when with only a little more than half
its present population it mustered more
than 3,000,(KXJ men under arms in the
union and confederate forces. There
is now in America the enormous total
of y.OOO.OOO men of military age eligi
ble for military service. No civilized
country in the world could place Buch
a gigantic host of men iu the field in an
emergency.
Of course, the actual number of or
ganized, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only a small fraction of this,
but the real available military strength
of the United States Is only inadequate
ly appreciated by the average Ameri
can. The military Bpirit which the
civil war engendered has not died out
among the American youth. On the
contrary, it has amply held its own, if
it has not increased. Never before
was the national guard of the several
states so strong in numbers, so well
armed, so excellently disciplined.
There are 112,190 of these volunteers
in all, representing infantry, cavalry
and artillery. Their efficiency widely
varies, being high as a rule, in the old,
rich, and populous states, and less sat
isfactory in the newer and sparsely
Bettied communities.
New York heads the list in numbers
with a well-equipped force of 12,810
officers and men as large as a fighting
army corps of the rebellion. Pennsyl
vania has a force of a, 014, whose mettle
was tried two years ugo at Homestead;
Ohio has 0,125 and Massachusetts 5,000.
Ah it happens, the states in which the
present strike centers are well pre
p'jri'd for sneli an emergency. Illinois'
militia body musters 4,777 men; Indi
ana's, 2,033; luwa's, 2,351; Missouri's,
2,-U'i, and Michigan's, 2,801. Illinois is
p.irtii-iilarly fortunate in the character
of its line city regiments.
Tiie entire organised militia of the
United Mates is subject to the orders
of the president and can be moved and
C'ncenl.rstf'd wherever r-e'.'SMon for its
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
ABSOLUTELY PORE
presence arises. When to this great
army of 100,000 men are added the 25,
000 regulars and the 2,000 or 3.000 blue
jackets and marines of the warships on
the home station it is obvious that
there is something more than the po
liceman's club between the American
people and anarchy.
MULEY HASSAN AND THE JEWS.
He Presented to Thorn Only the Ilenevo
lent SMe of His Character.
The Jewish subjects of Muley Has
san will sincerely lament his sudden
death. Nothing, it is true, could be
much worse to our ideas thnr. the con
dition of the Jews under the late sul
tan, but a lower depth may yet
open in the deep. Muley Hassan pre
sented to the Jews only the benevolent
side of his character. He showed no
countenance to the oppressors of the
Jews, says the London Jewish Chroui
iele, and when, well authenticated
abuses were brought under his notice
he did something to remove them.
About a year ago an occasion arose
when Muley Hassan displayed at once
his genuine love of justice and his ori
ental dislike of foreign interference.
The governor of Morocco citadel had
displayed more than usual vigor in ap
plying the bastinado to the Jews. The
latter applied for redress to the minis
ters of foreign powers at Tangier. The
sultan resented this appeal, but reme
died the abuse. "Conduct thyself,"
wrote Muley Hassan to his over-energetic
officer in Morocco, "towards the
Jews in the same way as thou aetest
toward Molinmmedans under thy ad
ministration; in civil affairs do justice
to them, and iu religious matters leave
absolutely to their rabbis the task of
deciding them. This friendly disposi
tion was more than shared by the Jews
of Morocco. They had an almost ex
aggerated fondness for Muley Hassan,
forgetting that while his active good
will was but spasmodic the cruelties
and oppressive exactions of Ins depu

THOUGHTLESS CRUELTY.
Heartrending Scenes Witnessed In South'
em Frttnce.
Normandy and Brittany are full of
scenes heartrending to the true lover
of animals. The author of "France of
To-Day" describesone form of thought
less cruelty which is regularly prac
ticed in the Pays de Caux, even by peo
ple who are really kind and well mean
ing. She says:
To my thinking, tho Pays de Caux
is very depressing. Each homestead
stands amid lines of beach and oak,
formal as toy trees of a child's mimic
garden. The trees, regularly planted
and cut at intervals, form a parallelo
grain affording shelter to farmhouse
buildings and apple orchards. You
enter this somber inclosure to light
upon an .unwonted and heartrending
spectacle
In the open space between house and
trees is a pen, perhaps two yards
square. This is the lifelong prison of
the trusty watchdog. Incredible as
it may appear, no one sees any cruelty
in thus keeping a dog cooped within
iron palings from January to Decern
ber. In fact, from its youth to old
age, never for a single moment is it al
lowed to escape. My kind host agreed
with mo on the unnaturalness of such
treatment.
"A dog, in the eyes of these good
folks," he said, "is a barking machine
nothing else."
The White and Ulark Cross fish.
Both China and Japan have long
been known as lands where rare forms
of both vegetable and animal life exist,
but I don't remember of ever having
seen anything in print until lately con
ccrning the "cross fish," a piscatorial
wonder which abounds, in the fresh
waters of both countries. The rarest
specimen of the two is the one known
to the Jans by a term signifying "the
fish of the block cross." It is a pink
colored fish (belonging to the goldfish
family), only about four inches long
and seemingly almost transparent
with the exception of a jet black cross
extending down the back, with side
arms pointing down and outward to
ward the lateral fins. The "white cross
fish" appears to be but a variety of the
above described species, resembling it
in ifcneral outline of form. In this
variety the skin is of a more decided
red and the tail broader and more flat
tened. It takes its common name from
the fact that both sides arc marked
with perfect figures of white crosses.
Halutlng the Princess.
An amusing scene occurred In Stutt

plain uttirc. On this occasion she
passed a sentinel who did not recog

proper salutations. A sergeant across
the street made violent gestures to
make liim grasp the situation, where

