1t Was Merely a Mock Marriage.

Mr.. c. r. Hoskins, justice Of the peace at
Newport News, states that the story tele-
graphed from there that Miss Elizabeth
Clarke had been inadvertently married to a
Norfolk gentleman, as the result of a mock
ceremony performed in jest by him, during
an evening s. entertainment, is a malicious
fabrication. He says IT was telegraphed by
a correspondent who did not ascertain the
truth of his information before giving pub
licity to such a report concerning a
young lady so universally respected and ad-
mired throughout Virginia

washouts I'm Arizona.

The last place on earth from which
one would expect to hear of railroad
washouts, especially at this season Of the
year, is Arizona. That region has a rep
utation for aridity that is unequaled on
the continent. Iii generally considered
land of perpetual drought. 1t scarce
ly ever rains there at any season, and in
the summer time rain is regarded as
something unnatural.
But it has been raining like fury dur
ing tho last few days in Arizona. The
downpour has extended to New Mexico,
and there have even been heavy showers
on the Mohave desert in California. In
Arizona the freshets have been so VIC
lent that numerous washouts have oc-
CURED along the line of the Southern
Pacific. Between ella Bend and Lords
burg, N. NJ, track, trestles, embank-
ments and bridge approaches have been
carried away.
Three engines have been ditched and
temporarily disabled. Inconsequenceo of
these mishaps trains are delayed and
traffic generally interrupted. Yesterday
General Superintendent Fillmore was
principally occupied in reading kilograms
informing him of fresh damages and
matchmaking Arizona for being such
an Internally contrary country.
AS usually happens in arid lands, the
recent rains in the desert region between
Yuma and Deming have partaken of the
nature of cloudbursts. The tempest
breaks with sudden fury, and the rain
falls in torrents, swelling every dry
ravine into the proportions of rushing
streams.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Getting Fun Out ofpo1itics.

The truth is, people must either fight
or laugh, and we prefer to laugh. Once
IN awhile partisans get into hot do
bate and break the furniture, but as a
general thing we take matters good
humoredly, and if q reporter is really
witty we smile as broadly as circum-
stances permit. 1t is very interesting,
therefore, to read the comments of our
contemporaries. Here is The Tribune
for instance, with choice variety of
four line squibs every morning full of
ridicule of the other fellow. 1t has a
specialist who extracts all the wasp
stings that can be found and furnishes a
daily dish drowned i'll pepper sauce.
Some of them mako delicious reading,
not because they are true, but because
they are bright.
Then comes The Sun, sly old orb, with
wink in its left eye and u simulated
expression of indispensable indignation,
and pokes the enemy under the fifth rib
in such way that the rib is of no fur
ther use. The Evening Post is always
on horseback, and seldom IL day passes
that it doesn't plant its iron hoof on
some one, and The Commercial Adver-
tiser thinks that day lost "whose low de-
scending sun" does not look back on
some Democrat whom it has jabbed.
All this is agreeable, instructive and
interesting to everybody, except the po-
litical victims. The people road and
grin and enjoy perfect picnic when
ever there is Il party struggle ON the car
pet.-New York Telegram.

wartime shinplasters jus. na,,o.m.d

eiAAAo ~ usC AkeuSSueQ-
During war times the municipality of
Albany issued on its own credit fraction
al currency redeemable ON demand at the
city treasurer's or chamberlain's Office.
Most of the fiat money was redeemed
within the five years subsequent to the
end of tho war, and during the seventies
the chamberlain would be called upon to
change q few coins. 1t was believed that
all had been taken up.
Yesterday, however, Chamberlain Hills
was visited by two young ladies who
showed him n quantity of the currency
issued in 1862 and asked him what it was
worth. To the chamberlain's questions
as to how it had come into their possess
sion the elder replied that in looking
over the effects Of relative lately de-
ceased it was found stored away in an
old box along with many war curios.
Mr.. Hills promptly handed over the
counter in good bills the face value of
the money, between SEQ and $50.
a singular coincidence connected with
the transaction was that Chamberlain
Hills himself paid out the currency re-
deemed yesterday to the original owner
over 80 years ago.-Albany Journal.

Worlds Fair Box p rites.

Nearly every train that goes out of this
city for Chicago has several "box par
ties on board. These are entirely diff
ferent from the box parties at theaters,
but have been christened by the train
hands with the same name. They are
little groups of people bent on taking an
economical glimpse of the great exposi-
ton. and who, in order to cut down their
expenses to the lowest notch. have had
packed aGhome boxes of luncheon of suf-
ficient magnitude to last during the trip.
At each meal hour the members of the
box parties draw these boxes from under
the seat OF sit in groups with their
luncheon on their knees a,nl chat as con-
tentedly as if they were at a gorgeously
appointed hotel. Sometimes an exchange
is effected of a boiled egg for a tomato or
a bit of fruit for some ham. and the fell
low who has had the forethought to bring
few bottles of beer is prime favorite
with the other passengers. Philadelphia

His Carriage Driven by Nnphtba.

