SpU*nf SmitbEeld stri.-et and Sixth avenue, Pittsburgh, last Tuesday morning to witueps the v. edding of the giants were aware of the fact that when the bedecked and trailing couple march ed up tie broad aisle to the mu-ic of the big organ that they were already man ncd wife ; that the (jeruian giantess was no lontrer Miss Annie i>unz, but Mrs Patrick O'Brien. \et such was the case. The Irish giant is a devout Catholic, while his bride is a strict Trotestaiit. Their love making went on like the placid waters of the broad Amazon until it struck an ob stacle that threatened to wreck their happiness. Each wanted to lie married in their respective religious faiihs. The matter was finally compromised by an agreement that they should first be married by a Catholic priest and after ward by a Protestant minister. Ac cordingly, half an hour before their ap pearance at the Lutheran Church, the nuptial knot was tied according to the rules of the Ilonian Church, in tie pres ence of a very select company of person al and intimate friends, after which they entered their carriage, drawn by four gray horses, and wese driven to the Lutheran Church, where tho second ceremony was performed. It was just eleven o'clock when the four greys drawing the bridal carriage came in sight on Smithfield street. It j was an open carriage; the bride in white satin, veil and orange blossoms, with the groom on the back seat and Monsieur Chalet sitting opposite them. The team was tooled up to the curb in style, and the bridal couple entered the church. There was a craning of necks and a straining of eyes as they passed down the aisle to tho altar, Messrs. Starr and Chalet, who acted as ushers, looking like wee boys in comparison. Dr. lluoff met them at the altar and in a few seconds they again were Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Drien. The groom sealed the contract with a hearty kiss, whose smack called forth scattering ap plause and then, after a brief season of congratulations, the newly-made man and wife left the church. As they drove off the boys on the street sent up a cheer, and the wedding of the giants was over. VEBBAI.LV AND BY WIRE. In the afternoon and evening Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien were at their posts in the Museum and were visited and congratulated by thousands. During the day the following telegrams were rectived by them: May the God Tohi cause your faces to shine in fatness and pleasure. CIIANO, Chinese Giaut. Accept congratulations and may your life be as happy as that of yours. CAPT. M. V. BATES AND WIFE. Kiss your bride for me. May you be as happy as you are big. COL. BLTH GOSIIEN, Giaut of Palestine. Would like to be with you. Missed train. Too far to walk. Heaven bless you. JIM DAHONEY, Giant. Double congratulations from one who wishes joy to both. MILLIE CHRISTINE, Two-Headed Nightingale. Good. In union there is strength. P. T. BARNUM. We unite to congratulate the united. TEXAS GIANT BROTHERS. Have requested my son to personally congratulate you for the entire family. ADAM FOREPAUGH. The curtain on the last act at the Museum had scarcely reached its rest ing place ere the happy but hungry big people started for the Hamilton Hotel. Many of their friends and a number of invited guests were alreading waiting for them. Patrick said he was tired. ! Christina said it was jolly good fun to get married and she had not time to get tired. Pat said of course it was funny but he was hungry tind refused to be comforted. A young man was introduced who had met Miss Duuz when she was living with her foster parents. She recalled tho name at once and was about to relate the cir cumstances - when Pat whispered as softly as a March wind, "Don't men tion it. You do nothing but introduce me to your old mashes." A blush so big that it made a noise covered her face as she stammered, "Putsv, dear, I am thine ; all thine." This assurance does not always carry as much weight with it as it did coining from the lovely Christina. Supper was announced, however, and the O'Briens led the way, a por tion of the stairs having be. n previous ly n moved. The supper table itself meant "good luck," having been form ed like an immense horse-shoe. Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien sat at the toe, out side, while the foster part nts of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Friedenburg, sat inside. Between them was the wed ding cake that looked like the core out of a half-mile track. On the left of the giant sat W. C. Connolley and the snake charmer on the right. The guests were ranged down each arm of the shoe. In the windows back of the bridal party were the flags of Ireland and of Germany, with the stars and stripes between. When the big people began to eat everybody looked at them, but the only visible effect seemed to be the aggra vation of a giant appetite When the giant came to "Viands Kn id" on the bill of fare he said to tiie waiter: "Captain, I don't like my 'viands froid,' I'll take 'em boiled." The bride saw the