WEEDS Girl on Deathbed.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 26.-Louis
Tuchel was married this afternoon
to Amanda PaWeke of GAL Greenfield
avenue at what is believed to be her
deathbed. The couple had been engaged
for long time. Miss Paweke became
sick a month ago and her illness de-
ve1oped rapidly, she being unconscious
most of the time for the last two days.
In one of her conscious moments she
expressed a wish to be married at once.
A license and special dispensation were
secured and Rev. Adolph Baebenroth
performed the marriage service. The
bride has been slightly better since,
though her death is looked for at any
moment.

SHAVED WHISPERS.
When Aged Gentleman's Wife Re-
turned Pathetic Scene Ensued.

There is well known old gentleman
in Detroit who might a few days ago
have been easily distinguished in a
crowd by the length of the hirsute
adornment on his chin. His wife is a
motherly old body who hadn't seen her
hubby without these patriachial whisk-
ers for more than 80 years, till one sad
day last week that will long be remem-
bered in that particular household and
by the remainder of the party that was
spending a few weeks at the st. Clair
fats.
The old gentleman rather prided him
self on his good looks. He is a great
admirer of a pretty face. There were
number of ladies in the party who
began to rally the old man about his
looks. He would be so much better look
ing, they said, if only he would have
off those old whiskers.
One day last week his wife went up
the river with a friend. The old man
disappeared for a long time. When he
finally reappeared he was a sight for the
gods. His whiskers, in which he had ia
ken so much pride, were in the waste
basket, and his chin was as smooth as
a baby's. 1t took about Is seconds for
everybody in the house to get next, then
such shouts of laughter arose as never
before had been heard in that cottage.
/, The pathetic part of the incident hap
pened when his wife came back. The
old man had forgotten all about his
whiskerless face. His wife gave one
gasp of astonishment and sank to the
ground overcome When she came to
she sobbed as if her heart were broken,
and the old man followed suit Locked
in each others arms and couple sat on
a table, and members of the family say
that for at least one hour the tears
coursed down their withered faces. The
aged culprit is making all possible haste
to cultivate a new bunch of spinach

divorce from Alice Nj. Eckles. The COM

Last night some one perpetrated one
on the police which is liable to get
them in trouble. Shortly after 10
O'Clock there came a call for the wagon
at the Dutton house, Fourth and Kan
sas avenue. Jailer Miller inquired who
1t might be that required the services
Of the Dark Maria. The answer was
Luther Nellis." Now Miller knew that
Nellis, although q councilman, had no
business getting into police circles, but
thought that he might have been sent
to the phone by an officer, so the wagon
went down. There was nothing to it.
Neither policeman or councilman were
IN sight. Ten minutes later Nellis APP
peared from the opposite direction car
ry1ng huge watermelon with which to
feed the officials, and denied having
sent in any such call. Then Miller and
Detective Reed swooped down on the
Dutton house and questioned the two
men in the office, the clerk, Howard
Holland, and Frank Crist jointist, who
was present Crist said that Holland
was guilty, and Holland declared that
1t was Crist who was sore at the de-
partment for pinching him a few days
ago on a nuisance charge. A few hours
later the landlady of the hotel found
Holland good and drunk in the hotel
Office, discharged him and requested a
policeman to take him away. 1t was
done, and now perhaps the police will
tack on a little for sending In a false
alarm.
This morning officers were called upon
to arrest Albert Craig, a negro living at
1858 Clay street, who is insane. Craig

the penitentiary and later to the asy-
