A oua,pt Scotch Wedding Custom.

A quaint wedding custom still pre-
walls in many of the little country
towns and mining villages in Scotland.
When a wedding is held, the contract
ing parties make their guest pay in full
for the eating. drinking and dancing
facilities which are usually provided
on such occasions. The practice still
seems to survive even in Glasgow.
This week correspondent observed
a notice posted up in the Cowcaddens
"a low-class Glasgow thoroughfare-
informing the public that a soldier
would shortly enter into the bonds Of
wedlock, and that I'd would be charged
for admission to the ceremony, and an
additional Cd imposed for attendance
at the wedding feast. The practice
seems to be peculiarly Scotch, but Cd
certainly seems moderate enough for
a marriage supper. London Westmin-
ster Gazette.

Reading in your issue of the 7th inst.

saw him hundreds of times in Albany,

it was about 1922 or '23. He always
went with his head bowed down, and
I do not remember ever seeing him
speak to any one He had two young
ladies with him, for whom he gained
quite fortune that one Of their rel

boy for whom he did the same as
he did for the ladies. The boy went
to the same school as I did. He told
me something about how they lived.
He said his sisters Gas he called them
used to skate on the ice, which was
doing when a boy. l also remember
well the Marquis de Lafayette; he came
to Albany three different times, and
saw him each time The last time he
took dinner in the Capitol hall. The
city marshal, who lived in and was
janitor of the capitol, let me have the

Good Sport.

The other day a Bangor man drove
out into the country to look for deer
He isn't professional killer, but he
hoped to find game near home. He
tied his horse to a tree in the woods
and, rifle in hand, sailed into the for
est, where he circled for about an hour
Then, after firing at what he thought
was a bull moose, he came up to find
that he had placed 45-calibre projec-
tile neatly in the bowels of his horse,
which died with it's harness on.-Ken-

BRIBERY CASE AGAIN
PRELIMINARY HEARING Is CALLED
IN JUSTICE SLATER'S COURT.
CHANGE OF VENUE TAKEN
And the Case will be Heard Before
Justice Pennefv ataer.-Progress
in the Case is
Slow

The preliminary hearing of A. Kosh,
who was arrested last Thursday for
attempting to bride District Attorney
Buckmaster to allow the slot machine
to run, was started in. Justice Skaters
court this morning. The lawyers for
the defense thoufht they had an easy
matter of it because the Indictment
was faulty and failed to. contain several
words necessary to make the charge
against the man legal. On this ac-
count at the request of the District At
torney the original case was dismissed
and Kosh was re-arrested on warrant
free from error. This at once caused a
storm of disapproval from the defend
ants attorneys and as soon as the case
was called they demanded change OF
venue on the ground that the Justice
was favorable to the other party. In
pursuance to this demand the case was
sent to Justice James Pennefeather and
considerable delay was occasioned IN
this manner. The interest in the case
has increased rather than diminished
and all kinds of stories are at1oat IN
regard to it and the defense has even
gone so far as to threaten to bring
charges against the officials who were
interested in the arrest of the gambler.
The court room was we'll filled and
both the gamblers and their bitter
enemies were well represented. The
officers Of the city were dumbfounded
at the action of many saloon keepers
who are aiding and abetting the ac-
cused slot machine man in his fight
against certain guilt. Not satisfied
with the action of the officers in closing
their eyes to their most fragrant and
open violation of the city and state
laws, some of them have gone so far as
to threaten these officers with political
retirement if they continue the fight
against the gamblers. One Of these
officials said this morning that if any
more similar threats were heard he
would himself start a crusade against
the saloon men and declare that the
law be observed even to the letter.
This would be hard hit to the saloon
men and it is thought that the action
of the official will have a decidedly
cooling effect on the action Of these
men.
This afternoon the case was contin-
ued before Justice sPennefeather and
the crowd that was at Justice Skaters
court moved across the street. The
Justice was i'll and it was apparent
that the case could not be tried today
and the attorneys took a continuance to
Jan. %. The matter of fixing the
bond came up and a great fight was
precipitated between the attorneys
The bond was finally fixed at $500.

HOW BISMARCK BECAME RICH.
German Writer Says the Chancellor
Speculated on State Secrets.

Speculated on State Secrets.
A pamphlet has recently appeared in
Germany entitled Bismarck and
Bleichroeder. It's author, says Lon
don Truth, is member of the old
Junker party of the name of Diebat
Daher, and it Processes to give some
curious details in regard to the pres
ent fortune of the ex-chancellor and
how it was acquired. After the Ger
man war of 1870 the prince received
from the country two estates of no
great value, which, coupled with his
own paternal estate, brought him IN a
fair revenue. He then left Bleichroed-
er to look after his private monetary
affairs, with the result that he now
has fortune amounting to 10000, 0CC
marks. This, the author estimates, can
only have been made by stock ex-
change speculatiOns, based on the
knowledge that the prince derived from
his position at the head of the Ger
man government, and which he con-
fided to Bleichroeder That, with the
care of empire on his shoulders, he left
his monetary affairs in the hands of
his banker is very possible, and equal
ly possible is it that his banker did
the best for his client. But [ should
require a good deal more evidence than
is afforded in this pamphlet to believe
that the prince speculated on state
secrets in partnership with Hebrew
financier or that his fortune is now
anything like 15O,000,000 marks.

CROAKERs TN SESSION.
independent Crackers Club Hold An In
teresting Meeting.

teresting Meeting.
The Independent Crackers club held
very interesting meeting about their
health this morning at which discus
sions which, should they bring about
results, would rival the Utopian dreams
of Moore or the fantastic visions OF
Edward Bellamey. The meeting was
presided over by President Torrey and
roll call showed those present to be
brothers Stahl, White, Charles, Sim
mons, Hawley, Wade, G. A. Dewey
and Barber. The first question to
bring about discussion was the pro-
posed scheme of the government to
loan money without interest. The
opinions expressed on this question
showed that the members of the club
were equally divided between silverites,
republicans and mugwumps. In regard
to the money question brother Charles
spoke declaring that the millennium
had come it the nation had shown
itself to be fool enough to loan money
without interest, but in closing he
stated that he would be willing to take
a reasonable amount for an indefinite
time. At this period the discussion
was laid aside in order to allow the
members to fill out the application
blanks for the loans. The club next
had review of the events of the past
decade and dwelt for long time on
the CoXey army movement, brother
White declaring that it was the main
movement of the century, and in this
opinion he was ably seconded by
brothers Hawley. Stahl and the pre-
siding officer The previous question
was brought up and the subject of the
number of widows pensioned by the
government was met with a grunt Of
disapproval by all the members except
| Hawley, who rose to state his views on
the subject of widows. Brother White
here opined that Hawley had no right
to speak on the subject as he had not
done his duty in the matter of the pro-
| duction Of widows. Brother HaWley
subsidized only to bob up again when
the question of the protective tariff
was brought up. During the whole
morning questions of state were dis
c1ssed and the opinions of the mem
| bers were noted. Local matters also
got their share in the discussions and
one of the mem bers told an interesting
story of how one officer of the city
stood on box and fired at a fleeing
criminal, while the man who was sup.
posed to be the target was resting il
the box beneath him. This was toe
much for the members of the club anC
after making the usual croak over the
loosehess of the city government they
lapsed into silence, an the members
one by one lighted their pipes anG
began their customary morning nap.