THE GAME OF GOLF.
Favorite Old Pastime of the
Sootoh People.
t
It la Now Very Popular with Americans
Who Have the Time and Means to
Play It How the tiime Is i
Played. (
Golf is fast becoming popular. Among
society people it has got to be quite the
thing This favorite Scotch game can
be traced so far back that the exact
date of its origin is lost. While its
adoption in this country has been Blow,
it is now firmly rooted, says the Cincin
nati Enquirer, and this season promises
to be its greatest. In their search for
something new the society folk have
seized upon it, and many are learning
the game.
Golf is not limited to any particular
class of individuals, Ladies and chil
dren can play the game as well as men,
and in nearly all the golf clubs which
have reoently been organized the wom
en show as keen an interest as the men
themselves. Its devotees claim there
is no game under the sun like golf, and
as a thoroughly health-giving exercise
it possesses all of the necessary quali
ties.
The first regular club organized In
this country was the St. Andrew's Golf
club, whose grounds are now situated
at Gray Oaks, a short distance above
Yonkers, but within the corporation
limits. This club was organized in 1888,
and for the first few years the members
played on various fields around Yonk
ers. Tins year, however, new grounds
have been secured at Gray Oaks, where
the game can be played on a more sys
tematic basis A farm of about 250
acres, has been secured, and the old-
fashioned farmhouse has been con
verted into a comfortable and cozy
clubhouse.
The grounds, or links, cover a space
of about two miles, and there are in
this circuit nine holes. The holes are
about four and one-fourth inches in di
ameter, and are placed in what are
colled putting greens. These putting
greens are wel leveled plots of ground
from forty-fivr to sixty feet square,
and the object is to drive the ball into
the holes with the fewest number of
strokes. The circuit leads over hills,
sometimes across streams, ditches, rail
road tracks, as tho case may bo, and
the skill of the player is shown in
lofting his ball over these difficult
places or hazards, as they are called, to
a position where he can get a good
stroke to send it down to the next hole
Each time tho ball is "holed" it is
taken out and placed on what is termed
the "teeing" ground, a short distance
from the holes. Tho player, in start
ing his ball again in play, may, if he
desires, take a little soft earth, and,
making a mound about half an inch to
an inch iu height, place his ball on top
of this, which is the "tee," and then
drive it as far as he can toward the
next hole.
While in play the ball must not
be touched or moved from the spot
where it falls. Should the ball land
on one of the hazards, as in the bottom
of a ditch or close to a railroad track
or a stone wall, it may require several
Btrokes to place it in a more favorable
position. It will bo seen that such a
state of affairs may count seriously
against a player, since it is desirable to
make as few strikes as possible.
The balls are made of gutta percha,
very hard, and about one and one-half
Inches in diameter. They are struck
with clubs, with long, slender shafts,
at one end of which are projecting
heads of hardwood, backed with lead
or malleable iron. There are Beveral
different Bhapes of the striking ends,
adapted to tho varieties of play, as
long drives, raising the ball in the air
to clear an obstruction and others.
When these various features are un
derstood, together with the fact that
before finishing a game the player
walks fully two miles and sometimes
more, and that, too, over hills and
many rough plaeos, there is no question
about the exercise afforded by golf.
Then, as tliero is no time limit, the
players can rest as much as they
please in going tho rounds of the links.
HER OBNOXIOUS ATTIRt.
It Was Tob Mneh for the Nerve of This
Poor Woman.
Had nerves are frequently very
troublesome. Experience proves that
it is always advisable to nip their dem
onstrations in the bud before they get
too audacious and assume control of
the whole system.
At a garden concert the other even
ing, says the New York World, a very
flue-looking, elderly woman in a high
ly desirable seat seemed to be laboring
under a mysterious malady. She
j twisted about, she wriggled, she rubbed
her hands together excitedly, she
leaned back and shut her eyes as if in
desperation. What could be the mat
ter with her? She did not seem warm,
for she did not fan, and she looked too
well to lie on the verge of a Btroke of
any kind. Suddenly the mystery was
Solved. Before her sat a lovely summer
girl clad in a charming fluffy gown of
silk gauze. The perturbed old lady
leaned and touched her on the shoul
der. Then Bhe said:
"Young lady, your gown is beauti
ful, but it is made with the stripes run
ning bias on your back, and they drive
me nearly frantic. Would you mind
changing seats with run, so I can't see
them? If you don't I shall certainly
have to go home."
