A RATTLING RACER.
Arrival i'm Sedalia, Yesterday, of
"COmache," the Well
Known Runner.

"Comache," the well-known
negro sprinter, arrived in the city
early yesterday morning and made an
effort to get up a race here, but failed,
and accordingly departed on Missouri
Pacific train No. 6 for st. Louis.
"Comache" is a full-blooded negro,
but was born in the Indian Territory.
He is ~ years of age, and has partic.
ipated in more than 100 professional
races, winning no less than nine-tenths
of them. His last race, distance 100
yards. was run last week at yelling
ton, Kas. His opponent was a white
man named Smith, and the purse was
S40O a side. "COmache" won with
ease and left the town with a very
clever stake.
Il prefer to run IS yards,
said "COmache" to the BAzoo
man, "but / am good for 100 yards
also"
"What is your best time on IS
yards"
81 have made it in eight seconds,
but did not have any time to fool
away"
"And 100 yards"
"My best time is e.even seconds.
If do not get race in st. Louis /
will 60 to Chicago, where | know /
can make match"
To look at "Comanche" no one
would imagine him to be fleet of foot.
He is short of stature, heavy set, and
resembles the typical southern darkey.
He dresses like an ordinary negro
laborer, but this is done for effect, and
not because he is compelled to, as his
pockets are generally filled with green
backs.

Brilliant and Fashionable We'd

People.

Seymour r. Lipsis, formerly pro-
prietor of the Bee Hive millinery
store in this city, but now a resident
of St. Louis, was welded in Kansas
City Thursday evening and of the
event the Times says:
At 8 o'clock last evening, the resi-
dence of Mr.. Luis Hammerslough,
1920 Central street, was the scene of
one of the most brilliant weddings wit
messed in this city for some time. The
contracting parties were Mr.. s. E.
Lipsis, of st. Louis, and Miss Nettie,
daughter of Mr.. Louis Hammer
slough, of this city. Ittts.
There were about 200 guests pres
ent, including quite q number from
New York, Chicago, st. Louis and
Jacksonville, Ill. The house was
beautifully decorated with flowers,
and the grounds were illuminated
with Chinese lanterns. Rabbi Kraus-
kopf performed the marriage eere-
mOny. After the services a banquet
was served, covers being laid for 200
guests. After the banquet, dancing
was INDUCED in till late hour.
Scores of congratulatory kilograms
from eastern points were received
during the evening, and the happy
couple were made the recipients of a
number of valuable presents. The
bride was dressed in a magnificent
white satin, lined with lace, and wore
diamond ornaments. The groom
wore the conventional full dress.
A noteworthy feature of the we'd
ding was the magnificent decorations
of the bridal chamber of the St.
James, which was occupied by the
bride and groom last evening. 1t had
been transformed into perfect bower
of roses and rare plants and flowers,
at an expense of $500, and was per.
haps the most gorgeously decorated
bridal chamber ever seen in Kansas
City. The newly married couple
leave this morning for Chicago and
other eastern points.

"The third mar I've &ols away mad
this morning" remarked a clerk at the
general delivery window. "He called
for mail addressed to his wife, and we
wouldn't give it to him. We are not
allowed to, unless he has an order. /
tell you, it is an eye-opener to many
men to discover that their wives have
any rights. WHAT they will say "a
man can't get q letter for his W wife
without an orderp No, sir, it is a rule
of the department. And then they
boil with rage. You see, most men are
in the habit of opening their wives let

Sometimes O married women wants to
carry on correspondence without hay

protect her rights that rule was made.
OF course, it is none Of our business
what her correspondence is about. 1t
may be with her relatives, lady friends,
her lawyer, or with an admirer. We
don't know, nor care. All that the
department knows is that she
is a woman, entitled to have
her letters delivered into her
OWE hands. If she wants her husband
or any other person to have them she
can write an order. Sometimes the
husbands will go off and come back
after a while with an order which they
have written themselves and signed
their wives names to. In such cases
we get ahead of them by making sthem
sign q receipt, and the similarity of the
writing in the surnam gives their little
game away.
II remember q case where a womans
foresight was too sharpf for her husband.

was getting mail here, and that he
would present an order In q woman's
handwriting, presumably her own, she
left here O written order that her letters
were to be delivered to nobody but her.

with his little order we presented his

quick'as he could. But manytimes when
men ask for their wives letters here or
at the advertised window they do not
know of the rule, and the honest amaze
ment that comes ON their faces upon
discovering that their better halves
have some privileges not shared by
them IN .common-some rights which
even the husband cannot interfere with
lis quite comical.

had on hand. A wonderful story was
sent to him of the discovery of the de-
sired entry in an old register. A great
snow-storm had broken throught the
vestry roof, and nearly spoiled the par

to overhaul them to inspect damages,
and the missing entry had been thus

the registry was a skillful forgery on
the part of the parson, who found it
necessary to fly the country.
