MISS ALLlSON'S STORY.

ATCHIsON, Kan, July 25.-Miss Lizzie
Allison, of Indiana, Pa, who is supposed
to haye left her home for the purpose of
clipping with Smith Harold, of Efing-
ham, Kan, barber has been in this city
the past three days, awaiting the trial of
Harold, charged nth adultery, which is
being continued from day to day because
certain witnesses are absent
1t was not known that Miss Allison was
in the city until this evening when she was
found at the home of a friend. She said:
Il am sorry that my name has been con-
nected with an affair of this kind and do
not think it best to talk on the subject,
but as the affair has been commented upon
to such a great extent, Twill give a true
version of it. Ny name is Lizzie Allison.
! am sister of Belle Allison, whose
nome was in the Associated Press
dispatches. That was probably mis-
take made by the press reporter. ! left
Indiana, Pa, June 10, and arrived in
Atchison June %. | met Smith Harold
last September for the first time We be-
came acquainted while he was visiting at
Indiana, Pa. He took me to the opera
several times, but always with third
person. He left for Kansas in a short
time. Soon after Harold left my sister
Belle fell out with me on accocnt
OF the settlement o. my 1dtner
estate, which left my share greater
than Bellies. We quarreled a great
deal and | finally made up my mind to
leave home and go to Kansas. where l had
always wanted to 90. Before leaving l
telegraped to Harold to meet me in Kan
sas City, as | knew no one in the west. He
met me there and escorted me to Atchisop,
where ] remained from June % to -, when
went to Muscotah, Kan, where how're
side. | knew Harold was a married
man; knew his wife had applied
for a divorce; am not engaged to
Harold and never expect to be. l
have money and will invest in Kansas
propertyif | decide to remain here. The
reports to the effect that | have been init
mate with Harold are maliciously false
He has always treated me in a gentleman
ly manner and only called upon me three
times since my arrival in Kansas. He
has been kind to me in looking after
my wants, and / gave him $50 for
time and money expended in my be-
half | think that l am the victim of
willful, malicious persecution, and the
chief actor is my sister Belle. There has
been no neighborhood talk about the ac-
riOns of Harold and myself. and, as
and Muscotah are only five
miles apart there would have been plenty
of gossip had anything been wrong"
The case is attracting great deal of at
tentiOn and it Is rumored that money will
be used to get Il settlement of the case
without trial.

PARKERsBUEG. w. Va, July 25.-News

James Curly, the venerable director of the
Georgetown college observatory, died last
evening at 6:20. Father Curly had been
ailing since February last with a cold,

that he could not shake it Off Shortly
after the centennial celebration of the col

shock TO his nervous system caused by the
accident. Yet he never fully
rallied, and always kept to his
room in the infirmary building
Father Curly, up to within year OF his
death, had been director of the George
town observatory. He was the instructor
of many men afterward famous in this
country and in Europe. 1t was under his
direction that Father Secchi, the illus
trious Italian astronomer, first devoted
his attention to the professor in which he
made for himself such a name This ven-
cradle man was in his 93d year at the time
Of his death, and was one of the most in
teresting characters in the college. He
was born in RoscommOn county, Ireland,
October %, 1886, and was at the time OF
his death the oldest priest in America,
perhaps III the world. He was connected

Closing Exercises /.


Correspondence of the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE
MARKHAM, Fauquier CO., Va, June IT,
The commencement exercises of Cleaveland
High School, near Markham, in Fauquier
county, occurred on. last Friday evening,
when an interesting programme was rem.
dered.
By the unanimous assent of the audience
the boys acquitted themselves handsomely
Their speeches were without exception well
prepared and gave evidence of thorough
training. The play, LEND me FIVE chill
ings." WAS extremely ludicrous, and the au'
dience evinoed their appreciation by fire..
quent commissions of laughter.
The boys seemed supremely happy with
their blue ribbon certificates and numerous
bouquets.
Messrs. Frank G. James. Basil M. Mar
shall, Lindsay G. Marshall. A. r. Niche
and Winston T. Niche were declared en-.
titled to sheepskins, having passed every
examination.
Excellent music was furnished by the
Front Royal Band and by chorus of boys
After the exercises the audience was in
vited into the dining hail. where the table,
decorated with the most gorgeous flowers
was ready for any demands that might be
made upon it.
Then came the final ball, of which we
should like to give a full description
but space forbids. Suffice it to cay that
all the beauty and grace of the sur.
rounding country was present and kept up
the "merry round" till ''old Sol" arose and
declared the exercises at an end. Z.
