SCRAMBLE FOR BRIDAL FAvORS.
An Ancient and Curious German Wedding
Custom.

In the February Ladies Home Jour
nal MoX Won Binzer writes of his ex-
perience as "a Page at the Berlin
Court" upon the occasion of a double
royal wedding, and of the preceding
and succeeding festivities. Describing
an ancient and curious custom, he
writes: And now (after the wedding
dinner and ball) came the 'Fackeltanz
Several of the highest officials entered
the hall with flaming torches. \ pro-
cession was formed with the bride in
the midst. A number Of complicated
polonaise figures were then executed,
after which the line closed about the
bride and groom and marched out as es-
cort to the bridal chambers.
"As the doors OF the bridal apart
ments closed upon the happy pair we
found ourselves Immediately next the
entrance. We waited eXpectantly for
the next feature, holding our advan-
tageous position with some difficulty.
In few moments the door flew open
and half thousand silllen carriers with
the monograms embossed on the gold
buckles were thrown out by the ladies
of honor. Court etiquette was for the
once forgotten-generals, courtiers,
chamberlains and state ministers
scrambled and fought with one an
others for these mementos. But we
pages, rest assured, got the lions share.

although many were given away by me
that night to beseechiug dignitaries."

BOARDED CAT THIRTEEN YEARS.
Two Cents "A Week Charged and si.5S IL
Due ON the CONTRACT.

Thirteen years ago a well-tO-do fam
lily of Athens moved TO farm west Of
Union City, Mich. On leaving, the two
younger children dislilled to leave be-
hind "A family of kittens with which
they had become acquainted. and on
a subsequent visit 10 the old home sue
cceded in smuggling to the new home
their old friends.
The father discovered the cats after
awhile and began process of eXecu-
ton. The younger of the children did
not like the performance and picked
up the odd White" and went 10 the
neighbors, where he contracted board
for il at two cents per week.
The matter was forgotten until Just
recently, when the person who boarded
the cat contracted with the boy for
some pigs, and on delivery was pre-
scented with a statement of board for a
cat for IL years at two cents per week.
The pigs were allowed at ten dollars,
ard the boy still owes the man Si.57,
and the cat is still alive.

ATTRACTIONS OF COURTShlP.
A Man IL Never SO Interesting - when
He'a Counting.

There was a cynical fellow in tho
middle ages who, under the sarcastic
title, THE Fifteen joys of Marriage"
wrote an elaborate description of IS
woes, which were likely, one and all, to
distress the foolish man who had
slipped like fish into the great net
of matrimony, says Lippincotts. II
is not probable, however, that his lit
tie treatise turned a single man from
the error of his way. How should ii
have, when the great weight and au-
thority OF Mr.. Punch have not been
able in these days to make any APP
preciable difference in the issue of mar
rage licenses? Yet the genial philos-
opher's advice, which is an everlast-
ing shame to Mrs. Judy, was perfectly
decided. The truth is, men will not
take advice which they do not want,
no matter who offers 1t. They know
that all the world loves them when
they are lovers, and so the vain crea-
lures will go a-wooing. All the pretty
business of kneeling and signing is
becoming; when a man is counting he
is more interesting than he has ever
been or ever will be again. Whether
il be Jockey who dons his Sunday coat
to propitiate his goddess of the hay
field, or the fine gentleman who swears
at his valet for a speck of dust when
dressing for certain important inter
view, he is worthy Of notice; and even
the frog, when he will a-wooing go,
becomes a hero fit for poetry. The
uneasy period Of courtship tries the
souls of men and shows what stuff they
are made of, and therefore the manners
Of men of the fifteenth century when
marrying or trying to marry indicate
very fairly the refinement of sociey at
that time.

LARGEST CHURCH ORGAN.
Convict In Sing Sing Prison Now Engaged
in Its Construction.


