WASH DAY AT MALnnRr

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Tuesday is
the popular wash day at the Waldorf
Astoria now that the summer tourists
are passing through town on their
way to their various country homes.
Tourists have learned the trick of the
new electric iron which presses per-
fectly handkerchiefs, hosiery, under
vests, laces-and even corsets-as 7
judge by the display in upper win
doWs of this fashionable hotel. This
iron is attached by convenient long
wire to the socket of any light in the
room through removing the bulb.
Hotel managers are wondering WHY
fuses burn out so frequently, but nv
lady is ahead several dollars a week
by doing small things herself.
These secrets of the toilet are rather
shocking as window decorations. but
we respect economy in our dear
American women.

strange decoration are extremely
proud OF the Disagreement.
The Princess Waldemar of Den
mark has gone so far as to have her
photograph taken with a great Ia
tooed anchor standing out on her
bare arm.
The brains of English hostesses
have been sorely tried during the
past season, owing to the vagaries of
the weather. All entertaining has
had to be arranged from an indoor
standpoint, so that the field has been
very limited.
Some novelties, however, have
been forthcoming, and at least one
amusement is likely to be revealed
next season. This is the Gardening
Tea" to specialize it under a certain
name, for the game is a most elastic
one and has figured in the program
at all hours.
BY means of few flowers and
leaves guests are made to entertain
themselves by their own ignorance.
The drawing room is decorated with
seasonable flowers and leaves, each
different species being numbered.
Each guest is provided with a card,
on which, without consultation, must
be inscribed the name of each speci-
men.
The writer of the card containing
the greatest number of correct an
swers is awarded the prize. The fun
is got out of the lack of botanical
knowledge on the part of the guests,
for beyond a few obvious flowers,
such as the rose and carnation, the
Englishman is woefully ignorant.
Another form of the. same amuse-
ment is to confine the flowers to
roses and to expect your guests to be
able to identify the different varie-
ties Leaf Tea" has also been pop
ular, although identification has
proved more difficult.
There is promise of limerick
season in the autumn, when drawing
room poets will be placed upon their
mettle and genuine brains will be
overweight in the struggle for last
lines.

MARRY IN THE CLOUDS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-So care
fully concealed were the facts that it
was not until yesterday that it be-
came publicly known that Miss Mary
S. Toddhunter, niece of General
Pickett, of confederate army fame,
was recently married ON the summit
of Little Round Top, Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania, to Captain Hiram
Johnson, of the United States wealth
er bureau.
The principals in the wedding had
for some years occupied adjoining
residences at No. 1921 and 1914 Six
teenth street Northwest.
1T was in no sense an elopment, .
said Captain johnson. Il was a del
egate to the convention of the Union
Veteran Legion, and Miss Toddhun~
ter was at the time visiting relatives
in Gettysburg. We simply decided to
be married, and agreed upon the
field of Gettysburg as most appropri-
ate for the ceremony lin view of the
fact that it was on that battlefield
that the uncle of Miss Toddhunter,
now Mrs. johnson, made the most
famous charge in the history of the
civil war.

ADVICE TO POOR PEER.
Friends of Earl of Granard Suggest
Rich Yankee Wife.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The friends of
the Earl of Granard, who has been
made master of horse, are chatting
the popular young peer about his
matrimonial prospects and trying to
persuade him that his only chance
lies in visit to New York.
The earl is as poor as the pro-
verbal church mouse, but he belongs
to an ancient Scotch family which
settled in Ireland three centuries
ago, and he has a good record in
every possible, way.
The Earl of Selton, the last master
of the horse, who is rich man, has
unbeknown to the general public,
presented Lord Granard with his UNI
form, which is now being altered to
suit the new master. 1t is the most
costly and most gorgeous of all court
uniforms, being smothered in the
rich gold lace laid at on the cloth in
beautiful design.
Lord Granard will get a salary of
$4,000 per annum. The post was
recently jeered at by a radical men,
Der of parliament, who wanted to
abolish the Office. AS a matter of
fact, it is the most worrying and
anxious job at court. The master of
the horse has to arrange every de-
tail of the professions and be respon-
sible for all the many departures and
arrivals of royalty
The fashion of tattoeing, inaugu-
rated in society many years ago by
Mrs, CORVALLIS West, then Lady
Randolph Churchill, has insidiously
been making progress in the ranks
of society until nowadays the west
end of London is able to maintain its
own special tattooist.
At one time professors of this
questionable are were confined to the
unsavory purlieus of Poplar and Rat.
Highway, and their customers
were drawn from the floating sea-
faring population, who wished ia
carry an indelible record of the visit
to London.
Today things are altered. In
Southampton Row a man named
South has opened tattooing ''stu-
did," and society keeps him busy
His clients are not only drawn from
the west end of London, but Vienna,
Budapest, Berlin, Paris and many
other most important continental
cities.

