• The whim in England just now among
the aristocracy, not the theatrical or pro-

are given but the fair patricians are gener-
ally well known, especially to the people
they most desire to have see them in this

"In Sweden and Norway," eaya an et.
obange, " it is a crime to make any profit

the Philadelphia Record. The soled intox-

by municipal communities -cities, towns,

.community, and are applied to the support
of schools, hospitals and other public
institutions. Only hotels aro permitted to
etail liquore, and the liquors sold iv them
,must be purchased from the community.

An exhibition of mementoes of the Eng-

the present day is attracting much atten-

have belenged to David Gerrit* with an
autograph note on the flyleaf. There are
relics of Mrs. Siddons, Maoready, John
Kemble, Peg Woffington, Mario and others,
a chair said to have been Shakespeare's,
and a portrait) of the great playwright
from the Earl of Warwiekai private gallery.
The latter is represented to be the work of
a contemporary painter, but as no proof of
the statement is offered it is not given much
weight by antiquarians and critics who have
examined it.

The atanoephere, so to say, is full of
merriages, i. e. no one es.n talk of any
thing else. And this prattle is not limited
in either respect, to the Prineess of
Roumania or Princests Margaretha, the
Emperor's sister, but teams the wide range
uf ;moiety at large. Whatever the Kaiser
does the faehionable society in Berlin must
do, And since His 1VIejeety fixed upon the
25th of January for the nuptials of his
sister, all the marriageable girls in Berlin
who were engaged and many who a few
weeks ago were not, have become elavea to
the toadying spirit in vogue end Foliated
the same date for their weddings.
Never before in the annals of the Father-
land will so many marriages be solemn;zed
on a given date as will be celebrated on the
day in question. The parsons will have a
rough time of it, especially those of them
whose ministrations lie in the fashionable
distriets. Some of the best known churches
have already over twenty marriages each
booked, and more are being notified every
day. New is this matrimonial craze con-
fined to Berlin. From Frankfort, Leipzic,
Cologne and other large cities and towns
comes intelligence of a similar state of
things. Indeed, throughout the empire a
violent matrimonial wave is now sweeping,
and all mating couples are hurrying up to
enter the holy bonds of wedlock noon the
same day and hour as will the Princess
Mareezethe and Prince Friedrich Karl of
Hesse.
wearami COUNTS His MIMS BEFORE
HATCHED.
His Majesty William the Second to None
is beaming with delight at this turn of
thins in the matrimonial market, and
mentioned to one of his equerries a few
daya ago that in order to encourage young
marriages, and more particularly signalize
the event in question, he intended, if he
could think out setae tangible scheme+, to
present every bride of the 25th instwith
some little souvenir of the auspicious cow
sion, which world be further augmented
when in dee course the bride presented her
husband with a souvenir in the form of a
male child. "For," said His Majesty, "11
many thousands get married on the 25th, I
OEM calculate from the birth returns the
nunaber of male children born in this year,
and thus arrive at an approximate estimate
of the number a recruits I may look
"foe when tits time arrives for their taking
service with the colors." "If it only could
be," continued His Majesty, "that certain
days in the Neer could be set aside as
matrimonial days, it would simplify matters
immensely, both in the Registrar-Generars
returns and in my calculation of the raw
levies and I should farther be enabled to
peep into the future and rely upon a given
date of counting upon so many additional
recruits,"

be added, the least attractive as far as per-

reputation, however, of being intellectually
the brightest and clevereet of the family
and has always been her mother's favorite
as well as that of her lamented father.
Perhaps she is more English in her ways
and testes than any of her brothers and
sisters, speaks English with even less accent
than any of Queen Victoria's children and
is fond of English sports and amusements.
Among her nueneroue accomplishments is
that of driving four-in-hand.

