The Oppenheimers, of Louis
vile, Re-Married This
Week.
RECALLS NOTED TRIAL.
Mrs. Oppenheimer is a Ma
tive of Russellville,
Kentucky.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 26. Mrs. OPP
penheimer, who was the defendant
in what was probably the most SEN
sational murder trial that has occur
ed in the United States in recent
years, was married here yesterday to
her former husband, Moses Open
heimer. Mrs. Oppenheimer was
separated from her husband some
years ago and a divorce was
secured about year ago. During
her trial at Cincinnati for the MUIR
der of her child and during the
months of imprisonment proceeding
it, Oppenheimer refused to have
anything whatever to do with his
wife.
After her acquittal, Mrs. Open
heimer returned to Kentucky. Sew
eral months ago she went to Little
Rock, Ark. on a visit. While there
she met Moses Oppenheimer and
they were thrown together in such a
way that they could not, with cour-
tesy to their host, avoid each other.
Their courtship was renewed with
the result that they were second
time engaged. Oppenheimer re-
turned to his business in Chicago and
Mrs. Oppenheimer returned to Ken
lucky. Nothing was known of their
having met again until preparations
were made for the wedding today.
She was charged with having kill
ed her child in Cincinnati hospital
shortly after it's birth. The trial
was long one and put the woman
on a severe strain. One of the fea-
lures of the trial was the exhibition
Of the stomach of the infant in the
court room in an effort to prove that
poison was given it.
Mrs. Oppenheimer was formerly a
Russellville girl.

Democratic party to lead the faith
full to the promised land Of politics,
is the role that may be thrust on
him January 10 by the leaders of
the party.
Hon. William J. Bryan, it is be-
lieved. will launch presidential
boom for the Mayor of Chicago at
the annual banquet of the Jackson
Club. That his recommendation
would carry great weight is conce-
ded. The Overwhelming defeat of
Nov. 8 still is fresh in the minds of
the leaders.
Among the prominent men in the
party who will be present at the
banquet, at which the reorganiza-
ton of the Democracy will be dis
cussed, are Judge Alton B. Parker,
Thomas Taggart, William Randolph
Hearst, Gov. Folk, of Missouri, Hon.
Samuel Alschular, of Illinois, Gov.
Adams, Of Colorado, Mayor Carter
H. Harrison, of Chicago. Judge
Thompson, of Jacksonville, Illinois,

Kentucky, Elliott Stephens, of Wis

Mayor Harrison is known to be re-
garded highly by Mr.. Bryan, and i'll
is believed the Chicago mans chance
is excellent for selection to head the
Democratic national ticket in 1908.
In any event, it is believed. certain
that vigorous plans for revivifying
the party will be adopted at the
dinner, which marks the most i'm

The compensation Of q member Of
congress is not limited to 5000 a
year salary.
IN addition to his salary, he receiv-
es 81 200 a year for clerical hire, not
to pay clerk as may be supposed.
The member receives this amount ia
monthly payment on warrants paya-
bic to himself. About one-third Of
the members have use for and keep
clerks, paying them the amount
allowed for such purpose. The other
two thirds pocket this allowance. or
distribute it in the family, if the
member has one, and is the same
thing.
Each member receives $l25 a SEES
sion for stationery. This is drawn
in cash, by a majority Of the mem
bers, costing them nothing. The
members pay no railroad fare, annual
passes are given them over the roads
unsolicited.
Free telegraph and express ser
vices are at their command. They
are paid mileage to and from their
home at the rate of 20 cents mile, i
and no postage to pay on their let
ters, correspondence or bundles.
To illustrate, take Kentucky
member. His salary is $1,000
year; clerk hire 81 200: stationery
S125, mileage $4O0; for trips to his
home and return to Washington
would cost in fare about $3.50. Tele-
grams and express service 500, ard
postage 500 a year. In all $1,000
/ year.
The average Congressman does
lot labor as hard as state legis-
ator. Congress lasts about 80 days
n the year. 1t meets at IL o'clock
loon and sits on an average not more
han four hours a day. In the SEN {
tie nearly all the legislation is done
" ten members. In the house about
wenty five members do all the talk

Eight months had slipped away since

a scandal of its own. And Constance was
the subject of it. Strange that the high
bred, reserved woman should give cause
of it; but she did. For her infatuation
for the illiterate workman, known as Pri-
mus Edes was only too evident to any one
who chose to investigate the matter.
Not that it was considered that she had
been guilty of the least imprudent or rep
rehensible conduct Even her worst de-
tractors did not say that. But for a Gull
tured beautiful woman in the higher walks
of life, whose husband was not known to
be dead, even though she had ordered a
monument to be erected TO his
memory, who had seemed to love
that husband deeply-for such a
woman to care for such a man as Primus
Edes, of doubtful origin. if not of doubtful
character, illterate to a degree. and not
particularly good looking, was quite enough
to set the feminine tongues of GrovedaIe
running, to say nothing of masculine gos-
sips. quite as nimble in the social conclaves
about the blacksmiths forge or the grocery
stores. The object is always the last to

PATVNBROKERS CHARGED
WITH AIDING FRAUDS
Three Men Made Prisoners After
Discovery of Alleged Scheme
of Richard Schobb.

John c. Ertel, POO Massachusetts avenue,
Henry Bloom, 229 East Washington street,
and Leopold Krauss, 800 West Washington
street, were arrested yesterday charged
with violating the pawnbrokers' ordinance.
Ertel and Bloom were taken TO police sta
ton in the morning. while krauss was not
found until in the afternoon. The arrests
result from the previous arrest of Richard
Schobb 116 North New Jersey street, which
disclosed "a new wrinkle in the pawn
broking business. Schobb was disposing of
pawn tickets, which, upon investigation,
did not accurately describe the article they
called for.
The police say that the tickets which
Schobb was dsposing of did not represent
articles which had been pawned, but were
issued by the pawnbrokers in order TO sell
an ordinary article at a good price, while
the purchaser of the ticket would think that
he was getting n bargain. In the case of
Krauss it was found that he had issued
tickets at his place which ran into the tens
of thousands, while the official record of
his pledges as reported at the police station
is less. All three men were released on bail
in the sum of $50
