| SOUTH AMBOY ? ATTENDED WEDDING. Mrs. Herman Kollisch And Daughter Go To Atlantic Highlands. Mrs. Herman Kollisch and daught er, Mrs. Rubenstein, attended a very beantifal wedding at Atlantio High lands, Thursday 2.80 p. m. Miss Carrie Gelhouse and Mr. Oharles White, both of Atlantio High lands, were unifed in marriage at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Charles Gelhouse by Rev. Mr. Paine, pastor of the Presbyterian oliuroh in that place. The bride was handsomely attired in white chiffon over white silk, heavily trimmed with elegant lace, and looked very beautiful. She car ried a bouquet of roses. The groom was attired in conventional black. There were no attendants. As the bride descended the stairs and entered the parlor the musicians, who were from Red Bank, struck up Ijohengrin's "Here ooaes the bride." It was almost like a'soene of enchant ment with the sweet strains of music aad the parlor turned into a veritable flower garden, being banked witlr flowers, from which the air was delio ionslv scented. After the ceremony was performed a snmptuous full oourse dinner was ?erred by a caterer with a full corps of waiters. The ice oream was in the form of froits_and colored to repre sent the different kinds with leaves - aadT stems attached. During the din ner the musioians discoursed the sweetest mnsic and as the bride and groom passed out they played Mendels sohn's maroh. The happy couple left on the 4,17 train from the Highlands, for a wedding trip, midst showers of rioe, some of which was showered on some of the guests as well. The bride wore an elegant dark blue broadoloth travelling dress and white picture hat trimmed with'a mass' of leaves. She is a cousin to Salz & Steiner, mer chants in Perth Amboy. Injured On Docks.

Apropos of modesty in politics, Al len told a story one day of an aspir ing citizen in Mississippi who used to quote grandiloquently the familiar saying: "The office should seek the man, not the man the office."

"In the pioneer days of Alaska," said Capt. J. S. Criter, an Alaskan pioneer, "San Francisco was the first place the natives ever heard of as associated with untold wonders. The person who had' been to 'Fri6co and back became the greatest man alive in the Siwash esti mation. It was the ambition of every Indian, particularly the young men, to go to 'Frisco," says the i\ew York Sun. "One time two missionaries got into a quarrel at Xualato, and one killed the other. At, that time people had to be taken to San Francisco for trial, unJ this missionary was arrested promptly and sent down there. Among the witnesses who were taken along was a young Siwash Indian. "When he came back he was, of course, the lion of all the Indians in that district, and he made their un sophisticated eyes bulge, and aroused envy in every native breast by the tales he told of what he had seen at 'Frisco. One young Indian bet?aine so enthu siastic that after thinking the matter over, he decided to go to 'Frisco him se/f. " 'Me go to 'Frisco,' he took to de claring on every occasion. "Not-long' afterward this Indian way laid and killed a white man near Cen tral City. He made no secret of it, and a delegation of miners took him into custody. " 'You kill white man?' he was asked. "'Oh, yes! Me kill white man!' the Indian replied, eagerly. "'Why?' they asked him. " 'Oh, me kill white man; me go to 'Frisco!' he replied. "That was all. The missionary had killed a man ancH.hey had taken him to 'Frisco, so this Indian had simply killed his man so they would take him to 'Frisco. "The miners concluded, though, that to take the Indian to 'Frisco would es tablish rather a dangerous precedent in that country just then, so they took him out in a boat one night and dis posed of him otherwise. No Indian ever killed a man in Alaska again with the object in view of getting a trip to 'Frisco." A Fair Exchans*. "I don't think they ought to prose cute that farmer found making coun terfeit dollars." "Why not?" "Why, undoubtedly he was merely getting ready to go to the city and buy some gold bricks.

