A’ bright-faced, trimly built little woman stood out in the cold all the way up town with a brakeman on one of the crowded cars, neither seeming to mind the biting blast that was blowing trom the East river, and both apparently as happy as the conyentional lovers on the conventional garden gate. Upon reaching Forty-seventh stroet tho little lady alighted and the tall uardsman stooped over the gate and issed her, saying softly: ‘‘Good-by, dear, I'll be home lfiJOUI 11 o’clock.” After watching her out of sight, the gentlemanly guardsman, by way of ex- planation to the smiling passengers, said briefly, but none the less impres- sively: ‘‘We were married last Satur- dny. And then lustily called out, “IFifth avenue!” m the regular railroad vernacular. “I hope it will alwayslast,” said one gentleman, l:oml-nntumdhy. And a pretty young lady chirped to another at her side, *‘isn’t he nice?” They Will Never Kiss Again, Two young Kansas City hearts that formerly beat as one are not on that beut now. A rain storm caused it all, says the News. e was visiting her house some time ago and just as they had kissed each other good night so many times that they had to begin all over again to count them he suddenly said: “My! it’s raining! Lend me your ear, plense, for I must hurry home.’’ Without stopping to think she imag- iued that he wanted to borrow her ear for an umbrella, and she slammed the door right straight in his face forever and forever, amen. She was sorry as soon as she had done it, for she afterward interpreted his true meaning. “Ife wanted to make believe whisper to me, and then kiss me again. What shli do? What shli do?” But he was mad. Ho was mad clear through, both ways. Every day after that, as he passed the house, she llattened her nose agaiust the window paue to see if he rally and truly would come back. He saw the nose. Yes, he saw that nose that he had so often kissed as she dodged him, but he was mad, and he S.L. ANDREWS & CO.'S sent her a long letter telling her that she ought to wash her window,for some- body had thrown a piece of meat against it, and it had been there for a week. They will never kiss again. Six Years on a Bridal Trip. Albany (N. Y.) Argus:_ George Sigourney marrie Miss Tmogene Henriques in Buffalo in 1882. Mr. Sigourney is the son of a wealthy Cali- fornian, while Miss Henrique’s parents, though not poor, were only in comfort- able circumstances and lived in a small town near Buffalo. The cards read after marriage: “Mr. and Mrs. Sigour- m,{', at home Thursdays,in Sacramento, Cal., beginning May 10, in the year 1888.” They have been upon one per- etual bridal trip for six years, arriving in New York last Monday. Five days after their marriage they were bound for England. Mr. Sigourney had plenty of money,and going over planned a six years’trip with his young and pretty wife. When they reached London both wrote homo to their parents that they would not be back for six years and Mr. Sigourney made arrange- ments with his banker to_forward their mail wherever they might be. After going through England, Ireland and Scotland they fairly covered every point of interest in France, Germany, Italy, Prussia, Austria and Russia. They visited Greece, Denmark, Rome, Tur- key, China, Japan, sailed along the canal, visited the Canary islands, Borneos New Guinea, Persia, and spent a year traveling through Asia. They went to Australia and from there they went to Africa and thence over to South America. Commencing at Patagonia they traveled north, visit- ing all the principal places in Peru, Chili, Bolivia. Brazil, Argentine Re- public and other countries of South Awmerica and recrossing the Pacific ocean again took up their journey to England by another route. While abroad Mrs. Sigourney became the mother of twin boys and two girls. The twins were born in St. Potersburg, Rus- sia, one of the girls in China and the last in Brazil. Mr. and Mrs. Sigourney never failed in being prescnted to the kings or queens who ruled the countries they visited except in one instance. The American minister failed to get them an audince with his kinglets who ran the civil service reform govern- ment of Japan. Bismarck told them there was only one place in America he wo;zlld like to see and that was Niagara Falls. A Woman with Two Husbands. A Wilkesbarre, Pa., special to the Philadelphia Press says: Samuel R. Jones, a miner and labor agitator at Kingston, was arraigned before Justice Boone on a charge of desertion and non- support preferred by his wife, Annie Jones. Joneshad been paymng atten- tion to another woman, and his wife becoming jealous quarrels were fre- quent, and in the early part of January he gave her a severe beating. On the 18th of the same month he left