March 7.—President CHICAGO, March 7.—Colleges of courtship for the reform of American love making are needed to lit the love- born population of the nation for ma trimony. according to Prof. Charles E. Henderson, the University of Chi cago Sociologist. In an article on “Courtship” in the current Biblical World. Issued from the university press yesterday, the professor urges expert Instruction for those who are smitten with the illusions of love. Hasty marriages, divorce and mar riages of convenience are classed as results of the “barbarism” into which courtship and marriage have fallen. Fashionable society, he declares, ex hibits depraved standards and alimony is accepted as a substitute for ra tional marriages. Prof. Henderson points out as par ticular evils of modern love-making such perils as flirting, boasting of con quests. extravagance, accepting costly presents, ignorance of the training of children and courtship without intent to marry.

The-market started with an aggressive reassortlon of bear tactll-. which forced n violent reaction In Reading Itself and a severe decline In Canadian Pacific. Al most immediately prices rebounded to a level well above last night. These move ments decided the uncertainty of the speculative temper Car the whole of tho remainder of the day. The impressive dealings which have been going on In Reading remain a mystery. The liquida tion in Southern Railway and Erie was so pronounced and of so ominous a char acter as to throw the balance of the whole market for the time to the side of depression. Southern Railway's report of a decline in net earnings for January of nearly 40 per cent gave point to the expressed fears for the reduction or the passing of the dividend on the preferred stock. On the other hand, there was a steady absorption of the IJarriman, Hill nnd principal trunk line stocks.

Douglas Held Lincoln's Hat. Describing Lincoln’s first inaugura tion In his "Reminiscences" in -the March McClure’s. Carl Schurz says: “I was favored with a place in front of the great portico of the Capitol from which I could 'distinctly see and hear every part of the official function. I saw Lincoln step forward to the desk upon which the Bible lay—his rugged face, appearing above all those sur rounding him, calm and sad, but so unlike any other in that distinguished assemblage that one might well have doubted how he and the others could work together. “I saw Senator Douglas, his defeated antagonist, the 'little giant’ of the past, who only two years before had haught ily treated Lincoln like a tall dwarf, standing close by him. I witnessed the remarkable scene when Lincoln, about to deliver his inaugural address, could not at' once find a convenient place for his hat. and Douglas took it and held it like an attendant while Lincoln was speaking. “I saw the withered form of Chief i Justice Tawney. the author of the fa- ; mous Dred Scott decision, that judicial i corr.pend of the doctrine of slavery, ad minister the oath of office to the first President elected on a distinct anti- slavery platform. I saw standing by the outgoing President, James Buch anan with his head slightly inclined on one side, and his winking eye and his white neckcloth—the man who had Worked Like a Charm. Mr. D. N.

FATHER OF DEAD BOY PLEADS FOR HIS SLAYER NO COOLIE LABOR FOR PANAMA CANAL. NEW YORK. March 7.—Adam ! Brown was exonerated today by the I coroner’s jury that investigated' the j death of Jno. A. Mason, who died as a j result of a blow received while box- ■ ing with Brown at the St. Earthoio- ; rri« athletic Club rooms on the night I of February 1. One of the two wit- ! nesses at the inquest was Richard F. Mason, father of the dead boy-. He addressed the coroner’s jury, saying that he was present at the bout and was satisfied that the blow that killed his son was an accidental' one. The father asked the Jury to return a ver dict to that effect. and demoralize the National Govern- I ment and to encourage the rebellion, now destined to retire to an unhonored obscurity and to the dreary task cf trying to make the world believe he was a better patriot and statesman than he appeared. “I heard every word pronounced by Abraham Lincoln's kindly voice, of that inaugural address which was to be a message of peace and good will, but the reception of which in the South as a proclamation of war showed clearly that no offer of compromise, in deed. that nothing short of complete acceptance of their scheme of an inde pendent slave-holding empire, would have satisfied the Southern leaders.” Owls as Pots. From the Rosary Magazine. Among the many bird pets I havo owned at different times owls have al ways been my favorites. At present I have three tawny owls, which I have reared from the nest. Two I took from an old hawk's nest and one from a hole in the wall of a tumble-down cot tage. They have been brought up in com pany with several’other bird pete, mag pies, jackdaws and hawks, and when quite young it was an' exceedingly pretty sight to see them all together on a perch, the owls watching the pro ceedings of the “Jack” ami rr, lgpies with an air of absorbing interest. Sometimes a “jack” would fly up to the perch and rive one ,.f •:>. t, a friendly dig with his beak—as though he wanted to say: “Wake up. old fel low!” Whereupon the owl would proceed with great gravity to comb the d; ; - turber's plumage with beak and claw, occasionally pausing during the opera tion to survey his work out of a half- open eye. "jack." the while winking *t his mates below with the air of: “It's all right: it pleases tho old duffer.” Ram owls, also, T have domesti cated, and have found them v rv amusing pets. I had one which would fly down in broad daylight from his cage, and catch a live mouse, and 1 .-ok again, to make a meal of It. swallow!' g It whole by a succession of fearful gulps. I have seen him swallow three- in succession, and have no doubt that had ' he been offered a fourth he would have been equal to the occassion.

The approximate cost of the It nels now burrowing their way und- waters surrounding Manhattan Island is stated to be $200 009.000. or about one- fifth of a billion dollars. They are built for one purpose only—to save time. It is estimated that at least a million people go in and out of Manhattan every day. At the average of 25 cents an hour in value, this will mean a saving of $62,500 a das', or $23,000,000 a year. The construction nf these tunnels con stitute one of the most notable engineer ing achievements of the age, not less costly and difficult in execution lian the Panama Canal, though not the occasion of domestic or international agitation. TH» U*e of Public Lands. From the Kansas city Times. The nronosal of the Senate committee on public lands to turn over to the Agri cultural Department the unappropriated Government lands to be leased'for craz ing purposes Is a stood one. There Is no rc-nson why these lands should not be of some benefit to the peon!" in the vicinity of thei- location. As It Is now thev arc generally appropriated by the big cattle and sheep owners and used In defiance of th" Government. If a leasing Svstrm shall be put Into effect the Federal offi cials will have - better opportunity to control thpfr use. and some revenue would be derived from them besides. No law however, should interfere with the unre stricted right of homestead entries. No man Is quite as necessary to the develop, ment of the West ns the one who is win ing to take 160 acres of uncultivated lar.d umn it into a garden spot and there make his home.

CONFEDERATES IN THE SENATE. Mr. Berry, of Arkansas, and Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, who havo just retired from the Senate to give place to new and younger men. were both X'oterans of the war of 1S61-5, and bath have served fn the upper bouse for twenty-two years. It is common to speak of the men who fought the war as of a generation that is gone, but Senators Berry and Blackburn are not the anlv Confeder ate veterans found in the United States Senate In our time. There arc nine others who will go over to the Six tieth Congress. These are Senators Money and McLaurin, of Mississippi, Senator Bacon, of Georgia. Senator McEnery, of Louisiana Senators Daniel and Martin, of Virginia. Senator McCreery, of Tennessee, and Senators Morgan and Pettus, of Alabama. The last named—the grandest old Roman of them all—is not only a vet eran of the war of secession, but was an officer in tile Mexican War. He was active not only in the day of our fathers, but of our grandfathers as well. Well may the children of this day of nerve-wrecking quest of the dollar, and the feverish chase of pleas ure. ask this wonderful old man what meat he feeds on. Hardly shall we see his like again, for he is a product of » simpler and healthier age.
