THE Governors vetoes of the appropria-
tions for the Philadelphia Geological Garden
and Memorial Hall are sharply criticised by
some of the Philadelphia papers, but they
will be approved by the rest of the State.
Both of the objects to be benefited by the
vetoed appropriations are entirely worthy,
but they are distinctly local in character
and benefits. If this end of the State had
asked for an appropriation to aid the Car
negie Library or Superintendent Meningitis
collection in Schenley Park, the veto would
have been equally well applied.

THE report comes from Brazil that the

yesterday by the presence near the edge of

some relation between the spots and the hot
weather, the second appearance has been
by delightfully."- clear weather and

Remarkable Effects on Corn of Insufferable
Hot Winds in Iowa.

WATERLOO, IA, June A.-To-day has been
the hottest of the season, 800 in the shade at
noon. The sun has been obscured by clouds
most of the time, the excessive temperature
being due to a hot wind which has prevailed
all day. The leaves on trees are curling up,
and the grass is badly scared in places.
1t is thought the hot winds will not do
much damage to crops, owing to the moist
condition of the ground from recent rains
Corn, by actual measurement, grew over
three inches to-day, and experts say tonight
will be good for two more.

How He Valued the Bride.

"IN the course of pretty long and varied
experience in weddings" said clergyman
to me yesterday, 81 remember but one oc-
casion when a bridegroom voluntarily
doubled the fee had suggested. 1t was not
the practice in those days in the Ohio town
where was located for the clergy to charge
anything for their services at weddings,
although the law fixed the fee at two dol
lars. One night was summoned at very
late hour to marry couple of young people
from the Kentucky side of the river,
who had eloped and were then in
hiding at the hotel. 1 stumbled
up the dark stairs of the old hotel
and entered room where a rough looking
farmers boy met me and introduced q fine,
handsome girl, whose look was downcast
and forlorn, as his bride-to-be. The cloud
lifted from the Blue Grass beauty's face as
the solemn bonds were forged, and when 1
closed the book and shook the groom by the
hand the bride kissed me without being
asked.
"What's the price, parson?' he asked.
'1 told him that asked for no fee, but that
the legal charge if ne had a mind and the
money to pay it was two dollars.
"'Two dollars?' he echoed contemptuous-
ly-'Ain't she worth more than thatP III
pay five for her right now and he handed
me five dollar bill"

Slightly Out of Tune.

"a FRIEND of mine who was married this
month had a curious experience" said a
Pittsburger to me yesterday. "It was to be
a church wedding, and they had some idea
of asking friend to attend to the musical
part of the ceremony, but decided not to for
fear of hurting the feelings of the regular
church organist, who had grown gray in that
position. The customary rehearsal of the
ceremony at the church took place, but the
organist did not appear. He sent word, how
ever, that he guessed he knew what was
wanted well enough, and would be on hand
with suitable music on the eventful night.
They had to be satisfied with this assurance,
for it was too late to make a change III the
cast, as 1t were.
"But the bride and several others who
ganist were a little nervous about the char
acter of the music he would choose for the
occasion. They were hardly prepared for
what awaited them, hoHever. As the bridal
but hardly appropriate strains of The
Campbells Are Coming burst from the Or
gan, and it was awfully hard for the ushers,
bridemaids and the bride to march up the
aisle with slow and solemn step, while the
music invited them to hurry to the time of
'Teerumpity, tumpety, tumpety, tumr
They had to do it as best they could, and
the principals and the congregation drew
deep breath of relief when the clans had
gathered and the music ceased.
another surprise was in store for them at
the end of the service, when, instead of
Mendelssohn's glorious wedding march, or
the numbers so often used from Tam
hauser' or Iohengrfn,' the rollicking
chorus from The Mikado' beginning, He Is
Going to Marry Yum-Yum,' put dignity and
whole church laughing in a mild, religious
way"

In a country town not far from Pittsburg
young carpenter was recently elected JUS
tice of the Peace, and, as he was very unso-
phisticated, theNfirst time he was called upon
to marry a couple it caused him no little en-
barrassment. The ceremony was very brief
and to the point, and, in fact, consisted of a
couple of questions and sentence of matri-
mony from the Justice will you have this
man to, be your husband?" he asked the
bride; and then turning to the groom he
said: "Will you have this woman to be your
wife?" and with no further remarks pro-
nounced them married.
'You see," he explained to the happy pair
after this trying ordeal, give not had much
practice in splicing, and 1 guess I can't do
the Job up in good shape-but if you should
want any carpentering done, or house
built this summer, believe could satisfy

In Hymen's Ante-Room.

