Town Talk.

A special feature of the popular weekly
this week is a large half-tone cut Of the
field and staff officers of Company II,
League of the Cross Cadets, also a por-
trait of Colonel w, P. Sullivan Jr. of the
regiment There are other fine half-tones
in the issue-one of the talented lad, Mas
ter Arnold Grazer and another of Miss
Daisy Thorne. The reading matter is up
to the mark in interest. The Saunterer
talks about Partisan society girls VS.. the
local article, tells a story about Sam
Shortridge and D. M. Delmas and another
about a Los Angeles lawyer and a local
medico. There is charming sketch,
several clever bits of verse. The World

a story that has a Dickens-BalZac flavor
Millard Batchelder, Alfred Metzger and
Mary Francis chronicle musical events,
and there are two pages of dramatic
news. Juliet Crosby appears on the title
page.

HOBSON is OUTDONE,
Reverend Husband of an Evans
Vile (Wis.) Bride Given Re-
ceDtion in Chicago.

Chicago. H., April 22.-[Special. i
Rev. Wilbur w. Diehl, who was mar
ried at Evansville, Wis, last Tuesday to
Miss Isabelle West, was given a receD-
ton last evening at the Ashland AyeHue
NJ. E. church. He was greeted by girl
who with a determined look gave the
young pastor d biSsful smack. The
clergyman's bald spot flushed perceptlbly
and he gave a quick startled glance at
his bride out of the tail of his eye, but
recovered his courage in time to smack
back manfully. There was a murmur of
approval, and the next girl also took a
chance and won. That settled it, and for
ten or fifteen minutes the girls and ma
irons swarmed about the pastor III one
great kissing bee. One sharp-faced
girl, after it was all over, boldly
charged that some of the girls went
around i'll the line four or five times. but
this is believed to be a canard The
men watched the operations for awhile,
and then determined that what was
sauce for the goose was sauce for the
gander, and vice versa. and made Il
brave osculatory assault upon the bride.
But with all the kissing and laughing it
was not wholly an occasion of JOY 70 the
young women of the church. The crush
came so great that a. \. Aallais, who
acted as master of ceremonies, mounted
the platform and announced that there
had been enough kissing. and it was
time to have a little singing.

it he at once investigated the affair and
found that the couple had been married

at Proposed Street Rail-

Kenosha, Wis, April 22.-[Special. i
A great sensation was created here this
forenoon when it was rumored that the
Milwaukee, Racine & I\enosha company
would attempt to lay their tracks into
the city after midnight tonight. 1t is
said that the ties and rails are loaded on
flat cars in Milwaukee ready to be hauled
here tonight to have the work begun. 1t
caused considerable anxiety among the
city officials and every effort will be made
to stop the work of construction. The
old force of watchers, which has been
stationed at the terminus of the
line, has been returned to duty and
the force has been increased. The
company has made its entrance into
the city much easier by purchasing
considerable land along the route of its
line and the city officials say that they
have no power to do anything with the
company until they attempt to build on
the city streets. If such an attempt is
made, and the city officials seem to doubt
that it will be, the workmen Will be
given a warm reception. The entire fire
department will be called out at once
and the fight will commence. According
to the order of the mayor, the hose carts
of the city have been supplied with ex-
ira hose and it is the intention to fight
any advance of the company by turning
the city water upon the worlImen.
Everything is ready for action and if the
report that the company will attempt 30
build is true, hot time is promised in
