Found BY the roadside leading
from Johnson Plain to Hyde Park,
last Saturday, two pals of raspber-

fruit trife aged. There were about

and Jennie in holy matrimony. The
Young couple Joined hands and very
solemnly promised :" to love, cherish

anyway. They Immediately started
for Hyde Park, where they took the
cars for New Hampshire, receiving a
shower of rice and kind wishes from
many who had congregated to start

The fire on ODER Hill last Saturday
morning is the main topic of conyer-
sation, at least for a while or until
something else of a more serious ma
ture happens. Between the hours OF
three and four o'clock Parker &
Stearns' sawmill was destroyed by
fire. The question now seriously
discussed is " How did it happen?"
No one appears to know how. 1t is
located within a hundred feet of the
clearinghouse. Wise ones say
spontaneous combustion " did the
business. Others claim the fire start
ed from the little end of a lucifer
match. This makes the third saw
mill that has gone up in flames with
in a few years, all fully insured and
no lumber consumed.

cards that are at present so popular.
In conformity to the orders issued by

moral, obscene or profane, are sent
to the office at Washington and not
to the person addressed. Hundreds
of designs just a trifle "off color"

CHINESE FACES ARE

Fruits of Police Gambling Raid
Fade Away In Court
Farce

NEW YORK, April 24.-The fruits of
the big police raid upon Chinatown, in
which 213 alleged patrons OF fan tan,
pyegow and other gambling games
were hauled into the police stations last
night, faded away in a mystifying fash
ion today when the police attempted
to arraign the Chinese in police court
OF the 21s arraigned only 81 were
held, and In the confusion caused by
the similarity of their faces 3 of the 81
escaped. The rouDdsmen who had
charge of the case declared that half
of the eighty-five Cinnamon who Sc
cured bail last night had not appeared,
but In their places were dummies so
nearly resembling them that IL could
not be told, without close examination,
whether they were the real prisoners
or not. There was nothing to do but
discharge the so-called dummies.
Chow Young, the chief witness in the
many like countenances who were the
men he had seen arrested and who were
not. He was frightened when counsel
for the accused Cinnamon said he had
just received word from Chinatown
that reward of $4,000 had been offered
for the head of Chow Young as in
former on his countrymen. Chow
Young turned pale and conducted the
rest of his testimony with a faltering
voice and frightened demeanor.
