WITHOUT THE FRlLLS.
A Church Wedding Reported by Man
who Wanted to Get Even.

who Wanted to Get Even.
An editor who was thoroughly tired
of the foolishness that goes on at a
church wedding finally got even as
follows: "They were married in great
style. All the elite of the town were
invited, principally because it was
thought that they would be more like
ly to bring elegant presents for the
bride.
"Of course the ceremony took place
in the church. and the church was
most beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion. Potted plants were borrowed
here and there. wherever they could
mad enough to fight.
"The brides young lady friends had
the decorations in charge, and when
they were not making nosegays they
were chewing the rag about the trou-
BILE and work, and wishing that the
bride had sense enough to get up her
own wedding. The ushers wore claw
hammer coats. parted their hair in the
middle and stepped high when they
walked down the aisle. The coats
were hired from q costumer. and their
white gloves came from an under
takers who kept them on hand for
funeral occasions.
at was a ring ceremony. The ring
was monstrous gold band borrowed
of the village jeweler. People called
the bride lovely, but she was so home
ly that hollyhocks wouldn't grow in
the dooryard where she lived. The
bridegroom was dressed in conven-
tional black. so called because his
father once wore the coat to a Demo.
cratic convention. The presents were
simply elegant. They came from peo.
pie who couldn't afford to hire the
washing done or buy bakers bread.
Then after a 'sumptuous supper the
bride and groom went to ST. Louis on
their wedding tour, where they spent
more money in "a hours than both of
them can earn in month"

Very old persons and very young
persons are apt to be great sticklers
for etiquette. Queen Victoria was an ex-
ample of the one, and Lord Beauchamp,
the present governor of New South
Wales, of the other. Since the latter
has occupied the government house at
Sydney he has been at great pains to
make official receptions as imposing
and dignified as possible. With this
end in view, he has ordained that only
guests of a certain rank should be
permitted to approach the presence
through designated doors. To these
blue tickets are awarded; to others of
inferior mould, white.
At a recent function. through some
mismanagement, an important public
man received a blue card, while a
white one was sent to his wife, and
when the pair reached the audience
chamber, there was trouble. The
lady declined to be separated from her
husband, or TO abandon the aristo-
cratic blue ranks. An aide-de-camp
endeavored to reason with her, and
explain the commotion that would en-
sue if blue and white were suffered to
mingle together. But the fair one
was equal to the occasion.
Nonsense" said she, as she pressed
forward; what do you take us for?

GETTING CATTLE TO YUKON.
How the Northern Military Posts Are
supplied with Beef.

supplied with Beef.
e. B. Hanley, who has a government
contract for furnishing live bees to
the various military posts of the Yu-
kon, is spending a few days at the
Imperial. He is preparing to take up
drove of cattle with him in the
| spring of 1901, and expects to go in
by Skagway. freighting the stock
from that point to White Horse Ra-
pids by rail, 100 miles. and thence
down the Yukon by boat and barge to
the military posts. such as Circle
City and Fort Yukon. says the Port
land Oregonian.
Mr.. Hanley says the forwarding of
cattle to Alaska is attended with many
difficulties, and there is danger of
loss from upsetting of barges or
from the animals straying into the
deep woods along the Yukon. and so
beef is worth a good figure by the
time 1t is safely landed at its destina-
ton. The stock has to be landed
along the route frequently for the pur-
pose of feeding, as the cattle have to
live Off the country they pass through.
The woods are mostly of the dense Or
der along the Yukon in American ter
ritory, and once steer gets out OF
sight he becomes wild and scampers
off where there is no possibility of
| following him. Horses cannot be
used in that region. and the men on
guard at night have to depend on
their own fleetness of foot in heading
Off a "critter" which attempts to break
away. The cattle, however, are usual
ly very gentle by the time they reach
the camping places along the river. as
they have had sea voyage. a freight
car ride and trip on the river boats.
They are in good beef condition when
they leave the states. and much care
is bestowed on them while en- route in
order that they may hold their own
until they are received by the govern
ment's agents.
MIR, Hanley does not think any part
of Alaska will ever become q stock
raising country. although much has
been said in its favor by persons who
are not conyersant with the stock
raising business. at is true that con-
siderable grass grows in various por-
tons of the territory" he said. but
the growing season is too short. and
domestic animals have to be fed and
housed at least nine months in every
year, even in the most favored por-
tions." He has been along the coast
of the Alaskan peninsula, and found
no place where cattle can be main
tanned at a profit. and he considers
that the men who call that a stock
country know very little about the
business.
He has never attempted to take
sheep into Alaska. because these ami
mails could not be protected from the
dogs which are numerous in that re-
gion. and so he thinks domestic NUT
ton will always be at a premium
there. "The Alaskan dogs" he said.
ARE trained to hunt the mountain
sheep. and so cannot discriminate in
favor of the domestic article when
band of these is brought into the
country. The wild sheep are still
numerous all over. and their flesh is
considered fully equal to mutton. They
run in droves above the timber line,
and there is very little danger of ex-
terminating them for many years to
come"

