Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday for the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday for no luck at ALL
There are countless saying about mar
riage which have come down to us from
long ago, many of which still find favor,
such as Marry in haste and repent at
leisure" and. though it is not so we'll
known, Great joy shown in a brides face
presages misfortune" In the latter say
ings, praise of that old-fashioned virtue
reserve, is evidently intended. Happy
is the bride that the sun shines on is
saying often quoted by anxious gaz-
ers at the weather on the morning of the
day when some fair friend of theirs is to
be married.
Thrice a bridesmaid never bride, -
IS remembered by many a fair damsel
who has twice acted as bridesmaid, and
who is again asked to attend bride to
the altar, but modern girls are strong
minded enough to defy fate, and to un-
dertake the office of bridesmaid as may
be desired The choice of color in the
matter of wedding dress is most i'm
portant, not merely because one color is
more becoming than another, but because
Married in white, yu have chosen all
right;
Married in gray you will go far away;
Married in black, you will wish you were
back
Married in red, you will wish you were
dead,
Married in green, ashamed to be seen;
Married in blue, be will always be true;
Married in pearl, you will live in whirl;
Married in yellow, ashamed of your fell
low;
Married in brown, you will live out OF
town;
Married in pink, your spirits will sink
Speaking of marriage reminds one of the
bridal orange blossoms, and of how the
customs of wearing it originated The
following is an ancient Moorish tradition:
A Moorish king sent a fine orange tree
in magnificent blossom to a Spanish mon
arch. Never before had such a Won
defful plant bloomed in the royal gar
dens. Everyone wanted a slip OF it, but
in vain; the slips were too precious.
At last one day in spray of the glossy
leaves the beautiful blossoms was ACCT
dentally broken off. and the gardnerer
gave it to his poor daughter. who was
betrothed to poor man. The girl had
no dowry, and accordingly her engage
ment seemed a hopeless affair She still
was not too out of heart to take delight
III enhancing her charms, so she fastened
the spray of orange blossoms in her hair
Just then a foreign ambassador was
walking in the garden, and noting the
lovely spray of flowers and leaves in the
girls dusky tresses, he desired to have
it. In exchange for the flowers he gave

Marriage Rhymes.

T every woman the subject of marriage
is interesting, and, therefore, no apology
is needed for recalling some quaint say
ings and customs relating to it, When
a maiden is asked by her lover to name
the happy day which will make her his
own, of course she thinks of what will
be a suitable time. She avoids the season
of Lent, for if married in Lent you are
sure to repent; and then if she be pru-
dent she remembers the following adage:

FLOOD In THE HUDSON.
Overflow Causes General Dcrange-
ment of Railway Traffic.

Albany, N. V, March 2.-Railroad
traffic has been badly interfered with
and not a wheel has turned on a
street car line to-day as a result of
the Hudson river overlooking it's
banks. The entire southern portion
of the city is under. water, and resi-
dents have to use rowboats to, get to
and from their homes.
The New York Central railroad
trains from New York city are from
two to five hours late as a result Of
having to use the tracks of the Har-
lem branch from Hudson to Chatham
and then over the Boston Il Albany
tracks to this city. The New York
Central tracks west Of Albany are en-
tirely under water, and all trains are
transferred to the West Shore rail-
road at Rotterdam Junction.
The trains which left New York at
1880 o'clock last night, and on board
OF which we're, more than one hun
dred passengers, did not reach this
city at all. At Castleton the water
was so high that the engine fires
we're extinguished, and the passen-
gers were forced to remain in the
cars until daylight, when boats were
procured, and they were transferred
to carryalls, which took them to
Brookview, where a Boston e. Albany
train was in waiting to bring them
to this city.
At eight o'clock tonight the water
began to fall slowly, and little more
trouble is looked for.

FIFTEEN YEARS IN PRISON.
III Jury's Award to DR.. Burnett,
Whom They Convicted of
Numbering Mrs. NichO1.

Chicago, March 3.-The jury in the
case of DR.. NOrville s.. Burnett, on trial
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Charlotte S. Nichol, of Nashville,
Tenn, returned a verdict of guilty,
and recommended that Burnett be
sent to the ~penitentiary for Is years.
Burnett's attorneys will ask for a
new trial to-day. The verdict was a
surprise, as Judge Bakers instruc-
tions to the jury We're considered ia
vorable to the defendant.
The case was one of the most I'M
usual that has ever been tried in the
Cook county criminal coart. Burnett,
who is a young dentist, was charged
with being accessory before and after
the fact to the death of Mrs. Nichol,
even though it was admitted by the
prosecution that Mrs. Nichol had
committed suicide. The state en-
deavored to establish the point that
Burnett and Mrs. Nichol agreed to
commit suicide together, and that the
man weakened, allowing the woman
to go to her death alone

GOING TO FEDERAL PRISON.
Crazy Snake and Nine of His Men to
Do Time mt For Leaven-

Muskogee, I. T., March 3.--Chittc
Harjo, or Crazy Snake, and nine of
his followers we're started, yesterday,
for the federal prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kas., to begin their sentences
of two years each for conspiracy
against the government, imposed last
Wednesday, by United States Judge
c. W. Raymond. These Indians, who
comprise the leaders of what is known
as the Snake band of Indians, have
sought to resist the allotment of In
dian lands by the Dawes commission
in the Creek nation and prevent The
settlement of affairs in the Indian
territory. A year ago they stirred up
an uprising that made it necessary to
call out troops from Fort Sill, and
were %fomenting trouble again when
arrested two weeks ago.

