Diamonds in the Teeth,

From the Chicago Mail
'If the fool-killer is in town I can direct him
to a certain number on one of our fashionable
boulevards where he will find ripe subject"
This remark came from young man in nv
presence, and 1 asked him what he meant.
II was sitting in dentists Office to-day" he
said, ''when Acknowledgment woman came
in and wanted her teeth examined. The dem
fist made an examination and told her that her
teeth were in good condition and that they
needed no repairing. One of her front teeth,
the dentist told me afterward. had gold filling
which was artificial and had been inserted not
from necessity bat for effect. This filling she
wanted removed and diamond set in its place
She said she was tired of the plain, everyday
gold and wanted real solitaire diamond set in
the center of a nice white tooth. The woman
lived on one of the most arstocratic boulevards
in Chicago, and the dentist gave me her uame
sub-rosa."
The fad of having diamonds set in the teeth,
while not much INDUCED. is not new as it was
started in New York about year ago asked
DR.. A. b. Clark what his experience had been
with diamond filling. and he told me he had
never been applied to for so aristocratic fill
ing, and did not believe he had customer who
would be so foolish as to want it, The cost he
thought, aside from the cost of the diamond,
would be abont $40. maybe more.
Il have known cases." he said, where women
have had cavities bored into good, sound teeth
and gold set in purely for show. and it is very
common, when am preparing front teeth for
gold filling. to be asked by both male and fe-
male customers to do the filling from the front
SO the gold can be seen"

A DUCAL MARRIAGE.
The Duke of Sutherland Marries Mary
Caroline Blair.

Tampa, Fla. Special to the Herald
A license has been issued by the Judge of
probate of HIllsborough county for the mar
riage of George William Sutherland Leveson-
Cover, widower, otherwise the Duke of Suther-
land, and Mary Caroline Blair, widow.
The duke has been here for two months past,
living quietely on some property which he has
acquired and devoting most of his time to hunt
ing shooting and fishing. The small but COM
comfortable house on his place has been honored
since his arrival here with the presence of a
handsome woman, known as Mrs. Blair who
has shared in his sports and pastimes, and who
was more or less of an enigma to the natives.
Was she maid. wife, widow or prospective bride.
This doubt seems to be solved to-day by the
announcement that the lady in question is
about to become the Duchess of Sutherland.
Poetic as well as retributive justice is properly
satisfied by this match. since Mrs. Blair is the
widow OF a dependent of the duke, whom he
accidentally shot and killed while on a hunting
expedition.
THE FORMER DUCHESS.
The duke became a widower only last No.
vember by the sudden death of his wife at
Stafford House from cold contracted in seeing
the duke off for America. Her maiden name
was Anna Mckenzie, the only child of Mr.. J.
Hay Mckenzie, of Cromartie, Scotland. Five
children were issue of the marriage-Lord
Cover. who died in early youth; the Marquis
of Stafford, Lord Tarbat, Lady Florence, who
became the wife of the Right Hon. Henry
Chaplin, NJ p, and who died in 1881, and Lady
Alexandra, still unmarried. She was a woman
OF most estimable personal character, and a
close friend to Queen Victoria.
THE NOBLE DUKE.
The duke has been frequent visitor to our
shores, generally coming in the stateroom of
his own big steam yacht, which, if it bore the
brave name of Sans Peur, was perhaps not al
ways sans reDroche.
1t will be remembered that during one visit
In April, 1886. he rather upset New York's idea
OF what real British nobleman should be by
appearing at a fashionable wedding in a short
peaJacket and otherwise deporting himself like
a jack tar ashore.
1t is said that bis grace is sufficiently fasci-
mated by the climate and sport of Florida to be
willing to abandon forever his legislative func-
lions as peer of the realm and intends to ex-
patrlate himself in the interests of Tampa Fla
oranges and orange blossoms.
Welcome, then, to our republic, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leveson-Blair-G

LOOK OUT FOR PICKPOCKETs.
The Usual Mob of Thieves Coming
With the Crowd to the Inauguration.

