Chivalry used to be described as a
Southern virtue, and though we do not
wish to imply that the men of the North
are ~unchivalrous it is quite possible that
in the South women are still regarded
with a greater degree of former rever-

describes with enthusiasm the women OF
his State and shows why they cannot

FASHIONABLE WEDDING IN HoBoKEN
Miss Julia Lewis Becomes Mrs. John
Cumming.

Al fashionable wedding, which. was at
tended by many of New York's society
people, took place this morning at Trim
ity Church, Hoboken. The bride was
Miss Julia Lewis, daughter Of Colonel E.
P. C. Lewis, and the groom, Mr.. John
Cumming of Newark. The ceremony was
performed at 10 o'clock by the Rev. Mr..
Mitchell. pastor of the church, assisted by
Bishop Starkey and the Rev. DR.. Hough-
ton.
The bridal couple marched up the aisle
to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March. A special orchestra of forty
pieces rendered music. In the body of
the church were about one hundred
guests, immediate relatives of the couple
and members of society from New York,
jersey City and the Oranges. After the

Stevens castle on Castle Point, Hoboken.
MI. Cumming is a wealthy merchant in

ed tour in Europe and on their return will

mar. and Mice Eleetrecutsd.

The latest device for catching rats ana
mice and killing them is by the use of
electricity. The appearance Of the ma
chine is very simple. The platform Is Of
metal and connected with one pole Of the
battery, while the other pole is insulated
by a glass rest and resembles somewhat
the case for electric light bulbs. In the
centre is the wire of the other pole, made
into a hook bait. upon which the cheese
is placed. The trap is operative only
when the two poles are connected by
some other medium The current may
be turned on and yet never have any eff
feet unless both the metal platform and
the hook are simultaneously connected.
The plan is to bait thezhook and thus at
tract the rats and mice. which will have
to mount the platform to get the cheese,
AS soon as they touch 1t the connection
is made and they fall dead-electrocuted.

CANNlBAL ANIMALS.
Degenerate Feline Mothers Who Eat
Their Young.

Sup to a few years ago" said Director
Smith Of the Central park menagerie, lit
was impossible to raise a litter of feline
animals in captivity. Animals differ in
traits as much as human beings. They
degenerate as easily. A lioness that has
never eaten her cubs may do SO at any
time. When this has once happened, she
is ~incurable. OF course the male parent
is the worst offender in the matter Of can
nibalism. Usually he is separated in time
to prevent him from indulging his unnat-
ural appetite. Even then, though, the
young ions in captivity have a hard time.
ssThe mother gets excited about some
thing. She picks up q cub by the nape Of
the neck and walks around with it nery-
ously. Very likely she draws a little
blood. Then it's all up with the young
one. The taste of blood is too much even
for maternal instinct, and the cub is
crushed like q choice morsel.
ssUHtil I had q little house built inside
the a 9 and induced the lioness to get
used to going in and out of it we never
raised a litter Of her cubs here. In their
natural state the cat family always seeks

AND MAMA OBJECTED
So Amelia Schulard Ran Away
and Married William
Stowe.

The details of an elopement in which the
angry parents were outwitted, as usual,
leaked out last evening in Greenvilie. The
bride is Miss Amelia Schulard, twenty-one
years old, whose father is a wealthy prop
erty owner and who resides at the Boulevard
and Pearsall avenue. Mr.. William Stowe,
of West Bergen is the groom. The young
people slipped Off quietly Tuesday evening
and were married. The newsof their we'd
ding remained a secret until Thursday even
when the parents learning where their
daughter was living brought her home
where she will remain in the future, y her
mother says
The couple have known each other for
over two years, and the parents Of Miss
'Schulard were very much opposed to their
daughter keeping company with Stowe.
Everything in their power was done to break
off the relations between the couple, but
secret meetings were held. Afnelia's parents
did not think that she would run off and
marry Stowe. aud when Mr.. Schulard heard
of his daughters marriage he threatened to
blow the young mans head off. He was
very angry OVER tuo dudl, put buc SAAS
mother acted otherwise and succeeded in
getting her daughter back home again.
Mrs. Stowe could not be seen last evening,
but her mother said that she was sorry that
her daughter had married "that man. "We
will have to make the best of it, she said,
shut our daughter will remain home with
u.s.
Mrs. Schulard did not say whether OF not
her daughter would be kept from seeing her
husband. The affair seemed to be a blow to
her and she appeared to be very sad over it.
The news of the elopernent came as a sur
prise to the girls friends who did not think
she would do sssrch a foolish thing" as some
of them expressed it.
The reason the Schulards were opposed to
the match, was because they said the young
man was a spendthrift and that he never
could support their daughter property. Mr..
Sehulard is very mad over the way the af-
fair has turned out, and a warm exchange
of courtesies is expected opass between the
men when they meet.

MATCHING OSTRICH EGGS.


