 Brings About a Wedding.
Eaar American Girl Becomes the Wife Of the Brother of Her seh0el- 0trl CAum-A Pretty Ro-
 mancR,

The marriage of Morris Seagrave Daly, of Cork. Ireland, to Miss Marie N. Doyle, of No. 2147 Clifton avenue, St. Louis. was the epilogue of an old worlds romance. begun in a Paris convent two years ago.
 Miss Da.y, sister of the groom, was the chum of the American girl in the high-walled convent in the en- virons of the French capital. With the aid of this sister chum" the little god, Eros, scaled the convent walls and started the chain of circurn- stances that brought the young Irish man across the sea to claim his bride.
 Miss Doyle had graduated from the Sacred Heart in St. Louis before go- ing abroad to finish her education. Like accomplishments and common language brought the two girls to- gether. Soon they began "chum- ming"
 French schoolgirls hold their chums dearer than sisterG The St. Louis girl and the Cork lass were not exceptions. They studied together and told all their secreta. -a
 You should see my brother Nor ris, !" was Miss Daly's injunction when ever the American spoke of suitors across the sea-
 Miss Doyle grew 6 bit curious to see this wonderful brother whose praise rang in ner ears. Across the English channel the young Irishman was as eager to see his sisters chum. for Miss Daly's letters told of the goodness and beauty of the western girl.
 Last March on her way to America Miss Doyle accompanied her chum homeh There young Daly met the woman he had heard 90 much about. The interest started in the cloister did not lag during the visit.
 Miss Doyle travelled and saw the picturesque sights in the emerald isle. Mr. Daly saw that life without the young American girl would be bleak and bare.
 When Miss Doyle returned home in July, Mir. Daly decided he would soon cross the. sea. The other day he reached St. Louis. The bans were published in St. James church, Cliff ton heights. The wedding occurred at the Church of the Visitation at Easton and Taylor avenues. The marriage was celebrated quietly. There were no attendants.
 Mr.. and Mrs. Daly will travel c month in America. They will live in Cork, where Mr. Daly has a large business. He is member of en an cient Irish family.

WEEDS MARVELLOUS CURES.
RomAta4neaP Finds Simple Remedy f0R Bite of Mad DoGR
 and Snakes.

"A mountafneer named Vincent, who hves on Lookout mountain near Dur ham, Ga, strodeinto that village to find it excited over the appearance of a mad dog. He drove the villagers indoors, and, unarmed, awaited the coming of the dog, which, after desperate strug- gle, he strangled. Applying to the wounds poisonous weed known to the mountaineers as gall of the earth, he was healed. To further demonstrate the curative properties of the weed, he permitted a copperhead and a rattle snake to bite him and was successfully healed. He went to picnic at Lulu lake on Lookout mountain with three rat tlesnakes. In the presence of the crowd he worried the snakes, making them bite him until they would do so no more. He finally put his tongue in the snakes mouth. He begged those present to let the snakes bite them, guaranteeing a cure. A newspaper correspondent paid Vincent 50 cents to show him the weed, but he declined to try it's merits. A. young man present, however, did 30. and after being struck twice by the snake, applied the weed to the bite and ate a portion of it, no bad effect re- Rulting The ignorant moantsineers are excited over Vincent's acts, and think him possessed of supernatural powers On Saturday he cured young maA who was attacked by copper head. although 1t was two hours be- fore he reached him. A pointer dog be- longing to 0 citizen of Chattanooga, while hunting. was bitten by a copper head. An application of the weed and . amAll portion. mixed in milk cured the dog

It had several times been noticed by the motormen stand ing al fence looking ecntemplative- ly at the car as it whizzed past. The other day it got out and as car came along jumped between the tracks and with head down braced itself.
 The car was too close to be stopped. or even to have its speed checked. and so bull and ear met.

AN OPENING IN EUROPE.
coAaul Advocates Rstabiishmenf oi Anerican Depaetmens
 Stores Aboard.


 Vice Consul General Hanauer in an official report to the state department from Frankfort, Germany, advocates the establishment of American depart ment stores abroad as a means of in- Greasing the export trade of this coun- try.
 .In Germany and most other com tinental countries" the vice consul says, ''there are large retail ware houses and stores which sell different lines of dry goods and clothing for fe-
 male wear. Department stores on the order of our own, cOntaining almost everything for human needs. are hard ly known here. Consequently one finds in a European city hundreds of retail storeA, carrying small stocks and seD- ing articles at high prices. .s~
 "I think department stores would find conditions more favorable here than at home in amount of sales and return on the capitalinvested, but the importanee of the plan consists in the immense impetus they would give to the sale of American specialties- household articles of sll kinds, cloth ing, kitchen and iron ware. small ma chimes. tools and instruments, toys, carriages and vehicles, office and dwell ing furniture, fruits and meat, etc.
 -I am confident that such @ concern established ia Frankfort couid within . few years sell American specialties alone to an amount of $3.CG0 ,Oc0 to $4,- OcO. 900 pnually and distribute further quantities by giving agencies to lead ing dealer. of interior towns and cities. In shoes alone 1t could traDs- act q large trade. Our manufacturers need then but offer their products to the home purchasing offioe in order to do a foreign trade"

Abram $. Hewitt Is quoted as saying:
Il believe that the election Of Mr.

in existence, would result In widespread
calamity and business CONFUSION. Its
eneot on business generally would be
hard to estimate, but that its effect
would be disastrous cannot be doubted.
x-Comptroller Ashbel +. Fitch, who
like Mr. Hewitt, is an antl-eNpansionlst
and a gold democrats, said;
Il consider Il my personal duty to
support Mr.. Mckinley. 1 would not
suppo Mr.. Bryan on the best platform
that was ever framed, and 1 would not
vote for the best candidate ever nom
mated on the platform on which MT
bryan Is running"
II all the business democrats VINO hold
the same view were 90 talk and vote th'
