xo Disnoxoa to bb an old maid
IWKlTIijr FOB THE OI9PATCIL1
Young men shrink mors and more from,
marriage, said an observant society woman
In talking upon the subject. In the days of
onr grandfathers men married as the proper
thing to do. In a wife they found a com
paniou an able helper in getting along in
the world and a partner in the founding
of a home, who would enhance their joys
and share their sorrows. Girls were brought
up to be wives, and boys to be husbands.
To begin in modest style and work up by
economy and thrift to ease and competence
was the rule.
But now with the increase of what the
grandfathers and grandmothers would haro
deemed luzuries onlr for the rich, but
which are now considered necessities, the
question of marriage Jecomes a much more
serious matter. The young man now, who
is not a fool, looks ahead and considers the
cost. The young girl now, who is sensible,
weighs her capacity for self-sacrifice and
takes thought as to whether love is strong
enough to make "drudgery divine," and
whether it will hare power to furnish in
spiration and sufficient courage to enable
her to serve aud labor all her life long for
better or for worse with board and clothes
only thrown in. A man who is meditating
upon matrimony, and has about reached the
conclusion that the happiest condition of
life will be found in a horn of his own with
the girl of his heart, will, if he is wise, not
rush into his anticipated bliss blindly
Trusting to ni Lacky Stars,
or putting full faith in the pious maxim
that "The Lord will provide," but he will
prudently take thought of the risks and re
sponsibilities he proposes to assume, and
'levoted himself to saving enough money
to go to housekeeping without hanging a
millstone of debt aronnd his neck. He will
not want to have his house decorated with a
mortgage, nor have his dreams disturbed
by vis-ions of the sheriff and foreclosure.
He will be anxious to guard against poverty
coming in at the door, while love flies out
of the window. 'With all his happy
dreams, his fond imaginings, his castles in
the air, he yet has sense enough to remem
ber that the cares of the world, and house
rent, and taxes, and bread and butter are
real and tangible things that come
home to the happiest, and that love is
not proof against poverty, nor is it accepted
as security for the "almighty dollar."
The prudent man moreover will bo care
ful in the choice of a companion for life.
Addison says that "marriage enlarges the
scene of our happiness and miseries. A
msfTiage of love is pleasant, a marriage
of interest, easy; and a marriage where both
nee-, happy. A happy marriage has in it
nil the pleasures of friendship, all the en
joyments or sense and reason, and indeed all
the sweets of life." Addison himself made
a miss of it in his own marriage at an age
when prudence and philosophy might both
have been supposed to have governed his
actions. With all bis brains and wisdom
"his marriage was a great mistake," say
those who knew him, which only goes to
add one more fact to prove Carlyle's asser
tion that the majority of men are fools or
words to that effect and the saying of
another wise man that "as a rule men are
bigger fools in matters pertaining to love
than women."
Love 3Iakes Men Blooming Idiots.
It is hardly necessary to stop to show the
proofs of this as furnished bv a cloud of
witnesses. Everybody knows that when a
man is deeply, madly in love he usually
publishes himself as a "blooming idiot" for
the time being. His friends may use their
utmost endeavors to hammer prudence into
his head, but without avail. They may
preach the doctrine of delay until his means
and his prospects will justify his assump
tion of the responsibilities of marriage, but
no! he is in love, he wants to get married at
once without let or hindrance, even if he
has to borrow the money to buy his clothes
and pay the preacher. When he is very far
cone, he becomes so sentimentally silly that
his love t-eenis sheer madness, and nothing
will bring him to his senses nntil the illu
sion is dispelled by the disenchantment! of
prosaic, everv-day married life.