G. L. Sinonds of Lynn has made a
steam carriage for his own use that will
make 10 miles an hour. The carriage
weighs only 400 pounds and can carry
two persons at q time. 1t has the ap-
pearance Of an ordinary carriage in
front, except there are no provisions
made for horse. The wheels are of cy-
Gle make and are four in number. The
hind wheels are 43 inches, and the front
wheels are 36 inches, with rubber tires.
The boiler and engine are just in the
rear of the seat and give the carriage the
appearance of fire engine. The steam
generates in what is called porcupine
boiler, which weighs 100 pounds. The
steam is made by naphtha flames from
three jets. The naphtha is kept in a cyl
inder, enough to last for seven hours.
and there is water tank that will hold
10 gallons. The steering part consists
of n crank wheel on the footboard, SO
that the engineer can steer and attend to
the engine at the same time-Boston

Escaped Lion Caught by an Elephant.

An exciting and remarkable scene oc-
CURED yesterday at Barnsley, where
Days menagerie is being exhibited.
The manager states that about o'clock
Bartlett, the keeper, accidentally left the
door of cage containing young lions I'M
fastened. Bartlett was afterward sur
prised to see one of the lions loose. Hap
PLY no spectators were in the show at
the time. The keeper Immediately armed
himself and sent for aid. Blank car
tridges were fired to keep the lion at bay.
Luckily, it came within reach of power
full elephant named Jumbo II, who was
fenced off by means of ropes and stakes
in one corner of the show. The elephant
seized the lion with his trunk round tho
body, and placing his foot upon him
held him down. The keepers, who had
secured ropes, noosed them, and putting
them on the lions legs secured and
dragged him into the cage.-Westmin-
ster Gazette.

Birds Enjoy a Shower Bath.

A friend reports a pretty incident.
During the hot, dry weather the birds
about her house were apparently much
in need of bathing places, and the lady
discovered that every day when she
went out to water her flowers little
bird lowered about as if he wanted
something. Presently he revealed what
he did want by getting under the sprink-
ling of the water pot or beneath the
dripping plants, and fiuffing his feathers
in this shower bath inst as he would in
a pool, and plainly enjoying it in the
highest degree. He began to watch for
the daily coming of the lady to water
her plants and gave himself up to his
bath with gay abandon.-Boston Tran
script.

WHY tx Ito

Why is 1t that IL woman can struggle
until she is red in the face and worn out
both in temper and body by a window in
81 railroad train in her vain endeavors to
close or open it when all that man has
to do is to walk up and go over exactly
the same line OF action that she has al
ready exhausted, and down comes the re-
fractory window in jiffy? 1t is a most
Illuminating fact, but very true one
nevertheless, that not five women out of
Il dozen ever succeed i'll arranging win
dow to their satisfaction. They pull and
tug until they are embarrassed, and
finally, in pleading manner, look around
at some slip of a man, who, without any
nonsense, brings about the desired effect,
while the woman looks ON in silent won

Immicrntion Divertes TO Capaaa.

The rigid inquiries now instituted at
the ports of the United States to keep
undesirable immigrants ont of the coun-
try are likely to divert immigration into
Canada, where it is welcomed, and the
minister Of the interior is already re-
joicing in the prospect of increased pop
ulation. What is chiefly interesting to
an outside observer is that countries
which do not generally export their citi-
zens are now beginning to do so. France,
for instance, is contributing settlers, not
toQuebec, which is already fully stocked,
but to the northwest territories, and
Dutchmen are beginning to flow into
Manitoba. 1t is less satisfactory to find
that Cinnamon continue to pass over into
British Columbia, though eventually
they are certain to be swamped there

"The subntifuta.n

AT the Academy of Music next Mon
day night the attraction will be Ezra
Kendall in his new comedy-drama,
The Substitutes" founded upon an
incident of the civil war, young man
becoming the substitute for his friend
and neighbor who is drafted. Unlike
most plays of this sort there is none of
> the martial ''hooray" claptrap usually
introduced to divert the attention OF the
onlooker and blind him as to the
genuineness OF the naturalization, but
as might be supposed by any one famil-
lar with Mr.. Kendall's previous work
the comedy is the dominant feature
with enough of drama to tone the old
countryman down in keeping with his
surroundings. The excellence of the
supporting company may be Judged by
the presence of Arthur Dunn, the fur
niest of little comedians, who with his
sister, Miss jennie Dunn, will no doubt
be as entertaining as ever. The cast is
strong one, containing the names OF
