DONKEY OF VARIED
GIFTS BEARS BRIDAL
COUPLE TO CHURCH
(John Langan's Best Man Cir
cumvents Scheme for Pri
vate Wedding and 500
Friends Witness Ceremony
NEWLY MARRIED RICHMOND
COUPLE
John Langan and Mrs. Jenny
Hamill, who tried to steal a march
on their friends, but who were
taken to church in a cab driven
by McTammany's donkey.
A donkey that will not work nnd that
ii eald to bo a -walking cure for -whooping
cought figured conspicuously In tho cere
monies preceding the wedding of John
Langan, of 2440 Belgrade street, and Mrs.
Jenny Hamill, of 2360 I.ehlgh ucnue.
Fire hundred friends of Langan Also par
ticipated. John once ran for Councils In Rich
mond. Although he didn't run fast
enough, he has many friends. Tho don
key is McTammany's. McTammany Is
famous in Richmond because ho owns tho
donkey, which Is allowed to roam tho
streets at will. The donkey Is famous
because it Is believed to euro whooping
cough.
Langan and the widow Hamill and John
Toman, the best man, and Miss Mary
Hack, the bridesmaid, agreed some time
ago that corns Thanksgiving Bay Langan
and Mrs Hamill would get married, nut
the wlu-o-tne-wlsp or the banshee or
something got to whispering things it
had heard around Richmond, so Langan
and Mrs. Hamill decided they had too
many friends who might make tho cele
bration too strenuous, and they made up
their minds to steal a march.
DONKEYIS SERVICES REQUIRED.
John Toman la suspected, but he denies
It At any rate, the news of John Lan
gan's plans to circumvent hU friends
came to their ears. So about a doien
of them went to McTammany and said:
"McTammany. phwero is your Jackass?"
But McTammany didn't know, because it
wasn't meal time and he never sees the
donkey exoept at meal time. He thought
the donkey might be visiting his whooping
cough patients.
John Langan's friends thought so, too.
They set out with stout hearts and, after
b. long search, they found the donkey.
The beast was browsing on a head of
cabbage- Several women were gathered
around it With them were children af
fected with whooping cough. An old
Celtic superstition says that children
who- run under a donkey three times will
be cured of whooping cough, and that's
what the children were doing
Of course, John Langan's friends had
some trouble convincing the mothers
that McTammany's donkey was needed
elsewhere, but by the use of blarney and
finally force they got away with the
beast Twenty of them dragged it to a
tatile. and hitched it to a cab.
ERAWS BRIDAL PARTY TO CHURCH.
MeTamraany's donkey, as has been said,
will not work. So John Langan's friends
Nttaabed themselves to the shafts far
nlnst the beast and some got behind and
pushed, and by this means they got the
ooBVeysnce to Mis, Hamlll's bouse, where
taey found Jobs Langan and Mr. Ham

SAY SUFFRAGISTS
State Leaders of the "Cause"
Agree to Oppose Christabel
Pankhurst's Methods in
Campaign.
rno a snrr cohrkspondb'ct
SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 25 -Expressing
confidence that the cause of votes for
women will bo victorious In 1915, and
yet determined to Increase their activi
ties in reaching that goal, the majority
of the delegates to the 4Cth Stato con
vention of the Pennsylvania woman suf
fragists, which adjourned yesterday aft
ernoon, are leaving here this morning
The chief characteristics of the gather
ing and those which caused the greatest
gratification, Judging from the sentiments
expressed by the departing women, were,
first, that the campaign of the following
ear as laid down by tho convention Is
to be a conservative and dlgnlfled one;
and, second, because so many suggestions
for the wholesale spread of the propa
ganda were launched at the meetings.
Miss Mary Wlnsor, chairman of the
Committee on Congressional Work, and
organization, who. to use her own words,
"has spoken in Hyde Park and been
heckled by the London mobs and doesn't
mind it a bit," gave a humorous little
talk before tho close of the convention
to those delegates who arc novices In the
art of street speaking.
With a slogan, a political policy and
a campaign fund, It remained only for
the suffragists to acquire a song to en
able them to take their place in the ranks
of dyed-in-the-wool organizations.
They now have that song. It Is sung
to the tune of "America" and comes from
the pen of Mrs. II. W Phillips, of Wilkes
Barre, an ardent worker for the cause.
"BONO OF THE SUFFRAGIST."
The following are four of the six verses
which comprise the anthem:
TUNE, "AMEniCA."
Our country, 'tis of tnee,
Vte ailc our liberty,
ror iMne own saKe.
tPreertom (or til alike,
We'll shield thee with our rnlrht.