her and refused to contribute to her squorl. Upon being taken before Justice Boone Jones declared the woman was not his wife, because when he married her she had another husband living. The woman first married & man named McGuire. They lived at Nanticoke for some time and then McGuire left her and went to Colorado. She never heard from him directly. She heard indirectly that he was dead, and about five & ago she married Jones. She aftery heard again indirectly that McGuire was living, but he has never returned to her, even though he has once since, it is known, visited Nanticoke, within a few miles'of her home, and learning that she was marred to another, con- cluded not to disturb her, and returned to his home in the west. Jones was committed to jail for assault and bat- tery, the charge of non-support having heen abandoned. A Remarkable Story From Texas. An Associated press dispateh from (N. M.) says: A remarka- ble story comes from a Mormon settle- mnet in the Luna valley that is vouched for by the federal authorities. Two girls, named Mary Seemer and Saiah Ballon, aged respectively seventeen and sixteen years, became rivals for the affections of a young cowboy nimed ‘Whitman. The latter is a Gentile, and a recent arrival in the settlement. So desperate a phase did the rivalry be- tween the girls assume that they fell to fighting in a tabernacle as a finale to the religious services. They were sep- arated and two days later some men were attracted to the outskirts of the settlement by pistol shots, and_found Miss Ballon lying on the ground seri- ously wounded. The Seemer girl was standing a few feet away with a pistol in her hand. She said they had fought a duel, and that she had hit her rival at the first fire. Two pistols were found, but the wounded woman says she was shot before she had an opportunity to use lher weapon. The wound is not fatal. How They Court in Mexico, San Francisco Examiner: Going along the streets of Mexico city one day I saw a young man flipping his fingers grotesquely, as thoughlpluviu z an imaginary taltoo in the air. 1 looke; all around, but I couldn’t see anything. The next day I saw him at it again, gazing skyward all the time. I went into the hotel, and one of my friends asked me if I had seen that young fel- low yet who was courting that young girl. I fell at once, and looking out I saw a young girl in a third-story window ooking out at him and doing the tattoo also. : Said my friend: ‘“This business has been going on for two years,and neither of them has spoken a word.” It was so. They were courting. That’s the way they do it down there. It was a flirta~ tion, long protracted, but whether the pantomime was translatable into lan- guage, I am unable to say. Romance and Mystary. Mrs. Lawrence Corcoran, of South Orange, New Jersey, is shortly going to London to endeavor to establish her claim to some £300,000 left as the resid- uary estate of a Mrs. Blake. The cir- cumstances of the case are very ro- mantic. In the town of Ballow, county Longford lived Nellie Sheridan, Her beauty captivated General Robert Dud- ley Blake, of the English army, and member of a great and prominent fam- ily. Leaving the army he took Nellie to Scotland and married her. The Blakes disowned himj and thereupon the General, wealthy in his own right, took his bride to America and estab- lished a large millinery business in Mansfield, Ohio. Many years ago he died while in England, leaving all his sions to his wife. . Blake was shunned by the gen- al’s family, and some yecars ago she died childless at South Kensington. She also died intestate. Her wealth would therefore go to her neavest rela- tives. But the difficulty occurrcd as to whom her reclatives were, for although she lived at = Bal- low, it was by no means certai that she was born there. The tration books all over the United ¥ dom have been searched in vain for any record of her birth, while inquiries on alarge scale have also been made in | foreign parts. Some of her acquain- tances allege that she was born at sea, but her maiden name of Sheridan seems to indicate that she was of Irish birth. It was only about half a century ago that the compulsory registration law came into operation, and this may ac- count for the apparent non-registration. Mrs, Lawrence Corcoran, however, alleges that she was a first cousin of Mrs. Blake, and that she can prove it. She says her maiden name was Feeney, and that her native place was Adge ton, County Longford, Two years ago she and her husband were informed that she was heiress to a large sum. The Corcorans were in very poor Davlight Glothing Store. SPECIAL SALE, TO-MORROW, MONDAY, MAY t4th No. 1--100 pairs haircline ALL WOOL PANTS for #2.00 per pair: worth $3.50.

