SHE cYcLED TO HER WEDDING
And Then the Bride Promised Her
Husband Never to Ride Again

Through a maze of trucks and vehi-
cles of all kinds which choked Chambers
street Friday morning a wheelwoman
carefully threaded her way. In front OF
the Stewart building two men stood.
Keep cool, Jack" said one to the
other; She'll be here all right"
In another minute the girl a-wheel
hove in sight and brought up to the
curbstone with a smiling face.
"Are you ready. Anna?" queried Jack.
eyes. or wouldn't be here, would II"
Then Jack took hold Of the wheel and
trundled it over toward the city hall,
while the girl in the short skirts followed
with his companion. At the city hall the
latter assumed command. He called
Joe, the bootblack. to guard tho wheel,
and then led the others into the mar
riage bureau. Alderman Wund soon
appeared. and the usual entries were
made in the records Of the bureau. The
girl described herself as Anna Lunda-
wall, "a years old; the man as John cum
ningham, 2S years old. 1t took Alder
man Wund exactly sixty-seven seconds
to make Miss Lundawall Mrs. Cum
ningham, and then the party left. Be-
hind this city hall wedding turks
pretty little romance. The bride left
New Canaan, Conn, on her wheel We'd
nesday, and rode every inch of the way
to New York. 1t took her seven hours
to pedal the forty-five miles. She went
to a friends, where she spent the night.
The next morning she donned her bicycle
costume and rode down to the city
hall.
John Cunningham is the family
coachman of John r. Downey. the mil
lionaire builder of the Astor estates, who
has a country place at New Canaan
When the family left town last May
Cunningham was taken along. Mrs.
Downey needed a maid, and the little
Connecticut town was hunted over, with
the result that Anna Lundawall was Sc
cured for the place.
Anna and Jack fell in love and a
month ago, when the Downeys decided
to return to town, they had agreed upon
a plan of future domestic bliss. There
were only two difficulties in the way.
Jack hates bicycles. like all true horse
men, while Anna loves them. Jack is a
Catholic and Anna Protestant. Anna
agreed to give up her wheel on the day
of her wedding. and Jack promised not
to ask her to change her religious faith.
Thus the two obstacles We're smoo.hed
away. But Anna decided to bid adieu to
her wheel by riding every inch of the
way from New Canaan.-New York

DANCE GOWNS
New Ideas for the Holiday
Season
SIMPLICITY IS THEIR CHARM
FLUFFY TRANsPARENCIEs AND
GIRLISH IN EFFECT
Chiffon, Mousseline de Sole, Tulle,
Net Point d'Esprit and Gauze
Are Used Extensively

PARIS, Nov. 24-(Special Correspond
ence to The Herald.) dance gowns"
claim especial notice at the shops just
now. They are fluffy in effect, and ex-
ceedingly girlish-looking, for their SIM
plicity is one Of their chiefest charms.
Chiffon, mousseline de sole, tulle, net
point de'esprit and gauze are all used in
great quantities over transparencies of
silk or satin.
To insure "bouffee" effect the skirts
are made double and even triple over
the transparencies, and narrow ruches
or bands of satin ribbon trim them pro-
fusely.
Over the tight-fitting corsage of silk
or satin the fluffy materials are draped
and puffed in a great variety of ways,
and if the effect is full and ample it is
"a la mode" The sleeves are the only
thing about these dance gowns that do
not boast full effect. In most cases
they are conspicuous by their absence,
and high, trimmed shoulder straps or
berthes serve in lieu of sleeves.
PINK HOLDS SWAY
Pink is the color that holds sway at
the present for evening gowns. Not so
much the paler shades, but the intense
coral and watermelon shades are most
in vogue.
Another bright pink dance gown was
made of gauze over pink satin trans
parency. The skirt was a full double
skirt, trimmed around the bottom with
four bands of pink satin ribbon.
The corsage of pink satin was square
necked, and was covered full with the
gauze. Around the top it was trimmed
with three rows of pink satin ribbon.
From each armhole seam came strips OF
the gauze that crossed at the front and
were knotted at the back with long

are quite bloused, although there are
those who prefer the tight-fitting waist
Still these are so much in the minority
that you hardly notice them, and in a
long days shopping tour did not see a
tight ball dress.
Slippers match the trimming of the
dress. They come in cerise, blue, pink,
yellow, and indeed all the colors with
which a dress is trimmed. They give a
chance for the most charming harmony
With a dress of butter-c -colored yellow
taffeta I noticed cerise slippers, belt
hair ribbon and fan, and the skirt was
embroidered in the same shade.
Shopkeepers very often display these
gowns in what we would consider a
mussed-up state. They are wrinkled
before they are sold, but this, they say,
detracts nothing from their beauty.

officer Says That Diligent Effort Was
Made To Apprehend Escaping Lesees
The Busted Miner Squcalcd With.
Out Cause.
Sheriff Taylor denounces as false in
every particular rumor which was
circulated about town last week to the
effect that he had been negligent in the
matter of trying to catch and arrest the
two men who absconded from tho
Willow Creek mines. lie says that
about six O'Clock in the evening he re-
celVed a telephone message from Boise
apprising him of the fact that one of
the men was in town and asking him
to find and hold him. He promptly
took steps to do so. Shortly after
wards man named Brezell who was
formly an employe Of the absconders
appeared and asked the Sheriff's as
sstance. The Sheriff and Deputy Mad
den Immediately set about searching
for the culpritS. Marshal Maxey was
also active in the hunt, but the men
wanted could not be found. The
Sheriff believes that the runnawayB
were informed that the officers were
after them through the indiscretion
of BreZell himself. The only possible
grounds for criticism, says Sheriff Tay-
lOr, was the fact that he refused to 60
into the country to hunt the men with.
out warrant of arrest. He says that
he could not legally arrest suspects
without warrant. Deputy Madden
kept close watch around the depot and
went as far as Nampa with the only
train that passed through town that
night. Brezsll made some complaint
of lack OF diligence on the part of the
officers but it was wholly unjustihed.
Sheriff Taylor AYERS that he did not
intimate to any one that he was
Indifferent because there was nothing
in it for him, but, on the other hand,
did considerable work knowing he
would be paid nothing for it. City
Marshal Maxey says that he is satisfied
that Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Mad
den did all that could be done under
the circumstances. 1t is believed that
the men would have been arrested had
Brezell been less loquacious.

Books.
Experts Handy and Ollie completed
an investigation of the assessment rolls
of 1895 and 1896 last Wednesday and
have prepared a report to submit to the
County Commissioners next Monday
when special meeting of the board
will be held. The experts are reticent
respecting the tenor of their discoveries
and will give nothing for publlclica-
ton. 1t is leaking out, however, that
serious Irregularities or mistakes have
been discovered and that Ex-Assessor
Horn will probably be called upon to
make good or to explain away con-
siderable deficit. The amount is yari-
ously placed at from $500 to $1,000.
