The Puritan Wins.

Though the Priscilla cana In second
and close In the wake OF the Puritan In
yacht race, 1t was evidently
not her day out. At the start there
was wind enough--a ripple on the
water-but as the morning advanced
the breeze died away, and by IL o'clock
IL was blowing less than eight miles an
hour, which was scarcely sufficient
to I'LL the sails Of the larger craft. The
course, except for the fourth and
fifth class sloops and cutters, was to
the east OF the black buoys ,on the line Of
the west bank, to buoy 10, on the south
west spit, thence to buoy 81, thence
north Of buoy No. 8 TO Sandy Hook
liRhtship and return. The fourth class
sailed around the Scotland lightship,
while the fifth class did not 60 farther
than buoy No 8. The interest In this,
as In the two previous regattas, cen tered
in the fact that among the participants
were the Prioills, Puritan, Atlantic
and Mayfower, one of which is to be
selected TO defend the Americas cup In
the International races to be sailed 10
September.
Throughout the race the Puritan led.
and the finish was as follows:

Personating Comrale.

4 strange ease OF false impers0nation oc-
Cured at West Chester, Pa. The Jail doors
closed on Moses Frisby, who was committed in
default Of bail OH the charge Of obtaining money
under false pretenses. \ short time ago the
accused, stranger called on the relatives Of
Jesse Glasgow, who disappeared at the out
break of the war aud had not been heard from
since. Frisby, who greatly rCsembled the miss
ing man, said he was Jesse Glasgow. He show
ed a wound on his body which he had sustained
BY fall from horse when attending the uni
versity; and this fully established his identity
in the eyes OF the family. He described the
accident, the color of the horse and other details
which the elderly people very well remember.
Then the stranger called on a young woman,
who was quite little girl when Jesse left
home. He said TO her. Here is doll. You
remember when ! left, years ago, promised
you q doll" A photograph was also found and
the resemblance is perfect.
Then the stranger was safely housed with
the relatives and the fatted calf killed. The
story of his wanderings was listened to with
svidty by old and young. He obtained quite
a large sum Of money from several of the rela-
tives TO go into business, but instead of using
the money in that way it was squandered. This
aroused suspicion and the stranger was arrest
ed. When arraigned he stoutly maintained that
he was the missing Jesse. He admitted having
obtained the money and spent it,
Three witnesses testified positively that the
man was Moses Frisby, Of North Penn village.
Then the prisoner Acknowledged that he had
been n soldier with Jesse Glasgow; that they
had been comrades OH the march aud IN camp,
and that they had given each other the details
OF their several lives He knew that Jesse
was in Brownsville, Texas, and did not write
home; and being North and near Jessc's home
WAS tempted To play the part of the missing
SON and heir. He will be tried at next court.

A Jsp.Ec-e Marriage,

Louisville has just been treated to the nov
city OF japanese wedding. katOw Unosuke
and THRU Ishiwa-a were the happy contracting
parties. Katow is n bright young Jap with the

become familiar figure ut tie japanese store on
Fourth avenue. The ceremony was a very
quiet one, only few being present in addition
10 the other Japs az the exposition. The mar
riage ceremony in Japan is extremely simple.
The groom had procured two plain gold rings
in which were inscribed the initials Of himself
and Gancee and the date of their engagement,
and the exchanging Of these is a sufficient cere-
mOny i'm Japan after the consent Of the parents
has been obtained. Immediately after the
wedding the assembled guests were given
breakfast. This was Sunday morning. The
next day some American friends let the light of
civilization shine upon the guileless ignorance

the laws Of this country was necessary. The
County Clerk was then looked up and a license
issued. Then the couple, accompanied by
American friends, drove to Squire McCann's
Office. crowd of the curious had gathered,
and the bride and groom received quite an
ovation. The license was produced, and Squire
McCann commenced the ceremony. When he
asked, "Will you, katow UnOsuke, take this
woman 10 be your welded wife?" the groom
hesitated for moment, not quite catching the
purport Of the words; but the bride tapped
him on the shoulder and said, Say Yes, ,"
which he accordingly did. After the second
ceremony the young people received the con-
CALCULATIONS of the Squire and the attendants.
In the evening they held public reception at
the Japanese village.

Temperance society of % members in his

every soldier should have two doses of oufnine
in whisky every day. Scrg't Bush marched his
company up to the Surgeons tent at sick call -
and the Surgeon said % Pour out big one for

The Oleomarsarlne Industry.

Inquiries among the New York manufacture
ers indicate that the OleOmaTgarine Industry
has received severe blow by the new law
which goes into effect tomorrow. Manufacture
eTs are To pay a license fee OF 5000; the whole
sale dealer must pay 1880 But at this point a
distinction enters. for the manufacturer who
sells his own goods exclusively at the place of
manufacture and has given bond and paid the
special tax and has affixed the stamps to the
original packages, is exempt from the tax of a
wholesale dealer. The retail dealer must pay
SiS and sell only in less quantities than 10
pounds. The wholesale dealer does not know
what to do. II the retail dealer does not take
out license, the wholesaler will have no GUS
toners for his stuff. IL the retail dealer does
pay his tax, however the manufacturer can sell
directly in wholesale quantities without the
payment OF other than the special tax. The
manufactures aud the consumer will then be
brought so near together that the wholesale
dealer or middleman will have no chance. Yet
1t IS believed that without his intervention the
demand will steadily decrease. prominent