mistake and called Pat's attention to it by a nudge that shook his frame fore and aft. All went well and dinner was progressing finely, when a gentle men brought in presents for the bride and groom. With all the curiosity of a child the giantess tore the covers off and with a repetition of the former nudge that caused her hubby to look pale "Chrissie" said "O-o-o-o! Pat, ain't them lovely ?" Pat nodded but could not speak. The last nudge had caught him below the belt. When he recovered the guests aro e and the giants retired, the baudplaving "What Shall the Harvest Be?" Facts About Teeth. "There are seventeen thousand den tists in the United States, and they pack into the teeth of the American people a tou of pure gold every year. I about live times that weight of less precious metal, such as tin, silver tad platinum, go the same way. Now these metals are worth one million dol lars, and in the twenty-first century all the coin in the I nited States will he buried in the graveyards." The dentist looked distressed at the result of his calculations, and the reporter, to revive him, suggested that the figures were an argument in favor of cremation. The dentist shrugged his shoulders. • Yes," said he, "but you've no idea how the gold is thus being used up. People used to be content with filling the dark caverns of their molars with any kind of metal, now it must be gold. There is also a growing industry in filling artificial teeth." "How can they want filling?'' asked the surprised reporter. "Why, my dear sir, they are made so. You know how carpenters will pick the fairest, smoothest board for interior work in a house and will then have painter to daub it all over with knots, crossgrains and splits ? So the modern patron of artificial teeth takes his elegant new set to the dentist aud has him drill out vacancies to fill. Looks natural, don't you see? Hun dreds of pounds of gold are disposed of in this way every year. It isn't so particularly the gold that the wearer of these artificial teeth wants to dis play as it is to have the average citi zen look upon them as their natural grinders. You see, don't you and the dentist tapped his own false teeth with a small probe he held in his hand. "Is the artificial teeth industry a growing one?" Inquired the repor ter. "Oh, yes; although statistics show that only one-third of the people of the United States who really need artificial teeth avail themselves of them. Strange, isn't it? \et there are about four millions of them made in this country a year, as it is. Prices have come down terribly, though, and where deutists used to re tire alter eight or nin years of practice aud live in luxury the rest of their lives, they now have to struggle on the best part of their lives and then die poor. We formerly had from forty to one hundred dollars for a double set of teeth. Now twenty dollars is a good price, and good ones that will last five or six years can be bought for from eight to sixteen dollars." "Is the decay of teeth increasing or diminishing among the people of this country ?" "Oh, increasing. Two hundred years ago oue person in five had sound teeth, a hundred years ago but one per son in twenty-five had perfect teeth; and in this nineteenth century age of reform our latest satistics show that but one person in eighty has perfectly souud teeth. Its an alarming condition of things, and by the same ratio it does not take a very deep mathematician to see that the time is near at hand when unsound teeth will be universal. Their decay is largely augmented by the use of cheap dentifrices and powders which arc advertised to give them a pearly look. It does just the reverse. Ire moves the sparkling enamel and puts in its place a ghastly plaster of paris color that is positively repulsive. Prospect Items. Last week our teachers were all at tending the Institute except Prof. Crowe, who had as much of an Insti tute at home as he could well attend to ; the third term of his school in the Academy, opening on Tuesday, the 13th, with an attendance far greater than he was expecting. The question "Who will be the next Superintendent?" is beginning to agitate the minds of our people. Some think it will be Prof. Crowe but the I'rof. says he has too good a position to leave for the small salary of a Coun ty Superintendent. The folks interested in the common schools lu re have started a Literary Society in the large school building. Mr. Frank Critchlow is President. This is a good investment for the young folks. There will be a series of local Insti tutes held at various points in this section of the county during the winter. Rev. Benton Forrester, who has been unwell for some years, is now very low arid is not expected to live a great w h i le. Students who wish to attend a good school at a very small expense should come at once and join the classes in the Academy here. Students can come in to the school, we believe at any time during the term. Two of our teachers, Mr McGowan and Mr. J. C. liicketts, held positions of trust and honor at