SHE SECURED MONEY.
Would Rather Have FaithIess Loves
Friendship.

FONDA, N. Y, Oct. 12.-When the
third trial of the suit of Miss Nellie
O'Reilly, of Elmhurst, L. l., against
Dennis Sweeney, wealthy man of
Amsterdam, was called in the SUI
preme court here today, Miss O'Reilly
arose and said:
Il would rather have his friend
ship than his money" with which
she left the courtroom and abandon
ed the action.
Twice has the young woman been
successful in her suit against Sween-
ey. A jury in Nassau county, where
she lived with her sister,, once gave
her SIS, 900, the case going by de-
fault. 1t was reopened because
Sweeney did not get legal notice to
appear. Tried at Fonda later, Miss
O'Reilly was awarded $4,000, but
this, too, was nullified by reversal.
Now she has voluntarily abandoned
her case.
Miss O'Reilly was choir singer in
Philadelphia, studying for the oper-
attic stage, when, in 1904, she met at
Atlantic City, Dennis Sweeney. fug-
tive from a New York sanitarium,
with nothing but money.
Sweeney had become wealthy from
inventions for the improvement of
sewing machines and from real es-
tate operations, had been adjudged
an incompetent and committed to a
sanitarium. He was past middle age
when he met the choir singer. He
fell SO deeply in love with her that
he forthwith made her presents val
ued at $4,000.
In the following summer he mar
ried Miss Emma Mason of Amster-
dam and SO notified Miss O'Reilly,
who, in her suits, asserted that the
news destroyed her happiness and
health and robbed her of her voice.
Mr.. Sweeney, who was adjudged
sane last year, was in court today.
having come from his summer home
at Pleasant Beach, n. j., to fight the
case. Miss O'Reilly came into court
stunningly garbed. Her sudden ac-
ton was a great surprise.

GRooM's BRILLIANT THOUGHT.
Irate Parent Can Only Kill and They
Would Die Together.

WOulu D1e IOgetner.
NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-Rather
than die together, as they had re-
solved, young Margaretta Magora and
Nicholas Di Napoli determined, much
more sensibly, to brave her fathers
anger and marry. Their thrilling ro-
nance ended happily Saturday when
Mrs. Di Napoli was honorably acquit-
ted of the charge of stealing $3.50
from her father, who was thus foiled,
aha,
Margaretta came to this country
with her father three years ago, :
when she was II years old, and went
to live in Patterson, New Jersey. She
left, under Italy's sunny sky, her
schoolmate and sweetheart, Nicholas
Di Napoli, who followed her to Amer
lea six months ago. He hurried to
Margaretta. Old Magora ordered him
from the house and threateningly
told him he had best leave Patterson.
Magora, his neighbors say, intended
to marry his pretty daughter to a
wealthy man who employs numerous
organ grinders, some with monkeys.
The despairing Nicholas went to
Pittsburg, found good employment,
returned to Patterson week ago AMI
got message to his inamorata. She
slipped out of her fathers house be-
fore sunrise Wednesday morning and
met him at the millrace back of the
Rogers Locomotive Works. He had
two revolvers; they embraced, be-
moaned their fate, mingled their
tears and, at his suggestion, deter
mined to end their lives together.
Then brilliant thought struck Mich
olas:
why should we not marry" he
exclaimed; Eat the worst, your father
will kill us and we will die together"

ANNA GOULD's MAID.
Said to BE Her Adviser on Choice of
Second Husband.

Second Husband.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12-What seem.
ed to give the friends of Nine. Anna
Gould final confirmation of the re-
port that she was about to marry the
Prince de Sagan is this: They learn
ed that Nine. Gould went with De
Sagan one day to call on her former
maid, Aline.
For this devoted woman Nine.
Gould has had the greatest affection.
Since before her marriage to Count
Boni de Castellane Aline has been
her confidante and adviser. 1t is said
that the maid distrusted the count
and advised her mistress to safeguard
her wealth by having a separation
of property" clause in her marriage
contract. This, if true, saved her
millions from the fate of the others
squandered by her titled husband.
1t is related that Count Boni learn
ed that the control of the purse
strlngs by his wife was the doing of
Aline, and that he always detested
her, and that he once dismissed her
on the charge that she had stolen a
diamond ring. This ring, the story
goes, was found by valet in Count
Boni's pocket. The fellow servant
carried it to Aline, who took it to her
mistress, denouncing the plot before
the counts face. The Countess Anna
thereupon insisted that she must not
leave her service and carried the
day.
Count Boni often told his wife that
she relief too much upon Aline's
taste in matters of dress, and he him
self undertook to teach her what to
wear and how to wear it. It is said
that he frequently dressed her for
balls, even to the extent of putting

WEDDINGS BY WHOLESALE.
Over Twenty Thousand Persons Mar
ried at One Time.

