1t was during Lent several years ago
that a prominent young man aud a
popular young lady OF MaScutah were
married, contrary to the rules OF the
church of which they were both men,
bers, says the st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrdt
The young man urged that the marriage
take place at that time, and the bride
to be consented 10 the arrangement upon
the condition that special permission be
secured from the proper church author
tiles.
In accordance with the wishes OF the
young lady letter was sent to the
bishop OF the church, asking for his
consent for the marriage to take place
with lhe usual rites OF the church. The
young people were, il appears, confident
of securing a favorable answer from the
bishop and the day was set for the
wedding. The days rolled by, and the
day for the marriage came, and still no
answer had been received fSom the high
official OF the church. In des-
perauon the would be bridegroom
hurried TO the telegraph Office and
despatched a message in haste 10 the
bishop, asking him to telegraph his
consent for the marriage ceremony TO
take place. The hours went by, and
the expected message came not. The
hour set for the marriage approached,
the guests arrived, and still telegram
had been received. Ia a greatly tx
cited frame Of mind the young man
paced back and forth In the telegraph
Office. He stopped every few minutes
to INQUIRE OF the operator il the message
had net been received.
Fortunately, or rather unfortunately,
as il afterward turned out 10 be, the
name OF the telegraph operator and the
name OF the bishop was the same. The
early religious training OF the KEEP ma
nipuator had been sadly neglected, and
in a spirit of jest he sat down at the
table and wrote upon telegraph paper
the following words
''Yos have my consent to De married
at this time.

1t was his own name that he signed,
but 10 was also the name OF the bishop.

among them the Mauser, Martini and

made of steel and wire plates,
two.fifths OF an inch in thickness,
backed by three inches OF wood, were

been proved a wooden dummy covered
with the bullet-proof coat was pat up,
and after receiving not less than nfteen

in the composition OF the coat without
penetrating 1t once. All present were
highly pleased with the result, and Herr
Dove was warmly congratulated on his
success.
THEY SHOOT AT THE MEN.
But II was two weeks ago that the In
ventor achieved his greatest success.
He had Interested Count Schouvaioh,
OF the Russia embassy, in his invention
and this gentleman said he would ike
to make test, provided the tailor
would wear the coat while being shot at.
To this DOVE unhesitatingly consented,
and the test was made before brilliant
gathering OF military men. The
experiments were of the most searching
and severe order, and after revolvers
had been used on the invulnerable tall
or rifles were brought into action. As
q preliminary experiment few shots
were fired at block OF solid oak, which
was pierced by the bullets, and the best
made steel cairasses were shot throngh
as II they had been made OF paper. AZ
ter this had been done DOVE again
donned his bullet-proof coat and invited
the count and his friends TO blaze away.
II was indeed very exciting while the
rife lone OF the most approved patterns
used in the German army, was being
aimed at the tailor. The spectators
were strung 10 an extreme state OF
nervousness and instinctively closed
their eyes In anticipation OF seeing
DOVE killed. But after the report
of the rife rang out and the tailor
was seen standing, apparently unhurt,
there was feeling OF relief
among all present, Dove keenly en-
loved their anxiety and fairly beamed
with satisfaction as he shouted. Fire
again, you cannot hurt ne!' A bullet
was then fired from a Winchester rife
directly over his heart, but did no more
harm than if it had been q spitoall.
The festive tailor was absolutely unhuri
and all the bullets were found imbedded
in the bullet-prooi coat.
A second series of experiments va.
then commenced, which proved fully 3.

inscribed on tho register of the Palace

in German circles. But now the tall man
OF many titles has fed. He left suddenly

clares that be was driven out of San
Francisco by the opportunities Of the
city's society girls who were anxious to
exchange their hearts and hands and
fortunes for his rank and his castle on

laid at the bsron's feet, he says. When
the society women finally would give
him no peace, and his mail by the
