For Brides Who Want TO be Lucky

AT recent wedding the bride wore a
PAIR OF blue silk stockings which were
loaned 10 her by Mrs. Charles Free
man. better known as Miss Mary E.
wilkins. thus complying with the con-
ditions OF the old superstition COM
pelilng bride, if she wished for luck,
to wear
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something
blue.
These particular stockings possessed
history dealing entirely with the old
adage, to which brides invariably give
heed. notwithstanding the severity of
their frowns at childish superstitions
upon other and less momentous occa-
sions The hose We're originally pre-
sented by Miss Abby Turner to Miss
Mary e. Wales, with the understand
ing that she should wear them when
married. But as the wedding of Miss
Wilkins. who is friend of Miss Wales,
occurred before the owner of the stock
ings had a chance to wear them her.
self. she turned them over to the bride
to use upon the happy occasion. Then
Miss wilkins passed them on to this
bride. who will in course of time pre-
sent them to some other bride. doubly
lucky in donning stockings twice
blessed.
Few brides care to go to the altar
without complying with the old adage.
Something old" is frequently the we'd
ding veil itself, which, if of good lace,
is handed down as an heirloom to be
worn by all the brides of family.
Something new is hard to get away
from, as the garments of a bride are
usually of self-evident freshness.
Something borrowed" is easily COM
piled with-a pin, ring or hairpin an
swering every purpose. Something
blue" is often a pair Of silk carriers, or
a knot of ribbon tucked away amid
the laces of the lingerie.
A sure talisman against SplnSter-
hood is said to be the wearing of yellow
garters, which have an especial value,
the wise ones say, if presented to maid
ems on Easter Sunday. But should a
| bride present one of her yellow carriers
which served their purpose in her
| own case-to a friend, then it is or
| dained that that lucky individual
might as well begin preparations for
her own wedding, for it is sure to fol-
! low in short order.
A superstitious bride will never en-
| tirely don her wedding costume until
| the time for the ceremony, as to do so
| is supposed to bring bad luck.
Neither will she allow her prospective
| husband to see her in bridal array until
he meets her at the altar, or as near to
| that time as can be conveniently man.

| In dressing herself for her wedding
the bride must remember to put on her

The wedding ring must be circlet
of gold signifying endless devotion

ceremony nor taken from the finger al

 His New Yacht.
 | BRISTOL, R. l., April 6.-So far as the hull is concerned the yacht Reliance, which a syndicate made up of several members of the New York Yacht club has constructed for the defense of the America's cup against Shamrock III., is practically completed, and the yacht will undoubtedly be launched next Sat urday.
 A few finishing touches, such as a coat of white paint for the top sides, some interior fittings and the setting up of the steering gear, will occupy the time until the boat goes overheard.
 The tender of the Reliance, the steamer Sunbeam, has arrived from New York with c. Oliver Iselin, the managing owner of the defender, to- gether with number of his yachting friends who have been on cup defend CTS for the past ten years. Mr. Iselin, accompanied by Captain Charles Barr, who will command the Reliance, made a critical inspection of the new boat.

Damage by Cold Wave.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 6.--During the cold wave the thermometer here at daylight registered 24 degrees above zero, and ice formed on still water dur ing the night. It is not believed that any very serious damage was done to fruit trees because the buds are still small, but young plants suffered se- verely. Central New York vegetation has been slightly damaged by the re- cent cold Tn northern New York buds had not developed enough to be caught. The sap has started again in the ma pies, and owners of sugar bushes are taking advantage of their chance. In the grape and peach regions growers fear much damage has been done.

 SYRACUSE. N. r., April 6.--A spe- eial to the Post-Standard says:
 "The series of burglaries which has been stirring the country around Him. rods for the past few weeks was cleared up in a tragic manner early this morning. The night operator at Himrods thought he heard an explo- sion in the store of Bleed & Forhees. He gave an alarm, and crowd of will lagers quickly surrounded the place. A mans form was seen in the store, and he was commanded to surrender. For reply he boldly opened the door and, drawing a revolver, fired point blank at the crowd. The bullet failed to reach it's mark, and before he could fire again his body was riddled with bullets and shot. He fell unconscious and died soon after
 t.'The burglar was a man of thirty five years of age and weighed 16O pounds. His face was smooth, and he had sandy hair. His clothing was of excellent cut and material. A tattooed mark on the left arm just below the elbow may help to identify him. Tn a book in bis pocket was the address 237 Edwards street and the name Ju- lia Sheffer. A tag on his suit bore the name of Curnett Bros, Watkins, N. Y., and also the name of Frank Hennes- sey. The man was a stranger in the village
 A special to the Post-Standard from Waterloo, N. Y, says: NV
 "Chief of Police Connor was walk ing past Clary's clothing store at an early hour in the morning when he saw light in the place. Quickly gath ering few persons, he held the store surrounded and then entered through a rear window. With revolver in his hand he leaped over counter and called upon two men working at the safe to surrender. One of the pair made dash at the chief, but a blow on the head with the butt of the re- volver quieted him, and both were soon in custody. When taken to head quarters, one gave the name of Joseph McDermott of Cincinnati and the other John Kennedy of Brooklyn

Columbus, O., April 6.--Before a crowd of 1000 persons the Giants de- feated the Columbus team yesterday by a score of to 3. It was a close and exciting struggle, with the inter- est red hot from start to finish Spec tators were lined up behind first and third bases and back of center field. os that a ground rule of only two bases for ball hit into the crowd was necessary. The game was not decided until the eighth inning. When the Giants went to bat at that stage the score was a tie. Babb, the first man ur was retired on a grounder to Mel Tor. Lauder was the right man in the right place, however, for he shot dou- ble over Cristall's head. He stole third and came home on Slattery's wild throw when Gilbert stole second, the latter having reached first owing to Bannon's misjudgment in throwing home when Lauder made bluff to run to the plate on Gilbert's rap. Gil bert scored on Warmers out at first. Cronin rep1aceu Miller in the box in the sixth, but lasted only one inning, his arm having become lame on ac- count of the cold. No runs were made off him, although he could hardly get the ball up to the plate. He is the first of the Giants pitchers to show lameness. Taylor finished the game. The score !
