Widowers Rushing 1t.

frOn tne NASHVILLE democrat.
''The widowers are trying to rush society
again this winter" remarked a young lady a
little too aged for the attention of the giddy
swells. ''You can hardly read the society
news" she continued, without running across
several items where this or that widower has
given a dinner here or a box party there, or a
german somewhere else. Now, am not envi-
Gus, for the Lord knows the sweet seventeens
can have them and keep them, but on my soul
] trust the would-be firts will get themselves
new dress suits this winter. OF all the
hand-me-downs have even seen the
hammer-tail coats the widowers wore last
season were the very worst. They looked like
last years bird nests or grandpapa's hat, and
know some of them did service some fifteen or
twenty years ago, because papa told me so. If
these aged, would be dudes can't do better I
would suggest that some Market street pawn
broker advertise fine dress suits for gentle
men at Sl.50 an evening" and they would do
well to patronize the progressive and accom-
modating merchant. Further, if they can Dor
row or rent at a nominal figure q nicely boiled
shirt society would be tickled to death, for
the open back glazed garment most of the
old timers wore last winter did not add much
luster to swell affairs. 1t is a sad thing for me
to see one of the boys looking like a patched
crazy quilt, and make these suggestions not
because am envious for their lack of atten-
ton, but in a spirit Of Christian kindness, and
because respect old age and want it TO look
as decent as it is possible to make it."

A Pirates Jewels.

REMARKABLE ADVENTURE OF SAMUEL CRANsToN
TO BE REHEARsED IN COURT.
The remarkable adventures of Samuel Gran
ston many years ago are revived by case in
court in Rhode Island involving the possession
of certain valuable jewels obtained by Cranston
while in servitude to a band of buccaneers in
the West Indies. Cranston was the son Of one
OF Rhode Islands colonial governors, and,
when young man, started on a voyage to
Jamaica in quest OF fortune and aventure. He
took passage on a trading vessel, which was
sighted by pirate off the coast of Florida
Preparations for a desperate sea fight were
made, Cranston being a leader. The Yankees
were outnumbered, and the pirates were soon
clambering over the ships side. Eighteen
sailors were captured, but so Infatuated was the
pirate leader over the loss of two or three of
his men during the skirmish that he ordered
the prisoners put to death. All but Cranston
were buthered, and he was saved simply owing
make Cranston his slave.
Cranston thenceforth was forced associate
OF the piratical gang, and for seven years went
with them on their marauding expeditions.
One night, while the gang were lying stupefed
with drink, he made his escape in an open boat
with a small stock OF provisions, and for DAYS
and nights drifted about. Halifax, N. S.,
trader found him and landed him safely in that
port. Arriving at his Newport, r. l., home he
was amazed to find his wife preparing to wed a
Dr. russell, and when the long-lost mariner
raped ON his own door he found his face was
no longer known and that his wife refused to
see the stranger because she was attiring her
self for the nuptials. Cranston finally proved
his identity, there was a joyous meeting, and
that night there was wedding, but the weather.
stained sailorman was the groom. Cranston's
descendants, who are now struggling among
themselves for the possession Of the jewels, are
wel-known people of the state, and 1t is more
than likely that the exciting adventures of
their common ancestor will be rehearsed on
the trial.

