He L...ooed thu Girl.

George W. Campbell, of Chicago,
the son of the millionaire stock dealer,
James H. Campbell, and Miss Helen
Dodd, the daughter of Sir Thomas
Dodd, Of West Derby, near Liverpool,
England, were married at the Young
Mems Christian Association hall in
New York recently. Miss Dodd ar
rived on the steamer City of Rome,
and was welcomed by her prospective
husband, whom she had not seen for
three years.
When Campbell was eighteen years
OF age he ran away from home to be a
cowboy. He remained FIVE years In
Texas, and cultivateds horsemanship
and lariat throwing. He went to
England on business in 1887, and
while in Liverpool he met several of
his former companions, who were
then travelling and exhibiting with
"Mexican .Joe's" Wild West Show, at
that time competing with William F.
Cody. Campbell agreed to give ex-
hibitions of his skill in cropping"
This he did, to the delight of "Mexi-
can Joe" and the performers.
During one OF the exhibitions a box
overlooking the arena was occupied
by an elderly gentleman and a young
lady. The latter became somewhat
excited at the entertainment and
dropped her handkerchief into the
sawdust ring just as Campbell dashed
by. As quick as a flash the cowboy
leaned from the saddle and picked up
the 'kerchief, and wheeling and rising
in his stirrups as he passed the box,
he placed the bit of lace in the lady's
hard. After the performance the
elderly gentleman asked to be pre-
sented to Mr.. Campbell. Explana-
tions followed and on learning OF the
social standing of the Chicagoan, he
was invited to the home of the gentle
man, who was Sir Thomas Dodd. The
lady was his daughter, the present
bride.

An Innovation in Soap Making.
Few realize that one Of the most impor-
tant factors in keeping tho skin In q
healthy condition and free from pimples
and blotches, is the use Of q perfectly pure
soap, free from irritants and noxious In
gredients. Most Of the so-called ''Toilet
Soaps" now made are really injurious, and
many Of the skin diseases SO prevalent are
aggravated by their use.
We take pleasure in calling tho atten.
ton Of our readers to the advertisement OF
the Chesebrough Manufacturing Com
pany, which appears In another column.
This Company are the original discoverers
ana only manufacturers Of vaseline, known
all over the world as the best emollient
and preservative ever manufactured. After
years Of patient experiments. they have
recently been successful In making .
''Vsseline" soap for the skin, which ID
perfectly pure and neutral, and which is
claimed to be the best ever produced.
After having tried 1t, we cheerfully
recommend the "Vaseline' Soap to our
readers. 1t is not only really meritorious
article from medical point Of view, but
also an elegant toilet soap.

a Birdie Music Teacher.

A wren built her nest in box on a New
Jersey farm. The occupants of the farm
house saw the mother teaching her young to
sing. She sat in front of them and sang her
whole song very distinctly. One of the
young attempted to initiate her. After
proceeding through few notes its voice
broke AID it lost the tune. The mother re-
commenced where the young one had failed
and went very distinctly through with the
remainder. The young bird had made
second attempt, commencing where it
ceased before and continuing the song as
long as it was able, and when the notes
were again lost the mother began again
where it had stopped and completed it.
Then the young one resumed the tune and
finished it. This done, the mother sang
over the whole series of notes the second
time with great precision, and again a
young one attempted to follow her. The
wren pursued the same course with this one
as with the first, and SO with the third and
fourth, until each of the birds became a
perfect Songster

WHEELER, Col, March Cone of the
greatest catastrophes in the way of snow
slide, without loss of life, occurred last
night, five miles east of this place, at what
Is known as Wall Cut, on the High Line
division of the South Park railroad, in
which two passenger trains came near
being swept away. A train going west was
running in sections. The first section got
stuck in the snow at Wall Cut, and the
second section came up with two powerful
engines to pull out the first section. Road
master Dobbins was standing in front of the
head engine experimenting the work, when,
in an instant, an avalanche of snow came
down, sweeping him away.
CARRIED SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET.
He was completely covered by the flying
mass of snow and carried distance of sew
eral thousand feet, entirely across the river
and on to the Rio Grande tracks, where he
managed to eXtricate himself with great
difficulty. He was severely injured. The
tremendous volume of snow was piled en-
tIrely over the four engines, putting out the
fires and completely burying the mail car,
IN which were Mail Agent George Roberts
and Baggage Master Mason of Denver. 1t
took some time to extricate the men, but
neither was injured. Fireman Culbertson
was badly scalded.