with the great number Of strangers coming
10 the city, there are, as matter of course,
many thieves. During the next four or five
DAYS the professional pickpockets are expected
mere IN large numbers to do the CITY. and
should they prove as successful as they did four
years ago, they will get enough watches to fill
bushel measure. The thieves are expected
on almost every train now, and especially on
the trains from New York. More western
thieves are expected, however, than have here
tofore attended the inaugural ceremonies be-
cause there will be more visitors here from the
west than at anyprevious Inauguration. Theywill
not walt until the train arrives here before they
begin operations They can work crowded train
10 as good advantage as they can a street car,
because If they secure watch valuable enough
to warrant an additional expenditure for their
trip they can stop off at the first town and dis
pose OF II to some member of the fraternity"
IL, on the other hand. it is not of enough value
to warrant such action. it can easily be thrown
from the car window. If the plumber consists
OF ''wad" of bills. it is considered SAFE" as
II will not operate against them. even if they
should get arrested. They dress and deport
themselves well. To say that your pocket can
not be picked or your scarf pin cannot be taken
from you is absurd These expert thieves will
astonish the most cautious and knowing indi-
viduai with their dexterity.
The city is not protected this year in the way
IL was TOUR years ago. linen there
were detectives brought from different
cities who were expected to spot
their local thieves and cause their arrest.
This year no outside detectives are to be brought
here, and the local men, together with the
regular officers and the four hundred specials,
will be depended upon to keep the city as free
as possible of thieves. Private Detectives Nc
Dewitt and Flinders made an offer to the au-
thorltles and guaranteed to keep the city
''clean" for less than half the amount appro-
priated to pay the specials, but their offer was
declined. In addition to the members of the
force, the local private detectives will take care
of some of the principal hotels. Look out for
pickpockets" Is the sign posted about the hotel
corridors to warn the guests that thieves are in
town. But looking out for them is not all that
is necessary. The only safe thing to do is to
leave watches and other valuables at home or
in the safe at the hotel Four years ago there
were more than fifty professional thieves ar
rested and locked up here until the inaugural
ceremonies were over, when they were put ON
train and sent out of the city

Why He Broke the Engagement.

from the CnlcagO Ir1Dule.
The North Side romance of Mr.. Bebber, the
shoe clerk, and Miss Temple which began with
the fitting of shoe and ended in runaway
match to California, babe fair to have its
counterpart on the South Side. A Wabash
shoe clerk, who is one of the elite OF his pro-
fession. and Rhodes avenue girl had advanced
through the initial stages OF courtship to an
engagement.

into the shoe store. The entrance Of a Gus

over some new samples of evening slippers

knew they would.
She had not come prepared to expose her
foot Tor ut, but there was no reasonable ex-
cuse for refusing. and she submitted with a de-
murring little smile.
Out OF Its shoe came the shapely right foot,
cased in black silk hose. She set it down at
once on the white rug, but the quick move
ment was lost at the moment on the lover in
his admiration of the arched instep outlined
on the favorable background
The fitting began. There were somewhat ner-
vous yet becoming bushes on her part and de-
lays on his. Presently he drew his hand sharply
from the bottom of her foot. A drop of blood
welled from the tip of his second finger. The
awful truth was revealed to him. Without look
ing up he quickly finished the fitting, boxed
the slippers, and was relieved by the advent of
several customers. couple of hours after

RICH AND POOR.
An Historical Explanation OF Their Es-
arrangement.

Rev. c. II. Morse in the Forum
Leaders in religious enterprises. as well
as politicians, are open to the suspicion
OF waiting for an issue to become popular be-
fore adopting it. The hesitation of the church
at the present juncture may, possibly, be owing
to the fear that an impartial investigation of
present vital questions in the light of the Word
of God might result in struggle that would,
while advancing righteousness, involve the loss
OF the sympathy and adherance of the ''better
classes. The time was, when in our land there
was no recognized antagon1sm between the
working classes and the churches. 1t is a new
problem in our civilization. The cause should
be easily discovered by unclouded eyes. Fifty
years ago aristocratic pretensions were
looked upon as vagaries and treated with con-
tempt. In the churches people felt nothing of
the chill of caste. A glance at the centers of
population must convince us that now all is
changed. There is an evident rivalry in the
erection of splendid edifices and in the social
and oratorical qualifications of the ministry.
The poverty OF the workingman's home is
accentuated by comparison with the richness
of the sanctuary. The chief seats are vivid
with purple and fine linen. Intensifying social
struggles are working transformation in the
character of the church, as is manifest from
the new Technology coming into general use,
such as star preachers, d" first class churches,
wealthy congregations and "our poor
charges" The diverse of this is found in the
expressions of the workingman: 1--WE can't
dress well enough to so to church. ''your lead
ing members don't notice us on the street."
your preachers run after the rich, 1.-The min
tiers side against us in the matter of strikes"
With social inequality among members outside
of the church there cannot be religio-social
equality within it. The great human heart of
the people comprehends in some measure the
fact that Christianity is not a cement to hold
rich veneer to a body of inferior materials. but
a furnace to fuse all elements into one homo
genous mass. Under present conditions it is
sheer folly to talk about the rich and the poor
meeting together in the house Of God; the poor
decline the invitation.
