THE BRIDE CARRIED OFF.
Held Prisoner All Night by Her Father,
Who Had Objected to Her Marriage.

''The police do not interfere in love affairs, .
was the information given Henry May at the
sixth precinct station Monday night. Only an
hour or two before that Henry had been united
In marriage with Miss Emma Smoot, and sub
sequently the brides father had carried her of
and maze her q prisoner. The complaining
groom Is about nineteen years old and his
bride is only a few months his junior. The
young lady's father, Lieut.. Edward d. Smoot OF
the District national guard, is employed at the
government printing Office as a compositor.
The young mans father is employed in the
same Office as book binder. He lives at No.
81 K street northeast and the Smoots live in
the adjoining house. Mr.. SmOot objected to
his daughter receiving the young mans atten-
lions and so the young people met and courted
outside. Monday they were married IN the
presence OF witnesses and went at once to the
bridegroom's home, No. 81 K street. to cele-
brate.
THE BRIDE CARRIED OFF AND LOCKED Up,
Mrs. Smoot was waiting for her daughter
return home, but she did not come. Next door
the wedding party was in full blast, and the
mother Of the runaway girl soon learned what
was going on.
When Lieut.. Smoot came home and heard of
what had happened he and Mrs. Smoot talked
the matter over and the police were appealed
to in vain. The angry father then determined
to take the law into his own hands, and early
in the evening he called at the house of his SON.
in-aw. His daughter was there to greet him
and he was ready to greet her. Picking her UP
in his arms he carried her home and locked
her in a room. His action cast a gloom ON the
merry party, and the youthful husband ap-
pealed to the police, as stated above. His APP
peals were in vain, for he compelled to
spend the night in his fathers house while
his pretty bride was separated from him by a
brick wall.
A SURRENDER.
AL day yesterday the groom tried to get his
wife. In the evening he was successful When
he visited police headquarters in the after
noon he showed Detective Horne the marriage
certificate and told him of his troubles.
How much is she worth to your" asked the
officer.
The groom only blushed and smiled.
If she's worth anything" continued the
officer, you can replevin her."
District Attorney Hoge was interviewed and
he suggested writ of habeas corpus as the
bridegroom's remedy. 1t was a pretty expen-
slve one and the young man thought he would
try other means first. A lawyer was obtained
aud Lieut. SmoOt finally reluctantly surren-
dered his daughter to her husband.
1t appears that yesterday afternoon the
young husband took the advice of Mr.. Albert
Sellers, an attorney, who had an interview
with the brides parents, in which he gave his
opinion that the law ON the side of the
young couple, they having been married by
Rev. Mr.. Seymour of the Fifth Congregational
church. The parents then agreed to accept
the situation, and the young bride went to her
husband.

The ROYAL Midows Of Eurona.

There never were, think, so many
royal widows in the regal circles of
Europe in existence at one time as
there are at present. Beginning with
Queen Victoria, the Empress Eugene
and the two German expresses, Au-
gusta and Victoria, there are now
Queen Christina of Spain, the Ouch,
ess of Albany and, latest of all, the
Grand Duchess Stephanie, whose aunt,
the mad Empress Carlotta of Mexico
has never put on widows weeds, as
she is in daily expectation of the arri-
val at her present home of the Emper-
Or Macmillan. What brilliant des-
tiny that unfortunate prince threw
away when he left the charming
shades of Miramus to run after the
will-o'-the- wisp grandeurs of vision
airy empire in the new world. He would
have been now, by the death of his
nephew, Prince Rudolph, the heir to
the Austrian throne, and popular and
beloved as he was, he would have been
rapturously- hailed as the future en-
peror by the nations under the sway
of Austria. Napoleon Ia did his most
fatal work when he lured the intelli-
gent, amiable Macmillan from his
conjugal happiness and the brilliant
possibilities of his future, to work out
his own sinister designs, which were
not for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the un-
fortunate archduke, nor even for the
regularization of French claims
in Mexico, but which were sim
ply covert acts of hostility against
the United States. Il have carved
you an empire out of a block of
silver" was the remark of Napoleon
to Macmillan when the latter came to
take leave of him. 1t was not an en-
pire but a sarcophagus that the crown
ed Mephistopheles had followed out
for his luckless guest, and not from a
block of silver, but from one of gran
ite-not in sunny Mexico, but in the
dim funeral vault of the Hapsburgs. -

improvement in Clubs.

Time was When looked upon the so
called social clubs, of which there are
fully a couple of hundred distributed
over the city, as nursebeds of vice and
training schools of hoodlumism. Nv
views have undergone a decided
change of late years, in keeping with
the change in the conduct of the clubs
themselves. Five years ago the clubs
were for the most part organizations
OF very bad boys, and their meetings
were simply beer drinking bouts, but
now many of the clubs have finely
equipped quarters, and the member
ship is composed of hard working and
respectable young men, who meet
really for improvement. l do not
mean that there is much about the
nightly sessions thatsuggests the Chau-
tauqua circle or the society for ethical
culture, but they do meet and enjoy
themselves with singing and musical
instruments, reading of papers, and
books sometimes, or a social game of
cards. The social club results in keep
ing boys and young men off cor
ners and out of bar rooms. Particu-
larly is the good effect of the club sys-
tenn noticeable in the comparative alb
sence of gangs" who stood on the
corners and made the life of the pc
destrian a burden.-Police Captain in

1t The freezing takes forty eight
hours. The tank they have just emp
tied will be filled soon, and a new
block OF ice will be taken from it on
the day after tomorrow.
Now, it seems that this freezing
takes place so gently that a spray Of
roses may be put into tank Of water
and frozen into the mass of ice with
out stirring a petal from its place.
There it lies imbedded. in ali its
beauty of form and color-a marvel
Gus thing, think. The icemakers

shows the clearness of their ice; and
pride is taken in freezing pieces of un-
usual beauty and transparency.

OF ripe fruit, or a brilliant colored fish
are tavorite subjects. Exhibitions Of
such freezings are occasionally made
at fairs, and a particularly beautiful
or interesting piece makes very at
