THE PARSON ELOPES
Pretty Mrs. Tappan, a Farmers
 Wife, Went With Him.
PLAINF1ELD, N. J., STIRRED UP.
The Deserted Husbands Furniture Has
 Also Disappeared

The Preacher Led a Double Life-Ho
 Left a Written Confession With His
 Wife that He Was a Bigamist-Wife
 No. 1 Comes from England-The Par
 son's Flock Indignant.
 PLAINFIELD, N. J., July 10-The wife of George Washington Tappan, farmer living about six miles from here on the road to New Brunswick, yesterday left her home, and her husband says she has run away with the Rev. George Hickson Comer local Methodist minister.
 The pair were last seen Sunday. They were in a buggy driving rapidly toward the Lehigh Valley Railroad station at Oak Tree. They have not since been in the neighborhood. Monday truckman carted off MT. Tappan's furniture while the farmer was at work. It is believed the wife had sold it. No one knows where it was taken. MT. Tappan is more grieved over it's loss than over his wifes disappearance. He says Conner is welcome to the wife, but he must have that furniture back if it is in the State of New Jersey.
 12 years Tappan inherited 5000 some years ago by the death of a relative, and he used this money to buy large tract of land and stock his farm. He then deeded the farm to his wife.
 Parson Comer's record was not so we'll known until he left It has just come to light. It appears that he left wife be- hind when he departed so unceremoni- ously. She is housekeeper on a farm ad joining that of MT. Tappan. She says she has a bill of separation from her husband. She found out he had an other wife and three children in England. She holds Comer's written confession to this wife's existence and legal claim upon him. This was the cause of their separation.
 Mrs. Conner Mo- 9 says that her hus- bands first wife is now in New York. She arrived from England few days ago. That is why the parson decided that the climate of Plainfeld did not agree with him. He needed change of air, so he left and took Mrs. Tappan along for company.
 The members of the parsons flock are indignant over his action, and threaten to make it decidedly unpleasant for him should he ever return.

Strange Story of Young Boy Picked UI
 by the Police

Strange Story of Young Boy Picked Up
 by the Police.
 PITTsBURG, July 10.-Charlie Snowden bright little chap of eight summers, fell into the hands of the police about midnight, and told blood curdling tale in such a convincing way that he has been turned over to the Humane Society for safe keeping until the proper authori- ties can be heard from.
 Charlie says his father is profession al thief, holding forth at Wheeling, and because he wanted to train his son as burglar the boy fled to Pittsburg. The lad declares that his father, whose name is George Snowden, is the leader of gang It was their practice to use the lad to crawl through windows and coal holes of the houses they wanted to burglarize.
 If he refused they threatened to kill him. Recently when the gang supposed Charlie to be asleep they one night planned a desperate burglary near Wheeling. The next day the boy heard that the old man they robbed was killed in the encounter.
 Charlie wanted to tell the Wheeling police, but was afraid, so he done tho next best thing and ran away. Inspector McAl eese is confident the boy is not tell / ing fairy tale and he has taken the case in hand.

ARE THEY PUBLISHERS
Government Officials Informed About a
 Mysterious Expedition.


 Mysterious Expedition.
 WASHINGTON, July 10.-A letter has been received by a prominent govern ment official here which appears to give color to the report that a revolutionary movement is being formed in one of our neighboring republics. The writer says that a man calling himself Capt. Annett has been engaged in Norfolk, Va, in shipping men for 8 treasure hunt in Mexican waters.
 The captain said he wanted only 75 men, but the writer is informed that he has shipped over 200. Moreover, he has learned that the vessel which is to carry the party is now secretly engaged in taking aboard large quantity of arms and ammunition at a port on Long Island Sound.
 The writer says he does not want to get himself in trouble, and above all does not want to fight, and although he has signed to go on the expedition, he will withdraw if there is any illegal act in contemplation.
 Officials here are not disposed to at tach much importance to the communi- cation, as they believe that a filibuster- ing expedition would be conducted with more caution than appears to be shown in this case. They are also puzzled to guess the destination of the party if it should be of warlike intent, but the chances are even that it is meant to aid a revolution either in Hayti or Mexico.

ALL SEE THE KAISER
The Guildhall Reception To-
 Day a Magnificent Sight.
TOUCHING ADDRESS OF WELCOME
The Royal Guests Carefully Guarded by
 Militia and Volunteers.

