A Philadelphia Girl Soon to Elk.

Title.
Philadelphia Press.
The report from Europe Of the en-
gagement of Miss Mary Wheeler. Mrs.
Charles Wheeler's second daughter. TO
Count Pappenheim, of the Bavarian
family of that name, which for UNI
numbered generations has been one of
great social prestige, and for at least
three centuries has filled place Of i'm
poTtance in German affairs. as an
nounced during the week in the Press,
has given society an agreeable subject
for gossip.
The Pappenheim family is large
and growing one, and in accordance
with the German law. all the males are
law breaks. 1t is impossible to imagine
that the line will ever run out. Never
theless, though so numerous, they are
still highly regarded. and they have a
social prestige superior to that pos
sessed by most of the German princes.
They are part of an inner circle of
sWelldOm formed by sixty families, who
are thought to be the oldest Of renown
in the empire.
The circumstance that the German
law permits title to pass to all the male
members of the family is an agreeable
thing in one way, though it is unfor-
tunate in another, for while the family
possessions must of necessity in course
of time be eaten up, the unrelaXing
pride of station forbids any of the MEM
berS of noble family from engaging in
any sort of paid work in their own
country, even though the purpose may
be the laudable one in itself of repairing
the family fortune.
The Pappenheims are not poor in the
Bavarian sense, though far from
wealthy, observed from the American
point of view. They have great deal
of land. which, if it could get into the
market. would make them very wealthy,
but unfortunately most of it is situated
in an out-of-the-way Bavarian high
lands, far from railroad stations and
cities. For example, the family castle
at Ettal stands on q steep mountain
side, and to reach it one is obliged to
make two hours wagon journey over
steep roads. A better notion of the
loneliness-of its situation, indeed, will
be given by statement of the fact that
it is only half an hours journey from
the quaint little village of Ober-Am-
mergau, where for 200 years and more
the celebrated Passion Play" has been
performed once in ten years, in persn-
ance of. a religious row. Ammergau

THE BABKEEPER's MATCH.
The Latest Scheme to Trick the
Man Who Mixes Drinks.
New York Sun.


Man Who Mixes Drinks.
New York Sun.
The fellow who is always on the look
out for tricks to beat the bartender with
has discovered a new one. He tried it
IN a Park row saloon the other evening,
and it proved a great success. He
walked in and lifted bunch of matches
out of box on the bar, and was putting
them in his pocket, when the barkeeper
interpOSed with:
"Them's no good to you; they light
only on the box"
s.'Chat so? Well, l never see match
yet that l couldn't light, box or no
box"
"Well. then, you see one now," re-
torted the barkeeper.
''Oh. do L? Bet you the drinks can
light these without any box"
Go you," said the barkeepOr.
Thereupon the smart young fellow
selected one of the matches, stepped
over to the cigar case, struck it on the
glass and then held it under the aston
ished barkeeper's nose while it burned.
The barkeeeper set up the drinks, but
he half suspected that he was the victi m
of hOcus pocus; that in fact the fellow
had substituted an ordinary brim stone
match for the light only on the box'
article.
But It's all square. Anybody can do
it. You simply give the match quick,
heavy stroke on any hard, polished sur
face, glass or marble, grasping it tightly
close to the head to avoid breaking it,
and it lights about as readily as the COM
mon match.

SHOES FOR PRETTY FEET.
Why Men Make Better Clerks
Than Women in Shoe Stores.

Rochester Post-Express.
I'VE have occasionally tried ladies as
clerks, but the experiment has never
proved satisfactory" said the proprietor
of large shoe store to a reporter.
Some of the big shoe stores in New York
and other cities still employ them, how
ever. Occasionally lady customers will
come in who prefer to have one of their
own sex fit their shoes. Most women,
however, prefer to be waited on by men.
When the shoe is first tried on con-
siderable strength is often required
to button it properly. 1t is often neces-
sary to take hold of the edge of the
shoe near the buttonhole with one hand
and draw it over the instep, while the
buttonhOOk is used with the other hand.
A man has so much more strength than
woman in his hands and wrists that
he can fit a shoe with comparatively
little difficulty. A woman, on the other
hand, i'm fitting a shoe usually tugs
away with the buttonhOok alone. and in
her Intellectual efforts to fit shoe over
the instep she sometimes tears off all
the buttons. Customers are especially
difficult to suit in the shoe business.

The stubborn Crow Creeks.

Crow CREEK AGENCY via Chamberlain
S. D., July 9.-There was another council
this afternoon. White Ghost, Drifting
Ghost and Bull Ghost spoke on the parl
of the Indians. They complained gener.
ally of the failure of the Government tc
treat them justly; that they once owned
a vast territory, and that their lands had
dwindled, without their getting anything
for them, until they had but little left,
and now they were asked to sell part
of that. Governor Foster, Major War
ner and General Crook each spoke,
giving reasons why the act of Congress
should be adopted, acknowledging that
the Indians had doubtless grounds to
complain of their past treatment, which
it was impossible now to rectify, and
that whatever had been the action in the
past, now the Government proposes to
treat them fairly.
At the conclusion of the Council those
in favor of the bill began signing. 1t is
impossible to say just what the result
will be, but at this hour the prospect
for getting the requisite three-fourths
is not encouraging. The lines
are apparently drawn as last year, though
there is less of bitter feeling between the

mending to the department at Washing
ton-which he has already done
measurably-large expenditures OF

begin his second term in Congress from
Southern California, supplementary to
his two terms from Iowa, with splendid
acclaim, and with we'll grounded hopes
of third term in the Golden State
which would land him in his seventy
sixth year. If he shall recognize the ex-
ceptional claims of Los Angeles county

tance his Republican competitors. Thus

would be largely reinforced by a generous

New ORLEANS, July 9.-The States says,
editorially: =" The marvellous military
genius displayed by Governor Lowry, OF
Mississippi, and Governor Nichols, OF
Louisiana, in their combined efforts to
suppress the Sullivan. Kilrain prize. fight
served but to lend eclat to as fragrant a
violation Of lew and order as was ever
committed. If Governor Lowry, after
his military fasco, can gather his
wits together and issue a requisi-
ton upon the Governor of any State
where Sullivan and Kilrain and their
hackers may be found, and have them
apprehended and brought to Mississippi,
to be punished according to law, the ex-
ample he shall then set will do more to
deter a recurrence of yesterdays lawless-
ness than the combined use of all the
armies of Louisiana and Mississippi
which yesterday added an element Of
supreme ridicule to the arrant blunder oi
funny pair of Governors.
