The Sudden Termination of
 4 Birmingham Romance

Who says that woman hasn't more nerve than man? Listen to the following, every word of which happened in Birming- ham yesterday morning. 3tf
 There were four of them-two girls and two young men-sitting at table in one of the popular ice cream parlors of the city. They were talking. of course, of dances, buggy rides, ct cetera, and carrying on the usual run of social talk.
 q wish I could get my ticket extended,' said the girl with the rosy cheeks, who, by the way, is a stranger in the city" so that I might stay over to that dance"
 That's dead easy,' said the flip young man who had been escorting her on a morning promenade through the streets. Besides I'd been thinking of fixing it so you wouldn't have to leave Birmingham at all"
 You ain't game" said Rosy Cheeks.
 "Aint I?' said Flip Young Man. "Come on."
 She came and the two started up the street accompanied by the Birmingham girl Rosy Cheeks was visiting and the home products escort. This latter couple was extremely interested in the prospective romance. but they don't cut much ice in this story"
 Up First avenue and Twenty-irst street the party proceeded, on toward the probate judges office in the court house, to get the marriage license. The Flip Young Man thought sure the girl would weaken and re- fuse to go In the court house. But not ha ha ctO steps as bold as you please and practically led the way into the judges office. Flip Young Man was beginning to get nervous, but nevertheless he took his belt up an- other notch, put on a bold face, and asked for a marriage license. The clerk filled out the required blanks at once, and whirled the book around for the contracting parties to sign. And do you know said the Flip Young Man in describing the adven- ture afterward, "she slapped her fist down on the book without the least hesitation" He had to follow, and his writing was so shaky it might have been pronounced a forgery, if he he'd had a signature worth forging.
 Look here," said the prospective groom at this juncture, q find haven't got a bit of money with me, and I ought to have at least BIO to get married on." But this game didn't work for the Birmingham girls escort promptly ''coughed up' a five dollar bill he happened to have. The bride elect said she could match it, and handed her prospective spouse another liver with an air that she might as well begin before as after the ceremony.
 In the meantime the clerk had called Judge Stiles, and he came out to perform the ceremony. Here's where she gives in,'' he thought. But the sight of the judge never phased her. She had such an until death- -us-do-part expression on her rosy face that the Flip Young Man collapsed.
 "The drinks are on me- he said. And with that he mashed his marriage license up in a ball. threw it over in the corner and the laughing party, with the hacked young man in the center, adjourned to the fountain, where Rosy Cheeks drank soda water and ate ice cream to her heart $ content.

 '"The letter of November 30, 1897, attribu- ted to me and reproduced in the Figaro of August 16, 1899, is a forgery"
 (SigneD SCHNEIDER"
 The letter referred to was one from Schneider, the Austrian attache at Paris in which he was alleged to have said Sehwartzkoppen and Panzzardi respect lively the German and Italian attaches were trying to make out that it was not Dreyfus who was giving them information and adding that he had no belief in these protestations. M Cavaignac, the former minister of war, in his testimony, made a great point of this.
