HOTEL GOSSIP.

couple DdG DGSn married Yesterday aQt
they now proposed spending their honey
moon in Zion. ~. Davis expressed sur
prise last night that he should be taken
SO quickly for bridegroom at his tim,
tail as TO how he had succeeded in car
rying away the charming young society
lady from Sac City, Iowa
Apparently there has been a unique lit
tie romance in Deer Lodge county, where
the bride first met Levi Davis while she
was teaching school there some two
wears ago. The mutual acquaintance rip
ened into something nearer and deareT
with the result that there was a quie
wedding at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
j. a England IN Cheyenne yesterday at
o'clock, when Mr. Davis, one Of tbs
prominent business men of Anaconda,
who is at the head of the abstract ans
| title company that bears his name was
united IN marriage to Miss Matte Hance.
After tarrying in this city for a few
days the pride and groom viii return TO
| Anaconda 10 receive the congratulations
of their mutual friends.
The Knutsford hotel was thrown into
| state of incipient Danie yesterday al
ternoon by the appearance upon the scene
/ of a tall gaunt Englishman fianked by
1 three lovely daughters each OF whom
were six feet three inches in height if
/ they were an inch.
"Aw, L want three rooms and a bawth, -
! said the Englishman as he screwed his
/ monocule into the socket of his left eve
/
1 the desk with a CLASSY stare. After in
! scribing Benz. Campbell. Shanghai" on
/ the page of the register the Britisher
stated that he was hungry and needed
some tifin dontcher know"
/ On being informed that the dining room
had been closed for the past two hours
i and that he would have to wait until din
ner time three hours later the wrath o.
| contemplate.
What. cawn't set a bIoomin' bite to
/ eat. aw, it is Dreposterous YOU know.
/ But / must have it you know.
BY means of declaring an armistice a
messenger was finally dispatched Tor some
| ham sandwiches. Then the fOrrid Saxon
marshalled his forces to repair 10 his
| room.
Ten minutes later he bore down upon
| the Office like a veritable cyclone TO the
! tune of The Campbels are Coming, Oh
| Dear. What was said would not look
well in a sterling family paper. Just at
that moment a reporter caught hun.
Mr.: Campbell of Shanghai, pre-
sumo"
You, aw. are right. And who in the
Explanations we're in order during
/ which it was explained that it was the
delightful custom Of hosDitable America
| to greet the stranger in our gates and
/ extend the glad hand to all distinguished
! foreigners generally.
"Aw, [ see you want to interview me,
/ presume. Well If you do, dom cher know,
you are jolly well mistaken. You fellows
| had better mind your own business. II
you want to interview anyone go and tax
elsewhere"
The insinuation on the part of the re
porter to the effect that he was attend
ing strictly to business was like pouring
oil upon the troubled waters. On account
of the strained relations the public Is
consequently debarTed from learning
whether the distinguished traveller got
his "tiffin" or not From indications he
did not.
The Rev. William Dale of New Barnet
England, is among the guests that are
