last evening. at the home of the groom,
G4i West German street.
1t is customary in marriage licenses
to state whether the bride and groom
are white or black. In this case the
clerk of court who issued the license
wrote the word yellow after each
name. II is the first license Of the kind
issued in Baltimore.
As early as 3 o'clock in the afternoon
the boys of the neiEhborhood. white and
colored. assembled in groups in the Vi
cinity Of the Kee residence. and kept
sharp lookout for the arrival of the
bride. Many Of them had left in despair
of satisfying their curiosity. when about

i'm an appearance. She wore a travelling
suit of olive green. and was followed by
a diminutive colored boy. who carried

an entrance. he grabbed the bride say
ing, "Hully up. hully up and ushered
her and those in the party through the
door. The groom did this so quickly
that the advance of the wOuld-be invad-
ers of his home was unceremoniously cut
off.
The ceremony took place in the seciu-
sion of d two-story room. This apart
ment was illuminated brilliantly with
fantastic Chinese lanterns and was
crowded to an uncomfortable degree.
The groom wore a richly braided blue
Chinese blouse. with big brass buttons.
His embroidered Chinese sandals were ad-
mired by everyone. The bride was at

and white Chinese silk basque. richly en-
broidered. She did not have on the little
black silk cap which the average China
man insists shall be worn by his bride at
the wedding ceremony. She had. how

Chinese bracelets. All these were the
gifts of the groom.

The groom said Yes" with great en-

amusement of the witnesses Of the cere-

uneventful until the climax. when the
groom and bride embraced in the presence
of all. and then came an animated scene.
in which men and women. boys and girls
wished Mr.. and Mrs. Kee all sorts Of
prosperity. Two dusky musicians, Pro-
fessors Joseph Love and William Barnes
added to the spirit of the occasion by
playing a wedding march on a brace
of two loud fiddles.
While this occurred the groom passed
around shaking hands with his friends
and expressing himself as "welly happy

SUICIDE A MYSTERY.
1t Is Not Known why Matilda Rem
mic Wanted to Die.

New York. March Coroner Delap, OF Brook

quest in the case of Matilda Renie, the pretty
girl of eighteen, who was found dead on Saturday
in her room in the house of Mrs. James Kelly, at
No. &c Madison Street, where she was employed as
a servant. The jury found that the case was ono
of suicide, but did not learn what the motive for
the deed
Matilda's parents live at No. Bristol Street.
She had been but two days in Mrs. Kelys employ
when she took her life. On Friday night she went
10 her room in good humor, apparently. Saturday
morning she found lying the bed i'm her
night robe, dead. The room WIS full of gas. She
had taken unusual precautions 10 prevent the
cape OF gas into the hall. Pieces of cotton had
been showed into the keyhole. The windows and
transom had been SO draped with paper and cloth
that il was almost impossible for any OF the gas
to escape from the room. The girl had committed
suicide after carefully dressing her hair and plac
ing her clothing on chair beside the bed.

plan is said to be for the formation of

to take in five or six of the leading con-
Germs. which shall control the output and
prices not only of this country but con-
siderable territory besides.
All of the tobacco companies have been
heavy loses from the sharp competition
that has prevailed for several years. and

all that something can be done 10 end the

The President and the Papers.

CFrom the St. Louis Globe DCmOcratt
Washington. Feb. 26.-The lOng-stand-
ing occupation of one Of the White House
clerks is gone Back through several
administrations il has been the duty or
one man to read the newspapers for the
President. This man read and clipped
and pasted scrap books with such arti-
cles on the Administration as he thought
the President might want to see at some
future time. But besides this. ne read
with reference to what might be of imme-
diate concern to the President. When he
found anything he thought the President
would like to see at once, he clipped II ana
nasted il on a sheet with the date and
name of the paper. These sheets were
laid before the President as regularly as
the mail requiring his attention. Ihe
reader for the President had a place on
the White House staff as far back as
Grants time. If not earlier. lie went
through all of the principal papers OF the
country. 1t was in this way that Mrs.
Grant saw the beautiful tribute TO her
daughter at the time Of the SartoTis wed
ding. written by the late John r Ed
wards. of Missouri. which she acknowi-
edged gracefully as the expression that
had touched her most deeply. The reader
for the President has been abolished. Mr.
Porter is a newspaper man and believes
he has a better way to accomplish the
same purpose. Furthermore, the Presl-
dent has a select number Of newspapers
which he prefers TO go through hiHiseh.

