application of woman for divorce
from a dead man. Her first husband
enlisted in the war and was killed. She
married again, and at the death of her
second husband she ascertained that
her second marriage deprived her Of
the benefits of the pension law. Sub
sequently she learned that her second
marriage was bigamous, husband No. 2
having wife living at the time of his
marriage to her. This marriage, she
thinks, can be set aside as null and void,
and then she will be able to procure a
widows pension.

The Cincinnati Times-Star says that
there are fads and fads, and of all these
one of the queerest, in fact one which
will rank in novelty with the fellow
who had mania for collecting boot
jacks. is the fad of which Arnold Isler,
the exchange and literary editor of a
morning paper, is sole proprietor. Mr.
Isler's fad is for collecting paper
weights. The collection is worth see
ing. The things range in size from an
emaciated pill-box to 5oo-pounder re-
quiring to be moved by a derrick. He
is deeply interested in this sort of mat
ter and is adding to his possessions
every day.

Cotton in Flames.

New ORLEANS, April 3.--One of the
most destructive cotton fires ever re-
corded broke out at 10 o'clock this
morning among some cotton on the
sidewalk in front of the fre-proof COM
press ion North Front Sstreet. Those
who saw smoke among the bales gave
the alarm Immediately. The depart
got at work quickly, but the wind was
so high and the cotton SO dry that it
burned like tissue paper.
The district burned over is bounded
by Peters, Front, Thalia and Robin
streets. and the congresses destroyed
ase as follows: Fire Proof Peusoze
Bros, managers, South Front street,
southwest corner of Robin; Shippers
Boyd & Herrick, proprietors, South
Peters street, between Henderson and
Robin; Independence cotton yard,
South Peters street; Orleans cotton
compress, South Peters, between Tha-
liza and Terpsichore. The total amount
Of cotton burned as near as can now be
ascertained is estimated at 80, 900 bales,
held by factors and commission mer-
chants and covered by their open poll
cies. Much of this cotton will be sent
to the pickeries and saved, so that the
total loss will probably not exceed $50
per bale, making total on cotton OF
between 81, 900, 900 and 50, 500, 900. The
loss on congresses and sheds is esti.
mated at $15O,O00. It is thought that
the fire started from a cigarette which
some person threw among the cotton.
