Public Wedding Of Two Couples
 In Council Room
Marrying Justice of Fair field Ties Double Knot Twice in Presence of City Officials and Relatives of Cupid's Victims.

That chamber with it's deep walls bedecked with the noble visages of for mer Mayors, the assembly where bright wit and wisdom flows and has flowed from silver tongued orators, and some that "do not profess to be-; the convention hall which has shel- tered politicians, both big and little, some of them never to return, as poli- ticians; where great questions have been debated and where many queer deals have been worked off-the City Hall chamber-was the scene this morning of a double wedding at which Assistant Town Clerk William T. Null lins, the marrying justice of Fairfield county, oficiated.
 Witnessed by most of the City Hall officials and their assistants. who oc- cupied the chamber seats, and with the seats of the Aldermen held down by relatives of the marrying ones, Justice Mullins said the few words which sent two couples into the world to cherish and love each other.''
 Oh, yes, the contracting parties. There was Girolama Scrittiore, 25, a laborer of this city, who took as his wife, Rosina Giordano, 27, homework girl, of this city. Both are natives of Italy. The other couple was John Ursinger, 31, a farmer of Rockville, Conn.,, and Verona 10th, P, a resi-
 
 latter wedding has had her shares of martial woes, being divorced Both are natives of Hungary
 The Italian couple were married first, thus the honor of being the first couple ever to be married in the Bridgeport council chamber goes to them.
 Singuiarly enough both couple ap- peared at the clerks office this morn ing, wanting to be married by Justice Mullins, and demanded that the cere- mony be performed in the council chamber. As there was no reason why it should not, the assembly was thrown open. Justice Mullins is try ing to figure it out why both couple demnaded to be wed in the council chamber. As one party was Italian and the other Hungarian, there does not seem to be a possible pre-arrange- ment. It was just a coincidence.

 These three lawyers formed the committee which reported to Justice Wright that Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison should be. held for con- tempt of court. Wright overruled all illOtlOllS tO OlSilllSS lIl0 ClldTS6, on LQG allegation that this committee was prejudiced.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.

 z "To keep the iron and steel used in building big ships from rustfng," said an engineer, ''is a matter of supreme importance. The admiralty is very particular that every piece shall be painted the moment it is ready for building purposes. But the steel plates form hard black surface, called mill scale,' in the process of manufacture
 This clings tenaciously to the plate, and if it is covered with paint and afterward the plate gets damaged then the scale peels of, taking the paint, with it, and leaving the steel bare. The plate is then liable to rust corrosion, serious danger to the ship. We therefore remove every trace of scale before painting the steel plate. It is put into a bath of dilute hydro chloric acid for a few hours, which loosens the scale. The plate is then brushed with wire brushes and wash ed with hose. This is what we call 'pickling steel "-London Answera

FeatherWeight
 AeropIane At
 Hardware Co.
New Bridgeport Invention on Exhibition at Lyon, Grumman, Manson Go.

A new departure in lighter than air flying paraphernalia has found origi- nal expression in a unique and ori- ginal contrivance invented by J. M. Dohrer of 426 Union avenue, this city. It is so radically different from any, thing heretofore shown that the in- ventor is to be congratulated on hav- ing contrived what would appear to be a piece of mechanism which con- tains some excellent and most prac- tical features in aerial navigation.
 The perfected machine now in course of construction is 32 feet long, 16 feet wide, and feet high. It will be equipped with a ''crossbeam" gas- oline motor, 800 explosion, making 2,500 revolutions per minute. It will con- tain propellors, two for lifting the machine, or lowering as desired, and two for propelling. Instead of the ordinary fan type the propellors claimed to be more powerful. There are two adjustable side planes to as- sist in equilibrium, and a rudder for steering. One of the most novel fea- lures is the "telescopic balance pole" which it is claimed will make the ma chane impervious to air pockets" Another feature is the hot air bag, which is kept filled with hot air from the exhaust and is supposed to give the machine buoyancy, in fact the inventor claims that if an accident should happen to the engine the aero plane would remain in the air long enough to allow the operator time enough to make repairs. The machine is credited with a speed of 50 miles per hour.
 The inventor has spent years in the study of aerial navigation, and exper- imentation and has constructed his apparatus along purely scientific lines and has absolute confidence in it's ul- innate success.

The Antiquity Of Man.

It has been<known during a long time that in western Europe man ex- isted during the glacial epoch We now know that the great ice age con- sisted of different glacial times sepa- rated by interglacial times. In glacial times the snow line dropped 5000 or 1000 feet below it's present level in the Alps, whereas in interglacial times it lay about 1000 feet higher than at present Thus the temperature seems to have been higher in the fnterglaciaI periods than 1t is now. There is abun- dant evidence, in the opinion of Penck, that man existed during the beginning of the last glacial epoch. There is some reason for thinking that at least 10000 years have elapsed since the last glaciation and that the man whose jawbone was found in 1909 near Hef- delberg lived 200, 1000 years ago-scien- tific American.

The One That Chose to Pay.


 Three men had been out on spree, and on the way home late at night they made a wager that the one who did not do as his wife told him should pay for a champagne supper the fol- lowing night.

 Hello, you beauty. That's right knock all the ornaments oS the man telpiecev'
 He knocked them all off. The second returned and on going into his house fell against the piano, whereupon his wife said: ''Go on; get chopper and smash it upv'
 He did SO.