Her fitencee, Prince Frederick Charles of

grave of Hesse, and, as the latter has con-
tracted a morganatic marriage, will eventu-
ally succeed to the large estates and vast
fortune of his elder brother. Prince Alex-
ander is blind, and is renowned in Europe
for his talent as a musician and as a com-
poser. He himself succeeded to the family
estates on the death of a still older brother,
who perished in a very mysterious manner
about three years ago while on a voyage
around the world. He was on his way
from Batavia to Singapore, and one evening
after dinner retired to his cebin for a siesta.

ing to his emisin of Hesse-Dermstadt. The
girl is 19; a very suitable match it would
be for the young Grand Duke, perhaps:a
better one than he could make elsewhere.
Princess letsodore's mother, the Duchess
Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein, had rather
a fehey for the very non -royal name of
Jenny and bestowed it on her eldest
daughter, the present German Empress, as
well as on Princess Feoclore.
LAGER I3EER PAYS TIM ARMY.
Beer plays such a large part in German
romance and patriotism that it seems only
right to have the jugs of lager paying f5r
the strengthening of national defences. The
new Military Bill will entail an extra
expenditure of nearly three million sterling
on the army, and a, new brewery tax has
been proposed, which is estimated to raise
• just a trifle over that sum. .At the reas-
sembling of the Reichstag, the Secretary of
State for the ,Treasury delivered a foroible
speech in support of the bill fixing the new
brewery tax,and expounded the direct
connection between the wants of the nation
in the way of inoreiseed armaments and her
resources tor taxtetion in mare/wed consump-
tion of beer. The bill will duly pass into
law, and every loyal and patriotic beer -
drinker will endeavor to increase his cubm
capacity with a view to helping his country
through his stomach, if nee through his
sword -arm. The Teutonic toper of the
future will have the best of excuses to take
home to his wife: "Drunk, mein lieber
Frau ? Hein! I was but providing

Strong Evidence Against Use Accused
Discovered -The Deienee-Visited la.
Jail.
Government Detectives Rogers and Greer
returned yesterday from Smith's Falls,
where they unearthed some itnportant evi-
dence in the case of Charles Luckey,
charged with the warder of his father,
rnother and sisters at Irish Creek, two
days after his release from the Central
Prison.
It is understood that the defence will be
that no murder was committed, that the
house took fire while Luckey was.vietting
his parents, and Viet he alone escaped from
the learning building.
Luckey was visited in jail by the mem-
bere'llif-vedge County Council a few days ago.
He recoenized several of the councillors and
chattecefreely with them, evading, how-
ever, any allusion to the charge which
hangs over him. He seemed to be in a very
cheerful mood. Prison life seems to agree
with him immensey. With his long beard
and fat cheeks one would hardly know he
was the same man who was lodged in jail
the night following the inquest at Irish
Creek. On his taole were noticed Toronto
dailies, a Bible and several other books.

FLOGGING AT TUE CENTRAL.
The Cowboy Evangelist Lashed for a Beastly
Offence.
Yesterday morning at the Central Prison
the officials performed the unpleasant duty
of inflicting ten lashes upon the naked beak
of George W. Roberts, the cowboy evan-
gelist who, on December 24th last, was
sentenced to one year's imprisonmeut and
ten lashes at the end of the first month of
his incarceration. Dr. Airdrie, the prison
surgeon, pronounced the prisoner physoi-
cally able to undergo kis punishment at
10.30, and soon afterwards he was placed
in the whipping frame. His countenance
was pale but his demeanor resolute. He
withstood the first two strokes with com-
parative resignation, but after them he
howled and squirmed continually, and at
the coachision of the operation his back
'was one mass of red, livid flesh. Since his
imprisonment Roberts has been working in
the woodwork department.

