An Every-Day l:ry——Wadded at the Oounty F' air. ROTHSCHILD Crosbthhn was then United States con- | second wife of © Mr. Savage was sul at that place, says the Indianapolis | the sister of Mr. Pike. The Journal. son married last week was ne day he was conducting a party of A_manomuthtoufh the flnufnll places of interest in the city, and among the places visited was the insane asylum. As the party was going through the wards one of the inmates of _the fnsmw qnn suddenly called outto Mr. Crosby: *'Oh, sir, you are an American, are you not? For God's sake come here and lis- ten to mf story.” Mr. Crosby went to the cell from whence the gl(eous appeal came, and saw before the bars a woman much emaciated but apparently sane. He listened to her story, and, after mak- ing inquiries, set himself to work to pro- cure her release, in which he succeeded after a great deal of trouble. The woman’s story was as follow: She was born in Mobile, Ala., of wealthy parents, and being attractive in appearance she had a number of suitors for her hand in marriage. One day an Italian came to the city. He was haud- some and wrote the prefix count before his name. He soon got himself intro- duced into the best circles of Moblie so- ciety, ana by his pleasing and courte- ous benrlnf became a great favorite smong the Iadies of this place. He bve- came a constant visitor at the house of Miss —, the subject of this story, and |ntlmnc{ befiln to ripen into love on the part of the girl. Her parents did not approve of the match, but the handsome ltalian por- trayed in glowing terms the wealth of his affection for her and the beauties of the lovely Florentine home which he wished her to become the mistressof. At Iast his entreaties were successtul, and the young girl was marricd to the “‘count” secretly. When the girl's parents heard of it they were enraged. Her father refused to have anything to do with her, and, in- stead of giving her the fortune he had intended to be hers, seitled on her a sum of $2,000 a_year. The young couple started for Europe, but it soon became apparent to the wife that her husband was not only not in love with her, but born of the second marriage, and became the husband of the daughter of Mr. Pike by his first marriage. Thus ex-Mayor Savage was Mr. Pike's brother-in-law; ex-Mayor _Savage's daughter, by marry- ing Mr. Pike, became sister-in-law to her own father; Young Joseph Savage, being the son of Mr, Pike's sister, 18 his nephew; being the half-brother of Mr. Pike's first wife, he is also his brother-in- law, and by his marriage last week to Mr. Pike's daughter, became his son-in- 1aw. Thus Mr. Piks {s uncle and brother- to his son-in-law; and the recent bride, Mrs. Joseph W, Savage, is cousin and niece to her husband, and consequently her own aunt.

Chicago Herald: The third day of the annual fair and exposition of the Wlwnn- sin Industrial association at Racine at- tracted the largest attendance seen at the fair grounds thisyear. The sensa- tional feature of the day wasthe mar- ringe of Jabez Beresford and Mary Augusta Weeb, who were wedded at the fair grounds. The nssociation offered a 460 set of furniture to any couple con- senting to be married at the fair, and Beresford and his bethrothed realized their opportunity to achieve fame and a furniture set, at the same time avoiding the customary fee to the parson.

