excites more widespread interest
than did the one at Golf Chapel
on Wednesday evening when
Miss Nellie Steel was united in
marriage to Mr.. Frank Arm
strong. Both belong to excellent
families and have a wide circle
of relatives and friends. Miss
Steel is the daughter of Capt.
Sam'l r. Steel and is a truly,
beautiful and charming girl. Mr..
Armstrong is with the wholesale
firm of Shattuck & Jackson. of
this city, but Parkersburg, where
he is deservedly popular, and
formerly resided, still claims him
as citizen. The ceremony was
performed shortly after nine
o'clock, Rev. Mr.. Grimes reading
the service and pronouncing the
the benediction.
The church newly repainted
and frescoed was made very at
tractive by the tall palms and
beautiful flowers that were ar.
ranged about the altar. Mrs.
Chas. w. Lynch was organist and
the full choir led by that mimi
table vocalist. Mr.. A. K. Thorn,
acquitted themselves in manner
worthy of special mention.
The bride was given away by
her father. She wore a superb
bridal robe of white satin, Prin-

The three pretty bridesmaids
were Miss Armstrong, sister of

they were costumed in blue or

and long blue sashes.
The bride carried huge bou.
quet of roses and lilies of the

lovely red carnations.
Mr.. Noval Walker, of Balti-
more, was best man and Edwin
Wilson, of Parkersburg, Lloyd

ushers, all in full evening dress.
Immediately after the cere.
lnony a reception was given the
happy couple and their numer-

function. Music was furnished
by the Grafton orchestra and the
refreshments by Swager. Every.

flowers, while the large and well
furnished rooms opening one into
another, constituted a charming
sequence of cosy apartments
where beauty, pleasure and good
cheer blended into one bright
dream of contentment. The bride
and groom left for Cincinnati on
the midnight train.
The presents were many and
very beautiful.

NORDICA Az X. c. DEC. IA.
A Slight Cold Causes Ter to Change
Her Dates.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Mme. Nordica took
particular pleasure last night in contra>
dieting a widespread rumor to the effect
that she was seriously ill in he apart
ments at the Auditorium Annex, and that
a number of her engagements had been
Cancelled in consequence of her sickness
Her manager, Harry z. Sanford, ex>
planned the origin of the report by the
fact that a slight cold had made it ad-
visable to postpone Nine. Nordica's en-
gagement in Denver.
Nine. Nordica was to appear in cons
cert at Denver November 90 said Mr.
Sanford, and had arranged to sing in st.
Joseph, Mo, December 2. She contracted
a slight cold, and upon the advice of her
physician, DR.. Clapp of Evanston, a post
ponement of the Denver engagement to
December was requested of the mans
agement there. The request was grant
ed, and that is all there is to the story
that Nine. Nordica is seriously ILL She
could have filled the Denver engagement.
but it would have been inadvisaple under
the circumstances"
But for the postponement Nine. Nordica
would have departed for Denver last
Thursday after spending week in Chi
cago. Instead she leaves for st. Joseph,
Tuesday and goes from there to Den
yer to sing on the night of December g.
Her next two engagements will be at
Omaha December 10 and Kansas City De-
cember IA.

BLOND DIVINITY MAN.
Forty Admirers Followed a Buxom
Driver in Red and Gold and
Were RudeIv Shocked,

New York, Nov 30.-She was fat and
forty and fair, with golden hair, and
when she drove into Exchange place, Jer-
sey City, at $40 a. m. yesterday she was
followed by a great crowd of admirers.
Men who never intended to cross the
Hudson river made mad rush for the
ferry house in the hope of crossing on
the same boat with the buxom one. who
sat so radiant and so erect behind the
fine brown mare.
The blond one drove past the gatekeeper,
handed over the fare and whipped the
brown mare onto the Cortlandt street
ferry boat Chicago. The bald-heads fol-
lowed eagerly and watched with delight
as the fair driver alighted from the
buggy. There were at least forty ad>
mirers, and with some establishment they
followed the fair one into the mems
cabin.
The blond vision in the red waist walked
calmly into the cabin and, calling to a
bootblack, displayed a No. shoe with a
request for shine" Then the fair one
delved into pocket-a woman's pocket
and produced a big black cigar. Another
dive into another pocket and big match
box was produced.
There was a long 'r-i-p-p-p" as a match
was drawn steadily along the side of the
skirt, then a puff, puff. pun" and the
fair one enjoyed her smoke. The admir-
ers turned pale. The deckhands stood
bewildered.
When the Chicago bumped into the dock
at New York the vision in red mounted
the seat of the buggy and calmly drove
off.
The ferry people on the Jersey side said
that they recognized the blond driver as a
well known boss truckman of that city
who is known as a great joker.

