A MATRIMONIAL
Six Weddings of Special In
terest in One Little Town.
MIX-UP
From the Baltimore sun.

FROM the Baltimore sun.
News of a most extraordina
ry matrimonial mix up, invol
wing six couples, comes from
the little town of RoIey, in
Adair county, KY, The six
weddings all occurred on the
same day-three in the morn
ing and three in the afternoon.
In the morning o. S. Dunbar
and Nora Tucker, Robert
Hood and Minnie McWhorter,
w. R. Hopkins and Ada Nc
Whorter, were married. In
this trio the McWorters were
sisters and Miss Tucker was
their aunt. After the triple
ceremony, the three couples
went to the home of Uncle
Bob Tucker, father and grand
father of the brides; to be en-
tertained. In the afternoon
there were three other wed
dings within an hour of each
other at the homes of the re
spective brides. There were
a number of singular features
connected with all six of the
weddings Every couple is
now closely related to Uncle
Bob Tucker. one of the lead
ing men of this county. Out
of the six couples, before the
wedding, he had i daughter
and a son, three granddaugh
tiers, a niece and a nephew.
There were in the group a
brother and sisters, two sisters
two brothers, three cousins, two
uncles, an aunt, four nieces
and two nephews, and yet no
one of the twelve candidates
married any one related tohin
or herself. Another singular
feature is that out of the
twelve individuals, before the
weddings, there were two by
the name of Hopkins, two Dun
bars. two Chelfs, two fuckers.
two McWhorters, one Pendle
ton and one Hood. After the
ceremonies had been pronoun
ced, the result was that the
Dunbars and Hopkins had
each increased two, the Pen
dletons, Chefs and McWhor
tiers had been exterminated;
the Hoods had gained one and
the fuckers had been fortu
nate enough to hold their
ground.

WHEN CHANG DIES.
Story of the Keeper of the
Canaries cfthe Great
Viceroy.
Seattle Intelligencer.

there are a number OF inter
esting figures in the train of
the great scholar of CHINA
title that he prefers-and all of
those who inspire interest are
not the gentlemen of the vice
roy's immediate suite. One,
at least, of the humblest, if not
the most mental of the servants
of the peregrinating household,
is Lee Boah, who, in his capa
city of keeper of the parrots
and canary birds, gives no tok
en- of the past greatness that
was his. The story of Lee
Boah is, in effect, as follows:
At the battle of the Yalu,
September II, 1894, the cap
tain of the Chin Put, a charter
ed vessel of the Armstrong
line, acting as a transport, in
attempting to escape, ran his
ship ashore, where it was after
ward destroyed by the Jap
anese. The disastrous ending
of the greatest modern naval
battle and the apparent cowar
dice displayed SO preyed upon
Admiral Ting's mind that he
committed suicide. The cap
tain of the Chin Put was cap
tured and ordered beheaded.
Ii Hung Chang, who himself
at the time was not in good
odor with his majesty the EN-
peror OF China, but who WELD
ed sufficient influence to save
an occasional head, despite the
loss of his yellow jacket and
his three-eyed peacock feather,
stepped in and interceded in
behalf of his friend, Captain
Lee Boah, and a reprieve was
issued to the captain for the
period of the viceroy's life.
Naturally, therefore, he guards
the lie of his excellency as his
own, for so, in a sense, it is.
No more faithful henchman
would be possible, and he tip
toes around in the most abjeot
humility, sleeping at the vice.
rows door, or even under his
bed, but always on guard.
When Ii Hung Chang dies,
off goes Captain Lee Boah' S
head, and he knows it, although
he hopes that the greater pow
err his excellency now wields
may make his full pardon pos
sible.
There was a feeling of deli
cacy in asking him about a
matter so close to his head,
but he answered me readily
that he had been disgraced
three times-once in the Jap
anese-Formosa war, in 1874;
once in the Chinese-French
war, in 1884, and in the late
Japanese-Chinese war, as
above related. q have been

1t is told of King Solomon, says the ST.
Louis lobe-Democrat that one day he
was stroling outside the palace, when he
heard butterfly say to his wife: with
one stroke of my wing l could knock
down this entire palace" without wait
ing to hear more, King Solomon returned
to the palace and, summoning his coun-
cillors and his officers of state he ordered
the arrest of the butterfly at once. Pale
and trembling the butterfly was brought
before the king. The king charged him
with the reasonable remark. The butter
fly pleaded guilty. But, o great king"
went on the butterfly, you are a married
man yourself, can you mot guess why
said 1t? My wife was unusually insubordi-
nate this morning, and 1t was necessary
in order to maintain any sort of discipline,
that l prove to her how great was my
power. That is why / said it, great king I;
not from reasonable motives, but in or
der to maintain my martial authority"
The story goes that the king dismissed the
butterfly without even so much as a re-
proof. The story also goes that when the
butterfly returned to his wife, and she
asked, well, and what did the king
want?" he replied, ITO beg me not to
do it."

perstition, but many and many a happy
wife has looked at the emerald or the
opal in her engagement ring and laughed
at the tradition that warned her against
it,
Some people prefer not to have engage

out new fancies to please themselves. One
lover recently gave his fiance ring which
had been for more than a thousand years
on the finger of a Hindoo idol
A pretty fancy Is TO have the initials
of the giver or some affectionate word
spelled out with Jewels on the engaged
ring; that is to say the first letter OF the
name of each gem is taken to spell 1t. The
Princess of Wales engagement ring was
a case in point. and spelt the pet name
by which the prince is always known in
his own family. The stones were heryl,

BERTHE.
A less expensive device is TO have the
date of the year in gold numbers on the
ring. This Is always pretty and serves as