It may be because preachers have more
trust in Providence, but it does not seem as
if they were more given to making what the
wo '-d calls improvident marriages than any
ether class of men, who are supposed to be
gifted with common sense. In one of the
goody-goody novels that are imagined to be
particularly fitted for the Sunday school li
brary, the young minister about to take
charge of his first church insists "upon be
ingmjrried at once." He talks it over
with bis best beloved, and by the arguments
and reasons of a red-hot plover gains her
consent. He then addresses himself to the
domestic powers that be. "Clara get mar
ried, indeed," Eaid the wise elder sister.
yWhv, sir," she said, warmly, "this child
isn't fit to take care of vou for a year at
least. She has never made a loaf of bread.
She knows nothing ot how to get up a de
cent dinner She is vrhollv ignorant as to
the mysteries of starch andirons. She can
make a little cake, but to roast, to broil, to
make pics or manage a kitchen she has
never learned. She is just out of school,
and needs at least a year cf practice to be
come a housekeeper.
Bow It Ended In the NotpL
But so dead in love was that clergyman
that nothing could induce him to wait even
a month. Out of the depths of his wisdom
he replied: "Ob, Clara will take up those
things by instinct. I havi no fear of her,
and so willing to take the risk."
"Well, they were married inside of two
weeks, and the whole book is full of the
trials ana tribulations that resulted from
the ignorance of both. The salary of the
minister was S500. On the strength of this,
he bought a house and expected to save
J100 a year to make his payments. But
with theirmost strenuous efforts, they could
not make both ends meet, let alone save
anything. The congregation as congrega
tions will talked over their pastor's
domctic aflairs. They "nebbed in" and
discoursed ith sighs upon the shortcom
ings of the minister's wife. They pitied
their preacher in that his wife was extrava
gant. Instead of laying by a provision for
the proverbial rainy day, the young couple
got more and more deeply "in debt and
black books. The worries and dis
couragements preyed upon the preacher's
mind and his se mons fell off, and all through
the book everything went wrong. Instead
of setting down their misfortunes to their
own lack of prudence, they imputed them
all to Providence nho sent "cares like a
wild deluge" and "storms of mhtcw" as
trials of their faith that is in public. In
the privacy of their own thoughts, there can
be no doubt that they wished they had not
been so headstrong aud foolish, and that
they bad listened to their advisers, who ad
vocated delay. This, however, is not the
ostensible moral of the bock.
Celibacy Is More Fashionable.
Bnt the world it appears is waxing wiser.
Celibacy is coming into fashion. Modern
young men and women do not fall in love so
desperately as to rush Into marriage regard
less of consequences. With the advance of
intelligence, they are now more disposed
than ever to give the subject careful consid
eration. Modern society gives no counten
ance to love in a cottage, and takes but little
stock in sentiment. The Blue Book of New
York shows more bachelors than married
men in the ranks of blue blood and money.
Marriage is decried as loo expensive by the
members of fashionable clubs, and when one
of their number does fall in love, with s
wedding as the climax, it is the proper
.thing, as to style, for his friends to go info
mourning.
Celibacy,in the early days of Christianity,
was esteemed a great virtue. It was upheld
by the apostles and holy fathers as a mark
of superior holiness. On the authority of the
Scriptures celibacy was held by the church
to be the gennine condition of a Christian,
and those of both sexes who chose a single
life took higher rank from a religious point
of view than those who married. In those
primitive times the first marriage of a cler
gyman might be barely tolerated, bnt a sec
ond marriage was prohibited. St. Paul, it
will be remembered, was opposed to mar
riage first, last and all the time, and be es
pecially urged widowers, even among the
laity, to refrain from marrying a second
time. The church, as it grew in power, be
came more determined to enforce celibacy
upon the clergy, and, nhile meeting strong
resistance for centuries, the Roman branch
finally succeeded in this object, while the
Greek church compromised on the conces
sion that a priest might marry, but he never,
as a married man, could reach the rank of
Bishop or other high dignities among the
lords spiritual. Pope Gregory VII. put
the final touches of enforcement upon the
law of celibacy for the clergy by a decree to
the, effect that every layman woo should re
ceive communion from the hands of a mar
ried priest should be excommunicated, and
that every priest who married should be de
posed. Celibacy Best for Clergymen.
