knees,in which the dimpleslurked like
love in a woman's eyes, the legs
crescendoed into symmetrical calves
and then diminuendoed into ankles

A profane mosquito, floating in
through the open window, lowered
a moment over the alabastar night
gown, and then swooped down on one

jewelled hand and brought it down
with violence on the spot where the
profane mosquito ought to have been.
But the wicked bird had flown and
the stricken flesh began to redden and
swell. Colonel Crittenden was bath

mosquito generally when the reporter
left.

Geronimo Trevino, commanding the
northern division of the Mexican
army, and Miss Roberta Augusta,
eldest daughter of General L. 0. G.
Ord, commanding the department Of
Texas, were married here this evening
in st. Marks Episcopal church,
Bishop Elliott officiating. Upward OF
two thousand persons thronged the
church at the time, and vast numbers
were ~congregated on the outside, in
tense interest being taken. After the
ceremony the bridal party proceeded
to the residence of General Ord.
where a reception was held. The yard
and premises were brilliantly illumi-
mated, and the scene was very gay.
The presents are very numerous, cost
ly and elegant. A banquet will be
rendered General Trevino Thursday,
when he leaves with his bride for
their future home at San Louis Po-
tosi, Mexico.

On their arrival here an artillery
salute will be fred on both sides of

a series of entertainments and out

"Ohio is now no longer considered a

that there is an alarm at the condition

Republican leaders, however cheer
fully they may whistle, know that the
success of their ticket in October is
already doubtful and every day be-
coming more so. Every day the
party is losing, and it sees no hope
that the loss can be checked between
this and the election. II is time now
for the democratic party to prepare a
grand charge all along the line.

COLONEL CRTTTENDEN'S LEGS.
An Interview With the Late Com
federate officer and Present
Missouri Politician.

The following noted interview with
a political candidate appeared in the
Kansas City Times, July Id:
Colonel Tom Crittenden, candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination, ar
rived in the city last night over the
Missouri Pacific road. He was very
anxious to escape the vigilance Of the
reporters, and slipped up to his room,
at the Union Depot hotel, with great
alacrity. Colonel John Hodnet, of
st. Louis, appeared to meet Critten-
den on the train, and took special
pains to call at the Times Office as
soon as he got up town to tell about
Crittenden's presence in the city. A
Times reporter started for the eminent
politicians room. Colonel Crittenden
had gone to bed in room No. 81, but
continued rapping aroused him and be
lighted the gas, padded to the door
and admitted the ma1 of the quill.
You newspaper men are ubiqui-
tious," said Colonel Crittenden, in a
tone too sleepy to be peevish; you
confront me on every hand. What do
you want now? | haven't anything
to say"
With these words Colonel Critten-
den padded back to the bed and
stretched himself out upon it and
tried to look cool. The reporter OBJ
served that the colonel wore a hand
some muslin night gown, snowy white
and deliberately trimmed. The yoke
was what is known as the French de-
sign, and the collar, which was of
broad lace of a beautiful pattern, was
not buttoned, but drawn together with
a silk, puckering string, outside OF
which was a light blue silk kerchiei
tied in a sailors knot. There were
three rows of rufles down the front OF
the garment and between and running
parallel with each row was a tiny
band of lace. On the left breast was
a pocket bordered with lace, from
which peeped a hemstitch light blue
silk handkerchief. The sleeves were
ample and graceful at the wrists
were bands of lace which gave the
smooth, plump hands of the wearer
charming effect. The elaborate gar.
meut extended down to just below The
wearer's waist, and there divided int
two flaps, in the corner of one of which
was Colonel Crittenden's monogram
embroidered in an exquisite shade o
blue silk. Each of the flaps was Dor.
dered with lace of unique design
Colonel Crittenden's legs protrudeC
from his superb nightgown as he lay
stretched upon the bed. They were
not what could be called chubby legs
although they were suffused with that
blush tint which is Characteristic o.
the rich, hot blood of youth. They
we're nOt gross legs nor lean legs mel
fat legs nor scrawny legs. Plump they
we're, yet they breathed a sense Of

On the wall just over the foreman's
desk is pasted an inscription which
reads: Amy man who brings in a

failure Of Mr.. Simpson to observe

When the doctor finished his dis
course he turned to the crowd which
had assembled in the hall below and
invited them to come up stairs and
see him, saying, Pm not going down
there to breathe that nasty air"
Among those who accepted the invi-
tation we're members of the Toronto
Lacrosse club, doctors from Holland,
San Francisco and other remote parts
of the world, autograph seekers and
ladies with large bouquets. All were
greeted kindly, but the latter received
special notice from the faster, as he is
not only fond of flowers, but is very
gallant in his attentions to the gentler
sex whenever they visit him. Some
disturbance was caused by a gentle
man falling down in the hall in an
e%pileptic fit. DR.. j. H. Reilly, one of
the watchers, attended him and he
soon recovered, but declined to give
his name. When DR.. Tanne' heard
the cause of the excitementLr ACE
tiously remarked, He had probably
just eaten his dinner"
At one o'clock most of the visitors
had left the gallery, but not before
the doctor had been asked so many
silly questions hat he seemed almost
exhausted. A great deal has been
said to the effect that the public did
not clearly understand why he had
not accepted DR.. Hammond's propo-
sition when he commenced his fast.
