WHY THE GROOM FAILED.
The Police Were Waiting for Baldwin
at the Festivities.

I.un Baldwin is a. colored man of some
prominence in the set in which he mingles.
Ella Williams is a fair maiden of the same
set and was engaged to marry Baldwin; but
the engagement had a most unromantlc
ending. The wedding was set for last
Thursday night, and the home of the
brides parents, corner of Eddy and Nor
wood streets, was illumined for the occa-
sion. The invitations had gone even TO the
edges of other sets, and all of the immedi-
ate friends of the contracting persons were
there. Elder Williams was ready to per-
form the ceremony. The feast was pre-
pared At the appointed hour the bride APP
peared dressed in a beautiful white gown
and the groom was momentarily expected.
The ice cream was getting cold and the
guests were in a chill of expectancy. But
the groom did not appear. couple OF po-
licemen came along and their measured
tread on the sidewalk was mistaken for the
footsteps of Lun Baldwin.
Then the groom was sent for. Scouting
parties were sent out in all directions and
to all the haunts that he frequented. 1t
was suggested that Lun Baldwin had for
gotten that this his bridal night, and
messenger was sent his home. After
hours waiting the bride had fainting
spell, and afterwards received the express
sions of sympathy from her friends. The
brides Mysteries were overcome and the
guests fell upon the wedding supper, but
still Baldwin did not come or send his re-
grets.
An aller investigation gave rise 10 d SuS-
picion that the bridegroom had been sud
denly called out of town to avoid meeting
the two blue-coated men who had passed
the house while the guests were waiting.
Anyhow, these same patrolmen were look
ing for Baldwin, and the chances are he
would have been Snatched from the bosom
of his friends had he made his appearance
in his dress suit and with the marriage
license. The wedding was probably doomed
to be a failure. and it was a less dismal
one for the company as ii turned out than
1t might have been had Baldwin appeared.
A few days ago a large quantity of oils
and greases were stolen from S. Il. Rauh
& Sons establishment, and three colored
men were suspected of having done the
work. They were Lun Baldwin. Grattin
Walker and Isaac Forsom. The last two
named were arrested, but Baldwin was not

Washing a Fine Art.

Love of pretty belongings Is natural to
every woman. From the classic robes Of
Aspasia to the rich dresses of Elizabeth,
thence to the wedding Cow of Puritan
Priscilla, we see the attractiyeness Of
dress. While any woman of taste can
supply herself with becoming gowns, it
is not every one who understands keep
Ing them in good order; this is especially
true of summar gowns, SO easy to soil,
and SO expensive to laundry: therefore
every. woman should learn the art of
washing her own muslins. To do the
work fill a tub two-thirds full of warm
water, dissolve u cake of Ivory soap
(Which will not fade the most drlicate
%colors), add it to the water. wash the
garments through it; rinse first in clear
water, then in blue water, wiring, din in
thin starch, shake and hang in the shade.
When dry, sprinkle, and iron on the
wrong side. A gown laundried in this
way will remain fresh and pretty all
summer. ELIZA II. PARKER.

Capt. Sam Brown, of Pittsburg, is en-
obscure millionaire, who employs some
four thousand miners, and is one of the
largest shippers OF coal in the country.
He spends his money on horses, and
was the wner of Troubadour, which
won the Suburban in 1887, and after
wards defeated Mr.. A. s. Cassatt's The
Bard.
The fayorlte amusement of Andrew
Carnegie. that very famous PittsbuHg
millionaire. is coaching. He has just
had built in England one of the most
luxurious vehicles that was ever driven.
w. K. Vanderbilt and George Gould
are yachtsmen. Mr.. Vanderbilt is also
fond OF hunting and fishing.
George Nj. Pullman finds his greatest
pleasure in riding in one of his own
palace cars.
Robert Bonner and Frank Work are
two New York %millionaires who spend
their wealth on racing and trotting