Life. They sat beside tho bright log fire, And watched the flaming embers dart; While love, the rogue, another pyre Did kindle in his heart. And as the parting moments drew, 1t scemed so like a leave of life, He mustered courage and did sue That she would be his wife. But, with a little thoughtful pause, Mid blushes of the deepest pink, She answered: *Not this year—because— You know what folks would think!” A Novel Ceremony. Some years ago, says the Chicago Tribune, when free-love notions were running around loose in New England, a Boston man and woman who had im- bibed of those doctrines until they af- fected to despise all the common con- ventionalities of life came to the con- clusion that they would live together without going through the ceremony of marriage. They had both moved in good society and made no secret of their intention. In fact, they announced itto every one they met. Staid old Boston’s aristocracy was shaken to the depths, . . . The man was prevailed upon to give adinner party, to which were in- vited prominent society people, includ- ing the governor of the state. When dessert was put upon the table the talk became general, and soon turned upon the perverse couple. The man and woman answered every question put to them with the most perfect equanimity. Finally the governor took a hand in the conversa- tion. After asking a few questions,and commenting on the answers thereto, in a calm, judicial manner he turned to the man and asked: ‘Do you, Mr, —, intend to love and cherish this woman as your wife, for good or evil, for better or worse?” ‘“Yes, sir,” answered the man very calmly. ¢And do you, madame, intend to obey this man as your husband, for better or worse, for good or evil?” “I do, sir,” answered the woman po- litely. “Then by the power vested in me as governor of this commonwealth I declare you to be man and wife.” And thus the plans of the couple were frustrated, for which they afterward declared they were heartily thankful. They are now old and respected resi- dents of Chicago. A Gold Hunter's Romance. A Chicago (T11.) Dispatch to the St. Louis Globe says: Michael Sullivan left his home in Ore Hill, Conn., about four years ago to seek his fortune in California. He left behind a wife and one child, a daughter ten years of age. Mr. Sullivan made money rapidly in the golden state and sent frequent re- mittances to his home. About two weeks after leaving home he sent his wife 8500 and told her to come to him. She went to California_with a male rel- ative named Kelley., When she arrived in San I'rancisco no husband was at the station to welcome her. She went to the address given her by Mr, Sullivan and learned that he had suddenly left two weeks before and nothing has been heard from him since. Mrs. Sullivan assisted by Mr. Kelly, instituted a thor- ough search for the missing husband, and advertised liberally, but no tidings of the lost one came. Finally, after months of vain search Mrs. Sullivan de- termined to return home. She pur- chased a ticket to Chicago and on the train between this city and Omaha was robbed of all her money, save a small amount of change. Arrived here, she privations, secured shelter after man, and since then has wm'kmf'\' maintain herself and child, Nothing has been heard of her hus- band until yesterday morning when she received a call from a detective who questioned her, closel He left the house, but shortly afterward returned with a swarthy, bearded man, and hus- band, wife and child were again re- united. It appears that immediately after writing his wife to join him, Mr. Sullivan determined to make a trip to Arizona and inspect some mining property in which he was interested, intending to return to San Francisco in time to meet his wife. At Chandlas he met with a serious accident and a few days afterward brain fever set in, He was confined to his bed three months. When he became convalscent he found his mine had developed wealth and that he was arich man, As soon as he was able he returned to San Fran- cisco only to find that his wife had been there, but had not been seen for several weeks. From that day until yesterday a constant search has been kept up for the missing on Mr. and Mrs. Sulli- van, accompanied by their daughter, departed at once for their old home in the cast. A Romantic Marriage. The Atlanta (Ga) Constitution of a recent issue says: A romantic marriage occurred here at the Woman's Christian home. The bride was Belle Romey, a white woman who was sent to the peni- tentiary for murder. The happy groom was Dick Davis, a white man who wa sent up from Bibb county for three years for manslaughter. It appears that these two met in the penitentiary and loved each other. Several months 0go, through tue efforts of Mrs. Harper, a pardon secured for Miss Romey, and she was brought to Atlanta and ery hard to taken to the woman’s home. All these months Dick has loved Belle, and Sat- urday he was granted a pardon. Mrs. Harper, who has kept a kindly supervision over Belle, wnulb not coun- tenance the marriage until she was con- vinced that Dick was sober and indus- trious, and that he would make a good