The little city of Winchester, Clark
county, has been considerably excited
over the announcement of the marriage
of Miss Mamie Petticord. She is tall,
handsome lady of about twenty, and dur
ing a visit to Missouri la st summer won
the affections of G. A. Goodman, Of Ham
ilton, that State. After her return home
she and the above-named gentleman kept
up a correspondence, and their affection
for each other grew into love, and from
love into a marriage engagement. Tick
cts were issued stating that their mar
riage would take place at the residence OF
the bride, in Winchester, on Tuesday, ana
one of these cards was sent to Thomas
jackson, who was also q sultor 1or Dhe
heart and hand of Miss Petticord. =
On receiving the announcement he at
once sought an interview with the lady,
and between sobbing and tears, told her
how he loved her, and if he vas not sue
cessful the shock would kill him. This
softened the heart of the young lady, and
she then and there consented to hold on
" AAC1 AL0O 4ONO Ctlo III ~ NNS~oT
ment with the Missourian. She wrote
him that her mind had been changed, and
that she now loved another. Goodman,
on receiving the announcement or ner
change of mind, Immediately took the
train for Kentucky. and he, too, soughg
an interview with Miss Pettfcord, and
with the same persuasion crying sne
promised to be his wife.
Thinking he had everything his own
way, Goodman went to his hotel, but MI.
Jackson then called and made another
most affecting appeal, and her mind was
again changed.
This was kept up for a week, first one,
then the other being the victor.
On Friday evening Mr.. Goodman had
an engagement to call, but while he was
at supper Mr.. jackson procured o mar
riage certificate and a minister, and when
Mr.. Goodman arrived at the house they
~weresmarried.
Paris experienced a similar wedding TO
this several years ago. A young lady,
daughter of a minister, was engaged TO
four wealthy young men of this county
and they all knew of her engagement TO
each of them. They were all to appear at
her residence on the day set for her wed
ding, and as she loved n as much as she
did the others, their names were to pc
placed in a hat and drawn out, and the
one that came out first was to get her.
On the day set each man was there IN a
wedding suit and the drawing began:
The first name was that of Frank Hlb-
Ter, now deceased, and the wedding was
about to take place when one of thes suit
ors, shocked by his disappointment,
tainted, and after he had fully recovered
the lady married him in preference to the
one that was drawn. The successful man

Actor KendaIl's Models.

For a long time it has been a question
as to where the comedian, Ezra F.
Kendall, who appears at Miners Theatre
next Monday evening, obtained the
character of the old farmer. While in
conversation with one of Mr.. Kendall's
friends yesterday the following facts
were gathered:-Several years & Ken
dali was transforming around the small
towns of New York and finally arrived
at Postandyille and put upat Ira Stevens
hotel. The company were on their last
legs, and after performing there stranded.
The members scattered out, some going
to New York, some to Pennsylvania and
others elsewhere. but Kendall stayed in
town studying up some scheme to get on
the road again. Finally he got Land
lord Stevens Interested in a play; a COM
pany was organized and started out. 1t
did we'll for a time and then collapsed.
In two months Kendall was back to the
hotel 'sbusted" and again in debt to the
landlord. Like most country..hotels this
one had a stable in its connection where
farmers could feed their horses. One
day Kendall walked up to Stevens and
said:-"See here, l w you and you
know / haven't any money to pay you;
now, can't l work it out in some way?"
"Well, what do you want to do?''
queried Stevens.
Anything that's handy" replied Ken
dali.
II want a man in the stable to take
care of horses" said Stevens with a
smile.
s.I'l take the job,'' said the actor, and
at once prepared for his duties as hostler.
Mr.. Kendall worked in the stable for
several months, during which time he be-
came acquainted with many farmers,
among whom was a celebrated horse
doctor who advertised himself as DR..
Menlo Medicus, and he studied their
characteristics. He left the stable to
take a position with a company and
while travelling, put together I'VE, Us
& Co.," making the character of the old
countryman for himself as studied out in
that New York stable. This is how Ezra
Kendall became DR.. Menlo Medicus and
Jiles Button. Old Ira Stevens always
speaks of Mr.. Kendall as .''mysboy,n an6
the two have kept up a correspondence
ever since.

A Boxing Complexion.

"Do you see that girl" said a lady to
her escort at the Metropolitan Opera
House the other evening. "She is rather
plain, and ordinarily might attract no at
tention on the street, but as she is usually
seen promenading Broadway, half the
men admire her beautiful complexion.
And 1t is natural, too. Every afternoon,
before taking a walk, she and a friend
put on the boxing gloves for an hour.
They whack at each other over the
cheeks and necks till their faces are Grim
son, then dress hurriedly, rs dressing IN
haste goes with women, and walk up n
down the street while the color is on. Be
fore the complexion has become normal
in it's tint they return to their home.
Gradually they have made a reputa-
ton for having the rosiest cheeks of any
women in New York. AS they sit there
in the front row now you can see how
pale their chicks are naturally, and how
white their necks. On the street they
are the healthiest looking girls in New
York.-BaltifROre AmeTicdn."

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.


OahNAAAAbO OA hC OPA
Leon Albeit is the candidate of the
people. 1t was the people and not
the leaders that called him once more
to take up the cares of the Guberna-
torial office. 1t was the people who,
by their unanimity, swept aside all
opposing claims and placed him, the
single object of their affectionate
choice, upon the head of the Demo-
cratic State ticket. And he had no
need to make a single appeal to his
party. His services to the party and
to the State We're his only advocates.
When elected Governor in 1883, he
said.-"I shall have no client but the
people, and grandly he fulfilled that
pledge.
1t was he who smote the tax exemp-
tions of the corporations and wrung
FROM them the great revenue which
abolished q State tax on the people.
1t was he who first struck at that per-
nicious doctrine of i~rrepealable privi-
leges and forced a powerful railroad
corporation into a compromise which
ended a charter privilege e~ntrenched
in a decision of the United States SUI
preme Court. 1t was he who discov-
cred and exposed a trick of railroad
bookkeeping by which the State had
been deprived of about one million
dollars of its dues of which, thanks to
Leon Albeit, at least half a million
will be recovered for the public
treasury.
Services like these are cherished by
the people of the State of New Jersey.
The State is richer by about a million
dollars annually as the result of Leon
Abbett's first term as Governor, it is
securer in it's material welfare in con
sequence of laws which he procured
to be enacted, and every taxpayer is
richer in his possessions because of
the adjustment of the State tax, due
alone to the courageous and able man
who said when he wa inaugurated
that there should be no more State
tax levied on the people.
Leon Albeit is the peoples can
didate. The Democratic party has
nominated him by reclamation, and
the people will elect him by the
biggest majority eve given to a can
didate for Governor of New Jersey
Neaoagk Journal.
They Have No Union.
Now that the Democrats of New
Jersey have placed Leon Albeit in
nomination by reclamation, public at
tention is directed to the Republican
Convention which meets at Trenton
| on Tuesday next. While the Demo
Gratis are united as to their candidate,
their opponents are divided, having a
number of aspirants for the nominal
ton. The principal candidates, how
ever, seem to be General e. Burd
Grubb, OF this county, and John
Kean, Jr., of Union. South Jersey
will back the General, and east Jer-
sey, now that ex-senator Fish and
Grigg have withdrawn, will rally
strongly around Kean. Nevius, OF
| Monmouth; MCGOWAN, of Mercer,
| and Clark, of Union, are still in the
race, but well informed men are OF
the opinion that it viii be Grubb,
Kean or, possibly, Halsey, of New
| ark.-Bordentoson Register.

big Leagues, two mines we're formed, and
a full nine-inning game was played that
