BRIDE EAGER TO SIGN.
Wanted Name on Register Along
With Prospective Hushand's

When Clerk Kroll Of the marriage IL
cense bureau is dubious as to the age
given by a young woman who appears for
p license he requires her signature to the
application along with that of the pros
pectfve bridegroom. Imagine his sur
prise yesterday afternoon when a pretty
Baltimore belle. who had given her age
hs twenty-three years. sought permission
to sign the application for license being
made by her husband-to-be.
That her signature was not needed and
that her request was unusual was ex-
planned to her by Mr.. Kroll, but when she
seemed put out by the suggestion the af-
Fable clerk handed her the register and
pointing out place directly opposite the
name of the applicant directed her to
sign.
When her name had been written in a
nervous and hesitating manner the clerk
filled out license addressed to Rev. A.
s. Johns, authorizing him to unite in
marriage Joseph Kober, twenty-seven
years old, and Philomena A. Bartusek,
twenty-three. both of Baltimore The
husband, who is in business in the Monu-

MASTERS SWAP VESSELS.
Bugeye Maud S. and Idelia A.
More Change Hands.

Capt. Andrew Kendrick, owner and
master Of the bugeye Maud S.. and Capt.
Billy Gibson, owner and master of the
schooner Idelia A. Moore, took a fancy
to each others vessel, and yesterday got
together and effected an exchange. Capt.
Kendrick is now owner and master of
the Moore and Capt. Gibson's flag floats
from the Maud S.
The Moore. with Capt. Kendrick at the
helm, left here last night for a Mary
land point to load cord wood back to this
city, and the Maud s. was moved from
18th street wharf to an anchorage in the
harbor. Later in the season Capt. Glib
son will put her in service on the river.
The Maud S. registers seventeen net
tons, and was built at Pocomoke City,
Md. in 1888. and halls from Alexandria.
The schooner Idelia A. Moore registers
fifty-two net tons, is 69.5 feet long, and
was built at Somerset county, Md. in
1870. Crisfield, Nd, is her home port,
but it is probable this will be changed to
Alexandria. While the Maud S. has been
in active service. the Moore has been laid
up at anchor in the harbor for several
weeks past.