The biggest wedding ever known
to history was when Alexander the
Great and over 10000 of his soldiers
took part in a wedding in the court
of Darius, king of Persia, after the
latter's conquest by Alexander.
Twenty thousand two hundred and
two persons were made husbands and
wives in one ceremony.
The facts are these: After con-
quering King Darius, Alexander de-
termined to wed Statiro, daughter of
the conquered king, and issued de-
cree that on that occasion 100 of his
chief officers should marry 100
women from the noblest Persian and
Medean families. He further stipu-
lated that 10000 of his Greek SOL
diers should take to wife 10000
Asiatic women.
For this purpose vast pavilion
was erected, the pillars being sixty
feet high. One hundred gorgeous
chambers adjoined this for the 100
noble bridegrooms, while for the
10000 soldiers an outer court was
inclosed. Outside of this tables were
spread for the multitude.
Each pair had seats and ranged
themselves in semi-circle round the
royal throne. AS it would have taken
several weeks for the few priests to
have married this vast number of
couples had the ceremony been per-
formed in the ordinary way, Alex
ander invented simple way out of
the difficulty. He gave his hand to
Statiro and kissed her, and all the
remaining bridegrooms did the same
to the women beside them, and thus
ended the ceremony that united the
greatest number of people at one
time ever known.
Then occurred a five days festival
which for grandeur and magnificence
never has since been equaled.

CIGARETTE WRECK.
Something on Order Famous Old
French Noyt7s

something on Ofuer ~ falllous Ola
French Novt7s(
NEW YORK, Oct. f2.-Not long
ago there was an exceedingly smart
wedding at Grace church, says Town
Topics, which was accompanied by
more than the usual amount OF gos-
sip because everybody knew that the
beautiful bride had been a nervous
wreck for months preceding the cere-
mony, and they now know that she is
a nervous wreck still, due, for the
most part, to excessive indulgence in
cigarettes, habit formed in New
port, Rode Island, when she was a
very young girl.
Neither she nor her husband has
been seen or heard from by the gen.
eral public since the wedding. They
are supposed to be abroad on their
honeymoon and it is, not generally
known that she is being treated by
specialist in the hope that she may
successfully combat what has become
a really serious and alarming case of
nervous breakdown. This ought to
point moral to some of the girls
who year agos smoked two cigar
cites during rubber at bridge, and
now smoke ten.
ANOTHER CASE.
This case reminds me of another
almost if not equally as serious.
Three years ago girl who lived with
her sister and brother and widowed
mother within the shadow of the
Brick church acquired the cigarette
habit and INDUCED for some months
before her mother suspected. When
she found it out she could do moth
ing. The girl was always very head
strong, did as she pleased and as the
mother is inclined to be rather
broadminded she submitted as grace
fully as possible when the daughter
smoked at the table after dinner.
Later the girls engagement was an
nounced to young man who belong
ed to very strict Princeton Presby-
terrain family. 1t hung ON for year
or more and was broken. Some said
the family of the youth would not put
up with the cigarettes.
After this the girl grew reckless.
She had violent Irritation with an
officer of the Twenty-second regi-
ment, and met him at the armory
several times a week. The maid who
chaperoned the rendezvous had Or
ders to keep close watch, but as
maids will, she grew careless; there
was disagreement and she threaten
ed to tell the girls mother. Then
the girl thought that it were better
not to have any more trouble. Dur
ing all this time there was calling
upon her a young man whose late
father had had a wild and reckless
youth and was prominently identified
in his life with the Rockaway Hunt
club. The young mans grandfather
was a member of a celebrated ship
ping firm of his day. They were mar
ried at the Church of the Incarna-
ton, and three hundred and ninety of
the four hundred guests declared the
bride was very fortunate, and that
her escape was narrow one. She
is great granddaughter of New
Yorker very celebrated at the time of
the civil war, and her people once
lived on the site of what is now Del
monico's restaurant. But she has
by no means become domesticated, as
might have been expected, and she is
as fond of cigarettes as ever she was.

ed Charles NUM-, attorney for Hirt.
"Mr. Hirt, you will tell the court
your side of the case"
1t didn't take Mr.. Hirt long to tell
his side. He briefly explained that
he was married in Denver, December
81, 1906, and that his troubles be-
gan right then and there. He de-
MED the allegations of his wife that
he had placed a knee on her chest
and choked her, and that he had
bitten her arm and been cruel to her
in other ways. Instead, he testified
that his wife had bitten him in the
small of the back so severely that he
was forced to give up his employment
for several weeks; also that she had
flown into rage at the discovery that
she would become a mother and inn
mediately took dangerous methods to