the Institute last week. Mr. McGowan, we aro informed, is a student of the Freshman class at the Academy at Prospect. Two gentlemen from Muddj'creek township have challenged Prof. Crowe to debate. Mr. F. J. Cunningham, of Whites town, is preparing himself this year in the Academy for entrance to the Sophomore class nt Washington and Jefferson college next fall. Prospect is well supplied with doc tors, Dr. IJarber, Dr. Richardson, Dr. Lepley, Dr. Leighoer, Dr. Allen Pall, Dr. John Miller with tlx; redcoat, who graduated very suddenly from the Academy last term. The general business of our people is, as usual, good. Everybody seems to be enjoying life and catching the pleasure of the wintry days as they pass. "SEMPER " ' One must i>e poor to fcnow the lux ury of giving." That may be so, but we think anybody can enjoy the luxury of giving his fellow suffarer a bottle of Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup to cure his cough. A Western Lynching. About half past ten o'clock last Sun day night; a lone horseman was seen riding into the town of Fowler, Indiana. He rode completely around the Court House and jail and seemed to be taking a survey of things, after which he rode I away again. Two or three people who happened to be on the street saw it was rather a curious action, but the idea that he was a scout for a party of lynchers never seems to have suggested itself until, in about an hour after, three hundred masked men rode into town. They hitched their horses, posted guards to warn away citizens and went to the east door of the jail, where they soon found an entrance by breaking down the door with sledges. Then the quietly but with great determina tion proceeded to break the iron doors leading to the corridors. This took some time—half an hour. Finally, however, the doors gave way under their sturdy strokes. Nelling heard the gratings give way and well knew the purpose of the mob. He dressed himself and, when the last cell door was forced met the mob at the door. "Is your name Jacob Nelling ?" de manded the leader. "That is ray name," said Nelling. "We are after you," said the leader. "I am ready," responded Nelling. Five men lifted him into a buggy in waiting and the whole party then started towards Oxford. The old fel low took the matter coolly. He made no resistance nor outcry. The only re mark he made was: "Go a little slow, gentlemen ; I am older thau some of you " On the way to Oxford, how ever, he weakeacd and begged for tnercy, but was told that if he made the least outcry he would be treated to a much crueller fate than that of hanging. When the band got within a half mi'e of Oxford Nelling was asked if he had anything to say and replied by making a plea for his life. Only about fifty cit izens gathered there and they were held back by masked men while the leaders drove Nelling under a tree. The rope was quickly thrown over a a "limb and two men placed the noose around the old man's neck. In doing this the collar he wore was torn off Another attempt to make him recite the story of the murder was of no avail. "Were you ever implicated in any other crime ?" asked the leader. "No, sir," answered Nelling. "Did you kill Ada Atkinson, Nel ling ?" "1 did. captain." "Have you any statement to make as to your last testimony ?" "No, sir." "Have you any statement to mak e 10 regard to your motive for killing t^ at girl ?" » "No, sir." "Drive under." The wagon was driven from under the tree and Nelling was left hanging. He died with hardly a struggle. The band then dispersed quietly and next day no one apparently had any idea of who were engaged iu the law less job. A Pennsylvania Bear Story. One of the oldest residents of Kane, McKane county, Pa., is Mr. Joseph Jones. He is an eccentric old fellow, and spends nearly all his time with his gun, He was GG this fall. At the age of 12 he was a crack shot, and but few in this vicinity could then beat him. That place was then little better than an uubroken wilderness, in which roamed thousands, of deer, bears, pan thers and other wild animals. Mr. Jones says he has shot and killed over 3,500 deer, 325 bears, besides a great many panthers, wildcats, and cata mounts. Mr. Jones spends seyeral weeks every fall in a small hut he has built iu the midst of the forest, goiug there just as soon as the law permits deer hunt ing. He had a remarkable tussel with a big bear the other day, in which he vanquished the beast, but received serious injuries himself. While crossing a marsh a mile from his cabin he discovered footprints of a bear. He soon found bruin's home in a cave in a rock ridge a few hundred feet away, aud on a bed of leaves were lying two little cubs no bigger than kittens. He bad captured the prize and was retreating when he encountered an immense she-bear, the mother of the cubs, who had scented the stranger. Before Mr. Jones could draw his rifle to his shoulder the animal was upon, and grasping him in her paws, gave him such a terrible squeeze that he fainted, when the bear, thinking him dead released her grip. He fortunate ly regained his consciousness quickly, and while the old bear was playing with her cubs, the plucky hunter drew his rifle and shot her in the side. Tho bullet did not strike the animal's heart, and as the brute dashed at him again Jones drew his hunting knife, and with one bold stroke nearly severed the bear's head from her body. Congratu lating himself upon his escape, the hun ter picked up the cubs and started homeward. He had pone but a short distance, however, when he met another bear, the mate of the one he had just killed. 