Courtship Was Carried on by Slate and Opera Glass--Cops Not Warranted im Interfering. New York, 'Aug. 9.--Frederick Seiler, seventy-eight years old, a veteran "of the civil war, living at 406 First street, Hoboken, has married Miss Minnie Wolff, eighteen years old, of 92 Grand street, Hoboken. Seiler owns about £20,000 worth of real estate and receives a pension of $32 a month from the government: Miss Wolfi's father, who is a blacksmith, objected to the wedding. Seiler"s home is just around the ccr- ner from the Wolff residence and the rear windows of both houses are but a few feet apart. Ever since Seiler's wife died six weeks ago the: old dier has felt lonely, and has spin much time at the window of his hed- room in the rear of the second floor. It was in this way that a flirtation sprang. up between him® and the black- smith's daughter. ? The space between the two houses was too large to' permit of ordinary conversation, so communication be- tween the old man and the young wo- man was established by means of small slates and a pair of opera glass- Everything went along very smoothly until Wolff came up from his forge one day two wecks ago, and found his noonday meal uncooked. He called in! two policemen and asked them to arrést seiler. . The "cops said they didn't feel war- ranted in taking a hand in the mat- ter. The blacksmith "broke the girl' slate and hid her opera glasses, there- By putting a temporary end to the courtship. Meantime Seiler saw a law- ver, who told him that if the girl was willing there were no legal objections to the union. ¢ The two met by appointment and went to Carlstadt, N.J., where they were married by the Rev. F. N. Koh- ler, pastor of the First Preshyterian church in that place. They then re- turned to the Wolff home, and received the blacksmith's blessing. At night a crowd of: small boys serenaded the couple with tin pans. es. JOKING ABOUT ADS. That Adorn the Canadian Arch in London. London, Aug. 9.--The Fimes, review- ing the decorations, has a criticism to make on the Canadian arch, which is the chief feature of the route in Whitehall. It has heen renovated, and fresh inscriptions have been placed on the side facing the Abbey. The great spread lettering, reads: "Can ada, free homes for millions; God bless: the royal family." The Tiles that if the truth were told there no lack of folk"s to speak in tones of sub-acid banter of the uses of advertisement, adding, good humoredly, that the royal family, though, happily: numerous, does not quite amount to millions and isnot at present in want of free homes. Un the other side of the arch there is a scroll with 1ed letters reading @ "Can ada, Great Britain's grainary in war and in- peace."

Aug. 9.--Musolino, the no torious bricand now in prisoy for highway robbery and murder, is the mostgdifficult prisoner the Italian au- thorities have had to deal with in many vears. He constantly resists and assaults his guards. On Saturday he felled the sentinel in front of his cell and walked out. He had to be rough- lv. handled before he was replaced. During the struggle the brigand shouted contintonsly, "Long live Am erica." : The wish on the part of Musolino to go to the Unitea States has become a mania. He discusses it incessantly. WOMAN INVENTOR DEAD. Mrs. French' Was Said to Have Patented 36 Devices.

She was the inventor of thirty-six devices, holding patents for them. The most important was the French burglar peoof lock, from which she got considerable money.

BRYAN COULDN'T SAY NO. How Can Refuse. Mason City. la., Aug. 9.--William Jennings Bryan addressed an audi- ence of over 2,000 at Clear Lake us- sembly, Prior. to his speech, Mr, Bryan, when asked if his position had been correctly reported relafive to his refusal to again become a canlilate for president, said he was not a can- didate in the light of seeking to again lead the party, but if the party should decide that he was the proper man to again head the ticket he could not honorably «ay "No." He believed the money question was still the prominent issue, and the conduct of the Republican administration with the Philippine .question and the trust problems were ° sufficient issues to make the campaign upon. poncie - y Doesn't See He _ Indian Relics Unearthe 1.

The assortment included several spedimens of pottery, bones, evidently used" _ for needles, and also human hones. The most interesting were the tops of two skulls which evidently were the prize of a handy wielder of the sealping. knife. Each had eight small holes bored into it; and were otherwise marked.

