A MEAN COUPLE.
They Make Good Livelihood by Getting
 Married Often.


 Married Often.
 Ono of tho meanest confidence garaes on record Is that which was played by a we'll dressed man and woman upon clergymen of several towns along tho sound shore. The couple first appeared in Branford, Conn.,, where they visited the town clerk and procured q marriage license. Then they went to the house of 0 clergyman and were married. The groom after the ceremony handed the parson $20 bill and told him to take $5 for his services. Tho minister did so and gave the newly welded husband $16 ill change.
 The couple left on the next east bound train, got Of at Guilford and went through the same performance there. In ell they visited five towns botween Clin. ton and New London, were married in each town and worked off five S20 eoun. terfeit bills New York Press.

of private holders by restoring the levy of one-half mill for such sinking fund, repealed last session, and by crediting the common school fund on the books of the Treasurer with the aggregate amount of principal and interest due-an actual issue of new bonds not being necessary and give directions to the Treasurer to credit annually this fund with interest at an agreed rate, to be paid out of the proceeds of this one half mill levy after the small balance due to private holders has been paid off, and that thereafter thessum so credited as interest be added to the amount arising from the too small tax for disbursement for immediate use. Under this arrangement, , concludes the Governor, in a few years the State would find the school fund to be her only creditor, and then the matter will become a very simple one.
 Concerning collection of the reve- nue, it is recommended that the State be divided into three or four districts providing different time in each for collecting State taxes, and so remedy the mischief of an- nually withdrawing large sum of money from actual circulation.
 The Governor discovers that the military pension roll needs revision, as many of the pensioners whom the law did not contemplate assisting are on the roll, and thus those truly entitled to the States bounty are being robbed of their portion.
 The present penal system is de- clared by theaGoyernor to be expen- sive, adopted and continued to es- cape "the barbarities practiced un- der the so-called lease system.

 vict labor, of line of railways tc connect with the several systems in Little Rock and to extend far enough west to reach the competing systems to be found there.
 The election system is commended, a few defects pointed out, and con- solidation of State and National elections as to date vigorously urged.
 Relating to public schools the Governor is against the petty dis trict system with local trustees, and suggests that a school district should consist of an entire county, that county superiutendents should be created who should have "exam- ination, employment and dismissal of teachers, and general direction of work in the school room, and in the the management of the business or

Mrs. Kearney frequently utters some
sharp things in speaking of Judge Fitz-

which Mr.. Capron signed the will giving
her and her sisters the bulk of the estate
Mrs. Kearney returned TO what the de-
ceased had SAID about Judge Fitzgerald.
She testified:

father said that Judge Fitzgerald was all very
nice before the world, but that he was very
slippery. "a ther told me many things about
the private affairs of the Judge, but l do not
think that has any bearing on this case.
At one time in March, 1897, Judge Fitz-
gerald took luncheon at the Capron house,
and Mr. Capron said he was very fortu-
nate to have three such daughters to take
care OF him, as he was an old man and
gave US much trouble. To this Judge
FITZGERALD gave his assent, saying that
Mr.. Capron was indeed fortunate. At the