Shortly after reaching Florence the count had three physicians called in and they made an examination of the young girl, much to her surprise and ferror. On the following day a covered wagon came to the door anda she was told to get mside. She tainted, and when .she re- covered she found herself in an insane asylum. There she remained for over two years, until she was found by Mr. Crosby. Meanwmnile the husband, who had caused her incarceration, wrote bome to the l‘zirl's parents that she was very sick and described the expense he was putting himself to in order to take proper care of the girl he loved so well. The father was too proud to allow him to bear the full expense of his daughter’s exvense under the circumstances, and the annual remittances continued to come along. The count puid $500 to the keeper of his wife,and lived in good style on the remaining #$1,500. As soon as the news reached Mobile of the true state of affairs, however, the remittances sud- penly stopped and the young girl was received home with open arms. The count s still living in Florence, but he has to resort to other means of earning a living. Marriage of Actresses. Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat: One of the most celebrated marriages of an actress in the United States was that of Julia Dean. Sho was, about thirty years ago, what Mary Anderson is to-day—the most popular of all women on the stage. She married Dr. Paul Hayne, of South Carolma. He was a son of Senator Hayne, whose great debates with Web- ster are renowned. But he was poor,and the stage career of his wife was not in- terrupted by marriage. They did not live huppily together. She made a Cal- ifornia tour with the most satisfactory results. In 1866 she was divorced,and in 1867 she married James Cooper. She died in the city of New York. Hayne is in San Francisco, prwtic!nfi medicine. Mrs. John Hoey, known as Mrs. Russell, of forty years ago, was, before Miss Kingdon's marriage with Gould, perhaps the wealthiest lady who ever married from the stage. She married John Hoey, now the principal man of the Adams’ express company, the owner of Long Branch and the possessor of great wealth in New York. Love Triumphant. Louisville Courier-Journal: Thomas Lewis and Miss Ida Maupin, residing near Magnolia, i1n Larue county, eloped to Jeffersonville yesterday morning and were married by Justice Lee at Strauss’ hotel. For some time the attentions of Lewis to Miss Mauphin have been objec- tionable to her father. Last Monday Mr. Mauphin was called away from home on business to remain until yester- day. Strict orders were given the girl's mother to keep a close watch on her, aud during the absence of Mr. Mauphin the mother and daughter occupied the same bed. To prevent the younfi lady from slipped away, a stout cord was mghtly attached to the wrist of each. She said she’d stay single but what she'd be married in Trinity, Her sister was married here, and she” would be, too. A southern congressman dropped in here once, and was married off-hand, just as if it was nothing to him. They generall make arrangements before hand with ths head sexton. “What do they give the minister? Oh, $10 for the minister and sexton together. That's the regular fee, but sometimes they give a great deal more. Dr. Dir marries folks sometimes here, but not the stray couples that I've been talking about, No one hears of half the weddings in this church.” ng. A platform was erected, decorated with ovurfireuna and surmounted by a gilded yoke, from which depended two nooses of evergreens. The improvised sanctuary looked like a fancy gallows. Great crowds had gathered around the grand stand in anticipation of the event. Shortly befors 11 a brass band began to play dolorous music of a funeral-march style, and word was passed that the caup‘e was en route. The crowd in- cressed till nearly everybody on the grounds was in the viciniey of the grand stand, trying to get a view of the happy pair. The band relented and changed the tune to a lively airas Jabez and Augusta drove up 1n an open carriage. They were greeted with cheers, and with great self-possession passed in front of the grand stand to the platform, Jabez helped his bride up the steps, and both struck attitudes under the yoke. Miss Webb is a nice-looking young woman, about twenty years old. Sheis a blonde, and has o pleasant face and a neat fig- ure. She was quite prettily dressed in purple velvet and white silk, surmounted by a heliotrope bonnet. She comes from Antioch, [1l. Beresfora is a farmer of Hickory, Lake county, Ill. He has a roowhumorod face, and is prepossessing n appearance. His costume consisted mainly of white kid gloves. The cere- mony was performed by Justice Heyers of Racine, who has only one arm, but he tied the knot as well and quickly as if he had half a dozen. Jabez punctured the final sentence with a kiss on his bride’s cheek—a kies that could be heard all over the f;ruunds. The osculation was the signal for a burst of applause and loud cheers, amid which and the con- gratulations of many well wishers Mr. and Mrs. Beresfora famnped into their carriage aud were driven away. The set of furniture was sent after them, and Jabez and Mary Augusta have the satis- Iaction of knowing their wedding was more largely attended than any ever celebrated in Wisconsin. Beresford told the Herald reporter that he saw the nssociation’s advertisement ina paper, and thought it a good plan to make that muck furniture easily, and as Mary was willing, they volunteered. The Rothsohild Wedding. Paris Correspondence: There have been a number of fashionable marriages in the course of the week, and among the number was one which dragged so long that every one said it was ‘‘high time when it was announced.

