A SELF-RELIANT LITTLE WOMAN.
Annie Koppel, the Immigrant. and Her
Young Charges.

NEW YORK, April IA little blue-eyed, Aaxen-
haired girl formed the head of a very juvenile
procession that filed into Castle Garden from an
emigrant barge yesterday morning. The little
girl was Annie Koppel, eleven years old. She
turned around every now and then and gazed
solicitously at the rest of the procession, made
up of Martha Koppel aged seven, Hans Koppel,
aged FIVE, and two-yea-- old Katie Koppel A big
bewhiskered German picked up Katie and set
her on one of his mighty shoulders. Katie was
delighted but Annie looked up in alarm and 3Si
cried to the big German, ''Be careful! You will
let the child fall"
'Never fear, little mother" said the big Ger
man, STOPPING down and stroking Armies hair
with his disengaged hand. The broad, fathery
smile that shone through the big Germans
whiskers treasured Annie, and she returned to
her place at the head of the line. Annie stepped
in front of the recording clerk, and told him her
name and the names of the rest of the process
sion. She showed tickets to St Louis, and said
she was going there to meet her mother,
clerk
None" replied Annie.
what are you and the babies going to live on
before you get to St Louis?"
Annie said she thought St Louis was only a
wouldn't need anything until she got there.
Then she calmly asked: "How much would be
required to feed the children and meg" until
they reached st. Louis.
Somebody said "About So"
Annie corrugated her white brow, thought a
moment. and asked the clerk if he would lend
her So, saying she would give him receipt for
it and send the money back when she got to her
mother. The clerk gave her the money, and,
when she had the money, she made out re-
ceipt to which she attached her signature in a
clear businesslike hand. She put the money
in her pocket, turned around and smiled on her
smaller companions, and said: Come on,
children and the procession moved on.

New York Special. 9th.

New York Special. 9th.
Mrs. Charles S. Stratton. known better to the
world as Mrs Gen. Tom Thumb, to-day assumed
for the second time the ties of marriage, being
united in wedlock to the Count Primo of Italy,
gentleman of about her own dimensions who has
won some distinction in variety shows 1t had
been decided to have the wedding take place
quietly IN church and admit only invited guests.
A list was made out of a sufficient number to
comfortably fill the Church of the Holy Trinity.
The ceremony took place 3 o'clock this after
noon. At o'clock the throng was so
dense in Forty-second street and Madison
avenue that traffic was INSTRUCTED until fifty po-
licemen arranged passage. The crowd was en-
tirely made up of women and girls. by 2:3O
o'clock all the seats in the body of the church
and by the galleries were filled, and long lines of
guests began to form in the aisle and along the
walls.
A few minutes before o'clock carriage
rolled up before the church door, and there
was tremendous cheering from the crowd as
the bridegroom descended the steps accom-
panied by his fance's bridesmaid Miss Lucy
Adams, who is no larger than Mrs Thumb.
Count Magri wore a correct wedding costume
and beamed with pleasure. Five minutes later
Mrs Stratton entered upon the arm of Major
Newell, husband of Mrs STATIONS sister, the
late Minnie Warren The guests in the church
were obliged to stand upon their seats to see the
little people go down the aisle The Rev. DR..
Wilbur F. Watkins was waiting There was
rush as the bridesmaid and the best man
stood aside and DR.. Watkins read the Episcopal
marriage service, the Count putting the tiny
ring upon his brides finger with affectionate
devotion. AS soon the sentence of
the clergyman made them man and wife Count
Magri threw his arms about his wife's neck and
kissed her. There was laughter in the church
when the tall clergyman stopped over and
kissed the bride.
The crowd were still in waiting outside of the
forth to enter their carriage, and followed the
vehicle to the Murray Hill Hotel, where the
reception was held. The Count Magri and his
bride will make a wedding tour to Europe
shortly.

Just before the Inauguration some friends in
New York State wrote to Mrs. Sunderland, ex-
pressing the desire to come to Washington to
witness the inaugural ceremonies Mrs. Sunder-
land wished to write back an invitation for them
to be her guests; but they were warm friends
of Mr.. Cleveland and her husband had been so
bitter against him that she said to her daughter:
'EYour father will be sure to say something to
hurt their feelings" She decided, after
much trouble of mind, to gently hint
this to the friends and relieve her
self of apparent inhospitality To her
surprise they replied that they should not mind
anything he said, or feel hurt in the least They
came and the united efforts of Mrs Sunder
land and her daughter kept the Doctor pretty
well behaved But after the inauguration the
friends wished to 20 to the White House. Mrs.
Sunderland thought it only courteous to accom-

wife was much distressed. but, taking their
daughter, went with the friends to Miss Cleve-
lands first Saturday reception When the ladies
were introduced, Mrs. Sunderland named,

sign of recognition but when Mrs. DIR. Sunder-

voted to him, and her friends must be ours. My
brother will be so glad to meet him. too hope

said Mrs Hoyt, showing so much pleasure that
Mrs. Sunderland promised to go, forgetting for
the moment how her husband had set his face
against going to the White House When she
told her husband he slowly said:

GARFIELD'S WIDOW.
She Writes Letter Denouncing as False
the RumOr of Her Intended Marriage.

NEW YORK, April From the Tribune of
Wednesday morning. Camden 0. Rockwell,
the brother-in-law of Mrs. Garfield, mentioned,
in a recent letter to her, the newspaper stories
about her reported intention to marry again, and
has received in reply letter, written on the 4th
of April, from which we take the responsibility
of making an extract. 1t will be seen that she
thought dignifed denial by her friends might
be proper, but nothing as it seems to US, can be
more proper and effective than her own woman
ly words.
This cruel rumor, which seems to have been afoat
for two three months did not reach till three
days ago. Nothing that has ever been said about me
has so hurt and offended this and the deepest
humiliation is that many ready to believe it.
To me it seems just as much insult to be asked
whether it is true it would be the dear Gen
eral still here That any think capable of
being faithless to his memory like being regard
ed criminal A dignifed denial by my friends,
suppose, do harm. STILL it hurts me to feel
that any denial is needed"

Skating Kinks and Museums Denounced.

PROVIDENCE, April AT the Cathedral in
this city. Sunday, Bishop Thomas F. Hen
dricken occupied the Episcopal throne and after
the gospel of the mass. which he read in En-
glish, he discoursed to the congregation for the
first time in many months. He discussed for a
while the significance of the Easter feast, and
then dwelt at length upon the evils of
skating Kinks and dime museums. The Bishop
said he had never attended skating rink. He
said that parents should exercise control
over their children regarding their recreations,
and carefully guard them from evil. These
amusements, apparently so innocent are far
from being so. He Intercepted boy regarding
his visit to skating rink the past week, who
replied, when asked what he did there. that he
was dressed up as GIRL and when asked where
he obtained the clothes said he borrowed them
from girl. The moral to be drawn from this
can be understood by all parents. In regard to
dime museums he said tattooed people, and the
many varied monstrosites Of nature exhibited
to the public gaze. do not afford the most de-
sirable instruction to the young. The money
that was spent by children at such places would
be sufficient to support family. Where the
children obtain the money, or how their parents
could afford to give it, he was unable to see or
explain.
