He has the greater portion of this Invested In judgment notes, bonds and mortgages. He occupies a room over tbe wagon bouse connected with tbe stables. One night last week John Jacob's door was pried open and a trunk which occupied one corner of his apartment carried off.

The loss of the trunk itself would not have caused its owner to grieve, but Its contents were valuable.

The Armless Wonder Put the Kind on With nis Teeth. FromtheClnclnnati Enquirer. A very unique marriage was celebrated In 'Squire Hauser's office yesterday afternoon, the 'Squire officiating. The bride was Miss Jessie Troeger, who lives at the corner of Main street and McMicken avenue She obtained some celebrity two years ago by leading a strike ot the waitresses in Rockwell's restaurant. She Is 30 years old.

Tbe groom was Charles K. Adams, better known In the dime museum world as the Armless Wonder. He was born without these useful members ot.the body, and. tn lieu or a better and more profitable means or livelihood, hired himself out to dime museums. Adams Is now about 80 years of age, and, barring tbo lack of arms, Is a fine specimen of physical beauty.

The absence of arras Is little felt by the Wonder, however, ror he has become very expert with bis toes and mouth. He can thread a needle and write a neat letter wltb the former, while with tbo latter he paints dainty little pictures, decorates chlnaware, holding the brush between bis teeth. When the couple entered the 'Squire's office yesterday and said tbey wanted to be united in wedlock, that official was perplexed for a while. "How can you Join hands?" he asked blandly, pointing to Adams. "Oh, that is easy enough, said the pretty bride, who stood fully three heads shorter than the groom, and she reached up and grasped tho stump of his undeveloped left arm with her right hand.

"See," she said, as she stood smilingly on her tiptoes. "But the ring. How can he put tho mar rlago ring on your finger?" "Inthisway," said Adams, and tho astonished officials In the 'Squire's court were thunderstruck to see the circlet of gold between the armless man's teeth. Bending his head he deftly slipped It over the girl's finger. Satisfied that the couple understood their business, the 'Squire went ahead and performed the ceremony.

After being made man and wire Adams sat down, and sli ppl ng he shoe off his right toot, disclosing a stocking with the rrontot the foot cut off, be reached Into his vest pocket wltb his toes and brought out a roll of bills. Selecting a five dollar note he tendered It as a fee. and. putting on bis shoe, went away, his little wife sticking close to him. GOVERNMENT CLERKS.

How News Is Spread In the Depart" monts. From the St. Ixrals Republic. Government clerks aro queer people, anyway. They are wonderful gossipers.

One of these long corridors In the Treasury or Interior Department Is the most perfect whispering gallery I have ever been in. It Is no great strain upon tbe truth to say that Intelligence travels faster in one or these tban on the Atlantic cable. This Is particularly true ir the Intelligence concerns the removal of some official's head or a shortening or tbe hours or labor. A friend of mine once tried an experiment ot this sort lie went Into the west corridor of the Treasury, and approaching a messenger whom he knew one of those sentinels who guard the doors of division chiefs and assistant secretarieswhispered to him: "I hnve Just come from the White House, and while there I heard Secretary Windom had resigned. Don't tell anybody, for It came to me In confidence, and I tell von only because you aro a friend of mine." Then my rnend walked straight and rapidly through the middle corridor, and on arriving tit the eastern end of the building accosted another messenger acquaintance with: "Have you heard Secretary Windom Is going to resign Yes," said the messenger, I heard that about half a minute airo.

It was whispered along the corridor here Just as you came up." The whisper, therefore, had come around distance of about an eighth or a mile, while the originator or the rumor had been walking a fifth tbat distance aoross the building. Dnzed. From Puck. Henry, dear," said Mrs. Newbride to her busbsnd the other morning, "I wish, If It won't be too much trouble, dear, that you'd bring me home a yard of orango ribbon this evening.

I don't want It so very wide nor so very narrow; something between an Inch and an inch and a half, or, at most, an inch and three quarters, will be about right. Be sure and get a pretty shade of orange, dear; and I'd prefer It with one side satin and the othor gros grain, although all satin or all gros grain will do; but I think you can easily get the other If you look around a little; and be sure, dear, not to get a ptcqnet odged ribbon, hut one with Just a plain corded edge; and don't get a sissy piece; and don get any shade but orange; not a real vivid orange, either, but a piece that will look well wit pale green and don't pay over thirty five or forty cents for It; and don't get red or blue or green or pink by mistake. You won't forget, will you, dear I I must have the ribbon to night."
