AN ATHLETIC GIRL WEEDS.
Marriage of Miss Brown, of Colorado,
and a Brooklyn Preacher.

LAWRENCE BEACH. L. l., Aug. 19.-
Miss Annie Lester Brown daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert w. Brown, of Ouray, Col,
who has been stopping here for a few
weeks, was married at Ouray few days
ago TO Charles Richard Marvin, of Brook
iyn. The young people became acquainted
here, and the courtship was of short dura-
tion. Miss Browns father owns several
silver mines in Colorado. While here Miss
Brown was much sought after by the
young men. She was called the only sport
at the place. She outdid all the men in
the athletic contests, such putting the
shot and broad and high jumps. At the
two latter sports she was especially good.
She beat all the men by several feet. She
was also clever boxer, and used to put
on the gloves with the men about the
place. She invariably had the best of
limited number of rounds.
When Miss Brown came here she
brought a wiry little mustang with her.
She is a thorough horSewoman, and rode
her pony in an original style. She threw
aside a riding habit as being too slow for
her nature. Instead, she wore a close
fitting bathing costume. which showed off
her pretty figure to advantage. Then, sit
ting astride the animal fashion, she
would dash about the beach. When tired
OF her ride she would turn the mustang
into the surf and force him to swim far
out. Then, tumbling off the pony, she
would strike out for shore. She is a pretty
and graceful swimmer.

MOWBRAY AND GOLDMAN.
Male and Female Anarchists Deliver
Speeches at New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia reception was
given Emma Goldman tonight at the
Thalia Theater, which nearly three thou
sand persons attended. The affair was
generally tame. and the special force of
detectives detailed to watch the proceed
ings had nothing to do. Charles Wilfred
Mowbray. the English Anarchist, was also
present and preceded Emma Goldman by
a speech in which he eulogized her hero
ism and self-sacririce. Speaking of the po-
lice, he remarked: These people exist for
Doodle. They are here 20 protect the
thieves of associated society in plundering
the poor workers"
When Emma Goldman came on the plat
form there was a great burst of applause
Her speech was chiefly devoted to a ran
corous attack upon all who were con-
cerned in her prosecution, conviction and
imprisonment. Imagine the prosecution of
a woman for talking" she began AN
archy was prosecuted Oct. s. 1898, in the
Court of General Sessions. IL was really
the right of free speech that was prose-
cuted. The country is too-day seeking aid
of the old continent 10 help it get rid of
anarchy. Who do they get TO help them?
Those hateful Irish and the deceitful Eng
lish."
Emma Goldman then launched into in
VectiVeS. She called Assistant District At
torney Mcintyre a coward. Speaking of
the judge before whom she was tried, she
said, Judge MARITIME is not to be COM
pared to Santo, Ravachol or Henry, who
were all defenders of a cause they be-
leved in. l am with you again, and again
under the old flag of anarchy and free
DOM" she concluded.
The speech was received with enthusi-
astic plaudits by the minority portion of
the audience, and the meeting soon after
French woman. and ardent advocate of
anarchy, presided at the meeting.

Who Were Misied, by Debs.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia conference was
held here to-day by representatives of the

matters affecting the old organizations as a
result of the work of the a. r. U. during
the recent strike. Among those present

Arnold. of the locomotive firemen: Grand
Chief S. c. Wilkinson, Messrs. Morrissey
and Terrell. of the Brotherhood of Train

Order Of Railroad Teegraphers An agree
ment was reached to endeavor to secure
the reinstatement of the members of the
orders who Joined the A. r. L. and, having
since repented of this course, are applying
for membership in their old lodges.
Mr.. Wilkinson said after the conference
through the strike and had applied for re-
admission to the brotherhood confessing
that they had been swept away by the eX-
fuse promises of the leaders of tbe 4 r
u. They now had no jobs and the A. r. L.
was in no financial position to give them
support. THE trainmen lost several lodges
by detection to the A. r. U.." he said,
land applications are being made for a re-
newal OF the charters of all of them. We
agreed to take the men back and will do
all in our power TO have the railroads lift
the boycott against them, for we are as
sured that the men will not again desert
their lodges under similar circumstances" >"
The Order of Railroad TelegrapherS" >"
said Mr.. Powell, was fortunate in the de-
fection of few of it's members. We lost two
lodges---one at Helena and the other at
Ripon."
The officials of the orders left Chicago
tonight to effect the reorganization of the
lodges. and will make personal appeals to
the various roads to reinstate their men.

Another dispatch from Shanghai says

Congress Waiting for Presidential
Action on the Tariff Bill.

Action the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The final action
of the President on the tariff bill is the
only thing that stands between the Senate
and final adjournment. 1t is the general
opinion that with the bill passed upon by
the chief executive adjournment could be
arranged within a days time. The last of
the appropriation bills received the final
consideration of the Senate during the
past week, and, even without the passage
of the Murphy resolution there would not
have been much probability of any gem
eral legislation, owing to the likelihood of
there being no quorum. The last roll call
yesterday discovered only forty-five Sena-
tors. two more than a quorum, i'm the
chamber, and the highest number of the
day was fifty-four Several have left since,
and it is entirely probable that the session
Monday Will open without the number
requisite to do business in the face of OBJ
lection. 1t is proba Die, therefore that the
daily sessions from this time forward will
be brief, and that only bills to which there
is no opposition from any Senator, or over
which there is no contest. will be taken up
The Democratic managers hope to have
the bill repeating the provision in the tariff
bill eXempting alcohol used in the arts and
in the manufacture of medicinal prepara-
tions included in this list. There appears
likelihood of opposition on the Repub-
lcan side, and If there should be- this bill
Will necessarily go over until the next ses-
sion. The Democratic members of the
finance committee also hope TO report the
supplemental tariff bills during the week
but do not expect action them. Proba-
bly, considerable time will be spent in
executive session in confirming nomina-
tions to which no one objects.
The House of Representatives is ready to
adjourn tomorrow. Its work has been
completed; il is only awaiting the action
of the Senate and of the President LII is
probable that il will adjourn from day 10
day until Congress adjourns. 1t NAV be.

cupied by giving days to the several COM
