More a Bride.
Welded TO TWO AT A TINE

An Authorized Statement Made for
the Family Adds n Heretofore Un-
known Feature of the Affair-Big.
amy Back of the Wedding.
CHICAGO. Sept. s1.-Another social
sensation to which Miss Gertrude Whit
ing Potter, daughter OF o. w. Potter,
the millionaire president of the Illinois
Steel company, is party, was devel-
oped Saturday afternoon. AT the resi-
dence of her parents in the Virginia
apartment house, shortly after noon,
she was married to Julius Clarke
Daniels, of New York city. The groom
is % years of age and son of George
H. Daniels. general passenger and
ticket agent Of the New York Central
road. The bride is 20 years of age.
An authorized statement made for the
family adds heretofore unknown fea-
ture of the affair.
The Statement.
"December 81, 1880, julius Clarke
Daniels secured from the county clerk
of Cook county a license to himself un-
del the name of Julius Clarke, and to
Gertrude Whiting Potter, under the
name of Gertrude White, to marry.
Acting under that license Julius Clarke
Daniels and Gertrude Whiting Potter
were, on Jan. /, 1890, unitedin marriage.
Subsequently Miss Potter submitted
to legal counsel the question of the va
hdity of her marriage with Mr.. Daniels,
and was advised and believed that such
marriage was invalid. She then in
formed F. Lee Rust of the ceremony
performed on Jan. / between herself
and Mr.. Daniels and of the advice
which she received. Thereupon, both
parties believing they had right to do
so, a ceremony OF marriage was per-
formed at Lake Geneva, Wis, on June
Q, 1891. Both of the ceremonies re-
ferred to were secret and were unknown
to the parents of any of the parties con-
cerned. The ceremony of June s, 1891,
was first made known to the parents by
its publication about week ago. At
that time they were also first informed
or the previous ceremony of marriage.
The statement then goes on to give
the details of the suit for and decree Of
annullment of the marriage with young
Rust and continues as follows:
"No actual necessity existed for any
decree of court annulling the marriage,
which was in fact void, but the same
was secured for the reason that the in
terests of all concerned made it proper
under the circumstances stated. Sept.
10, 1891, Julius Clarke Daniels and Miss
Gertrude Whiting Potter were again
united in marriage at a ceremony per-
formed by the Rev. DIR. Stryker, Of tAe
city of Chicago, at the home of Miss
Potter's parents, in the Virginia hotel,

HUNTINGDoN, Pa, Sept. 2l.-The cat
tie in this and adjoining counties are
being attacked with peculiar and thus
far unidentified disease, which in nearly
every instence proves fatal. This dis
ease first appeared about two years ago,
and already hundreds of cattle have
perished. When attacked the animal
falls helplessly, and its legs seem
unable to bear the weight of the body.
The disease is supposed to be of sporacic
origin and bears some resemblance to
actinomycosls, which some time ago
was prevalent on the continent.

MAKING VINEGAR.
How to Dispose of a Good Share Of the
Farm's Apple Crop.

Farms Apple Crop.
One of the common uses now made
of the apple crop in many sections is to
convert large portion of it into vine.
gar. With many farmers this has en-.
tirely superseded making cider for a
beverage, and from the fact that less
care is needed in gathering the fruit it
is found fully as profitable. When
made in large quantities the process
begins as soon as enough apples have
fallen from the trees to furnish a sup.
ply.
The apples are ground in mills as for
cider, and the juice may be expressed
at once, but more commonly the pom
ace is kept in watts or hogsheads until
it has fermented and become quite sour
before the pressing is DONE This sour
cider is then allowed to settle and is
run into barrels, but not quite full.
Throughout the fall season these bar
rels should be kept in the sun, covered
with loose boards as protection to the
cOoperage, and the bungs should be
left out until it is necessary to remove
them for the winter. The bungholes
should be covered with bits of thin
netting that will keep out insects with
out excluding the air.
Experience has demonstrated that a
barrel contains about the right guam.
tity of liquid, and an open bunghole
gives sufficient exposure to the atmos-
phere for making vinegar of the best
quality by this slow, natural process.
Some dilution with water is often nee
essary where the cider is so rich in
saccharine matter as to prevent its
length of time.
Vinegar barrels should be iron
hooped and be kept well painted to re-
sist exposure and prevent leakage.
The natural process will require year
or more of time to produce an article
acid enough to meet the requirements
of the market, but it will continue to
grow stronger by age, and will admit
of sufficient dilution TO compensate for
loss by evaporation and leakage.
The natural process of vinegar MAX
ing may be accelerated by occasionally
running the cider from one barrel into
another and thus exposing it for time
more fully to the air. Adding a gallon
or two of strong vinegar or Il little
mother to each barrel of sour cider is
another method. Still another method
is trickling it down through beech
chips or shavings and corncobs satu-
rated with strong old vinegar
