Little Pete'S" COurting
BY KENNETT F. HARRIS.

TOR nearly year Dan Murphy had
been trying to prevent his sister
Mary from marrying beneath her, and
had SO far succeeded, but Mrs. Ritchie
said it began to look as it he would
have to give in and make the best OF
il, or else be at outs with the girl for
the rest of his days.
Mrs. Richie came to this conclu-
sion when she saw Mary walking
down the street on Sunday morning
accompanied by the ineligible Peter
Rutter. known in the foundry as Lit
tie Pete"
Mary was looking tenderly down at
him and he was looking up at her as
tenderly. Moreover, there was tri-
umph in his walk and a carnation in
his buttonhole. There are circum-
stances under which a man may walk
on Arbor street with carnation in
his buttonhole and yet not be classed
with the dudes that perish.
Murphy was foreman of the foun-
dry. Little Pete" was not even a
molder, but dubbed around" carry
ing castings and flaskss baking cores,
stacking pig and shoveling the moist
black sand for his superiors-a mere
helper Not only that. but he was
weak-eyed, meek and somewhat
bandy-legged. Murphy could not for
the life of him see what there was
about the little rat to take the fancy
of a girl, but that is something that
has been puzzling brothers, fathers
and rivals 81 .e the world began.
Perhaps Mary fancied Little Pete"
because he was so distinctly different
from Brother Daniel Brother Daniel
was masterful and subject to fits of
hot anger that found solace in crock
cry smashing at home and lurid pro-
family in the foundry. Mary had been
dominated by him all her life, and al
though she had never been anything
but outwardly submissive there were
times when rebellion was strong in
her bosom. If Peter was handy
legged and small he was at least
amiabe. Mary was large girl with
washed-out eyes. complexion and hair,
slow of speech and deliberate OF move
ment.
1t was at q picnic at Sharp3hooters'
park that Little Pete first met Mary.
All the boys from the foundry were
there, and Dan introduced the help
err to his sister with a good-natured
condescension of manner that Peter
took as perfectly natural and proper.
Mary smiled kindly and blushed lit
tie when Peter took heart of grace to
propose walking over to where the
loot races were to take place. She
went, however. and as Brother Dan
went away with Myra Hanson IL came
to pass that Peter was with her most
of the day. Myra being the kind of
girl that demanded man's entire at
tention, Dan did not notice the unmis-
takeable way Peter was buying rcd
pop and ice cream for his sister. but
Fritz Schuler did and SO did Charley
Stokes and Nels Engstron,. and they
all mentioned it the next day as they
sat in the narrow strip of shade

ed the Atlantic Two Hum
dred Times.

When the steamship Phoenicia, of the
Neutrality-suspicious. line, arrived at her
pier in Hoboken yesterday afternoon,
Captain Herman %Liethauser completed his
one hundredth voyage, which means that
he has made one hundred trips each way
across the Atlantic. The Captain is very
happy over the fact, and he. celebrated
the event with the officers of the ship.
He is but forty-nine years old and hopes
to live to complete his two hundredth
voyage.
Captain Liethauser is one of the nust
popular men in the employ of the COM
pany. He is a very careful man, n in
all his experience has never met with 8
serious accident. He was born in Schles-
wig-Holstein. He first took to the sea
whes he was fourteen years old, ship
ping from Hamburg on a sailing vessel.
He returned to Hamburg after a very
long cruise just at the outbreak of the
Franco-Prussian war. He Immediately
offered his services to his country and
during the war was taken a prisoner from
a German bark, which was captured. AT
the conclusion of the war he entered the
German navy, and after serving one year
was promoted to reserve officer.
In 1872 Captain Liethauser entered the
employ of the Hamburg-American Com
pany. He was for a number of years
attached to the West Indian and Mexi-
can service. Later on he was put on the
transatlantic service. He has command
ed the steamships Saxonia, Bohemia and
Rugria. When the Phoenicia. which Is
one Of the coinpany's new ships, was put
in commission. Captain Lietbs .user was
selected from a long list of captains to
take charge of the vessel. This is con-
sidered one of the high commands of the
company's transatlantic service.

4 MENACE TO CITIZENS.
The Pacific Avenue Bridges Condi-
ton Invites Accidents.

Several prominent Lafayette citizens
are speaking of sending a petition to
Mayor Hoos, asking him to see that the
temporary flimsy bridge spanning the
canal at Pacific avenue is strengthened.
They claim thai the structure is wholly
unsafe, for the reason that the lives of
children are constantly in danger, be-
cause of the absence of rails on the
Sides. In several places the rails or
boards put there to serve as a safeguard
against accident and fastened with a few
nails, are very shaky and in danger of
falling any minute. AT the southern end
of this bridge there is no rail, and per-
sons, unless exceedingly careful, are very
apt to get an unwelcome bath in the
richly colored water of the canal. Chill
dren, the citizens say, are liable to meet
with serious injury while attempting to
cross the bridge when there is a crowd
thereon. a youngster is quite apt to be
forced against the side and precipitated
into the water. This, they claim, should
be guarded against by having sound, sub
stantial rails built to replace the old ones
which are of no earthly use.

ANTI-MEWANlTES ELECTED.
The Eleventh and Twelfth Ward
Clubs Choose Officers.

The McEWanites made no contest for
supremacy at the annual elections in the
Eleventh and Twelfth Ward Republican
Clubs, last night. The fact that the
Congressman had received a majority of
the votes of the Twelfth Ward Commit
teemen for chairman, at Friday nights
meeting of the Republican County Com
mittee, led many to believe that his
friends would insist on one of their num-
Der being chosen as president of the
club. in McEwan's home ward. 1t was
known, too, that quite a number of the
Eleventh ward representatives were in
sympathy with the Congressman, and it
was expected that there was a possible
ity of a contest there. But in both or
CARNATIONS the elections were practically
unanimous. John E. Macarthur, who was
chosen chairman of the Eleventh Ward
Club, and Charles E. Siebert, the new
presiding officer in the Twelfth Ward,
are both recognized as anti-McEwanites.
There was little business aside from the
election of officers transacted by either
organization.
The meeting of the Eleventh Ward
Club was held at Wilbur's Hall, No. 70
