A Life Secret Revealed bv Death.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. l4.-Sensa-
tional developments have followed the
recent death of aged DR.. G. s. Smith. in
this city. where he was highly esteemed.
Here he amassed considerable property
and lived alone as q bachelor. DR.. Smith
came to Olympia two years ago from
Llano. Tex. where he had been a practic-
ing physician for seventeen years, and
was reputed to be one of the best in that
section of the country. Those in this
community who knew him IN Texas speak
in the highest terms of HIM. 1t appears
from a will made last April and
other papers found in his desk that bis
name was not Smith, by which
name he had been known nearly twenty
years in Texas and this city, but that his
name was s. G. Thompson, and that he
WAS formerly county treasurer of Decatur
county, Iowa In 1872, while holding
that Office he became a defaulter for a
LARGE sum of money, and the alternative
stared him In the face either to abscond
or stand trial. He fed. and IN a little
while afterwards settled in Llano, Tex,
upright lite and was looked upon as a

dead by his wife and children in Iowa
and, indeed, by all citizens IN Decatur
county save one, Ed X. Pittmanu, with
whom he had recently been communicate
ing.
In his will he leaves one-half of his
property in this city. worth 81 900, to his
children. and the other halt to the suffer.
ers on his bond as county treasurer of De.
catur county, Iowa. His wife and three
children are at Leon, Iowa. He left az
affectionafe letter to be sent to the chill
dren and directed that his body be buried
without ostentatiop or display. with little
expense, in the most obscure corner of the
Masonic cemetery. A Masonic emblem OF
high degree was found on his key ring.
IL is not known exactly how much his
detalcation amounted to, but in a paper
left behind by the doctor he states that
bis ruin was brought about by professed
friends. The matter is supposed to have
preyed upon the mind of the unfortunate
man. and as he grew older was the means
of Fastening his death. He was buried

by the reports which Lord Salisbury has
lately gathered from our representatives
abroad. In Vienna, it seems, licenses
are granted by the police to itinerant
musicians. but only to those who are I'M
able to earn their livelihood by any other
means. In Paris anybody wishing to

apply for a license TO the project of po-

of good character accompany the appli-

interest Of art perform on musical in

or in courtyards," require a license from

money leads to the theory that the fire

Husband and Wife Parted by a Girl of
Masculine Propensities.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 30.-A suit for
divorce has been entered in the district
court which calls to mind the escapades of
a rather notorious Minneapolis woman.
The complainant is Mary L. Cole. She
states that she was welded to Geo. F. Cole
at Anoka, Mimi, in 1882. They have one
child, named Geraldine, who is now two
years of age. The wife is twenty-three
years of age, and her erring husband has
seen thirty years of ups and downs in this
cruel world, but this is but a prelude.
Some months ago, it will be remembered,
one Nellie King. a young lady of uncer-
tain social standing and masculine propen-
sites, took it into her head to do the
cowboy act. She was noticed first driving
about the city, with a broad. brimmed hat
set jauntily on her curls, in a training
sulky, and often her fair form was the CEN
ter of mary glances as she rode about the
streets on the backs of fiery Kentucky
steeds. 1t WAS during these days that she
met and loved George, the defendant, not
w~ithstanding the fact that he was the prop
erty of another woman. Soon she appeared
to tire of the conventional mode of eques-
trian exercises. and after dark tried it a la
clothes-pin. She appeared to like this so
veil that ahe donned male attire and went to
Saltwater, and George went with her. Here
they were arrested for disorderly conduct and
suffered the Inconvenience of a 1ne. From
there they went to Dakota and started in
the bad cowboy business, with such sue
cess that they earned a widespread reputa-
ton as horss-thievss and were pursued.
The lady was captured, although the man
escaped. During all this time, it appears.
pleasure as man and wife. If the COM
p%lainant ia to be believed George did not
form himself into a r~escuing party for the
purpose of tearing his inamorata from the
at once to the British possessions, where he
now is safe from pursuit. His wife objects
to being longer united in matrimony to Il
gentl. man of his dime novel proc! ivities. and
some tender-hearted judge will be asked to
quicker. Meanwhile the fair Miss King
continues to be an object of great solicitude
to the guardians of Flour City virtue.

BORN IN THE Sky.
Why Fishes and Frogs Come Down In
Showers.

A writer in Natures Realm says that
little fishes may be Matched in the clouds.
What he says about it is so interesting
that his whole letter is herewith given:
Il observe a reference made in the
american Angler touching upon showers
of fishes, in which it states that science
has not yet fully explained the phenom-
ena. This is perhaps slightly incorrect
Several causes have been suggested.
Might it not very probably be that fish
and frogs which fall apparently from the
skies are really bred there?
water fowl, it is known, very fire.
quently carry eggs of fish to great dis
tances, having swallowed them, and i'll
their flight disgorging the same unframed
where they can and do fructify and ma
ture in water over which these birds pass.
The eggs of many old fish are very gluti-
nous, and readily adhere to substances
brought in contact with them during
particular times of their incubation. Is
it not very probable that not only do these
birds convey ova upon their wings as well
as in their crops, and when flying at
great heights the ova, becoming detached
from the wings, may remain suspended
in the moist atmosphere, which is quite
possible under certain conditions of at
mospherical pressure, and that when
under development they become too
heavy and naturally fall to the earth, as
frequently witnessed?"

Rich Mems Wives,

was speaking few days ago to the
wife of one of our rich men, of her social
duties, and she said with sigh that she
wondered that she was not completely
exhausted I'VE go to our country place
on Long Island, she said, Sin the middle
of May, and for month before that time
l look forward to our departure exactly
as my boys look forward to vacation
season. Look at my card receiver; there
are 100 cards, at least, and every one of
those calls | must return within week.
"Sometmes start out in my carriage
at / o'clock and come back at 6, having
made l do not know how many alleged
calls, and am perfectly exhausted. The
calls are absurdities. 1t is simply How
do you do? What miserable weather! !
A brief chat for perhaps three or four
moments, and then leavetaking, with
the experience repeated at the next
place, and SO on throughout the after
noon.
Il feel sorry for my husband, who
comes home tired from business, and who
desires to see his family in good spirits,
because | am too tired to entertain him
as he should be entertained. Then there
is the trouble with the children. My
oldest daughter, when she came out of
boarding school and made her debut, as
they call it. conceived a notion that she
was thereafter to be the head of the
house: but could not permit that, and
made up my mind that my younger
children should get no such silly notions
into their heads.
80 | have trained them to remain
young, and | tell you it is no easy task
to do that with the examples which they
see about them with their mates. | do
not see, however, any relief from this.
unless we stay in the country all the year
around, and that would be dismal. More
over, among my acquaintances are many
very charming women who feel, as do,
the artiticialty and perfunctornesso of the
social customs of this city.
The wife of a wealthy man who tries
to maintain on his behalf any sort of
position in society here has a hard time
of it, assure you and wonder that so
many stand the strain and keep their
good looks as they do. 1t would be inn
possible not to break down if we had to
undertake any of the cares of housekeep-
ing in addition, and it is my theory that
the first essential for getting through
social season with success is the presence
of a competent housekeeper who will re-
lieve the wife of every bit of responsible
ity.- N. Y. Correspondent Philadelphia