barrow. Yours truly,
EDWARD DONrTELLY,
No. 71 Moravia street, Aubvrn, N. Y.
Immediately on returning to Auburn ogr
reporter celled at the above address a.nd
found Mr. Donnelly out in a barn, where he
was grinding apples and making alder with
a hand press, and he seemed well and cheer-
ful and hwy.
Moravia street is one of the pleasantest
suburban :streets in Auburn, and. No. 71 is
about the last house on it before reaching
the open country, and nearly two miles
from the business eeatre of the city.
"-Why, yes," said Mr. Donnelly, "come
late the house; I will tell you all about my
ease, and how Pink Pills cured me, and
will be glad to do it and to have it printed
for the benfit of others, for I am sure I owe
• my restoration to health and happiness
wholly to those simple but wonderful pills."
And then in the presence of his wife and
Mrs. Corry and Mrs. Taylor, who all con-
firmed his statement, he told your corres-
pondent the story of his sickness and of his
reiteration to health by the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
" I was born in AlbanyP • I N. Y and am
42 years old. The greatest portion of ray
life I have lived in New York city. I was
general foreman there of the F. A. Mulgrew
Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street, on the
Beat River. It was on the 29th day of
April, 1889, that the boy. fell into the river
and I rescued him from drowning, but in
saving his life I contracted a disease which
nearly cost me my own. Why, sir, I em
sure I should have died long ago if Pink
Pills had not saved my life, and I wouldn t
have cared then for my sufferings were so
great that death would have been a blessed
relief; but now, thank God, I am a well
man again and free from pain and able tobe
happy.
d- Yon see when I saved the boy I was in
the water so long that I was taken with a
deathly chill and soon became so stiffened
up and weak that I could neither work nor
walk. For some time I was under treat-
ment of Dr. McDonald. He finally said he
could do nothing more for me and that I
had better go into the country. On the 1st
oiled June (1892) my wife and I came up
bo Auburn. I was then in great pain,
ahnost helplesa the disease was growing
upon me and I felt that I bad come to the
home of my wife and of her sister to die.
"When the disease first came upon me
the numbness began in my heels and pretty
soon the whole of both my feet became
affected. There was a cold feeling across
the small of my back and downwards and a
sense of soreness and a tight pressure On the
chest. The numbness gradually extended
up both legs and into the lowest part of my
body. I felt that death was creeping up to
my vitals, and I must say I longed for the
hour when it should relieve me of rny pain
and misery. I was still taking the medi-
cine ("It was Iodide of Potassium " said
his wife) and, was being rubbed andhaving
plasters put all over my- body, but with no
benefit,.
"The latter part of last June I read of
a case similar to mine cured by the use of
Dr. William' Pink Pills for Pale People.
I had never heard of those blessed Pills
before, hut I thought if they could cure
another cute of the same disease with which
I Was afflicted, perho,pas they would also
cure me. So I sent and got throe boxes of
the Pink Pills and began taking them at
once'following all the directions closely,
In afew weeks time I was so improved that
from being helpless, I was able to help my-
self and to get up and go to work and to
walk every day frout No. 74 Walnut street,
where I then lived, M Oaborne'sNew Twine
• Factory, Seymour and Cottage streets-
• (more than a mile) where I was then em-
ployed, but all the while I was taking Pink
Pli'laThen Dr. Potchin, of Wiecoiasin, uncle
of my wife, end who was here on a visit,
began to pooh-pooh at me for taking Pink
Pills, and finally persuaded me to stop
taking them and to let him treat me.
When he returned to the West he left a
prescription with Dr. Hyde, of Auburn,
who able treated ate. But their treatmenb
did me no good, and after a while the old
trouble relearned, and I was getting bad
again. Then I began again to take Pink
Pilis; have taken in all nearly 20 boxes, at
an entire cost of less then 4$10 (my other
treatment cost me a pile of money), and
again lain well and able to work.
" InNeve York Dr. McDonald raid my
disease was Locomotor Ataxia. He treated
me by striking me on the knees without
lying me pain; by having me try to walk
sQbbb my twee closed by trying to stand
firs n one foot and then on the other, but
con Aet do it, and so after a While he
said t had Locomotor Ataxia and was in-
curable, and that I had better go into the
eountry among my friends who would make
the few' rememing days of my life as com-
fortable as ossible and give me kind at-
tendance. Well I came, or rather Wail
brought from ITety York into the country,
but Metaled of dying, I am a well man,
nearly OA web asi eve t before in My life.
Pink Pills did it. If I was able I would, at
ity own expense, publish the virtues of Dr.
Eiink Pills to the whole world
and especitelly in New 'York City, where I
am much bietter irnottrn than Iona here."
" Another thieg," seid Mr. Donnelly,

1SEST FOR ADVERTISING.
The Evening Daily the Paper That is Beat&
--the Doming raper Thrown Away.
As to the relative results of advertising
in morning and evening newspapers, muck
of course depends upon the nature of the
thieve advertised, though not so much as
some zealous publishers would have ua
believe. In my opinion, the evening news-
paper, if it is not at present, will be in the
near future the prefeiable medium. The
reasons are quite obvioue. The morning
paper is picked up by the business man and
read hurriedly. He skims over the foreign;
despatches and looal news, posts himself omz
the condition of the market, as he sips his
coffee, and then throws the pape,r
down. He has no time to read ad-
vertisements. In the afternoon, after
btisincss closes for the day, it is quite dif-
ferent., He buys an evening paper and
leieurely reads it as he rides home. Noth
• ing requires him to give the sheet a break-
neck speed pernsaL He deliberately reada

so oe. In other words evening newspeperse
are as it rule more thoroughly ree,d and
