II was married to another husband.
We were happy until July 4, when 1 got

An Octogenarian About to Marry .

Chicago Tribune: Marcus de Cou-
dres, a retired lumberman living at
Evanston, has taken out a license to
wed Helen l.. Warren of Stockbridge,
N. Y. He is over eighty years old, and
his bride-elect is thirty years younger.
The venerable bridegroom has already
been married three times, and his
latest matrimonial venture has set gos-
siping tongues wagging in the North
Chicago suburb. He is an eccentric
person. The de Coudres pier at Evans
ton is named after him. In his lumber
business he amassed a fortune estimated
at $50 900. Many curious stories were
told of his peculiarities. After he re-
tired from business he got employment
at the Deering reaper works at $50 a
day. His eccentrlcity took the form Of
giving all, or nearly all, the proceeds
Of his daily toll to the Methodist

conscience might be reproducing him
for not having shown her great consid-

both of whom are widows and highly es-
teemed women, have been assiduous in
their attentions to the old man since
his bereavement, and were totally un-
prepared for the surprise which their
father had given them in the shape of
a new stepmOther.

A Girls Heroic Sacrifice.

n uIfIs heroic SacrlI1Ce.
Atlanta ga Constitutions: On Fri
day, neal Hickory, North Carolina.
Samuel Burkley's dog ran mad and
dashed among the family, biting as he
went. The eldest girl Of Burkley,
aged seventeen, seeing the danger to
which her little brothers and sisters
were exposed, with great heroism
caught and held the dog until the chill
dren could get in the house. Casting
the dog as far from her as she could,
she ran for the house, but was yer
taken and severely bitten on the hip
before she got into the house. She was
also bitten on the hand while holding
the dog. After thus getting away the
dog bit two cows and then came back to
the house, and when the children spoke
to it through q window, e~ndeavored to
get at them. The heroic young lady
ran to q neighbor, who shot the dog.

favor of tariff reduction. There is no
question of free trade. The Democratic
party only want an appropriate reduc-
ton of the most offensive taxes on
necessaries of life, thereby taking into
particular consideration the difference
in the wages of foreign and domestic
labor.
When the Norden has the choice
between these two platforms it cannot
hesitate to declare in favor of Cleveland
and the Democratic party in the coming
campaign.
Many who have been dissatified with
the Republican party have been afraid
to leave it and entrust the government
III the hands of the Democracy.
But the strong, sober and conserva-
tive administration of Grover Cleveland
has banished all such fears. The inter-
ests of the country have in him had just
as good defender as any OF his prede-
cessors. The finances are in competent
hands, and his administration has paid
out more pensions than any other adj
miniStratiOn in the same time.
We have well considered the steps we
now take when we advise our subscrib-
ers to support the candidates of the
Democratic party. We know that we
talk to Republicans. Many will be dis
satisfied, but we hope that the majority
of our readers will see and understand
that we in this, our course. are led by
our conscience, and that we believe we

there being no exercises during that
time except the Sunday school Normal
class in charge of Prof. Sperm.
This evening at p. m. Rev.

SHERIDAN In MASSACHUSETTS
The Swatara Arrives at New Bed
ford With the General


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July s.-Gen.
Sheridan, whose expected coming has
been leading theme of conversation
here for week past, arrived to-day. A
large number Of strangers were at
tracted to the spot. The Swatara passed
dumping light and cast anchor more
than a mile from the shore Just before
2 O'Clock this afternoon. AS soon as the
ship was sighted the shore and landing
place were thronged by curious specta-
tors, as we'll as by friends of the gen.
eral. After about an hours delay sew
eral boats left the Swatara for tho
shore. In the first boat were Mrs
Sheridan and two sisters of charity who
have been faithful attendants upon the
general. A party of sailors was in the
second boat. These boats pulled to the
landing, where the party landed. and
the women at once proceeded to the
new cottage erected for Gen. Sheridan.
AT the same time launch belonging to
the ship. towing boat in which was a
stretcher whereon the general rested,
steamed III toward the shore, to the
north and nearly opposite the cottage.
AS the boat came into shall
,oM 0sdod water wat "a dozen sailors
bore it to the shore. The crowd of
spectators, among whom were num-
Der OF photographers, pressed forward
IN the hope of getting view of the
generals features. They were disap-
pointed, however. for large umbrella,
which was held over him to shield him
from the SUMS rays, also acted as an
effectual barrier to curiosity. Once
ashore, the sailors cerrIed the general
up to his cottage and into his room. AS
Gen. Sheridan reached the cottage he
was seen to raise one hand, as if
IN greeting, and when he reached
MS room he expressed his ap-
proval with all he saw, and mani
tested wish to examine the rooms of
the cottage in detail-a thing, of conrse,
impracticable. Col. Michael Sheridan,
OF the generals staff, accompanied the
party from the ship to the shore, and
was in constant attendance on his
brother. The cottage is most taStefuIly
decorated. Its front windows look out
over BuZZard's bay, and it is in close
proximity to several other fine summer
residences. The general was placed in
the front parlor, as it is the
pieasantest and most conven-
ent room. The cottage, al
though spacious, has its capacity we'll
tested. The entire party go to the
hotel, which is only short distance
away, for their meals. Mrs. Sheridan
came from the cottage late in the after
noon, evidently very happy at the sue
ceSSful termination of what was re-
garded as very hazardous experiment.
All conditions now seem to favor the
generals recovery. and at no place on
the New England coast could he be as
sured greater quiet. Col. Kellogg said
that bulletin giving details of the gen.
eral's condition will probably be issued
to the press by the attending physicians
each evening at o'clock. ssss-Sas sf,e,;.>;es.sse

