ODD WEDDING MISHAPs.
One Man Wore His GaIoshes at the
Ceremony.

From the Kansas City Journal
A group of young men. all of whom
had taken part in weddings, were tell
ing their "reminiscences. The stories be-
gan when the tall, thin one said:
"At every wedding there is some
thing unexpected. 1 do not mean par
ticularly such as that fine affair we
saw to-day, for it was a performance
where everything was done by con-
tract, and where that instant enjoy
ment was lost in the commonplace
ease of the professionals, who arrange
things as smoothly and as solemnly
as if they were undertakers prepar
ing for a funeral. A real wedding is
where no irreverent or mechanical out
slider lays his hand on the programme"

to remove them in the little anteroom.
1.-THE ceremony was without flaw,
and the happy bride and bridegroom

special pair of patent feathers for the
occasion. 1t was in a small city, and
the December snow had turned into

old friend came forward, and we were

of us who were standing near it was
excruciating."

Diamonds in Back Yards.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Biologists have just about made UP
their minds that diamonds will never
be found in this country ia any con-
siderable quantities. Every now ana
then a gem of this kind turns up in an
accidental sort OF way in one place or
another, and suggestions of diamond
fields offer themselves to imaginative
people. Why, ii is urged should not
the United States, so rich in almost
everything else, possess this kind OF
mineral wealth, hidden away in some
unsupported locality?
Such a thing is possible, but unlike
ly. Geologically nearly the whole of
this country has been pretty well ex-
plored, and there does not seem to be
any prospect that it will ever rival
South Africa as a producer of dia-
monds. A few dollars worth OF these
gems per annum appears to be about
all we can reasonably expect as an
output.

Four Mile Hill, an account of which
was given in the Morning News, was
not tramp but planter named Corn
Flowers. 1t is supposed that while un
der the influence of liquor the ne
gro went to sleep on the track. He
was badly crushed, and Coroner KEEL
Ter decided that an inquest was not
necessary. The coroner went to the
place by rail. and the body was brought
to the city on the same train for
burial.
An aged white woman was found on
the East Side yesterday and sent to
st. Joseph's Infrmary in the police
ambulance, upon the theory that she
was i'll. An investigation developed
the fact that the woman was suffering
from an over supply of liquor and she
was sent 10 the police station house.
The woman was in a stupor for quite
a while, and when she. recovered, gave
her name as Mary Mitchell. She will
be given a hearing on a charge of
drunkenness in Police Court this morn
ing.
