They came to get married, and they wanted to be married by a well known clergyman. That waa a notion of the girl's. They took a cab to the house of the Rev. Dr. MacArthur at 858 West Fifty-seventh street. The house was closed. Then they drove to the house of Dr. W. H. P. Faunce of the Fifth Ave­ nue Baptist church. It is at 2 West Forty-sixth street and was closed. Dr. John R. Paxton's residence is down the same street, across the way, at 51. They went there. It was closed. Next they tried 823 Madison avenue, where Dr. E. Walpole Warren lives. Blinds were down and doors locked tight. They next drove to 842 on the same avenqp. David H. Greer, the famous rector of St. Bar­ tholomew's, lives there when he is at home, but he is not at home. His house was boarded up tight. Then they tried Dr. Hall's beautiful residence at 713 Fifth avenue. They thanked heaven, for it was evidently in­ habited. But»the maid disappointed them by saying that T)r, .Hall had gone to Europe for three weeks. Then the young man looked up 15 more well known clergymen in the directory and drove to each one of their houses. Every one, without exception, was outof town. Then the couple went home and were married by a justice of the peace. The young man thinks New York clergymen ought not to complain of lack of vaca­ tions.--New York Press. i »IK £/ Clairvoyance In BoatMB. • Clairvoyance is the midsummer mad­ ness in Boston. This view is not ad­ mitted. A Boston woman says that in hot weather the next thing to taking off the flesh and sitting in one's bones is to have dealings with the occult. What­ ever phase may be put upon it, in a large circle of people in Boston whose doings are regarded as of consequence, each, has his or her clairvoyant, and women exchange and recommend mediums as they do books or patterns. It is needless to say that although this new diversion is not discussed publicly the very high­ est view is taken of it. Under the shadow of Harvard and Professor James it has a scientific aspect. A woman whot would describe herself as earnest says that in her opinion the medium gets into communication with her higher self--not the medium who most likely lives up back stairs in a di-' sheveled Mother Hubbard and does not necessarily have a higher self. This communion with the visitor's subcon­ sciousness transcends all mind reading. These mediums are consulted in the gravest matters of business and affairs. In one case a rich man had died, and his will could not be found. A clairvoyant was consulted, who said he had gone into his grave with the will in his coat- tail pocket. The body was exhumed, and sure enough the man had his will with him.--New York Evening Sun. Having Isased tbe shop of P.

When the typhoid fever epidemic was at its height, when cases were .being re­ ported daily and everybody expected that there would be many deaths from the disease, one local flower firm decided to make a speculation on death. It was figured out that there would be an un­ usual number of deaths and that this would cause a demand for an unusual number of floral pieces. In the manu­ facture of floral pieces moss is an abso­ lute ncccssity, and the peculiar kind that is used comes from Oregon and Wash­ ington. The firm in question thought to make a speculation by ordering a quan­ tity of this moss early and running a corner in it. The moss has arrived and has been placed in storage. But out of all the cases of typhoid fever the deaths have numbered less than 25, and there is one firm that has moss enough on 'hand for several years.--San Francisco Examiner. The Largest Cargo of Hay. When the British bark Kelverdale sails' for Havre from Baltimore, she will carry the largest full cargp of hay yet shipped from this country to Europe. The only other full cargo of hay shipped previous­ ly was carried by the German ship Frei­ burg from New York to Havre, and con­ sisted of 400 tons. The Baltimore Ship­ ping company has chartered the Kelver­ dale to carry 600 tons. The company has also chartered the British steamship Sir William Armstrong to load 500 tons of hay for Havre.--Baltimore Sun. Why Do They Kmploy Such Trlcks7 Some of the New York dailies are try­ ing to make a farce of journalism. One of them prints a couple of unnamed pic­ tures, one of a society belle and the other of a factory girl, and asks its readers to guess from the portraits which is which. Another New York paper invites. Chris­ tian people to send in their replies to the question, "Has God answered your pray­ ers?" and to relate their experiences in this direction. The silly season is at its height in some of the New York news­ paper offices.