Maioney,s Wedding.

"Malonev's Wedding" seems to be about all one reads or hears about of late and 1t is really amusing to listen to the funny stories that are told at Dams expense. The latest-that few evenings ago Ma loney made his final visit to the nome Of tine Dride-eiect to again en- deavor to obtain the consent to a peaceful union: but the old couple were as obdurate as ever. When pressed to state their objections fully the old gentleman said; in the first place, his daughter was too young; second, that he could not see where it came i'll for that Blatz to act in the capacity of best man, and further -if that Dntchman attempted to kiss his daughter after the formali- ties were over, there would be trou- ble sure: but Maloney informs us, however, that the event will take place at the Opera-house Monday. January 27, just the same. Joy be with you 12O2t

DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
THAT'S WHAT MRS. F. A. STANLEY
 SAYS ABOUT HER HUSBAND.
Others Say He Lost s2s5 in a Poker. Game
 Last Night.

A rumor was current on the streets this morning that Mr. Frank A. Stanley, the well known plumber, had been robbed of over $200 last night but the facts in the case are hard to obtain.
 This afternoon GRAPHIC repor- ter met Mrs. Stanley and asked her if the rumor that her husband had been robbed last night was true, and with emphasis and tears in her eyes she replied as follows:
 s'Yes, he was drugged and robbed of $225 and then taken to the Arling- ton Hotel where he is confined in a room and is not able to stand up. I was sent for this morning, and when 1 searched his pockets. I found a half-ounce bottle of laudnum, half of which had been taken.
 "He must have been drinking, suggested the reporter.
 T suppose he drank some beer, which was drugged:o was the prompt response. "Mr. Stanley never gets drunk.
 Had he been gambling y next asked the reporter.
 /" No, I think not, was the reply. " He was drugged and robbed" she added again with emphasis.
 From other parties, however, the learned that Mr. Stanley was engaged in a poker game last night in the rear of Hotel Trulock and that he lost heavily.
 As We before stated, particulars are meager, but when Mr. Stanley reeoyers he may be able to throw some light on the question. It is one that shonld be investigated at least by the police

In Memory of Mrs. Nettis Pitts Andrew Just as the sun proclaimed the dawn
 Of a cold and misty day, She meekly folded her hands and smiled,
 Then quietly passed away. We watched her strength each hour grow less
 Her brightning eye and cheek; We saw her lIfe-sands waste away,
 Unnumbered, slowly, meek. We met her smile of tenderness
 And marked the labored breath, The feeble pulse and wanning strength
 The messenger of Death. Then filled with heavenward trust
 We saw her close her tired eyes, As the Saviour bore her swiftly
 To her mansion in the skies A loving, faithful wife is gone;
 mother, patient sweet. Ever soothing all the cares to rest
 That snared her ehildren's feet; A tender, thoughtful daughter;
 And to all sincere and true; 4 gentle voice that spoke to bless,
 A willing hand to do. Thy will. 0 Christ. not ours, bc done,
 We say it, tho tis hard. We feel we can not spare her, But we gave her up to God. And though we gricvo to lose her. Her death we can't depiore; For we know she crossed the portals That tha Saviour 1rod before
