GERMAN NEARLY LOSES BRIDE
SECURED FROM FATHERLAND BY
AD, WHO CANT SPEAK ENGLISH
Claremore.—The Issuance of a
marriage license by the clerk of the
county court In this city to John J.
Goertz and Annie Holland, brought
to light an interesting story.
Some two or three months ago
John Goertz, who had been living
alone on the Lewis Allen farm near
the Collinsville oil fields since the
death of his wife, came to the oon
elusion that this mode of living was
too lonesome, and that the easU><<t
manner In which to secure another
companion was to advertise for one,
and being of German descent, natur- ;
ally wanted a companion of the same !
nationality. He, therefore, placed an |
advertisement in one of the news-
papers in Berlin, Germany, hoping
thereby to secure the desired results.
In a few weeks Mr, Goertz received I
? a letter from Miss Annie Holland of |
Berlin, stating that she had read the I
ad. in the Berlin paper, that she'
was 46 years of age, had for a num- j
ber of years been living with her j
mother In that city, but, as the lat- j
ter had died a short time since, she '
was alone, and would appreciate fur- j
ther particulars regarding himself,
and was not averse to a proposition
of matrimony.
Ooertt immediately wrote to the
ycung lady, and the correspondence
quickly led up to the proposal of mar-
riage and the date was set for her to
sail to this country.
MIsb Holland arrived in Claremore j
expecting to meet her intended hus-
band here, but in some manner the
dates had become mixed and the gen-
tleman did not put In his appear
ance. As Miss Holland neither
■poke nor understood the English
language, she w as at a loss just what |
to do, but managed through the aid
of signs to , secure mealB throughout
the day, and when night came went
to the l'alace hotel, gave the "sleep
sign" and secured a room for the
night. On coming down Btalrs next
morning Mlaq Holland discovered
three gentlemen of German descent
standing near the hotel and in con-
versation with them, told them of
' it predicament, and alBO gave them
the name of the Intended bridegroom.
The gentlemen Immediately secured
Goertz over the phone and Informed
him of the fact that Miss Holland was
in the city. Goertz came to this city
poBt haste, met the fair lady, secured
the necessary license, the "knot was
tied," and the newly-weds left for
the home of the groom near Collins-
ville.

tion in which an additional levy was

The charge of embezzlement against
Thomas Fennell of Fort TowBon,
sworn to by Dr. Faught, and alleging
that Fennell was short $600 In his
accounts as treasurer of the Fort

Blanchard. — An entire block of
wooden buildings occupied by busi
ness houses was destroyed by fire here
when a blaze starting at 6 o'clock in
the morning in a restaurant owned by
S W. Moore. Fanned by a south wind
the flames spread north and could not
be checked until the entire block was
destroyed. Firemen narrowly pre
fented the spread of the flames to the
Tucker building across the street from
those burned. The total loss In the
blazs will aggregate about |20,000,
with Insurance of approximately
(8,000.
All the owners of the buildings de-
stroyed already are making arrange-
ments to replace their structures with
brick buildings.
No accident* occurred during the

Ing the opening of the "strip" In 189.1,
and two residences were burned to
the ground here within a period of
eight hours, the total loss from two
conflagrations, being more than $20,-

heroic work on the part of the lire de-
partment prevented the destruction of
ar entire block of buildings.
All of the buildings burned were of
frame construction, the fire being
checked at the Grand opera house, a
brick structure three stories In height.
The high wall and fireproof roof en-
abled the firemen to prevent the fur-
ther spread of the flames, which were

