Cuba or any other place where volunteers

Il was unable TO tell Col. Appleton
whether the Seventh would be called.
That depends upon the orders of the War
Department detailing the kind of troops
and the number wanted as New York s

Of the regiment was eager TO volunteer" "

A WARTIME ROMANCE.
Grny-Haired Bride and Groom Had
Loved IN Youth

Brooklyn, n. Y, May 2S.-They met
and loved the first year of the civil war
Not until yesterday were they married
That is, they were married to each other
yesterday. but in the years in between
each went through other matrimonial
experiences.
August Moliton is rich now and gray
haired. He is a manufacturer of sheet
iron and tinware, and lives at No. 1872
Ralph street, Brooklyn. When he first
met Barbara Deutenhoffer he had
nothing in the world but his brains and
a pair of strong arms, and lived with
his parents at Whitestone, L. T. Her
home was in Franklin street, this city.
She was too young to be a bride, her
parents declared. and the sweethearts
were parted.
He served CALAMITY, and when peace
was declared settled in another part of
the country. Never expecting TO set
eyes upon him a~nin. Barbara accepted
a suitor whom her parents favored
was married. IL Ii.1 course Of years she
became a widow, and then married
again. The name of her second hus-
band was William Stahl He died about
two years ago.
Motion, on the other hand, allowed
nine years to pass before paying court
to another woman. Then he married
the widow, Ruth Stanner, of Strouds-
burg, Pa, and they established them
selves in Brooklyn. Moliton had no idea
how near he was to his old sweetheart.
and when he and his wife became
friends of Miss Van Hatton, of No. 1904
Greene avenue, he had no reason to sup
pect that her aunt, the Mrs. Stahl of
whom she often spoke, was the Barbara
he had loved so long ago.
Last New Years Eve Mr.. and Mrs
Motion We're guests at a party given
by Miss Van Hatton, who had held it
out as an inducement that her aunt
would be there. And thus 1t was they
met again. Their recognition and greet
ing after so many years was the most
! agreeable feature of the festivities.
Each observed the others gray hair
and studied the lines wherewith time
had pencilled the others face. They
told in detail what had happened to
them in the int. rvening Years. and Mrs.
Molton was not the least interested of
the listeners as "reminiscences were ex-
changed.
The manufacturers wife fell III a few
weeks later, and on March 80 she died.
Soon afterwards Moliton began to call
with frequency upon the Widow Stahl
She was engaged to be married a third
time, this time to business man in
Myrtle avenue. But the influence of her
girlhood's sweetheart reasserted itself,
and she dismissed her cavalier in his
favor. They agreed that they were
made for each other and that it was
worth while to have waited thirty-five
years for SO much happiness.
And so they Were married last night
| at the Church of Our Lady of Good
Counsel, Putnam and Patchen avenues,
and IN spite of the silver in their hair
the sexton said he had never seen a
happier looking bride and groom.

SEVENTH EAGER TO ENLIST.
New EOrk's Crack Regiment Now
Anxious to Redeem ItseIEs

Anxious to Redeem ITSELF
Albany. n. Y, May 2S.-The dandy Sew
enth Regiment has dropped its regimental
pride and is now willing TO volunteer for
the United States service upon condi-
tions similar TO those imposed by United
States regulations upon other militia or
ganizations.
The Seventh has foresworn its determi-
nation not TO volunteer unless its regi-
mental integrity IS TO be preserved and the
commissions OF its present officers are
guaranteed them. The men of the Sew
enth viii volunteer without guarantees.
They viii have TO submit, IL called out,
10 the physical examinations and other
regulations imposed on other volunteers.
Colonel Daniel Appleton and Captain
Underwood have brought the news TO
Governor Black and Adjutant General
Tillinghast that the Seventh had receded
from its position taken under the first
call for volunteers. when the regiment
unanimously refused 10 volunteer.
Colonel Appleton spent several hours
with the governor and the adjutant gen
eral, explaining the position Of the Sew
enth and the willingness now of the
men to volunteer as individuals. Colonel
Appleton refused TO tell anything of the
conference, but Adjutant General Tilling-
hast said:
"Col. Appleton came here as a good sol
der would to say that the Seventh Regi-
ment was ready to volunteer for national
service. The men of the regiment, he

The Sale of Money Belts,

From the New York Tribune
The unpretentious but useful-looking
money belts. which are to be seen displayed
in the windows of most stores that deal in
leather goods, have had their sale increased
in the last few months, chiefly, the dealers
believe, by reason of the war 1t is true
that the summer is always the best season
for such things, because of the great
amount of vacation travel. but this year
the number made and disposed of has been
larger than usual. One Philadelphia firm,
which has agents in this city, has filled
several government orders for money belts
to be used by officers of the army. These
belts were of the same pattern that is COM
monty seen-fiat pockets about two feet
long and three and a half or four inches
wide, divided into several compartments
for the different sizes of money. The flaps
of these compartments button down secure
ly over them, and when the belt is fastened
around the waist by means of stout tapes
attached to the ends of it for that purpose
there is no possibility of having its con-
tents drop out. The belts are all of about
the same pattern, varying only in the ar
rangement and sizes of the compartments.
They came in several kinds of leather
chamois, calf, soft-tinished seal and buck
skin. This last, strong and attractive-look-
ing, with its soft gray tone. is the most
popular.

