A DEAD BRIDEGROOM.
A LIVE WOMAN AND A DEAD MAN
WEDDED AT THE COFFIN'S SK3E.
I once interviewed fbrTbeStmayoimg
woman with bright bine eyas and a, pink
face who had bees "narriaT to a dead
mqn She utood "boidw the coffin in
which the dead man rested, and placed
her right head in. hia rht hand, as her
father stood at the head of the coffin and
read the ceremony and answered for the
voiceless lips in the coffin. That jobbs;
woman is alive today, aad lived at hut
accounts in Elm avenue, Philadelphia.
She formerly lived in New York, bos
after the strange rarmntiy watf to aha
Quaker City and married a track driver.
It is a Ion? story that led up to the cere
mony, and one that required a month's
work, day and night, to thoroughly sift
and demonstrate its truthfulness.
A SCfGCT.AR CEREatONT.
A little over a dozen years ago a scion
of the Polish aristocracy, with rnmn:
connections in Paris, came to New York
to live. He was fairly wealthy at the
time, and later on was joined by his
mother, a tviclow. They lived in a num
ber of New York boarding houses, and at
last put up permanently in one in Wash
ington square. The young man there
met the blue eyed young woman and
fell passionately in love with her. She
was the daughter of the landlady of the
house.
The money of the mother and son be
gan to give out, and they were joined by
an aunt from Paris, whose sole wealth
was in valuablo paintings. The young
man was stricken down with quick con
sumption. As his dying day approached
die father and mother of the young girl
suggested that the young people be mar
ried. The mother and aunt of the young
man acquiesced, but before the ceremony
could be performed he died.
His relatives could not speak Kngliwi,
They were devout members of the Cath
olic church, and were told by the father
and mother of the young- woman that
the laws of the church in this country
permitted a marriage between a dead
man and thair living daughter. The
dead man's relatives at first demurred,
and then acquiesced. A friend of all
the parties who was present at the cere
mony said that the body was in full
evening dress, and was leaned up against
the wall of the parlor, where its picture
was fnkp" before it was put into the
coffin for the ceremony. "There is the
spot," the witness said to me, as she
pointed to a corner in the parlor, '-and
don't I remember distinctly how fright
ened my little daughter was when she
entered the parlor and saw the dead
mnn standing in the corner before the
photographer mm "When the time for
the ceremony arrived a score of people
were clustered in the room, and the bride,
standing beside the coffin, took her dead
lover's hand in hers. Her father, at the
head of the coffin, first addressed the
corpse, 'lias, wilt thou have Fanny to
be thy wedded wife? etc, after the man
ner of the ritual, and, bending down into
the coffin, he uttered a sepulchral Yes,'
for the corpse.
Turning to Fanny, the father said:
TTilt thou have Max for thy wedded
husband? etc, and Fanny, between her
sobs, said 'Yes.' A ring that had been
bought for the occasion was then slipped
on the wedding finger of the young wo
man. All the company then hadenkps
and wine and a wedding jollification.'

The body of that young man now

cathedral in Mulberry street. The
mother of the boy is dead. The aunt
was the Countess Marie de Pruschoffi
Even in the little room in Eldridge
street, where she told me of this strange
ceremony, she looked a veritable grand
dame of France. She was 60 years old,
and her silver hair combed over her fore
head q"H her dignified rnipn were truly
aristocratic. She was in a little room
13 by 12, and was ?iH"g- shirts far a
livelihood. She managed to eke out 93
a week. She had been accustomed to
all the luxuries of life. She spoke of the
dead boy as "my crown, my pride and
my joy."
The mother of the boy was the Coun
tess Betkowska. Max as a boy went to
school with the Dominicans in Paris and
at the Lycee Bonaparte while waiting to
be admitted to the Oratoriens, a learned
religious order.
T1k parents of the girl were Mr. and
Mrs. F. E. Emmertz. They frankl y ad
mitted the marriage, and so did the girl.
(I loved Max very much,'' she said to
me, "and we were betrothed. A mar
riage ceremony was said between us as
he lay in his coffin, I was known as
Mme. de Betkowskafor a longtime after
Max's death. I took his name after the
ceremony, anil want to say tins: That
in the event of the death of his mother

