Returns With a Bride.

l. Stein, the Russian shoemaker,
who left for New York ON December
20, returned to Danville last evening
bringing with him a handsome young
bride.
The present is Mr.. STEMS second
matrimonial venture, his first wife dy-
ing in Danville couple of years ago.
The wedding took place in New York
on last Tuesday evening, the bride be-
ing Miss Annie Miller. Accompanying
the newly welded couple were the lit
tie son and daughter of the groom, who
following his first wife's death lived
with their aunt in New York.
Mr.. STEMS bride like himself, is a
native of Russia, although she has been
in America two years. They knew
each other in Russia and that their
lives should unite in the bond of mat
rimony in strange land after so
many years of separation and trial is
indeed something of a romance.
The groom is very Intelligent
young Hebrew, who fought for num-
Der of years in the Russian army. On
several occasions interviews with him
were printed in these columns and
proved very interesting reading by
reason of his graphic description of
life in the Russian Army and his in
telligent forecast as to the result of
the war, which was found to accord
precisely with facts as they occurred.

Perhaps one Of the cleverest tricks
ever played on Uncle Sans money
marts is credited to Philadelphia wo-
man. She had been engaged with a
gang of counterfeiters and had learned
the secrets of the work. She hired a
room with steam power, and with the
aid of small drills she dug out five and
ten dollar gold pieces, leaving nothing
but very thin outside she'll, This was
effected by drilling through the milled
edge of the coin. She then replaced
the extracted gold with some baser
metal, taking care to preserve the exact
legal weight of the coin, and then Gov
cred up with small bit Of extracted
gold the tiny hole made by the drill
By this ingenious device she extracted
SO worth of gold from every five dollar
gold piece and $3.50 worth of gold from
every ten dollar gold piece that she
handled, 1nd yet the coin remained ap-
parently as before. This device is pro-
nounced to be the most absolutely safe
and clever Of all dishonest practices
that has ever been resorted to In con-

We who complain Of hoops and whip
ping tops and other games played in
the streets, to the annoyance of foot
passengers, may congratulate ourselves
that football Is no longer TO be reck-
oned with these. "In winter" we are
told by an old writer, football is a
useful and charming exercise. 1t is a
leather ball about as big as ones head,
filled with wind" We do not know If
this description is intended to be hu-
morous. This is kicked about from
one to another in the streets by him
that can get at it, and that is all the
art of it," concludes this disparaging
writer, who thinks so little Of our
heads and our games. There is an old
print extant Of football players in the
Strand in 1870, all In hats, coats and
wigs. This sport among the traffic
lends a new significance to the words
Of the Lancashire poet. "To play at log
gets, nine holes or ten pinnes; to try it
out at footballe by the shines" Lon
