into the Office in an old fashioned per-

man of 45, who from his birth had not
been able to walk. He followed no &C.

so contorted were his legs that he was
only 80 inches high. He asked that he
should be married in the perambulator.
Besides the usual questions the astonish-
cd officials asked the bride IL she really
knew what she was about. She replied
that she was fully aware Of what she
was doing, and she wondered what the
crowd Of people outside were laughing
at, as it was only q wedding. The par
ties made the usual declaration as to no

PORTRAITS OF AMERICAN WOMEN
A Novel Loan Exhibition of Paintings to
BENEFIT New York Charities.

A Novel Loan Exhibition Of Paintings to
benefit New York Charities.
Arrangements are now being made
for n loan exhibition of old and modern
portraits of American women to DO held
early in November at the Academy Of
Design. Such exhibitions of women's
portraits are given by the Gallery club
in London, but they are new in New
York. 1t is proposed to divide the pro-
ceeds from this exhibition between st.
Johns guild and the Orthopedic dis
pensary and hospital. The ladies repre-
senting these two charities who are ar
ranging this exhibition are Mrs. Robert
B. Potter, Mrs. II. Winthrop Gray,
Mrs. John A. Lowery, Mrs. Charles dc
Rham, Mrs. J. Hobart Warren and Mrs.
Adolf Ladenburg. The selection Of the
pictures will be in tho hands Of a com.
mittee of we'll known artists.
1t is believed that the novelty Of such
an exhibition, in addition to its artistic
merits, will insure its success. There
are in New York many valuable por.
traits Of women. Some of them are by
American artists and some Of them were
painted abroad. So long as the subject
is an American woman the painting
may be hung in this loan collection.
Already the announcement of such All
exhibition has aroused interest, and it
Is intended to make it u social success.
Mrs. Lowery said last night:
1--WE propose to have the exhibition
during the week Of the horse show, for
then there are many people in town
who would be interested in such an ex-
hibition. There are many fine portraits
Of handsome ome here, and l think
that such an exhibition will attract at
tention and benefit our charities. 1t IL
impossible yet to give any details about
the paintings that will be exhibited.

In the 6orham murder mystery developed
today when Deputy Sheriff Plummer ar
rested Edwin GRAHAM, charged with
committing the crime. Graffem is about
twenty years old and lived with Abner
Lowell, just across the road from the house
OF the murdered man. Lowell stated to
an Associated Press representative last
night, when telling OF the depart
ure OF Lewis. who has been suspected of
the crime, that GRAHAM was coming TO
the house just as Lewis departed. 1t Is
not known what the evidence against
Graffam Is, but il is claimed that he Is
unable to, account for his whereabouts
from six o'clock until he returned TO
Lowell's at 80 o'clock on the mig hit of the
murder. GRAHAM was brought here last
night and lodged in the court jail.
He has been a sailor and has lived much
of the time at the Lowell House for sew
eral years. His arrest is great surprise.
He took his arrest very coolly, says he is

the land company and stated that the
company had supposed that they had
been dong just what The Old Washington

Mr.. Mattcson supposed the city would
furnish material for rebuilding the bridge
and wall, and be reimbursed later by tie
company.
Commissioner Smith said the city would
not allow the committee to expend 81

question OF whether the land company
Will stand an expense of 200 or
