Barbara Riedinger Marries Louis
Rosencranse in a Hospital.

Elizabeth, N j., July 1o.-Surely no
stranger circumstances than those sur
| rounding the wedding OF Barbara Riednger
| and Louis Rosencranse, ia Alexian Broth
ers' Hospital yesterday
The girl was tile picture of health, the
| man. who is but twenty one years old, was
at deaths door, and when he cIasped the
eyes gave his face an expression that
seemed uneartbly. The ceremony was per
formed half an hour before an operation
upon the young man was begun by The
hospital physician
The outcome OF the operation no one
could foretel 1t was the last Glitch in
the Doctors battle against death, AMI If
that were crossed, the sufferer would
never Come back from the Land Of Nod,
into which the ether administered to make
him forget the pain would send linn.

taken TO the Alcxian Hospital carly in
June. The original trouble was checked,
but in his weakened condition he could
not fight against other complications. and
at last the doctors said the diseased tis-
sues must be cut away
When the result OF the consultation was
carried 10 the sick room Rosencranse fell
back upon his pillows ana closed his eyes
The girl saw that without something TO keep
up his courage he would never survive The
operation.
she called upon the Rev. Mr. Fischer, the
pastor of the German Lutheran Church,
where, following the old German custom,
the bans for their marriage had been pub

her sweetheart at once.
The girls earnestness overrode the half

German churchnan, and just an hour after
walds the two. accompanied by John Ried
niger. young Adolph Hoeber. the brother
| and brotherin-law of the gIrl, stood at the

The ceremony was short. The hos

! open doorway, the hride knclt by the
SIDE Of the bed aud the sick man put
out his hand, which the girl elias ped Ia

The old clergyman read the ritualstic
ceremony, and thu organ in the uttl,

hlematic of the old German folklore
history, and as the ring slipped over the
finger of the girl strains OF Men,
| deIssohn's wedding march filled the cor
rldurs cf the hos pital.
Then the bride went away, and hair an

BASE BALL.

All the necessary arrangements have
been completed whereby Bloomsbury
becomes a member of the Central
Pennsylvania League of Base Ball
clubs, and all the admirers of the
national game will have an opportuni-
ty to see minor league ball here this
season. The club will be under the
management OF William Watts, who
has had years of experience, and who
at different times has been connected
with some of the fastest aggregations
in the State. He has used more than
ordinary judgment in his selection of
men to play the different positions,
and person can gain some informa-
ton as to how strong the team will
be by reading the following list OF
names who have all signed Blooms
burg contracts:
Geo. Goodhart, Reading; Zeke
Moore, Camden Harry Fisher,
Altoona H. G.. McNeely, Dauphin
Co.; Mike Dunn, Philadelphia J.
A. Messerly, Chicago; J. P. Jahus,
Greensburg; and two or three more
no have not yet been signed.
The season opens on May IS, when
Bloomsburg will play at Sunbury, and
| Sunbury will be here for game or
Monday, May II, when all the rooters
should be out in full force and give
the new club some encouragement by
their presence. Milton is going te
have a good club this season, ane
| have already raised nearly three thou
sand dollars, in order to place thei
team on good financial footing, ane
| if that can be done at Milton, VIII,
can't it be done here There is nj
reason why it can't, all that is neces
sary is to get good start, and keel
the interest up. Of course the team
will have to play good ball, and wi
at least half of the games, or the
cannot expect to see large crowds
There is nobody going to walk to tn
park and pay quarter to see the hom
club defeated every day. But W
J don't see why Bloomsbury should nj
win majority of their games tn
!, season and if they get the prop'
e encouragement, and an attendant
y each day sufficient to guarantee the
S expenses, 1t won't be bit surprislr

SHE GOT THE DOLLAR.

That "push a dollar through hole
in the card" game is a good one. So
thought prominent Bloomsbury gen
tleman when he had the trick played
on him, so good that he concluded 1t
would be just the thing to amuse him
self with, at his daughters expense.
After preparing card by cutting a
small round hole about the size OF a
dime In the center of it, he went home
chuckling to himself over the prospec'
tive fun he was going to have. When
he reached his domicile he called his
daughter, and laying silver dollar on
the table and producing his card he
told her that if she could push that
dollar through the hole in the card he
would give her the dollar. Without
the slightest hesitation the young lady
picked up the card, put her hnge'
through it, placed her finger on the
dollar on the table, and pushed 1t
Then with a sweet smile on her inno