husband. Investigation showed that he had made a model convict. He is a carpenter by trade, and can support a wife. A BELLE BECOMES A BIGAMIST. Miss Little Marries Both Her Lovers and is Now Withouta Husband. The Gaffney City (S. C.) correspon- dent of the Chicago Times says: This town and surrounding country have been greatly excited ever since the middle of February last over the mar- riage of Miss Florence Little, who was the belle of all the youu% ladies, and was without a rival in the beauty of her features and the spleudor of her magni- cent form, which is fit for an artist’s odel. Miss Florence wasa great flirt, and could not resist a little pastime in this way with any fit specimen of the sterner sex, Mr. Augustus Mintz was her de- voted slave. The course of true love was smooth until Dr. D. Atkinson, of Chester, S. C., came upon the scene and took in the regular features and Juno- like form of the unrivaled belle of Gaffney City. At once he laid his heart and hand and resultant fees of Escula- pius at her feet, and forwith they be- came engaged. This was in November last, and the happy event was post- poned from time to time until the 1st of February last. Just before this day, a friend of Miss Little telegraphed Atkin- son that Miss Little was very ill and confined to her bed, ond that the mar- riage would have to be postponed. The doctor became suspicious and came to this place, and when he got here he found his affianced so well and hearty that she and her other charmer, to-wit, Augustus Mintz, were out in the country driving over hill and down dale behind a spanking team of prancing steeds. This was enough for Atkinson. He took the next train for Chester, con- sidering the engagement at an end. In a day or two he received a letter from Miss Little saying that he had treated her shamefully, and if he had waited until she returned from the ride she would have complied with her part of the agreement. Atkinson paid no at- tention to the letter, and very soon he received other letters from the imme- diate family of Miss Little, saying that Miss Florence was greatly hurt at beinfi jilted by the doctor, and to come an see her at once. Atkinson answered that he had not quite lost his self-respect and would not see her. However, self-respect or no self-respect, he did go, and as soon as he came within personal contact of the siren he succumbed to her wiles and fascinations, and they became engaged again, and on the 12th of February last they were married and left on the train for Columbia and Charleston on the honeymoon trip. Of course, the marriage of our belle oreated a great stir and was heralded far and wide—so far and wide that Mr. Augustus Mintz heard it. Thereupon Mr. Mintz went out in the country, and brought Rev. Mr. Carter to this place, and both made the statement that on the 1st day of February last,when Mintz and Miss Little were out riding, they had been married by Rev. Mr. Carter, and that the marriage was to have been kepta profound secret for two years, until Mintz becamé of age. This startling fact was published in the newspapers, and_while the doctor and bride were regaling themselves at breakfast at tho Charleston hotel the newspaper containing the statement of Mintz was brought in. The bridegroom was quick in discovering that Mintz laid claim to his wife. The paper was passed to Miss Little, and she bitterly denied that she had married Mintz,and said it was a jealous lie he had told on her because she would not marry him, Atkinson believed this statement, and was further confirmed in it when Miss Little left him, saying that she could not consent to live longer with him until the story of Mintz had been proven to be false, Dr. Atkinson then went to work to find out the truth of the double marriage. Ho spent & good deal of money and up to a week ago had not been ablé to get any evidence to corroborate his wife or to prove the denial to be untrue. He was settling down to the belief that Mintz and Carter were liars, when all at once Miss Little confessed to the doctor that she had really been mar- ried to Mintz on the day they were out riding. Atkinson has published a card giv these facts, and ‘“‘earnestly hopes that a generous public and a kind providence will deal lightly with the poor, unfortunate lady.” Mr's. Mintz,as she must now be known, guilty of bigamy, and it i3 1 has been not known whether she be prose- cuted or not. Why she married Atkin- son is not explained. In this state no license is required, and it may be she thought Mintz and Carter would keep silent and the former marriage would never be known. Mintz has brought suit to have the marriage annulled as to himself, and will put Atkinson on the stand to prove his case, So it ap- pears that the double murriage, instead of providing one woman with two hus- bands, has deprived Miss Florence Lit- tle of a husband, and may subject her t0 a criminal prosecution Miss Little, or Mrs, Mintz, is now at her home, and sees no oné but the family CONNUBIALITIES. He floated in at the wave of her hand And tenderly prossed his suit, But all on a sudden he floated out On the wave of her father's bot.