Max's widow." At the time she said
this she was the wife of the Philadelphia

Professor J. & Newberry, of Odaadaa
college. New York, in a recent lecture on
"CoaX the Doaunant Factor in Modern.
History," saidr "Few persons have real
ised the magnitnfle and dignity of the
work coal is doing in the world, and
fewer still have thought that it is really
the sunshine of bygone ages, and that it
has once composed the tissues of various
strange plan fa, some of which are among
the most graceful and beautiful of veg
etable forma,. Buried in the earth or
covered with water, vegetable fiber de
cays or QTJiHaea slowly, forming, in suc
cessive stages of decomposition, peat,
lignite, coal, anthracite, graphite, the
hydro-carbon gases and petroleum. By
regulating and controlling the further
oxidation of these we are able to utilize
the .resulting force as light or heat or
motive power.
"To help you to realise the potency of
this wonderful substance, coaL let me
recall to your memories the measure
ments of the power evolved in its com
bustion. It is I'lttintsfi'il that with the
average engines bow in use, about 1,500,
000 foot pounds are practically evolved
from the combustion of a pound of coal,
and are available in the performance of
any work done. Now, this is about the
power exerted in a day's labor of an
average man. Hence a ton of coal is
capable of yielding an amount of force
equivalent to that of six and two-thirds
men, or of sit men and a well grown boy,
throughout the year. Or, the annual
production of coal in this 'country and
Great Britain is equivalent to a thousand
million men working for a year."

A lady friend takes for atextthestate
ment that a young lady wasrunoverand
killed the other day, and that the horse
received its fright from the ringing of
church bells. She then suggests that the
ringing be stopped, saying that it is un
necessary in these days of costly clocks
and gold watches. Well, perhaps it is,
but when we consider nat so many
tnmgo of the past are being swept aside
in the march of progress we do feel like
clinging to few of the old traditions, and
keeping up some of the customs oar an
cestors inaugurated. Nothing of a clear,
bright Sunday morning gives one half so
much pleasure as the mask: of the bells
of a dozen churches fioatms; out upon
the air. They tell a story of something
better, something of the4 mystical future
that even a sermon cannot impart. But
to return to the frightened horse. Any
thing else migtit liave produced the same
result, for a horse that would take fright
at a church bell ringing would be liable
to run away on a slighter provocation.
This is the first instance of the kind on
record. St. Paul Pioneer Press.

A TRUJILLO BULL FIGHT.
DANGEROUS AND CRUEL SPORT
AMID WILD ENTHUSIASM.
The national sport of these countries,
which ape the customs of. their Spanish
ancestors, is the bull fightr bat in the
skill shown by the professionals the exhi
bitions cannot be compared to those of
Havana, or of larger Mexican towns. Not
having any bull "ng in Trujilk), "
plaza was fenced in an three sides with
heavy oak. the fourth side of the square
being the fronts of a line of houses, whose
occupants, during the continnanrwef the
fight, could not leave their homes with
out stepping out of the front door into

