Way back in the morning twilight of
the settlement of Boston, Maria Lee, a
colored woman of gigantic stature, pos
sessing the courage of a lion, kept a sail
ors' boarding house down at the old
North End, One night a party of drunk
en- tars got into a row and began throw
ing the chattels out of her house. The
watch was called in, but was soon
overpowered and dismay spread abroad
through the street. Then Maria stalked
out of her habitation and stopped fur
Their outrage by ~collaring two of the
leading offenders and carrying them
bodily up the old watch house." then

crosses Hanover street. "Black Maria"
vas known throughout the city for her
prodigious strength, and for years she
aided the police in quelling rows and
had been known to take three strong
men to the watch house at once, or at
one time. So, years afterward, when
the first police ''cart" was made it was
called the "Black Maria''-hence the
name.-Boston Globe.

An Important witness Dead.

DENVER, Aug %. Sands +. WILDER,
perhaps the most important witness in the
governments suit against the Bell Tele-
phone COMPANY was found dead in his bed
to-day. His death was evidently the re
suit Of hard drinking. WILDER was chief
clerk in the electrical department of the
patent Office at the time the Bell tele
phone model was submitted and patent
applied for Subsequently WILDER ac-
knowledged having been bribod by the
Bell people. but denied this on the wit
ness stand, causing the government a set
back in Its presentation of the case.
Pending the trial of the Bell case
WILDER was placed in charge of a secret
service officer who brought him to Colo
RADIO in hopes Of breaking him of the
drinking habit. In this the officer was
successful for a time. For a year WILDER
has been conducting the patent office in
this city. He was a cousin of President
Hayes and was considered one of the best

h Puts on the Fun Addres. Now.


A young woman in Washington has
been weeping big, bitter tears of brine.
She wrote to Jack some weeks ago, and
Jack never answered her. She waited,
but in vain, and finally when she passed
Jack IN the street she cut him dead.
Then she went home and played weird,
melancholy minor waltzes on the piano
and read novels with lots of love and
suicide in them.
And Jack-poor jack He went from
claret soda water to real beer. Instead
of smoking two cigarettes a day he con-
sumed a whole package before dinner.
He went for hours without brushing his
clothes, and didn't care whether his neck
tie was up over the top of his collar or
not.
Recently the postman rang the door
bell at the young woman's house and left
a letter. There was a note on the back
of it which read:
Miss -: The next time you
write to Dear jack put his full name
and address on the envelope"
She grasped the fearful truth at once
The secrets she had intrusted to those
pages had been exposed to tho gaze of a
lot of heartless, jeering, lead letter
clerks; and all because in a fit of loving
absent mindedness she had forgotten to
put anything but Jack on the envelope.

grace of former days.-Washington

Not all the time of the beautiful
orioles was passed in contentious; once
having placed themselves on what they
considered their proper footing in the
family, they had leisure for other things.
No more entertaining birds aver lived in
the room; full of intelligent curiosity as
they were, and industriously studying
out the idiosyncrasies of human sur
r%oundings in ways peculiarly their own,
they pried into and under everything
opened the match safe and threw out the
contents, tore the paper off the wall in
great patches, pecked at the backs of
books and probed every hole and crack
with their sharp beaks. They ate very
daintily, and, as mentioned above, were
exceedingly fond of dried currants. For
this little treat the male soon learned to
tease, alighting on the desk, looking
w;stfully at the little china box whence
he knew they came, wiping his bill, and,
in language plain enough to q bird stu
dent, asking for some. He even went
so far, when l did not at once take the
hint, as to address me in low, ~coaxing
talk of very sweet and varied tones.
Still l was deaf, and he came within two
feet of me, uttering the half singing
talk, and later burst into song as his
supreme effort at pleasing or propitiating
the dispenser of dainties. l need not
say that he had his fill after that.-At-
lantic Monthly.

A FREAKS MARRIAGE.
He Puts ON the Ring with His Teeth and
Fishes Out a Fee with His Toes.

He Puts on the Ring with His Teeth and
Fishes Out a Fee with His Toes.
A very unique marriage was cele-
blated in Squire Hauser's office yester-
day afternoon, the squire officiating.
The bride was Miss Jessie Troeger, who
lives at the corner of Main street and
McMicken avenue. She obtained some
celebrity two years ago by leading a
strike of the mattresses in Rockwell's
restaurant. She is 20 years old. The
groom is Charles K. Adams, better
known in the dime museum world as
the Armless Wonder. He was born
without those useful members OF the
body, and in lieu of a better and more
profitable mean of livelihood, hired
himself out to dime museums. Adams
is now about 30 years of age, and bar
ring the lack of arms is a fine specimen
of physical beauty.
The absence of arms is little felt by the
Wonder, however, for he has become
very expert with his toes and mouth.
He can thread a needle or write n neat
letter with the former, while with the
latter he paints dainty little pictures,
decorates chinaware, etc., holding the
brush between his teeth.
When the couple entered the squire's
office the other day and said they wanted
to be united in wedlock, that official was
perplexed for awhile.
"How a you join hands?' he asked
blandly, pointing to Adams.
"Oh, that is easy enough" said the
pretty bride, who stood fully three heads
shorter than the groom. and she reached
up and grasped the stump of his unde-
veloped left arm with her right hand.
See" she said, as she stood smilingly
on her tiptoes.
But the ring. How can he put the
marriage ring on your fingerf'
'In this way" said Adams, and the
astonished officials in the squire's court
were thunderstruck to see the circlet of
gold between the armless mans teeth.
Bending his head he deity slipped it
over the girls finger.
Satisfied that the couple understood
their business, the squire went ahead
and performed the ceremony.
After being made man and wife Adams
sat down, and slipping the shoe off his
right foot, disclosing a stocking with the
front of the foot cut off, he reached into
his vest pocket with his toes and brought
out a roll of bills. Selecting a fvedollar
note he rendered it as a fee, and, putting
on his shoe, went away, his little wife
sticking close to him.-Cincinnati En-

A Touching Scene.

Annie Payne contributes the following

Hide me. o, my Saviour, hide" come to
us, sitting ~forlorn and disconsolate, in a
wrecked train, on the outskirts of a little
village way up in Maine, waiting for the
promised train to arrive that was to take
us onward. Turning to discover whence
the sweet sound came, we found a tiny
chapel just beyond, crowning a noble
hill surrounded by a beautiful grove,
which seemed to shelter it and its quiet
guardians, who so peacefully rested in
their narrow homes, from the inquisi-
tive eye of the passing stranger. We
o found our way up the wandering
path, and in a short time had quietly
slipped into the old fashioned, high
backed pews, and were listening with
bowed heads to the prayer offered up by
the white haired pastor, who in his
snowy robes looked a very patriarch.
There was indeed only 1.-TWO or three
gathered together" but none the less
earnest were the words of their aged
pastor, as he exhorted them in trembling
tones to seek that "home not made with
hands" to which he seemed so near-so
near that he was only awaiting his Mas
ter's call. 1t was only evening prayer,
but which of us who was so unexpected
ly called to Gods house by those simple
words, brought to us by the gentle
breeze, shall soon forget those few mo-
ments of quiet communion with our
Heavenly Father? And as we bent our
footsteps towards the scene of wreck and
destruction. from which wa hod baan @
me%rcifully preserved, it wa with a feel
ing of tender reverence hat we turned
to have a last look at the little village
church, athwart which the sunbeams
seemed to linger with a loving touch as
it shed its last golden rays amongst us.