manded payment. There was hot time
in Duffey's collar that day after the COL
lector left, and Duffey repaired 10 the
silver palace of the Saxon, which is at
Hardie place.
"What in Tortarus do you mean by
sending miserable collector to annoy
me?" demanded Duffey. If he comes
again I'll brain him with a yard of lead
pipe"
''Tis not the fault of the collector" ex-
planned the Saxon Burridge gently. "He
but performs a duty entrusted to him by
ourselves. Perchance thy Celtic blood
boileth because we have dispatched our
vassal 10 tap thy exchequer. IT'S well.
An thy blooi boileth, let her boil.''
Then the hot blood OF Duffey the Celt
boiled over again and he uttered many
hard sayings. so that the sllversmith
challenged him TO open com bat, but the
Duffey declined tha challenge because of
the great multitude OF passers-by, and be
thereupon went his way in peace, but
breathing steam and vengeance.
That was six months ago. Six weeks
ago the siIversmith grew fatigued with
waiting and attached the Duffey.
Yesterday they met for the first time in
months. Burridge the Saxon went into
thG barber-shop on Hardie place, just op-
posite his place of business. He no sooner
entered the door than he encountered the
blazing eyes of Duffey. The Duffey face
was snow white with lather, but the Duf-
fey eyes shone through like an Arctic sun
through a Klondike fog.
Before the dazed siIversmith could re-
cover from his amazement Duffey leaped
out of the barber's chair with the linen
towels Tapping around his neck and
struck heroic attitude in the center of
the floor.
DO you think you're as good man as
you we're six months ago?" demanded the
Duffey.
II think I am" responded Burridge,
with modest intonation.
Mr.. Burridge threw off his coat. Mr..
Duffey was already in his shirt sleeves
Burridge feinted with his right, but the
next moment something heavy and hard
struck him on the chin and he tum bled
over a bar ber's chair and wiped seven bot
ties OF hal. tonic off the counter with his
head. But he was UP again like flash
and smote the right fist of Duffey with his
mustache.
Feeling weary of such tactics, he seated
himself without loss OF time in an iron
Cuspidor.
In the next round he managed to get in

plumbe fell against e shaving-case and
broke several gold plated mugs.

POOR AND NEEDY
MOURuBD HIM
The Body Of the Late Cor
nelius O'Connor Now
Lies in the Vault.
Pathetic Tributes Of Love From
Those Whom His Charity
Relieved.
Simple but Impressive Ceremonies
Marked the 0bsequies at House
and Cemetery.

With services that were touchingly sad
owing to their simplicity the last rites
over the mortal remains Of Cornelius
o Connor were performed at his late resi-
dence, 825 O'Farrell street, yesterday
morning.
With the political life and business
energy Of the dead man the whole COM
munlty is we'll acquainted, but there was
side 10 his stay on earth that was hid
den because of the unostentatious charac-
ter of the man. But al the obsequies this
side was brought out-not in eulogy of
priest or praise of those who had worked
by his side. While the throng of friends
and relatives overcrowded the spacious
parlors and halls of the residence and
gave testimony to the respect they bore
their departed friend there was another
throng patiently waiting on the outsid @
until the last words were said, the last
song sung-waiting only to pay mute
tribute to their benefactor who had been a
friend 10 them in distress and when sore
need pressed at their heels.
The tribute of this whiting crowd, who
sat on the doorsteps and curbstones, was
pathetic in Its silence and tears. They
knew of phase in the life of Cornelius
O'Connor that had been hidden from his
most intimate friends and their unspoke n
woe was greater tribute than sermon
and anthem that were heard within the
closed DOORS
The simple house services of the Catho-
lie church were soemnized by the Very
Rev Father j. J. Prendergast, vicar
general of the archdiocese, and in a brief
address he told of the virtues of the man
who has gone. He spoke of HIM as a
Christian and as a man, and impre ssed
those present with his ea-nestness
The musical services, which were in
keeping with the simplicity that marked
The ceremonies, were conducted by H. J.
Stewart, organist of Trinity Church, who
was assisted by Miss Millie Flynn and
Donald de V. Graham. Miss Flynn sang
Gounod's There Is q Green Hill Far
Away" Mr.. Graham sang Koenen s
Come Unto Me-" and Mr.. Stewart rem
dered several requiem voluntaries. These
services with two prayers were concluded
at 11:30 and the body was borne to the
waiting hearse by the following pail
bearers:
John w. Mackay, Richard V. Dey John d.
Spreckels. Irving NJ. Scott, Fulton g. Berry.
Grove T. Ayers, Reuben II. Lloyd and John
Rosenfeld.
The cortege proceeded to Calvary Gem
eiery, where the body was placed in the
receiving vault until the mausoleum al
Cypress Lawn is comp!et ted, when the
body, with that of his late wife, will be re.
moved and placed in their final home.
There were no ceremonies ut the ceme-
terry beyond the regular interment rites
of the church.
