white girl. In such a peculiar locality,
where none but Chinese reside, it was
quite a surprise, and finally it was deter
mined to ascertain what she was doing
there.
Hattie Brossock, found alone in the
room, gave the story of her career, and
after being tDld that her union with the
MoDgoiaD was not holy or valid expressed
great repngnance at her condition and sur
roupdings and said that but for fear she
would leave Sing. However, Mrs. Lee
Poo. who is also a white woman, and
seems to have much influence over the
girl. toli her that the marriage was per-
fectly legal; that she and her own hus-
band had been united in the same way,
and that If she deserted Sing her fate
would be most dreadful. Visions of high
bi Iders and hatchets floated through her
brain. and she said that she had no place
where she could 60 in safety.
DR.. O'Donnell heard of the case and
guaran teed her protection, 80 day before
yesterday two young men went up
TO the room and assisted her in
packing her belongings in a trunk.
Everything belonging to ner COM

The affair was. strictly private, >iiiasmuch
as Invitations had been Issued only TO the
more intimate friends: of both families;
but IN spite of this the church was crowded
with members of the congregation at the
hour named. The prominence of the
bride and groom in social circles was in If
self sufficient to ATTRACT a host of friends
and we'll wisheTS to the sacred sdifce and
impressive indeed was the ceremony per-
formed. Rev. Dr.. Gibson of the United
Presbyterian Church officiated and was as
sisted by REV. DR.. a. C.. Hirst, pastor of
the church.
In honor of the event. the interior of the
church had been beautifully decorated, the
happy blending of cut flowers and festoons
of evergreen and smilax being particularly
attractive. Upon entering the eye was
greeted at the doorway by two arches,
composed of palm branches and the
choicest of cut flowers. The center aisle
was made to bic summer arbcr.
and the pulpt was completely hidden
from view by proIusion of delicate ferns
and potted plants.
Shortly before the noon hour the bride,
leaning upon the arm of her father, James
Kennedy, who is the manager of the retail
firm of O'Connor. Moffatt 81 Co., entered
the church and headed the bridal party up.

were in waiting. There were no brides :
maids in attendance, but Miss Edith Ken .
Eedy, a sister of the bride. acted as m aid
Of honor, while Andrea Bogart, a brother
of the groom. officiated as groomsman.
Upon approaching the sanctuary the
young couple knelt before the two dis
tinguished clergynlen and the simple mar.
riage ritual was then recited by Rev. Dr..
Gibson. AT the conclusion of the cere-
mony the bridal: party proceeded to the :
house Of the brides parents, where an in

nave provided against any such at,empts

keeping the matter as secret as possible.

So. unknown to any but themselves. the

say the nearly three dozen young ladies
will be true to their pledges and their
health.
There will be stately brunettes in leg
gins and chic little blondes. There will be
some young ladies as plump as partridges
also in leggius; and there will be some of
burIesqUe slimness.' All. all in leggns
Miss Maybelie NJ. e. Feusier, while not
the originator of the idea, is high in the
councils of the pledged. She is modestly
enthusiastic on the project and is sure the
Innovation will be its own vindcation.
She did not care to talk nn the matter, but
finally agreed to give her reasons for alb
horring the full length skirt as rainy-day
garment.
Last winter" she said, 1--WE had try
ing experience. We had to carry our
skirts in one hand and our books, our
umbrellas and goodness knows what in
the other, as we padded through the mud
from one recitation room to another.
How horrd it was 20 sit with those
heavy skirts cliDging to cne's feet all

and more bedragged than ever.
Not TO mention the colds and the sore
thro ats that were bound to come after
every rain. That's why the new dresses
are to be worn"
There will be nothing attempted in the
way of uniformity in the costumes. Each
young lady has used her own taste and
her dear sweet will in the selection of the
material of which her skirt is being made.
and as to its color and cut. She has also
used the same freedom in the matter of
leggins. but it has leaked ,out as an open
secret that most of them will BIO black

As it turned out, however. Stockwell
made no answer to the suit. but let it go
by default. And yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Stockwell, accompanied by her attorneys,
witnesses aud friends, appeared before
Judge Hunt and told what they knew.
Mrs. StOckwell, no longer a healthy, ro-
bust young woman, was in such a weak
slate of health that she was accommodated
with a seat in Judge Hunts chambers
while she waited to give her evidence.
OF her troubles in her loneliness some of
the nelghbors around her house on O'Far-
rell street had told before. Her husband
had busted himself with his company
without casting a thought to her require

Railroad Managers Say They Couldn' 7
Got Along Without Them.
CHICAGO. July 10.-The statements
emsnating from the General Managers
association announcing the gradual re-
sumption OF through passenger train
service have evoked numerous inquiries
from the east as to whether these con.
ditions were being brought about by
the return Of the strikers, by the Sc
curing OF new employees. or by the aid
OF the government. A categorical
query on this point was submitted to
the officials of the General Managers
association and the following official
reply was returned:
''rhe gradual resumption of through
passenger traffic so far as Chicago is
concerned, is being effected with new
employees and the protection afforded
them by the troops. We have con-
tended from tns outset that we have
enough inen to run our trains if
they were allowed to work without
molestation, and that the partial tie-up
has been due solely to the action of the
mobs and rioters. The truth of this con-
tention is demonstrated in the schedults 8
showing the gradual resumption OF
passenger traffic. 1t is useless to deny,
however. that without the aid Of fed
eral and state military we could not
have done as much as we have in this
direction, and that with the military
withdrawn the situation would be as
bad as ever. What we are doing is
being solely done by the aid of the
troops"