11 is rifle was unloaded. Unsheathing bis clasp knife as the beast approached him, he plunged it into his throat, but he had caught him for the fatal hug. It was a struggle for life or death, and the brave hunter fought desperately. During the struggle the pair reached the edge of a cliff fully a hundred feet high and sloping at an angle of 45 de grees down to a small creek. As the animal grabbed Jones they slid over the edge of the slope and began rolling down. Jones was carried with the bear, and every foot of the distance traversed added to their velocity. When they reached the foot of the slope they struck against a tree killing the bear and breaking two of Jones' ribs and dislocating his right arm. He was picked up in an insensible condition and brought to his home in this village, where he now lies in a critical condition. The male bear he killed weighed 481 pounds. The Duly of Constables. The following extract from a recent charge of Judge Livingston, of Laucas- I ter county, may be of interest ing value to officials: "While the of fice of constable is not a lucrative one, it is one of responsibility. A constable should bo temperate aud even temper , ed, and see that the laws are executed without fear, favor or alVection. If the duties are not properly performed, con stables are recreant to and violate the , trust reposed in them. It is the duty ! of constables to see that the polls are kept open so that citizens can exercise j the right of voting. As to violation of the liquor law they may come before ; court by remonstrance of citizeus of the : district, by information, by a knowl edge of the constable himself, or by I complaint of a citizen before a justice. | The rule is rather to shield aud aid | liquor dealers than to assist the officers to bring any violators to justice. The I constable must look after the violators |of the law single handed. Constables who fail in their duty in returning those who violate the liquor law are j liable to a fine and perjury. It is the duty of constables to visit all places where vinous, malt or spiritous liquors are sold, and the constable will remem ber that the law requires them to enter such places as constables, and that the law mustbe obeyed. Constables mustgo in to see whether parties have the proper licenses hanging in their bar room as the law directs. A constable can know whether parties are selling without license; it is in their power to root out these places, and when it is as certained that they are in earnest, viola tion of the liquor law will cease." A Sharp Legal Point. A novel case was decided by the Supreme Court of Ohio, last Tuesday, which has attracted some considerable attention. A young man named Streight, a prisoner in the penitentiary, was released by order of the court. Streight had been convicted of perjury under the following circumstances: He fell in love with a young lady of his town and became engaged, much to the chagrin of the girl's parents, who would not have it. A ruse was resort ed to. Young Streight, when he got his license, swore the girl was eighteen years old. The hus band was afterward arrest ed and convicted of perjury. The case was taken to the District Court on error. It appears that when the Probate Judge was re-elected he continued his deputy without swearing him over again or requiring a new bond, and it was claimed by the defense that the deputy was not an officer, and therefore not empowered to administer the oath. The District Court held that he was an officer de facto, and that the oath was binding. The Supreme Court now decides that the deputy was not an officer de facto or de jure, and therefore had no power to administer the oath, and that Streight was there fore not guilty of perjury. This is a very fine point, and will prove instruc tive to the Probate Judge of the State. Important Pension Decision. Secretary Teller has rendered an im portant decision in reply to a question by the Commissioner of Pensions asking for a proper and uniform construction of the revised statutes concerning pen sions to dependant mothers. The Sec retary maintains that if the son was a minor the father was entitled to his services, or, if not living, the mother was so entitled, and therefore the de pendant father or mother should be al lowed the pension. —There is a vast deal of philosophy in the remark of Calino that "Provi dence has placed death at the rery end of life in order to give people time to prepare for it." —Mr. C.
