1t Was Made With the Consent of Miss
FuIIer's Psrents-while the Lady Was
Ill the Ceremony Took Place, and She Is
Now Recovering.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ia dis
patch was sent out from Washington the
other day in regard to the recent marriage
of Miss Mary Fuller, daughter of Chief
Justice Fuller, and Colin c. Manning, son
of Ex-Governor Manning, of South Caro-
lima, which recently took place in Italy.
The story, in effect was that Manning had
followed the young lady to Europe and had
persuaded her to marry him, in spite of the
strong opposition of her parents. The men,
bers of the family of the Chief Justice
say the story has but one element of truth
and that is the fact of the marriage. All
the picturesque details of the opposition of
the Chief Justice to this marriage are pure
inventions and cruel to the last degree to
Mrs. Fuller, who has just returned from
Europe, after spending many weary weeks
at the bedside of her daughter.
Mrs Fuller says that her daughter went
to Berlin while in poor health to finish her
musical education, but that soon after
reaching there she grew much worse, and
Mrs. Fuller was summoned to her bedside.
Sne now says that II 1t mad not been 1or MI.
Manning she would scarcely have been able
to hold up during the long journey before
she reached her daughters bedside in Ber-
lin. For days and days they watched the
invalid, and just as soon as it was
possible for her to be removed they took her
down to San Reno.
Her condition became again so critical
that her life was despaired of, and Mrs
Fuller felt that the devotion of Mr..
Manning should receive its reward. The
bans were put up, all the necessary condi-
tioHs complied with, and the marriage took
place at a moment when it seemed as if the
bride would scarcely live another hour.
But from that ON decided improvement
was noticed in the invalid, and the fort
night longer that Mrs. Fuller stayed with
the happiest bride and groom in all the
world she could see her daughters strength
slowly but surely coming back.

CUMBERLAND, MD. Feb 19.-[ Special l.
For several days past numberless rumors
have been afoat in this city concerni ing the
funds and the management OF the Cumber-
land poStofice These rumors were caused
by several visits of two special postoffice
inspectors. Postmaster J. W. Shuck said:
Il am not an embezzler, nor am 1 a de-
faulter, nor do L owe the Government
cent.
It appears, however, that last Friday,
after inspecting the accounts, shortage of
S4O0 was found, which was at once made
good to the Government by Mr.. Shuck.
The inspectors have temporarily suspended
Mr. Shuck and turned the postofice over to
his bordsmen, who appointed John j.
Schiller, ex-President of the Board of
County Commissioners temporary post
master. MI. Shuck appeared before Robert
R. Henderson, United States Commissioner,
to-day The affidavit charged J. W. Shuck with
embezzlement of S400 of the money order
funds and appropriating it to his personal
use. Mr.. Shuck pleaded not guilty, and
waived an examination until the next term
of the United States Court. He was placed

chocolate colored), the gun had much the
best of it. Mr.. Cook started ont well and

bird the match was tied and Mr.. Cook
missed his 24th, MI. Denny taking the lead,

&c to Marvin's and Get Delicious Pancakes
While You Wait

In the big show window of Marvin's Fifth
avenue store apretty girl, baking pancakes
ard distributing them on dainty plates to
the ladies, is attracting a great deal of at
tention. 1t is always pleasant to see a
pretty young woman performing household
duties, but it is more than pleasant when
you are permitted to sample the work of
the young woman aforesaid and find it as
near perfect as things can be made in this
world.
The young woman in Marvin's window is
using Marvin's famous self-raising pancake
-four. Almost every lady in Pittsburg
knows the virtues of this -four, but there
are few who do not, and it is for the bene-
fit of these few that the pancakes are being
baked and distributed.
To say that they are delicious is putting it
mildly. They are simply perfection in the
pancake line Ladies should go down and
try them.