Carveil Over Four Centnrlea Agv. One of the curiosities of all ages ia built in the wall of the cathedral in the City of Mexico. It is the Aztec calendar, carved in 1512. While being carted to its destination it broke down a bridge and fell to* the bottom of the lake in which the city was built, kill ing priests and people. With great difficulty it was raised out of the wa ter. With other objects of heathen worship it was aftefward buried In the marsh, as the best way to get rid of it, and there it lay hidden for two cen turies. In 1790 the Spanish viceroy al lowed it to. be built into the cathedral on condition that it should be pre served and exposed always in a public place. It is now. however, held as the property of the National museum, says the New York Press. The'Aztec calendar is a Kolid piece of stone, 12 feet in diameter. It divides time into cycles, yeais and days. Fifty two years constitute a cycle; the year 365 days, with five intercalary days wholly devoted to human sacrifices. Each year had 18 months of "0 days each, and each month four wteks of five days each. The days had such names as Sea Animal, Small I'ird, Monkey, Rain, etc., and each of tho 20 days had a different name. The points of the compass were named Heed, House, Flint and Rabbit, instead of east, west, north and south. When an Aztec said: "I am going House on Sea Animal," he meant that he was start ing west on Monday. Thet month ot March was called Victims- Flayed Alive, while July's title was Garlands of Corn on the necks of Idols. The IVot Uneaaed JtJffhl. "Now, Johnny, can you tell me who built the ark?"

LOVE FOUND A WAY. Rethvar Engineer's Sweetheart Gets a Bouquet to Him with Dis astrous Result. There, is a saying' that "Love will find a way," but whether the way is al ways a good one seems a little doubt {jri. On one of the trains running be tween Kansas City and St. Louis is a young fireman named Blackmar. Sometimes, says the Kansas City Jour nal, he is compelled to stop over in Kansas City, and when several days passed and he failed to put in an ap pearance the mistress of the boarding house asked about him. "He's in thie hospital," said the man who runs the engine and rides in the cab with Blackmar. "Down in the rail road hospital, you know." Of course every one sighed and awaited an explanation. "Well," the engineer began, "he's got a sweetheart, and she presented him with a bouquet, and the bouquet did the rest. "HaJf-way across the state, just out side of Moberly, the girl used to stand by her fence and wave her sunbonnet at him. That was in the spring. In the summer, when the garden^ back of the fence began to bloom, the girl used to make bouquets, and when the train sped by she used1 to throw them at the engine cab. Of course she always missed, but she kept on trying. "It seemed to hurt young Blackmar to have the posies crushed under the wheels, and one Sunday, when he went calling on lit . they fixed up a plan. "The next day, when the train went by. the girl had her bouquet fastened to a long fishing-pote. She thrust it at the moving train, but she was a lit tle too slow. "The next day she was there again witlh her fishpole bouquet-holder, and this time she gave a vigorous push. Young Blackmar was in the cab win dow, with his mouth on a broad grin. Well, he caught the bouquet, fish-pole and all, and she waved him a tri umphant good-by. That's all there is to that." "Caught the bouquet how?" asked the boarders. "Square in the mouth. We took him back down to Moberly to the hospital on the next train, with half his cheek punchied out." "I suppose the wedding bells will soon be chiming?" said a romantic lit tle widow. "Well, if they ain't, they ought to be. He's no beauty. I doubt if there's another girl in Moberly would "have him now." v'+'P" DOGS WORK IN COAL MINES. Canine Power Employed by Ohio Op erators in Shaft* Too Narrow for Homes. In certain coal mines of Ohio the dog has already been reduced to the grade of a laborer, and the utilization of dog power in drawing cars of coal has proved most satisfactory. As the Ger man farmer harnesses his dog to a little road wagon and hauls his vege tables to market, or the Flemish milk man ties his mastiff to the axle of has cart, so the Ohio miner hitches a tan dem team of dogs to a cart and makes them draw out the coal over a minia ture railway, says the New York Trib une. The dog has been found practicable in these mines for the reason that the coal veins are narrow and mules are too large. The miners themselves are badly pinched for room, and are com pelled to work oftentimes lying on one side or half kneeling. The coal ia bituminous, and is all separated by means of picks without the aid of powder. The Ohio coal mine dog not only possesses great strength for his small frame, but is far more faithful than the animals ordinarily used for trac tion purposes. None is of pure breed, but all have in their veins good quan tities of the blood of the mast iff or the bulldog. Dogs of the same team work together harmoniously, but entertain remarkable jealousy for those of a rival team. Thus, when several car loads of coal are traveling out of the mine, one behind {he other, the dogs of the hindermoBt team strain ?very muscle to keep up with those ahead. The miners feed their helpmates once a day, for a dog will refuse food while he is working. A well-tradned animal is worth from ?18 to $25 or about the sum a miner earns in a week. Most of the miners treat their dogs kindly, for they cannot fail to admire the patience and faithfulness with which they toil. Philosopher ?

