Franklin NJ Edlnger, a grocer at
114l5 street, southwest, was headed
straight for the realms of matrimonial
bliss one day recently and making rec
ord time until he reached the city hall
and applied for license, says the
Washington Post There he took sud
den header into an abyss of despair
and 1S-year-old Lena Jobst was she'd

people had talked the matter over ana
arranged for quiet little wedding 10
which their friends were to be invited.
The prospective bridegroom's lace wore
a radiant smile as he bounded into the
clerks office. 1t was all Tight-he was
2S and Lena was Is; he was quite sure
she was IS and would be 10 in Decem-
Der. He was a citizen OF the United
States, he told the clerk, and then the
clerk said:
lis Lena a citizen, too"
That struck the applicant as rather n
good joke, and he laughed and said he
would tell Lena when he went home,
but the clerk finally convinced Frank
lin that he was thoroughly in earnest;
that 1t was necessary to swear Lena
was citizen. VOL, the man who was
trying to become a benedict said he did
not know. Lena had been brought to
the United States by her parents when
she was ? years old. Was her fathef

Underneath the car on each side are
two guide wheels, which stand at right

posed to elevate the road to a sufficient

however, it will only be necessary to
elevate the road to a sufficient height
TO clear the ground, and at crossings,
where the elevation can be made suffi-
cient to allow teams to pass beneath
the rail. The first cost of such a road
will be somewhat greater than the or
binary road, but the inventor says ii
will be cheaper in the end, as there
will be no constant repairs for roadbed

An Italian aeronaut, named Capazza,
has invented two balloon attachments,
which are said to have fully realized
the expectations formed of them. The
one is an enormous parachute stretch
ed over a balloon, and the other fold
ed, inverted parachute, which immcdi-
ately acts as huge air brake and eff

On the other hand should the air yes
sci explode through expansion, fire or

comes into action and descent may
be made without the slightest incon-

THE MOUNTAIN WAIF.
Is the Next Dramatic Attraction at the
 Noaales Opera House.

Noaaies Opera House.
 Wednesday evening, May 27th, the Nogales Dramatic Association will present at the Nogales Opera House, the ever popular melodrama, "The Mountain Waif," with the cast of characters admirably distributed among those workers whose painstak- ing and effective work has the past winter contributed so much pleasure to the amusment loving public of the line cities. It is unnecessary for TIE OASIS to enlarge upon the entertain ment guaranteed the people of Noga- les on this occasion, for the past work Of the ladies and gentlemen in the cast is too well known torequre more than mention of the fact that they are to appear, to draw them munif cent patronage.
 The scene of the play is laid in mining camp in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and in the first act the principal characters appear at"Miners Roost," a frontier hotel kept by "Krautzr a dutchman who is also the sheriff. Jack Wilbur aplucky young fellow from New York, and his sister have just arrived, and in the nick of time Jack prevents "Delmar" the vil lain of the play from swindling As teroilt, young New York dude of his acquaintance,in in an attempt to sell him a worthless mine. High words ensue, Jack Wilbur "thumps" Monte Millern an accomplice of Delmar's, who immediately draws his pistol to shoot the plucky New Yorker. Before he can do so, however, Bill Mason," the stage drirer covers Delmar with his own gun and saves Jack. h the meantime "Doiley Wilbur Jacks sister, and "Meg, the Mountain Waif" have conceived strong natural at tachment, and when, little later, Delmar insults Meg, Jack and his ready fist are again at hand, but this time Jacks blows are backed up by a revolver Bill Masons advice at the time of the former encounter, Ito larn to punch a feller with one hand and draw yer gun with the other," having been taken to heart, much to the dis comfture of the villain.
 In the second act Jack Wilbur and Meg, and Bill Mason and Dolly Will bur come to a mutual understanding all around, with the usual accompani- ment of wedding bells in the distance. Jack again floors Delmar in an at tempt to buy for ten thousand dollars a supposed worthless mine, lbut in reality worth ten times that amount, ] which had been left Meg by her fath- CT. Bill Mason's mine has also turned out of great value, and the love mak- ing of the two happy pairs is gilded by he happy consciousness of compe- tence. Of course the happy go lucky "Parson Tibbs, who is to tie both knots, and his business like much better halfn are of material assistance
