ONE WOMAN'S SORROWS.
Released from an Insane Asylum
to- Find Her Husband Married.

Released from an Insane Asylum
to Find Her Husband Married.
The details of strange story have
come to the knowledge of the public
| in Findlay, Ohio. A bout four years
ago George HOlbrook and wife arriv-
ed in Findlay, and Mr.. HOlbrook, in
| partnership with another mechanic,
| began contracting and has since done
large amount Of work, appar emily
prOsperriug.
Everything went well until a short
time ago, when the firm suspended
operations and now appears to be in
the process of dissolution.
1t appears that some fifteen or
twenty years ago Mr. Holbrook was
married to an estimable lady OF the
Western Reserve, with whom he
lived happily for several years. A bout
thirteen years ago, through some
sickness, the wife lost her reason aud
had to be confined in an insane assy.
lum. The physicians pronounced her
case incurSble after she had been
cared for several years, and her hut
band finally gave her up as one dead
to the world.
Some time before coming to Find
lay the HUSBAND married again, not
deeming, it necessary to procure a
divorce. He lived happily with his
second wife and prospered'
A short time since the first wife re-
gained her reason and was released
from her asylum. Her mind went
at once to her husband, and her feel
ings can be imagined when she found
how time had flown and that ne be-
longed to another. She began action
in The courts for the possession of her
| INTEREST," in his property. If her grief
| was poignant, that of the hus band
was no less so. He was confronted
with the fact that he had inviting
ly committed bigamy. He will, 1t is
understood, commence proceedings
for divorce from his first wife aud try
to prevent an action on her part
which will tend to get him into trou
BILE on account of his second marri-
age. The firms business, which
was few short weeks ago in a pros
porous condition, has now gone to
pieces.

NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.
Plan to Display Pictures of Prominent
People at the Worlds Fair

A Plan to Display Pictures of Promin emit
People at the Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-There has been SUBJ
mitted to the subcommittee on art of the
worlds fair plan for a national portrait
gallery. 1t is proposed to have in it the
portraits of all men and women who have
attained prominence and distinction in the
nation.
The collection would include portraits of
all the presidents all the state governors
the signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, prominent historians, army and navy
officers and inventors. In extent such a
collection would be enormous, but it is be-
lieved that it could be easily secured, as
the various states would feel an interest in
getting it up. 1t is proposed that separate
pavilion be erected, as the collection would
require too much room to be included in
the art exhibit. The plan is we'll thought
OF by such members CT the committee as
have heard Of it.
Director C. L. Hutchinson will bring it
before the meeting of the joint ub-commit-
tee on art, which meets in New York this
week.
