Welded IN HASTE.
Southern Couple Married Two Hours
After Meeting.

Nashville, Nov. Soon after the ar
rival of the train from Atlanta on We'd
nesday night well dressed lady of 80
or thereabouts registered at the Max
we'll house as Miss Annie Waters, At
lanta."
She inquired for Mr.. Black, manager
of the hotel and on meeting him, ask
ed if a gentleman had called for her
Mr.. Black replied that he had not
heard any one ask for her. Miss Wa
ters then explained that she was in
Nashville for the purpose of meeting
her sweetheart and getting married.
She did not know him, she said, never
having seen him, but he had telegraph
ed her to meet him at the Maxwell
House His name was Masters and he
was a merchant in Arkansas, she said.
Mr.. Black and the Maxwells clerks
became very much interested of course.
Miss Waters took a seat in the arcade
overlooking the lobby and anxiously
watched the thrOng of men coming in
and going out on the marble tiles be-
low.
She had not been watching many
minutes when a blond gentleman walk
ed up to the register and wrote on the
book John Masters, Arkansas"
Mr.. Masters asked If a Miss Waters
was in the hotel.
Yes, she is upstairs now, waiting for
YOU the clerk replied.
where is she?' Mr.. Masters inquir-
ed, with agitation, as his blue eyes
swept along the line of faces looking
over the rail.
Some were beauties and some were
women sUffragists. The sunragists
were holding a convention in Nashville
and the hotel was full of them. Masters
did not know whether he had drawn
one of them or not until Mr.. Black
pointed out to him his lady love.
''She is the lady in the brown travel
ing dress, with the white rose" said
Mr.. Black.
The manager took Mr.. Masters by
his trembling arm and led him up the
marble steps and around to Miss Wa
ters. Mr.. Black introduced the couple,
who hastily looked each other over.
They. seemed to be satisfied and walked
down the corridor, remarking that they
did not wish to detain the manager
from the Office.
The clerks had told the story to some
guests, among them some Atlantians.
The latter of course were deeply inter
ested and they soon were haunting the
ladies' parIor. The lovers strolIed down
one of the side corridors, and leaning
up against the wall, talked over their
romance and their plans. Mr.. Masters
showed some embarrassment, not to
say nervousness. Miss Waters was
more at ease. Her eyes Sparkled and
she smiled as she talked.
Mr.. Masters had obtained a license
during the afternoon and had arranged
with a justice of the peace to call at the
hotel at O'Clock. They kept him wait
ing an hour before they invited him in
to the parlor and announced that they
were ready for the ceremony Half
dozen guests stepped inside to witness
the ceremony.
The next day the bride and groom
were at the exposition. They were a
little shy, but seemed to be getting on
very we'll That night they left the

WHAT DRINK DOES
John Lantz Has an Attack of
Delirium Tremens.
Taken to the Salvation Army
Hospital
Where He is Held in Bed and
Given Opiates,

There is one right in front of me-"
cried John Lantz the moment he stepped
inside the Salvation Army hospital. His
eyes were bIoodshot and his face white
with terror and apprehension. His hands
and face twitched nervously. His lips
were tightly shut and his nostrils ex-
panded. He was the picture of abject
terror. His breath was heavy with the
fumes of alcohol and it was with an ef-
fort that he could stand steadily.
''WiH you take this case?'' asked the
man who accompanied him.
Certainly said the hospital steward.
What is the matter with hfm?''
Acute alcoholism (delirium tremens),
was the short reply.
I'VE will fix a bed for him upstairs -
said the steward
Lantz was reeling around, hardly able
to stand. He would stare f1xedly at some
dark corner of the room and act as if
spellbound. Then he would suddenly
start back step and clutch at the near
est person.
In short time the steward returned
and said that the bed was ready for the
patient.
Come, john said his friend
''Where are you going to take me, past
that thing?" he cried, pointing to the
shadow that the light threw across the
first step of the stairway.
1T will not hurt you The assurance
was enough for the man, but it took all
the nerve he had left to pass the object
that seemed to him like a monster. When
he came to the shadow he tried to spring
across it.
He was taken upstairs into a nice, clean
room. The bed was in waiting for him.
He peered into each corner of the room.
and when his eye found the darkest one
he shrank back in terror. Take it away
take it away he cried trembling with
fear and dread.
There is nothing there, "said his friend
Yes there is. can see it's eyes. They
are looking right at me. For Gods sake
get me out of this" Then he grabbed at
his knees and ankles. It's got me Take
it off, take it off" He jumped and yelled,
wild in the delirium that something had
hold of him.
He was finally put to bed, and as he
lay back between the clean, cool sheets
he breathed a sigh of relief and closed
his eyes. Suddenly he raised himself on
one elbow and looked fixedly at the foot
board of the bed. He looked at the right
hand corner and allowed his eyes to wan
der slowly across to the other end. He
drew himself into a cramped position as
if ready to spring. Suddenly he threw
himself backward and attempted to rise,
but the attendants held him in the bed.
Lie quietly" said the steward, moth
ing will hurt you"
It's got two heads; take it off, off, off,
yelled the unfortunate man.
Finally he was pacified and fell into
troubled sleep. Opiates were given him
and two persons remained with him all
night holding him in bed. Today he is
resting comfortably and will soon be able
to leave the hospital with a pledge on his
tongues end never to taste liquor again.

BIG YERKEs TELESCOPE
Proves That There is Not Any Life on
the Moon.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Neither water, nor
air, nor vegetation, nor evidence of life
in any form can be seen on the moon
through the most powerful telescope
ever constructed. The great Yerkes
telescope has already entered upon it's
career of scientific usefulness by ad-
ding further proof to the weI-eStab-
lished fact that the moon is a dead
world. It has been trained upon the
lunar sphere by two of the best known
astronomers of this country, who are
connected with the YerkeS observatory,
at a time when by a peculiar cOinci-
dence the scientists of Paris were
greatly agitated over the discovery of
what they believed to be indications of
rivers and plants upon the moon
It was the good fortune of F. L. o.
staff, to get the first glimpse of the
moon through the YerkeS telescope. E.
E. Barnard was the next member of
the staff to gaze at the far-away planet
and the conclusions of these two learn
ed gentlemen are identical in that they
agree that neither discovered anything
of Importance to the scientific world.
The peculiar lines and spots noticed by
the Partisan astronomers on the map
of the lunar plafnsphere that is being
photographed in the Meudon obserVa-
tory were not to be seen through the
Yerkes telescope There was nothing
additional to be noticed but an unusual
amount of detail on the surface of the
moon never seen before.
1.-The moon is a magnificent sight seen
through the Yerkes instrument" said
Mr.. Barnard last night. zone can see
an enormous number of small details
never seen before, such as small craters
and minute crevasses, but there are no
traces of air nor vegetable life to be
detected. 1t is possible that the lines
found on the photograph taken at the
MeudOn observatory might be crevas-
ses. I don't pretend to say what they
represent. only know that the obser-
vations taken here fail to give any con-
firmation of the theories of the Paris
ian astronomers.
The reported discoveries at the
French observatory aroused the inter
est of a number of astronomers who
are gathered at the Yerkes observatory
for the purpose of attending it's dedica-
ton this week. None of the number
was ready to give any Endorsement of
the theory that life prevailed in any
form on the moon. If the atmospheric
conditions had been favorable last night
it is likely that every one of the dis
unguished scientists would have avail
ed himself of the chance to peep at the
moon, but this pleasure had to be for
gone, because of the clouds.
