up to short time ago, was a spinster, and a
wealthy one at that Isaac was her coachman,
and when she up and married Mr.. Lindsey,
Isaac got so mad that he brought the suit in

its opinion of the man who would bring suit
for damages in breach of promise case. But
the Journal would not call attention to this fell

| VICTORIA Woodruff MARTIN has written a
letter to the New York papers complaining of
| the inconsiderate manner in which they are
| ''giving away" her sister and herself to their
present friends and associates, by publishing
| tales-slanders, she calls them-concerning their

said that high society, or any other society," that

erratc sisters is not likely to change it's opinion

sweet-spirited, mild hammered pastor of Roberts

land from Antwerp. The friend making the
gift and anxious to do the correct thing, also
sends hundred-y ear-od clock in company with
the dog as a present to Mr.. Cleveland. Perhaps
when the Antwerp gentleman comes to consider
the matter it will dawn upon him the giving of

was one of the things one would rather not have
done.
| IT is the custom in some rural communities to
entertain visitors by conducting them through
the graveyard. Acting upon the theory that
this is pleasing form of recreation, Woburn,
Mass. has extended an invitation to President
