A MATRIMONIAL MIx-UP.
Six Weddings of Special Interest In
One Little Town.

News of q most extraordinary matri-
monial mix-up, involving six couples,
comes from the little town of Roley, in
Adair county, Ky, says the Baltimore
Sun. The six weddings all occurred on
the same day-three in the morning
and three in the afternoon. In the
morning o. S. Dunbar and Nora Tucker,
Robert Hood and Minnie McWhorter,
w. R. Hopkins and Ada McWhorter,
were married. In this trio the Nc
Whorters were sisters and Miss Tucker
was their aunt. After the triple caye-
mony the three couples went to the
home of "Uncle Bob" Tucker, father
and grandfather of the brides, to be en-
tertained. In the afternoon there were
three other weddings within an hour of
each other at the homes of the respec-
tive brides. There were u number of
singular features connected with all six
of the weddings Every couple is now
closely related to uncle Bob" Tucker,
one of the leading men Of that county.
Out of the six couples, before the we'd
ding, he had a daughter and a son, three
granddaughter a niece and q nephew.
There were In the group a brother
and sister, two sisters, two brothers,
three cousins, two uncles, an aunt, four
niecee and two nepnews, and yet no one
of the IL candidates married anyone
related to him or herseH. Another

which he starts and return to Cincin-
natl by the other one, making the
change when they meet about midway
between the termini. There is not a
trainman on the road who does not de-
votedly, love Coxey, and he lives very
high on the contributions heartily be-
slowed from the luncheons of his
friends en- transit. CoXey has habit
of getting off at way stations and then
jumping on when the train is in motion.
Occasionally he is unable to make the
jump in this manner, if the train
gets too great a start, and he makes ar
rangements accordingly. Knowing
perfectly well the route of the railroad
he will take up a journey of several
miles across the country fields and hills,
cutting off big corner, and sometimes
catching up with the train. If he is I'M
able to overtaIe it he awaits at some
way station for it's return, and then
gets on board. The dog always eats
and sleeps at night in one of the cars or
the engine cab, and is never satisfied
unless he is permitted to travel. There
is serious doubt to whom Coxey
belongs. He is claimed by nearly
every trainman on the line. None of
the citizens of Georgetown, from which
place he made his initial bow to rail-
road life, lays any ownership TO him, and
the trainmen have come to regard him
as q Joint possession of great value.

COXEY'S QUEER WAYS.
A Dog Who Delights to Ride in
Locomotive Cabs.
six Years Ago This Intelligent An
Imam Developed n Mania for Rail-
way Travel, Which He Has
Kept Up Ever Since.

There are few if any such extraordi-
nary CANNES as Coxey, dog which,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, to all in
tents and purposes, is locomotive en-
gineer on the Cincinnati, Georgetown &
Portsmouth railroad.
Coxey is white Spitz, of medium size
and uncertain age. He is not noted for
neat appearance, as six years of travel
on the railway, much of which has been
in an engine cab, have soiled his once
beautiful coat of milky white. However,
even coal dust and engine grease have
failed to obscure the attractiveness of
his long, wavy hair, which hangs in
ringlets on his breast and legs. The
dog finds a strange fascination in the
life of railroader. twas six years ago
that he strayed on board a train at
Georgetown, and took a seat among the
trunks and boxes in the baggage car.
He wagged his tail, whined and, with
other demonstrations of friendliness,
managed to ingratiate himself into the
good viii of the baggagemaster. He
rode up to Portsmouth on that occasion
and fingered about the train and came
beck with the crew on their return trip
to Cincinnati From that day to this
CoXey has never missed a run. He soon
became fast friends with the engineers
of the two passengr trains which run
daily between this city and Portsmouth,
and found the locomotive cab the most
congenial place in which to ride.
Upon entering the cab he jumps up to
the engineers box and takes a seat i'm
mediately in front of that gentleman.
Putting his head at the window, he
watches ahead on the track as far as
he can see. If cattle or other animals,
or unwary human beings, get too near
the track 'Coxey" barks loud and long,
asif to warn them of the danger, and to
resent the trespass upon his domain.
He acts in the same manner when flood
ed streams or mischievous boys place
distractions upon the track, and, in
deed, proves himself valuable assistant

to the engineer in guarding against ac-
cldent. He is very jealous of his posi-
ton on the engineers box. The engi-
Deer himself Is the only person he will
allow the privilege of sitting at his side.
In fact, the engineer must take back
seat as the dog insists upon being up
in front,almostagainst the boiler, where
he can look out of both the window
ahead and the one at the side. IF the
fireman gets too near the engineers
seat when the latter is occupying it,
CGey reeents the intrusion by growI-
ing and showing his teeth.
Occasionally he tires of riding in the
cab and finds place to rest in the bag

.O'SULLWAN GETS
A CHAR|VAR|
The Barytone's Friends
Welcome Him at the
TivOli.
" Shamus OBrien Makes a
Great Hit-Dramatic Music
and Plot.

1t would be hard to say which made the
bigger hit at the Tivoli last night Denis
O'Sullivan or "Shamus O'Brien," the
opera in which he created the title role in
London a year ago.
The California barytone's friends went
to give him charivari and very thor
oughly carried out their purpose, but
O'Sullivan's work was so connected with
the delightful opera that both were ap-
plauded ana honors were about equally
divided.
The house was crowded with the most
responsive audience that has been seen in
this city for long time. The complete
success OF the opera and its performance
no doubt added fuel to the ardor of O'Sul-
ivan's friends. At the end of the Sec
ond act people rose to their feet and made
the building ring with cries of "O'Sulli-
van" "Shamus O'Brien."
"Shamus O'Brien" is an opera that
keeps spectators on the continual qui vive.
The book. by George III. Jessop. tells the
story of Sheridan LIE Fanu's celebrated
poem in way that is full of movement
and color, the action fairly dashes along,
and it abounds with sentiment and fun
strengthened by powerful dramatic move
ments, as, for instance, when the banshee

Baldwin is going East. He was going

1t transpires that when the Ashley girls
arrived at the Baldwin as Mrs. and Miss
Lay of Chicago they had drawn up a doc
ument by which Baldwin was to agree to
pay $10,0 ,000 in satisfaction of all claims.
They came to make the bold and dramatic
play on the advice of Pasadena lawyer,
not counting on finding Baldwin out of
town. They intended to request him to
call on Mrs. Lay in her room and then

They would have failed in that, for

Round the thrilling plot of "Shamus
OBrien," Villiers Stanford has written
delightful score that abounds with melody
and is staged in thoioughly modern
and effective manner. The music is al
ways appropriate to the situation, and to
a certain extent the orchestra transcribes
the emotions that are passing on the
stage.
Choruses and solos alike are telling and
the melody is Irish in type. though the
composer has only used two traditional
folk songs, Father O'Flynn" and an old
marcn tune known as ''The Glory of the
West"
OSullivan was an ideal Shamus O'Brien.
His heroic appearance and sympathetic
acting, aided by the attraction OF bis fine
voice, made him everything that could be
desired for the dashing Irish hero.
In concert he is afflicted with vibrato
that borders on q tremolo, but in opera
this defect Is scarcely apparent, and 9TH
erwise his singing leaves nothing to be de-
sired. His two great songs brought him
thunders Of applause. ''T We Shrapened the
Sword" is q dashing martial air, and the
song by Stanford interpolated in the Sec
end act, was rendered with sympathetic
feeling.

that all the advantages arising under it

''At the present time the balance OF
trade between the United States and