Inther is said to have married more to
spite the Pope than through love of Catha
rine Von Bora. Whether this be true or
not, he set the example for the Protestant
clergy to marry, although he had asserted a
short time before that though "the Witten
berg people are for giving wives to the
monks tbey shall not force one upon me.
I will not be caught in the snare." But
though since the Reformation marriage
among Protestant clergymen has been the
rule, the idea is gaining ground with many
people that celibacr is the best condition
for a clergyman. "Vythout a wife and fam--ily
to distract bis mind, they say, he could
give his whole time and attention to
his holy call'ng. Others urge that
a wife in many cases des'roys his
usefulness by becoming a cause of conten
tion in the church. Bv other critics
it is held that when a minister who is but
rarely paid well enough to relieve him
from pecuniary worries marries he gets
his nose upon the grindstone, becomes ab
sorbed in domestic troubles, loses the cheer
fulness "that most becomes Christian, and
fails in the spiritual power and eloquence
that build up the church by drawing the
multitude. Others contend "that too many
ministers .wives are like Mrs. Proudie, who
got her fingers into all the ecclesiastical
Eies by virtue of her powers as bishop be
ind the scenes.
But on whatever ground the argument is
put, it is true that an unmarried clergyman
is preferred by many. If he must marry,
they say, he should have sense enongh to
put it ofl until years of discretion prompt
him to let his affections fall upon a woman
with money enongh to insure him a "good
living," and avoid any necessity for dona
tion parties or charitable gifts of new suits
anu new cats.
Count Tolstoi and HU Philosophy.
Celibacy as a rule of life, and the effect of
rejection of marriage as a religious prin
ciple may be seen in such communities as
that of Economy. The race under such law
would in course of time die out But Tol
stoi in defense of his "Kreutzer Sonata"
maintains that this would not be an evil.
He claims that as the msiorif v of nunVinJ
are elected to damnation it would as Ar
temus Wlrd used to put it be money in
most men's pockets not to be born at all.
Socty and lashionable people do not, of
course, concern themselves with the re
ligious view of the matter ot celibacy. Their
pointis that men. at least, can have a better
time in the world by not sacrificing them
selves to love. The statement is made that
it requires close figuring for a bachelor,
with his name in the Blue Book of New
York, to live on an income of 10,000 a

year in manner befittinghis necessities
and his social standing. Tills being the
case,he adopts the Economy idea of oelibioy
not as a matter of Christian principle, but
rather as an aroidsnee of self sacrifice, bases
it upon more sentimental grounds, but that
is the gist of it. He may fore a woman to
distraction, but is he, for his own happi
ness, to impose upon her poverty, to doom
her to drudgery, to consign her to obscur
ity? Not he) Perish the thought Sinoe
fortune has denied him the millions neces
sary to make married life baopy, he must
remain a bachelor, and find his warmest
welcome nnd coziest comfort at "the club."
But while this tendency toward celibacy
is growing among the men of publio society,
it is no less increasing among independent
women. In days agone women had only
one career that of marriage. To be an "old
maid" was a rnark of dishonor. The one
who bore such title was a subject for deris
ion. She was a failure in lite, in that she
had secured the favor of no man as a bus
band. Independent Women Get the Honor.
But this reproach is dying out. The
woman now who can support herself inde
pendently receives all due honor. It is
hardly now considered to be a credit to a
woman to be a rich man's pampered doll, or
a poor man's slave. The honor goes to the
woman who can strikeout for herself, and
achieve success in the pursuit for which she
has talent and ability. The capacity of
women can never be measured or tuny de
veloped until, like men, she has freedom
and a fair field to show it without reproach
or hindrance, Domestio pursuits will be
mainly the sphere of married women, but
"the girls," with a choice as to marriaee or
celibacy, have the world before them. They
need no longer dread being compelled "to
pick np the orooked stick at last."
