Now as to health, the life of consump-

Or If it can, no one has ever given the

points to consider. One is that he needs
not warm air, but well-vitalized blood:
The active circulation of good, rich blood
will occasionally eradicate tubercles; but
can not conceive of anything else that
will. The air and the food that will Keep
the blood rich, red, and active are the
elements that are needed, and if these are

Florida is good only as sort OF brief rest;
that when a man is merely worn down

1t was a wise old fellow, the Roman

kind, remember too much as 1t Is; but l
will give you untold gold if you will teach
me how to forget" The fact Is, the
praises of tenacious memory as an IN
mixed blessing have been fairly run INTO
the ground. Teachers in the puohc
schools are forever sounding them Ihey
think that the only faults of the children
are that they forget too early, forget the
multiplication table, forget their whip
pings, and so require new ones as re-
minders. 1t is a mercy often that Lhey
do. or their little overcrowded minds
would become mere lumber rooms or
miscellaneous odds and ends
The simple truth is that 1T IS or great
advantage to be able to remember some
things and an unspeakable boon to be abe
to forget others. But, who sets seriously
to work to teach himself and to teach
others how to forget? The grudge that
rankIes in the mind, the mOrtlncatlon
that stings and humiliateS, the loss that
depresses the whole vitality, or the be-
reavement that haunts the brightest sun

BACKED OUT OF HIS PROMISE.
The Suit of Handsome Widow Gurnee
Against Commodore Voorhis

The Suit of Handsome Widow Gurnee
Against Commodore voorhis.
New York Special.
Mrs. Lizzie Gurnee. a widow. has brought
suit in the Supreme Court in this city against
William Voorhis, of Nyack, ex-commodore of
the New York Yacht Club. for breach of prom
Use of marriage, claiming $100, 900 damages. The
case is now on the calendar and will be reached
before long The suit was begun last August,
and the papers were served in September. An at
tempt was made to serve them on Commodore
Voorhs during the Puritan Genesta race, but
the server naturally was not allowed to board
the judges boat. The complaint sets forth
that about ten years ago Mrs Gurnee became
acquainted with the Commodore. and that in
1882 he began visiting her, and very short time
thereafter he became very affectonate, and af-
frmed and declared to her that he loved her.
In May 1885, in this city, it is alleged that he
induced her to promise to marry him, and he
promised and agreed 10 marry within q reasona-
bic time. Confiding in this promise she had re-
manned unmarried and was now ready and will
ing to marry him, but he had refused to marry
her or keep his promises, although she had
waited a reasonable time for him to do so. Com
modore Voorhis, through his counsel, filed an
answer admitting that he had become acquainted
with Mrs. Gurnee ten years ago. He positively
denies all other allegations.
Mrs. Gurnee is fne-looking blonde She is
about thirty five years of age, the widow of +.
Ia. Gurnee, who died three years ago. and she
resides with her father, Thomas Burns, in Nor
risania. She says the Commodore backed out
when she talked of marriage and wanted to have
the day set. She thinks he was led to do this by
his children. She tried In every way to induce
him to marry her. and only brought this suit as
a last resort The Commodore is the wealthiest
man in Nyack. He has magnificent country
place there. He is an elderly man. His lawyer
declined to talk about the case to-day, saying
that the defense was made up and would be sup
rOrted.

A PRETTY WAR STORY.
The Romantic Results of a Lost Diary on
Sherman's March to the Sea.

