 Playing PooI--A Happy Sequel.

~ Thursday night Harry Maxim and Miss Viola Higgins were married by Rev. pr. w. K. Simpson at the young lady's home on Tenth street ard Eleventh ave- nue.

 According to a story told yesterday this was the second attempt of the young couple to get married. It was said a date had been selected some time ago, and the young lady prepared her. self for the wedding ceremony. The groom came not. She waited for him, but the night waned and still he failed to put in his appearance. The story is that the girrs brother went out to hunt him and found him engaged in game of pool He had, evidently, forgotten it was his wedding night.
 When he saw the brother come in the door, 1t is claimed he left the place by another way He is credited with say ing at that time that he did not want a wife. A reversal of opinion took place and he again went to the young lady and asked her to fix another day. The we'd ding of Thursday night was the happy sequel to the unusual affair.

AN ADJOURNMENT TO-DAY
That Seems to Be Probable to the Leaders of
the House.
Doubt MS to Whether Currency Com.
mission Message Will BE Sent
to Congress.

The House is greatly embarrassed over
the currency commission proposition The
republican managers do not yet know what
they are going to do about it. The Speaker
is informed that the Presidents message
is to be sent in today. and he and his lieu
tenants had the Question of what should be
done under consideration this morning. 1t
appears that there is grave doubt about 1t
being possible to get a measure of the sort
the President wants through the House
without more extended consideration than
would be possible under existing circum-
stances, and there is great opposition to
anything being attempted. Efforts are,
therefore. still befrg made to prevent the
President from sending in the message.
Therefore the republican managers are
still somewhat in doubt as to the message
coming in, though their information is that
1t will. and they have been utterly unable
to make up their minds as yet whether to
make an effort to pass the commission res
oution If the message does come.
The managers have been sounding men,
bers of the House or the subject. and
there Is to be meeting of the committee
on rules this afternoon. 1t is the mten-
ton of M. Dingley to bring in an adjourn

the expectation of the republican leaders