There is money in raising ostriches,
and this fact has been demonstrated by
the owners of an ostrich farm in Ari-
zona,' remarked Colonel w. 8. Hadley of
Phoenix, Ariz. sTher are now about 100
ostriches on this farm, and all the birds
are doing well. The farm was first START
ed as an experiment, but it has proved to
be a fairly good business venture. The
ostrich has many peculiar habits, and It
took some time for the managers of the
farm to learn how to handle these Sahara
desert birds. For instance, the female
makes a nest by scratching a hole in the
ground large enough to hold a bushel
basket. She lays twenty eggs before she
commences to sit. Each egg is left just
outside the nest until the twenty eggs
encircle the hole in the ground. Then the
female kicks all the eggs into the hole
with one foot. She sits at night, and the
male sits on the nest in the day time,
thus taking turn about until the young
ostriches are Matched.
GA young ostrich must be one year old
before it can be picked An ostrich has
scarcely any feathers on it's neck. and
breast. and, is therefore, an ungainly
looking bird. The long feathers, Known
in the trade as ostrich plumes, are plucked
from the wings. These plumes are
shipped to New York. and bring from 81
to 50 per pound. OF course, these plumes
are there cleaned and steamed, and when
fully prepared for the millinery market,
bring from 81 to 50 apiece. An old os-
trich is worth from SIS to $100, and a young
one is worth from $40 to $50, and they are
sold at those prices to menageries and
geological gardens throughout the eoun-
try. Another revenue comes to the farm
from the sale of ostrich egg Persons
buy them as curiosities, paying s. apiece
fer them. 1t has been found that the
ostrich thrives splendidly on the alfalfa
grass that grows wild in Arizona. Sonie-
times corn is fed to them. 1t is quite
amusing to see a long necked ostrich
swallow a whole ear of corn as easily as
a chicken swallows n grain of corn

OLDEST NAN IN EUROPE
He Lives IN ireland and Is
an Uncle Of Edwin Birch
Of Greenyille.

Mr.. Edwin Birch, "a prominent Green-
vile resident, who resides on the Boule-
ward and Stevens avenue. enjoys tho dis
tinction of having for his uncle one of
the most venerable of Queen Victoria's
subjects. He is also the oldest man in all
Europe and perhaps in the world. His
names is Robert Taylor and he was BORN
in 1854, in County Down, Ireland. Mr..
Taylor was the brother of Mrs. Bireh's
father. Mr.. Birch when abroad some time
ago, paid a visit to her uncle's home. He
says the old gentleman at that time was
enjoying the best of health. A mosr re-
markable history has this venerable man.
It is said that during the past thirty
years the passage of time has made little
impression Upon him. for the only change
p~erceptible was the turning Of the hair
which is now snow white. Though Mr..
Taylor is so old he is is still postmaster
of the city of Scarva, and he declined 10
be retired and ~pensioned. 1t is also said
that the words of Mr.. Taylor when he
was asked to retire and accept a pen
sion. were, II prefer to die i'll harness
as the record postmaster of the Victorian
era"
The Belfast Weekly Northern Whig,"
the paper from which these extracts ara
taken is the property of Mr.. Birch, .anl
HI says that the history of his uncle Is
well reviewed. The paper says that any
one in conversation with Mr.. Taylor
would think that he was of Irish descent.
One of the most remarkable incidents of
the history of Mr.. Taylor is his entering
into matrimony when he was one hundred
and eight years old. His bride was a
Ma TN,,,1o, of 1sr,J1x-l;eh Tho ru4ri1 Has
gone we'll with the couple. To the posi-
office a drapery and grocery and candy
store has been attached. They own a
large portion of the village in which they
reside. Mr.. Birch said that Queen Vic
toria hearing of Mr.. Taylor and learning
his great age. sent him her picture, re-
questing his in return. h picture was
accordingly sent.
Mr.. Taylor delights in telling the bat
ties which were fought when he was e
boy and his descriptions are excellent,
when his age is taken into consideration.
Mr.. Taylor is ~indisputably the oldest man
in Europe, hale and hearty and moving
about unsupported. Honest. straightfor-
warded, truthful, he has ever been and
he not only knows the Bible true" but
he knows the most of it by heart Cold
en- tiaras, brazen swords and shears, ar
rows and fine fints, and many remnants
of antiquity have been discovered in the
city of Scarva, but the grandest anti
guilty of them all is the well preserved
man. He now lives within a gunshot Of
where he was born, and during his time
he has seen the world make more prog
ress in science. literature and civilization
than any other man. A thing which
greatly astonishes him is to see people
scareering' over hills and down dales on
"two rubber Wheels" as he calls the BIZ
cycle.
Mr.. Edwin Birch is thinking seriously Of
going to ireland this summer to visit his
old uncle.

DEWEY IN THE ACADEMY.



AS Commodore George Dewey. U. S. NJ,
commanding the Asiatic squadron, has
come very prominently, and deservedly
so.s' into the public mind, II may be inter-
esting to know that he and Commodore
Henry l.. Howison, commandment Of the
Boston Navy Yard, were classmates.
The academy class to which they be-
longed entered iii 1854. and four years
later was graduated with fifteen menu
bers.
Commodore Howison yesterday inti-
mated that Dewey WAS a boy with a
rather quick temper, and he was always
clean and we'll set up. His temper led
him frequently into little arrangements,
but hi had a name for being ready all
ways to take his own part. He was
plueky.
When the class graduated Howison and
Dewey were on excellent terms, which it
seems cannot be said Of Dewey and 9th
ers.
There are left of this class in the navy
four on the active list, and two on the re-
tired list, in this order of rank:-Com-
modore John A. Howell, commanding the
North patrol of the coast defence fleet;