The Romantic Results of a Lost Diary on
Sherman's March to the Sea.
Forsyth (Ga.) Special.
A pretty little romance growing out Of Sher-
mans march to the sea, has just eliminated here
in the marriage of Mr.. Davis T. Rogers, of Lo-
gan. Kan, to Miss Donnie Goodman, popular
belle of this city. On the third night out of
General Shermans army from Atlanta on its
famous trip to Savannah. it camped on the plan
tation of Mr.. J. T. Goodman, wealthy citizen.
It was night of terror for those in the big
farm house, who had heard exaggerated reports
of the doings of the invaders. They watched
through closed shutters all night long the camp
fires surrounding the place, not daring to speak
above a whisper. Daylight found the column
on the march again, and the last man disap-
peared the children sailed forth to examine the
deserted camp. Among the articles found was
knapsack, in which was diary. which
showed that its had served in a
Kansas regiment from the first year of the war,
and that his name was David f. Rogers, of Lo-
gan. Kansas Five years ago Miss Donnie, the
youngest sister of Mr.. Goodman, born since the
war, paid him a visit and became so deeply JIM
terested in the diary, which told the perious
story of soldiers lfe she wrote to the address,
expressing her readiness to return the mementO
if its owner should be alive A grateful answer
was received, both from Mr. Rogers and his wife,
The two ladies thereafter kept up pleasant
correspondence One year ago letter, bordered
in black, came from Mr.. Rogers, in which he
stated that his wife was dead; that al the urgent
solicitation of his children he wrote his South
ern friend the fact. Two weeks ago Miss Good
man received second letter from Mr. Rogers,
stating that he was about to make business
trip to North Carolina, and that Ee would take
occasion to call upon her. Sunday brought the
couple face to face. 1t was love at first sight.
The visit was heightened out until yesterday,
when the couple clasped hands before the hymen-
cal altar and formed a union from which there

A NEW THING IN MASONRY.
The Workings of the Tnirty-Fourth, or Holy
White Elephant Degree.

The Workings of the Tnirty-FOurth, or Holy
White Elephant Degree.
Chicago News.
We are indebted to Mr.. E. G. Cass, the tai
ented editor of the Paw Paw Times, for an in
sight to the workings of the highest degree of
Freemasonry-the thirty fourth, or holy white
elephant" degree. 1t is not often that Free
mason will sit down and take an outsider so
deeply into his confidence as to tell him the
secrets of the inner chamber, and this makes Mr..
Cass's recital all the more interesting. The de-
gree of the holy white elephant is, says Mr. Cass,
worked in the following manner: The candidate
applies for admission at the outer door and is
subjected to a list of questions relating to his
qualifications for taking the degree If It'll found
that he is sane and sober, has paid his last
months cigar bill, and has no work to do in the
following week which requires him to sit down,
he is, by command of the grand duffer, admitted
to the inner room Here he is questioned further
by the masked grand duffer, who being satisfied
that he is fit subject for advancement to this
degree, orders the candidate to be masked The
masking is very effectual-so effectual that ire
quently the candidate doesn't know himself I'M
der it. He is then marched about the room I'M
til he is lost in the maze of circles and crosses
and figures g. This march Is accompanied by
impressive ceremonies. out of which the candi-
date is pretty sure to come with swimming head
and faint acquaintance with himself. The obi
CATION is then administered and the grip and
passwords given to him, after which he is 'seal-
ed.n When member has been sealed he under
stands why he was asked at the door if his next
weeks work would require him to sit
1t is said that the ritual Of this thirty fourth
degree was conceived by the St Bernard Com
mandery, of Chicago, but that Mr.. John A. Ladd,
of Sterling, is really the man who made the
grand duffer the impressive character that it
now is.
We don't pretend to know what the fraternity
will do to Mr. Cass for giving this information
to us for publication. but as he is bachelor with
no wife to leave widow and no children to
leave orphans. it is not 80 important what be-
comes of him as it might be under other circum-
stances,

commented on the fact that the deficiency was
greater than under Republican administration,
and Mr.. Voorhees, Mr. Beck, Mr.. Cockrell and
Mr.. Call defended the present administration,
and insisted that extraordinary expenditures
were necessary in connection with the execution
Of the laws in Utah.
Mr.. Teller said the reason why deficiency bills
came before Congress at all was because Con-
gress did not do its duty in making the appro
priations in the first place.
Mr.. Edmunds said that he had heard that
many of the new district attorneys had, in their
zeal for reform brought suits without suffi-
Gent foundations, and that had probably in
creased the expenses.
Mr.. Beck wanted the bill held over till to-mor-
row, so that he might look into it, but majority
of the Senators wanted it passed at once, AID it
was accordingly passed.
The Senate then adjourned, leaving the Ed
munds resolution the unfinished business for
o'clock, Mr.. Wilson of Iowa, having the floor.
