TAKES
NURSE AS
BRIDE
New York Congressman,
Born in This State, Marries
in Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 9-Congress-
mar William Sulzer, one of the active
members of the New York delegation
in the House, is a coy visitor at the
Hotel Traymore, where he is registered
with his bride. a Philadelphia girl. 1t
seems there is something of a romance
in their visit here, as the Congressman
shortly afterward for the state of
matrimonial happiness. The young
woman who is receiving congratula-
tons is the daughter Of Mrs. Max
Rodelheim, of 2129 Gratz street, Phila-
delphia. She came TO the shore on the
same train with the Congressman, and
they went to the parsonage, of. the
fashionable First Presbyterian Church
and enlisted the services of the Rev.
Herbert Gessner, by whom they were
married. Then they went to the Tray
more and registered as "Mr. and Mrs.
Sulzer," and the secret was all over
The bridegroom and bride were con-
graduated by leader Of Tammany Hall,
Charles F. Murphy, who whispered
loud enough for the bride to hear:
"Sulzer, this is the one act in your life
that you will never regret Mr.. Muir
ply was accompanied by Mrs. Murphy,
who kissed the bride.
1t appears that Congressman Sulzer
selected Atlantic City for the nuptials
because he wanted the joy of the ro-
nance of the sea to be a memory Of
the event, and he also selected the Rev.
Mr.. Gessner because the dominic and
himself attended Columbia College to-
gether, the pastor with the intention
of becoming a lawyer, and the lawyer
with the intention of emerging a min
lister. They were born in the city of
Elizabeth. New Jersey, and were boys
together.
The wedding is said to be the culmi-
nation of a hospital meeting. The bride
was his nurse while he was very III.
The Congressman came here with his
nurse to regain his health and decided
to marry.
Mr.. Sulzer has been in Congress-
twelve years, and also served in the
New York Legislature, of which he was
speaker. His mother resides in Eliza
beth. He is A years old.

COAL STOVES ARE
A CURIOSITY.

The life of today is so strenuous that
we hardly realize that the things which
seem commonplace to us would have
been beyond belief to our g~randfathers,
says the Delineator for January.
Spanning the recollection of people
still living, there have been four sue
ceeding eras in which the forces utilized
for light and heat have marked time
for our progress in domestic economy.
On a candle-lighted world, the kerosene
lamp shed its beams in seeming beauti-
full brilllanee. But the kerosene lamp
went back to the Kitchen shelf before
the gas Jet, and now this, too, pales be-
fore the electric light. The coal stove
was hailed as the Improvement of he
age when our forefathers bricked up
their fireplaces. Today in the large
cities it is a curious relic only occasion
ally to be found. Tomorrow the gas
stove that has superseded 1t will have
gone to the dumpheap and the electric
stove will have been installed instead.

of all classes are addicted to. The shoI

seems to have much the same traits
when it becomes a matter of meeting
the sterner sex in social life.
I have known girls to accept the mos

even going so far as to become en-
gagged, and at the same time deliber'
ately fiirt with others when the oppor-

Now imagine any sane girl making
such a confession. and instead of being
ashamed of wounding "John," actually
boasting about it.
A girl and a maj boarded a Central
avenue car at the Four Corners last
night. She was young and pretty. with
a rosy, dlmpled face, and her well-cut
gown and stylish hat gave a touch of
smartness to her appearance. He was
a big, manly fellow, whose every glance
at her spoke volumes of alteration,
They talked of commonplace things for
a while, when finally she said:
II received just the incest letter to-
day from a man ] have seen.'
He looked his surprise, but ventured
no reply, while she continued:
Yes, he's in England. Dad met him
while he was travelling last summer,
and gave him my picture and u adj
dress, with permission to write to me,
and he's been writing to me ever since"
And do you write to him ?" the man
asked with a well-disguised show Of
calmness.
"Of course. 1 do. Why not? Perhaps
I'll never see him, although he says
he's coming here next spring and will
pay us a visit. He described himself to
me in this letter. He's dark and has
blue eyes. weighs $50 pounds and is
five feet two inches. I'm just dying to
see him." she said.
NOW, see mere, replleu ner coin-

that fellow is just ten pounds lighter
thar me, and he's not within five inches
of being as tall as I am, and If you care
anything about his personal appearance

longs, because 1 think I could make
him appear cheap-looking."
That was just what the girl wanted,
but she pretended to be annoyed.

you'd like him, too. He asked me not
to call him mister when 1 write, but

eongratulating itself on the large in

overlooked that nine out OF ten OF

whose arrival in this country is COM
paratively recent. Investigation has
shown that in twenty eight blocks
surrounding the most fashionable and

thirty-scven babies arrived during the

Side, however, with its population
chiefly OF foreign birth, no less than
3l4 babies were born during the same

census is found corroboration OF the

Syity of the city's mothers come
from abroad. 1t is often said that

and towns Of Oregon. Many hundred
thousand of dollars will be invested
IN hard surface payements in Oregon,
outside OF Portland, and during the
present season Portland is doing more
paving than at any time in her history.
A vast area Of Klamath, Harney,
Lake, and Malheur Counties, com
prising some three hundred thousand
acres is to be opened for settlement.
Much capital is behind the enterprise
aud this project must Of necessity at
tract enormous attention to that great
portion OF Oregon, which only needs
improved transportation facilities to
make il one OF the most productive
