Mr.. Henry 7. Paddo ck. who some
years since married Maggie Mitchell,
the actress, is genial, educated and en-
and promoting her fortunes with zeal
and intelligence.
Mr.. w. B. Thompson, general superin-
tenden. of the United States railway

his bride, the daughter of ex-P Postmaster
General Key, visiting relatives and
friends. They are enroute for the west.
Two professional thieves appeared be-
fore the pension agent at Philadelphia

led them as the person to whom a pen
The agent, to whom the thieves were
unknown, accepted their Identification
and paid owe the money. Fortunately
he thieves were caught and a largo
part of the money recovered. That
agent needs identification for removal.
Although cts a wise child that knows
his own father,"i it might be reasonably
expected that any husband would know
his own wife. But strange to say, Jo-
seph Millen, of Baltimore, whose wife
Went on the excursion which ended in
the trlghttnl accident on Monday, recog-
nlzed her features at aglance among the
victims on the wharf, further identified
the body by a close inspection, and
went home crushed with grief pna hor-
ror. There he found Mrs Milten in
perfect health, to the utter bewilder-
ment of his senses. She had returned to
the city by an early boat and wa at
home when the accident occurred.
A good many queer things b. l in
Georgia. The Sumter Republ le-
lates that a few months ago Il very
handsome young lady arrived in Amer
lea from the upper part of the state,
and, learning that a certain young man
was at work in the Republican office,
sent him Il note, which lead the TYPO at
once to 30 to meet her. After a few
Minutes conversation she handed him
a 500 bill. He went for license, pro-
cured a minister, and in less than two
hours they were married. .
Henry Ward Beecher is out in a let
ter to the Chicago papers in reply to
Rev. J. s. Kennard, u Baptist clergy
man of that city, in which he says he
knows he is orthodox and evangelical as
10 the facts and substance Of the Chris
tan religion, and he knows equally we'll
that he is not orthodox as to the philos-
ophy which has hitherto been applied
10 these facts. He calls himself "a cor
dial Christian evolutionist," but does
not agree with the agnosticism of Spen-
Ger, Huxley and Tyndatl. He believes
that the animal part Of man was evolved
from beings below him, while in spirit
ual value he is the son of God. "Man,"
he says, ''is aot sinful by nature, but
Voluntarily" He does not believe in
the fall of Adam or the inheritance of
his guilt.
An old army officer tells the Indian
apolis Journal: "The late General Old
was a grandson of George ". and Mrs.
%Fitzherbert. His father, James Ord,
son of thai m~organatic marriage, was
raised in the faith OF his mother, and
Was, like his II, a Roman Catholic.
James Ord, when a boy, was sent to
France to be educated, and was after
ward brought by his tutor to George
town College, where he became a pro-
lessor. He took partin the wal of 1912,
serving as O. captain. He was long a
clerk at Washington, and died IN 1872 or
1873. AT Omaha he assumed the name
ofOrd, which was that ofhis tutor. from
a desire to avoid unpleasant notorietv.
Thus the scion of a royal line has given
a glorious name, although an assumed
one, to adorn the pages of American
history.
1t is possible to have a million dollars
or more and be utterly wretched. John,
the son of the famous rich Stevens, OF
Hoboken, Nj, was born with a horri-
BILE birthmark on his neck-a big brown
lump covered with fur. He has long
been in love with a girl who was very
fond of him and very sorry for him;
but he dared marry her on ac-
count of the gossip 1t would make
because of his deformity. He has spent
100000 in having it removed, but all
the best medical science could do was
to reduce it to a white swelling. This is
so large that it forces him to carry his
head very much on the side. 1t took a
great deal courage on the part of Miss
Mcclure to marry Mr. Stevens, not that
he was unlovely in manner or DISPOSE
ton, but for fear of wagging tongues.
The two young people have loved each
from childhood. OF course the life of
John Stevens has been embittered by
his d%eformity, and doubly so when he
feared that he was going to lose the girl
he loved on account of a thing that was
no fault Of his.
The estate of the late Isaac Adams,
the printing-press inventor, Of Sand
wich, N. H., is valued at ST ,OO0, 900 to
81, 25O,OO0. The bulk of it is understood
to be divided between his two sons,
Isaac Adams, Jr.. of New York, and
Aquila Adam of Boston. Of the three
children borne him by his second wife,
one gets s., 900 and the other two the in
come of$40,0!oo each, it being understood
that in making this provisirn Tor them
he had in view the expectation that
they will eventually have large proper
ties from their mother.
