The members of the School

time.- The trip was made for
pleasure mainly but Prof. Older

said thin ice is treacherous

the year the water is rather

Makes Desperate Effort to Prevent
Marriage Of Son In Public at Pic

by Business Men.

ST. Louisa public wedding at the
West End Business Mems picnic at
Normandy grove was almost prevent

bridegroom, who tried to pull Justice
Werremeyer of the platform during
the ceremony as a last desperate re-
sort. But he went ahead with the
ceremony and completed 1t.
The principals in the wedding were
John Minstermann and Miss Minnie
Grochhowalski, both of 1904 North
Twelfth street, and the mother is Mrs.
Roberts, who has married a second
time. Her full name was not learned
by Justice Werremeyer or the officers
OF the association.

young man called Justice Werre-
meyer up at noon at his home and
told him the young man was under

and was in the kitchen at the home

seemed to have become as harmless
and tame as house cats. They were
let loose to be pets of the neighbor'
hood. Immediately their jungle tastes
and habits returned.
The first night they cleaned out
native village and ate up something
like a score of inhabitants. In spite
of all the ensuing excitement, the
would-be tiger tanner insisted that the
animals must be captured alive and
returned to the compound; they were
too valuable TO be killed and so the
hunting party was disbanded.
No volunteers came forward, how
ever, to catch the tigers as you do
sheep, or even by putting salt on their
tails. Mr.. Stewart suggested fly pa
per. Hundreds Of sheets were spread
around the lawns. While the anxious
people In the houses were peering out
that night the tigers prowled up, STEP
ping on the sticky fly paper, seemed
very much disconnected when 1t did
not drop off, and that the more they
rubbed around to wipe 1t away the
more they got on.
In a minute or so what might have
been an approaching tragedy was
turned into a burlesque. The tigers
changed from terrors to clowns In
their struggles with the fly paperd
They rolled on the ground to rub II
off and finally became wiggling, howl
ing bundles of paper instead OF fero
cious wild animals.

company wanted to see her, the young
man was for the moment separated
from her. About 100 business men
formed a flying wedge. and with him
in the center proceeded to the plat
form built for the ceremony. On the
way the bride was admitted to the
center OF the wedge.
Mrs. Roberts, perceiving that she
had been fooled, tried in vain to break
into the wedge.
The men in the wedge formed them
selves about the platform to guard 1t.
AS Werremeyer started to pronounce
the ceremony. Mrs. Roberts cried loud
ly: 81 forbid this marriage" but he
paid no heed to her.
Mrs. Roberts got to the edge of the
platform and caught Werremeyer' S
trousers leg in an effort to pull him
off. A man standing near him help
ed brace him, he says, and saved the
day. He shouted the ceremony and
got through with 1t without further In
reference.
The couple dined at the garden and
we're brought in an automobile to st.
Louis hotel. They received 800 for
marrying in public, transportation for
trip to the lakes and a certificate
for furniture for a home on their
return.

"Collar Rot" in Fruit Belt.


The collar rot" a pest with
penchant for apple and fruit trees,
which two weeks ago was reported as
prevalent in orchards In the north
eastern part of the State, has been
reported to State Zoologist Surface
from the South Mountain apple
belt" one of the best known apple
raising sections in the State. The
rot was reported a few days ago from
Franklin county, where orchards in
the vicinity of Waynesboro were at
tackled. The collar rot" which af-
fects the trunks of trees, Is one OF the
worst pests and the hardest to get
rid Of, and DR.. Surface Is much con-
cerned over the reports, for unless
checked the pest will work havoc In
one of the sections which has won
fame as the best apple belt in the
eastern part of the country. He
plans visits to the regions which have
been Infected so as to give first-hand
instruction In methods for eradi0a-
ton and fears that unless something
is done at an early day by the own
ers of large orchards they will suf-
fer. The zoologist says that the best
n.ans of getting rid of the pest Is
to cut out the infected parts and
paint them with some solution. A
study Of infected trees will be made
to obtain more information as to the
bacteria causing the trouble.
