District Attorney Hayden has notified the state treasury department Ibat be will begin prooeedioga to have set aside the order of tbe oircuit court permitting the pHymeot of the branob asylum war rant, and has asked that no payment be made pending a hearing. Mr. Hay (leu m&lotaiua that as succes sor of James MoCaiu, distriot attorney for the tbird jn.lioml district, he was plaintiff in the suit brought to enjoin payment of tbe warrant ; that tbe su preme oonrt sustained bim in tbe suit, and that without bis consent tbe attor ney entered into stipulations whereby the supreme court gav e the lower oourt tbe right to reopen the case, and upon stipulation of the same parties in the lower oourta n ducree was rendered au thorizing the treasury department to pay the warruut. A pluintiff, the distriot attorney says, he will conduct bis own oase. He says he never employed coun sel to stipulate for him. Two of the at torneys who signed the stipulations, he soys, were employed by Bush, and the third by Mr. Fnzzell and others. Ex District Attorney MoCaiu says be never authorizj.i any one to represent the state. Attorney General Idlem'iu refused to sign the stipulations. Mr. flaydeu in tends to go betord Circuit Judge Boise, who made the decree, expeoting treat muni iu accordance with the showing made. Treasurer Metanh'in said be would not pay tbe warrant until the matter is set tied by the courts, HOW A SPANIARD LOV i8. Ilia Attention to a I inly In La (irnnde Canned Trouble.

But bis too persistent attentions to a young lady in this city bavo brought bira to grief and now be languishes in a cell. Edwards fell in love with Miss Ger trude, the daughter of (. Z liederduin, who either from ohnioe nr parental re quest, failed to roiprooHta the modern young Louhmvar's ardi'Dl auVotiona. Believing that "None hut the brave de serve the fair", the suitor talked around the neighborhood eorae of shooting the entire family. Mr. Zu.edcrduiu finally put n atop to all the love ranking and Edwards' Ibreu'g beoiunH dire ami doep. Mr. Z lli'ileriliiio taut evening swore out a warrant for Edwurdn, who was arrested by Constable Trump last nibt and placed in jml, aa.J victim to tbe woes of iHirequili d love.

It is claimed that notwithstanding Li Hung Chang has shown some liber ality of views toward modern improve ments and education, he is at heart a hater of foreigners, and has an abiding faith in Chinese institutions and meth ods of government. He is, it is true, a great admirer of Confucinn philos ophy, and remembering the enduring history of his people we can hardly wonder at his devotion to the institu tions which have made that hiitory possible. When we call to mind the experience China has had with certain western nations, it might not be con sidered strange if his attachment to foreigners was not very ardent; but in all his public iife, says John V. Fos ter in Century, his conduct nhows that he feels the need of foreign aid, and is disposed to give it proper wel come, and of all Chinese statesmen he i the most liberal-minded and free from prejudice. He is far from claim ing that the present system of govern ment is perfect. He hns, in fact, urged upon the authorities t Peking two im portant changes which look to a reform of the most serious defects in the sys tem; to wit, the withdrawal from the viceroys of proviuces of jiowers which should le exercised only by the imperial government, and such a change in the method of admission to tbe public serv ice as will lilx-ralie the examinations, ond make fitness rather than scholar ship the test. There are other cTmnges which he would gladly bring about if he had the power; but, as he confessed to Mnriiiis Ito, "China is hampered by nntiqtiutcd customs which prevent de sirable reforms."

A very effectively and exceedingly dressy curtain caji be made from Swiss muslin, either dotted or plain, by edg ing it with a ruffle ten inches wide and hemmed at both sides. This should be put on with a puff and narrow heading, lying on the curtain, and a ribbon of the prevailing color of tbe room run under the pun. On this nuff at i'litervnTa of six inches from center of flower to center of the floor a large daisy, without foliage or stem, sewed on accurately, or a wide-open wild rose, gives a most fascinating result. Say that the room is pink and white, a white satin rib bon under the puff and wild roses for color; or if blue and white, blue rib bon and daisies. The curtains should be looped with ribbon of the shade used under the muslin, and a large graceful bow in the center, where the curtain meet, is an improvement. The, use of artificial flowers as a rule is o etrongly to be condemned that I fear natural rood taste will make many disinclined to try this sim ple anu very effective decoration. I tan only say that I share their preju dice, but confidently recommend this exception to a good rule. They should he so u.sed as to almost make voti think they were embroidered on to the mus lin, ana no attempt bo made to add graoeful buds and leaves just the stiff, regularly fustened flower of ex actly the same size and shape. Smbll conventional bunches of flat scarlet geranium blossom with scarlet rib 1 ons, or of bluets, with white riblions, have, been successful also, but the daisies and Bingle roses are most easily managed. For ve.rv much shadowed low-ceiled rooms point d'esprit or other small- i figured luces con be used to good effect, particularly if there is an old-fashioned mirror lietween the parlor windows; one undivided very wide curtain, at tached to an old-time cornice at either window and drawn buck with a high loop right and left, and a drapery extending across tlie mirror In well-pro-srt ioned curves, the. dee pest In the ceu ti r. falling on the mirror, and with a slender sort of jnbot effect at the outer edire of thn sash frames, tapering to a Kiiit a little more than, hiilf way down to the floor. The lnee of the curtain should have a very clear sheer edg.i nt least four inches w ide, of the Mech lin ty pe, ii ml the good result in Increased if the mirror is covered by the point d'esprit, na mosquito netting is some times wlretched over pointings.

More Centenarians Amonft Women Than Among Hen-Why Is It SoT A report from the office of the fegis-trar-general of England shows that there are more female than male cen tenarians, says the Baltimore Sun. Out of 1,000,000 people 225 women reach the age of 100 years, while only 82 men round out the century. Now, the great conundrum which is proposed is: Why is this so? According to the popular superstition, it takes much longer for a woman to reach even the age of 50 than it takes for a man to reach that age. If this is true, it makes the show ing all thu more remarkable. It has even been asserted that association with women makes a man live longer, as shown by the fact that the average life of the married man is longer than the average life of a single man. The fact, however, is denied by the endmen at the minstrels, who says that the life of the married man is not really longer, but only seems so. .;. So far there is no satisfactory ex planation of the original proposition why more women live to be 100.

It may be many of the men who would live to be 100 are killed at an eanly age in casualties to which women are not exposed. It may be that tight lacing is a life preserver, and it may be not a fact, after all. Possibly the English registrar-general may b mistaken. The situation is replete withj possibilities. ,-v, , Ice-Brenklna: Ships. Vice Admiral Makarow, of the Rus sian navy, has been studying the con structionanduseof powerful ice-breaking ships.