John Half of Georgia, has lately been made whole by marriage. Many a man who gets caught in the mat- rimonial knot regrets that he monkeyed with that lass-so. An aged and wealthy blind man of Atlanta has just led to the altar a beautiful bride, aged eighteen years. A New York scribe says that the type- writer as an invention for catching hus- bands becomes more and more successful everywhere. A young lady of Montgomery county, Vir- ginia, rode forty-two miles on horseback in one day recently to make purchases for her wedding outfit. A McKean county woman eighty-three years old is said to have been married to her fourteenth husband the other day, after hay- ing been divorced thirteen times. A feature of the Cumbertand county (Pa.) agricultural fair this year will be the mar- riage of two couples, who have been proi ised complete housekeeping outfits. A wedding party at Port Huro: Mich., had to wait in the church until the *‘forget- ful groom” could drive like & madman to;the county clerk and procure a marriage license. A man who has lately become prominent in’ Detroit, more especially in police circles, is alleged fo have married twenty-one women at different periods of his enterprising ca- reer. A Kansas man in revenge stole a child of a woman who refused to marry him, and has grown so attached to it that he refuses to give it up to the mother,even under threatof legal procecdings. There is a Bachelors’ club at Millersburg, Ky., of fifty members, and the rule is that when a member marries his late associates shall contribute $10 each to the bride and groom; so that the first one to marry will re- ceive $190. The jury sympathized with Miss Sarah Chellis, aged forty,a school teacher at Water- town, , Who sued a rich farmer of sev- enty-three years for breach of promise of marriage,and awarded her $3,000 for blighted affections, At Albion, N. Y., a wealthy gentleman of seventy years of age is being sued for a breach of promise of marriage by an attrac- tive widow of sixty-three, who thinks that nothing less than $30,000 will repair the dam- age done to her heartstrings. Mrs. O. R. Dye,a young bride of four woeks, attempted suicide at St. Joseph, Mo., by taking morphine. She claimed toat Dye neglected her. This, together with the knowledge that she had married against her parents’ will made her despondent. 1t was a mischievous Boston girl, who, in the marriage service, repeated the clergy- man’s solemn line, ‘“‘Promising to love, honor and obey,” in this novel form: “Promising to - love, honor and be gay.” He wanted to smile, but 'didn’t dare; neither did he insist that she say it right. A notable wedding occurred at Livermore, Ky., recently. G. A. Algood, who is only four feet in height, was married to Miss Min- nie Dewitt of Livia, Ky, who is several inches shorter of stature. Mr. Algood is one of the substantial men of the county and the bride is said to be beautiful and accomplished An 0ld bachelor in Paris esteomed his housemaid so highly that when a young man asked permission to marry her he attempted to stab her. Becoming penitent, he agreed to the marriage and the next morning was found hanging dead. He had written a fow lines to say that he co uld not live without his servant.

A parishioner stood up in St Georgo's churen, Bolton, England, "recently and for- bade the banns of a couple intending to be married. The objector was quietly requested 10 g0 to the vestry at the close of the service, when it was learned that he grounded his opposition on the alleged fact that the man was in debt, and, consequently, not in & posi- tion to be married. A rich North Carolinian recently put his sixteen-year old daughter in charge of a very good young man, 8 divinity student, who promised 1o see her safe to boarding school.
