wEDDED ON TRI-sTATE ROCK.
Bridegroom, Bride and the Minister Each Stand in Different State
 During Ceremony.

The wedding of Miss Lucinda Mey- CTS, school teacher of Johnston's Station, and Harry Pantler, of New burg, has just been announced, al- though it took place on Christmas day, 1900, on Tri-state rock, at the junction of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
 Rev. David Thomas, blind preach CT of the Free Methodist church, a brother-in-law of the bride, and Miss Katie Bridges, of Iowa, a cousin, were bridesmaids. The officiating clergyman was the brides brother, Rev. M. Meyers.
 The bride took a position on the New York side of the rock and the bridegroom on the Pennsylvania side. The officiating clergyman stood on the Jersey side, while the best man and bridesmaids were in New York. The wedding was kept secret because the bride desired to finish her con- tract as teacher at Johnston's Sta- tion. The term ended last week, and the wedding was then made public.

AN INTERESTING FOWL FAMILY.

the record for the year of 197 eggs.
 The other hen is known by the name of 'Tooksall," and a few days age celebrated her semi-annual birthday by continuing business at the old stand, and thus far with a record equal to that of Peggy, which she may possibly be able to beat. Both hens are of the Plymouth Rock variety, tame, loyable, singing all the time, and genuine pets. "Tooksal'' has a record not enjoyed by the other hen, and with a history as interesting.
 "Tooksall'' and Tom one of the ugliest roosters that was eyer known, cah be- sdenoininated twins, sas they both emerged from the shell in all together violent, maSner not com mon in chiellenaonl. The nest was in the loft of the barn of County Clerk Hughes, and in some manner the two eggs rolled away from the mother hen and fell through hole in the floor below. For some unhccoun ntable req son the mother hen refused absolute ly to have anything to do with the twoi chicks and so alone and forsaken they were taken to the house and cared for by Mrs. Hughes daughter Mae, who made pets of them, and dubbed them the 1.-Two Orphans" by which name they are generally known now. From pets they became nui- sance and bother tors Mrs. Hughes, and she threatened to kill them, when Miss Mae brought them to her grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Burnett.
 t'Tooksall'' celebrated St. Patrick's day by laying her first egg, and this she has missed only five days since.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSERVATIVES
Taxuayers of Manhattan and Bronx Urge New York City to Establish
 Institution Outside of the City.

An appeal was made by representa- tives of various taxpayers organiza- tions in Manhattan and Bronx to have the city establish outside of the city limits a public hospital for the care of consumptive poor. The Henry law, passed by the last legislature, gives authority to the city to establish such an institution, and Mayor Van Wyck and Comptroller Coler are now in- vestigating the subject. The agita- tion was started by the Park District Protective league and the Kingsbridge Improvement association.
 The taxpayers request that imme- diate steps be taken to establish a hospital outside the city for con- sumptive poor; that the patients at Seton hospital, small hospital al- ready established, be confined to the grounds; and that the institution be compelled to enforce proper sanitary regulations.
 In Germany over 100 sanitariums for the care and treatment of con- sumptives have been f, established, largely through government aid. In Germany the life insurance companies find it profitable to send their insured who have tuberculosis to sanitariums for treatment. France has 2,S00 beds for the care of consumptive poor. The French government is completing a sanitarium at Agincourt to cost 100000 francs.

NEW FASHION IN DUELs.
At Paris Ladies Are Among the Spec tators and Police Are Present
 to Preserve Order.