A convict in Sing Sing is now engaged
in constructing the largest church or
gan of the reed type yet known. twill
contain 6S notes more than the largest
standard reed organ Of which there is
any record. This instrument, says the
New York Times, was designed ex-
pressly for one of the cha pels in the new
administration building, and its de
signer's plans and elaborate music
scheme have been examined and APP
proved by some of the best organ MAX
ers in the country.
The designer and builder of this or
gan is an intelligent young German,
who, after mastering his trade of organ
building, got into bad habits, commit
ted felony and Is now serving few
years term in state prison. Warden
Sage learned of the young convict's
capabilities through some drawings
which he made, and, finding him COM
petent and eager to ply his trade, the
warden fitted up small room for his
use, provided the necessary materials
and set him tow ork.
This employment caused a visible
change in the demeanor OF the man.
Naturally frank and free from vicious
ness, the moment he found he was trust
ed with the responsibilities of an i'm
portant piece of work the chronic sui
lenness of prison life left him. He is
now working zealously; his artisan
pride is aroused and he proposes max
ing two tirst-class organs-the larger
one for the Roman Catholic chapel, and
the smaller one for the Protestant

BALDWIN is "LUckY" ONCE AGAIN.
Victor in IA Suit brought by Lillian
Ashley.

San Francisco. Jan. 2O.-Judge Stack to-
day decided that Lillian Ashley was not
entitled to $4,000 damages from E. j.
cLucky) Baldwin for seduction. Miss
Ashley sued the millionaire, alleging he
was the father of her child. She said she
met him first in Boston and was induced
by him to come to California.
The case was a sensational one from the
start Baldwin In his demurrer to the
complaint set up the claim that II he had
been intimate with Miss Ashley he was
not liable for damages, because his repu-
tation was SO well known that no woman
would believe his protestations.
During the trial Miss Emma Ashley
Lilians sister, attempted to shoot Bald
win in court. Emma Ashley was acquit-
ted of the charge of attempted murder on
the ground of insanity. During the trial
of the damage suit Baldwin introduced
testimony showing that Miss Ashley had
been intimate with other men and was an
adventures.
Judge Stack in his decision says that
the unfortunate woman has no claims in
law no matter how sad her story as she
was shown to have been somewhat of an
adventures, although not the creature
that Baldwin's attorney made her out to
be.

ELOPEMENT FEVER AT MlSSOULA.
Wife Of M. H. Stairs Departs-SOl-
dier's Better Half Gone.

Missoula, Mont, Jan. H.-Missoula Is
agog with two elopements during the
past three days.
The first one, which occurred last Mon
day, leaked out today. The woman. an
exceptional beauty, was the wife Of NJ
R. Stairs, who resided II miles up the
Blackfoot valley. Stairs conducts the
Clearwater stage line and the saloon
known as Stairs Place. Saturday Mrs
Stairs came to Missoula on the pretense
of consulting a physician, promising to
return Monday. This she failed to 90,
for prior to her arrival man whose
name can not be learned came from
Blackfoot valley and was seen in com
pany with Mrs. Stairs on Saturday night
and Sunday. Monday evening she took
the train for Spokane, accompanied by
the stranger. Mrs. Stairs not returning
home at the appointed time, her husband
came to Missoula for her, only to find
her gone. He has gone in pursuit with
the determination Of bringing her back.
She leaves two small children at home
less than years old. Who the strange
man is or why she left a comfortable
home Is unknown.
The other clipping party were residents
of Fort Mssoula. Yesterday John
| Mimms, private, was discharged. and
| packed his luggage for trip east. Early
this evening he came to town accompan-
| led by another soldiers wife, named
| Brown. When they left Fort MISSOURI
Brown had not returned from Indian

| was crossing the Missoula river bridge
| when the train was steaming out of Mis-
soula up Hellgate canyon. He called up
on the sheriff to apprehend the fleeing
couple, which was not done on accoun

WENT TO BED AND LET FATHER DIE.
Old Man Had Taken Poison, and the
Daughter Knew 1t.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. N.-Knowing that
her aged father had taken poison with
suicidal intent Nellie Curran, % years of
age went to bed without calling a
physician and arose this morning at the
usual hour to find the old man cold in
death. Thomas Curran was 81 years of
age and has for years been employed by
the railroad company. For the past few
months the old gentleman has been in
poor health and about three weeks ago
took large quantity of laudanum to end
his troubles. Physicians saved his life
on that occasion, but his desire to end
his life never left him.
Last night Curran came home at the
regular hour. He had secured a bottle
of chloroform during the day and after
taking it, bade his daughter good-by and
told her his troubles would soon end. His
lifeless body was found this morning and
removed to the morgue.
This is a peculiar case" said Coroner
Baldwin. This old mans daughter told
my deputy when he visited the house
she knew her father had taken poison, but
| did not call a physician because she
thought it too late and then her father
wanted to die anyhow"
The young woman will be given a
chance to tell her story to a coroners
| Jury.
