captain, with a hearty laugh, ''if you agree
that l shall be the first to kiss the bride
after the ceremony, and that after / have
kissed her shall salute the bridesmaids -
Small scratched his head for a moment.
If the captain had asked for the second or
third kiss it would have been different,
but he didn't know about the first. But
then he thought again of the long walk
between Pittsburg Landing and Black Dia-
mond, and decided togive in to the captains
demands.
Its pretty tough on a groom" he said.
'but I'm going to be married tonight"
So the Caroline began to steam up, and
soon the wedding party was OH the way to
Black Diamond. Arriving there it was de-
clded to hold the ceremony in the open air
OH the deck of the steamer. The preacher
had no more than uttered the words Il cow
pronounce this man and woman man and
Wife" than Capt. Leale came up and de-
mauded what was coming to him.
Unwillingly Small handed over his blush
ing bride, and Leale took his kiss as greed
lily as would a successful Shylock take his
pound OF flesh. Then Miss Gibbons, the
bridesmaid, was placed upon the altar to
help pay for the steamer. Capt. Leale
was SO LEASED with his bargain that lie
volunteered to take the party out for spin
on the river, and the evening was spent in
merry-making.

Newspaper Man.

Newspaper Man.
Wabash, Ind, Aug BE. A. Shaw, a
recluse. living near Converse, committed
suicide in an unique manner. He began
planning several months ago when he pro-
cured three whisky barrels and took them
to his lonely cabin on Ta ylor Creek.
One barrel was sunk its length in the
ground, another was cut in two and fitted
carefully over the top of the first and a
whole barrel was then mounted on this.
The structure was made water tight. An
iron pipe connected the tub with the boiler
In an old wooden mill
Last Thursday he put stout lid on his
tub. attaching Il spriug lock, SO that wheii
the lid was closed it could not he opened
from the inside. He filled the tub with
water from the old mill boiler, stepped in
feet first, and pulled the lid down. Strug-
giles for life We're thus unavailing had
he changed his mind. Neighbors found
him today standing upright.
Shaw left note saying: Tell Pinker-
ton, SO he can print it before that coon
in Converse. l am going TO try a soak
In the bath tub. Unsteady fluttering ac-
tion of my heart" Pinkerton publishes
paper at SwayZee, and Shaw wanted
him to scoop the Converse Journal

CHAPTER XIH-(CoxTIxUED.)

CHAPTER XlIL-(CoSTJNUED.)
The look of him, as he turned hi'
CHASTITY face towards the audience, ST.
fenced and steadied them in an instant
just as they were on the point Of falling
into fresh confusion. Everyone
stretched forward eagerly to hear what
he would say. His lips moved; but the
few words that fell from them were in
audible, except to the persons who hap
pened to be close by him. Having
spoken, he left the table, supported by ii
pollce-agent, who was seen to lead him
towards the private door of the court
and, consequently, also towards the
prisoners platform. He stopped, how
ever, half way, quickly turned his face
from the prisoners, and pointing to-
wards the public door at the opposite
side Of the hall, caused himself to be
led out into the air by that direction.
When he had gone, the president, adj
dressing himself partly to Trudaine
and partly to the audience, said:
"The Cltizen-superintendent Danville
has been overcome by the heat in the
court. He has retired (by my desire,
under the care Of police-agenO to re-
cover in the open air; pledging himself
to me to come back and throw a new
light on the extraordinary and suspic-
iOus statement which the prisoner has
just made. Until the return Of Citizen
Danville, l ordered the accused, Tru-
dame, to suspend any further acknowl-
edgment of completely which he may
have to address to me. This matter
must be cleared up before other matters
are entered on. Meanwhile, in order
that the time of the tribunal may not
be wasted, authorize the female pris-
oner to take this opportunity Of making
any statement concerning herself which
she may wish to address to the judges"
"Silence him. Remove him out OF
courtw Gag him" "Guillotine him|
These cries rose from the audience the
moment the president had done speak
ing. They were all directed at Tru-
dame, VINO had made last desperate
effort to persuade his sister to keep 81
lence, and had been detected in the at
tempt by the spectators.
IF the prisoner speaks another word
to his sister, remove him, said the pres
ident, addressing the guard round the
platform.
Good! We shall hear her at last.
Silence Silence" exclaimed the wom-
en-, settling themselves comfortably on
their benches, and preparing to resume
their work.
Rose Danville, the court is waiting
to hear YOU" said the president, cross
ing his legs and leaning back luXuri-
ously in his large armchair.

Feature of tho Vegetarian Fad in Eng

Feature of tho Vegetarian Fad in Eng
land.
There are vegetaTians who deny
flesh food on sanitary grounds only,
while others cling to the diet on hui
manitarian grounds. They refuse to
eat meat because they decline to even
remotely sanction the slaughter of a
living creature for any purpose, says
the New York World. This feeling is
carried to the point of a fad in Eng
land, and as a result, vegetarian boots
and shoes" are advertised as for sale in
the London papers. The uppers are
made Of 'jannus corium," which, by the
way, is Oak-tanned leather, but few peo-
pie will recognize the fact. This is all
the leather used in the shoe, however.
The soles are Of closely waterproofed
fax betting. The yegetarians in az
guing that the skins Of slaughtered
animals are not necessary say that
India rubber, gutta percha, steel, iron,
and brass nails, cashmere, cotton, clas-
tic webbing, wood, paper, cork, STRAW,
silk, jute and wax 80 70 form the mod
ern mystery of a ladys shoe, in which
oftentimes no element of leather enters.