ALL SUNDAY LAWS
DesIared to be Unconstitutional by an
Ohio Judge.

Columbus, O., Nov. 3O.-Another step to-
ward invalidating the law against Sunday
theatricals and other amusements on the
Sabbath day was taken here yesterday
afternoon. For some time there has been
an effort here by the advocates of the
Puritanic Sabbath to stop bowling on
Sunday. 1t eliminated a few days ago in
the arrest of Thomas Thompson, proprie-
tor of the Brunswick, a well known re-
sort in which one of the largest bowling
alleys in the city is located.
He was charged with violating a city
ordinance against public exhibitions on
Sunday, it being claimed that he "exhtb-
tied" a, game of ten pins.
The controversy was made a test case
for the purpose of establishing a prece-
dent. Judge Samuel J. Swartz of the po>
lice court decided that the ordinance was
unconstitutional. He based his decision
upon the sweeping ground that the meas
ure was contrary to the constitutional
severance of church and state, and rea>
soned that anything which is not a crime
on a week day is not a crime on Sunday.
The decision really depends for a prece>
dent upon the holding of Judge Ong Of
the Cuyahoga courts. who recently took
the ground in a prosecution against Sum-
day base ball that all laws prohibiting
amusements of moral character upon
the first day of the week were unconstitu-
toni Judge Ong's decision has been
taken to the supreme court, where it is
now pending.

CLOSED FRENCH MARKETS
Are in Prospect as a Result of the
Dingley Law.

New York. Nov 30.-The authorities
IN Washington according to the cores
pondent of the Herald, have been in
formed that France, while Ostensibly
engaged in negotiations with this gov
eminent for a reciprocity treaty is tax
ing steps to place a prohibitOry tariff
upon some American products. The
state department has been notified that
a bill is pending in the legislative as
sembly of France imposing a. high duty
upon certain products which will prac-
tically make that country a closed mar
kets so far as the United States is con-
cerned.
Ambassador Porter undoubtedly will
be directed to make an earnest protest
cause the authorities here to go slowly
IN negotiations for the reciprocity
agreement. The department has re-
eeiVed no reply to it's proposition that
IN exchange for a lower tariff on French
wines, the French government shall re-
move the prohibition against the i'm
pOrtatiOn of American cattle. Unless
TINS concession be granted and the bill
referred to shall be defeated, the reeip-
roclty negotiations may come to
naught. Should this happen, the French
government, may retaliate by imposing
the maximum tariff under its laws up
on American products which now enter
under the minimum tariff. AS these
products are few, however, the author
tiles are not greatly disturbed over the
outlook.
Dr. Won HolIeben, the new German
ambassador to the United States, Will
be formally presented to the president
tomorrow. 1t is said DR.. Won Holleben'S
instructions contemplate the submits
lead to a reciprocity arrangement. 1t
is believed the United States will re-
quire in return for any concession the
removal, or abatement, at least, of re-
Str1ctIOnS now imposed upon the i'm
portation into Germany of American
cattle and beef.

OUT AT DODGE CITY
Journalist Gait, Now Insane, Origi-
mated the White Horse and Red-H
Headed Girl Fable.

Pittsburg, Nov. 30.-William Hamilton
Gait journalist and geologist who con-
fessed on the witness stand that he origi-
mated the fable about a white horse being
visible simultaneously with the appear
ance of a red-headed girl was tried yes
terday in the criminal court. Two charges
of forgery were lodged against him and
one of false pretense. Gait was acquitted
on all counts, the jury finding him insane
although the prisoner denied that his mem
tai faculties were impaired.
When preparations We're being made for
the Pittsburg horse show Gait solicited
advertisements for a book he said he was
going to publish called 1.-The White
Horse" 1t never was published. Henry
Muth, superintendent of the Allegheny
bureau of police, charged him with forg>
ing names to contracts for his book and
T. A. MeNary. printer, accused him Of
false pretense.
Gait was permitted to tell his own
story in court. Gait said that he was an
Ohioan. In 1872 he went west and one
day found himself in Dodge City, Kan.
There the white horse story came to him
like The Raven came to Poe by inspir-
ation." He wrote it for the Dodge City
Times. Later he returned to Ohio and
made a geological survey of the state,
went to Washington, D. c., associated
himself with scientists and organized a
party to go to Alaska. This project was
abandoned because Gait became afflicted
with paralysis. He went to his mothers
home at Bond Hill near Cincinnati, and
some months ago came to Pittsburg. In
conclusion Gait said to Judge John D.
Shafer: II am the owner, sir, of the
famous Gait FOSSIL
