From Marriage--COmmence-

Pensacola, Fla, June 9.-(SpeciaL)--
One of the most sensational of elope-
ments took place yesterday morning
in the western suburban portions OF
the city when Lawrence Chestnut,
street car motorman, started out to
steal Miss Irene Milstead, who resided
in a town west of this city. Chestnut
took along with him George McNair,
street car conductor. Chestnut had
hired a, spirited horse from one of the
local stables and started out to get
the girl Things went. all right until
the trip home was begun and then the
second runaway match took place.
When about two miles west of the
city the horse became frightened at
some object. Tearing along at break
neck speed, the animal suddenly came
upon a stump. and this threw the
three occupants of the buggy out in a
heap. Not one of them escaped Sc
rious scratches, and the prospective
bridegroom's nose was badly mashed.
McNair's face shot through clump of
bushes, and he lost several inches of
euticle, but this accident did not defer
the marriage. 49,.
Reaching the city, the young people
went to the residence of Justice of the
Peace Landrum, and produced the Ii
cense and were married.

RAT FOUGHT MAN.

A remarkable story of a fight in the
street with an infatuated rat was told
to his friends by Andrew Smith. of
No. 1853 Fifty-seventh street, Brooklyn.
Smith was on his way to Manhattan,
where he is employed, and started to
cross Second avenue, half block from
his home, when he saw a rat also
crossing the street in front of him, but
in diagonal direction. 1t was evident
ly leaving a'stable in the rear of Wege-
Inns grocery store on the corner. 1t
was an unusually large rat.
Smith started after the rat Instead
of making f6s the nearest hole the
animal went leisurely on its way, and
Smith caught up with it just as it was
about to spring up on the curb.
The rat stopped, turned quickly, look
ing for a moment at the man, then
sprang straight at him. At the same
time his foot shot out. The rat made
a curve over his swinging shoe, landed
on his leg below the knee and started
to bite furiously. Smith kicked the
animal off. 1t sprang at him again
and he kicked once more. This time
he struck and the rat was knocked sew
eral yards away. 1t recovered itself
and made another dash at the man.
This time Smith managed to stun the
rat. He killed 1t before it could re-
cover.
Smith then went on his way. Later
he felt his leg pain. On examining it
he found his sock and underwear soak
ed with blood, his trousers torn and
wound in his leg half an inch long,
where the rat had buried his teeth.

SOME USES FOR VINEGAR

Vinegar will keep the hands white

when exposed to the cold air after
washing in hot or soapy water. Be-
fore drying the hands rub over them a
teaspoonful of vinegar and the relief
will be very great.
The toughest beef or chicken can be
made tender and palatable by putting
a good spoonful of cider vinegar in the
pot in which it is boiling, or in the
juice with which it is basted if roast
ing in pan.
One-half pint of vinegar, one table
spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of
cayenne pepper and one pint of boil

In warm weather battle with diluted
vinegar; it is cooling and will make the
skin soft.

RINGS FOR THE ATHLETIC Girl

Curious little finger rings, symbolic.
ing in design the various summer
sports, are worn by athletic girls and
make pretty and appropriate prizes for
golf matches, boat races, etc.
The golf ring is a golf stick twisted
Into circle, the gold is corrugated
to reproduce the heavy, leather-covered
handle, and pearl ball ornaments the
tip.
The rowing ring is light, delicately
made and very pretty. The oar is the
thin, curving spoon oar of the racing
shell.
The hunting ring is a horn twisted
into circle with a fox's head for an
ornament. A riding crop with horses
head is a pretty device also.
None of these rings, says the New

500 FOR AN EGG
OF an East Indian Game-FowI Imported
Into England.


Into England.
Not often does the price of a single
egg climb to 500, but this is what was
offered for each of the eggs of a GER
tain Indian game-hen, which was
brought to England some time ago,
says Country Life in America.
For centuries the Indian Game. or
Azeel Fowls, have been the very apex
OF the game-breed, for the pureness of
blood and pedigree have been most
carefully preserved for so long that the
date of the origin of the race has been
lost in the past.
1t is almost impossible to secure
specimens of the purest blood. for they
are treasured by the Indian sportsmen
at the highest value, and the best
fowls are not allowed to go out of their
native country.
AS game-fowl, they are great fight
ers. Those who have seen them in
India-for the finest birds never reach
our colder climates-tell of their PROV
ess and ungovernable tenacity in bat
tie. With them, it is always victory
or death.
In America, however, the game
fowls are seldom raised for fighting
purposes, but for show, and as pets
ana hobbies of poultry fanciers.

A GRAY REnROOM-

A gray bedroom is a novel idea, yet
very attractive scheme for such a
room is described in an art publication.
The walls were to be treated with a
pale gray satin paper which combines
equally well with gray or white enam-
eled gray, while the rugs in white and
yellow give lightness to the scheme. A
washstand set of yellow ware, a screen
of yellow linen taffeta, clear white cur
tains, and a few brass candlesticks
complete a room as cool and peaceful
as can be pictured.

10 WASH CoLoRED STOCKINGS.

Make strong lather of soap and hot
water, as hot as the hand can bear.
After washing the stockings in this
lather rinse in cold water, with, if the
articles be colored, little salt thrown
in to prevent the colors running. 1t is
very necessary to wiring as much water
out as possible, and then wiring again
in dry towel. Dry Immediately be-
fore fire. The articles must be hung
up, not laid over anything. On no ac-
count must soap itself be rubbed on,
nor, if the article be colored, must it
be allowed to lie about in folds before
drying, for by doing so it will stain
itself.