Off With High HATS

AT theater over in Brooklyn they have
solved the high hat problem in the very
incest, and yet the simplest way conceiy-
able. The scheme is worthy of adoption
throughout the country-that is, OF course
to say outside of Washington, for it is a
fact worthy of repetition that the ladies
of Washington were the very first In the
country to abandon the fragrant and bar
barous outrage upon their fellow men and
women consisting In the wearing of high
mats at theatrical representa- tons. AT the
brooklyn theater the uSherS are unifo- med
IN neat, II somewhat spectacular, dress
of blue cloth, brass buttons and gilt cord.
You have simply to look at them to know
that they are ushers-and this in itself by
the way, in an age of evening suits for all
hands, is a fact worth noting. Well these
uShers all march down their respective
aisIes of the theater when the orchestras s
overture has ceased. and stand for a mo
ment facing the audience, in Dostures that
excite interest and attention. Then, when
the footlights flare UP, Genotirg that the
performance is about to begin, and the
the ushers exchange glances. Then in uni
ly together, after considerable practice
the ushers say:
Ladies in the audience who are wearing
large hats will please now remove them"
Then the ushers walk back to the rear of
the theater, and the hands of women who
never really intended to remove their large
hats at all are seen tugginy away at the
nat pins. 1t is a ryciUuSly effective
scheme.

Insight Into the Private Life of the
Emperor.
From London Society
The imperial family have been leading a
delightfully."- quiet, unconstrained life at
W.lhelmshohe, rare enough event, and just
what the kaiser and his wife enjoy. His
majesty has even been wearing civilians
dress, a thing he hardly ever does. He
wore alternately black serge suit and Il
knockabout pepper-and- jacket suit of
rough tweed, with q collar la Prince of
Wales and large navy plastron tie. The
kaiser sported plain straw hat with black
band generally, but occasionally chose a
small soft black cloth hat. and in this
everyday attire he was frequently passed
in Cassel unrecognized, TO his intense
amusement.
Almost at break of day the German ruler
and his family were up and about. The
kaiser only allowed himself twenty minutes
for his toilet, and punctually at all met
for morning coffee in the dining room. the
kaiserin pouring out for Ter husband and
sons like any other hausfrau. After break

a long walk till luncheon then his majesty

than hundred varieties of roses, past
meadows upon which graZed great fiocks

made ready for next years crops. Here
was a forest of eucalyptus trees planted
for their lumber. there an orange grove,
the trees still bearing their yellow fruit,
and further on vineyard of well-kept
vires. The most of the fields Were sur
rounded by well-made stone walls, and
every part of the estate seemed carefully
and economically managed. l noticed in
one place a Chicago windmill. and Senior
de TOrO told me he used American plows
and Othar American machinery. This estate
is to a large extent a dairy farm. 1t has
ahCut 1900 cattle and 800 mich cows. The
COWS, ! understand produce something like
$1,000 worth Of milk and 5000 worth of
butter year.
Upon the estate are 200 horses, although
all the farm work is done by oxen, which
are th4 only draught and farm animals of
Chile. These are chiefly for breeding and
the uses of the family and guests. 1t is
necessary to have very large number of
horses for family use, for often parties of
fifteen or twenty 60 horseback riding at the
same time and the Aguila estate is man
aged more for the comfort of the family
than for profit although in financial way
it is a very profitable farm.

but $1,000 are always left on the trees for
the use of herself and her guests. All of
the mutton eaten her estate is OF her
own raising and the 500 sheep she keeps
are chiefly for herself and friends. She
raises great quantities of onions, squashes
and other vegetables to give away and
sends them to the Santiago hospitals and
her friends by the cart load. ! saw
piles of such vegetables stacked up for this

The New Paris Telescope.

From Nature.
We gather from an article in La Nature
that NJ Gautier, the well-known op;ician.
is making good progress with the construc-
ton of the giant telescope intended for the
great exhibition at Paris in 1900. The
aperture will be l25 meters (49.2 inches),
and the focal lergth sixty meters Qa6 feet
10 inches) while the estimated cost IS
100000 francs. An equatorial mounting
and dome for such a gigantic instrument
may well oe considered impracticable, and
accordingly the telescope itself will lie rig
iGly fixed in a horizontal position on sup
ports of masonry, and will receive the light
OF the heavenly bodies after reflection from
a movable plane mirror two meters in di-
ameter. The plane mirror is thirteen inches
thick and weighs $500 kilogTammes and
It is curious that of twelve disks cast for
the purpose the first one turned out to be
the best. This has been in process of
grinding for seven months, and is not yet
finished.
There will be two objectives, one photo
graphic and one visual, which will he eas
lily interchangeable at will. 1t is expected
that a magnifying power of 5000 will be
usefully employed, and that occasionally a
power of 10000 may be used AS the high
est power available In the largest existing
telescope does not exceed 1000, the new in
strument. II II be the success that every
one will wish. should have a wide field OF
usefulness.