The Hon* and Hia Gncit Go Through a Sort of "Alphonae and Gantou" Content. In Persia the slightest transgression of the rigid rules of etiquette is deemed rather worse than ji crime. It is the proper thing in thut country to make an afternoon call in the morn ing, the earlier the better. A writer in Leisure Hours tells of one occasion when he suggested calling in the after noon of a certain day. The Persian, gentleman on whom he was to call cordially assented, and said he shoufd expect him at seven in the morning. Persian houses are, as a rule, very simply furnished. There are neither tables nor chairs, but only cushions placed on the carpeted floor all round the room. Possibly your host, cut' of consideration for a European's in ability to make himself comfortable on the floor, has provided one solitary high-backed chair for you to *ft on. He conducts you to it, and, bowing, invites you to be sedtefl in most cour teous phraseology, and with graceful waving of the hands. Etiquette, how- j ever, forbids you to seat yourself be- ; fore he does, and it also forbids the host to sit down before his guest is seated. Hence, each politely declines to sit down before the other, and a contest of courtesy ensues, which ends at last in both host and guest seating < themselves at the same moment, the guest on .his host's right hand. But how about the 6ne solitary chair? Your Instinct suggests that, as your host has taken the trouble to provide It for you, the most courteous thing is to take it. But it would be a great mistake for you to do so. Eti quette forbids you to sit on a seat higher than that of your host. The most polite thing you can do, there fore, is to thank him for his kindness, but to say that under no circumstances could you think of sitting on a seatele vated above his own. Yon at last succeed in sitting down on the cushions by his side, and the servants, at a sign from your host, remove the chair. If you were to sit on it, they would commentmost harsh- j ly on your arrogance. When you and your host are at < length seated, you bow to one anoth- j er and once more ask after one an- i other's health, although a few min- j utes ago the same tender inquiries were made when you first entered the room. Your host has doubtless invited a large number of persons to meet you. 1 You are not introduced to those pres ent unless they are persons of im portance, butyou must, on ending your inquiries as to your host's health, how to every one all round the room in turn, beginning on your right. . 1 When the "afternoon call" has drawn to an end and the visitor rises ; to depart, he probably finds that his legs refuse to perform their duty for a few minutes, as he has been sitting cross-legged, an attitude dear to the orientals, but by no means comfort able for a European. The host escorts the visitor to the door, and he rides away amdd the low bows of a number of servants. DELAWARE VALLEY INDIAN^ The P*?o?tnl Lenapes Said to Har? Been the Fl rut Inhabitant* of the Land. When the Europeans first entered the Delaware valley they found' it oc cupied by tribes of Indians differing quite markedly from the aborigines of New England, for instance, says the Philadelphia Record. Their enlight- . ened character may be surmised from i the sensible way in which they met Penn's overtures and by the evidences of human handicraft found in this vi cinity. They were generally known ! as the Lenapes or Delaware Indians, and it _is only' recently that we have learned what a complicated nation it was. The Lenapes did not consider them selves autochthonous to the country in which they were found by the first Europeans. On the contrary, they pre served a comparatively clear tradition of a not very remote immigration of the tribe into these parts. Two sepa rate and independent versions of this tiradiion were preserved to us by Heckewelder and by Rapinesque. Ac cording to these traditions, the Lenape lived originally in a distant country, west or northwest, and much beyond the "Namsaesi Sipu" (Mississippi).. For some cause t hey undertook a long migration eastward. A part of the tribe, together with and much beyond the "Namaesi Sipu," conquered the "Alligevi," settled in towns east of the river, and for a long period occupied this and the adjacent country. The Lenape huntsmen eventually discov ered the Susquehanna and then the ocean, the Delaware and Hudson riv ers. The date of the arrival of the Lenape in the Delaware valley can only be ap proximately arrived at and has been fixed at about 1387 or 1397. A number of Lenape subdivisions j were settled along the Delaware and its affluents. This river was the favor ite and was named by them Lenape Whittuck, that is, the stream of the Lenape. The names of the chieftain oies along the Delaware have come ' down to us. Thus, the Nashamings are j remembered in the beautiful Nasha miny creek. The Iiankokas and the , Assunpinks also are memorialized in ' the names of the streams the banks of which were foriperly their homes. Cotton Growing; on tihe Nile.