An Instance Of Wonderful Nerve,

rum Inc Times OF lndla.
The heaters had been at work half an hour
when we heard cry announcing that the man.
eater was making his way toward the plain,
hustled along somewhat by the volleys of
stones, but sharpening his claws and growing
defiance. In taking up our positions it SO hap
pened that Lieutenant Harrington was on nv
right, In line with the mouth Of the gully, and
not more than 20 feet from nv elbow. He had
a double-barreled rifle of heavy caliber while
had repeater. In three or four minutes
after the cry of warning the tiger appeared in
the mouth OF the gully, head on to Harrington,
and looking him straight in the face
Hold on! He's my meatI' shouted the off,
Ger, as he brought his gun up, and it became a
point OF honor with the rest of us to hold our
fire. He took cool and careful aim. but the
bullet simply touched the skin between the
tigers ears. He dropped like a stone but was
up in an instant, and with a roar to shake any
mans nerves, he sprang forward at the lieu
tenant. In the tenth Of a second l turned nv
eye from the beast to the officer. and what was
my horror to see serpent twining itself about
his leg and rearing its head to level with his
shoulder. l forgot all about the oncoming
tiger, and for the first time in NV life nv
blood seemed turned to ice. Harrington stood
with his left foot ahead and his right braced.
and as the tiger touched the ground for his
last spring the rifle spoke again and the beast
rolled over with ball through his
Jam. heh, "hlle we all kept our
places like SO many blocks of stone,
he dropped his rifle, seized the snake
just below the head with his right hand.
and came walking toward us. The serpent
writhed and twisted about in it's rage, and as
1T uncoiled itself from the mans leg he flung it
30 feet away. 1t was rushing back at him, when
one OF the party, with shotgun at his shoulder,
blew its head off.
Good shot," remarked Harrington, as he
walked back and picked up his rifle.
We ran after him and shook his hand and
showered unstinted praise on him for his nerve,
but he would not be a hero. 1t was the pres
ence OF the serpent, which was of a highly
poisonous species, which had disturbed his first
aim. He felt it under his foot, and realized
that its bite meant DEATH but maddened tiger
was before him, and he did not give the snake
a second thought.

A Beaver Valley Romance.

rum tne t1ttsOurg Dispatch.
pretty little bit of romance has Just come
to light at Beaver Falls, Pa. On Saturday
pretty Mary Burns. aged seventeen. informed
her mother that she had been a married
woman for more than two y~--ss past. anu m
proof thereof exhibited a marriage certificate
showing that she had been welded to a young
man named Wilson in 1886 by New Castle
minister at the residence of a friend here. OF
course the bride, at the time OF the marriage,
was but fifteen years of age, but by the aid of
a friend license was procured, and the cere-
mony performed. Alter the ceremony had
been performed the young couple decided to
Keep It secret for awhile, and enjoined their
friends TO aid them How well IL has been
accomplished was manifested on Saturday. The
mother scarce believed her own eyes as she
read the certificate. Shortly after wedding
Wilson, who is an iron worker, went 10 Cleye-
land, Ohio, where he has been since. He and
his wife have kept up continual correspond

About year ago the girl took i'll and her
condition became alarming. IL was feared
that she would die. While lying thus weak she
called her mother one day aud said: Mamma

Another Campaign Sensation.

ALLEGED LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE HOW TO
OPERATE IN INDIANA.
A copy of letter of instructions, alleged to
be signed by W. W. Dudley and to have been
sent out from the republican national commit
tee on October a. has fallen into the hands Of
the democratic committee. 1t is as follows:
Il hope you have kept copies of the lists
sent me. Such information is very valuable,
and can be used to great advantage. 1t has
enabled me to demonstrate to friends here that
with proper financial assistance Indiana is
surely republican for governor and President
and has resulted, as hoped it would, in secur-
ing Indiana the aid necessary. Your commit
tee will certainly receive from Chairman Hus-
ted the financial aid necessary to hold our
foaters and doubtful voters and to gain enough
of the other kind to give Harrison and Morton
10000 plurality. New York, with what you
have done, ought to be safe; Connecticut like
wise; in short, every Northern state, except
possibly New Jersey, though we still hope to
carry that state. Harrison's majority in the
electoral college should be no less than
100. Write each of our precinct captains.

Doodle and steer the democratic workers to

own men. Second, scan the election officers
closely, and make sure that there are no men
on that board whose loyalty is even questiona-
BILE. Third see that our workers know every
republican voter, and see that they so vote
Fourth. divide the foaters into blocks of FIVE
and put trusted man, with necessary funds
in charge of each squad, and make him re-
sponsible that none get away and that they
vote our ticket. Fifth, make personal appeal
to the republican business men to pledge
themselves to work the entire day at the polls
They will be astonished to see how utterly
dumbfounded the naturalized democratic vo-
tiers will be, and how quickly they will disap-
pear. Lay great stress on this matter; it will
pay. There will be no doubt of your receiv-
ing the necessary financial assistance from the
national and state committees, but only see
that it is husbanded and made to produce re-
suits. We will fight for a fair election here if
necessary. The rebels and copperheads can't
steal this election from us as they did in 1884
without some one getting hurt"
