AN ELABORATE WEDDING.

The marriage of Miss Alice B. FL dridge to MT Henry H. Bridgman took place in the Congregational church at Norfolk, Ct., at p. m. this afternoon. The church-which was filled to over- flowing. many not even finding standing room-had been elaborately trimmed by Thorley, the New York decorator. The profusion of flowers and their tasteful arrangement made a magnificent dis play, one never seen CT attempted here before, and one never to be forgotten. Promptly on time the wedding party marched up the aisle to wedding march by Miss Sawin, the organist, on the organ. The bridegroom was attiredin the conventional dress suit prescribed fors uch occasions. Thebride wasdressedin white satin gown trimmed with poInte lace founce, and pointe lacesveil. with spray of orange flowers and diamond spray, pearl necklace with pendant, a gift of the groom. The brides two nieces, dressed in white null, trimmed with pink and green ribbon, and Leg horn hats with pink roses and hat pins, were the bridesmaids, with Henry K
 Morgan, Jr of New York, as best man. Tue ushers were: Edward B Swift of this place, and Dwight 0. Taylor, Will liam Ivisou and c. B. Ludiington, Jr of New York. After the ceremony, Y, performed by Mir De Peu in his usual brief and impressive manner, the family and friends returned to the residence of the bride, which had also been very taetefully decorated by Thorley, and found that "Sherry, a caterer from New York, had taken charge of the new dining room and spread an elegant wedding breakfast" to which full and ample justice was done The presents, of which there was the greatest abun- dance, many of them being very rare l and valuable, were then viewed, after which the friends from New York took the special car, that brought them, fol their return. and the bride and groom started for short trip to Boston and vicinity. The wish that joy and pros peritv may go with them and remain with them is echoed from every heart where they are known.

Hotchkiss School Do Our Academy
 Our sporting editor went to Lakeville Saturday afternoon to report the ball game between the Hotchkiss School and the Canaan Academy. He arrived on the field in time to see. the opening of the game and watched it intently for five innings when the game was called provided for the press, he mounted his steed and started for home supposing that he had full report Of the game. What he saw was this: A very wet and very poor ball field, eighteen good look ing ball players but who did not play good looking ball. The game was a poorly played one for the five innings, the score being 10 and 5 in favor of our Academy. This is what our reporter saw and expected to work up into a great account of 8 ball game, but after waiting short time for the grounds to absorb little more moisture the um- pire decided that the game would have to be finished. Accordingly the last four innings were played. The five in nings our reporter witnessed were bad enough ball playing but something awful must have happened in the last four for the game resulted in score of 20 to IF in favor of the Hotchkiss School. It was cold. wet afternoon; a bad day for base ball anyway.

A snREWD CITY BEGeAR.
A Blun That Succeeded In Drawing a Coin
 From a Man Who Was Broke"

| A Bluff That Succeeded In Drawing a Coin From a Man Who Was Broke" The unfortunate and much maligned tramp who is met every evening in the City Hall park, asking penny of his vic- tims as they file through, is not wanting in very perceptible dash of humor now and then. A rather good looking man passed him night or two ago in a tre- ] mendous hurry, but was halted with the usual salutation.
 'I haven't cent tonight, my good fel- low," he said. "I am absolutely dead | broke."
 Bad as all that? Haven't you got a ' penny?" pleaded the tramp, putting on his most hungry look.
 "No, not red. tell you I'm dead, fat broke"
 ''Now, look here, pardner, replied the ! beggar, lowering in the mans shadow as he dashed on toward the bridge, ''are you serious about being broke? Lots and lots of people say that just to keep from giving poor devil anything, and at the same time to spare his feelings. You"- a-... "Confound it, man, don't you know when to turn loose? If I had a million I wouldn't give you a cent, you are so persistent"
 My friend" said the tramp, "I wouldn't accept cent from you now. You've hurt my feelings unnecessarily. only wanted to do you a good turn. If you had said seriously that you were broke was going to offer you part of my scanty store. I ain't got any too much to speak of, but couldn't bear to see well dressed man like you going around without a cent in his pocket. Just to show you there's no hard feel ings, let me lend you dollar till tomor- row night"
 You've got dollar and begging for morel That's your game, eh? You ought | to be locked up. I've mind to call @ policeman" | "Don't. They all know me, and you'd be wasting your time. Besides, if have got dollar and am begging for more, you mustn't forget that offered to lend it to you. It's all I've got in this world, and was willing to trust it with you, an utter stranger. We beggars must always keep little ahead, else we would starve to death, we meet so many gentlemen like you-an dead broke. Begging my trade. I'm ashamed of it, I admit, but how many men can you count on your fingers who are ashamed of their own trade? Can lend you this dollar?"
 "Of course not. Here's quarter in- stead. I give it to you not because you deserve it, but because you've been clev- CT enough to take me in. My opinion is you are pretty shrewd rascal. Why don't you turn burglar? What makes you beggar?
 Circumstances, surroundings and op- portunities. They are the three things that make and mar men. By begging I harm nobody but myself. You and your rich associates live on the interest of what is earned or stolen. I and my pals live on the great national surplus. Thanks for the quarter. I shall put Ii where it will do most good. ."-New York | Tribune

The Literature of the South.

The southern writers of fiction have
 too often found their profit in catering
 to northern prejudice. This class of
 writers make their money by misrepre- senting the real people of the south, de- scribing imaginary classes of ''poor
 whites" ;" 'crackers," mountain whites" etc., as if they really existed, and pan dering to the desire of unfriendly readers to see old enemies put in an unfavorable light. Exceptional monstrosities are held up as southern types to the great glee of the untraveled northerner. who is led to hold the writer and his fellow southerners in equal contempt. In his torical writing recent southern authors hold high place, because they have written, as rule, to vindicate the truth rather than to make money. Their books picture people vastly different from the creatures our mercenary hterati have created. It is in southern newspapers and monthly magazines written for southern readers = that the southern thought and culture of our day are to be seen in their real character er.-Baltimor Sun