Paris H s Declared In No Uncertain
Way What Materials Are to Be
In Favor—Smart Wraps Al-
ready Being Shown.
AH the soft satiny Bilks are In favor
for fall frocks—charmeuse, crepe
meteor, crepe de
chine and brocade
crepe retaining
their place in pop-
ular esteem; but
the satiny silks
with a wee rib in
the weave-like
faille and the new
silk, called duven-
tine, are the ultra
smart novelties in
this line; and tus-
sah is much used.
One of the
frocks illustrated
is of crepe me-
teor, made with
draped skirt, orna-
mented down the
blouBe and skirt
front with a dou-
ble row of small
round material
buttons. The
blouse and sleeveB
are trimmed with
colored embroid-
ery.
At the race
meets in Paris
there were a great many frocks of
taffeta worn, reminding one of chif-
fon or moire, being so pliable and soft.
There were frocks of taffeta moire,
draped gracefully and made with hand-
some sashes of different fabric. The
skirts were draped up in graceful
style, while the bloures puffed very
loose over the girdle or sash. The
frock usuaHy had tulle or lined chemi-
sette.
Most women of conservative taste
prefer plain, soft shades for autumn
wear, but there are fascinating mod-
I em art silks for little bridge and
j luncheon frocks—silks exquisitely Boft
| and satiny in texture and having odd
i printings in post impressionist pat-
j terns on rich-hued grounds. One in
mind at the moment is a magenta-
toned silk with tiny flowerpots and
pansies in blue and purple scattered
over the surface.
Tulle and net frills make the bodices
of new fall frocks full and thick about
the neck, and rare
Indeed is the bod
ice that does not
divide at the front
to show a fichu-
vest of soft tulle,
lace or net. The
Marie Stuart frill,
standing up at the
back, lends a cer-
tain dignity,
which, in combi-
nation with the
simple,, draped
lines of the mod-
ern costume, is
charming. Most
women of con-
servative taste
will be glad that
the opulent Ori-
ental modes are
passing, and a
period of more re-
fined and classic
costume is at
hand.
Many smart little wrapa tor eariy
fall wear are being shown in the
shops. One shop has on view a mag-
nificent wrap of Florentine real bro-
cade interwoven with gold and silver.
Another, which is shown, was a
short wrap for afternoon wear of sil-
ver-white broadcloth, embroidered in
matching shade. There was a wide
fiat velvet bow placed at the opening
at neck
Another attractive little wrap Is
made of beige rose colored satin.
There is a hood edged with ruche of
the material, and lined with colored
silk in flower design.
Still another is of purple charmeuse,
combined with brocaded material of
the same tone. The body of the cloak
was of the brocaded material, while
the deep cape collar, cuffs and bottom
of the fftit were of the plain material

Pretty Beads for Wear In Morning.
Strings of vegetable ivory beads, un-
tlnted. may now be had for 50 ceuts a
string in the lfiost modish length.
These are very light in weight and
very charming with either all white
or colored morning dresses.
The vegetable ivory has the merit
of being all it seems rather than an
Imitation, it Is a Brazilian nut which
grows to about the size of a potato.
When buttons are made of It It is
sliced across, and in the hands of nn
expert manufacturer many of them
are difficult to detect from the ivory
of the elephant's tusks.
Little Hand Bag Would Take On Ad-
ditional Value as the Work sf
the Giver.
yOur sketch shows a useful and prac-
tical type of hand bag, which is sim-
ple and easy to make. It fastens with
a metal clasp of the shape Bhown In
diagram A, on the left of the Illus-
tration. Metal clasps for this pur-
pose, with perforations in them, for
sewing them on to the material, may
be Inexpensively purchased in many
fancy work shops, and there are vari-
ous designs that may be selected
from, and of course they cay be used
in making bags of any shape.
The bag illustrated is carried out
in dark green striped moire silk, and
lined with soft silk, and the size indi-
cated will be found a useful one,
though It could be made on the same
lines in a larger or smaller size, If
preferred.
A novel feature about it is the little
frill that runs all round the edge.
Black silk cord of a fancy pattern is
attached on either side and it Is ar-
ranged in loops with the ends knotted
and frayed out into tassels.
It might be made in other colors
than those suggested if desired, and
it is always a pretty idea with articles

