A Priest Elopes with a millionaire
Gamblers Wife.
CHICAGO. August 2.st.-The wife of mill
ionaire Mike Mcdonald. an ex-gambler and
politician, is missing. The circumstances
are most extraordinary. Mrs. Mcdonald
disappeared from her home at the corner
of Ashland Boulevard and Harrison street
week ago last Friday, and though small
army of detectives have been retained to
discover her whereabouts, they have sue
ceeded only IN nhraipirc. .kyes.5sapaenSs <
pawned or sold somewhere in the East. II
is supposed Mrs. Mcdonald is now in
Europe. IL was being reported this even.
ing that she had as companion CATH
olic priest, who, it was alleged, has been
since unfrocked by the church.
The priest is supposed to have had a
parish at South Chicago or some suburb in
that locality. The story is that Mrs. Me-
Donald became acquainted with the priest
while he was on visit TO the parish of
which she is member. He became infat-
uated with her. The admiration was re-
ciprocated, and an elopement was planned
and executed
On the momentous Friday evening Hugh
Mullaney, McDonald's coachman, took
Mrs. Mcdonald from the house in car
rage. He said nothing about the matter
for week, though he was aware of the
search. Then he told Mike Mcdonald,
saying he had promised Mrs. Mcdonald to
Keep 1t secret for week. He refuses to
talk.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
CHICAGO, August 20th.-Mrs. Michael
Mcdonald, wife of the famous Chicago boss
gambler and three times millionaire. has
eloped with Rev. Father Moysart, Cath
oilc priest. Moysart was pastor of the
Church of Notre Dame here. Mrs. Nc
Donald is A years of age and her priestly
paramour Is seventeen years her Junior.
Mrs. Mcdonald is the mother of four chill
dren and grandmother of two, and for the
sake OF man who could never sustain
honorable relations with her she left all
the Injuries that wealth could bestow.
McDonald's coachman and housekeeper
assisted the wife in the scheme.
Before going she visited the house in the
garb of nun and took all her .jewelry,
ABOUT 81 600 worth, which she pawned for
$400.
1t is supposed the pair left for Europe.
Inc couple left one week ago, and it was
not known until to-day, when the coach
man told Mcdonald, having kept his
promise to Mrs Mcdonald. The boss
gambler is wild over the affair, and says
that the priest got his wife to rob him and
turn the money over TO him.
This is not Mrs. McDonalds first offense.
In 1875 she eloped with Billy Arlington,
the famous minstrel, and was married in
Cincinnati. Thence the couple went to
San francisco, where the husband traced
them. The latter followed, and, meeting
the guilty couple on the street in daylight,
pulled his revolver and forced Arlington to
tell the whole story. He then took his
wife and brought her back. Mcdonald
has now score of detectives after the
wife. 49,

A Race of Human Beings without AM
bitiou or Relic ion

A Race of Human Beings without AM
bition or Religion.
WASHINGTON, August 10th. - Henry
George, agent for the Indians at the Colo
RADIO River Agency, has submitted his an
nual report for the past fiscal year. The
reservation, which is situated on the
boundary line between California and Ari-
2ona, contains about 12S,000 acres 1t ex-
tends from fifty miles in the Yuma strip,
along either bank of the Colorado river.
The Indians, under chsrge of the agent,
number ~ Mohaves, whom 3sS are
males and 3s9 females. OF the IO6 chill
dren CT school age, forty attended school
the past year. Agent George shows that
during the year 46 per cent. of the Indians
supported themselves by civilized pursuits
IA per cent by Government rations, and the
remainder subsisted upon roots and fishing
and hunting. There are about 40, 900 acres
OF tillable land in the reservation, of which
the Indians titled 800 last year. About $50
bushels of wheat, 200 of corn and rs of
beaus aud 600 melons and 5000 pumpkins
were raised last year. Some 700 cords of
wood were cut, and the Indians sold the
Government and otherwise 81, ,263 worth of
produce.
The agent says that most of the Indians
are without ambition, preferring to live on
hNNAAhtS oAAo SS4Ch OCdilS duu SuCD T3lS
and lizirds as they can catch, rather than
wor k. Still, many Indians are cultivating
lands. The incentive to agriculture is not
great. The land is poor and dry, and as
the facilities for irrigating are poor little
can be raised, except during the years when
the Colorado overfows its banks, which is
but once in three or five years. Wheat and
corn must both be planted in holes dug
from eight to fifteen inches deep and from
ten to twenty inches apart in order to
secure moisture for their growth
The tribe owns l25 horses, fifteen mules
and twenty-five burros. The agent thinks
that children should be sent away to be
educated, for although the school lasts ten
months in the year the children get back
into the habits of their parents within a
month after they return home.
The Mojaves are fond of gambling, and
use tobacco sparingly. They do not use
Intoxicating liquors to any extent, while
polygamy has died out among them. They
have very loose habits of leaving one
woman for another without ceremony.
Religion is making no appreciable advance
among them.

have made an astonishing number of con-

broken up in consequence.
Cases are numerous where entire FAM

united with the Mormon Church. More
numerous, however, are cases where the
family ties have been broken, where wives
have deserted their husbands and husbands

Many young girls have been induced to
leave their homes and go to Utah. The
feeling is very bitter against them, and an
organized movement to drive them out is
probable.

HEAVY ORDNANCE.
No Bids for the Construction of the
Wire Wrapped Guns.

No Bids for the Construction of the
Wire-Wrapped Guns.
WASHINGTON, August 20th.-The Ord
nance Bureau has brought to the attention
OF the Secretary of War the failure of manu-
facturers to respond to the advertisement
inviting proposals for the construction o
the Woodbridge wire-wrapped gun.
1t is the belief in the Bureau that the
failure to secure bid arose from the fact
that very few. if any, OF the private iron
works are equipped with the plant neces-
sary for the manufacture of this piece of
heavy ordnance. A prime requisite is a
lathe at least fifty-fve feet in length, as the
tube of the gun is to be twenty five feet.
Another advertisement may be issued
but it is believed that it will be necessary
for the Government to undertake the con-
struction of the gun.
Ordnance officers are 10th to do this
however, for two reasons. In the first
place the Watervliet Works, the only shop
under the control of the Government cap.

in regard to Presidential offices, our
policy has been to allow the incumbent to

An Aged Hoosier Goes Without Food for
Sixty-Seven Days.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 20th.-Robert Mar
vel, after fasting sixty-seven days, died this
morning. His case is so extraordinary
that it has attracted the attention not only
OF the curious public, but of the medical
fraternity far and near. He was So years
old. On June 18Th Marvel ate his last
square meal. For thirty-sIx days he took
absolutely nothing into his stomach. On
the thirty eighth he bit off piece of pie,
but did not eat it. On the thirty-ninth day
he drank small quantity of milk, and at
irregular periods he has continued to do so.
All told he has drank not to exceed one
gallon of milk in the 81 days that have
elapsed since he began to fast.
The effect of his abstinence is such as
would be expected. The faster had reduced
himself to a living shadow.
Sores came upon him by reason of his
long confinement, and evidently Marvel
has not only suffered long but severely by
his big fast, which is the longest on record
SO far as known.
