Soaps, who is now known as the "aSeh

consciousness for a little while yesterday,
when this conversation took place pc
tween himself and his physician:
"How do you feel?' asked the DOCTOR.
"Verv weIl,'' replied the waxen man,
looking curiously at his hands, which
had a queer angle. "Fee1inS tine.
stAny pains?'' asked the physician
.small1 one in the stomach replied the
waxen image in the bed
To the questions as to his wants con-
corning food and cigarettes, he said that
he wished neither. He could get along.
He was telling the doctor something about
the death of his father when he suddenly
became as uncommunfcative as one or
Mrs. Jarley's waxworks.
He had returned to his cataleptic sleep
with his head poised on neck placed at
a right angle. The surgeons turned him
over on his side to make him more COM
Portable. If that insured any greater ease
he did not show it, and made no acknowl-
edgment of the courtesy.
1t was believed at one time that he was
a cigarette fiend, but after this experience
the decor does not think so.
PARTED AT THE ALTAR.
A wedding ceremony in Brooklyn was
Interrupted yesterday by woman and
the marriage was called off. DR.. Samuel
A. Gluck and Mrs. Dora Wickman were
standing up before the Rabbi, and this
question was asked:
rs there any one present who can give
any reason why Samuel A. Gluck and
Dora Wickman should notloe made man
and wife,"
Then woman suddenly stepped from
the crowd and. waving a marriage GER
tificate, shouted: 81 am that mans legal
wife"
Er. Glucl1 was as much surprised at
this interruption as any one. He exam
ined the paper and found that he had
been married to her on January 4, 1891, at
the home of Rev DR.. Schneider. No. SO
Second Avenue, this city. Gluck declares
that. although he remembers the woman,
he has no recollection of ever having mar
ried her.
The ceremony was, of course, brought
| to an end, and Or. Glucs started out TO
investigate He learned, he says, that
on the day he was supposed to have mar
ried the woman, whose name was Dora
Golden. he had been to her house and there
drank several bottles of wine and became
! intoxicated, and declares that while in
that condition he must have been taken TO
| the clergyman's house, where the cere-
mony was performed He also asserts
| that he never lived with the woman and
| had no knowledge of the marriage until
! to-day. He has begun suit for absolute
| divorce against the woman. claiming to
| be his wife.
| Attorneys for Smith & Dillon. the tail
! ors who are suing Mrs. Howard Gould,
| made application yesterday to the City
Court to have the case advanced on the
| calendar.
The original bill presented by the tall
| ors was S2,lS5. They assert that Mrs.
| Gould retained dresses to the value OF
| S1,142, and refused to settle for the re-
mainder. Among the disputed gowns was
| a white lace creation which cost $780, and
| relative to which Mrs. Gould is alleged to
| have said to the dress-makers: II have
| visited Mrs. Langtry behind the scenes
] and examined her gowns. L want mine
| to look like that. 1t will just suit my
| style"
The answer, to the action is 4aat tne
| talors have received. full payment for
everything they furnished. The counsel
| for Mrs Gould asked that the case be sent
| before referee. Plaintiffs demanded a
| jury trial.
| It has been suggested that it might be
| more appropriate TO have a jury OF women
| determine the merits of this cause.
| THIRTY-1WO IUlNArICS FIGHT.
| Mention was made yesterday of a tight
among four lunatics who were being con-
| veyed in an ambulance to Bellevue Hos
| pitalA When the lunatics arrived the
| other patients were very much excited by
| the ARRAY. and as. a consequence thirty
| two OF them overpowered the four nurses
| who We're in charge, and for an hour raL
! wildly at large in the corridors, doing
| personal violence to all who inserrered.
| Carmen was sung at the Lexington
| Avenue Opera House last night by ne
| groes, the first time that grand opera has
| been presented in New York by members
| of that race.
