A STRANGE WEDDING.
Bride and Groom Met at the Altar
and Separated After Ceremony.

Some days ago. says London paper,
Of the Roman Catholic churcssss In VII
>enna. The bride, 'fat, fair and forty,
drove UP alone in a hired carriage to
the church door. There the lady was
received by the bridegroom-a man on
the shady side of sixty, and wearing
shabby genteel and threadbare clothes.
Saying the words, II am the BRIDE
groom" he introduced himself to the
lady, and without word more the two
went to the altar and were married.
The lady, with the faintest bow pos
sible then left him and returned to her
hotel. Within half an hour the bride
was on her way to her home in Cau-
casus. while the old bridegroom found
his way back to his home, the Vienna
workhouse.
Soon IL was rumored that this strange
lady was the owner of large estates In
the Caucasus, and had taken this step
In order to give her son an honorable
and illustrious name. This was done
by her marriage with the shabby gen.
teel man out of the Vienna poorhouse;
the latter is the last scion Of q noble
family of long lineage In the Transyl-
vania district of Hungary. but he has
fallen upon evil times, and. having lost
all his property, is glad to end his days
in the workhouse of the Austrian cap
ital.
IT was a matter OF indifference to this
practical mother as to what manner of
man gave the protection of his name
to herself and son, and Ii is highly
probable that husband and wife will
never again meet; but she made ar
rangements for his future by assign
ing him yearly income to be paid by
a Vienna banker.

taken place in the Merino village, and
crowds fiocked TO the scene 10 learn the
details. The report intimated that the
Pole, whose name is given as Frank
Smith, had been killed by Superintend-
ent Charles Tucker OF the Joslin Hima-
laya company. the new operators OF the
Merino mill.
The police and newspaper representa-
tives were soon investigating the cir
cumstances. and found that the Pole
was still alive, while Tucker was suf-
fering from fracture OF the right
hand.
The story was to the effect that the
Pole had been visiting relatives in the
village and had become obnoxiously
drunk, and had dragged a boy about
the village by the heels. cutting and
oruising him and tearing his clothes.
The superintendent, hearing OF this.
ordered Smith to leave the place, which
ne refused to do. and then the two men
grappled and the Pole was knocked
down and out after fierce fight lasting
several moments. He would probably
have been punished more had not Dep
uty Sheriff Rabbit and ex-Policeman
Rabbit put in an appearance at about
that time and prevented further hos
tilities.
Smith was locked UP at the Sixth
station, while Tucker had his injuries
dressed by physician.

gether with officer Tanner. OF the Sixth

Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some cfficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections Of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
GUS Complexion Specialists, OF rs Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason SO many failed to make this
discovery before Is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions. ETC., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitaizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind. T.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,
during the present month, give to all call