HOFFEE STILL In HOOK.
THE GRAND JURY OF COwETA RE-
TURNS A TRUE BILL.

| An Expectation that the Case Will
Come Up at This Term Of Court
Desperate Attempts by the Prison
ers Friends to Intimidate Wit
nesses-Story of the Crime.
NEWMAN, GA, March "a true bill has
been found by the grand jury at this term
Of the superior court against Charles T..
Hoffee, charging him with bigamy. twill
be remembered that Hoffee was drummer
for Chattanooga clothing house who last
June secretly married Miss May Cheney,
the beautiful daughter of DIR. Cheney of
Bremen, Ga. Dr. Stacy of this place per-
formed the ceremony at his home after
dark on the night of June 6. Hoffee ex-
cited general suspicion from his desire to
have nothing said about the marriage Miss
Cheney is beautiful and accomplished
young lady, and was at the time going to
school at Shorter college at Rome.
HOFFEE ARRESTED.
Hoffee was subsequently arrested at the
instance of Miss Cheney's parents and
lodged in Carrollton Jail. where he has been
until this morning, when Sheriff Hewitt
brought MIN to this place. He went to tue
hotel wearing his high beaver hat and
patent leather boots, where he registered
for breakfast. after which be was put in
the county Jail to await his Indictment and
trial. Several witnesses were before the
grand jury, including Miss Nays brother
aud brother of his wife, whom he deserted
in OHIO. 1t is claimed that his Ohio wife
has several children by him.
HoFFEE's FAIRY TALES.
He represented himself to DR.. Cheney as
the son of a millionaire, and that he had
$4,000 invested in southern enterprises:
that he was only travelling for the clothing
house for the purpose of seeking first-class
investments; and that his father lived on
Euclid avenue, Cleveland, the handsomest
avenue in the world, and was worth over
81, 0O0,0 600 The truth is that Hoffee is a
poor adventurer, and of very ordinary
standing His parents are humble farmers
in the rural districts of Ohio, and have no
confidence in the schemes of their hayward
son.
THE CHENEYS ARRESTED.
short time ago Mrs Cheney, the
mother, and her daughter. May, were ar
rested at Bremen for burning DR.. Boat
wright's hotel at that place, and it is
thought that Hoffee instigated this proceed
ing 10 force a compromise. Letters have
been sent by Hoffee's friends to his deserted
wife's friends in Ohio, telling them that if
they came south to testify in the case they
will be hung to a tree by mob. This has
made it very difficult for DIR. Cheney to get
testimony to prove Hoffee's previous mar
riage written afiidavits being insufficient to
convict on that charge. The case will
doubtless be tried at this term of court.

a DOG IN THE ORGAN LOFT.
1t Tried to Join in the Singing, but Gre
eted Panic
From the Pitts5uro Press.

From the Pittsb1tr0 Press.
Park Avenue, East End. Presbyterian
church was the scene of an unusual musi-
cal event on last Sunday evening. 1t
caused no little commotion and amusement
among the members of the church choir.
The innocent cause of the disturbance
was little Scotch terrier belonging to the
family of a young lady who acts as the
church organist. He had slyly contrived to
follow his young mistress, unknown TO her,
from home to the organ loft, and, after
securely ensconcing himself in a comfort
able corner, waited patiently for the even
ing service. The organist was very much
surprised, shortly after commencing the
voluntary, to hear succession of sepulchral
groans from the corner. On investigating,
she was completely taken aback on dis
covering the little Scotchy, which jumped
and frisked about, exhibiting its great de-
light. 1t was evident the canine soul was
thrilled with joy, but nevertheless it was
out of the question for him to remain a
member Of the choir, and he was promtly
Ell ected.
This incident over, the choir proceeded to
sing an anthem, but they had not sung
through the first verse when from the out
side was heard the unmistakable bowling of
the undaunted terrier. 1t had returned to
the attack and seemed bent on joining in the
singing by hook or crook. This caused
suspension of music by the choir, as between
the mild panic and laughter created by the
renewed attempts of the faithful animal it
was impossible to go ON. The musical prod
ICY was again ingloriously elected, this time
with more force than affection, and again
the service proceeded.
But il was evident that the canine meant
to stay on till the termination. STILL as the
next hymn was beng sung, the far-off echo
of a now familiar voice was heard from the
back hallway, where he had been banished.
The young people were almost exploding.
Finally the canine musician was dragged
outside and sent home under escort to pre-
vent his return.
