Last March he went to Ardmore, a

to make some money by giving public

here with two snakes, a copperhead
and rattlesnake, but the RATHER died

with only one snake. he took his flute,
the work of his own handicraft, and
started for the woods in quest of the
reptiles To the tune Of his own weird
music, like Jack the Piper, he
marched along. He returned to town
in about three hours with thirteen
snakes Of different species crawling
after him. Selecting few from among
them he exhibited his feats to wonder

breasted, entirely plain and belted by

blue velvet adorned by two small
ostrich plumes.
The bride made no display of jewelry,
but carried cluster of La France
roses.
The bridegroom is we'll known in
the younger set of Oakland society as
genial and merry young man. His
parents are in the swim in Oakland
and San Francisco society.
The bride has been in the full blaze
of public attention for several years.
She appeared when mere child as
claimant to the immense estate of
Thomas II. Blythe, and after a trial Of
great length she was declared by Judge
Coffey to be the natural child OF
Thomas II. Blythe, and entitled to in
herit his entire estate, valued at about
81, OOO,O 900. An appeal from this de-
cision is now pending in the Supreme
court.
During the several years that she has
been prominent character before the
public Florence Blythe, now Mrs. F.W.
Hinckley, has deported herself with
modest decorum, and the popular YER
dict has been most heartily in accord
with Judge Coffey's decision.
For the last few years Miss Blythe
has lived at Linda Vista, pretty
suburban residence, near San Anselmo,
Martin county, with Mrs. Perry,
grandmother Of the heiress. Mr..
Perry who was her guardian, was
killed by disaster while driving near
San Rafael.
The briee and groom will return in

manent home will be in Oakland.

FuLroN,s STEAMED NOR FIRsr


james Rumssy Of West Virginia Built
One In the Year 1855.
1t Is not generally known that the
first steamship ever built In the United
States was partly constructed in Fred
erick county, Maryland, in the year
1885. The vessel was built by James
Rumsey of Shepherdstown, W. Va.
Robert Fulton, with his Clcrmont, was
anticipated by Rumsey twenty-five
years. The steamboat was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured
at the Catoctin furnace OF the john
son Brothers, near Frederick The
boiler, two cylinders, pumps pipes, etc,
were manufactured in Baltimore.
Some portions Of the works were made
at the Antetan iron works. On
March II, l7sG, u public experiment,
the first ever undertaken in America,
according TO the brndrick News, was
made on the Potomac river. Rumsey
succeeded in atlaiulng - speed Of four
miles an hour a&4inGt tho current.
The steamboat Wag eighty feet long.
1t was propelled ny q Bleam engine,
which worked a vertical pump in the
middle OF the ycaa, by which
the water was drawn in at
the bow aad di charged by
the way Of horizontal trunk
at the stern. The boHt bore a load OF
three tons. The weight of it1 inacbin-
cry was GG6 paunds. Tho whole
of the machinory, including the
boiler, occupied q apGce but a
little over four feet squire Two dis
tinguished men were patronized TO
Rumsey's experiment-George Wash
ington and Governor Thomao johnson
Of Maryland. The experiment was
made In the interest OF the proposed
Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Rumsey
cleared and satisfactorily demonstrated
that boat could be propelled up
stream against the current.
Thus we find that the first steamboat
was propelled on the Potomac and a
portion Of the first machinery made in
Frederick county lO7 years ago.