DAY OF THE DOUBLE SKIRT
Vogue That Has Much to Recommend
It Seems to Be Decidedly
on the Increase.
The vogue of the double skirt seems
to be increasing. The under one, gen-
erally of supple satin, is often draped
and drawn in around the ankles. Over
this a contrasting material is draped
or pleated. In the latter case it
might pass for an elongated tunic,
especially as it is often of taffeta.
The fancy for these double skirts
finds a better medium of expression
in the sheer summer materials.
Through the upper one, which is
transparent, one sees the colored gar-
niture of the under one and the effect
is very soft and pretty.
Ribbons are used for this trimming
of the foundation skirt, just as they
are employed under transparent bod-
ires. This use of ribbons under sheer
waists was introduced about a year
ago, but did not find its way into the
fashions for the multitude until thia
spring, in spite of the fact that it has
now reached the hargaln counter
stage it is still a feature of many ex-
quisite toilets.
Safe to Say Hawk Achieved No Pop-
ularity Through His Appear-
ance on Golf Link*.
After making a long shot from the
tee on the Hackensack golf links, H.
O. Yerkes watched the ball as it sped
through the air. It was one of those
drives which the average player
thinks that he ought to make all the
time.
Air. Yerkes had not bargained for in-
terference with the ball, and he was
amazed to see a big hawk follow the
white speck. When the ball fell to tha
fair green the haw*k was seen to alight
on it and carry it away. Mr. Yerkes
was dumfounded, dp was also his op-
ponent, George W. Lyle. But even
they had not bargained on eril inten-
tions of the bird. Therefore, they
were still more surprised when the
hawk dropped the ball farther down
the fair green, but In a very bad spot
In a bunker. Mr. Yerkes was displeas-
ed that such a fine drive had been
Bpoiled. and his friend was somewhat
gratified.
Mr. Yerkes thought he ought to be
permitted to put the ball back where
It landed before the bird picked it up,
but Mr. Lyle declared that he thought
his opponent ought to let his ball lie
where it was and count an extra shot.
However, it was determined that it
was a rub of the green, and Mr. Yerkes
took more than one to get out of the
bunker.
DAINTINESS ITS CHIEF CHARM
Simple but Decidedly Attractive Gown
for Which French Voile Would
Be Appropriate.
The gown shown In the drawing
today is of dainty French voile, sim-
ply made, bu*
most attractive.

material has a

with the popular

and the delicate
blue of the ribbon
gives a pretty
French touch. The
girdle is of the
same. There is a

lero of dainty lace. The short sleeves
are finished with a narrow cuff of lace
and dainty undersleeve of net. The
three scant flounces are finished by a
quarter-inch hem.

What One Sparrow Did.
What is perhaps the most remark-
able accident that ever occurred was
reported last month from Germany,
according to Leslie's Magazine. A
large touring car was traveling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees. Large flocks of sparrows were
In the trees and several boys were
taking chances of being arrested by
the police by shooting at the birds
with sling shots. One pebble, particu-
! larly well aimed, struck a sparrow on
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward the
driver of the car; the bird struck him
full in the fact, and in the next In-
stant things began to happen. The
driver clutched at his eyes, the car
lurched into the ditch, knocking down
a telegraph pole, vaulted to a plowed
field on the other side of the ditch
and went full force into a huge hay-
stack. Despite this wild swerve no
one was even scratched except the
driver, whose eyesight was damaged
by the claws of the sparrow. The
whole incident had taken far less time
than needed to relate it.

She Was Founded.
Violet Jennie was a little girl who>
originated in a foundling asylum.
A visitor who had a habit of visit-
ing took a great fancy to V. J. This
visitor had a girl of her own whose
name was Frances, and permission
was asked for V. J. to take tea with
Frances.
Frances was having a birthday
that day. So Violet (for short) want
ed to be very nice, but she felt that
she had an advantage over Frances,
since not every girl can be an inmaler
of a foundling hospital. Violet Jen
nit tried not to patronize Frances,,
but she could hardly help It.
"This is your birthday, isn't It?"
she said sweetly. "So you were
born?"
"Why, of course. Everybody is
born."
"In your set, I suppose. That's what
makes it so common to be born I
wasn't, you know—I was founded!"—

"There is one extremely odd thing
which happens often in summer."
"What is it?"
"That there should be such a hot
