WHAT IS THE OBJECT?

A number of persons about Cape May raedved a card which either indirales that there Is a gambling within the city limits doing or else is aeot out with a spirit of mischief to create an impresaioa that such a thing exists. The card reads as follows: Cape May New Jersey The Hazard Club Cor. Oeean and Columbia Are Second Floor Over the Store Faro

MARRIAGES JN MEXICO. Th# Way They Are Arrengad and th* Way th* Lsvwre Meet. The average Mexican does uot think ef marriage until be baa at hla dlspoaal a sum more thau moderate. If be happens to belong to tbe higher strata Of society, nor nutll It le couaeuted to by the unanimous vote of every oo tbe member* of tbe fjuFty. Instance* ran be mentioned of two young persons who bare never met ewcli <•!her and In whose minds tbe Idea of malriu

and wife through the whim of their parents. It may be that tbs family of tbe bridegroom look* upon bis matrimonial union with a certain girl who may happen lo he Uu daughter of a magnate sa a means of avoiding bankruptcy. It may be tbit the father of the bride consider* her alliance with tbe so- -* a politician aa an adroit measur preventing tbe downfall of th* head of the house, or In point of trivial circumstances It may be that a marring* — brought about with the object of during the yearly tax by tbe father of the bridegroom or that of the bride. Tbe motive* given and those never given for the prearrangemeut of such alllancea vary according to conditions and are always In relation to tbe po*l-

The frequent brevity of tbe proceeding* In tbe arrangement of bridal tie* Is fortunately giving way to a m— liberal and conscientious behavior tbe part of parents toward their * and daughter*. Bnt It should also be added that tbe custom baa by no m disappeared, for cases of this nr could be counted by the score b most every city In tbe republic. When, with the knowledge or eent of their parents, two young sons become engaged the parish priest Is requested to call on the brlde'i thcr for the purpose of making known to him the designs of the bridegroom. A temporary objection at this point may practically upset tbe plans of young candidates to marriage, ar opposition of tbe father means a delay of two year* or more. During that period the affectionate lover parades tbe street night and day tn tbe hope of seeing bis sweetheart A thunderstorm would not be sufllritnt to drive him from his retreat ond balcony or near a telegraph pole. I have seen a lover talking to a pretty girl through an Iron barred window while a terrific rainstorm swept over tbe city with great fury ■» quietly naturally as If balmy spring weather had prevailed. But tbe Mexican lover enjoys tbs novelty of tbe affair, and. far from making any attempt to obtain permlssian to call on bit sweetheart tl own home, be la ready to undertake any task, however difficult. In order to speak to her alone, for a young lady la seldom allowed to receive men without st least two or three mamba the family being present. The general topics of conversation about extreme heat beautiful wei ' and the like are in such case* strictly tn order, and tbe suggretloo la n made to take “her" out for a stro a short drive. That would set bouse on fire. A moderately large bank account may enable tbe visitor to Invite her family to attend tbe opera, but this means that all chances for tbe exchange of amorous expressions be tween tbe lovers are lost, for It Is Mi duty to offer fats arm to "mother'* and wait upon her until their return from tbe theater, aside from securing seats for every member of tbe family, a times Inciod Ing the servants.—Modern Mexico. __ The president of France win hardly feel like criticising the officer* oi French naval reserve bee*use the aim of the rzs wrist who took a shot at him tbe other day was so strodoosly
