WON COUNTS BRIDE
Brooklyn Girl Accepted Pretensions
and Got Title.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-When the
steamship sardegna sails for Italy this
afternoon she will carry two passen-
gers over the heads of whom hovers a
charming romance OF these later days
Of unconventionality.
Aboard will be Signor Mainardi Ro-
molo FerreIi and his pretty bride. who
Was Miss Emma d. Moeckel. of Brook
Ign. The end of their journey will be
an Italian castle that has become re-
Gently the property Of the bridegroom
through he death OF his mother.
Tho romance of this pair. reversing as
il does he usual order Of American
marriages OF foreign counts. has fur
nished a choice morsel of gossip in cir
cles exclusive and otherwise
When u was announced ;S@t the pair
would marry as a result of a matri-
mcnial advertisement inserted by the
count, who was then waiter in Chi
cago restaurant. il was pointed out by
the incre1dlous that the scion OF a
noble Italian family probably would not
be serving pork chops for livelihood.
But Miss Moeckel. who was employed
as a clerk in a Brooklyn department
store. had faith in her count. who one
day said ffreweH to her. and hurried
home. IN response 10 tidings OF his
mothers death
He returned a few days ago with the
news that he had fallen heir to an es-
tate Yaluei at 81, 500. 900. His clothes
as well as his manner OF passing out

The Carroll manor is larger and

is not known, though If the title were OF

in some measure explain It. for 1t is
truly far and inaccessible from nearly
every point.
The Bowlys we're prominent family

ALREADY PR0PAGATING
PLANTS FOR NEXT YEAR
Captain Brown, Veteran Horticulturist, Planning
Far Ahead for Identification of Reservations

The opening of the new Park Drive
way about the tidal basin will bring
into greater public notice in the near
future the extensive headquarters Of
the Propagating Gardens south of the
Monument and adjacent to the Mall
proper. Although there are grown at
this place all the plants and flowers
used in the decoration of the parks and
public reservations under control o. the
superintendent Of Public Buildings and
Grounds. comparatively few people
know how this immense work is carried
on at this center OF horticultural &C
tivity.
Captain Brown, for many years past
in charge OF the Propagating Gardens,
is already preparing for the propagation
Of the supply of bedding plants for
the Outdoor season of 1904. This is evil
dence of the forethought necessary for
the proper handling of the resources
under his control Although the parks
and reservations are still abloom with
the 1903 stock. much of the succeeding
years stock is now bedded in green
houses at the gardens. to remain there
until wanted next spring

BALTIMORE, Sept. 2s.-one of Mary

even the historic old Carroll mansion
has escaped this dire fate, and within
its dirt bIackened walls a small army Of
workers now exists in utter indifference
to it's former grandeur. But the SUI
rounding country was thought to have
escaped this invasion. The house of
fallen fortunes, long and roomy, and
aristocratic and old. stands dejeetedly

For nearly 200 years It had been the
abode of wealth and refinement, and the

Pupils.

gained the table. where a number of the
children had scrambled for safety. when
Mr.. Green rushed in and seized the anil
NAL by the nape OF the neck.
a terrific struggle ensued, in which
the odds seemed to be in favor of the
brute. But the teacher was strong as
well as brave. and he gradually worked
toward the door of the school room.
Once the dog twisted out of his grasp
and his teeth sank into Mr. Green's leg
All the while reassuring the panic
stricken scholars. the teacher resumed
his task OF dragging the animal alona
the floor. Twice again the dog wrenchec
himself free. and each time Mr.. Greer
felt the fangs in the arm and, wrists
Finally the dog made another rush II
the direction of the children. but Mr.
Green was after him. and the struggle
was renewed.
At the end of half an hour the dog was
dragged outside, when the teacher drop
ped him and hurried for a gun. H'