OVERLOOKING STREAMS.
Recent Heavy Rains in the East
Have Been Followed by In
calculable Damage.
RIVERS ARE ALL OUT OF THEIR BANKS.
halfway Traffic Generally Suspended In
New York and Pennsylvania. and Much
inconvenience Experienced BY the De-
lay OF M~ails--Some Casualties Are Re-
ported.

trenton, N. j., March 1.-The Della.
ware river reached it's greatest height
mere about three o'clock this after
noon. AT that time it was Il feet
above the normal level. The river
is full of ice and the water Is rush
ing through in torrents, and thou
sands of people visited the river banks
to-day.
Very little damage is being done
by the rise in the river so far as the
actual destruction of property is con-
ccrned. Main street in Trenton and
Mill street in Morrisville, which are
along the river edge, are overlooked
az their lowest point, and some 25
families are obliged to use boats to
get to and from their homes. The
basement of the print mill of Golding
Sons Co. is flooded, and the company
is obliged to cease operations. This
is the only manufacturing plant in
Trenton that is seriously affected by
the flood.
The low lands on both the New .Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania sides of the riv-
er are overfiowed, and the tracks of
the Amboy division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad between Bordentown
and Trenton are under water, and the
operation of the road has been sus-
pended. 1t is reported that the
tracks at Kinkora are also covered
and that there is no train service be-
tween Bordentown and Florence.
Information was received here this
afternoon of n washout on the Belvi-
dere railroad near Lambertville, and
doubt is expressed as to the ability to
get through the evening train from
Trenton to Philippsburg.
The Assantink creek, which empties
into the Delaware river near the bust
ness section of this city, is very high
at its mouth because of the great
height of the river, and the cellars
of a number of stores and dwellings
along the creek are flooded.
At five o'clock the water had fallen
nearly a foot.

FLOOD IN THE sUsQUEHANyA.
Famous Old Comeback Bridge and
Other Property Damaged.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 2.-The sec
ond and third piers of the famous
cid camelback bridge on the Harris
burg side were washed away by high
water early to-day. The bridge was
built in 1916, and was probably the
eldest bridge across the Susquehanna
river. 1t is owned by Harrisburg
capitalists, and will Immediately be
rebuilt.
Much damage has been done by the
high water in and about Harrisburg.
The Pennsylvania railroad steel
bridge at Rockville is in danger, and
the company is sending its trains
over the Cumberland Valley bridge at
Bridgeport. Three of the piers are
badly damaged, and if the water goes
much higher it is expected that the
damaged section will be carried
away. The water has done no dam
age to the 100000 bridge which the
company is building at Rockville.
The Pennsylvania steel works at
Sieelton, and the iron and steels mills
in South Harrisburg haye been forced
to close down on account of water
in the fywheel pits.
South Harrisburg is under water,
and many of the families in that To-
cality are living in the upper stories
of their homes. Last night 200 per-
sons sought safety in the school
house at Eochiel.
The water has been receding since
noon, although it is feared it will
again rise when the volume of water
up the river ome down. Street car
travel between Harrisburg and Steel
ton is badly crippled by high water.
The Pennsylvania railroad tracks be-
tween Middletown and South Harris
burg are covered with water in some
sections.

MissOuri's Coal Output.

State Mine Inspector Evans has
been engaged on his annual report
since January !, and is now so well
advanced as to be able to give an es.
innate of the output of coal in the
state during the year 1901. All the
counties have not yet made full re.
turns, but from those received he es-
Inmates that the production of our
mines will reach 1000, 900 tons, which
is an increase of "A per cent. as COM
pared with any previous year in the
history of coal mining in the state.
He further states that the coal in
dustry is in a healthy and prosperous
condition, and expects a larger in
crease during the present year than
at any time in the past, as the new
mines lately opened out and nov
fully developed are large producers.
The increase of output in some of
the counties is wonderful. Adair
county shows the remarkable in.
rease of % per cent. and the output
of her mines is weekly increasing
Barton county shows an increase OF
.26 per cent. as compared with tn.
previous year. Lafayette county, 0
per cent; Macon county, 62R per
cent. and Randolph, Al per cent,
which puts Randolph second in the
list of coal-producing counties of the
state, exceeded by Macon only. In his
report the inspector will inform his
readers that more new mines have
been opened out and more improve.
creasing the output of coal, than ever
before in the history of the coal
mining industry in the state.
