John E Igar Gardner, to get his picture in print, shot his young wife and then killed himself at Binghamton. Gardner was sixty years old, his wife twenty-nine. They bad been m arried but a short time and were living apart on account of his bad bwhits. He called at the house a few days ago and asked her to come out as lie was going West. She declined and lie forced his way into her apartm ents, drew a revolver and shot her twice, one bullet ; passing through her arm, the other enter- i ing her side. The woman was able to ge‘ j from the house to a neighbor’s. When th i patrol wagon, loaded with officers, arrived, 1 Gardner walked to the centre of a roon . i in full view of the officers, and, placing the gun to his head, killed himself. Tbe I authorities trace the double crime \^'.ely | to the desire of the dead man to perfotm i some deed that would warrant the publici- 1 Uou of his picture In the newspapers. 4AMUEL F.

A Stmiige Russian Custom. If n Russian girl wishes to study at any of tho universities which now admit women, etiquette does not, says a writer iu the G irl’s Realm, allow’ her to do so until she is m arried, so she goes through the civil ceremony of m arriage with a man student, whom probably she has never seen before, and this match is quite legal, though, perhaps, they may never speak to each other again. On tho other hand, if they like each other, aud wish it, they are married for life; if they don’t, the marriage is dissolved when their university coarse is run, and they are free to m arry some one else. The celebrated m athematician, Son ya Kovateski, whose autobiography attracted so much notice a few years ago, au*! who was as phenomenal n Russian girl as Maria Bashkirtseff, went through one of these marriage ceremonies with a student whom she then saw for the first time, aud whe afterw ard became her husband.
