The groom, Mr.. George Alexander Lock
cit, of Liverpool, had for his best man Mr..
H. c. Nelson, of Liverpool, but no one
noticed them. The lovely Miss Emma
North and her nine bridesmaids dazzled
the eyes of all in the crowded church. The
BRIDES gown was of white duchess satin,
the front covered with fine point de gaze
lace and the long train edged with the
same. Her tulle veil covered a tiara of real
orange blossoms, which was fastened with
q diamond crescent and diamond bar
She also wore a pearl necklace, with dia-
mond and pearl pendant, diamond buckle
and diamond earrings.
The guests included long array of bar
ons and knights, with other eminent but
untitled people, and the wedding presents
were wonderful for number and elegance.
Among them were a diamond tiara, dia-
mond and pearl pendant and other beauties
from her father, diamond earrings and the
finest piano made from her mother, dia-
mond butterfly brooch from Lord Roths-
child, silver table dishes from Alderman
Knill ands wife Che is now lord mayor of
London), and long list of delicate articles
in gold, silver, lace, glass, and rare woods
and precious stones. In short, if it were
permissible to use slang, an American
would say in conclusion that our old friend,
Colonel North, evidently "got the stuff"
he went for and Is ''well heeled."

MARY DOYLE.

theless married an honest man named Ed
Miller. He enlisted in the Union army
early in the war, and that was the last she
ever heard of him. She afterward married
Doyle, we'll known thief who died five
years ago. So far as her record is known
she has committed but one class of crime
sneak thieving-and has always been found
with the same implements of her work,
chisel and a bunch of skeleton keys. An
other feature of her career is that every
offense she has been charged with was
committed during some public excitement.
Her first appearance in Elizabeth was
thirty years ago, when she sneaked into a
room of hotel just when an exciting
piece of war news was being discussed and
stole a box IT silverware. She was SEN
fenced to three years imprisonment for
that, but only served fourteen months.
The day after Lincoln's assassination
Harrisburg bank lost a box containing
$1,000 in greenbacks and $1,000 in govern
ment bonds. The theft was committed
while the excitement over the news from
Washington was SO intense that business
was practically suspended. A woman was
seen to enter the bank and loiter about the
counters, apparently listening to the ex-
citing news received and discussed. When
she left the bank the cashbox was gone.
1t was never recovered. Mary Doyle con-
fessed to Chief Tenney that she took that
box. A considerable part of it went as
forfeited bail for the crooks she befriended.
Her biggest haul was the theft of $4,000
in bonds, ''face value" which she supposed
to be of the United States. They proved
to be 'Fenian bonds" and she has hated
the Irish ever since. Her detail Of prison
life is monotonous Again and again has
she been condemned for short terms, and
always went at once to stealing as soon as
released. She remains in prison at Eliza
beth awaiting trial, and the story goes that
publisher has offered her $1,000 for the
story of her life

A Goldfish Has Sport.

Twas much interested one day in the
actions Of goldfish in stn aquarium.
The fish was resting quietly within a
few inches of the surface, when it sud-
denly elected fish scale from its
mouth.
AS the scale was slowly sinking, the
fish suddenly darted downward, drew
the scale into its mouth and rose toward
the surface, where it remained motion
less for several nome nts. The whole
performance was repeated several times.
Whatever may have been the exact
motive which prompted. thess actions on
the part of the fish, we may fairly con-
clude that the object was recreation

His Hair Turned Black.

Up to a few months ago Jacob Lauck,
aged sixty-seven years, residing IN Berke-
ley county, w. Va, was the possessor of a
snow white head Of hair. But in recent
months gradual metamorphosis has been
taking place in this respect. 1t began with
the appearance Of few hairs of an in.
tensely black color, which gradually be-
came more numerous until, at the present
time, very few white hairs can be seen in
his head. Mr.. Lauck and his neighbors
alike are at complete loss to account for
the unexpected renewal of youthful hue

A DEAD SHOT

right at the seat Of difficulty, is accom-
plished by the sure and steady aim of
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Don't
fool around with pop-gun, nor q
Flint-lock," when this reliable "Win-
chester d" is within reach!
DR.. Sage's treatment of Catarrh in the
Head is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results in permanent cure.
Don't longer be Indifferent to the yeri-
fed claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap-
pear with the use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case, or of how long standing. It's
a remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands of
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in
it with money. They offer $500 reward
for . case of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It's a medicine that allows them to
take such risk.
Doesn't common sense lead you to
take such a medicine?
'sAn advertising fake" you say.
Funny, isn't it, how some people pre-
fer sickness to health when the remedy
is positive and the guarantee absolute.

NANSEN'S NEW SHIP.

Both stem and stern are considerably
curved, as in the buckle boats, but by an
ingenious arrangement the rudder will be
entirely submerged, and both it and the
screw may be raised when necessary and
protected from damage in well. The
stern is furnished with two perpendicular
sternposts-one a propeller post, the other
a rudder post. Outside these on both sides
are bolted curved oak timbers, which give
the vessel it's whaleboat appearance. Be
tween them is the well for both screw and
rudder. The frame timbers are as strong
as the ribs of leviathap. Ice sheathing
protects the whole hull, but should this be
chafed through II thick inner coating of
asphalt will still protect the ship. There
will not be any projection below water that
the ice can get hold of.
1t is not easy to state the number of lives
lost in attempts to navigate the arctic seas
or reach the pole. Yet there is a fascina-
ton about it which attracts as many as
ever. DIR. Nansen's boat, with its little

rhs ohinaman,. ..Yellow oath..


One of the strangest judicial proceed
ings perhaps ever witnessed is that Of
the Chinaman taking what he is pleased
to call the yellow OATH" The ''oath"
or declaration is always written on q
piece of sacred paper, and is as fol-
lows:
'"This is to call the spirits, both good
and evil, to descend and watch over the
trial of --, who is charged with
numbering If swear falsely
and tell one untruth, or do not make
statements according to the facts in the
case, humbiy beg the celestial terres-
trial spirits to redress the wrong done to
- and to punish me Immediately
for having been a false witness; to ar
rest my soul in its fight; to make me
perish by the sword, or to cause me to
die while on the sea far from home.
This is my true and solemn oath, uttered
by my own lips, and signed by me this,
- year of the reign of the Emperor
--; and in proof of the earnestness
of my declarations, may my soul be de-
stroyed as now destroy this paper-by
fire." Immediately after the witness
finishes reading his "yellow oath" a
lighted candle is handed to him, and the
paper is given as food for the flames.
To the writer's certain knowledge this
form of oath has been administered but
once in an American court of Justice
during the trial of Wong All Foo, who
was accused of numbering Loi Ah Gou
at San Francisco in 1885. In China the
candle used in this extraordinary cere-
monial is made from the fat of criminals
who have undergone the death penalty.
