THE appearance of two professional
burglars upon the stage OF the Peoples
Theatre in Chicago has evoked a great
deal of criticism from Chicago pulpits.
The burglars crack safe in melo-
drama in highly professional way. and
the audiences seem to enjoy this bit of
realism which the ministers condemn.
The burglars themselves hold their
heads very high, and affect to hold the
mere actors in great contempt. The
actors have Indignantly protested to the

A Romance Of Middle Age.

Three carriages drove up in front of
st. Stephens Protestant Episcopal
Churcn. yesterday morning little after
ten o'clock, before the regular service.
Out of the first stepped tall, hand
some, middle-aged blonde gentleman,
who, hat in hand, helped buxom,
good-looking, brunette lady OF about
30 from the carriage. With the friends
in the other carriages they stepped into
the vestry, where the Rev. DIR. Neon
mel, who was waiting, soon made Isabel
Henderson Reid and Robert NJ. Floyd
man and wife.
The lady lisa daughter of Peter Hend-
erson, the famous New York florist and
millionaire. There were present Peter
Henderson, father OF the bride, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin Floyd, father and mother
of the groom; Master Westworth Floyd,
his little son, and Jean Reid, the pretty
ten year old daughter OF the bride. Mr..
Floyd is of Chicago, but of late has been
residing in Philadelphia.
A few hours after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs. Floyd started for Washington
on their wedding tour, and on their re-
turn will reside at 1,605 North Fifteenth
street.
The wedding has connected with it a
very pretty story. Fourteen years ago
they were lovers and engaged, but the
young lsdy's father said no and they
had to aoquiesce. In the meantime
each married, and as the years went by
he became a widower and she a widow.
They met at party, and now the widow
and the widower are united in ''the old
love. PHILADELPHIA Times.

twenty nine million feet of pine lumber
was surveyed, and this is not far from
the average yearly survey for the years

Mass, that Mrs. Frank De Groote, of
that place, had given birth to four girl

more about the Texas sextet. So he
wrote to the Postmaster of Corsicana,

An Illinois notion for making church
sociables pleasant is to give each person
a card on which u dozen names are writ
ten, and the recipient Of the card must
talk five minutes to each one whose
name is on the card. At the end of each
five minutes bell sounds and CONVERSE
ton must cease and new partners be
found. This scheme is said to be death
to wall flowers and cli1ues, and Of great
advantage to the social success of the