New 'York, Aug. 9.--The Tribune's London cable says: The cabinet re- construction exhibits new surprises. Austin Chamberlain succeeds the Mar- quis of Londonderry as postmaster- general, whéreas he had been marked out hy the prophets for the board of trade, where his father first made a reputation, as a cabinet minister. Mr. Chamberlain has been aided by his father's influence, but is a man of marked executive ability. Lord Lon- donderry has not been as good a postmaster-general © as the Duke of Norfolk was, and the change in the department head, will be highly ad- vantageous. The retirement of Lord James Hereford would have oécurred long long ago if he had not been a lgreat favorite in society. Sir Willi- am Hood-Warrond, late chief gov- ernment whip succeeds him, but is not given a seat in the cabinet. The Earl of Dudley succeeds the Earl of Cado- gan, as lord-lieutenant of Ireland, but without a seat in the cabinet, which is given to the chief secretary for Ire- land, George Wyndham. The lord- Heutenancy 'is reduced to a mere orna- mental instead" of a political position. The appointment of the Earl of Dud- ley will' disappoint the Irish people, who were led to expect a member of royalty, in the person of the Duke of Connaught. Lord Londonderry "is ap: pointed president of the council of education, ousting the Duke of Devon- shire; for whom no provision "is an: nounced, while Sir William Anson dis- places the Duke of Devonshire's lieut- enant, Sir* John E. Gorst, as vice- president of the board of education. 1t is believed that Premier Balfour in- tends handing over. to. the Duke of De- vonshire the office of lord privy. seal. The Right Hon. C. T. Ritchie, as confidentially predicted, becomes chan- cellor of the exchequer, the Right Hon. Akers-Douglas, commissioner of works, succeeding him at the home office. Lord Windsor takes Akers-Douglas' place, but, unlike him, without a :eat in cabinet. William Hayes Fisher, a junior of the lord treasury, whose onlv claim consists in having crossed the floor 'of the house one night and en- gaging in diggeuffis with a member of the opposition, is appointed _in Ans- ten Chamberlain's place in the treas- ury. The Earl of Hardwicke as under se- cretary of state for war, displaces Lord: Raglan, Earl Percy, succeeding the Earl of Hardwicke as.-under sec- retary of state for 'India. Hon. Thom- as Cochrane, the colonial secretary's private secretary, ousts the Richt Hon. Jesse Collings, of three 'acres and cow fame, as under secretary of the home department. The remaining appointments include Sir Alexander Ackland-Flcod, as par- liament, secretary of the treasury: Hen rv Forster, as' lord commissioner of treasury and Andrew Bonnaire Law. a native of New: Brunswick," as parlia- mentary Secretary of board of trade.

' New York,' Aug. 9.--The wife of George F: Lyon, jury clerk of the su- preme court and a well known politi cal writer, is in a critical condition in the Va.sar*® Hospital, Poughkeepsie, suffering from ivy poisoning. Mr. and Mrs.. Lyon have heen spend- ing the summer in the vicinity of Mill: brook, which i§. about twenty. miles from. Poughkeepsie. Lyon has a fine bay stallion, and a runabout, and he and his wife have done a great deal of driving. A few days ago they spent a day at Upton Lake, and it was there, it is believed that Mrs. Lyon was poison- ed. She is positive that she did not come in contact with any of the pois- on leaves, and the physicians in the hospital say that the poison may have. been communicated by the wind. Mrs. Lyon's face swelled to twice its natural size and became a reddish purple in color. The flesh about the eves was so swollen that she could scarcely see. Her body was covered with blisters. In spite -of her condition Mr. Lyon took her from a sick bed, bundled hor up in blanke's and drove her "to Poughkeepsie. He covered the twenty miles in less than two hours. The doc- tors pronounce the case one of the worst of its kind they have ever seen. MUST BE DEVELOPED. A 3 The St. Lawrence Ruufe is Key to Situation. Toronto, Aug. 9.--Louis Coste, for merly chief engineer of the department of public works, who accompanied Tarte on his recent trip around lakes, and who Mr. Tarte announced in a speech, at Collingwood, would be the head of the new department of trans- portation on the great lakes,, is in the city. Mr. Coste says he isa firm believer .in the policy Mr. Tarte has inaugurated to make Chicago and Duluth tributary to the Georgian Bay. The key to the sitnation," Mr. Coste considers, is in the St. Lawrence route which he says 'must be developed from Montreal to the sea. On theiGeorgian Bay -qnd the harbors. mst be made deep enough to admit the largest ves- sels which can go through the "Soo" canal. There is no use:im constructing canals twenty-one feetideep and then having harbors so shallow that ships cannot get. into them. The trans shipping facilities at the ports hd the railway service must 'be also put on the best possible basis. WON BY PETERBOROUGH. Captures Banner For Largest In- crease in Membership.
