Mr.. Henry Dryfuss. father of DR..
Barney Dryfuss, haG not heard of
the marriage. He said he had OPP
posed the marriage on account of
their ages and other reasons. Speak
ing further he said:
my son went from Louisville to
New York to practice his profession.
but the laws of that state require
four years in a medical college. He
had done such fine work in the Lou

threeyears. He was then offerede po

year and held the position for two
years, but refused to keep up that
work longer. On account of the
work he did in Cornell the state ex-
aminer readily granted him a schol-
arship and allowed him to practice in
New York. He is not an instructor
in that university now. We had
thought II best for him to remain in
Cornell but he thought 1t would be
to his interest to enter practice"
DR.. Dryfuss won distinction as a
medical student in Louisville In the
treatment of lockjaw. for which he
was given a medal.

a fire which Is not fire. For example: In the roof of Nachman and Meerticfs store, corner of Dexter Avenue and Perry Street at o'clock yesterday morning. there was not a spark of fire People thought there was a fire and excitement resulted.
 Police Captain Smith and Alderman Sullivan who are as David to Jonathan discovered the light few minutes be- fore o'clock. It was a peculiar Jack o-lantern sort of an illumination. Only by standing exactly within a certain radius, and looking through a small hole in the roof could the light be de- tected. Move a step backwards or a space forwards and the illumination was excluded from view. The light was bright at times and dim at oth- CTS.
 A small crowd gathered and there was speculation. Surely there was something wrong. Lightning might fire might be in its incipency, or a bold burglar man might be trying his hand.
 To be on the safe side. Captain Smith hurried in his buggy to the Madison Avenue station. aroused Captain Grif- filth and took the assistant chief to the scene. Captain Griffith was equally as perplexed as anyone else and. after figuring a while. determined the best thing to do was to call out the aerial truck for an investixation. The truck and its crew, including vawning Jack Cook. lost no time in coming. In about ten minutes after forcing ladders through net work of wires, Captain Smith climbed to the roof. Others went after him but Alderman Sullivan declined to climb.
 They peeped through crack in the cornice work. and discovered the fire to be an incandescent electric light, swinging to and sro from a joisL in the room That was the false alarm. It was real too. because the sleepy firemen had been called out earlier in the night.
 IL was found later that the light had been left burning by mechanic who is working on the interior of the building and has adopted the plan of taking his material through the roof.

No Promoters of Combines Wanted an

 New York. July 2.-W. J. Bryan has informed the men who are preparing the reception for him on his return to this country that he does not desire representatives of the trusts to have any part in the affair. He has caused it to be known that he does not in- tend to have sAe trust brand placed up- on him.
 In a letter to a member of the re- ception committee which is to well come him Mir Bryan set forth decided views as to the character of the com mittee and what form the greeting should take
 It is his understanding. MT. Bryan said in the letter, that several persons who are well known in this country as great financiers and promoters of trusts were on the New York city re- ception committee. and if so the com mittee was not acceptable to him. He said he had not changed his views on the trust question and that it would be inconsistent for those interested now to foster his candidacy because of the more extreme views of his newer radicals.
 Mir. Bryan was careful to make clear that his letter was not intended for publication and that he would write a letter for publication at an early date or as soon as he was notified of the plans of the reception committee.
