interesting things in New York, and ]

couple Of young men throwing out the
patois in solid chunks and hunks.
Don't yez be jollyin' me. See said
one. "Yoa cant give me the gee.
See?

"gee," brt the & seems to be pronounced
hard-as hard as the young man whom
heard. suppose the sense Of to "gee"
or TO Jolly" is that otherwise expressed
by the pleasing verbs TO kid, to stuff, "
to "give breeze" but from what store
house of philology have to Jolly and
to give "gee" been drawn! Is gee"
an extension of the truncated initial OF
that sweet, thrilling word CUFF! Is
Jolly" merely variation of the French

where Spools Are Made.

oxford county, Me-, turns out nearly
all Of the spools on which the thread of
this country is wound, said wholesale
notion dealer. THE spools are made
from white birch timber, and they are
produced by the million in Oxford coun-
ty. There are many other points in west
ern Maine, also, where the industry is
important There are many sawmills in
that part Of the state which are kept
busy the year around saving white birch
logs into strips four feet long and from
one to two inches wide and of the same
thickness.
These strips are sent TO the spool fae-
tories, where they are quickly worked
into spools by most ingenious labor saw
ing machinery. The strips of white birch
are fed into one machine, and they are
not touched, in fact are hardly seen,
again until the spools, all finished for
market except polishing, drop out by the
bushel from another machine several
rods away from where the strips started
in. The spools get their gloss by being
rapidly revolved in barrels by machinery,
the polish resulting from the contact of
the spools in the barrel.
"In the backwoOds villages of Oxford
county one sees scarcely any other in
dustry but spoo!making, and every one
is in some way interested in the business.
The factories have been eating into the
Maine birch forests for years, but there
seems to be enough left yet to feed them
well for years TO come. Hundreds of
thousands of feet of logs are cut and
sawed into spool timber annually

HARTFORD SOCIETY STARTLED
over the secret Marriage Of a Prominent
Young Couple.

OteE tht oi ~
Young Couple.
Hartford, April l3,-IIartford society
is wondering whether the young couple
who rushed into matrmony yesterday
will be welcomed back and forgiven BY
the groom's wealthy mother. The groom
is Marcus Munsill, who has just passed
his majority. His mother has large an
nual income from royalties on "A patent
process OF manufacturing condensed milk,
invented by her father, the late Colonel
Gail Borden.
The bride, Miss Eva Graves, is the
yougest daughter Of Colonel L. NJ. Graves,
who has been an editor OF papers in Hart
ford and New Haven, was colonel on Gov
ernor Walters staff, and is at present in-
terestcd with Governor Waller in placing
English capital in this country. The
Young lady is only is. Because of her own
and the young gentleman's youth Nun
sill's mother has opposed the marriage.
Society circles have understood. however,
that the wedding was arranged for DC.
tober and it was known that young Nun
sill began this spring the erection of 6ne
residence in a fashionable quarter OF the
city.
A quarrel, reported to have occurred
Monday between Mr.. Munsill and his
mother, doubtless precipitated the mar
riage, which occurred at the parsonage of
the Memorial Baptist church yesterday
with no witnesses other than a few in
innate friends who had been admitted to
the secret. The young people left town by
the first train.
Mrs. Munsill is thoroughly angry, and
positively refused to talk about the mat.

Likely to Ne Reopened Through the 40
t'on OF New York's Presbytery.
NEW YORK, April i3.-1'here il great de-
preston among the faculty and officers Of
the Union Theological seminary at the un-
expected results OF the election for dele
gates TO the Presbyterian assembly. Rev.
DIR Briggs said yesterday that lie and his
friends lad scarcely thought OF the pos
sibility Of the New York Presbytery turn
ing against them at this time. Ii was,
however. he said, plainly due to the fact
that the other side had made better prep
arations and was better organized for the
election.
Owing TO his delicate position in tho
matter, DIR. Briggs said hedid not feel like
discussing the subject further. The
defeat Of the Briggs party, it seems,
was mainly due To the absence of
n number OF DR. Briggs staunchest
friends. A number OF other men. also,
who promised TO vote for Briggs delegates
were found on the other side OF the house
when the vote was taken.
Rev. DIR. Thomas :. Hastings. the presi
dent OF Unio Theological seminary, said
that he considered il deliberate blow
~ the seminary that his nominee, Pro
fessor Francis Brown, should not have
been elected delegate to the general as.

Engravers at the Pacific Mills Print
Works Get Their walking Papers"
LAWRENCE, Mass, April 13.-The en-
gravers of the Pacific mills print works
are all idle They asked for reduction in
working hours, and being refused, said
they would strike, and all were forthwith
discharged by Agent Parlow.
Some months ago the organized en-
gravers Of the country decided to ask for
fewer hours after April They desired
half holiday on Saturdays in the winter,
and in the summer wanted three hours
less work every week, and no reduction in
pay. The request was simultaneously
made, and in some places it was granted.
The Pacific mills officials not only re-
fused to comply with the demands of
their engravers, but all who left received
their bills of discharge, yet it is thought
concessions will be made. The locked-out
engravers held meeting at the Essex
House, but decline to furnish any report
of the proceedings until after the mill
managers in Boston have been consulted.