"wHo would think, to look at that man,
that he was going to be married to-night?"
was the remark of Penn avenue barber as
a man with long hair and bushy whiskers
left the shop. He did not look like candi-
date for matrimony, and somebody in an
other chair suggested that he was a widower
with seven children.
NO" said the barber, looking up from the
razor he was stropping. "He amt no wild
over. He was the best-looking man as come
to this shop tilllas December. Then he got
kinder off his feed; began to let his beard
grow, an come down to one haircut in six
weeks, an act up as if he was loonatic. You

Nearly Married the Wrong Couple.

IT had been arranged that the happy pair
should descend the stairs and meet the min
lister in the hail, where the ceremony should
be completed. The house was small one,
and by the plan suggested it was thought
that the high contracting parties would
have a greater amount Of room, and the
guests a better chance to see all the pro-
ceedings than if the wedding were to be held
in the parlor.
The minister was in readiness, therefore,
to receive the bridal party at the
foot of the stairs at the appointed
time. He was not very well acquainted
with either bride or bridegroom, and
he was exceedingly short-sighted to boot
1t happened that the bridemaid and best
man came downstairs first, and the minister
perceiving their bridal attire gently mo-
toned them to halt and began to read the
marriage services. There was nobody in
authority within reach of the minister and
he calmly went on with his exhortation for
q minute or two, and by that time the bride
maid and best man had edged off on op-
posite sides and allowed the true affianced to
reach the front. AS the minister was not
quite sure what had happened he judged it
best to proceed with the service.

The Leavenworth Case Dramatized.

p THE novel, "The Leavenworth Case,n by
Anna Katharine Greene, has been drama
tized by the author. and on Monday last she
disposed of the right to produce it in Amer
lea, England, Australia and elsewhere to
William Haworth, the actor, and his man
ager, Allan j. Shedden. If the play retains
the popular characteristics of the novel it
will be a great card for Mr.. Haworth next
season-he will play HdTl0eu, the secretary
and murderer in the book-and the wide ad-
yertisement the book has received will un-
doubtedly serve the play considerably. Mr..
Shedden writes that theatrical experts in
New York consider the purchase of Miss
Greene's play great stroke of luck, and he
feels justified in expecting it to prove SEN
tiations for Mr.. Haworth Manager Shedden
has been equally successful, one of the re-
suits being the acquisition of Katharyn Kid
der as leading lady. Miss Kidder is an
actress of great ability, which she may have
cultivated by her two years. stay in Europe.

NEW YORK, March 31.-GeneraI Leman. who
mas Just returned from Kingston Jamaica
Tells a story which up to now has been kent
from the public. Among the numerous war
vessels IN Kingston harbor during the festiyi-
ties attending the industrial exhibition was the
Russian manot-War Mimi. One darI, niqbt
while nearly all her officers were at ball. two
OF the crew went over the side of the vessel and
swan to shore. Of course the men were missed
next morning and the captain of the shin sent
marines ashore to capture the deserters. Bv
iieagmng with the Kingston police the marines
located the deSerterS in an old negros hut a
mile away from the town. They were retaken
without any trouble and returned to the shin
Then the captain, resplendent in his official
braid and uniform, went ashore and asked per-
mission OF the British authorities to hang the
two deSerterS from the yard arm of his vessel in
Kingston harbor. He said he wished to do IT as
an example to his other men and intimated
that the captains of the other foreign vessels in
the harbor would not object to such proceed
lngS. OF course the authorities would not
listen to the Russians proposition and rave
him hint that if the men were hanged while in
British waters, the captain undoubtedly would
meet his death the same way in the yard OF the
jail. The Russian returned to his Ship gave
orders to weigh anchor and in an hour the
Mimi was we'll out to sea. What follows the
gent eman says was told him by one Of the Off
GERS. Wnen the Mimi was exactly three miles
out the captain had both men in irons brought
on deck before the rest of the crew and read q
lengthy manuscript detailing the gravity of the
crime of desertion. Both men were told to con-
fesS that they were guilty They did SO and
the captain pronounced the sentence. The man
who went over the side first was strung up to
the yard arm, while his companion was keel
hauled. The latter was kept under water so
long that the ships surgeon had difficulty in re-
storing consciousness. The business being dis
patched, the Mimi returned 10 Kingston and
the captain and officers took part the same
evening in the entertainments.
