The. Bride Paid the Fee.

Justice of the Peace William f. Rusch of
Hoboken was seated in his Office shortly
after 10 o'clock on Tuesday night when a
ring of the door bell aroused him, and In a
moment a man and woman entered and
announced that they desired to be married.
After summoning the necessary witnesses
and asking the usual questions. the
Justice told the pair to stand up and join
hands, says the New York Sun.
At this point the bridegroom whispered
to the justice that the bride would like to
retire to a private room for few moments,
and asked if she could do So Although
somewhat surprised, Justice Rusch
acquiesced, and the young lady disap-
peared. Five minutes later she emerged
clad in magnificent wedding gown of
white silk, with a veil and orange blossoms
upon her head.
The couple registered as Miss Georgina
Johnson, 26 years old, of Fort Wadsworth,
Staten Island, and Frederick c.. Schroeder,
25 years old. civil engineer of Manner,
NJ
After the ceremony the bride produced a
well-flled pocketbook and, extracting a
tiye-dollar bill, presented it to the Justice.

Prisoners Eight Over Tri1hr.

James O'Connor is the first close-con-
finement prisoner that has been within the
walls of Ludlow-street Jail since the days
of Red Leary. He is being punished
for a breach of Jail discipline and is de-
prived of all privileges. This means that
he will be locked in small cell, says
New York Dispatch to the Boston Journal.
O'Conlor is Government prisoner, &C
cused OF robbing a postoffice. He was play
ing checkers with William Hawker and Al
fonzo Sferlozo, two prisoners, on Monday
afternoon, when a discussion arose on the
subject of Trilby's morality. Each of the
trio had fixed ideas on Du Maurier's hero
inc. The outcome was that O'Connor struck
Hawker on the jaw. Then Sferlozo took
hand in it. Warden Raabe and the turn

pies on the coast, is made up of vigorous
young men, 16 years of age and upward
who not only pledge themselves to abstain
from drinking and treating, but from even
visiting places where liquors are sold. There
are ten companies already in the regiment,
with an average membership of fifty each,
Five of these companies are fully equipped
and uniformed, and it is for the purpose of
raising the necessary funds to complete
the regimental outfit that the concert and
drill will be given. The headquarters of
the cadets are at IA McAllister street.
So far four companies have entered the
list for competition. These are: Company
A, OF the st. Mary's Cathedral; Company
B, of ST. Charles Church; Company G, of
gets. A generous rivalry has sprung up
among them, which, taken together with
the fact that the splendid silver trophy to
be contested for is valued at $500, indicates
that the occasion will be an exciting one.
The music of the concert will be by the
Preside band of twenty pieces. The
features of the drill will include a dress
parade and review, an individual competi-
tive drill for a gold medal, and a saber
drill by Company A.
Following is the roster of the cadets:

ARULE THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS.
How the Dudes of Atlanta Are Vic
timiZed.

How the Dudes of Atlanta Are Vic
timized.
The young men about town have two
new stories which they are repeating to
each other.
One is, says the Atlanta Constitution,
about a pretty cashier and the other is
quently seen among the shoppers on
Whitehall street. One merit of the stories
is that they are both strictly true.
'sIt's this way" said a young man
yesterday, "the women are so confoundedly
pretty that they hypnotic the men. The
pretty cashier always gives back the right
change except when the customer happens
to be the sort of man who imagines himselfa
lady-killer: then she losses 1T down about
dollar short. She gives him smile with
his short change, and that is worth fully
81 The man Smiles, and though he dis
covers that his change is shy a few cents
he never says a word. If he did, why, OF
course, the young lady would be surprised
and would make it up. But she's so
shrewd that she never misjudges man.
She sizes up the men right every time.
and not once in hundred times do the
men say a word. They are tickled to
death at having the young lady smile on
them SO sweetly, and had rather give up
the whole amount than make kick.
THE other woman is professional
shopper, and she's sumner in looks. She
goes into store and calls for something
She never buys costly thing. The clerk
brings out what she calls for and displays
it on the counter. She examines it and
throws in bright remarks and makes eyes
at the clerk-in short, she gives the young
fellow to understand that she is dread
fully mashed on him. He feels like hug
ging himself. The lady buys the article,
of course, and fingers few minutes to
talk with the clerk after it is wrapped
up. Her smiles and her eyes completely
hypnotic, and after a short time she
walks out in an absent-minded way, hav-
ing forgotten to pay for her purchase. OF
course the clerk never says a word. He
just makes out ticket and has it charged
up to himself. This lady never makes
mistakes. If she should happen to strike
clerk some day who is not susceptible to
mashes, why she'd simply look embar-
raised and say:
How funny Excuse the mistake
think of me forgetting to pay you. l am
so absent-minded."
But the clerks never give her an oppor-
tunity to say that.

