STOCKED WAS
EQUAL TO HIM.
Local Man Held HIS Own Against
Willard in Wrestling
Match.

Mike Willard, the wrestler, who is
exhibiting at Sweets theatre, had a
hard time Saturday night when he
tried to down M~arinus Stocked, of the
Danish Sociable A. @. He did not
succeed.
For weeks Willard has had q chal
lenge open to any of the wrestlers of
Perth Amboy, and a week ago, when
Jorgen Hanson put him down and out,
he was not satisfied. Saturday night
Sweets place was crowded. The an
noucement was made that Willard
would throw Stocked. The style was
to be Graeco- Roman, with the strangle
hold barred, tand pin falls only to
count.
Both wrestlers came o1t on the mai
and at first it looked as if Willard,
| who was q gaint compared to Stocked,
would easily throw his opponent. But
the time went by and still they
| struggled. For an hour and forty
minutes this was kept up, each getting
out of a number of difficult holds, and
the bout was finally declared a draw.
Stocked is we'll known to Perth Am
boy wrestlers, having gone on in
several of the preliminaries in Han
sens matches. He is short of stature
but we'll built. He does not know
what it means to give up, unless he il
compelled to do SO by the referee.
In the Danish A. @ wrestling fol
the gold medal, heavy class, he stands
we'll to the head of the list.

SAW 11,ooo WEDDINGS.
Record Of Strange Experiences Pub
Iished by nm English
Parish Clerk.

E. J.. Lupson, of Great Yarmouth,
who has attended over II 900 weddings
as a parish clerk and given away about
1900 brides of ages ranging from Is to
60, has published the title of "Cupid's
Pupils" a record of his experiences,
relating many interesting and quaint
marriage incidents, says the London
Express.
He recalls one marriage that was SOL
emnized eight years after the bans
we're first published. 1t was postponed
from 1873 to 1884.
Among romantic marriages" Mr..
Lupson mentions those of a clergy
mans son to a poor country laborers
daughter, and of the rector of a parish
to the daughter of a farm laborer AZ
years younger than himself. A comely
girl of IS, who married a negro, is re-
ferred to.
A queer wedding party was that in
which the bridegroom was a weak
stripping, the bride six feet high. and
her brother, who accompanied her, a
giant of seven feet six inches, weigh
ing 410 pounds.
Among the brides whom Mr.. Lupson
has given away have been two spin
sters married to dying men, and a
spinster from a workhouse married to
a trap.
Mr.. Lupson recalls the fact that one
Sunday morning the clergyman had TO
publish the bans of So couples. He
tells of quaint blunders by brides and
bridegrooms; of a couple who found
they had not enough to pay the mar
riage fee, and had to postpone the we'd
ding; of a bridegroom who borrowed
money from his friends at the last
moment; and of others who paid the
fees in coppers.
A member of a waiting wedding
party was once found smoking mis-
pipe as he listened attentively to the
prayers of the communion service; and
in another case the bridegroom urged
Mr.. Lupson to tell the clergyman TO
hurry up as he was perishing of cold.
One unworthy bridegroom was so
drunk that he had to see a chemist and
take a long sleep before the clergyman
would unite him to the girl of his
choice.

MOON A LIFELEss WORLD.
Covered with Vast Mountains, But L
without Atmosphere or
, Vegetation.

