BANDED NOT TO MARRY.
Club OF Twelve Boston Young Men
Who Decide to Encouraee
Bachel0rh0od.

With the greatest secrecy an anti
matrimonial club was recently formed
in Boston. with membership Of just
12. The secret was too much for one or
two of the young men, and now nearly
all about the unholy compact is known.
1t il proposed to dine annually as long
as the men hold together, and should
one OF them be married he must give a
farewell dinner costing not less than
ten dollars a plate, and as much more
than that as he cares. to afford, to { II
the other members. and must also pay
into the general treasury for the ac-
emulation of club fund the sum o.
$500 as slight "forfeit" for his treason
TO the cause in taking unto himself q
wife. Eventually, If all but one nem-
Der became married. the remaining
bachelor would pocket the contribu-
tons Of the others. amounting to $500
and interest accruing from time to
time, besides which he would mean-
while enjoy many excellent dinners.
The members of The Club Of Twelve.
a. 1t II called, were desirous OF keep
ing their plan secret, fearing that II it
became generally known society might
receive them less cordially than of
yore. Such Q result has not yet become
apparent Indeed. matchmaking
msmmas laugh at the whole affair,
limiting that these vows of celibacy
must represent some cases of disap-
pointed love.

GRIP CAR FENDER.
The New Device Picks Up Hams and
Other Things Which Fail
from Wagons.

The untold and hitherto unsupported
possibilities of the street car fender as
. collector of things various was limited
ct by an occurrence on Washington
street the other day, whereby the gen.
tie gipmau came out considerably
ahead OF the game. reports Chicago
paper. A market wagon laden TO the
guards with sides of beef and hams and
barrels of tenderloin and other things
edible and every way pleasant to look
upon even in their raw and unwashed
condition was occupying the track in
front Of Madison street cable train.
The gripman sounded the gong Justify
and the driver Of the meat wagon at
tempted to pull out Of the track to
make way. But the grip was too close
for comfort and it grazed the wagon,
jarring the load and spilling half q
dozen hams on the ground.
The driver pulled up his horse hastily
when he had cleared the track and
jumped of to gather the precious prod
uce from the street, but two Of tho
hams fell within the tracks and were
promptly scooped up by the fender.
The gripman threw his weight on the
lever and the train shot along toward
the west with the hams reposing safely
On the steel carrier, probably to en1dchl
the larder Of the gripman. Now, if
some one would drop an occasional
overcoat or a barrel Of -four now and
then in front Of a cable car the life Of
the gripman would be one long, purple
holiday

HOBSON-CRAZY.
Girls Lug on an Old Uniform ~ .
Souvenir Of Their Naval
Hero.

An ensign on the New York recently
had been acting as escort to several
young women who were curious to see
the ship, and as he passed the door of
the room that Hobson occupied Just
before he sank the Merrimac the en-
sign casually mentioned the fact. The
girls stopped at once and insisted upon
entering. They sat on Hobson's chairs
and bed, examined everything minute
ly. and asked q hundred questions.
And this is Hobson's, too, isn't it?"
eagerly asked one of them, looking at
wornout uniform hanging in the cor
ner. The ensign murmured something
which the girls took for "yes."
"Oh. If 1 daredl" exclaimed the girl.
hesitatingly. and then sud. with sud-
den decision: "Yes, l will; I'm going
to have q button"
"A buttonl" exclaimed the leader Of
the party with some scorn. why, Mr..
Hobson will never wear that uniform
again. It's too old. I believe I'll take
the whole coat"
The others were silenced by this
piece Of daring, and all looked quickly
toward the ensign. He merely smiled,
but his silence was sufficient consent,
and they took possession Of the coat.
IF you are going to take the jacket.
you had better take it ALL" suggested
the ensign. "Hobson would have no
use for the other part alone."' And so
they bundled it all up in piece of
brown paper and hurried off the ship.
as If they feared the ensign would
change his mind.
What are those girls Juggling off
with them?" asked the officer of the
deck as the girls went down the gang
plank carrying their package tenderly.
"Oh. that's souvenir" answered the
ensign. laughing. Its wornout uni
form of some petty officer, but they
think it's Hobson's. and insisted upon
taking it. and | wasn't hard-hearted
enough to disappoint them"

THEY CAN'T BE USED.
Captured Spanish Ordnance Of No
Practical Use to Us.
Oar Ammun ttfon VIII Not FIT Cuns,
which Also Are Not. Of the
Most MOdern Type
Of Weapon.