Papyrisette, "A New Roofing Material.

A new roofing and flooring material
has been invented by Mr.. Gehre. who
was the inventor also of papyrolith,
over which the newer material is said
to present advantages. Papyrisette
can be adapted for various purposes;
but it is especially intended to serve
as a solid. impermeable and jointless
roof or floor. which. when laid down,
will present a smooth surface, as il
made in one continuous layer. 1t is
claimed to be absolutely flreproof and
a non-conductor of cold or sound. and,
although as hard as stone. it has a
soft, linoleum-like feeling to the foot
and is noiseless. Moreover. it can be
cut, sawn and bored. can be given any
desirable tint. and can be made to
look like mosaic or marble.

Savannah, September 2.-Business of all kinds was practically suspended today in honor of Labor Day. There was parade of organized labor In which both races participated. A feature of the parade was the fact that the line was led by the ne- gro union of bricklayers. After the pa rade the unions took trains for Tyhee Island, twenty miles distant, where the principal events of the day were to occur. During the afternoon there was much boisterousness at the island and a num- Der of fights At night there was much fighting, which at one time promised to become a dangerous riot, between civil fans and soldiers from Fort Screven. A call was sent to the barracks for troops to quell the disturbance, but there was no response After the rioting subsided it was found there were many broken heads and noses but no fatalities.

SOME RARE SPORT
 AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY
Herbert Won Twin City Handi-
 cap by Desperate Spurt
KEPT THE SPORTS GUESSING
Gold Heels Had the Lead Up to the Last Twenty Yards and Looked Like a Winner, but Was
 Beaten by Head.

New York, September "A big holiday crowd but little smaller than the record breaking attendance on Futurity Day en- joyed a rare days sport at Sheepshead Bay today. Ten high-class horses faced the starter in the Twin City handicap, with Gold Heels favorite at to and Herbert second at to 1. Ten Candles rushed to the front in the first quarter and opened up gap of three lengths on the field going around the first turn. The black whirlwind Imp was second at this stage, with The Regent third and the others we'll punched. Herbert, as usual, was slow to begin, but he gradually im- proved his position going up the back stretch and caught the pacemaker on the far turn. Ten Candles had enough, and with Imp and The Regent dropped back beaten, Golden Heels showed in front,but at the last furlong pole Terminus took command and looked to be the winner, but Herbert, with a game, determined rush, won on the post by head, while Trigger was third, only a scant length be- hind Terminus.
 Another striking feature of the day was The Ogden's dual victory. He took up 130 pounds and won the second race, a six furlong dash, beating Cameron a head af- ter hard drive. In the fast time of 1 :13 3-5 He was cooled out and sent to the post in the last race, at mile and sixteenth on the turf. He was made a strong favorite at to 10 and won clever1y by a length