WILL COMPETE At ARMS,
League of the Cross Cadets to
Drill for a Silver
Trophy.
FIRST EVENT OF IT'S KIND.
Unique Affair Among Catholic
Military and Temperance
Circles.

The coming competitive drill, to which
the League of the Gross Cadets look for
ward with pleasant anticipation, will be a
particularly interesting event in Catholic
and military circles. 1t is to take place at
the Mechanics Pavilion on May next,
and for several weeks the cadets have been
hard at work making preparations. In
connection with the drill there will be a
grand concert, at which some particularly
fine musical selections are to be given.
The event is rather unique in its way.
The League of the Cross Cadets is a mill
tary as well as temperance organization,
and martially it is known as the First

for Them.
Exceptionally long boards have always
attracted a good deal of attention, and in
most old works on the customs and habits
of men there are numerous references to
"whyskirs" and "byeards" of extraordi-
nary length, says the st. Louis Republic.
Rauber Won Talber, German knight and
councillor of Macmillan II, who died in
1915, rejoiced in the possession of beard
which reached to his feet and from there
again to his waist. John Mayo, the cele-
brated sixteenth century painter (the same
which accompanied Charles on his cam
paigns), was man feet 6 inches in
height. Giant though he was, his beard
reached the ground, and, in order to keep
it out of his way, Mayo always wore it
tucked under girdle which encircled his
waist. Rowland Llewenn, the Welsh high
wayman who made life burdensome to the
travellers over the Cambrian hills during
the early part of the seventeenth century
chad yellow beard of mightie length and
size" He is said to have worn it in two
braids or plaits, which were thrown back
over his shoulders and crossed at the small
of his back and again brought around to
the front of the body, where they were
fastened with gold clasps and buckles.
Each braid was about FIVE feet nine inches
in length, and, when left unplaited, the
whole beard was upward of seven feet in
length.
Howell's "Welsh Celebrities saws:
Llewenn had the longest beard of which
we have record. When loose and flowing
it fell down over his horses shoulders
almost to the animals knees. 1t was of a
peculiar yellow or straw color, which was
all the more curious, both his parents
being dark haired mountain Welsh people,
Years afterward the mountain people had
proverbs which referred to this freak, they
often using the expressions, about as long
as Howland's beard" or "Yellow as the
whiskers of Llewenn.'
George Kill.ngworth, whom Queen Mary
sent to Russia in 1906 as one of her agents
to Gar Ivan the Terrible, had beard 5
feet 2 inches in length, and Count Ruloff of
Poland, 1897, rejoiced in the possession OF q
mustache which was so long that he could
not touch the ends of it with his fingers.
There are ten or twelve other long-bearded
men of olden times of whom notice will be
given in some future installment of "Notes

keys parted the men. Then it was found
that the Italian had been stabbed on the
cheek. Warden Raabe said to-day that
there had been no cutting and that O'Con-
nor did not have knife. Every prisoner
is carefully searched on arriving at the
jail, and for this reason, he said, he could
not have had knife. The existence of the
slashed face remains q stubborn fact.
DIR. Leon Cherurg of 81 Eldridge street,
who> attends prisoners in the JAIL took
several stitches in Sferlozos cheek.
The prisoners in Ludlow street are given
more privileges than in other jails. They
are confined in cells only at night and
usually spend the day reading or playing
checkers in the corridor. O'Connor, how
ever, will remain in locked cell both day
and NIGHT

A petrified dog was washed out of the
bank of stream on the Step Rock road,
South Norwalk, Conn, after one of the
recent storms. In appearance it is of a
dark gray color and very hard. In life it
must have been an enormously large ami
NAL, and is of a species not recognizable by
any who have seen it, but it is thought to
have been of the kind living with the
native occupants of that section prior to
settlement by the whites. Bits of petrified
wood have frequently been found in that
vicinity.

James Brock, farmer In San Joaquin

who entered into negotiations TO buy his farm.
By the usual bunko trick they succeeded in
swindling him out of $4,000. Chief Crowley
located the three men in Portland, Or, and
through him they were arrested there yester-
day. Two of them are "Crooked Mouth" Green
and Ed Smith, but the Chief does not know the
