Sue roUiry I.nninr mill Ills llpurglii PHncm—A Kouintice Braun In Childhood Finds Its Cul mination In thr Autumn or Lift.. Washington Post. There is no doubt now that Secretary Lamar is going to be married. Those who are most intimately associated with him in office believe it; his personal friends are sure of it; the ladies who are best ac quainted in his fumily circle assert it, and in Washington society it is generally ac cepted. The lady who is to be Mrs. Lamar has many friends and correspondents in Washington. They all talk about it freely as a settled affair. The date of the wed ding is still a matter of conjecture, but all expect that it will be within a few weeks. None suppose that it is more than two months distant. Those who seem best able to judge believe that the date will be some time in November, probably in the latter part of the month. About the mid dle oi November the secretary will have his annual report completed and off his hands, after which for some time the cares of ofliee will not weigh so heavily upon tiie minds of cabinet ministers. All ac counts agree in attributing to the lady those qualities of person and mind which will adorn even the high social position of a cabinet minister’s wife. She is s lid to be both beautiful and highly accomplished, iri manners charming and intellectually brilliant. Some say she is rich, too. Enthusiastic Georgians say that she is one of those magnificent middle-aged women to be found only in the southern states, and in such perfection rarely even there. Like the secretary, she has been married before. She has a daughter married, and her son-in-law has paid several visits to the secretary in Washing ton lately. Among some southern ladies in this city who were discussing the coming event the other night, there was one who suid that a year ago Mr. Lamar did not make any secret (among his intimate friends) of the fact that he had popped the question and that the lady lingered. All the others declared that that was no news to them. But now it was known through the same channels that the lady no longer lingered; that she had consented. It is asserted also that this is not the first engagement contracted be tween Mr. Lamar and the Ge irgia lady. That the nair loved each other ever so LIGHT FOR THE BIG STATUE. , , , ,r . i governor lost no time in preliminary platitudes, but plunged at once into his subject, and he had not gone very far when it became manifest that he had not come empty- handed. He began by recalling the fact that the democratic party in the last presi- dential campaign had prumisodthe people to reform republican abuses in case of its elevation to power, and then went on to show the progress it has made in redeem ing that promise. Among other things be said, since Mr. Cleveland’s inauguration there has been reclaimer! to the govern- ment lands from railroad corporations ecpial in area to the states of Ohio and In diana. These lands had been lavished by the republican party upon corporations that did not scruple at gross violations of the conditions upon which the lands had been granted, and the republican administra tions had shut their eyes to these broken pledges. But President Cleveland and the democratic party had “opened the books’’ and put a stop to this species of robbery, and forced the robbers to return their plunder. CIVIL, SERVICE REFORM. The democratic party has been abused Ijy the republicans unmercifully because republican office-holders are being turne d out of office and democrats put in their places. “Why,” sakl the governor, with a merry twinkle of the eye, “what is that but civil service reform?” This brought down the house in a tempest of applause. How is one administration going to re form the abases of another without getting full control of the government? That is the way the republican party began its administration oftne government when it first came into power, and it kept it up for twenty-four years, rigidly excluding demo crats from office and keeping republicans In; and now, because these leeches don’t want to let go, President Cleveland is abused when lie squeezes some of them loose and replaces them with democrats. Wc promised to “turn the rascals out," and we must fulfill that promise. Another storm of applause followed this declara tion. PENSION BILLS. President Cleveland has deemed it his duty to veto a few of the many pension bills passed by congress, and for that he is abused by republicans. Every individual bill vetoed is paraded before' the public, but no credit given for the many signed by him. Some of the.se vetoed bills were rejected by republican committees in con gress before President Cleveland’s elec tion, and now, because the president thinks it his duty to veto them, there is a hue and cry raised against him by the re publican party. The governor made a thorough review of the administration and the democratic party since President Cleveland’s inauguration, completely vin dicating its course, but time forbids a re port in full. INDIANA POLITICS. If the governor was successful in han dling national questions, he was doubly so in handling questions pertaining to his ■own state. He paid his respects to Senator Harrison in a manner that was nono the less crushing because it was scrupulously courteous. Tie disposed of the senator’s complaint of disfranchisement by the al leged gerrymander of the congressional districts by showing how the republicans : much when, as merry little boy and pretty gerrymander a state wherever they have ] little girl, they skipped together about ■control of state governments. He cited a ! their native village in Georgia, is a tale number of republican states in which a i old enough for the school books; but that larger percentage of democrats are dis-I :l matrimonial