There has been some speculation a
to what disposition the navy depart
ment will make of the modern guns cap.
tured from Spain during the recent war.
It has been generally understood that
the obsolete ordnance would figure
only as souvenirs for distribution by
the government to states and manici-
palities, but there was quite . number
OF serviceable modern cannon, mostly
naval guns captured at Santiago, Ma.
nils and elsewhere. Il is stated by the
department that these guns are not
likely to form . very valuable asset.
The 4.7-inch guns from the Maria
Teresa, the Viscaya and the Colon, sev-
eral Of which are now ct the Washing
ton navy yard, are not the most mod
ern type Of this weapon. They are diff
ferent in caliber from any gun Of the
American navy, except those Of the
New Orleans and the Albany, now be-
ing completed abroad. The six-inch
quick-ire guns captured also require
special ammunition, not being adapted
to our six-inch shells, so that, except
in case of accident to one of the guns
Of the New Orleans or Albany, there
would be small likelihood of getting
any Of the captured ordnance into serv-
ice. The question of boring out the
captured guns to the next higher cal
iber was considered, but rejected as
reducing too greatly the factor Of
safety.
There is on hand quite a supply of
ammunition for the peculiar armament
of our two adopted cruisers, and IL is
thought by the time this is used up this
country will be in a position to supply
them with all of the sort of ammunition
they need.
It is interesting to note that the new
guns being planned for the navy will
conform in certain material respects
to those of the New Orleans, which was
classed by all the officers who saw her
in action during the war as marvel
lously quick-aring, hard-shooting piece
Of naval architecture. Her guns are all
$50 calibers long" that is, the barrel is
30 times the length of the diameter of
the bore. Our standard has been 10
calibers, but the longer gun seems to
bear about the same relation to the
shorter as the As caliber rife does to
the revolver of the same bore. II is
this popularity Of the barrel guns that
develops their remarkable muzzle We
locity of something like $500 feet. The
new guns planned for our navy are ex-
pected to develop about 1900 feet, We
locity. 1t is expected that this new
type of the six-inch quick-4irer, with
its additional penetrating power, will
make 1t an even more terrible weapon
than that demonstrated itself to be III.
our two memorable actions with the
Spanish fleets.

BOYCOTT OF ROYAL ORIGIN.
gium's Queen Against Lace
Made by Machinery.

The stamp of royal approval has
been placed upon the boycott, that en-
gine so often employed with effect in
bloodless warfare. Queen Marie Hem
riette of Belgium. seeing danger to
many thousa nds of her people in the
introduction of machines for making
lace, wrote to her sister queens
throughout Europe and received their
cooperation in a movement 70 boycott;
the product of such machines. Since
the advent of lacemaking machinery
the NUM- ber Of lacemakers in Belgium
and northern France has decreased
by about 100000. and many of these
workers have been unable to secure
employment. Queen Marie therefore
took the matter up and has met with
no inconsiderable degree of success.
Her majesty is one of the most accom-.
piished women in Europe. Queen
Marie Henriette is the daughter of the
Late Arhduke Joseph of Austria. She
Is the mother Of Princess Stephanie OF
Austria. The pope has recognized her
with the Golden Rose of Virtue, the
highest regard he could bes,tow upon
her. She is noted for her fondness for
horses. which she shows by giving
equestrian entertainments She is
also an enthusiastic musician and
plays the harp and piano like a pro-
fessional. Some Of her paintings are
worthy of the Paris salon. Two years
ago she is said to have attempted sui
oide because of the profigacy Of her
husband, King Leopold.

CANINE MAID OF HONOR.

trOduced some Startling
Novelties.

Here is a story of Baltimore mar
Tiage which simply overturned popu-
lar traditions and set all Baltimore in
conversation. The benedict. says the
Chicago Chronicle, was Francis 3.
Stevens, Jr.. of Hoboken. N. J., while
Miss Adele Horwitz played the Beatrice
Of the startling occasion.
There was neither maid of honor nor
bridesmaid, but the bride entered the
drawing-room accompanied by her pet
fox terrier, Jock, around whose collar
were entwined orange blossoms, from
which streamers of white ribbon flowed.
During the ceremony Jock, after view
ing the guests, sat upon the floor at the
feet of his mistress. Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin F. Horwitz gave their daugh-
ter diamond clasps for her slippers.
and her gown was SO arranged that
these CONNECTIONS Of white liberty vel
vet and their jeweled fastenings could
be seen by the guests.
After the wedding the friends Of Mrs.
Stevens paid her back in her own coin
for the many practical jokes which she
had been wont to play upon the so
ciety people of her native city. The
carriage which conveyed the bridal
party to the station was decorated
with various wedding articles and Gre
ated sensation as it drove through the
streets Of Baltimore. Long streamers
Of white ribbon were tied at every pos
ible point of vantage and placards an
nouncing that the occupants were
bride and bridegroom were attached
70 the sides and rear.
