He MARRIED TIE CULrRlT.-ln Inc
Buffalo, n. Y, police court on TUESDAY
Frederick Riedeman, a well-to-do Bui-
folio man. was married TO Anna Haas,
of Brooklyn, who at the time was IN
der sentence for larceny. The woman
went there from Brooklyn about three
months ago, and has been employed rs
governess in the family of Dr. Clark.
The doctor missed some Jcwelry ana
clothing, and the articles were found III
Miss Haas's trunk. When arraisncd
in the police court she pleaded guilty
and was fined $50, which she was IN
able to pay.
Riedeman, who had known her
slightly, was present in court, and jok-
inclv offered to pay her fine if she
would marry him. He didn't back out
when she promptly accepted the oiler;
but insisted that the ceremony should
be performed at once before the fine
was paid.
The weeping girl agreed. Judge
King refused to marry them, and the
bride appealed to Alderman Jimmy
Franklin, president of the baseball
club. who was so taken with the come
illness of the bride that he performed
the marriage, and offered to advance
the $50 if necessary. Then Judge
King relaxed, and reduced the fine to
$50 -,
Ricdeman keeps a restaurant. The
couple will visit Brooklyn on their
honeymoon. In the police court Miss
Haas gave the name of Smith.

to make womankind abhor it. 1t was of
dark blue velvet, and was bordcred with
fur. The revers and collar were of pale
blue broadcloth, richly embroidered in
silver, gold and blue. Across the front,
which simulated vest, were four bars
of gold braid, worked with blue, and
with gilded pendants. The sleeves were
wide pulled and had wide cuffs turned
upward.
Worn with this was II hat of fearful
and wonderful make, with blue velvet
ribbon and cornflowers. The dress worn
with it was a plain rep silk in pale blue,
garnished with dark blue velvet ribbon.
This cloak was for grand ceremony.
In contrast to that is diagonal chev-
lot in soft, indistinct color. between n
mode and regular Quaker drab, with
a black thread traversing it diagonally.
The full skirt has three lines of the finest
soutache braid set above three others.
The jacket is trimmed in the same man
ner with fine braid and plain horn but
tons. The skirt of the jacket is full III
the back, and there are two horn but
tons there also. There is storm cape
to go with this really handsome walking
suit, with double collars, which makes
it quite warm enough for the coolest
weather. Some ladies have toques of
the same material as their walking suits,
trimmed simply, but prottily, with vel
vet and possibly couple of mercury
twigs. OLIVE HARPER.

Duffy and Hamilton of Philadelphia have
been exceptions to the rule. Both are
small in stature, though stockily built, and
they rate among the leaders of the League
batsmen. Duffy is also an excellent fielder
and brilliant base runner.
Mccarthy, like Duffy, is little man, but
good 'sticller" He is also known as n
tricky player" In this last respect he and
Duffy work like n team. They are togct her
in the hating order and aid one another
more in making runs than any other two

Mccarthy have done more than any other
couple on the Boston team TO keep the
championship in that city, and for this rea

He made his best record while member of

year he played in St. Louis and the year be
fore he was member of Anson's team,
but he has done better work for the Bostors
this season than he did for either of the
other two clubs.
Carroll's great weakness has also been
his fondncss for liquor. That vice pulled
him down from his former we'll earned rep