engagement existed Oe- franehised than republicans in the disfr.ui- j tween them while the maid was barely cbised districts of Indiana. Then he re-I sweet sixteen, and before the bright ferred to the senator’s position on the bojj had attained his majority is not gen- liquor question. The senator begged the temperance republicans to wait till they came to erally known, but within that select circle of southern ladies, where so much inside i knowledge of Georgian society seems to i be concentrated, such is said to be the fact. | The people on this end of the line claim to have observed a very discreet silence about the whole affair, which is now likely to culminate soon in the happy union of two devoted souls so long separated by an “THE FORKS OF THE ROAD” Before they pressed that question upon the people, and that meant until after his re-election to the United States senate. The distinguished senator can well afford to let his constituents fight it out among , misunde rstanding- a iiother ratiflea- tbemselves after he gets re-elected the >”{“*•' fth , , nrnv „ r h “Rutter Into than Of/M-Ira r.f I.ha that I tlon ot tile old provero, Boner late tnan never. From this circle comes the whisper: “When the secretary went to Macon, Ga., a year ago, we knew what lie went for, but we never mentioned it to anybody.” The first intimation of the coming event was ‘forks of the road” are bsyond that point. There is no dodging or squirming among democrats on the temperance question. They are opposed to prohibition and in favor of license, and don’t deny it. Which of these two positions is the most manly ? BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS. These were in the hands of the demo crats, just as they had been in the hands of the republicans when they had control of them—with this difference: The demo crats have curtailed expenses and im proved the condition of things in all of them. Indiana is a democratic state, and democrats have a right to be at the head ofitinullits departments. The speech, of two hours’ duration, was listened to given in a Georgian newspaper at the time of the secretary’s visit last year, which now appears to have been a premature publica tion; but the Georgia newspaper man ap parently got on the right track, if ho failed to sufficiently consider the proverbial diffi culty of winning a fascinating widow. Everything takes time, but it is now gen erally, almost universally, believed and ad mitted that Secretary Lamar has succeed ed. In fact, next to the president himself, with the most profound attention through- j,c is regarded as the most successful mem out. The governor was twice interrupted] ber of the administration, by republicans, who pvt questions to him all of which he answered kindly, but the anxious inquirers appeared to be satisfied with the answers. There was not one word of abuse of anybody throughout the entire speech, and everybody seemed highly gratified by listening to it. The governor goes to Vincennes to-day. A ROMANCE OF THE MEXICAN WAR.

The work of laying the foundation for the electrical plant which is to light the statue of liberty was begun yesterday. The vault in the northern angle of the parapet has been selected for the engine and boiler room. The bomb-proof recess adjoining the valt will be made use of for the dynamo machines and electric plant. A special elec trical machine, capable of operating twen ty lamps ofUOOOcandle-power each,has been presented to the committee by President Edwards II. Goff, of the American Elec tric Manufacturing Company. The dyna mos are being constructed specially for the lamps, each one of which has three times the power of the ordinary arc lights used about the city. A strongly insulated cable will enca-e the wires, which will prevent the mass of iron and bronze in the statue from disturbing the current, of electricity. The lamps will be self-feeding, with duplex carbon burners, and surrounded by globes of either plain or ground glass. The first plan of the committee was to have the lights inside the torch shining through lenses, set in the bronze. It is now decided to place eight of the UOOO candle-power lamps at equal intervals on the balcony that surrounds the torch, in the same fashion as those at Hell Gate. It is probable that reflectors will be placed behind each lamp to intensify the light. Pour of these lamps, with a combined power of 24,000 candles, will be visible from thirty to forty miles distant. The light will be the first seen by ocean steam ers approachiuir New York at night. Besides the eight lamps on the torch there will be four lamps of equal power at the base of the pedestal. These lamps will be placed behind the parapets, out of view from the water, for the purpose of lighting the outside of the statue. Power ful reflectors will be used to throw the light upon all sides of the statue so that it will be brilliantly illuminated from the top of tiie pedestal to the torch. By ob scuring the lights at the base of the pedes tal the outlines of t he statue will be clearly visible on the darkest nights. The iron staircase in the interior of the pedestal and the passageway up through the statue to the torch will be lighted by small in candescent lamps. The cost of the elec tric plant is between $5000 and $10,000, which is presented by President Golf, with all t he lamps, wires and necessary appli ances. The crowds of visitors to Liberty island have increased so recently that t he Jud, Field is unable to carry them all. Tiie committee have chartered the large side- wheel steamer Florence, which will begin running to-day. The Jud Field will leave tiie wharf next to the barge office on the even hours and the Florence on the half hours. WOMEN IN AFRICA. They I'uiut Themselves unit Put Their Girls In the (Irce-ilree