The style and titles of the eat heiress_in question are Baron Stephen van Nyevelt, van Haar, van Zuylen, He 1s quite genuine, Belgians are g:nenlly what they look andset up to be. His wealthy bride worships him, and I dare say she will remain satisfled with her bargain. Her relauves are furious, and find fault with her for not having chosen a more intel- Jectual husband.” They forget thatshe was shut out from most things which in- duce a taste for mental superiority. The First Forelgn Wedding in Corea. The Corean correspondent of the Japan Mail writes as follows from Seoul on the 8th of July: The first foreign wedding in Seoul took place July 5, 1887. The parties forming the union were the Rev. D. A. Bunker, one of the teachers in the royal Corean college, established a year ago, and Miss Annie Ellers, physician to her majesty the queen, All the foreign residents of the capital were present,and some of the native officials, 'The pre- sents to the bride were many and various, the richly and beautitully embroidered screens sent by the queen attracting a great deal of attention. Prince Min Yong Ik, who a year ago left for China in such great hasto, ro- turned a short time ago with a few more ideas of reform. One of these is to dress the soldiers according to foreign style, and to do away with the rank of kulso. The kulso is a soldier one grade above the ordinary rank, and attached as a special guard of honor to native officials and foreign legations. There are 3,000 of these in the country, and the idea is to make them serviceable to the govern- ment, rather than to individuals, in case ot necessity. Mayor Who Married Himself. Galignani's Messenger: The tribunal of Sarlat, Dordogne, has just annulled the marriage of the mayor of small com- mune in that district. A few weeks ago the official referred to gave notice of his intention to marry his sister-in-law, a pretty brunette of twenty summers, and it was understood that the deputy mayor would preside at the ceremony. On ar- riving at the Mairie the bride and the bridegroom waited some time, but as the deputy mayor failed to be punctual and the prospectively happy couple had been threatened with™ hostile demonstrations, the mayor thought it would be as well to proceed with his own marriage in pro- pria persona. He got rather flurried,and forgot to go through some of the legal formalities. ~ But all’s well that ends well. The disunited sponses are to be married in a few days. Afternoon Weddings. Chicago Tribune: Afternoon weddings are now of far mere frequent occurrence in England than weddings in the fore- noon, not only among ultra-fashionable {mopln as heretofore, but among society n general.

Marriage of the Pope's Niece. According to the Parnis corrmpondent of The Daily News, the pope's third portunity had been offered for eloping with his sweetheart. A scheme to induce her to intend church near by was con- veyed by Miss Mauphin by a Young lady friend. “The plan worked well, and after the services, or one pretext or another, Mrs. Mauphin was kept up until she was 80 sleepy that when she retired she for- got to take the usual precaution.

Herald: A justice of the peace in Saratoga county recently joined a pair who were so embarrassed that thcy hardly knew what they were doing. The man wore a white straw hat, which he whirled on his finger before the ceremony began. When told to stand up he {umped before the justice with great alacrity. For a few moments he did not know what to do with his hat, but finally found his way out of the dif- ficulty by putting it between his knees. ‘L'his was too much for the bride. With the handle of her parasol she caught the hat, Rullod it from its position, and then, abashed at her audacity, dropped hat and parnsol to the floor. The same justice tells astory of another couple who came to be married. The man was dreadfully puzzled, and with- out realizing the act pulled a cigar from his pocket and began twirling it around.

He was overflowing with joy. His face was conluneld wreathed in smiles which seemed to fill the gloomy oourt- room. She was happy, too—bashfully, surrentitiously happy—and she looke bashfully from behind her stalwart lover's arm, ey wanted to be married. The divorce suit was suspended at once, for the court will stop unmal K marriages to make one at any time. The ceremony was performed. The young man drew out a $5 bill and placed it before the judge. With the brightest smile and a speech as gallant as a Chesterfield could make ho presented it to the bride. The little lady accepted the money, and with o quick, graceful movement she drew the boquet of roses from her bosom and laced it before the judge. With a bow e received the rosebuds, and a few mo=- ments later he returned to the divorce suit, but the sweet odor pervaded the dingy court-room all that day. —— IMPIETIES, ‘The devil will play his Iast card on judg- ment day, but Gabriel will trumpet.

