WEEDS POOR GIRL.
Louis Agassiz of Chicago Marries
Washerwoman's Daughter.

New Haven, Jan. 7.-When Mary
Lynch's pretty daughter sat in the
doorway of the maternal laundry and
listened with bushes to the stammered
compliments of Louis AgaSSiz Fisk, a
law student at Yale, there was laid the
foundation Of a romance differing from
the Borden story only in the more
speedy subsistence of paternal wrath.
Eugene D. Fisk of Chicago was dread
fully angry, to be sure, when his son
proclaimed that he was about to marry
the daughter of a widow who earned
her bread by taking IN washing. He
stormed and threatened violently
enough to live up to the traditions OF
such a part on the stage.
But Fisk's wealth had not made his
heart callous to the spectacle of disan-
terested love nor blinded him to the
charms of slender waist and pouting
lips, even if unaccompanied by a dowry.
The elder Fisk actually went to the
wedding. 1t was a quiet little affair.
Nellie Wrinn, who worked in the same
store with Mollie Lynch, was brides
maid. Alfred r. Wood of Hartford, a
Rev Father Coyle performed the cere-
mony. Nor was the attendance the
limit of the rich mans graciouSness. He
saw to it that the young couple were
provided with the SinewS of war for a
three months tour in the south.
And when you come back said this
fabulousIy kind papa, you must come
and stay with US for a while before you
start for Europe. The Neva will be at
your disposal, my dears, for the whole
summer"
The Neva is Eugene Fisk's steam
yacht, and he looks upon it as the apple
of his eye. There is not finer one
afioat on the sound. 1t is a floating
palace. The Chicago man has sum-
ner home at LetteS island, fifteen miles
east of New Haven.

silver certificates of the new uniform
design that Secretary Gage has arrang-
ed shall apply to each denomination of
bill, whether silver certificate. treasury
note or United States note, reached the
United States sub-treasury Yesterday.
They were very quickly distributed TO
individuals and banks The new notes,
on both face and back, show a great
deal of white paper. On the face, the
central design is an American eagle
with outstretched wings guarding the
flag, the background being view of
the capitol. Below are small portraits
of lincoln and Grant. Each note has
printed in blue upon its face a large
figure ''I'' and the treasury department
seal The other figures denoting the
denomination of the note are all large
and bold. Treasury notes and United
States notes are each to have their de-
nomination and seals printed in dis
tinctive color. Sub-treasury experts say
the new notes will be more difficult to
counterfeit than the last issue, which
was filed up with engraved work.

JUDGES IN SILK GOWNS.
New York Supreme Court Jurists In
troduce an Innovation.

New York. Jan. New York judges
donned elaborate black silk gowns to-
day. This innovation proved trying, for
some of them feared the flowing dra-

and ridiculous. The three newly elected
judges of the supreme court are Leven-
tritt, Fitzgerald and Andrews.
When the hands of the clock pointed
to 1890 many of the supreme court
judges hesitated about venturing into
the corridors in their gowns. Judge
followed. The effect of the robes on
most of the judges was excellent, lend
ing an air of distinction and pictures

clothes.

peared without a gown-Justice Nc
