NEW RULEoF MARRYING PARsoN
Couples Who Visit Milwaukee as Ex-
cursionists Need Not Apply.

Couples Who Visit Milwaukee as Ex-
cursiOnists Need Not Apply.
Following his recent pronunciamento
to the effect that he will refuse to marry
couples who present themselves before
him dressed in boomers and bicycle
costumes, Rev. W. A. Hunsberger, the
marrying parson of Milwaukee, issued
another ukase for the benefit ofChicago
lovers.
His latest announcement is to the eff
feet that he will not hereafter marry
any persons whom he knows to have
come to Milwaukee with an excursion
party. This will cut him off entirely
from the Sunday Chicago marriage
trade, of which he has enjoyed a virtual
monopoly.
Rev. Mr.. Hunsberger says he is in
duced to take this step because of the
sensational reports which have been
published in regard to his Sunday mar
riages, and not because he has suddenly
come to the conclusion there is any
harm in Sunday marriages, He says the
cutting off of the Sunday trade will not
in any way affect him financially, as he
has always heretofore devoted the Sun
day proceeds to charity. Charity will
be so much out and the Chicago excur-
sionists with MATRIMONIAL intentions will
have to seek some other minister or a
justice of the peace to do their knot
tying.
Rev. Mr.. Hunsberger reports that Chi
cago trade is far below what it was at
this time last year.

BRIDAL TOUR ON BIKES.
Newly-Wedded Couples Novel
Way of Enjoying Honeymoon.
The Nations Capital Furnishes the
Very Latest Departure I'm the
Way of Summer We'd
dinEs.

1t was thought the limit had been
reached so far as the possibilities of BIZ
cycles are concerned, but it remained
for a Washington couple to suggest
new departure in weddings, with the
wheel as an accessory. There was a
society event at noon the other day in
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, where President Lincoln for
merly worshiped, and the sacred edi-
fee was packed to suffocation with the
friends of the contracting parties, both
of whom are very popular at the capital.
After the words of the clergyman
were uttered which made them man
and wife the young couple received the
congratulations of their friends at the
church, and, entering carriage, were
driven to their home, which is in the
fashionable part of the, city. Here the
bride and groom discarded their we'd
ding fnery, and, DOMINIC bicycle suits,
started for the Pennsylvania railroad
station astride their wheels. There was
no opportunity given for well-wishing
friends to throw rice and other bridal
Accomplishments, and the passengers at
the railroad station were not aware
that a bridal party was among them.
After seeing that their wheels were
safely deposited in the baggage car the
newly-married couple took seats that
had been reserved for them in one of
the passenger coaches and left Wash
ilgton on their bridal journey.
They did not remain aboard the train
very long, however, as arrangements
had been made to disembark a short
distance from the city, and the remain
der of the bridal tour will be made
awheel. It is proposed to avoid scorch-
ing and take matters leisurely, the itin-
erary including a ride of 25 miles daily
until the honeymoon is over. This orig
inal method of spending the honey
moon emanated with the bride. who
formerly resided in Chicago.

Mirror. for rheater Goer..

II. A. Smith, of Brooklyn, N. Y, pro
poses to supply every seat, except the
front row, in theaters, with tiny in
dividual mirrors. These will be affixed
by means Of light frame, the lower
end OF which will form telescope rod.
The glass could be drawn up, by means
of ring, and the occupant of the seat
behind be satisfied regarding her ap-
pearance after her hat is removed. The
mirror could then be pushed down into
q shallow box. There would be no need
of crowded dressing-rooms. The frame
to which the mirror is attached is so
shaped as to form a coat rack.

Elizabeth, pril 26-Miss Nettie
TrautInan, the young woman whose suffer
ingS year ago from prolonged attack of
hccoughs attracted considerable attention,
has again been attacked in a similar
manner, and has now been hiccoughing
for three weeks Her former attack
began in March, 1896; and continued fiji
teen weeks, She being relieved at last by
electrical treatment and a change OF air.
She never entirely recovered, however
Now she is so weak that she cannot be re
moved, and it is feared by her family and
friends that she win succumb TO her all
ment. She can take little food, and hardly
sleeps at all at night, when her paroX ysmS
are the worst.
Miss Tlautman is very respondent, and
refuses to take any more medicine or to
have any one outside OF her fanil Y, includ-
ing physicians, see her. When the young
woman was i'll before, her family re-
ceived letters from all over the United.
States, most of them containing alleged
cures for hiccoughs, and many coming
from "quacks "
All that time the best doctors in Eliza
beth AMI its vicinity treated the afflicted
young woman and prescribed for her; bHt
electricity was the last thing tried, .nd
proved to be the only remedy to give any
relief.
Miss Trautman does not want to I'M
ticrgo this treatment again, She is slowly
wasting away, and her paroX ySns are
very distressing to witness. She IS eight
cen years Old

ROBBERS VILLAINOUS WORK.
Man Thrown on a Railroad Track
and Left to Die.

Shenandoah, Pa, April 26-John Hall,
aged twenty-four years, a prominent and
respected young man of this city, while
on his way home Saturday night, pass
ing a lonely portion Of the town, met
three men, who demanded 10 cents. He
granted the request, and was about to
pass on, when he was struck from behind
and knocked senseless.
His assailantS took his gold watch and
rfled his pockets; then threw him down
twenty-foot embankment on the Lehigh
Valley Railroad and fled.
Some time after he regained conscious
ness and found himself gagged. He made
several attempts to rise, but was too weak.
Through superhuman efforts, he managed
to twist and turn until he rolled into the
gutter alongside the tracks and fell into
stupor, with his left leg on the rail. A
passing train cut the limb off.
Hic cries of pain attracted the attention
of pedestrians, who found him in a Cri teal
condition, and removed him to his home, a
short dis lance away.
The police have made nine arrests, and
it is believed at least two of the prisoners
are his assail ants
