MARRIED A WAITRESS.
A Member Of the Distinguished RhineIander
Family Takes Another Erra,ic Step.

| A waitress has married a Rhine
lander, a member of one of New
York's oldest, richest and most distin-
guished families, and society is duly
indignant. The bridegroom is William
Copeland Rhinelander and the bride
Jullette Kathleen Maier.
Mr.. Rhinelander makes his home
away from the city, at the desire of
his relatives, who keep him in cash to
the extent of $roo a week, but ten
days ago he established himself in a
furnished room in Twenty fourth
street. A convenient restaurant was
in Twenty-third street, and there Mr..
Rhinelander went to dine. He was
waited upon by a genteel young
woman with an abundance of black
hair and glowing dark eyes. The
diner looked at the waitress, then
looked at her again. He spoke to
her, she answered, and her voice was
| pleasant to hear.
He returned to the restaurant for
his next meal, and went there many
times, always contrlving to get the
services of the young woman with the
hair and eyes and voice. She told
him she was Jullette Maier, that she
was % years old and that she lived
with her widowed mother, an elder
brother and little sister, at No. aga
East Twenty-frst street.
She may have mentioned that her
brother, William, who is IS years old,
is employed in downtown wholesale
house and is an artist of no mean
ability also that her father, Richard
J. Maer, was for many years cutlery
manufacturer in this city, but lett
little property when he died.
She might also have said that blue
blood ran in her veins, her great
grandfather on her mothers side hav-
ing been Baron Henry, George Won
Blgle, of Baden Baden, a rich and
powerful man of his time.
Al lStulh III tlSSG COIluuGnCGS lnS
interested listener, Mr.. Rhinelander,
may have mentioned that years ago
he had taken to wife a housemaid in
his fathers family, and that a divorce
followed, and possibly he narrated
other episodes in his somewhat un-
usual career. But whether or not he
spoke of these things, it is certain
that he did of love, and he asked
Jullette to become his bride.
After some solicitation and court
ing-always In the restaurant-they
journeyed few days ago to the
Little Church Around lhe Corner and
were married.

This is the same Rhnelander who,
some years ago came to Bloomsburg
with his wife, and after stopping at
the Exchange Hotel a short time,
took rooms at the Sanitarium, then
kept by DIR. Shattuck. The Rhine
landers were the subjects of much
gossip at that time.

To Help the UNEMPLOYED.

Colonel Sullivan, secretary TO Mayor
Phelan-The delay in constructing the
Postoffice building is an outrage. When
the large mum Der of unem ployed is con-
sidered the urgency appears. Consider
that our Postoffice is one of the most i'm
portant in the United States, yielding a
large revenue. Also consider the large
amount of money collected through the
Customs service and Internal Revenue
service here. Then it will be seen how
unfairly we are being treated in this
matter. The only way to accomplish
anything is to get after our representa-
tives in Washington. Action Will follow
when the situation is fully compIehended
by the Government

service in advocating a more energetic
course. The first thing TO be done is to
ascertain, through Cur Senators and Rep
resentatives at Washington, to what cause
the delay is due. That is the only way to
reach a proper understanding of the real
facts. The Postoffice building will be one
OF the finest in the United States. Pressure
should be exerted on Representatives at
Washington. There are so many men
idle that this is surely the opportune time
to make a start
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-25

ask the Senate to put an amendment on
the sundry civil appropriation bill asking
for $1,000 for more borings and not take
this amount from the original appropria-
tion for the building"
Representative 6arham said he thought
the cause of delay in not only the San
Francisco Postotfice, but the improvement
of rivers and harbors. was owing to the
fact that the present administration did
not propose to issue more bonds during its
last days

delegation should do the business for u.s.
do not know any better thing for San
Francisco than the beginning of work on
the new Postoffice. We have two San
Francisco Congressman. Two Senators
can also be credited TO San Francisco, for
they were elected by the votes of San
Francisco Senators and Assem- blvmen at
Sacramento. The present Postoffice is the

islature 10 send on memorial to Wash
ington to urge our representatives to take
the proper action.