Children and grown folks, too, like tt
think of the disc the moon presents te
the earth as the smiling face of an ole
man. A little study and a little drawing
upon the imagination easily turns the
full moon into such a face, more or less
closely resembling the pictures of the
moon as shown in children's books. II
requires a more careful observation tc
discern the man in the mCon," with
his bundle of sticks on his back, as he is
seen by the children OF Germany, who are
taught to regard him with fear and awe.
Before Galileo's invention Of the tele-
scope it was not known what caused the
mottled appearance of the moons sur
face. We now know that the surface OF
the moon is diversified with hills ard
valleys and mountains and plains, just
as the earth is, and that it is the shadows
cast by the elevated portions OF the sur
face that cause some parts to appear
darker than others.
The lunar mountains are vastly higher
in proportion than those of the earth
Though the moon is only about one
iftieth the size of the earth, its noun
tains are nearly as high, n at least, be-
ing about four and a half miles high. An
other peculiarly of these mountains is
that so many of them have the form Of
volcanic craters, which no doubt they
really are. So far as can be seen all are
extinct, however. Near the center of the
level floor of these craters, often thou
sands of feet bslow the top of the rim
is a curious peak resembling a little
mountain withiIa mountain. Herodotus
the largest of these ring mountains, has
a diameter of more than % miles, and
its crater is 1000 feet deep. Besides the
giant Plato Herodotus is a mere piemy
for the former is more than three times
as far across and deep.
The moon is a dead world, fossil among
the heavenly bodies. There is apparent
ly no vegetation. no atmosphere, no life
of any kind. Could we stand on her sur
face everything would, in consequence
APPEAR strange and odd. Even at midday
the sky would be studded with stars
but the sky itself would be black. Their
would be no dawn or twilight, for thu
sun would rise and set suddenly ant
sharply, it's two weeks in~tolerable glar'
giving way to another two weeks OF in
tense cold. Everything would be som
Der, colorless, silent; there would be onl.
sharp outlines of light and shade, soft
ened by no gradations such as make tn
earth pleasant ard beautiful.

LIONS N ROSES.
High Esteem by the King
of Beasts.

"a playful lion is a terrible thing.
With even a tap from one of his paws
he can break the neck of a horse" saws
Mr.. Frank Bostock in his recent book,
"The Training of Wild Animals" He
goes on to declare that far more minor
injuries to trainers result from mere
playfulness, awkwardness or misun-
derstanding on the part of their dan
gerous pupils than from vicious in
tention. Even the more serious or
fatal injuries not ~infrequently begin
with an accident, the latent ferocity of
the wild beast being then aroused by
the sight of blood or at the sudden
realization of its power to harm.
OF this power it is the object of
every trainer to keep the animal in
ignorance; and for that reason, as well
as because punishment for an offense
it did not understand would merely
make the creature sulky, no animal is
even punished for an injury which it
infiicts without savage intent.
One trainer who was in the habit of
| greeting his fayorite bear by putting
his face close for a morning caress,
once thoughtlessly did so from without
the cage, instead of waiting to enter
it. Finding the bars prevented as neal
an approach as usual, bruin innocently
extended a great paw and tried tc
draw his friends face closer. Thai
trainer carries a Scared cheek still
and it was long thought he would lose
the sight of an eye; but there was nc
interruption of the affectionate rela-
tons of himself and his pet. The beal
had simply failed to understand that
what would not hurt the tough hide oil
a fellow bear would hurt the skin Of
a man.
During a performance a favorite lion
Young Wallace, in a playful mood once
made a grab at the whip which his
trainer was carelessly tapping against
his boot. The stroke was gentle-fol
a lion-but the terrible curved claws
penetrated both leather and flesh, ant
were caught for a second in the boot
Jerked out again by the startled lion
as 1t felt them held, they inflicted 6
most painful wound. But Wallace was
not even reprimanded.
Perhaps the most curious acciden
was that which befell a oma trainer
who one day thoughtlessly replaced thu
light whip she had been in the habi
of carrying by a bunch of deep ret
roses. Instantly one Of her lion
sprang at them. severely clawing he
face and neck. Any wild animal will
jump for meat, and he mistook the re,
mass for his dinner. She had presenc
of mind enough to toss the dangerou
flowers far from her, when all four O
her lions rushed upon them eagerly. !
few moments of surprised paving an
shifting ensued, passing rapidly to dis
appointment and disgust; then tn
great beasts, without even being OF
dered, climbed leisurely back upo
their pedestals, and were ready fo
their usual act She did not fail to re
main and put them through it, other
wise she could eve have done S
again. She found them quite as docil
as usual, but she never carried rose
among the lions again. 1t is an atten
ton too likely to be misunderstood
The queen of flowers is not appreciate
by the king of beasts.
