COR MARRIED ON CREDIT.
Lack of Mcnry Was No impeachment To the
Student and His Bride.

The city registrars Office in the old
courthouse is the scene of one or two
marriages daily, and amusing incidents
frequently occur Perhaps the most Pc
culiar case that has come up recently,
an account of which was related to a
reporter few days ago, is that of a
| Harvard student who was la love and
without funds. The love CONQUERED his
pride. and he concluded 10 investigate
the matter with view Of getting mar
ried ON trust. he made his appearance
at the desk in the registrars office and
inquired if that was the place where he
could procure marriage certificate
and also get married. He was informed
that il was. and blank application was
handed 10 him. which he proe eeded TO
fill ont
After this proceeding was gone through
with he looked up, and, in Lesitating
manner, asked the clerk if hs could
have few moments private cCnversa-
ton with him. He was taken Into the
anteroom. and this is the tale he un-
folded: He said that he was deeply in
love with young lady. and that she
was also very much in love With him.
But her parents had serious objections
to the match and did all that was in
their power to break it off. They had
closed their doors on him; but, not with
this, he succeeded in arranging
meetings with his hearts choice, and
during one OF these he proposed mar
riage to her and was accepted, he argu-
ing that if they were joined in the holy
bonds of mairimony nothing, not even
her stern parents, could separate them.
They had arranged the details and con-
cluded that the only thing to be dcne
was to get married in secret and then
until he should graduate frtm
his college. She, of course, would 20
back to her home and live with her
parents as if nothing out of the general
run of events had happened.
But the young man, being without
funds, was in dilemma, and the WORT
Of it was he could not see his way clear
10 procure the necessary amount to pay
FOR the certificate and ceremony. His
come was i'll western state, and he re-
,eived an allowance from his father only
)nce in six months. 1t was not due for
nearly two months. He concluded that
lis only course was to try the method
referred to above. The clerk, being q |
lind hearted man, told the youth that
lie would perform the ceremony and |
rust him for the pay. provided the lady
n question was of age. The next day
he couple put in an appearance and
we're married. Upon the arrival of the

WATER SNAKE FIGHTS EEL.
Terrific Combat Which Finally Ended In

Terrific Combat Which Finally Ended In
the Eers Escape.
Did you ever know that there is a
deadly antipathy between common
water snake and an eel?" asked tho
fisherman. "Well, / never knew it unl
til an experience that had in witness
ing a fight between the two. Personally
have the greatest dread of cells. I'm
more afraid of them than l am of a
snake, and you can imagine my chagrin
when | happened to hook one on one Of
my fishing expeditions. Twas afraid to
touch it, and all could do was to let it
bangle in the air. / could not get it off
my hook, and / was meditating what to
do, when, altogether unnoticed, allow
ed the Shiny object to drop down into
the water.
"ln moment l saw big water
snake make dive for it, AT the first
lunge it caught the neck of the eel
squarely between its teeth, and / could
see it sink its ugly looking fangs into
the cells flesh. WAITED anxiously to see
the developments. With its grim hold
still on the cells neck the snake, quick
as it takes to tell it, wrapped its sinu-
Gus body around its antagonists neck in
an effort to squeeze it to death. The
body of the eel was too sleek, however
and the snakes coils, despite all it could
do. would slip down into the water.
Time and time again it tried to squeeze
the life out of its antagonist. never for
an instant releasing its hold on the cells
neck, but the body of the latter was too
sleek for it and every time it would slip
down. Finally the hook broke and the
eel made good its escape. '-Indianapo-

Talent at the Opera
House to
An Appreciative Audience,
The Play a Success Roth Socially and
FinanciaiIy-SuBdry Ite ms OF
Local Interest.

IL the plaudits of an enthusiastic aud
fence count for anything the production
OF "Imogene" by local talent at the
Opera House last evening was highly
successful, and il the degree of success ID
to be measured by the attendance 1t was
equally SO, for the Opera House was well
filled.
The play ia in four acts and tells Cf the
scheming OF a lawyer, whose plots to
gam love of vile of one whose friend he
claimed tn be did not stop at ANYTHING,
but who is finally foiled in his purpose
and meets his just reward The part of
the scheming attorney was taken by
John Foley and was an excellent piece of
acting, as was also the part Of John
Mansfield, by j. j. Sullivan, the husband
OF the woman whom Reed loved Miss
Touraugead, as Mrs. Mansfield, the
wronged wife, had difficult part IL
take, but played it very WELL Miss helen
Zene. as Mother Mundy, the mother of
woman whom Reed had married earlier
in life and then attempted her life for he
money and who sought revenge and
found il later in foiling his plans, was
unusually good. NJ j. Harrington, who
took the part of DR.. Harris a friend OF the
family, and F. j. K.hlhaas, as Deacon
Harris, Mrs. Mans6eld's uncle, were both |
good, while NJ. Z. 0'Brien. as Dennis, and |
Miss Alice Cuddihy, as Susie, Dennis in
tended wife, created much amusement. |
b. j. Willesen, as Shocks, the newsboy, |
played his part TO p rectioD, while Mis-
Lahore, as ''Imogene," only appeared |
acted as a waiter.
The whole entertainment was thrilling
and was put on in much tetter form
than many travelling companies who
visit this section of the country. The
scene OF the duel and the scene in Reeds
law Office, where he sees the vision of his
supposed dead wife, were put on with ex-
ceIlent feet.
Between the acts Messrs. F. J. Kohl.
haas and Peter Sullivan rend red splec-
tions, which were heartily appreciated.
The latter was required to respond to
five encores.
Those who were IN att, lance last
evening have been so enthusiastic in
their praise of the production that num-
erou- requests have been made for re-
production.
The young people interested and who
gave so much OF their time TO the play
are TO be congratulated on the success
they made it. Mr.. Will Capped, who
acted as stage manager and had charge
OF the calcium lights, is to be credited for
his success in that line.

cry engraving must submit 70 his
searching scrutiny, and none is under
any circumstances allowed to be sent
to the electrotypers until he is satisfied
with the proof.
Inspection of engravings is a more
delicate matter than judging of manu-
scripts and pictures. Munsey wants to
be alone when he goes over the en-
cravings. To facilitate this part of the
work he is furnished with carefully
made proof impressions, each of which
he examines closely, sometimes with a
magnifying glass. Nearly all the illus
trations in his periodicals are printed
from half tone etchings," though al
most every one is improved by careful
hand engraving here and there. Nun
sey was about the first to introduce this
sort of work, and he believes himself
a perfect judge as to what tool work
any half tone etching needs. He there
fore carefully marks each proof with
blue pencil, indicating exactly where
and in what manner the engraver shall
apply his skill.

Mr.. Munsey rarely takes pencil or pen