to th Trm4iirwian nia nH hat nlnrfca
oat his time so well that the seductive
game of poker, which he calls "poker,
is never going on when lus desire is to
be in the plaza. The fence was covered
with urchins from miles around, and
many foolhardy "Iadinos," or half
breeds, were daring their acquaintances
to walk arm in arm around the ring
while the enraged animal was being tor
tured by the picadors On two different
occasions during the hour I was watching
the bull twice left his tormentors and
butted through those taking their da ring
promenade, and with such success that
two fouls were killed before the trained
bull fighters could control the bull
DA3GEBOCS RIDE.
Of six bulls but one was deemed
worthy of being killed; but in obedience
to the yells and demands of the specta
tors, the ceremony of saddling and rid
ing the brute had to be done before the
death, which requires what seems at
first the most reckless disregard of dan
ger. A rope is thrown over the bull's
horns, with which he is dragged to tile
fence, his head held close to the ground,
roaring with rage, while a strong saddle
is securely buckled on with two heavy
horsehair girths. The moment this is
done a cowboy, or "vaquero."' jumps
into the saddle, the bull is let loose, and
goes roaring and plunging and bucking
with, rage around the ring. The vaquero
tortures the brute with spiked spurs, -ind
after each contortion or unsuccessful at
tempt to unseat his rider, comes the
spontaneous and deafening applause
from, the spectators; which increases the
animal's rage.
Great agility and strength is necessary,
and the rider fairly takes his life into his
own hands when he springs on the beast.
He is unable to dismount until the bull
is tired out with his tremendous exer
tions, and then he is again dragged to the
fence to be unsaddled. The vaquero I
saw was twenty-five minutes in the sad
dle, and when ready to dismount fell ex
hausted into the arms of his companions,
too weak to walk to his quarters; and it
was his grit and will power only that
prevented him from being thrown, gored
and stamped to death by the infuriated
bull during the last five minutes of the
performance.
When the bull had been enraged to the
satisfaction of all, loud cries came from
every throat for the "matador," who
was no mors than a dark skinned mix
ture of negro and Carib. and a day
laborer in Trujillo. The cries had hardly
died away, when the slight, symmetrical
figure of the matador appeared, frying
the bull on the other side of the ring as
the exhausted picadors retired. He was
dressed in chamois trousers, with a tight
fitting black velvet blouse beautifully
embroidered in gold and silver bullion,
while on his head was the regulation
cocked hat, with black ostrich plumes.
THE ARTISTIC SLAYER,
For an instant the ""if gfyrpd at his
new enemy, who stood bashfully tapping
his leg with his sword as the noise ceased.
The animal seemed to appreciate why
fee matador was there, and with brute
mstinrt rushed on him head down to raise
him on his horns. The suspense was
great as the bull drew near, but not a
muscle of the matador moved. When,
tiw finimafii horns were but two feet
from the motionless man, he quietly
stepped asiqe and planked two spiked
rods, one with each hand, in the animals
shoulders. The bull roared with rage and
plowed up the earth in his efforts to
stop in his fwmffrmg rash, and to return
again to the matador. Three times the
mfuriated bull charged him, and three
times the matador carelessly planted the
two spikes, whenthespectatorsdemanded
the death of the bull The man merely
examined the point of his sword, stepped
aiade-as before, dexterously plunged his
weapon to its hilt between the shoulder
blades until it pierced the heart, anrf thn
animal fell quivering in death at his feet.
The nthtHriasm knew no bounds; men
threw their hats over into the ring, emp
tied their pockets of money, while the
ladies threw their fans, gloves and daintv
handkerchiefs as a tribute to the gHU of
the matador. The common people made
arushacross the fence, and despite his
protestations, the hero of the day was
soon being carried around the ring on
their shoulders amid the applause of hun
dreds of pleaaednativos. Cor.. New York

XjmIt Traveler.
A great deal is said and written tend
ing to show that the gentler sex know as
little about traveling as the sterner sex
know of fashion plates, but it is about
time to call a halt on that proposition.
Traveling by rail has become so common
that there are very few ladies, emigrants
excluded, and among that class the men
know as little as the women, who are
not perfectly capable of taking care of
themselves on a journey of a few hun
dred miles. They are as speedily served
with tickets as the average man, and
more readily disposed of than many of
the latter, and ask fewer questions as to
when the train will depart, where it can
be found, how often they will be com
pelled to change cars, etc The age is
progressive, and in railroad traveling
the ladies are keeping right up with the
procession. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

when they are properly applied to the
individual pupfl. I consider the method
at the Girls' Normal school open to criti
cism. The suits cause the removal of
the ordinary skirts and are much shorter
and of lighter material. The selection
and length of time devoted to the exer
cise is often injudicious, frequently caus
ing fatigue. I know that Class C, No. 3,
is exercised every other Friday for two
consecutive hours, while a number of B
rfassrn had an hoar daily for two weeks.
An ordinary pupil cannot stand such
work as this."
. Dr. Betts: "I consider tha require
ments of the Girls' Normal school, to
gether with the long-hours, as too great
a strain on the health of many of the
pupils. I have frequently noticed that
girls began their work in the fall with
ruddy faces and all the evidences of
good health, and bythe following June
tney lootcea wan and tared and com
plained of poor health."
Simon Gratz: "The doctors who object

know what they are tt"" about. The
weights are of light wood and the motion
is not violent or jerky. The dreawis are
of heavy woolen material and are much
warmer than their ordinary street dresses.
I have never known of a girl complain
ing since the method has been in use.
We use Dio Lewis' system and that proves
that the physicians don't know what they
arc talking about. The scholars like it
and tiie School of Practice scholars, little
0-year-old tots, are especially delighted."
A girl in Class B: "It's absurd to say
that the exercises are too violent. The
force of the movement is not sufficient to
injure a baby. As to the scholars looking
wan and tired,' that is rather due to the
overcrowded condition of the classes and
the lack cf proper ventilation, which we
often experience. The exercises do not
continue for two hours on any occasion,
and our teacher is very considerate of our
ssmfcrt." Philadelphia Times.

dozens of photographers and had never

old, and weighed at "least 200 pounds.

the Stroller. "I am glad of it. Why, it
has got so now that a woman has to get
out a search warrant to find the pocket

at the church. The leader of the meeting
had just finished reading a most affect

of expectant attention till some sister

Ablutions were no good, far the sicken
