ODD MATRIMONIAL ADS"
Way 1t Is Done In Austrian Pa

pers.
Austrian matrimonial advertisements,
according to a contemporaries CORES
pondent at Vienna, are marked by an
acceptable humorous audacity. Here, for
instance, is one that ran for six or seven
days: "Wanted-a rich lady-no matter
how old-who will finance a student of
medicine until such time as he obtains
his degree, when he engages to marry
his benefactress."
And another is quoted wherein a young
prince seeks a handsome girl with a
dowry of not less than f250, 600. When
the desired mate is obtained all mes
needs are APPARENTLY satisfied, judging
from this advertisement for a purchaser
for "a well-trained monkey, a laxative
parrot, apd a beautiful, sympathetic
cat" which belong to a lady. who,
owing to her approaching marriage, has
no further use Of them.
The most amusing Of the advertise
ments quoted by our contemporary is,
however. that of the very Irish. peru
quier who makes wigs for "men of intel
1ect, philosophers, scholars and poll
~ticians, whose severe mental labor in
the cause of humanity has filled their
brains with genial ideas, while depriving
their heads Of their natural capillary en-,
wigs" the advertiser continues, while
extremely useful and highly ornamental
to the wearer, are guaranteed absolutely
invisible to the spectator. They can be
seen any day In my private show
rooms. "-Exchange,

Greenville Gun Club Secures a
Shooting Ground on the
N, Y. Bay Shore.

The two strongest bowling teams in
Hudson County met last night in the
first of a series of games for a trophy
valued at 500. The teams were the
Lindens, champions of Greenville, and
the Clintons, champions of Greenville.
The games were rolled at Pop Edinger's
alley, Greenville, and such a large and
enthusiastic crowd as witnessed the game
was never before seen on the alley. The
Chntons brought with them a large dele
cation, and strong lungs were very much
in evidence. The Lindens. who are sell
dom left in anything, were also encourag-
ed by a crowd of faithful followers. The
bitter rivalry between the two. clubs
seemed to make the game a most ex-
citing one and every man made his best
effort to put up a big score. The Lin
dens had a number of advantages in the
contest which made defeat almost i'm
possible. They were on their own alleys
and had Stein, Holden, Paulsen and b.
dine on the team. Eddie Edinger made
way for Holden and was content with
keeping the slate. This move was not
altogether a wise one, as Edinger could
have easily exceeded Holden's totals.
In spite of the advantage which their
rivals had over them the Clintons made a
stubborn uphill fight, and although they
did not win, they proved their claims to
championship bowling. For the first two
frame the Clintons were in the lead.
In the third frame the Lindens piled up
eight strikes in succession and obtained a
lead, which they increased in each sue
ceeding frame, winning finally by q pins.
Stein was high man for the evening,
with the excellent score of 210. Bodine
won second honors with 1876, The second
game of the series will be rolled on
Thursday, March p. on the Chntons'
alleys, and should a third game become
necessary, neutral alleys will be chosen
for the final contest. Following is the
score of last nights game:-

restoration of the 20 per cent. reduction
made last summer in the spinning and

Last evening the girls waited upon
Mr.. Wilson at his mansion and stated
their grievances. This morning the aged

promised the girls that their grievances
would receive his attention, but this did
not satisfy them, and all walked from
the mills, declaring that they would NOT
return until at least 10 per cent. OF the
reduction was restored.
The girls say they have not been
able to earn more than So in two weeks
under the new scale of wages. Many
of them live in boarding houses, and
they told Mr.. Wilson this morning that
they were unable to earn even enough
