PECULIAR INFATUATION.
Different Methods of following
the Injunction Love One
Another"

Do men ever fall in love with each otheri
Women do Not long ago young
woman in New Jersey was married to .
youthful laborer on her fathers farm.
Sometime afterward it was discovered that
the husband was a female; the young wife
refused, however, though earnestly en-
treated by her friends, to give up her
chosen consort. The strangest part OF the
discovery was the fact that the bride knew
her husband was woman before she was
led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange infat-
uation for one of their own sex, they at
least oftentimes give evidence OF the TACT
that they love one another. There are
many intances on record where one man
has given his life for another.
1t is proud possession-the knowledge
that one has saved precious human life.
Meriden, Conn. is the home of such happy
man. John H. Preston, Of that city, July
1lth, 1890 writes: Give years ago was
taken very sick, had several Of the best
doctors, and one and all called it COM
plication of diseases / was sick four years,
taking prescriptions prescribed by these
same doctors, and l truthfully state l
never expected to get any better. Al 'n's
time, commenced to have the most
terrible pains in my back. One dsy an oid
friend of mine, Mr.. r. T. Cook of the firm
of Curtis g. Cook, advised me to try
Warmers Safe Cure, as be had been troubled
the same way and it had effected . cure
for him. I bought six bottles, took the
medicine as directed and am to-day well
man. am sure no one ever had worse
case of kidney and liver trouble than had.
Before this / was always against pro-
prietary medicines but not now, oh, no."
Friendship expresses itself in very
peculiar ways sometimes; but the true
friend is the friend in need

Bit me, too.

The old doctor and the old captain were
fast friends, both inveteratc jokers, and
both despite their aggregate six score

frightful stammer did not seem to impede

One afternoon the old men set out on q

american association Next Season.
Prospects for good ball in Washington
next season are bright, and the gentlemen
who have the forming of club in hand
say that our city shall not bring up the
rear in the American Association, to which
the Washington Club will be admitted.
Last night, at u meeting of the organ
izers of the club, Mr.. Robert NJ. Drinkard
was made chairman and Mr.. Thomas b.
Kalbfus secretary.
The meeting was largely attended, and
an informal discussion of the affairs of
the proposed organization was the chief
order of opening, but soon solid business
was gotten down to- when Mr.. Charles V.
Trott nominated Mr.. Henry b. Bennett
for president of the club, it already having
been decided that an organization was
necessary. Mr.. Bennett was elected unan-
imously, and Mr. August Mencken vice
president; Mr.. Thomas b. Kalbfus secre-
tary; Mr.. William O'Donncll, treasurer.
Directors were chosen as follows: Presi-
dent Bennett, as chairman er-oFcio;
Michael b. Scanlon, John J Hogan, Edwin
Sutherland, Frank Smith, Charles V.
Trott and DIR. G. NJ. b. Harris.
After the election, Messrs. NJ. d. Sean
Ion, II. b. Kalbfus and Edwin Sutherland
were, appointed a committee to draft a
constitution and bylaws and secure a
charter. This work will be completed as
rapidly as possible.
The question of suitable grounds was
discussed at some length, and Mcssrs A.
:. Johnson, Charles V. TrOtt, Justin Nc
earthly and NJ. b. Scanlon were appointed
committee to select suitable grounds.
Mr.. Scanlon said he was satisfied that
he knew of a tract of twenty-five acres
convenient to a car line which could be
secured upon reasonable terms. He be-
lieved this tract offered more combined
advantages than any which could be
found. The committee will go to work at
once and hope to be able to have their
plans matured in time to report to the
meeting to be held Friday evening next.

James Lynch, G5 years of age, and q la
borer by occupation, committed suicide
last night by hanging himself to a post of
the fence at the rear of his home, 1921
. street northwest, near Georgetown Col
lege.
Lynch has been widower for number
of years and occupied u two-story frame
house alone. He was addicted to drink
and at times acted strangely, which led
some to believe that he was dementcd.
At an early hour this morning persons
passing the rear entrance to Lynch's house
saw the body hanging to the post and gave
the alarm. In short time O large crowd
had collected, and Sergeant Tunnel of the
Seventh Precinct station put in an appear
ance. lie cut down the body and removed
il To the house.
The body, when found, was hanging to
the post with the toes just touching the
ground. Around the neck was Il piece o
the calico shirt that had been worn by
Lynch, He did not wear q coat, and his
hat was found lying by his side. The
fence post was Just about the height of the
suicide-siX feet. Lynch at one time had
been powerfully built man, but his form
had lost its robustness through intemper-
ance and exposure. lie worked one time
at Oak Hill Cemetery, The house in
which he lived gave indications of ex-
treme squalor and poverty, II is supposed
that Lynch hanged himself between 3
and II o'clock last night.
Coroner Patterson viewed the body and
decided that an inquest was unnecessary.
