RICH MAN WEDS MANICURE.
And She's Almost 22 , While His Years
Are About 73i
New York , May 15. A story of Cu
pid's activities amid an environment
of barber chairs , bay rum bottles ,
shears , razors and nail files was told
when R. A. Cushnmn of Newark , N. J. ,
came to New York to obtain informa
tion of his sister and found she had
changed her name. She used to be a
manicure in the Hoffman house bar
ber shop , now she Is the wife of
Samuel Barney Wellington , nn ex-
member of the stock exchange , who Is
reputed to be well-to-dof
Florence May Cushman-Welllngton
Is nearly twenty-two years old , her
brother says , thoug. . she does not look
It. Her husband Is seventy-three. She
was graduated from the Notre Dame
convent school In Baltimore two years
ago , and came here to seek her for
tune
After a year as manicure In the Ho-
tei Astor , Miss Cushman was led by
Cupid , in the guise of Fate , to taKe
employment In the Hoffman house.
Her prettlness , quiet manner and big
brown eyes won her many friends.
Those charms led Mr. Wellington ,
when he hastened into the place to
have his finger nails smoothed and
polished one day about three months
ago , to forget his hurry.
It was amazing how much attention
Mr. Wellington's finger nails needed
In the weeks that followed. Strange ,
too , but It did not annoy Miss Gush-
man a bit that her careful work on
those finger ends seemed to have no
permanent effect. Every Job took
'
longer than before. Mr. Wellington
does not look his ago by twenty years
and he was an entertaining talker.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon of
April 27 , Mr. Wellington sat opposite
the brown-gowned Miss Cushman
Just where Cupid was at the moment
no one can tell , but anyway Mr ,
Wellington saidi
"Why can't we get married ? "
Somehow Miss Cushman seemed to
have expected such a remark , but she
said :
"Nonsense ; look at the difference
m our ages. " \
"That's only a minor matter , " re
plied Mr. Wellington' , and to prove It
lie told the orphan girl of his country
home In Yap Hank , L. L ; of his thou
sands of acres of mining land in the
west , and of the many other Interests
that he managed from his office in No.
43 , Exchange place.
An hour afterwards Miss Cushman
and Mr. Wellington were In the city
hall getting a marriage license. They
took a cab to the "Little Church
Around the Corner , " where Dr. Houghton -
ton married them. Mr. Wellington's ;
business affairs would not permit his
leaving the city for a honeymoon at .
once , so the couple went to the Hotel
St. George In Brooklyn , where Miss
Cushman's brother found them.
Mr. Wellington was a widower. .He [
has one son , forty years old.
Nellgh 7 , Valentine 5.
Nellgh , Neb. , May 18. Special to
The News : The high school team of

ternoon and were greeted by the latg-
est crowd yet assembled hero this

season. Final score : Nellgh 7 , Valen
tine 5.
At no stage of the game was there
any indications of the visitors secur
ing a victory over the home boys.
Errors were numerous on both sides ,
an even dozen being recorded by each
team. This nlono had a tendency to
slacken the interest that is usually
taken by the spectators.
A wild throw In the fifth Inning , by
byn
Harrlman , made it possible for Valen
tine to secure their first run. After
tnls inning the visitors bunched their
hits , finding Ncllgh's pitcher for the
tlmo being easy , securing the remain
der of their scores.
Nellgh started the score-getting In
the first Inning and kept It up until
the sixth , when by good pitching on
no part of Stettcr and backed by good
support held the homo team from mak
ing any moro runs. All in nil the bat
tery work of Loth tennis was of a com
mendable nature. The Nellgh con

burial exorcises held over the body of
Herbert Zutz Sunday afternoon. Short
services at the homo of the parents ,
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Zutz , were fol
lowed by the services at. St. Paul Ev.

spite Its largo seating capacity , was
not large enough to accommodate all
who came. The floral offerings were
extensive. Many came from former
classmates of the young man. The
funeral sermon was preached by Rev.
John Witte. The pallbearers were :
Fritz Asmus , Charles Hulac , Roy Hlb
ben , Lester Weaver , Paul Zuelow and
Will Hauptll. Friends were present
from Battle Creek , Hadar and Hosklns

before Police Judge Elsoloy and re
leased on parole until Juno 1 , when
he may be sent to the reform school

a gang of boys whose Ideas run along
dime novel lines and whose depreda
tlons have resulted In appeals to the
police. Storms' father Is said to be
In Cuba. His mother has worked a
the Pacific as a dishwasher. The po
lice are going to keep a more watch
ful eye over boys that have been exer
clscd for some months past and young
Storms' experience should serve as n
warning.
Five cans holding several thousand
young flsh , taken from the state hatcl
cry , were released in this vicinity
Saturday , the streams which wer <
stocked being the Northfork river am
the Spring Branch creek. A call o
speckled trout and another of rainbov
trout were emptied Into the Sprln
Branch near the Burr Taft farm. I
is estimated that 10,000 tiny trou
were released. It Is said that trou
will live In the Spring Branch If the ;
I are not seined out or bothered for a
few years. High muddy water Is nls
liable to kill them. Three cans o
catfish , much larger than the trou
were released In the Northfork rive
near the north bridge. About 2,00 0
flsh were turned loose. An effort wa s
made once before to start a colony o
catfish above the dam but was no
successful. The fish were secured fo
Norfolk on application of Burt Mapes
The cans were left here by Fish Com
mlssioner O'Brien , who was goln
west with the flsh car. Deputy Gam
Warden Donovan helped with the dl
tribution.
