4 Great Matrimonial Event.
From the San Francisco Exaniner.y


The newspaper reporters of the line of
Alexander the Great, had there been any,
would have had the heaviest day WORK
of their lives in covering the interesting
events that marked the day Alexander was
married. On that day, authenticated ac-
counts tell us, no less than 20,202 men and
women were made husbands and wives
Alexander had conquered Darius of Persia,
and he felt that this great achievement
was important enough TO be signalized in a
conspicuous manner. Imagine the pride of
conqueror who decides that 1t can be
measured properly only by a wholesale Civ
ing and taking in marriage, the like of
which the world has never known.
Alexander himself married Statira, the
daughter of the conquered King and de-
creed that 100 of his chief officers should
be united to 100 ladies from the noblest
Persian and Medean families. In addition
10 this. he stipulated that 10000 of his
Greek soldiers should marry 10000 Asiatic
women.
When everything was settled a vast pa
vilion was erected, the pillars of which
were six feet high. One hundred gorgeous
chambers adjoined this for the 100 noble
bridegrpoms, while for the 10000 an outer
court was inclosed, outside of which tables
were spread for the multitude Each pair
had seats, and ranged themselves in semi
circles around the royal throne. OF course
the priests could not marry this vast num-
ber of couples in the ordinary way so
Alexander the Great devised very simple
ceremony. He gave his hand to Statira
and kissed her-an example that all the
bridegrooms followed.
This ended the ceremony. Then followed
the festival, which lasted FIVE days, and
the grandeur of which has never been
eQualed since.

THE BooKMAKER's CASE.
Argument on Motion to Take 1
From the Jury.

From the Jury.
was resumed this morning in Criminal
Court No. 9, Justice Bradlay presiding.
Joseph Auerbach, of New York, Joined
Messrs. Worthington, Frailey, and Barry
as counsel for the defence, and District
Attorney Davis appeared with Assistant
District Attorney Gould for the Govern
ment.
The prosecution offered no further evi-
dence today and upon the convening OF
the court announced the Governments S
case closed. A motion 10 take the case
from the jury was then made by MI
Auerbacb who argued the proposition at
length. He contended that the statute of
1893 prohibiting gambling -bookmaking-
in effect repealed the acts of 1888 and 1871.
In the latter acts, Mr.. Auerbach main
tanned. that the stopping of certain gamb-
ling games were aimed at, and extended
TO the whole territory of the District,
while the statute of 1893, which mentions
"bookmaking' as one of the gambling de-
vices TO be prohibited limits its jurisdic-
ton TO one mile beyond the limits of the
cities of Washington and Georgetown.
Further than this. he claimed that it is in
cumbent upon the Government to show
that the defendant did in fact set up a
gaming table or something like it, and act
ually kept it.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Auerbachs ar
gument Assistant District Attorney Gould
and District Attorney Davis, in the order
named, presented the Government side

4 Famous BIunderer,
(From the Boston Traveler.)


NJ. Caiino, the popular French simpleton,
who performs in the humorous literature
of France much the same function that the
traditional Paddy does in English litera-
ture, has been made the subject OF a grave
study, in which his innocent stupidities are
carefully analyZed. He is nothing more
or less than convenient personfication OF
a type of the harmless blunderer and COM
placent lackwit found in all ages and coun-
tries. In France his sayings reflect, how
ever. something of the picturesqueness
which is characteristic of the nation.
Calinos blunderings, it seems. began at
an early age. He had not craft enough to
tell lie that would hold water for a mo-
ment. One day at school he got into a
fight with a companion. and came home
with a cash ON his forehead.
How did you get that cut?" asked his
father.
why, that great cash on your fore
head"
Il bit myself there papa
Bit YOURSELF Why, you couldn't bite
yourself on your forehead
Il got up on a chair to do 1t, papa.
Later in life Calino delivered himself of
the following bit of wisdom:
LAS for me, l don't care so much for the
sun as / do for the moon. You see, the
sun only comes after ii gets daylight,
when we could see just as well without 1t.
but the moons some use-it shines al
night"
Early one morning, when Calino was out
with his gun, he saw robin in the garden
of his friend Camille. He aimed at ii, but
it dropped below the top of the wall Then
Calino went into the house, crept upstairs
softly, stole into Camille's bedroom with
out waking Camille, who was in bed point.
ed his gun out of the window at the
robin and fred-bang!
Camille leaped out of bed in wild con.
fusion and alarm.
! 'W-w-why-w-w the mat
! ter?"
"Oh. did / wake you up?" said CaIipo
Il pulled the trigger just as softly as
could"

CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef-
 fectual Cure for It.

{, Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in curable. The usua- symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; head aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and q general played out, languid feeling
 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the in terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inf1amed condi- ton.
 The cure of this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in treatment which causes the food to be readily. thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disaip peared.
 According td Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use af- ter each meal a tablet composed of Diatase Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, GCIGen Seal and fruit acids. These tc404CJS NftlL 4lOE pC LOIiI1O cAG C1lI LII us stores under the name of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy ap- petite and thorough digestion will fol- low their regular use after meals
 MT N. J. BOoher of 2710 Dearborn St., Chicago, III, writes: "Catarrh is a 1ecaI condition resulting from a neg Iected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane. of the nose becomes infiamed and the poisonous discharge therefrCGn rassing backward into the threat reaches the stomach. thus pro- ducing catarrh of the stomach. Med ical authorities prescribed for me fer three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but today I am the hap piest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 can not find appropriate words to express my good feelings. I l-have found flesh, apDetite and sound. rest from their use"

AN ARTIFICIAL SILK.

A new artificial silk, manufactured from gelatin an invention of Prof. T. J Hummel of Yorkshire college, Leeds, England, has just been submitted to the Swiss silk manufacturers for their judgment. A reservoir containing gel atin in liquid form is kept at such a temperature that the gelatin will not harden. The top of the reservoir con- tains many small holes, through which the gelatin passes in fine streams, and is received on an endless band of linen. The gelatin hardens and presents threads of uniform thickness and bril- liant surface, ready to be wound upon sPools. The whole apparatus is said to require but little attention, the only thing to be looked alter being the re- placing of full spools with empty ones. One workman can oversee ten of the machines, which will produce about 4T0.G00 yards of thread 9 day. an amount equal to the silk product Of 24, ,000 cOcoons. The threads are wound lightly on drums and submitted to the fumes of fOrmaldehyde in closed room for several hours, after which they resist water. Co1crGng matter, if required, is added to the liquid gelatin at the beginning A drawback to the usefulness of gelatin threads would be the low degree of firmness, but in com binatiOn with real silk or fine linen or o0t6cn thread a dura ble silk tissue, it is declared, could be produced. The estimated cost of this gelatin silk is about $1.15 8 pound. GOllodion silk costs at present from S2 25 to $285 a pound, while natural silk reaches S5.25. Chicago Record.