It sli. Indianapolis Journal. Dr. Ralph St. John Perry, who went from this city to Africa several months ago, in a letter to a friend here, writes from Cape Mount, under date of June 20, about his experience in the dark conti nent: “Monrovia is built upon a bed of iron ore, part of which assays 90 per cent, of pure iron. The town contains 5000 peo- § le, five of whom are white. It has no rug stores, no library, no public halls, no barber shop, no saloons, no streets and very few fences. They nave no need for streets, as they have no horses or vehicles. The population is divided into three classes — the natives, or aborigines, the Liberians, or children born here of foreign parents, and the emigrants, or foreigners. The latter are on a par with those shipped to the United States of America from Europe —poor, ignorant and lazy. “The Kroos, a native tribe, were former ly the slave dealers of this coast. Every Ivroo man has a blue tattoo mark down the middle of his forehead, extending on down the nose. They cut their hair with bits of broken bottles, and cut it in all sorts of styles. Instead of tattooing, the women paint themselves from head to foot; it is no uncommon thing to see a girl with the Liberian flag painted on her forehead. Some of the women whose husbands or fathers work for Americans wear the United States flag, but nothing can induce them to wear the British flag, us they all hate Englishmen, and will have nothing to do with them. We use the money of five nations here—United States, English, Dutch. French and Liberian, and occa sionally a Spanish gold coin. “The girls, as soon as they are able to walk and talk, are put in the ‘gree-gree bush,’ a sort of convent, where they are instructed in their duties as women and wives. They are usually sold by their pa rents in marriage as soon as they are horn. If not sold they must remain in the ‘gree- gree bush’ until some one buys them. The old girls in the ‘bush’ instruct the new ones. A wife costs about #15. When the bidding takes place the bride comes with presents to the groom, and lie must give in return double us much as she brings. A man may have as many wives as he can pay for—in fact, they are the African branch of the Mormon church. The hoys are kept in the ‘gree-gree bush’ until of age, generally 14 years. Should one of either sex disclose the secrets of their ‘bush,’ or one be caught in the other's ‘bush,’ he or she is put to deatii publicly.” Woman's Host Friend. Chicago News. A hairpin is woman’s best friend. It fits a multiplicity of uses, and she is never without one. If her hair is short you can depend upon it that in a recess of her purse or pocket of her reticule, you will find the hairpin. If she buttons her shoes she uses her hairpin, and who ever saw a woman button her glove with anything else? If her head itches does she scratch it ? Non sense. She whips out her hairpin and re lieves herself. Suppose a nickel has dropped between the wooden grate in the streetcar? Does she soil her finger as a man would do and then not get it ? Certainly not. Out comes the hairpin and the coin is lifted without any trouble. If her shawl pin is lost, where so good a substitute as the hairpin? If.she eats a nut does she take a nut pick? Most assuredly not. The hairpin again. It is with the hairpin that she rips open the uncut leaves of a book or a magazine; it is with a hair pin she marks her progress in her fovorite book. If a trunk key is missing a hairpin opens the refractory lock as neatly as a burglar’s skeleton key would: with it she cleans her finger nails, and, if it is a clean one, even picks her teeth. And the feats of hair-securing that she will make a simple, bowlegged hairpin accomplish nearly surpasses flu* belief of man. Alto gether it deserves to be classed among the great inventions of the world, and the; grave of the original man who created the first one could have no prouder epitaph than this: “This is the kind of hairpin he was.” THp ‘American Abroad. Cleveland Leader. These antiquity stories have made many fine old paintings, and they do a great business with Americans. The Dutch mer chant who presided over the one above spoken of told me he had just sold about 8000 guilders, or over $3000 worth of goods to Robert Garrett, and that he made sales to Americans daily. l£e had great faith in American honesty, too, and when I ad mired a piece ot this same old Flemish lace and regretted that I had not the time to get money from the bank before leaving to purchase it, he doubled it up and told n e to take it along and send him the price at my leisure. “You can remit m<?,” said ho, “from Antwerp before you sail if you have time, or if more convenient, take it with you and send me the money when you got home to America.” uifc I said: “You don’t know me. I am a stranger here, and I leave Amsterdam this after noon. Saturday I sail for Now York. You have no security for your money.” “Give me your visiting card and your address and that is all I care for. I have often trusted Americans, and I am never de ceived.” An American merchant who did business in this way would be liable to im prisonment for lunacy.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Pro prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the consumers,as well ns relieving the; burden of home manufacturers. Es pecially is this the case with Green’s Au gust Flower and Bose bee’s German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cents size. The August Flower for ! Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the ! German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any : medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly ; appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in i every town and village in civilized coun tries.
