A FAIR TICKLE CREATURE.
A Girl Who Did Not Want to Part With
Her Jewelry.

The officers around the Tombs Police
Court, says New York special to the
Philadelphia Press, were treated to a
passing romance of a rather peculiar ma
ture. Two men appeared as rival claim
ants for one woman's hand, and the
young woman herself was unable to de-
eide which to take. The parties were
Miss Josie A. Tuttle, Mr.. G.. +. Clark, of
Hartford, and Henry a. Savage, of Corn
wall, n. Y. The girl had been living with
Clark in Hartford, but deserted him for
Savage few weeks ago.
Yesterday Clark appeared at Cornwall
and demanded his jewelry from the girl.
Sooner than lose this. Miss Tuttle con-
sented to run away with him, and the
couple came to this city this morning to
get married. When they appeared in
court. the girl said she did not care which
she married, and, as Savage was present
to urge his claims, the Judge declined to
marry her to Clark. The trio walked out
of court arm-in-arm, each rival trying to
tear Josie from the other.
When they reached the sidewalk she
said she would marry Clark; whereupon
Savage lett them. They then went to the
City Hall and tried the Mayor, but he re-
fused to perform the ceremony. After
vainly appealing to various city judges
and aldermen to make them one, Clark
and his affianced determined to take the
boat for Hartford, and have the ceremony
performed there. As they were on their
way to the wharf, however, Savage ap-
peared on the scene and demanded pos
session ofthe girl.
The rival lovers became quarrelsome,
whereupon an officer took them in charge,
and they were each fined $40. Clark paid
his fine, but Savage hadn't the money,
and he was, therefore, locked up. The
girl now declares she will marry Savage

A SOUTH SEA INToXICANT.
How People Get Drunk in the New Con-
tinent.


tinent.
Their own stimulant, KAYE, they con-
tinue to use in great quantities, says the
Melbourne Leader, and many of the
Europeans have contracted liking Tor it.
All the Wairrapans have a taste of it,
and marvel that any white man can
acquire a penchant for such stuff. It's
flavor resembles soap suds more than any
thing else one can compare it with. The
root used is botanically known as that Of
the piper methisticum; it is hard and
woody, hence the object OF the chewing,
which liberates the juices of the root
more freely than any other process.
Europeans crate the root and pound it,
but admit that the liquor is not equal to
the cheWed. In Samoa the preparations
of the kaVa bowl is attended with very
great ceremony, only the young unmar-
ried girls being allowed to chew it. The
root is cut up into fine pieces. and the
girls, who are directed by the prettiest OF
them, first rinse their mouths, take up a
piece, and when sufficiently masticated
and formed into ball, spit it into the
bowl. The chief girl then calls for water.
and after washing her hands directs one
of her companions to pour on the water
while she stirs the root with her hand.
When enough water is in, and the balls
are properly mixed with the ingredient.
she takes up strainer made of fibres of
the hibiscus, and passes it from side TO
side of the bowl. When the strainer is
saturated she lifts it high above the bowl
and squeezes the balls through the strain
er in her hand. This is continued until
the kava bowl is ready. 1t is contended
by some Of the Europeans who use
ciewed root that the mastication is per-
a
cess, but of course an amount of saliva
must get Incorporated in the process. The
medicinal properties of kava are tonic
and nervous sedatiye, and it is to these
effects, and not to its flavor, that the
taste for the drink arises.
