Miss Kathryn, the eldest daughter of
Carl Jurgens, a wellknown florist OF this
city, was married to Frederic Schuerer Of
New York few days ago in Fall River.
Miss Jurgens ana Schuerer have been ac-
quainted for the past two summers and
acquaintance ripened into love, but
as Miss Jurgens is only II
years of age, her parents consent

River, which is haven for runaway
Newport couples. All parties are now re-
conciled so the gossips say.

After Night In India.
feel now flavor in the air and in
stinctively turn to the cast. With Joy as
great as that of the most ardent firc wor-
shipper, see pale gray light there. Thank
heaven, this dreadful night is over In
stantly tho teeming jungle life responds
TO the suns message. The tiger, with
blood still dropping from his jaws, Is now
skulking home. The jackal and hyena are
hireauy Wrangling over the remains Of his
victim From the ruined well the dove
sends forth her endless grooming lament,
an impudent hoopoe runs across the camp
In search Of the earliest and most inpru-
dent worm, mynas resume their gossip,
and overhead Ina the pepal tree the parrots
are bcstifing themselves and crOakina
gently TO their wives thar IL is time 10 see
W the breakfast. The shrli scream of the
peafowl comes clearly from the opposite
bank. A monkey with baby firmly
clutching her drops almost at my feet, and
selling a forgotten banana IL up again i'm
the topmO~t branch before one can cxclaih
at her audaciy. 49, now a long iingeruf ]
light has pierced the heavens, and almost
immediately the great red rim heavcs up.