"The most favored women on earth are
the widows of rich men whose capacity for
enjoyment has not been crushed out by an
early life of hard work and short commons,"
aid a lady at a dinner party. "Next to
them, if you talk abont good times," she
continued, "are those whose talenti enable
them to be independent who have no
crank of a husband to say come, and she
cometh, or to say go, and she goeth in meek
submission."
To such women celibacy recommends
itself as a condition of life only to be
changed by a love that promises the highest
ubppiucbs ui cxisbcuoe. ju oiuea limes.
when celibacy was held in high favor as a
superior condition of life, coercive measures
were adopted to tax the bachelors into mat
rimony for the benefit of the State, but
when in the good days coming marriage
reaches its ideal conditions celibacy,
whether enforced by self-sacrifice, religious
scruples, ecclesiastical laws or decree of
fashion, will become a matter of second
rate bliss1 and a condition short of the high

Stowe Hands Down an Important
Street Eailway Decision.
COLLEGES FIGHTING FOR A NAME.
Tipstaves and Stenographer Appointed in
Common Fleas No, 3.
YESTERDAY Iff TAB -COUNTY COUBTS
Jndge Stowe yesterday handed down an
opinion in the ease of the P. E. B. Co.,
against the Braddock Electrlo Railway
Company. The writ was brought for an in
junction to restrain the Electric railway
from crossing the P. R. R. tracks at grade.
Jndge Stowe, in his opinion, said that he
regretted that he had no power in this case
to prevent the street railway from crossing
the plaintiff's road at grade. But the act of
1889, under which the defendant company
is chartered, was too plain for argument.
The right of all such railroads to erossat
grade is absolute, but the qnsstion of
whether and how far courts may ex
tend tholr equitable jurisdiction for the
protection of the public, in regulating the
use of the crossing, still remains.
After reviewing Supreme Court decisions
and acts of Assembly, Judge Stowe held
that while the court could not prevent the
defendants from crossing at grade, It had
the power to impose such regulations, look
ing to the safety of the pnblio, in reference
to watchmen, manner of crossing plaintiffs'
tracks and such other mattsrs necessary to
render the use of the crossing least danger
ous to life and property.
To this end a preliminary Injunction was
granted restraining the defendants from
crossing at grade nntil by sufficient evi
dence furnished to the court it may be in
formed as to the safest and best manner of
regulating and guarding the said crossing
from danger as far as may be practicable.

PIQHTIHQ FOB A HAKE.
The Western University Opposing; a Char
ter for the Daqacsne College.
A hearing was had before Judges Kenne
dy and Porter yesterday In the matter of
the application for a charter for the
Duquesne College. The application was
opposed by the Western University, the
officials of which claim that they own that
name. At the hearing yesterday T. D.
Carnahan, Esq., appeared in behalf of the
Western University in opposition to the
granting of the charter. Mr. Carnahan
first commenced to pick out flaws, in the
application. He said that the most
important one was, the application
did not set forth, as required
by the act of Assembly, whether or not the
proposed corporation 'was founded for the
purpose of profit or not. He also objected
to the general power of granting degrees
conferred on the proposed college. Under
the proposed charter they could give a med
ical diploma to a graduate, though they had
no medical course. As to the name of the
college, he said it belonged to the Western
University, the Duquesne College, a char
tered institution, having been merged into
the Western University a number of years
ago, but still retaining its charter.
F. X. Barr, Esq., in behalf of applicants,
said that as to the objection because of
not stating whether or not the proposed
corporation was for profits could be over
come by emending the application to make
it read that it was not for profits. It had
not beeu inserted because it was not cus
tomary as to colleges. As to the matter of
conferring degrees, it was the intention to
do so only with their graduates and for the
courses in the college. It was ridiculous to
speak of granting medical diplomas when
they had no medical course. In regard lo
the name, "Duquesne College," he consid
ered that the merging of the old college in
to the Western University and the disuse
of the name for so many years rendered
void any claim that could be made to it,
and the old charter, he asserted, was dead.
At the conclusion of the argument the
Court took the papers and reserved a de
cision. The case will likely go to the
Supreme Court.