Queen Victoria Attends the Marlborough
 House Garden Party-A Frenchman
 Creates a Sensation at Albert HalI-He
 Was Suspected of Kissing and Roughly
 Handled-Forced to Cheer the Kaiser.
 LONDON, July 10.-The reception of the Kaiser at the Guildhall to-day was one the most magnificent events in the history of London. Those present in cluded all the distinguished members of the Kaiser's retinue.
 The line of procession gave 8 grand op- portunity for everybody to see the young German sovereign. Their Majesties the Kaiser and Kaiserin went to the city from Buckingham Palace by way of the Strand, Fleet street, Ludgate Hill and Cheapside. The route was guarded by militia and volunteers, but there was no more restraint of the people than neces- sary to provide order.
 At the Guildhall the Recorder Of Lon don read an address of welcome, in which touching allusion was made to the Kali ser's father, the late Emperor Frederick, and the Empress mother, both of whom were presented with an address by the city of London on the occasion of their marriage. The Kaiser replied briefly.
 At the Marlborough House Garden party last night, given in honor of the Kaiser, Queen Victoria wore a black dress, with white tablier, white lace shawl and a white bonnet trimmed with small feathers. As soon as Her Majesty arrived the assemblage opened out, forming an avenue through which she walked toward the Prince and Princess of Wales, who advanced to meet her. The Kaiser, who assisted her to alight from her carriage, accompanied her to a seat. After refreshments the imperial and royal psrsonages strolled through tn e grounds.

DIVORCES
 In Connecticut Out of Every 4 Married j Couples 1 is Divorced.

The latest statistics show this to be a solid fact and here in Connecticut, the home of industry, colleges and schools Is there no way of stopping this awful breaking up of homes! Death is prefer able to Divorce; then why not invite a plague here! It is decent to die and there are many undertakers idle. We want new ideas introduc d into family life. The old ones have been tried and found want ing. The fellows with new ideas are per secuted while they live and monuments built to their memory when we Kill them There would be few divorces if we could only learn that no two of us can ever think exactly alike. The reason is that there are no TWO THINGS in the world exactly alike. No two heads are shaped alike; that is why the natter has to keep so many different sizes and shapes. Ther- are no two minds alike, therefore We can not think alike. It is no fault ot ours. Then why blame each other! We don't want to belong to any club, no matter how inviting. They keep us away from home and that helps to break it up, whoever marries our children will have to come and live with us, if we have to build an addition. This is another kind of a di- vorce we don't believe in. Just because q fellow wants to marry our daughter he has got to take her away and break up our home. We wont have it. He has got to come with us ami Wr expect him to be man enough to keep up hls end. But he will be If he meets our approval. We ex pect our sons to bring their wives here al so. Every heart wants to worship some thing; why not worship wives, husbands and children9 We have done our share toward making home pleasant, in few short years we have been the direct cause of reducing the price of furniture to 30 per cent in this vicinity. We are now head quarters for Litchfeld and New Haven counties. Some people do us great injury by buying parlor suit from us for SAP and telling their neighbor that they paid $G5 for it. Another bought silk plush suit for $45 and told their friends that it cost $70. THIS WAS TOLD TO US THIS WEEK FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE. These are lies pure and simple and work great injury to us. If we sell good goods cheap we want the credit of it and ought to have it. We have no reason to grumble because few use us badly THE WHOLE PEOPLE USE US WELL. Our customers are our best advertisers and we have won their kindness by real merit in the way of do- ing them justice, Our Quaker Stoves and Ranges are the talk of the hour. Satisfac tion guaranteed or money refunded. Our Solid Oak Chamber Suits for $22 are per feet gems; solid oak or no sale. Our Baby Carriages are fine and we are selling the best grade at low prices. Now is the best time to buy.

 Investigating Committee To-day.
 PHILADELPHIA, July 10--The order of Common Pleas Court Mo- direc cting H. H. Yard to appear before the councils investigating committee this afternoon was served on Yard, but he will not ap- pear before the committee.

Tho Kaiser Will Not Come Here.

LONDON, July 10.-The news agencies have got hold of a curious bit of gossip and sent it afoat. An officer of the steamship Fuerst Bismarck, in which the Kaiser and Kaiserin voyaged to Helgoland, states that the latter, con- ceiving a new idea, asked the Kaiser: "Would you be willing to go to the United States in the Fuerst Bismarck E" The Kaiser replied, "Do you really think we should go?" Of course it is not at all likely that the German Emperor would ever think of taking such long iourneY
