Announcements.

interest was that Carlisle has ar
ranged TO give military training to
the boys who come next year. Prof.
c.. S. Major, OF Clemson college, will
have charge OF the work and is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of 1t.
This does not mean that the school

4 Fatal Practical Joke.

joseph Koken. who came 10 his
death by electrocution in the shop
where he worked at Carrollville, nea:
Milwaukee. was the victim OF a prac-
tical joke.
koken was an electrician. He had
started TO cut piece OF pipe with d
saw. and lett his work for a moment
to get a drink OF water. During his
absence a fellow employe placed the
ends of two live wires on the saw.
and when koken took hold Of it to
pick it up the current entered his
body. He was a good-natured man,
as was indicated by his last words.
The joke is on me, boys-turn il
off," But before the current cou!c
be turned off the victims body be-
came rigid. When the fatal flow was
stopped he fell corpse.
Koken was a married man, with
two children depending upon him for
support. The tragedy which cut
short his useful life is typical OF
many that have resulted from the
senseless custom known as practlcal
ioking. Homicide is not funny. Jok-
ing at the risk of pain or harm to
another is a perversion of humor aris-
ing from stupidity or hardness OF
heart. It should not be tolerated
among individuals claiming to be in
telligent. Wisconsin.

Kingdom Gould
To-day;
Parents Surprised
None of His Family Expected
To Be Present at
Ceremony

Unless some change is made in the
plans as announced when the marriage
license was obtained on Saturday,
Kingdom Gould eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Jay Gould, will be mar
ried in the rectory of st. Patrick's Ca
thedral to-day to Miss Annunziata Ca
milla Maria Lucci who formerly was
governess in the Gould household. The
ceremony will be performed by Mon
signor Gherardo Ferranti.
That the marriage announcement came
as a complete surprise to the members
of the Gould family, none of whom. as
far as could be learned, will attend
the wedding, was admitted yesterday
by George Gould, jr., brother OF the
-to-be. II was he also VINO
first revealed that Miss Lucci ever had
been connected with the Gould estab-
lishment. He said that she came there
seven years ago as Italian governess to
his sister, Vivien, but that she had not
been in the employ of the family for
the last three or four years.
Mr.. Gould said that both he and his
father would be prevented from at
tending the wedding by business en-
fragments. When asked if his father
would stop the wedding, he replied:
How can one stop a wedding when
two people want to marry and the
spirit and willingness are there"
"Does your mother approve OF the
match? ?" he was asked.
81 am afraid she was too surprised.
You know, all mothers are disappointed
unless their sons make wonderful
matches"
"Mr. Gould, what do you regard as
wonderful match"
"Oh, to marry some one with some
social and financial standing, ! sup
pose"

I.ucci probably had been drawn to-
gether by their common fondness for
music, art and languages Kingdom
Gould speaks Italian fuently. Yester-
day he called for Miss Lucci at her
home, at 81 East Sixty-second Street,
and the two went motoring together for
several hours in the afternoon. Neither
he nor his father could be located later

Here
In $4,000 Gem
Theft from Girl

Boston, July 1.-The story Of how a
wealthy young woman was forced at
the point of revolver in a fashionable
Boston hotel to give up Sl7,060 worth
of jewelry was disclosed by the police
tonight in announcing the arrest in
New York of DR.. Joseph Homer, a
dentist, on charge of larceny.
The police allege that DR.. Homer
had been paying attention to Miss
Madge Wilbur for several weeks. On
May u, they assert, while taking
luncheon with her at a Boston hotel.
he drew a revolver and forced her to
call up her maid at another hotel, with
an order to bring over Miss Wilbur's
jewelry, which was locked in the hotel
vault.
As the hotel clerk refused to give up
the property without written order,
the police say. Homer compelled Miss
Wilbur TO write an order. The jewelry
was then delivered TO her, and 1t Is
alleged that she turned it over to Ho-
mer. He then disappeared and was not
located until tonight, when word came
that he had been apprehended at a
New York hotel.

Recognition of Union and
Better Wages To Be
Demanded
Will Appeal to P. S. c.
Third Avenue System To Be
Hit First; Company Raises
Mems Pay

Another traction strike to obtain the
recognition of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railway
Employees is brewing. As last year, the
fight will centre on the Third Avenue
system first.
Although union officials were I'M
willing to admit that a strike had been
planned, they said yesterday that Will
lam B. Fitzgerald, who engineered last
years unsuccessful strike, had vastly
strengthened the organization and that
discomfort among employees was gen.
eral.
Louis Fridiger, counsel for the union,
said that demands presently would be
served upon the Third Avenue company,
and it was intimated that these de-
mands, virtually in ultimatum form,
would likewise be laid before the Pub
lie Service Commission.
