Harry Benslnger and Miss Ada Louise Owen, well-known young people of Louisville, were quietly married in Jeffersonville Saturday night by Magistrate Charles S. Ferguson. The trip was in no sense an elopement, but was made simply to avoid the necessary display attending a home or ohurch wedding, it being the intention of the pair to settle down for themselves quietly.

The two had been engaged for some time, and aa two brothers, Archie Benslnger and Clifford Benslnger, are In the furniture business in Jeffersonville, it was decided to go to that city, and the brothers were present at the marriage.

Denny, son of George Denny, 326 West Fifth street, was drowned at a point above the Kentucky and Indiana bridge. His body had not been recovered last evening. Denny, who was 24 years of age, and Clarence Reibel went to Glenwood Park yesterday afternoon to bathe In Glenwood Lake.

They were unable to procure suits and Denny suggested that they go to the river. At a point midway between the mouth of Silver Creek and the Kentucky and Indiana bridge and opposite Sand Island they found a number of young men in swimming. They divested themselves of their clothing and were soon in the water. Some time later they left the water and prepared to dress when Denny concluded to take one more plunge. He swam some distance from shore and suddenly was caught by a swift current and was borne down stream.

He called for help, but the crowd on the bank could give him no assistance. One young man swam out from shore, but was forced to return. An alarm was sounded and a net was stretched near the bridge in the hope that the body might be caught, but it had evidently been swept below this point. Denny held a position with the Ox Breeches Company in Louisville, and was a well-known young man. BLUE LAWS t.

Superintendent Whittaker's Letter. HREPROUt STORAGE Ca drawers in summer. It Is inconceivable how a man can endure the heat, perspiration and acute discomfort of the ordinary full-length undergarment, when short underwear offers him easy relief.

There is no doubt that we coddle ourselves too much in our manner of dress and thus become a prey to draughts and open windows. Aside from being cool, "athletic" underwear will do much to ward off colds and make us hardier In physique. Coat-cut sleeveless undershirts and knee-length drawers are so clearly cooler and cleanlier than full-length undergarments, that it is only a question of a short time when every man will put aside his long underwear Just as soon as the weather grows hot. V. is the household name for the best abbreviated underwear for men.

If this mark is on a garment, it guarantees that it is loose-nttlng, generous In cut. carefully made and well-fitting. Moreover, V. undershirts are eoat-cut-that Is, they button down the front like a jacket. This novel feature Is a great step forward in correct and comfortable dress.

It obviates the need of crawling or wriggling through an undershirt to the detriment of one's hair and temper. A circular letrer is to bo sent out by Baseball fans aro great theatergoers.

Miss Anita pictures and the enthusiasm with which they were received the latter half of last week, the Princess Amusement Company retained the thrilling series of views entitled "The Younger Brothers" as the featured st of tho programme presented yesterday at the Avenue Theater. These pictures are remarkably spectacular In their effect and portray a story as ivld and tense as any ordinary melodrama. The whirlwind riding and sharp shooting engaged in by the outlaws and officers frequently aroused the audiences to outbursts of applause, and the mechanical effects accompanying the excitlinr events add much to the realism of the views. The set is the most effective shown since the famous "James Boys In Missouri" series. Of a different character, but equally as interesting, are the views shown of the now celebrated Indiana "death farm" of Mrs.

Gunness, and likenesses of the principals In the terrible tragedies. These pictures show the progress of the excavations and the processes by which the law Is unearthing the many crimes of this modern Borgia. In pleasing contrast to these pictures are the hilarious comedy films called "Sklmvy's Finish." Thin subject treatB of the love affairs of a living skeleton In a circus sideshow and the embarrassing' ardour with which he Is wooed by the Fat Lady, the Giantess, the Midget, the Siamese Twins, the Snake-charmer, the Zulu Girl and the Bearded Iady.

'Wlllard and Harry Bond came on there was something doing. They engaged In "The Battle of Bunco Hill." Wlllard rode a spirited charger, made of a broomstick and papier-mache head. The voice of the "laughing man" could be heard above the din of the engagement on the stage. The act was truly funny one, but It Is difficult to tell whether the audience laughed more at it or the laughing man.

As a rule, Supt.

The commitments in due time would be forwarded to the proper institution, but In many instances the men would not be heard from afterward. CoL Bennett H.

MASS-MEETING. i Confederate veterans in Kentucky will leave to-night for Birmingham, and, os usual, the friend gets all that is coming to him from Mrs. Brown, who thinks he is responsible for her husband seeing such strange sights. The film may be set down as a pennant winner among moving picture productions. Aside from the baseball subject there are a number of other things on the programme that will prove highly entertaining to the summer amusement seeker.

"A Restful Rldo" furnishes one of the big hits. An amateur undertakes a long trip on horselKick, with the result that every turn of the reel shows him taking a hard bump or two all of which is extremely amusing to a moving-picture audience. Other clever comedies are presetted under the titles of An Anonymous Itter" and "Mr. Sleepyhead." A plendid wordless drama Is that styU "Falsely Accused." It tells an un-con' nMonal story and one that is of het vrest. A peculiar feature about this film Is that the means of Inventing the moving picture Is brought to light in connection with the theme of the little playlet- It adds to the Interest of the film.

Another Instructive set of views Is that descriptive of "A Day In the Alps," tho scenes of which cannot help but attract undivided attention.