We'll help our iplenJIJ men
To malts thJa land a gem

LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM
DISSIPATEDBY VETO
OF ELDER BROTHER
Francis Byrne, 20 Years Old,
Prevented From Marrying
Freda Kleist by Guardian's
Interference.
I will marry Freda In spite of my
brother or anybody else," said Francis
Byrne, 20 jears old, 3100 North 2Sth street,
this morning, when asked about his mar
riage to Miss Freda qraco Klclst, which
was scheduled tomorrow and was Inter
rupted by an older brother, who Is guard
Ian for the young mnn.
Determined to moke his promise good,
Byrne, accompanied by Miss Kleist, left
this city this nfternoon for Baltimore,
Md., where they say they will be mar
ried. They boarded a train at 1.24 o'clock
at Broad Street Station. Byrno said he
and Miss Kleist would return to this city
after they were married.
Whllo tomorrow evening had been
fixed for tho wedding df tho youthful
couple, they Intended to go to Elkton,
Murland, yesterday to be married,
but learned that Joseph T. Byrnd,
2b31 North 27th street, had frus
trated their plans by getting In touch
with tho authorities there and Instruct
ing them to refuse a license to his
brother and his 16-ycar-old fiancee.
Francis Byrne and his fiancee were seen
today at the home of the girl's parents,
and aro nonplused and Indignant at the
Interference of the brother.
Bjrne declared today that after his
brother had stopped the wedding he said.
"Now go get married If you want to "
Friends of the youthful lovers and tho
whole neighborhood where they live are
deeply Interested In the outcomo of the
romance All sorts of suggestions as to
how the brother might be circumvented
were offered to the boy and his sweet
heart. It was suggested that he obtain
a license in this city by misrepresenting
his age, but the young woman disap
proved of tho Idea.
"That would neer havo done," Bala
Miss Kleist, as the stood by the side of her
sweetheart In tho parlor of the Kleist
home before the two left for Baltimore.
'Francis might have been arrested
for neriurv and then I couldn't sen him
anyway very often If ho wns In Jail."
Miss Kleist said Joseph Byrne, the
brother, objected to the wedding because
of a religious difference, but this was de
nied this morning by him.
"I don't think my brother, who Is still
a minor, is capable of taking care of a
wife, ' said Mr. Byrne, who Is a brick
manufacturer, when asked why he ob
jected to his brother's marriage. He said
that religion hadn't entered Into the mat
ter at all, and added that his brother
could marry Miss Kleist If he wanted, but
that he would not give his consent.
Preparations for the wedding wero
made. Miss Klelst's parents sent out 40
Invitations for the wedding, and a wedding
cake weighing 15 pounds waa ordered
from a caterer, but tho brother spoiled
the arrangements.
Since the death of Francis nvmo'o
father, who left an estate for his two
sons, the younger brother moved away
from the family home nnd took up his
residence with the family of his fiancee
"This was done," he said, "because
they would not let me do as I wanted
to, so I Just moved over here and was
happy until yesterday when I learned
that my brother had upset my plans"
Byrne and Miss Kleist have known each
other for many jears. and at one time
lived within a square of each other. Thev

"MOVIE" REALISM
SENDS AN AVIATOR
TO THE HOSPITAL
Actor Falls While Dropping
Bombs; Two Women
Faint and Tavern is Burned
Despite Constable's Pro
test. Thcre was so much Impromptu realism
In "Tho College Widow," a photoplay
staged today by tho Lubln Company at
Betzwood, Pa, that ono of the actors
is In tho Norristown Hospital as a re
sult of a fall from nn aeroplane, and two
others aro being cared for by physicians.
Fire, aeroplanes, bombs, struggles, and
finally legal complications wUh nn ob
durate constable caused excitement that
throw tho neighborhood Into a general
turmoil,
Tho actors were compelled to burn
down a real tavern, which for years had
been tho rendexvous of nearby hunters,
and It was this piece of realism that
aroused tho Ire of tho constable, who
had a teat star and a real goatee. But
before taking up the endless legal argu
ment with him, It Is moro essential to
bear In mind thnt tho Injured aviator was
Jack Hall, who has nvlated In many
climes.
He fainted while carelessly dropping
bombs on battleships in a trip over New
York Harbor. The harbor being a lake
nearby. He volplaned nnd was picked up
just ns Marlon Wood Jumped from tho
window of tho burning tavern. She faint
ed nnd a woman who followed did tho
same, although It was not In the plot.
Now, as to tho constable He told
Barry O'Neill who staged tho play, that
tho fire could not lake plnce, nor the
bomb throwln' nuthcr, on nccount of tho
woody conditions of the woods.
TALKS UP TO FIRE WARDEN.
Barry got rod in tho face. He toyed