COLONIAL REPRESENTATION

LONDON, July s.-Mr. Rhodes, Cape
Colony deputy and supporter of i'm
perial federation, recently wrote to Mr..
Parnell, assuring him of large addi-
tional colonial support to Irish home
rule if the Irish members would retain
representation at Westminster in their
plan, thus furnishing a precedent
for colonial representation. Mr.. Par
nell replied that if Mr.. Gladstone pro-
vided for Irish representation at West
mister in his next home rule measure
the Irish would cheerfully concur, valu-
ing the position thus given them In the
imperial system. This would facil-
itate imperial federation, which de-
pends upon colonial opinion. If
the colonies desire representation at
Westminster it should be accorded
them. Mr.. Rhodes then wrote. offering
100000 on his own behalf and 81 900 on

East river district. The rains have
been the heaviest known before for
m re than hundred years. The town
of Shekung, the chief sugar market of
the province, has several times been
flooded. Many persons have drowned,
while from all parts of the province come
tales of ruin and disaster in some form or
other. The hunting schooner Memo,
which arrived at Yokohama on June
81. reports that Oh May 81, while three
boats from the schooner were cruising
near Copper Island, they were attacked
by natives. Three of the crew were
killed and the captain and several
others wounded. The German steamer
Firo is aground and leaking off Lain

And the Doctor Accepts.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Dak., July S.-Dr. AL
loway, the territorial veterinarian,
has been rendered the professorship of
veterinary science in the Brookings
agricultural college by unanimous
vote of the board OF regents. This is in
accordance with an act passed by con-
gress donating to each state and terri
tory in the Union the sum of $1,000 for
experimental purposes in agriculture
and kindred subjects. DR.. Alloway is
in Bismarck to-day, and wired his ac-
ceptance of the position this evening.
The selection is looked upon here as
the wisest that could have been made,
as the doctor is thoroughly posted in
his profession, and he did much towards
wiping out infectious diseases among
domestic animals from the territory and
encouraging stock raising among the
farmers. He is graduate of the medi-
cal college in connection with McGill
university, of Montreal.

WILLIAM MAY DIE YOUNG.
An Interview With DIR. Mackenzie
on the New Emperor.


EDINBURGH, July S.-Dr. Mackenzie,
in an Interview with a correspondent of
the Scotsman at Venice, totally denied
the accuracy of the interview published
III the Dutch Dagblad in which he was
represented as admitting that he had
concealed the cancerous nature of En-
peror Frederick'S malady in order to
prevent a regency. The ScOtsman'S
correspondent asked the doctor whether
the statements in the Italian press
that the present German emperor is
suffering from an incurable malady
were true. He replied that the state
ments were mostly exaggerated, but
that it was fact that Emperor William
had an aural complaint, which was not
unattended with danger, although many
persons similarly afflicted had lived to
an old age. Emperor William, he said,
had infantile paralysis of the arm,
which had impeded his growth and was
the cause of his being such short man.
unlike his father. The paralysis had
slightly shortened his arm, but he could
use it well and was otherwise active and
strong.
SURROUNDED BY SPIES.
PARIS, July S.-Dr. Mackenzie, in an
Interview here, said he was glad to leave
Berlin, where his movements were
closely watched. Empress Victoria"
he said. "was surrounded by spies after
the death of Emperor Frederick. l was
confined al Potsdam for several hours.
Emperor Williams conduct was odd al
together. l almost think his aural
malady has affected his brain. l can
sap nothing oi the late emperor's me-
moirs. 1t is untrue that Queen Victoria
carried them off. Whoever did will
create a sensation when he pub
fishes them. Besides Frederick's
diary they contain series of letters
from leaders of the German liberal
party, sketching the policy they hoped
Emperor Frederick would have adopted
had he lived. Empress Victoria has
not come to decision as to her future
residence. She has an income of
84O, 900, of which $4,000 is derived from
England. She will be obliged to make
Germany her nominal residence and
WlllVislt Berlin every year."

BERLIN. July 8.-Emperor William
Will start for Kiel by rail Friday, and
Will embark Saturday. The royal yacht
Will probably touch at Copenhagen and
Stockholm. All conjectures as to the
object OF the emperor's going to st.
Petersburg first are settled by the an
nouncement that he left to Emperor
Francis Joseph to decide when the visit
to Vienna should take place, and that,
IT the Austrian emperor had so desired,
Vienna would have been visited first.
The Odessa press announces that En-
peror William, after his meeting with
the czar, will return by way of Moscow,
Odessa and Kieff, whence he will prob
ably proceed dir ectly to Vienna.

Promises to Be the Fight With
Missouri Bald Knobbers.

ST. LOUIS, July s.-Information comes
from some of Bald Knobber counties in
Southwest Missouri to the effect that
trouble is brewing between two factions
of the Bald KnObber organization. A
man known as "Doc" Peters was ar
rested at Cassville last week as Bald
Knobber and cattle thief, and the arrest
is likely to prove an important one, as
Peters is now known to be one of the
leaders of band who have stolen dur
ing the last month more than 1000 cattle
off the range in Ozark, Christian and
Tany counties. One of the factions
claimed that the other has been reveal
ing the secrets Of the order, and already
more than one member has been MUIR
dered for giving information to the au-
thOrities, and more killings are daily
looked for. Both sides are well armed,
and if an open conflict should take
place the fight will be fierce and bloody.
