These booths were, however, vigila ntly
guarded by the police. and there were
numerous patrolmen around, who were
certainly not In sympathy with the hood

which proved quite as potent to conceal as
to protect. Two men putting their heads
together, with head screen descended to
the waist, might be plotting for the good Of
their country or against IL. The ''dim re-

drawback to the suffers and window
magicians.
1t was an open secret from the momen {
that the polls were opened south of Market

was little use for them during the day. Oc-

AN ELECTRICAL WEDDING.
At Which Guests Were Served Will
Something Out OF the Usual.


Something Out OF the Usual.
Philadelphia Enquirer.
That was wonderful electrical display
at the wedding of Miss Lydia Miller and
Mr.. David ROsenbaum at Baltimore on
Tuesday evening. Alter the marriage GER
emony had been completed the bride and
groom took their positions against a back
ground of potted plants and flowers set
against screen of evergreens. The Balti-
more Sun says that tiny incandescent
lamps were concealed In the foliage of the
screen, and glowed and disappeared irreg
ularly. like hrefies among the
trees. Electrical butterflies and
birds perched among the leaves and flow
ers. Overhead was crown OF Chinese
lanterns. each containing sixteen candle
power lamp. The bridal arch of evergreen
under which tie newly married pair stood
70 receive their friends was provided with
a row OF electric lamps in red, white and
blue. On top OF the arch was perched an
American eagle, ana on the shield of pink
velvet. which formed the keystone of the
arch, was outlined In incandescent lights
the figure of heart, the initials of bride
aud groom, and the date 1892. Two bronze
statues stood guard at the entrance of the
room, ana the helmets were Illuminated
by incandeseent lamps.
The electrical wonders did not stop here.
The most ingenious feature of this UNIQUE
wedding reception followed In the scatter
ing OF shower oil rice and Imitation snow
flakes, by two electric fan motors, placed in
the gallery overhead. A the guests entered
the supper room there was q sudden out
burst of electrical bells and musical enter
tanments. As the guests were seated there
was blaze of light, and at the completion
OF the first course the words Good Luck"
appeared over the heads of the newly mar
rled couple. and an electric hair pin, a gift
to the bride. became incandescent and sur
rounded her head with a halo of light.
Wine bottles were suddenly transformed
Into glowing eandelabra. The feast was
one long continued series Of electrical sur
prises, and however the guests at ordinary
weddings may feel, the guests at this we'd
ding must have thought that they were
amply reeompensed for their outlay in we'd
ding gifts.
The Baltimore attempt to make weddings
entertaining and to give the guests belt
return than Is customary for their trouble
and expense may or may not be elsewhere
Initiated. Democrats may object that such
weddings would lend to the increase Of lux
ury and extravaganza. Nervous people may
not relish the startling suddenness with
which banquets are made to bloom with a
blaze of light or the mysterious ringing Of
bellsor the sounding unidentified music.
Nevertheless q good many people besides
the bride will remember this wedding for
many day.

HOW POLITICIANS BET
Enormous Sums Wagered in
the City.
Harrison Opened but Cleveland Closed Favorite
Ebert Great Fsrorits for Mayor
Against the Balance.

The betting on the election In this city
was the heaviest seen for years. Perhaps
larger individual wagers were made in the
old times, but this year the new poolrooms
have given such extra facilities to the general
public to gamble its money in small
amounts that tie rush of betting has ex-
ceeded anything experienced in Saa Fran
cisco sporting circles for many elections
past
The principal center where speculative
politicians wagered their money was at
Nose Gunst's cigar-st0re, and that world
famed sport had before II o'clock last night
undertaken the custody of upward Of
S165 600. The bulk of this money was bet
at the rate of 100 TO so that Cleveland would
carry New York City, and the layers of
ODDS have consequently won the good
money. A large part Of this enormous sum
was put up at eYens on the general result
be ween Cleveland and Harrison. Munich
pal politics showed Ellert to be favorite for
Mayor, with 0'Donnell as second choice.
The rooms of COrbett * Co. were packed
TO the doors last night with huge crowd of
bettOTs. SO great was the rush that Harry
CoTbett and his staff were unable to handle
the entire business themselves and sent for
and engaged the services of the weli-known
Chicago bOOkmaker. w. Gardner, who is in
the city fer the bl0Od-hOrse races. They
took in $50. 600 at COrbetts alone last night
Jim Corbett sent $500 from New York to
bet on Cleveland. and early in the day odds
were to 10, with Harrison fay0rite, but
they took an astonishing switch in the early
part of the evening" and the closing price
was 8 to l on Grover.
For the local candidates Ellert ruled
favorite for Mayor at even money against
the neld, to 5 against 0Donnell. to
against Eastcn and to l against Barry
| Baldwin. For Sheriff Blattner was favorite
at evens. to was bet against Scott and 2
to / against McDade.
The minor pOolrooms also did good busi-
ness, their process being copied from the
more prominent establishments.

WOMAN FRIENDSHIPS.
Delightful Relations Between Members
of the Same Sex.
Harper's Bazaar.


One OF the pleasantest Of friendships is
that between young and a mlddle-aged
woman (rhere are no old women nova
days.) IL the two women are of exactly the
right sort the friendship is almost an ideal
one. There can be no jealousy. The elder
woman is too old to be envlons of the
younger, either of her loves or her
companionship. The younger feels the
superiority of her youth too keenly TO
care for the regard cherished by the
older for her contemporaries. But each
possesses charm to which tue other re-
turns with never-ceasing delight
The older friend smiles over but rejoces
in the freshness and ardor. the eager antici-
patton and daring impetuosIty of her COM
paBion. She speaks no word Of discourage
ment. 1t Is beautiful this demanding
youth, this splendid eudaeiiy, 10 which all
earthly achievements are possible. II Is the
highest earthly wisdom to recognize that all
this enthusiasm is needed for the lessons
which divine wisdom shall teach
And the younger woman, pouring ont her
hopes and expectations, her passions te long
ing and wistfnl imaginings. feels strongly
the mellow graciousness which experience
has brought. Dimly she wonders at the

An Incident In the Life of the Arml ess
Artist In Antwerp.
Philadelphia Times.
In the galleries of Antwerp there is q man
who sits and paints with his toes. All the
visitors stare at him, but he goes on with
his work as though he were machine.
A lady, however. saw him display eXtraor-
binary emotion little time ago. She was
sitting near when a letter was handed to
the artist He took Ii In one foot ana a
dexterOus toe of the other slit side of the
envelope open. The letter came out and
was read with a visibly falling face and
distressed look. The armless man evil
IDENTIFY had bad news. He Tefolded the
sheet, toe gliding along the edges, creas-
ing them exactly as you use your thumb
when in a meditative mood. Then the foot
came up to the breast pocket and tucked
the letter in.
This was all done so easily that it seemed
impossible these feet were not hands, but
when foot flew up to the face and with
the back OF the big toe brushed tear from
the armless mans eye then indeed he
ceased to be machine.
He rose, slipped his feet into low shoes
and went sadly into the street.