Well, when the excitement over the big wells in the Bradford field began to die out, old Taylor got it into his head that the coun- try needed more oil and that he was the man to discover it. So he started out to look for a location and to lease lands. Pretty soon he struck a site that suited him, and he went to work and leased every bit of land for miles around. He didn’t take any partners, but went it alone, and when he had got all the land that there was to be had he started to drill his first well. He called it Triangle No. 1, for he had an idea that if the first AN A proposed In mi’i' towns Ya kee) tained & very useful feature, Guide, schools of the diffy of nrmdrals In every case, the terms, loca- tion—in which a parent or guardian would desire to know. paced with exceedin, are able to judge, is thoroughly impartial and truthtul. history at Vassar colloge, Is a woman with a future, Hi s of the President,” is the clearest ||wn01'u|»ll that has appeared on that diflicult_ sul Miss Salmon | {mlverm anda feillow of Bryn Mawr col- ege. the ten fellowships opened to competition in that women's collexe are held by the co-educational school. fine-looking blonde, with a clear, open face, for his money.

But when the well was down to about the right depth, along came some Standard Oil fellows and ‘fixed’ the drillers. So they put up a job on old O. P., and, although there was oil, they plugged up the hole so it only showed up for two or three barrels. ‘Then he started in on Triangle No. 2, and had the same game played on him. Triangle N came out just the same. “‘By this time Taylor’s tobacco busi- ness had gone to the dogs and most all kis money was in holes in the ground. But he wasn't discouraged. He started another well, mortgnging his business and disposing of all the real estate he had. ‘I'nat well came in just like the others. ‘Then he pawned his wife's jew- elry and began to bore once more. How he did cuss every time a well came in dry! He was the very worst cusser I ever knew, and the air was bluer than a whetstone when he would open up on his luck, the Standard Oil company and the world in general. “Finally he ran out of funds and couldn’t ‘raise another dollar. Every- body called him a crazv crank, a fool and avervthing else they could think of. But the old man kepton, plugging away by himself. He couldn’t hire any drillers, for he couldn’t pay. The world seemed dead set against him, and he couldn't find a friend who would speak a kind word for kim. His lml;i. curly hair began to get gray, and he had a dejected, worn- out look. His everlasting grit, though, held out, “Finally he wandered to the little town of Richburg, away off the railroad, sur- rounded by the big hills of Allegany county, and there he talked some farmers into believing that there was oil under their lands. He put in his experience, they put in the money, and down went another well. During all these years Taylor had learned a few things, and when the hole began to get down in the neighborhood of third sand he never left the derrick. Every time the sand-pum came up he was there to see what it had. He used to make the drillers shut down nights, and he would screw on a cap over the hole and sleep with his head on it, even though there was snow on the ground. He had made up his mind to have no ‘monkey-work,’and there wasn't any. “"One day in March the drill got into third sand, and when the pump showed up you ought to have seen O. P. dance and swear. It was better than a circus and the happiest moment of his life. The news of the strike quickly spread, and when the well was ready to shoot the little town was filled with thousands of oil men. Taylor was fairly crazy, and after the torpedo had exploded and shown up a gusher of seventy-five bar- rels he was the hero of the occasion. Everything mean that had been said about him was taken back, for the crazy crank wus now a millionaire and had made fortunes for land owners through- out the county. “But O. P. was a millionaire only in expectation. After he had proved that he was right about oil in Allegany county, he had nothing further to keep him up. Hard work had rumea his health, and before he had begun to real- 1z¢ his good fortune he was taken with a hemorrhage and died. The whole county turned out to his funeral and the papers printed tender obituary notices, but merciless creditors swaliowed up what little the old man had left, and the for- tunes made in the New York oil field have gone into strangers’ pockets,” EDUCA AL ‘The new laboratory at Yale.costing $75.000, is nearly finished. 1t was designed by E, 8.
