A stunning and decidedly sensational
wedding occurred in Odessa the other
day. Marc Pogorezky led his blushing
bride to the altar. While the Russian
priest, or pope, as he is called, was pre-
pairing to perform the ceremony. Marc
went out to get drink, saying that he
would return in a few moments. in his
absence. however, a handsome young
stranger approached the bride and Of
fered himself as a substitute. She i'm
mediately accepted him, and the pope,
who was half drunk, never nouiced the
change. The ceremony was performed.
just then Marc reappeared, refreshed
and ready for matrimony. But when
he found out what had happened he
proceeded at once to paint the church
red. He thrashed the bridegroom,
slapped the bride, knocked down the
father-in-law, punched the pope, and
Kicked the mother-in-law. He was ar
rested; but as the case involves ques-
tion of ecclesiastical law, it was referred

knock was one with whom, much against
her will, had left machine on trial q
month or two before, and had only taken
it back after repeated protestations on
her part that she did not want it. You
understand, we used to get a machine
into house by representing that we
would leave it on trial.
But once we got into the house we In
sisted on its being bought, and used every
persuasive art to accomplish that result.
Frequently this was very embarrassing
to the lady Of the house, and she never
forgave as for the annoyance OF leaving
the machine for weeks and asking her
every other day If she wouldn't buy,
when she had emphatically declared she
would not. Now was the turn Of the
young lady in the old fashioned house
to get square. And although the rain
had nearly washed the machines out of
the wagon, she slammed the door in my

face bubbling over with smiles. When

HARD MAN TO CATCH

The Counterfefter Who Copies Uncls
Sans Notes with PEN.
The most remarkable counterfeiter at
present living. so . Washington Star
reporter was informed, has been keep
ing the United States Secret Service in
such condition Of evaporation for .
long time past that no trouble Or ex-
pense would be considered excessive for
the accomplishment OF his capture
And this, although he produces ON an
average not more than two bogus notes
in year. The remarkable thing about
these limitations are that they are
executed entirely with pen. Once in
six months, almost as regularly as clock
work, one of them turns up at the treas
ury here, to the disgust of the Govern
ment detectives. whose utmost efforts
can not discover so much ns clew to
follow. The strangest point about the
matter is that the work Of producing
the bills in this fashion, merely con-
sidered as question of labor, remunera-
tive or otherwise, can not possibly pay
They are always either fifties or TWEEN
ties, and to make one must require
pretty const ant toll for quite half .
year. The last one, which was received
few days ago, was double x.
Funny enough they come each time
from different city, and the suppose
tion is that the forger leaves town for
another locality Immediately upon
passing one. He gets rid of the note he
has just completed, which may remain
in circulation for some time before
reaching bank. and departs long be-
fore the police agents have a chance to
arrive upon the scene. The most
plausible theory seems to be that he is
monomaniae of means. who gratifies .
morbid taste in this astonishing way.
His imitation bills are so perfectly done
that no one short of a professional ex-
pert would hesitate to take them for
good money. From the vignettes to
the signatures the work is performed
with an accuracy Mat bears
scrutiny with powerful magnify
ing glass. In all likelihood the
reason why the notes are not made Of
larger denominations is that they would
be proportionately more difficult to pass
One can imagine that this eccentric
counterfeiter INDUCES in the employ
ment simply for the qualification of his
vanity. Il is not improbable that he
himself has been shown the frame at
the treasury building in which two
specimens of his handiwork are shown
by polite attendants to visitors as the
most extraordinary samples of forgeries
in the government collection. Anyway
he goes on turning out the bills at regu-
lar intervals of six months, thus occa-
sioning periodical spasms of exaspera-
ton in the Secret-Service bureau.
