Eccentric Amelie Riyes.

LOUISVILLE POST
A lady who lives but a few miles from Amelie
Rives-Chanler, the eccentric and famous novel
ist, is here on a visit, and tells me of some incl
dents and freaks connected with her marriage
that have never appeared in print, | think. The
novelist is nothing IL not sensational, so after
the ceremony, instead of going Immediately
away on a bridal tour, she changed the whole
order of things. packed her whole family up and
started them off up the country, remaining in
supreme possession Of her home, whore she
fingered several days before finally going East.
The night of the wedding the house remained
brilliantly lighted far after the gray streaks of
dawn lit up the eastern horizon, and the pretty
bride was seen fitting through the rooms, first
in her own and then In the parlor, whore she
played her harp and sang many songs. The
day was fully born before she saw fit to seek
rest, and not until a 6 o'clock dinner was an
nounced did she make her appearance. The
story published that Mrs. Chauler was con-
frmed in her night robe. my informant tells
me, is literally true, only that it was ornament
ed with dainty and exquisite frills and furbe-
lows, and would have done credit 20 a ball
dress only for the shape Of the garment. 1t is
also said that when the bishop confirmed the
pretty girl, her loveliness so dazed the good
man that he hardly knew how to perform the
service.

Mrs. Lenora NJ. Barry, general organizer and
lecturer OF the women's K. OF L., followed Mr..
Powderly. and said that in New York she had
seen women made drunk in manufactures In
order that they might be induced to work for
lower wages. These women were soon earning
their living or the street Whenever a man in
duced q woman to take her first glass OF wine
the sure foundation was laid for her downfall.
She believed that while there was so much talk
about the effect of drinking there should be some
talk about the cause. While drink brought men
to poverty it was equally true that pow
erty brought men to drink. While the
temperance people preached about the saloon.
they should also say that just so long as men
were craving for something to eat, or were de-
void o: the necessaries of life, they would hunt
the saloon and places of vice. She thought
there were not enough women in the temper
ance movement. A woman's place was not az
home when there was something she could do
thought women should be called into all the
counsels, because they knew what was needed
better than the men.
The last speaker of the evening was Alex
snder c. Rankin. of Pittsbure. He said he
liked the knights of Labor because they had
emphatically placed themselves upon the eide
of temperance. He believed in more than total
ebstinence-that was only a personal matter.
He was opposed to the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor to be used as 3 beverage; he
was a constitutional prohibitionist. The ques-
ton should be submitted to a vote OF tbs whole
people. 1t argued we'll for the Knights tina.
they had declared it in their constitution to be
q right of a State to prevent the manufacture
and sale of liquors TO be used as q beverage. He
believed that if intemperanes wasremoved labor
would gain fifty years in one.

and that was the last seen Of him for six days.
Queries had been made regarding his non-ap-

could be obtained. Last Saturday William
M. Cam and Frank Cavanaugh were
in search of the missing man. A few
hundred yards above the residence of John
Williams, in Old Woman's gulch, they passed
an abandoned tunnel. At the suggestion of one
to search the place, with the possibility Of find
ing the object OF their search, with lighted can
die they entered. Cautiously they groped their
way into the tunnel. when suddenly they found
themselves on the brink of a shaft. Peering
over the edge, with their lighted candle. they
could see no bottom. They called out, but no

Chicago Letter in IT. Louis Globe Democrat.
A big. muscular negro, black as Erabus,
stands guard within the portals of the Century
Club, and no curious outsider can enter. Ever
since 'OlG Hutch" made a round million in the
wheat deal; he has been sought after by every
stranger that comes to town, all anxious to
catch a glimpse of the tall. stalwart figure, the
smooth-shaven, determined face. and the SLOUGH
hat Of the now famous old man. Many carry
opera-elasses with them TO the public gallery Of
the Board of Trade in order to scan ''Hutch's-
features. but others invent trivial excuses for
going to the Century Club, where Mr.. Hutchin-
son spends most OF his time. There it was easy
enough Tor any one to gain admittance, for the
outer door was never locked in the daytime, and
the presiding genius of the club was TOO economic
al to employ a man to guard against intrusion.
But when tie people began TO annoy
the old man by c%rowding in on him just when no
was ready to open a jack pot, 1t Was more than
he could stand with composure. He swore
in the Yankee dialect that he learned as a shoe
makers apprentice in New England, and rather
roughly ordered them out Then he determined
TO put a stop to the whole business, aud he en-
ployed the darby at 81 ger week.
The Century Club is not as pretentions as
some OF the other organizations, bat it is one Of
the richest. Ii includes in its membership OF
200, fully a dozen miiliouaires. OF course the
master spirit OF the club is "Old Eutch." but on
its rolls are the names OF men known in
every commercial center in the country.
John Cudahy. Phil Arnours partner, is
one of them. Leopold Bloom, the Jewish
~scalper, who made a fortune in pork,

BASEBALL Outlook.

President Brush, who is now in New York to
attend the meeting Of the baseball magnates,
said to a reporter, recently: II think the most
important business TO be transacted by the
League will be the enactment OF legislation to
insure the clubs in the smaller cities against
financial losses. Unless this legislation is
passed, there is a probability that Indianapolis
may not remain in the League" That is the
first direct intiEation Of the possibility Of the
Hoosiers' retirement, and but further compli-
Gates the case, a baseball writer thinks. With
another Western franchise TO dispose of, in ad-
dition TO Detroits, there is no telling what
might happen, and therein lie the fond hopes
of the League contingens In Cincinnati. 1T
looks to me-" said President Stern. in Cinciu-
natl, Saturday, ''as IL we were drifting to one
grand acgregation-a league made up of the
best clubs Of the two circuits The Associa-
ton idea is to back up Buffalo, in case Cieve-
land really goes, and protect the town from
financial loss.

adopted by the Rev. Russell. II. Conwell. Of
Grace Baptist Church, at Mervine and Berks
streets. The Business Mems Union of the

which is q beautiful specimen OF granite, has
been placed in the vestibule Of the present
church, and the cavity has been converted into
o savings fund, into which the contributors drop
their gifts. The space to be filled mp with
money is eight inches deep, sixteen inches long
and eight inches wide. The opening is protect
cd by a lid. and Pastor Conwell says he expects
great results from the new idea. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars. the price of the new lot, will
be paid in about four weeks, and operations will
be Immediately begun on the new church. It
will be finished in one year and will cost $780,
900. The seating capacity will be 200, the
