with a veil of the same beautiful
workmanship, as part of the bridal
toilet of young girl, at that time the
only surviving daughter of a WELL
known widow lady. The bride who
wore this married the son and heir of
one of the richest of Baltimore's
merchant princes. 1t was love mar
riage. and the lace a gift from the
groom. Six months later the young
wife closed her eyes In death. Her
husband, frantic with grief, could
not bear the sight of anything mind
ing him of the past, and all the per-
sonal belongings of the young wife
were sent back TO the poor, broken
hearted mother. This was years ago.
aud now that mother in her old age,
by the strange and cruel changes of
life, is left in poverty. One by one
her valuable possessions have been
solids until finally the bridal robe, with
its pathetic history. concerning which
its new owner will care but little,
pleads for purchaser.

a violent pain in his ear. He was
soon satisfied an insect of some sort
had crawled in the opening, and
awakening his wife she undertook to
get it out with a hair pin and knitting
needle, but all her efforts were unsuc-
cessful. The man was almost crazed
with pain, when suddenly Mrs.
knowles remembered that she had
read in the papers how certain insects
were invariably facinated by a light,
and holding a lighted lamp close to
her husbands ear she was soon re-
warded by seeing the head of a for
midable looking bug appear. The
head was quickly followed by body
half an inch long. The bug crept out,
and Mrs. Knowles knocked it on the
floor. A stream of blood followed
the exit of the bug from Mr.. Knowles
ear. Mrs. Knowles stepped on the
bug and killed it. 1t was one of
those big swapping bugs that have
their heads hung on hinges at the
middle of the back, and work them
up and down like pile drivers when on
duty. Thanks to his wife's knowledge
of insect habits, Mr.. Knowles was res.
cued from the bug in time to prevent
serious consequences. Smart woman

An Error in the COuat.

ALBANY, Nov. 19-The State Board
or Canvassers met to-day. A discre
pancy of $50 votes between the total OF
the Richmond County returns before
the board and the footing AZ made in
the Secretary of States Office created
some nervousness among the Democrats.
As sent up by the county clerk this
return gives the total of votes cast for
electors as 304 BIT, whereas the items
set opposite each cleo tors name foot up
only 1903, 567. If the total AZ returned
by the County board IL allowed to stand
the discrepancy of $50 would, in order
10 be just to each elector, have to be
distributed pro. rata among them NIL, a
device which the State Returnin q
Board has no power to bring into play.
The County Clerk was at once tele-
graphed to come TO Albany to explain,
IL he can do 80, and to Ale corrected
return II he makes satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION. The error, If not such as
can be corrected, will, it is claimed,
reduce Cleveland's reported plurality
$50.
The Democratic mem bers of the Re.
turing Board held a preliminary meet
ing, whereat it was decided not to
change the custom of making the Sec.
rotary of State chairman of the Board.
Roscoe Conklipg, Francis Lynde Stete-
son and William G. Whitney were
here as counsel for the Democrats, but
Conkling did not attend the meeting
of the board. After examining some
returns that were not quite regular the
board adjourned till a O'Clock to-mor-
row.