HAVANA'S WEAKNESS.
Only Four Really Good Guns Pro-
na- tect the City. s-

Havana (via Key WesO. March T.
AS the conviction becomes settled that
the Court of Inquiry will decide that
there was a mine explosion under the
Maine. discussion among naval officers
and civilians here is prevalent as to the
warlike measures which it is belived the
United States Government will adopt
a majority believe that American
troops will be landed at some point
east Of Havana, and the insurgents COM
municated with; that the Spanish SOL
diers will be defeated or captured in de-
tail, and that in the meantime American
vessels will blockade If not lombard
Havana.
No one seems to doubt that the reduc-
ton of the city would be comparatively
easy Four 12-ihch guns-two west and
two east of the 'city-are the only ones
that are considered, dangerous. These
are not likely to be ewell served, while
their emplacemeats are not modern, as
they should be.
That some Spaniards are of opinion
that an attack OH Havana will be made
is believed 10 be shown by the abnormal
activity displayed on board the Viz
caya. Your correspondent has the
best naval authority for the statement
that the NiZcaya is in a constant state
of readiness for emergencies, and that
picket boats are on the alert day and
night inside the harbor, and outside the
harbor at night
Now that the Almirante Oquendo and
the Nizcaya are lying in the harbor
some Spaniards eXultantly declare that
the city is safe: and 1t is given out Of
iicially in the newspapers that the new
arrival is of the same size, armament
and complement as the ViZcaya. But 1t
is pointed out that the Nizcaya and the
Almirante Oquendo might be caught in
blockade and fall an easy prey to an
American feet.
The conduct of the Spanish divers who
have been Investigating the wreck of the
Maine has been u mystery. Thus far
they have not been down five hours in
the aggregate and show no disposition
TO make n thorough inquiry. II is i'm
possible to learn the truth fully regard
ing the purpose OF the Spanish court of
inquiry, but il is generally believed that
the divers were sent down for form $
sake only, and that n report will be
made in accordance with instructions
from Madrid.
1t may be that the Spanish divers
have discovered that the whole port side
of the Maine forward is gone. and hav
ing so reported, further examination Is
deemed unnecessary.
Senator Proctor Is likely to make
speech i'm the Senate on his return that
will have great weight in determining
the future policy OF the Government. He
is much affected by the suffering that
he found in Mdtanzas and highly indig

STABBED WITH a HATPIN.
A New York Policeman Receives ii
Severe PunCture.

New York. March policeman Bill
ing. of the Mercer Street station, has
been stabbed so many times by irate wo-
men with hatpins that he has long since
ceased to regard that sort of attack as
felonious assault and in his latest ad-
venture. though ne was painfully stabbed
in both hands. he preferred the simple
charge of drunk and disOrdeTly.'
At. the Mercer Street station they call
him "Hatpin" Billings. An intoxicated
female with hatpin IS thing Of terror
to the average policeman. but Billings
regards the feminine weapon with actual
dsrcspeCt though he is carrying scars
now which time will never etface.
He struck the old game again Saturday
night He found Mary Mullrooney, very
noisy and generally misConducting her
selfat Thompson and West Third Streets
He took her TO the station with some dtf-
ficulty. and after he got her 10 the desk
and while she was saying she was thlr-
ty-five years old and lived at No i59 West
Twenty-seventh Street, she suddenly
drew long pin from her hat and made
a lunge at the luckless Billings.
The policeman leaped backward and
caught the blow on his left hand. He
seized the woman and got another stab
from the pin on his right hand. The
weapon was taken from her and she was
put in a cell.
Yesterday morning when she was
brought into jefferson Market Court the

stabbing. said: You must prefer a

from San Jose Costa Rica, state that ru-

counter which has taken place at the
frontier in the neighborhood of Liberia,
between Nicaraguan and Costa Rican
troops. The result is unknown.
These advices were received by promi-
nent merchant here. having large interests

still they lack confirmation. The letter
adds that Rafael IglesIas. president OF
Costa Rica, has taken the field in person.
General Aurelio Estrada will probably be

1t is not regarded here as improbable that
the two nations have plunged into war al

declaration of war has not been decreed.
