SIX KENTUCKY MARRIAGE-3.
And a. Mixed Relationship that 1: Dim-
cult to Unravel. ..
At the village of Roley, one day not
tong ago, there were six couples mar-
ried. In the'morning there was a triple
wedding. in the church. In theafter—
noon three other couples were wedded,
within an hour of each other, at the
homes of the respective brides. All
six of the couples were entertained at
the home of “Uncle” Bob Tucker, who
after the different marriages was
«closely related to all \the principals
thereto. ,Now come some of the singular
features of the case. Uncle Bob, be-
fore the wedding, had in the lot of
twelve individuals a daughter, a son,
three granddaughters, one niece, and
one nephew. In the twelve there were
a brother and sister, two sisters, two
brothers, three cousins, two uncles, an
aunt, four nieces and two nephews,‘
and; yet no one of the tWelve persons
married any one related to him or her-
self. Another funny feature is, that
before the weddings there were two
named Hopkins, two Dunbars, two
Chelfs, two Tucker's, two McWhorte-rs,
one Pcndleton, and one Hood. After
the omelet was done, the Dunbars and
Hopkinses had gained two; the Pen-
dletonsuChvelfs, and McWhoI-ters had
been exterminated; the Hoods had
been increased by one, and the Tuck-
ers had held their ground. Ever
since the wedding day the gossips
have been figuring on the probable
kinship between the several brides
and grooms and their mutual relative

iBlBULOUS HENS. 6
They Imh’i‘be Refuse from a. Distillery and
. Annoy the Neighbors.
Hens that become addicted to the
use of spirituous liquor, that are
maudlm in their cackling, that sleep
_at unnatural hours and have blue
Mondays, seem to be something rather
' new under the sun. Such a hen was
produced incourt at Fort William,
Scotland, a fortnight ago, says the
Buffalo Commercial. She belonged to
a [poultry breeder,‘ who complained
that {his live stock has been seriously
injured by drinking at a brook pol-
luted by ‘therefuge of a distillery.
_Zl‘he refuse was spirituous; the
poultry got drunk, and what they
gained in excitement they lost in ap-
petite and condition for. the market.
They moped on Sundays because there
was 110 whiskey in the water on that '
«day, andon Monday would touch no
food until they had been to the burn
andfiiad a “pick—me—up.” On week
days :they alternately slept and fought,
and broke the eggs of the few sober
ones who attended to their work.
. {the hen that was brought into the
emu-t in support of the plea looked so
impudently at the sheriff that it had
tube oidered out. Whether the eggs
and flesh of a hard-drinking hen ac-
quired a high, sporty flavor that might
recommend to the state of epicures do
ponent saith not.

"Vhere Garfield Was Shot.
The marble tablet that rested in the
south wall of the ladies’ waiting room
of the Baltimore and Potomac Railway
Eommy’s depot at \Vashington and
the brass star placed in the tiled floor-
’ing of the apartment to mark for all
time the spot on which President Gar-
field tell when assassinated have been
removed,
A superstitious dread on the part of
the traveling public of a constant re-
minder of a tragedy seems to have led
to the removal of these monuments.
The immediate cause of. the removal
of the tablet and star was the fire
which «occurred in the depot on the
might of March 4, which damaged the
tablet to such an extent that the of-
ficials of the company declared it was
not in condition “to be replaced. A por-
tion of the marble tiling also had to
be removed, and although the metal
star placed where the President-fell
might have been put back ”in its old
place it was permanently removed,
‘ and the spot is now marked only by a
piece of red tiling, which would pass
unnoticed except to those familiar
with the place and the tragedy that
was enacted there—St. Louis Globe

BEARDBLBY A CATHOLIC.
The Famous English Artist Formally Be-
cei'ced Into the Church.
London, April 13.——Aubrey Beards-
ley, the artist, has been formally‘re-
celved into the Catholic church. His
health, which has been precarious for
a. long time past, is now better, and he
has gone to the Riviera.
Aubrey Beardsley was born at Brigh-
ton, England, in 1874, and came before
the public a trifle more than two years
ago, whenonly 21 yearsold, by his cel-
ebrated black and white drawings.
Beardsley’s parents were very poor,
and as the boy showed a taste for music
hewas educated to be a musician. Ear-
ly in life, however, he: turned to draw-
AUBBEY BEARDSLEY.
ing, and at 21 he was making about
$20,000, a year by his weird and original
sketches, which at once made him
known the world over. ‘
His work was art of a unique charac-
ter, and the public fancy favored it to
such an extent that the erstwhile poor
boy was overcrowded with orders, and
his pockets filled with money.
The attempt to fill all the orders=that
poured in on him undermined his health
a. year ago, and his life was despaired of
for a. time. . '
Beardsley started a cult, which soon
found many followers. He and a.
throng of his imitators were cited as
the most glaring types of modern de-
generation.
Many of his drawings appeared in
The Yellow Book, a publication begun
by him and John Lane, the London'
publisher, and-» the artist's own maga-
zine, '...e Savoy. In the latter publica-
tion Beardsley also appeared as a. poet
and a. prose writer.

A GRAND DUKE’S SUICIDE.
Ruler of Mecklenburg-Schwerin Threw
Himself From a Bridge.
Cannes, France, April 13.—It is an?
nounced here today that the Grand
Duke 'of Mecklenburg-Schwerin com-
mitted suicide Saturday night. It was
stated this morning that the grand
duke was dead, and that death was
dueto aneurism of the heart, but this
report has been contradicted.
Duke Johann Albrecht, the brother
of the late grand duke, has assumed
the regency of the grand duchy' of
Mecklenburg-Sch‘Werin.
The grand duke: it appears, had been
suffering terribly, and on Saturday
evening he asked his doctor to leave
the room in order that he might try
to get sleep. During the absence of
the medical'man and while he is sup—
posed to have been delirious from high
fever the grand duke left his villa and
threw himself from the parapet of 'a
bridge near the house. He was found
a. few minutes later still living, but so
injured that he died in half an hour.
The grand duke has for a. number of
'years been in very indifferent health,
and in consequence has been obliged to
pass every winter in Cannes. He pur-
chased there some time ago a. beauti-
Wenden. .
He was very fond of the sea and
treat much of his time cruising about
.no Mediterranean-
Iccupied, his yacht was always in the
.Iarlfi'n. ' -
