Romantic Marriage Of Sherry
Krauss and Pauline
PhiriSch.
BOTH HAIL FROM NEW YORK.
To Avoid Complications They Came to
This City to Be Made Man
and Wife.

After many trials and tribulations
Sherry Krauss and Pauline Phirisch, both
of New York, were made man and wife by
Justice of the Peace Groezinger yester
day and are now on their way te
| their Eastern home to enjoy thei1
honeymoon if providence and all ex-Mrs
Sherry Krauss will permit.
Several years ago Krauss, who is stall
wart German and traces his ancestry back
to blue blooded Knickerbocker family
married lady who moved in the same
| circles as himself and for some time happi-
| ness reigned in the Krauss household.
But dissensions arose and Krauss finally
became alienated from bis wife. He also
fell in love with pretty Miss Pauline
Phirisch, and this FASTENED his determlna-
ton to be divorced from his wife and marry
his charmer. Not desiring the publicity
that would result if the action was brought
in New York, he left Pauline and jour
neyed to San Francisco, where he brought
suit for a separation on the ground OF
desertion.
Judge Daingerfeld gave him decree of
divorce and Krauss went home satisfied.
He made ready to make Miss Phirisch his
bride, but complications over the legality
of the divorce arose, the attorney whom
he consulted advising him that the Cali
fornia divorce might not be recognized by
the New York courts. His ex-wife also
expressed a determination to prevent the
marriage if possible.
Then despair seized both Krauss and his
fiancee and they were at their wits ends.
An elopement was not to be thought of,
for the social positions of both were dear
to them and they knew not what to do. :.
Finally Krauss proposed that they travel
together to California and be made one
under the same jurisdiction that had sepa-
rated him from his wife. This seemed the
only solution of the difficulty and the trip
was accordingly made, Miss Phirisch being
accom- panied by female relative who
acted as chaperone to the party.
On arriving here Krauss consulted an
attorney, who told him that his divorce
as soon as he pleased. Justice Groezinger
was accordingly called upon to perform
the ceremony, and did so in his usual
pleasing manner.
At the last moment the bride that was
70 be weakened and seemed almost ready
to give up her intention of marrying
Krauss. She made many anxious inquiries
OF the Justice whether there was any ques-
ton as to the right of herself and Krauss
being united, or whether the ex-Mrs.
Krauss, of whom she seemed to be in fear,
could separate them on their return East.
On being assured that there was not the
slightest danger of anything in legal
way coming between them, she consented
to the tying of the knot. Then she and
her newly made husband departed hur-
riedly to make preparations for the return
journey to New York.
Krauss was very reticent about his con-
nections in the East, merely stating that
he came of a good family and was well
provided with the worlds goods. He de-
clined to say where he had been staying
while in this City and said that within a
few hours he would be on his way East.
His attorney, he stated, would see that
his first wife did not annoy him and that
she would be kept away from the present
Mrs. Krauss. He rather expected, how
ever, that she would attempt to make
trouble as soon as he and his bride landed
in New York.
He is 80 years of age, while his wife ad-
mits of twenty summers. She lis slight,
blonde and pretty, and seems very much
in love with her Observation-Disclosures
