well known for his forcibie and witty
expressions, and his eloquencs is of that
peculiar kind where humor and pathos
is blended.
In THAT Boys Sister" last evening he
was extremely happy. There is no rea-

Kitchen, the nursery and the parlor She
should be as graceful in the nursery as in

The audience at the Academy OF Music
last evening was the largest, with one
exception, that has been there this
season. Not more than half-a dozen
seats were unoccupied, while three Of the
boxes were also filed. Sheridan &
Flynn's Vaudeville Company was the
attraction, and they received a mixed
reception. IL was case where the
greater glory dimmed the less, and for
short time after the appearance OF the
dlenroy Brothers it was difficult for any
performer TO get hearing. The audi

He Finds His Ideal.
It was while decorating the house OF
David p. Smyth, No. 1904 Vaa Buren
street, that the romantic young man found
his ideal in the person of Miss Matte
Smyth, youngest daughter of thu Market
street jeweler. The affection he con
caived for the young woman was
evidently reclprocated, for after he had
finished the work Of decorating the
house he received an invitation from
Miss Matte to call This mutual friend

weeks the young couple were engaged to
be married.

Woodrow rented house at No 111S

The wedding day was to be in October

While there they had a disagreement

alternative but to declare the engage

his absence, and when reporter called
upon him at that time showed evidence
that he had been drinking heavily to
drown his sorrow. he said the separa

actions Of Miss Smyth and her extrava-
giant demands.
On the other hand the Smyth family
eontended that the engagement was
broken OF on account of his dlssolute

A Georgia Snake story.

There is story going the rounds down in
Georgia that the other day one of three
ladies, while crossing road, accidentally
stepped on snake The serpent coiled it.
self tightly around the lady's ankle and
the effect was electrical. His snakeship
had hoped on a dynamo without know
ing it. The lady turned on the power, and
after describing two or three sharply el0n-
gated circles with her heel in midair, the
snake, unable to stand the pressure. re-
Taxed his grip. and sailed back to earth,
and fell near lady No. 2. He rather liked
the fun and Immediately hitched onto No
Q in the same manner The curtain was
rung up, and the fun began without delay
Slzz went the lightning pedal violently,
with an engine lever motion, and swash
went his snakeship through the air. Un-
able TO hold on, he turned loose, and
dropped at the feet of No. 3. Quick as
thought he tackled the next dynamo, with
the same result
Here it occurred for the first time 70 the
gallant little snake that he was in Georgia
and that Georgia girls were electrical, and
that Georgia people are never so happy as
when they can tell lie on a snake, and
that about the best thing he could do just
then was to escape to the woods before he
was sized up and examined carefully for
rattles. After thanking the ladies for the
entertainment he made his bow and sought
the timber This is the gist of this Georgia
story, with many of the details omitted

firemen the flames spread to Water street
and to the rag warehouse of Jessup q
Moore adjoining the burning oil store:
In short time the warehouses at 127, l3l
and 1-3 Water street were ablaze. Phillip
and Charles Porter, of engine company
No. 90. were injured by exploding oil while
fighting the fire. and Frank Lowrey Of
truck ID was hurt by fall from ladder
It was while the fire was at its height that
the walls of Jessup e. Moore's warehouse
fell in, burying several tiremen beneath
them The buried men were gotten out as
quickly AS possible, and as far AS known
at this time. none were killed, though all
were injured more or less. At O'Clock

fire practically under control. The loss is

following response:
This is 10 certify, that [, Carl Vanhoff,
am willing TO marry Lima Dohbert, pro-
videt that l can do so by proxy, as ! am

General O'Berne thinks, that conduct
ing proxy marriages is somewhat out of
the scope of his duties, aud if Mr.. Van,
Hoff does not spare the time to come on and
marry Lima himself it is probable that she
will be sent back to Germany.