--Rochester Herald. The Missouri's Current. The current in the Missouri river is at times something remarkable. For a week past the river at its mouth has been a raging maelstrom, and so swift, that several steamboats were tied up at the mouth waiting for it to subside. The government steamboat Stone tried sev­ eral times to breast the terrible current, but each time was swept back into the Mississippi, and only succeeded in mak­ ing the ascent at all when the Mississippi rose and checked the velocity of the Big Mudd^pr-Alton Sentinel. There were great rejoicings among the pupils of M. Benjamin Constant upon lift election to a membership in the French academy. A reception was given him at one studio by the men there, and a triumphal arch of roses and laurels was erected by his girl pupils in his studio in the Passage des Panoramas. Ufe Gnas For Firemen. Had the fire department been equipped with apparatus for throwing ropes to great heights or distances, such as are carried by all life saving stations, many lives could have been saved from the flames at the cold storage fire. Every man who escaped alive did so by a flim­ sy rope. With a proper gun or cannon a rope or numbers of them could have been shot up over the tower and made fast by the imprisoned men. The ropes can be rendered noncombustible. No new or expensive machinery would be required. At the li|o saving station at Jackson park could have been found huge guns with endless coils of lifeline attached. The guns fir© a heavy spear, which carrie# the lifeline Out to wrecks, helpless boats and drowning men. Twen­ ty such lifelines could have been fired up and over the burning tower. Every shot of the gun would hare saved the life of a brave fireman. • With the high buildings in the bud- ness center such apparatus would be most valuable and could be carried on every hose cart. Individuals imprisoned in the tenth story, cut off from all es­ cape, could be saved. A lance could be shot into the window and the rope made fast. Nothing would be easier. If the gun, the lance and the rope are good to save lives at sea, why not use fireproof ropes to save men from death by nre?-- Chicago Globe. Spoiling the Administration Bmlldlag. The beauty of the Administration building rotunda is being marred slowly but surely. First came a guidebook stand; then cigar and tobacco showcases obtained a footing, and last, but not least, is. the alleged model of the treasury building at Washington, which is being constructed of pine, blue cheese cloth and Columbian half dollars. The wooden base on which the coins are being glued is extremely inartistic itself, but the man who made it evident­ ly failed to take into consideration the size of the half dollars, and the coins are being cut into all sorts of shapes and de­ faced in every conceivable manner to make them fit and hide the lumber. There are 840 windows in the thing, and each window represents at least five mutilated coins, entailing a loss of $1,- 700. To make all the edges and corners of the porticoes, verandas and cornices straight will necessitate the spoiling of 2,000 more coins. The whole thing, from the coarse iron fence to the tin window frames, is an eyesore, and none is quicker to recog­ nize this fact than the visitors from the country, for whose delectation the thing is being built.--Chicago Tribune. Reunited After Twenty-one Tears. After a separation lasting 21 years, John H. Morrison and his wife have been reunited. In 1865 Squire Morrison wedded Miss Fry in York county and five years later came here to reside. He remained here for two gears, and, meeting business reverses, went west, leaving his wife and four daughters here, and nothing was heard of him nntil last March, when an advertisement for a wife appeared in a Harrisburg paper signed John H. Morrison. It was seen by one of his daughters. She answered it. Morrison received 617 answers to his advertisement, but replied only to the one written by his daughter. In Ihe correspondence that followed their rela­ tionship was disclosed, and when he learned his wife was still living he made arrangements to take her to his we»teru home. A letter received states that they recognized each other on sight at the railway station in Oklahoma.™Laac8fiter Cor. Philadelphia Record. -T7! Efftoct of a Sentimental Song. Mr. Whitebread is a tinsmith in Weaverville. His wife's name is Ann. and Ann and the tinsmith have never got along very well together. Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Whitebread, so the story goes, became quite chummy. There was a piano in the tinsmith's house, and Mrs. Martin was in the habit of playing "The Old Oaken Bucket." The man of solder rather liked it at first. But when Mrs. Martin continued to thrum out the same tune day after day it got kind of tiresome. He remonstrated with Ann, but the wife told him to mind his pots and kettles and not to meddle with music. One day the tinsmith lost all patience and went up stairs, and after dancing a jig on the keys wound up* by smwliing the instrument all to pieces, ending the performance by remarking, "To ---- with your 'Old Oaken Bucke|.*#~$an Francisco Examiner. » Bad Boys at Asburjr.
