 Large Crowd of Spectators at City
 Hall Last Night.
 A grand success was the annual concert and sociable of the employees of the Waterbury Buckle company. which was given last evening in the City hall Both the gallery and floor of the hall were crowded. It was one of the best affairs of it's kind held here this season. Everybody had fine time. At S:15 the con cert by Gallipeau's orchestra was commenced. Each number was heartily applauded The main fea- ture of the evening was the colored wedding which was performed on the stage. As the orchestra began to play wedding march. the wedding party made it's appearance. There were the principals in the marriage Frank Smith and Mabel Brown, who were followed by the witnesses and Justice of the Peace Charles w. Bauby. Justice Bauby performed the ceremony, but he forgot his part, somewhat, and did not favor the bride with the customary kiss, even though a youth in the gallery offered such suggestion. Mrs Smith. nev- ertheless. appeared happy as she walked off the stage arm in arm with MT Smith. The wedding was de- cidedly pleasing to the audience. There were about 125 couples in the grand march. Dancing followed. Gallipeau's orchestra furnished mu- sic and Professor Harper was the x,ror,arfor kf,1nb aradi4 fo,. +I,o c,1o. cess of the affair is due to the mem bers of the arrangement committee, which consisted of N.

In the japanese capital there is a gi-
gantic image of a woman made of
wood, iron and plaster. The time of its
erection and the name of its designer
are in dispute, but it is known to have
been dedicated to Hachiman, the god
of war. In height it measures fifty
four feet. the head alone, which is
reached by winding stairway in the

The goddess holds a sword in her right

finest anatomical model in existence,
every bone, joint and ligament being
represented on a gigantic scale in pro-
portion to the height and general size
of the huge figure itself. The large
eyes are magnifying glasses, through
which a fine view of the surrounding

But 1t is not always the fairest prom
lse that comes to the fullest fruition.
and ere the rosy month of June had
waxed and waned and passed up the
summer solstice to July, Lionel Liv-
lngstOne Darlington and Susan Mug
gins were no longer lovers pledged to
wed. 1t had been intimated that Mr..
Darlington was of calculating dispo-
sition, and alas, it was too true.
Within three short weeks of the
sweet scene we have pictured in the
rustic bower of the lute-filled lake. a
dark rumor foated in from Laramie
City to the effect that Susan Muggins'
father had failed in business. Only
a cloud as large as mans hand at
first upon the commercial sky, but it
grew apace, darkening as it grew,
until the storm broke, and E. Alger-
non Muggins' financial condition was
such that he could no longer part his
name in the middle. In other words,
his great fortune was blotted out of
existence, and he was a poor man.
His lovely daughter was at home
when the terrible blow fell, and Lilo
mel Darlington wrote to her at once.
He might have gone in person, as he
had transportation over the railroad,
although not yet elected to the Legis-
lature, but the convention was APP

Forthcoming conflict. He did not
have the time even to write a long
letter. 1t was as follows:

Your friend
Lionel Livingstone Darlington,
"Per Simmons.

The poet has we'll said. ''There is no
fury like a woman scorned, and Susan
Muggins was perfectly furious when
she read this letter, for she was now
onto Mr.. Babington's curves, and
fully realized that it was her money
and not her own sweet self that he
sought. Yet it had not seemed to her
that on that radiant night as she lis
tened to the murmurous music of his
voice pouring his rapture into her
shell-like and willing ear. But Susan s
heart was not broken. 1t was slightly
disfgured, perhaps, but still in the
ring, and it prompted her to revenge.
Revenge is sweet, and Susan always
did have a sweet tooth. She had even
said to Lionel on more than one oc-
casion: "Oh, you sweet" but that was
before he wrote the letter. What she
said after that was scarcely fit for
publication.
Some women might have sent for
him to come to him, or they might
have gone to him and soaked his spats
with their tears as they groveled at
his feet pleading for his love. Not so
Susan Muggins. For moment only
was she stunned by the cruel blow.
Quickly pulling herself together, she
soon got her second wind, and went
on the war-path for the recreat L. L..
Darlington. Did she seek him with
the pungent pistol, or the penetrating
poniard, or else the destroying acid
for his fatal facial beauty? Nit. She
knew his most vulnerable point and
she went in person to have heart-to-
heart talk with the leader of the fac
ton arrayed against the Darlington
political interests, and she found him
only too ready to make any kind of a
combine looking to the overthrow OF
the Machiavellian schemes which
menaced the palladium Of the nations

Bridal Tour Interrupted.

youthful pair were married at Leon and

reached Albany the bridegroom, who

wandered out into town to visit friend.

at Darlington, returned on the evening
