Last Saturday morning we'll dress
ed and apparently wealthy young cou-
pie reached the city aboard the L. 81
P. They appeared to be slightly en-
barrassed at the attention they attrac-
ted from bystanders and as quickly as
possible entered d carriage and were
driven up town. They registered at
the Center Block hotel as w. G. Shane
and Miss Rosa de Lapp OF Dallas and
then went out for q stroll about, the
town. No one seeing.the couple on the
streets doubted for an instant, but that
they were either newly married or
about to be. They had eyes only for
one another and were apparently
oblivious to their surroundings. So
intensely were they occupied with one
auother's society that the hours sped
by in rapid succession and before they
realized it the sun was setting behind
mountains in sMexico. Then they re-
membered that they had failed to take
out their marriage license and that
night had overtaken them while they
were yet uuprepared to have the CO.
remouy performed. A hasty visit was
paid to the court house but Park Pit
man and his deputies had been gone
an hour and the Office door was locked:
In despair they turned away and
returned to their hotel Believing
that q license issued on the Sabbath
would be illegal Sunday passed with
them still unmarried. However, the
first thing Monday morning they put
in an appearance at the clerks office
, and took out license and were subse-
quently married by Justice Darwood.
Their happiness is now complete.
Admiral Dewey appears to bs a
''good thing" for relic hunters. He
generally responds to their requests
for mementos in the following charac-
teristic manner: T Handy Beam OF
New Brunswick, N. j., wrote to Ad-
miral Dewey at Manila some
weeks ago. requesting some memento
of the famous battle fought there on
May / preferably the shoes worn by
the admiral. Enclosed in the letter
was a coat of-arms of the United States
cleverly made of 1000 postage stamps
of the Colum bian issue. In reply Beam
has received the following letter from
Admiral Dewey:
Flagship Olympia, Manila, Philip
pine Islands, Sept. 20, 1898. T.
Handy Beam, New Brunswick, N. j.

and consequently have not the slight
est idea which pair 1 wore on May

that day. 1t is a rabbits foot l have
| had for some time, and which brought
me luck. May it bring you as much
Sincerely, George Dewey.
