Welded A POOR WAITRESS.
Wen-kuown New Yorker Takes a
Bride From a Restaurant

! Well known New Yorker Takes a
Bride From Restaurant.
In restaurant on Twenty third
street New York, there worked until
recently pretty young woman whose
I name was Juliette Kathleen Maier
Juliette was the head waitress in the
establishment where she was employed
and looked captivating in her snowy
cap and dainty apron. Her beauty and
politeness attracted many customers
who, In time, became her admirers
Among the latter was William Cope
land Rhinelander, member OF one oil
New Hork's Oldest richest and most
distinguished families He is a grand
son OF the late William c. Rhinelander
and the oldest son of William Rhine
! lander the present head of the family
William is a social outcast and makes
his home away from New York, where
the other members OF his family re-
side, at the request of relatives. For
compliance in this respect he receives
an allowance OF 500 per week he
spends most OF his time IN a farm in
Saratoga, which he purchased some
Years ago and on which he breeds
hcrses
Ten days ago he paid visit to New
York and on the day OF his arrival
there ate his first meal in the resJau-
rant where Miss Maier was employed.
He was waited upon by genteel
young woman with an abundance of
black hair and glowing dark eyes. The
diner looked at the waitress, then
locked again. He spoke TO her, she
answered and her voice was pleasant
TO hear He returned To the restaur-
ant may times, always conuiying to
get the services of the young woman
with the hair and eyes and voice. She
Il at she was p years old and that she
lived with her widowed mother, an ell
der brother and a little sister at 232
East 1wenty-tirst street She may
have mentioned that her father. Rich
ard J Maier, was for many years
cutlery manufacturer In this city. but
left little property when he died She
might also have said that blue blood
ran in her veins, her great grandfather
on her mothers side having been
Baron Henry George Won Bigle of
Baden Baden a rich and powerful man
of his time.
In return for these condolences the
interested listener, Mr., Rhineiander,
may have mentioned that years ago he
had taken to wife a housemaid in his
fathers family and that a divorce fol-
lowed and possibly he narrated other
episodes in his somewhat unusual ca
reer. But whether or not he spoke OF
these things it is certain that he did
81 love and asked Juliette to become
his bride. The counting was all done
in he restaurant until Mr. Rhineland7
en- presented himself at the comfort
able little home in East Twenty first
street and led iuliette thence. He
conducted her to the Little Church
Around he Corner, where the girl be-
came Rhinelander. Nobody was
present save The witnesses, who were
obtained at the church. William Cope
land Rhinelander has been erratic.
His earlier years were full Of promise.
He was one of the brightest men in
his class in Columbia and was gradu
ated with honors twenty years ago.
He married that same year His bride
was Maggie McGlnnis, q houscmaid at
his home His family were grieyed
by this affair and the young man left
his home He and his young wife
moved to Brooklyn, where, in due
time two children were born to them.
Then troubles came upon the little
family William was arrested and i'm
prisoned for attempting to take the
life Of his fathers attorney. Some time
later he was arrested second time on
charge Of grand larceny, but was
liberated with a petty fine. Afterward
he was arrested to be tried as to his
sanity. but was declared sane and ac-
quilted. Since then he has lived alone,
never visiting his relatives and they
never visiting him.
