THEY PREVENTED THE WEDDING.
A Mob Of Women Did Not Want Widow of
Tive Weeks to Marry. and She Didn't

CINCINNATI. May 16.-A mob of fully
seventy five determined women caused IN
tense excitement In the streets of CovIng-
ton, KY. this morning. which was intensi-
fed when the object became known. The
purpose of the women was to prevent
wedding. They succeeded. The objection
to the marriage lay in the fact that the
woman had buried her husband only two
weeks ago. The demonstration by the in
dIgnant neiGhbors was SO full of de termin-
alton that the bridegroom hastily fed by
the back way. and the widow herself left
the house to prevent further trouble.

Good Accounts, but Hard to Collect.

The collector of one of our largest coal
houses told me yesterday that it was an
utter impossibility for him to get in any
money. Said he: II went out this morn

toners, aggregating $4,000, and after a

The collector of one of the principal

in to pay their feed bills and their men
at the close of each week. Not" said

A station master in petticoats! Such
was the specticle which, according to an
amusing story which reaches us from a
provincial quarter, presented itself to
the gaze of the bewildered passen-
gers as the train in which they were
travelling steamed into small south
ern town yesterday morning. The sta
ton master, with his silver braided cap
and uniform coat, but encircled as to
his waist with voluminous jupe which
descended to his heels, had bounded on
the platform, apparently unconscious of
the odd figure which he was cutting,
and it was only when roars of laughter
greeted his appearance that he became
aware of the very unofficial and I'M
masculine character of his neither habili-
ments.
1t was all the fault of refractory
goat. His wife had been in the habit of
going out early to milk this animal in
provision of the children's breakfast.
She had gone away on visit and her
household duties had devolved on her
husband; but there was the rub. The
goat, accustomed to the woman, would
not let the man approach her. The
station master, however, was not to be
baffied. Downing petticoat left by his
wife, he returned to the charge, this
time with success; but just as the milk
can was full he heard whistle, and
his professional avocation,
hurried back to the station, oblivious of
the queer costume in which he had dis
guised himself for the purpose of enter
ing into the goats good graces. -Paris

THIS Is PRACTICAL EDUCATI0N.

A sensible feature in educational de-
partures and one that should become
popular is the school for the instruction
Of pupils in the production Of milk,
cream, butter and cheese which meets
in Madison Wis, this month. We
know OF no department of knowledge
that comes closer to the hearts OF the
people or is at greater distance from
their brains. Indeed, we fancy that if
hard pressed, our friends the professor
emeritus Of protoplasm, the latest and
most brilliant light in theosophy, the
distinguished savant in evidences of
realism would unite in signing an afiida-
Wit that tho authority on milk, cream,
butter and cheese Is really the king be-
fore whom all others dwarf. They know
the vast and unreachable extent of his
knowledge better than all others though
they have no greater appreciation of
the beneficent results if practically APP
piled. For instance, a fellow of the
Royal Academy renowned for discoveries
in vague and uncertain fields of his
speciality, drops down at the breakfast
table after a weary nights work. The
milk does not reach anticipated flavor,
the cream lacks customary sweetness,
something is the matter with the cheese
and when he detects a suspicion Of ram
cidity in the butter the climax is
reached. "Great George Henry" he
cries, twill the vast realms of unfathom-
able science ever be surfaced with the
head of a man who knows how, when
and where to produce palatable milk,
cream, butter and cheese"
1t is gratifying to know that America
is, as usual, at the front with innovations
in higher education. The term of the
school at Madison will begin this norm
ing and will last three months. Lectures
will be delivered by eminent professors
from agricultural colleges and sound in
%struction will be given in detail. Ordi-
narily we would have as much confidence
in the opinion Of an agricultural profess
sor on milk, cream, butter or cheese as
IN the ability Of a professor of psychol-
ogy to read the winner in a three card
game. The fact that the school is to be
held in Uncle Jerry Rusk's state leads
us to think that it will be a thorough
success.
