The Bride a RavIshinE blonde and a
Brilliant Musician and Conversational
list of saugertIeE, N. Y, While the
Groom, the Son of a millionaire. Halls
from Brooklyn.
SAUGERTIEs, N. Y, Dec. 23.- ro-
mantle echo of prize beauty contest
still resounds in two homes, one in
Brooklyn and the other in this pre- tty
Hudson River village of SauRerties.
The acknowledg ed belle of the town,
and one of the most famous beauties in
this part of the State, was married yes
terday evening to Albert D. Steenken,
a millionaire metal dealer, living in
Brooklyn.
When the newspaper which started
the con test published the pictures of 40
of the most beautiful women in the
country, Miss Matte Adams. the bride,
was one of The ladies so honored. Each
picture was designated by the name of
one of the States of the Union. 1t fell
to the lot of Miss Adams to represent
Texas, and the citizens of that State
could not but feel gratifted at the for
tunate selection.
Miss Adams or Mrs. Albert D. Steen-
ken, is an exceptionally beautiful girl
of % years. She is blonde of the mos t
ravishing type, having wavy yellowish-
brown hair clear blue eyes, cameo-like
features and graceful and delicately
carved figure. Besides these charms,
the bride Is a gifted musician and a
conversationalist of rare ability.
The groom is twenty-six. He will in
herit the greater part of his fathers for
tune, which runs into the millions. His
father owns enormous interests in the
National Lead Trust and has monop-
oily of the sulphur and nitrate of silver
business in this country.
The romance of the wedding comes in,
according to the friends of the couple,
who say that the groom fell in love with
the BRIDES picGure when it was pub
lished. His business took him to SAu-
gerties very often, and in time he OBJ
tanned an introduction to the lady who
became his wife.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
Lewis B. Adams, and her fame as q
beauty is known far and wide.

MRS. ossoRNE's SUIT.
It's Ending Causes a Great Sensation 1
London,

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The startling de-
velopments and sensational lending of
the case of Mrs. Osborne We. Mrs. Har-
greaves has furnished a fresh topic of
conversation for scandal loving London.
The sensation commenced at the sudden
adjournment of court on Saturday and
eliminated when Sir Charles Russell
retired from the case yesterday.
In anticipation of the promised sensa-
ton the Court of Queens Bench was
packed, and a deadly silence rsigned in
the court when Sir Charles Russell
counsel for the plaintiff, SO soon as the
proceedings had been opened, arose and
slowly and deliberately said that he was
sorry to announce that he was COM
PEELED to retire from any further con-
nection with the case and to admit that
the jury must render a verdict for the
defendant.
Sir Charles Russell's words it may
easily be imagined, created profound
sensation and caused a fiuttering and
whispering from one end of the room to
the other.
Without waiting for this excitement
to subside Sir Charles continuing, said
that, in addition to announcing his
withdrawal from the case and his adj
mission that the jury must find for the
defendant, counsel must say that the
serious imputations made in court and
out of court against Major Hargreaves,
Mrs. Hargreaves and ANOTHER" under
stood to be a Mr.. Engelhardt, must be
withdrawn, as there was no basis in
truth upon which to found them.
The jury, after being in consulate on
and being placed in possession of GER
tain documents, confirmed the announce
ment made by Sir Charles Russell.
Mrs. Osborne, the plaintiff, was not
present in court, but her husband, who
was deathly pale from nervous excite
ment, was there to represent her.
AS the court was being cleared, ru-
NOR was circulated to the effect that
Mrs. Osborne stole the pearls in order
to save her brother from disgrace, the
latter being at the time the jewels were
missed in a state of desperate indebted
ness
Thus ends a most sensational socie ty
libel suit, for it is not believed that
Mrs. Osborne will be prosecuted, her
husband having, it is announced,
agreed to settle all legal and other
claims which have arisen out of his
wife's unfortunate episode.

FAITHFUL OLD BILLY.
How a II orse Protected the Young L.ist rel


How II orae Protected the Young Mistress
1t Loved.
The sagacity of some animals is both
amusing and wonderful That Of the
horse is very remarkable, and IN many
cases elicits the admiration and praise
of its master, man. Ever kind and af-
fcctionate, he is doubly SO when kind
and considerate attention is bestowed
upon him.
Sister May, visiting her cousin Ella
in country village, relates the follow
ing:
81 arrived about five o'clock at my
destination. Cousin Ella was absent,
SO took a place at the tea-tab BILE with
the family, sitting in Elias accustomed
place by the window. I had been seated
but minute when something touched
my shoulder, and, on looking up, was
amazed to perceive horses head rest
ing there I was very much frighteded,
but aunt told me not to be alarmed, for
it was Elias PETITE old family horse;
he had come for some dainty that he
had been accustomed to receive al this
time from her hands.
Zone very sultry day, shortly after
this incident, we-myself and Ella
took our books and some luncheon to a
neighboring lot to enjoy the pleasant
shade and have quiet time. After we
| had been seated few moments heard
| somebody coming, and told Ella we had
better go home. She replied:
"'No, so long as Billy is near US,
pointing to the horse that was grazing
short distance from us-'so long as
Billy is near we are safe. If he hears
them he will prick up his ears;' and, az
if suiting the action to the word, the
creature did slightly raise his head and
gaze intently at the intruders, for they
were tramps, and no doubt Billy com
pretended it fully.
"'Look, May!" exclaimed Ella, he il
coming toward u.s.
"'No, he isn't I said; he is eating
grass very quietly
| "'You watch him. she said, and no,
let him see you looking, and you'll fine
he is coming
| 81 waited, and soon found she wal
| correct the faithful animal gradually
| approached until he stood almost di
rectly over us, completely shielding III
| from view, and we had the satisfaction
of seeing the tramps pass through thu
field without discovering our retreat
after which Billy went to grass, or
more properly speaking, returned tx
clover.-N. Y. Advertiser.
