 Miss Anna Snerkosky of Minors vile, who has been visiting Miss Della Burns of Washington avenue the past six weeks. returned home to- day. Miss Burns accompanied her as far as Newark where she will re- main a week.
 A big celebration took place last evening at the railroad junction near Washington avenue and Lafayette street Although none of the resi- dents were out 10 participate in it. they heard everything that went on but strange to say the event was not a bit enjoyable to them. A similar celebration, or as some would term it. nuisance. has been held in that neighborhood every night for almost a week and the people are thinking of asking the health officer to abate the noise The racket is caused by the trainmen and the engines. The dwellers around the junction say that all night long the blowing of whistles the shouts of the crews, the banging of the cars, the letting off steam, the ringing of bells tthat's alb make such q racket that sleep is out of the question. They think that 1t is near ly time for someone to put an end to the nuisance.
 "A pretty double wedding was solemnized at St Patricks church this morning at o'clock. The con- tracting parties were Miss Nellie c. Lynch. her brother. Dennis E. Lynch of Lafayette street; Joseph Cote of Charles street and Miss Louise Smith of Bridgeport. The ceremony was performed by the Rev Joseph M. Glee- son who also celebrated the nuptiaI mass which followed. Although the hour was early nevertheless numer- ous friends of the couples were at the church and many others were attract ed because the event was so novel. Both couples entered the church to- gether. Miss Lynch and Mir. Cote were the first to be welded and then the pastor united the brother of the first bride and Miss Smith in we'd lock. The brides were attired in white satin dresses of very attractive design and wore white picture hats. After a wedding breakfast the con- pies left for New York and on their return will reside in the block at 24 Lafayette street. Mrs Cote and Mfr Lynch are the daughter and son of MT and Mrs Patrick Lynch of Lafav- cite street who for years have resided In this section. Mir Cote is a popuIar Brooklyn boy. Miss smiths home is In Bridgeport, being a we'll known teacher of that city. As she was mar ried outside of her parish she had to get a dispensafion from her pastor before the ceremony could be per- formed by Father Gleeson.

upon to face big game or an i'm
portant series it is only natural
that they might be a trifle nervous.
The one peculiar feature of this
is that, even though it is conceded
that every player always feels this
way before an important game, the
individual never wants any of his
teammates or fellow players to
know he is in this nervous state.
