THE WIFE OF TWO MEN.
How MIR. "Fish and Barns" Re
ceiyed his Name.
Iavyille Dispatch Philadelphia Press

Mayyille Dispatch Philadelphia Press.
Near Prospect, station on the Chau-
tauqua Lake railroad, about eight miles
northeast of Mayville, resides Mr.. Al
pha Barns in the old Fish-and- Barns
homestead. Alpha Barns, until the last
few wears, was always known as Fish
and-Barns," from the fact that his moth
er lived as the wife OF Hiram Fish and
James Barns. Born late in the last CEN
tury, in Connecticut, Hiram Fish came
with his parents TO Oneida county, y.
y, and lived there until 1915. Becom-
ing infatuated with beautiful young
girl, Amanda Noble, and his affections
being crossed by friends, he determined
10 90 west and secure home and then
return and claim the hand OF the object
of his affections. He came TO Chautau-
qua county and settled on a large tract,
about six hundred acres OF land, and
made preparations for living. Being an
active, energetic and industrious youth
he soon made an inviting home. lie
started for home TO claim his plighted
beauty. When little more than hall
the Journey was over he was captured
bv the Indian allies of the British and
taken TO Canada, where he was detained
a prisoner until the fall of 1917. lmme-
diatelv on being liberated he fastened
toward Rome, arriving there late in the
day January 26, 1918. No word having
been received from him for nearly four
wears, and supposing him to be dead,
Amanda had given her hand TO James
Barns, and on that day january 20,
1915 but little while before Fish ar
rived, the indissoluble union had been
made. His appearance at this time
created the greatest confusion. Amanda
declared that she loved Fish and could
not live with Barns. To make the best
of an unfortunate circumstance, Barns
and Fish agreed to both live with her
rs their Joint wife. In pursuance OF
the agreement the three, in August,
1878, moved to the Fish lands in ChaC-
tauuua county, and there lived together
for nearly fifty years, until the death OF
Barns. which occurred January 10Th,
1861, and she and Fish lived together
until his death, December goth, 1876.
OF long life but twelve years were de-
voted TO the object of her heart, but
those years were OF perfect JOY. Since
FiSh's death she has resided with her
children. She is now in her eighty-sec-
ond wear. The children were always
known by the neighbors as "Fish-and-
Barns. In everything a community
of interest was had. valuable improve
ment made. large fortune accumulat-
ed, all OF which was willed by the re-
spective decedents to the wife and four
children, according to the letter OF the
agreement made January 10Th, 1918.
n is said that during this long and
strange life never a want was felt in the
home, never a domestic misunderstood
inc. not even harsh word.

Field and Tnden.

y Y. Times.
Persons who have carefully weighed
the remarks made by Mr.. Field and MIR.
Tildrn during the las. three weeks are
inclined 10 believe the lattcr'S crime -
blasphcmv. As is we'll known To all the
believers i'm Mr.. Field, blasphemy con-
siStS cithcrin denial Ol the being orat-
tributes of Mr.. Field, or in IdiSplay OF
any want nj reverence Tor him. No one,
oi course. i'm this enlightened land denies
MIR. Fields existence, but there are tie
pravrl and reckless men who do not
hesitate t. speak OF HIM
with irrrvrreuce and even
horrible as it may seem with
contempt. Now, though Mr.. Tildcn Is
urithcrtotIlly ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ly reckless, he j. Il man who sometimes
speaks irrcvcrutlv, especially alter dIn-
urr. Let Us suppose that MIR. Hidden,
having reason 10 believe that Mr.. Field
intended 10 secretly sell ont his Eleva-
tel railroad stock, determined To sell his
own first, and. having done 50, remarked
tn hiS broker: "Cvrus IL sly, but there
are weasels that ne can't catch asleep.
such a remark would bc 10 the last de-
cree blaSphemous IL would attribute
"slvnesS' to the straightforward, honest,
and plain-,lealing Mr.. Field, and 1t
would also imply that there are things
which he is not able tn do. Ii Mr. Til
den made such q remark, we can under
stand why Mr.. Fields anger against hlm
is hot and implacable. Not that Mr.
Field is personally indignant, but he
ieels that SO wicked wretch rs the
blasphemous Tlden should not he sui
ierrl 10 live.
Ii is. unfortunately, doubtful ii Mr.
Tilden can be- punished under the stat
ute against blaSphemy. The statute can
be amended. With the help OF his Ele-
waited railroad stock, Mr.. Field can Sc
cure another"legislative ally" who will
induce the legislature Oamend the stat
ute bv substituting the name of Cyrus
W. Field' for that of the Deity. Ii has
long been the opinion OF the Field fami-
~ that common decency required this
change, and when tits once made, MIR.
TLen can readily be convicted OF bias
phemv and punished as he deserves.
