over night.
'She told him that she would not be

expected TO so out to the theater that

returned she would ask him TO see
that all the windows were securely

to retire. just before getting into bed,

just opposite the door to the room and

reflected from the transom the face

Being of a cool temperament and

Fowler attempted to board a Penn
sylvania train atIMontgomery, 20 miles
from Wiliamsport. The porter, not
seeing her, closed the vestibule door
just as she mounted the steps, and the
train began to move. The woman
called loudly for help, but the noise
of the train drowned her voice.
A mile out of the station a freight
train passed in the opposite direction,
and Mrs. Fowler's skirts, catching on
the engine, were almost torn from her
body. 1t was with great difficulty that
she retained her hold. When the train
rounded curves the inclined ears made
her position still more perilous.
When the train stopped at a station
five miles from Montgomery Mrs.
Fowler fell in a state Of collapse.

BEAUTY WEEDS MILLIONS.
w. a. Clark Jr. and Miss Mabel Foster
Quietly Married at Butte.

The agony is over ut last and the
great event of the season in social cir
cles, the marriage OF Miss Mabel Fost-
er and w. \. Clark .Jr., has taken
place. the ceremony being performed
last Wednesday night in Butte. Rev.
S. {. Blackiston otficiated, the brides
father giving her away. Both bride
and groom were unattended and the
whole affair was as quiet and simple
as possible. Only the thirty five rela-
tives and some twenty most intimate
several hundred attended the general
reception held afterwards. The house
was elaborately decorated, the front
parlors in white and green and the
other first floor rooms in CLOWN" reds.
The orchestra was stationed behind a
screen of smilax and roses. The bride
wore an exquisite robe of Duchesse
lace and white chiffon over white taf-
feta. She wore the conventional veil,
fastened with real orange flowers and
carried a shower bouquet. Her gown
was made Ell traine and Of course high
neck, the corsage finished with her
only ornament, superb dog collar OF
immense diamonds and pearls. the gift
Of the bridegroom. Her sister, Mrs.
Goeffray Lauzier, acted as matron OF
honor and was gowned in a magni fl
cent robe of Arabian chiffon, bright
tiowers woven and cleaning through
the neshes; ornaments diamonds. The
array of presents was truly dazzling
chests of silyerware, single pieces
gold ware, antiques, marbles. Gu
glass, rare china and jewels, among
the latter 4 magnificent diamond an,
emerald ring given by Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Walker Clark. The young
couple have gone east and will go to
Europe, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w.
Clark meeting them later.
The bride is very young, not twenty
and looks like Il schoo! girl, which
she is. She was not graduated and
was to have returned to the Pittsburg
schools, and she came out at her en-.
gagement party.
Now that the marriage i over pco
pie are turning their thoughts. not to
the Fourth oi July, but to the races
which are to begin the Goth There
are some magnificent strings of horses
and some good Jockeys, and everyone
is saving their money to play til,
races. Spe 1king of the 4th, some pa.
triotic citizens insist that there shal
be a celebration and lhey are circulat
ing around trying to raise the none,
for display Of fireworks and accessor
les. Citizens, however, are very luke
warm in their sanction of this. Prob
ably once they get it started the true
Butte spirit will show itself and
the affair will be a credit to all con
cerned.
