SHE WAS CRUSHED

He Used the whip In Good Old-Fashioned
Style-The Stage Has Lost
Bright Light.

Mt. Union, Ohio. Sept. 7.-Maude
Lease. stage-struck girl. has post
poned her appearance before the foot
lights. Some time ago a doctor and
his wife struck town. the doctor selling
maps and his wife getting rid Of stove
polish. They announced that they
would go to Mansfield and organize a
dramatic company to help the doctor
sell a nostrum he had invented. Maude
heard Of 1t. and she wanted to go. Papa
Lease got a sniff of what was In the
breeze. He put his foot down hard.
Maude sulked a day or two. and then
apparently became resigned to her
fate. She even washed the dishes with
a spirit Of cheerfulness. Then she
packed her trunk on the sly and sent
1t over to the b. & o. depot, following
1t herself by a roundabout way.
Someone gave Papa Lease a hint.
He repaired to the depot In haste, and
when he met his daughter he proceed
ed to use the whip In good old-fash-
ioned style. Then he bade her jump
into his buggy. threw the trunk In
after her. and drove her home. And
that is the reason Maude is mourning
and the stage has lost a bright star

Captain Buchholz or the 18th regiment.
p. N. G.. Ii married TO s. T. Paisley OF
Pittsburg. The wedding occurred after
one days courtship. and there is a ro-
nance connected with 1t.
Miss Maud Stewart Of Allegheny
was a guest OF the Montone house. at
Conneaut lake. Shortly after her ar
rival. Paisley. to whom she was be-
trothed. took quarters at the same
hotel. Paisley accused the young wo-
man Of paying too much attention TO
other young men. and they had what
was supposed to be a slight lovers
quarrel.
Last Wednesday Paisley saw Miss
Stewart in company with a young man
and the latter referred to Paisley as a
''chump." Paisley Is not a fragile
dude. as he at one time held one Of the
pugilistic championships Of the Pitts
burg Athletic club. The rival made n
pass at Paisley. and the later proceed
ed to "do him up in the most ap-
proved style. while Miss Stewart
looked on. When the blood began to
flow she tainted. and. when she recov-
cred she warned Paisley never to speak
to her again.
Paisley said something about there

hotel across the lake. The next morn

she proved 10 be Miss Buchholz. the
belle of the country round. The court
ship was brief. and they eloped to
Jamestown. N. Y. where they were
married.
They returned to Conneaut lake. and
registered as man and wife at the hotel
where Miss Stewart and Paisley's rival
were stopping. Miss Buchholz was en-
gagged to a prominent young man OF
Stoneboro. Pa. Her parents are wealthy
and they are much chagrined over
their daughters escapade. The young
couple have gone to Pittsburg. where
they will live.

other at the turning stake. On the
home run they brought out balloon
jibs. but valkyrie's did not seem to fill
so well as that on Defender. The wind,
which had increased during the early
part OF the afternoon to about eight
miles an hour. died away considerably.
and II was in this forlorn hope that
valkyrie put her faith.
The valkyrie had already given evil
dences of speed in light weather sew
eral times during the race. and II was
believed by some that she would
gather herself together for a final burst
OF speed. But although for a moment
1t looked as though she really did gain
a trlfie. her chances were lost soon
afterward when It was clearly evident
that the Defender was steadily in
creasing the distance between them.
and so they finished In the lightest
breeze OF the day, the Valkyrie stand
ing up straight more than a mile in
the distance. the Defender finishing
eight minutes and 10 seconds ahead.

Is estimated by the syndicate owners
of the Defender, c. Oliver Iselin, T.. ID.

their expenses In connection of the

1t was. taken altogether, one of the
most interesting races that ever took

When the Defender crossed the finish
line she was greeted by cannons

handkerchiefs to an extent that en-
tirely fitted the victory of yacht
which all agree was the fastest ma.
