BECOMES BRIDE after
PHONE INTRODUCTION
TheatGr Party eliminates In
Bachelor Girls Marriage.

Observation-Disclosures may be the status
of the telephone introduction in books
of tiquette-formal, informal or dis
tinctly bohemian-it has led to at least
one recent betrOthal and marriage in
high social circles. Recently Alfred
Borden, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer
Borden of Fall River, was content with
his bachelorhOOd.
That was before he had heard over
the wire the sweet voice of Miss Susan
B. Ellis of Surrey, England.
He came to hear it in this way: One
night he had "called up from his
fathers cotton mills his friend, Mrs.
Humphreys, and asked her to go with
him to a theater Mrs Humphreys had
a headache, or previous engagement,
or something of equal Importance. and
couldn't go.
1t was pity, though, to leave Mr..
Borden prey to the ennui of q lonely
bachelor evening, and then the seats
too! Mrs. Humphreys would do her
best to fix it.
Not many moments later Mr.. Borden
was being introduced through the re-
ceiver to Mrs. Humphreys sister, Miss
Ellis, whom Mr.. Borden had. strangely
enough, never met, in spite of her sue
cess as ''the bachelor girl of South
ampton, n. Y, last summer.
To make long story short, Miss
Ellis and Mr. Borden went to the thea
ter, taking Cupid along as Il supercargo
in the taxi The little fellow did the
work well. Only few weeks later
their engagement was announced, and
the couple were married in the chapel
of St Georges church. Stuyvesant
square, New York.
The brides father was present, hav-
ing come over from England for the
ceremony. After their wedding trip
Mr.. and Mrs Borden will live at Short
Hills. n J,

FARMERS LOT MADE HARDER
Mail by Motor Comes In Night Mostly.
Curiosity Can't Wait.

Washington. Motorcars on rural
mail routes do not make a hit with
farmers, according to Representative
Gray Of Indiana, who made vigorous
kick against the innovation in the
house.
''The barking of the farm dog in the
middle of the night instead Of the
growing Of the cock is now the signal
that the postman has arrived" Mr..
Gray said Indignantly, "and the poor
farmer is forced to go out with Ian
tern to see what has happened to his
mail box"

TREATS SON FOR RABIES.
Paterson Physician Rushed to Parent
In Chicago For Aid.

Paterson. n. J.-Believing he was de-
veloping symptoms of hydrophobia, Dr.
Francois Was of 70 East Eighteenth
street, Paterson, widely known for his
treatment Of hydrophobia cases, left
for Chicago, wherS he is being treated
for prevention of Che dreaded disease
by his father, DR.. Juan Was, an emf
nent physician and surgeon of that
city.
Whether Dr. Was became infected
While attending patients or through a
laceration Of his right leg by a dog
which bit him while he was On a call
at FairlaWn several weeks ago is a
matter of conjecture. The dog attack
ed his sister, Miss Huberdyn Was, who
accompanied him. The physician saved
her. but was himself bitten.

CORPSE SPOKE TO THEM.
"Say! What Do You Want?" Sup
posed Dead Person Demanded.

Omaha, Neb.-CorOner's assistants
were preparing to place Sam Larson in
the dead basket" and carry him away
TO the undertaking parlors. A telephone
report had Informed the officials that
Sam was dead. Suddenly the corpse
stirred and then sat up.
''Say, what do you fellows want?'
'it' demanded in an aggrieved tone.
Sam was sent to the charity Organi-
cation instead of to the undertakers.
When nothing was seen of Sam, who
is seventy-fve years old, for several
days an investigation was made. He
was found unconscious, and it was be-
lieved that he was dead.

Bride Finds Wealth In Attic.

Point Pleasant, Va.-While rummag-
ing in the attic of her home the day
following her recent marriage at Ev-
ans, near here, Mrs. John Board found
$500 in gold and many thousands in
currency. The paper was folded to-
gether so the bills could not be sepa-
rated. They were sent to the United
States treasury department to be
counted. The hoard was concealed un-
der the floor Of the attic.

water this time of year, especially
when one has not had bath in more
than twenty years.

quantity of oil marketed during 1918,
as shown by a preliminary statement
issued by the United States geologi-
cal survey on petroleum production, is
accounted for IN the continued output
in large quantities from the Cushing
field during the first half of the year,
and from the Humble pool in Texas
during the entire year, as well as by
the discovery and rapid development
of new pools in Texas and Louisiana.
The department estimates the 1913
output at 276,4OO,OOO barrels, an in
crease of 1,63S,OOO. compared with
1914. Nearly all oil producing states
save Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma
show falling off IN production. Cali
fornia produced 89,000,0OO barrels, or
100000 less than in 1914. Okla
homa's record is 8O,O0O,OOO barrels, an
increase of more than 100000 bar,
reIs. The production of Texas is
placed at 26,0OO,O00 barrels, an in
crease of nearly 100000, while Louis
lana fields brought in 18,5OO,OOO bar
rels, 4,200,0O0 barrels increase.
