A MIsTAKE.-A terrible mistake some- times contains terrible truth. A couple went to the judges to be married. The judge had had sufficient experience in the practical details of matrimony, but felt little confused about the ceremony. So when the hopeful groom and timid bride had joined hands he said in an awful voice -" James, do you as a free citizen of this county, solemnly declare that you will forsake all other evils and cling to this one 2''

THE BooTs. s.-Two backwoodsmen were indu1ging 1n "reminiscences of the time when everything was cheap. "Why, " buy 16O acres of good farming land in the State of Texas for an old pair of boots." "Then why on earth didn't you purchase ?" retorted the other. The man with the long memory leisurely picked up live coal, deposited it in his clay pipe, gave two or three long puffs, and then slowly and conclusively answered, Because I didn't have the boots,"

It not infrequently happens, in this world of mistakes and thoughtlessness, that man, even the best of men, may once or twice during long or otherwise faultless life, kiss his hired girl by mistake for his wife. But no man, of ages past or of to-day, was ever known to kiss his wife under the erroneous lna- pression that she was the hired girl.

The HanlOR-MOrFis sCuIlIng Match-Han-
EAn Wins.

PITTsBURG, June 2O.--The single scull race
between Edward Hanfon, Of Toronto, and
Evan Norris OF this city, took place on the
Hutton course to-day. The preparations for
the race were all completed this morning.
For several days crowds Of visitors from Can
ada and many parts of the United States have
been coming into the city. The scenes last
night at the hotels and on the streets were
very much like those presented at the State
convention. The pool rooms were crowded,
and great interest was manifested.
In betting, the odds all along have been In
favor OF Hanlon. The largest crowd assem-
bled at Monongahela House, where pools sold
at about $100 to $50 in favor Of Morris, while
some private bets were made at the rate OF
$1,000 to $780, It Is estimated that there are
$4,000 up at the Monongahela House, At
the course there was an unexpectedly large
crowd. The weather is fine, with slight
breeze, but not enough to materially roughen
the water. Both men were in fine form.
AT o'clock the men were in position, and
nine minutes later the word was given, when
each shot off like an arrow, Hanlon being
slightly in the lead, which he maintained to
the buoy, turning 1t four lengths ahead Of
Morris. Hanlon then increased his speed,
but did not gain anything, coming in only
four lengths ahead of Morris. Time, 35 min
utes Is seconds being within five seconds of
the fastest time on record.

NEW YORK., June 20-The festival Of Corpus
Christi was celebrated to-day at the Church
of the Redempt0rists, with great musical
pOmp and ceremony, the services being con-
Quoted as nearly similar as possible to those
in Germany. The church was crowded before
the commencement of high mass, and at 10
o'clock the roll of drums announced the arri-
val of q company Of soldiers, who took part In
the ceremonies. A band of music was sta
toned in the gallery Ia addition to the large
organ and choir Of fifty voices.
After the gospel had been read, the pro-
CessiOn, which was the distinguishing feature
of the ceremony, was formed. The cele-
brating priests came to the foot Of the altar,
and were there met by other priests from the
cession was afterwards formed and marched
soldiers, followed by men and women bearing
lighted candles, sundry school children in
white dresses and wreaths of flowers, and q
number Of altar boys in red sacks and white
surplices followed Next came a procession
Of little girls carrying baskets OF flowers,
which they strewed in the paths Of the clergy
following them.
A white silk canopy was borne by four len
under which walked the Priest Celebrant, at
tended by his deacons, the latter supporting
the monstranee, and on either side we're altar
boys, swinging censers. AS the procession
moved along the organ and band played ap-
propriate music. When the benediCtiOn was
pronounced the soldiers knelt before the altar
and saluted and dipped their eolors at the

wisconsin Hndians-The sioux and Chip
pewas on Ihe yVarpath.

MADIsON, Wis, June 2O-The indBeatiOns
OF Indian troubles in Burnett county, In this
State, are confirmed. There can be no doubt
that combination or league, for the purpose
Of general war upon the whites, has been
consummated between the Sioux and Chippe-
was in this State and in Minnesota, and with
other tribes Of the Rocky mountains.
Gov. Smith is at Whitewater, but win take
Burnett county and vicinity. There are 1000
to 5000 INDIANS, at least 1900 of whom are
fighting men.
Unless prompt action is taken, they may
cause q general massacre of the whites in the
sparsely settled sections of the State. The
report of the Secretary of the Interior for
1867 gives 1901 as the number of Indians in
this State.

The true inwardness of the invasion Of

Now that the Diaz forces have more than
they can attend to In fighting Escobedo, it
stands to reason that they could not offer any
resistance to the United States troops If they
we're to cross over alter Indian raiders; yet
Gen. Mackenzie's force is the most formida-
BILE one that ever invaded Mexico in time of
peace. It does not nurnber less than 500 cav
