few days ago while the groom was
In Paterson and the bride in Amster-

broker In Amsterdam. The latter de-
sired that his son should follow in his
business. but the young man refused.
declaring that he intended to travel.
Father and son quarreled. with the re-
suit that the latter left home. He was
then only IS years old. After two
years of rough life Gryn obtained
position with the Netherlands en-
bassy in London and while 4ere was
discovered by Neindert Van Huystel. a
merchant OF Amsterdam. who told his
father Of his whereabouts. He became
reconciled with his father and returned
to his home in Amsterdam. only to fall
deeply in love with Van Huystefs
daughter. His attachment was recip-
rocated. bu, the parents would not con-
sent TO an immediate marriage. as Miss
Van Huystel was scarcely II years old.
Gryn again became enraged and left
home. coming to this country and
embarking In business with Eugene
Murray In Paterson. He received
letter from Miss Van Euystel four
weeks ago. saying she had gained the
consent of both his and her parents
for their marriage and asked him to
name the day. Gryn had sworn when
be left home that he would never set
foot there again and he determined TO
live up to his resolve. Miss Van Huy-
stel. however. wrote that her parents
were too aged to cross the ocean and
had declared that the marriage must
occur at home. and he was In a dilem-
ma until lawyer friend suggested
marriage by proxy. Gryn empowered
William II. j. Ten Henzel Of Amster-
dam as his proxy. The Official seal OF
the consulate in New York city was
affixed by William VI. u. Grovenhorst.

forwarded 10 Amsterdam. Gryn re-
ceiyed a cablegram saying that Miss
Van Huystel had appeared with Ten
Henzei before Burgomaster Aeinerz
and had been married. The bride add
ed that she intended taking steamer
that day for this country. Gryn says
that when his bride arrives the re-
ligious wedding ceremony will be per-
formed In the Dutch Reformed church

Australia turned up and ventured as
a last resource into their sphere OF Ia

self stranded until funds should arrive
from the antipodes. So. on the sug-
gestiop of an acquaintance, he applied
for job at the world famed firm of

and supplied with 500 envelopes and
some pages from directory he looked
around and asked for pen.

One OF the grea, troubles that rail-
road companies have had 10 contend
with In the past with both the old
style and the new VI. c. b. couplers
was the failing OF drawhends on the
tracks. resulting many times In dlsas-
trous wrecks, a year or two ago the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad adopted
a device to prevent Just such occur
rences. and has since attached II TO all
its passenger equipment. The device
Is quite simple, consisting merely OF
right-angled steel hook. which is
placed Immediately beneath the coup
Ter on the drnw-head, with horizontal
arm projecting slightly at an angle to
the direction OF the track. When the
draw-head falls the safety hooks not
only assist In iamming the draw-heads
together but absolutely prevent their
swaying from side TO side. and thus
becoming disengaged. The steel hook
is placed in such a position that It
cannot be jammed or broken on In the
coupling OF cars.
In actual practice this device has
proved exceedingly satisfactory and
has not failed in II single instance.