A new departure in French duels has been taken. In the famous fight between an Italian maitre d'armes, Signor Pini, and M. Thomegeux, a well known Paris amateur, they first set the fashion of duel with. gal lery. In the duel between Prince de Sagan and Abbe Hermant the pho- tographer first came on the scene.
 But it was reserved for the sensa- tional duel between M. Max Regis and M. Labardesque to bring half a dozen ladies on the scene, and to have score of police keeping order outside the cycle track, where the duel was fought, and many inside in specting the cards of the privileged spectators.
 The duel, however, was not pour rire." Of the half dozen encounters recently seen it was the one in which the two men meant business, and it was with sigh of relief that the spectators saw the slight wound, in- f1icted by pure accident, which put an end to the encounter.

reaccfuI Mission for Cannon Balls.
 The authorities at one of the Brit ish naval arsenals were rather sur prised recently by the inquiry as to whether they had any old cannon balls for sale-14 and 2S pounders, such as Nelson used at Trafalgar. It turned out that they were required by the owner of Welsh slate quarry. When large slab of stone has to be detached a slit is opened behind it, and small cannon balls dropped in. The workmen then ''jobble" the part1y-loosened block to and fro with their crowbars and at every move ment the cannon balls drop deeper. Very soon larger balls can be in serted, and then the whole block falls forward, completely severed.-Car- diff Western Mail.

ATTACKED BY PEI CAT.
Mother of Mrs. Howard Gould Is Bit- ten While She Is Caressing
 Young Kitten.

Mrs. Dayan, wife of John W. Dayan, one of the officials of the Southern Pacific company, and the mother of Mrs. Howard Gould, was attacked by her pet cat and so seri- ous are her injuries that Dr. Doss, her physician, fears blood poisoning. The attack was made on Mrs. Dayan in her home on University avenue, Palo Alto, Cal The cats were in the base ment of the house, and Mrs. Dayan went there to satisfy herself that all was we'll with pussy and her kittens. As long as Mrs. Dayan confined her caresses to the mother cat all was we'll The animal purred and turned her face affectionately to her mis- tress. But when Mrs. Dayan at tempted to carry one of the kittens lying close to the mother there was trouble. The big cat sprang up and before Mrs. Dayan could realize what was happening the animal had sunk her sharp front teeth into one of Mrs. Dayan's fingers. The teeth passed through the nail and almost severed the top of the finger. Again the cat scratched and bit her hand before Mrs. Dayan flew upstairs. The shock of the encounter made Mrs. .Dayan exceedingly nervous, and she was in state of collapse when the doctor arrived. The doctor said the wounds might heal, but that he had grave fears of blood poisoning.

TWO IN NDUsTRIOUs HENS.
Both Have Egg-Laying Records That Have Rarely Been Equaled and
 Never Excel1ed.

Mir. and Mrs. Absolem Burnett, o1 Peru, Ind., lay claim and take credit of having in their possession two of the best producing hens, and both with records rarely if ever equaled. and never beaten.
 Peggy" the elder, occurred recently, and Mrs. Burnett allowed her to cele- brate it by her first setting. When Peggy" first began laying she made it daily habit for 46 consecutive days Then she took a rest for four days, beginning business at the old stand and running up the record to "A eggs.

had to ride ten miles to it every morn ing and some of her small pupils had to ride half as far. Manifestly she had to learn to ride and as manifestly she had to help her pupils care for their mounts at the school. This was the beginning.
 To-day, in divided skirt, military jacket, laced boots and spurs, and wide sombrero, she sends Bobby, Frank or Dutch in a. long, swinging gallop to- wards the little schoolhouse on the plain, riding out each morning and back at night. Nearly every pupil is the child of white father and squaw mother, but they are bright and tract able. They are devoted to the pretty, dark-eyed teacher, who has grown plump and prettier than ever in the exercise. Like most western horses, even her favorite Dutch bucks when the rider mounts, but, like all western riders, she does not care and she never has been unseated. Not only has she added horsemanship to her teaching, but her love for horses has caused her to read and study until she is an ex- pert veterinarian.
 Not only is s'The Reserva tionY' school odd because of it's pupils, but in one corner of it every night half dozen cowboys cook, eat and sleep, going out from it next morning, leaving the room spotlessly clean and in order. Every cowboy is as loyal to the teacher as if he were a pupil and their admiraa ton of her riding, when she takes" a gate, a gully, or some of the devil out of a broncho, is unbounded.
