Strange Complaint Entered
at Chicago by a Mime
apOlis Woman.
Allegation That She Was In
Inundated Into a Hateful
Alliance,
With a Gun and a Fear of
Death as the Principal
PepSuadepS.
The Man in the Case Tells an
Entirely Different Story
Of the Affair.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA unique story is
told in a bill brought in the circuit
court today to annul marriage. Caro-
line Meade represents thai in June,
1892, at Minneapolis, Minn., she became
acquainted with James L. Meade, and
and they had quite nice time going to
places of amusement and visiting
friends. Two weeks later Meade pro-
posed marriage, but she declined this
and several other similar offers.
In the latter part of the month, says
the complainant, Meade pulled a revol-
yer from his pocket in her presence and
made the threat that he would certainly
shoot her If she refused to accompany
him to minister to get married. He
also said he would take her life if she
declined by word or act during the
ceremony to become his wife.
Fearing he would carry out his
threats, they went to the house of a
minister in Minneapolis and were pro-
nounced man and wife. This was June
% last. From that time Meade is said
to have gone around to friends an.
nouncing the marriage, while Mrs.
Meade was kept quite as busy denying
that she was his wife. She claims they
have never lived together, and now the
court is asked to legally separate them.
In an affidavit Mrs. Meade says the de-
fendant resides at the northeast corner
of Main and Third avenue in Minne-
apolis.

MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. MEADE was
found at the number indicated in the
telegram, and when shown it laughed
heartily, and said it was not true about
the compulsiOn at the point of revol-
yer. He said he never owned pistol
in his life. He met the complainant
about a year ago, when she was working
in restaurant on Central avenue.
They became engaged about Christmas
and in the spring he suggested it was
about time to get married, and she said
she was ready any time, and he set the
date. Later lie saw her name in the
paper i'll connection with marriage

other fellow, but SAID she didn't want
to get married to HIM.
She gave no reason for engaging her.

to marry defendant. He accordingly
took her to st. Paul next day and mar

lose her, though he used no compulsion.
They returned to Minneapolis and lived

along together pretty well, and he
could give no cause for her leaving.
She was fiighty at times and fond of
going to dances, but as he had to work

inaccessible to those who were not
wanted by the eX-president and his
friends.
The place chosen is all island, Broad
water by name, which lies about ten
miles off the coast of Northampton
county, Va, and is at present owned by
a dozen gentlemen in Philadelphia, who
use it as a place where they can go with
their families for quiet weeks fishing
or shooting.
About ten years ago. says the New
York World, Joseph l.. Terrell, who was
doing some engineering work for the
government at the time, decided that he
wanted an island where ne could do
pretty much as he chose. He applied to
those in charge of the coast survey and
was told the nearest thing approaching
what he desired was an island called
Hogs island, off the coast OF Virginia.
With large amount of ready cash Mr..
Terrell visited the island and proceeded
to buy up tie land. Although the island
is eleven miles long by eight miles wide,
there were only about sixty people
living on it. These inhabitants and
their forefathers had been there since
revolutionary times and had married
and intermarried until they are now
practically one large family. Like their
neighbors of the mainland, from whom
they are supposed to be descended, they
have extremely low. pleasant voices and
courtIy manners. They have few
sheep, which are still allowed to run
over the island, and they plant sweet
potatoes and shoot ducks and snipe and
catch fish for the market. In business
matters they are exceedingly practical
and it takes very sharp man indeed
who does not get the worst end of bar
gain of any kind with them.
AS for morals, they practically have
none and keenIy resent any efforts OH
the part of their more civilized brethren
TO educate or Christianize them. Al
though they have no church, Metho-
dist minister occasionally attempts to
teach them the error of their ways.

copied the position of pastor of Cobb's

our sly contemporary, 1.-THE lntermis-

and to renovate her complexion will

Unfortunately it is not always easy for
young ladies to find opportunities of
taking active exercise after dinner. TO
| meet this difficulty Sir Thomas Watson
used to advise them to play billiards
whenever it was possible. or to dance a
vigorous dance, such as "Sir Roger de
Coverly," when they were staying as
guests i'll a country house. The late
Lord Iversley, who died in his ninety
fifth year, used to attribute his longev-
lty to his habit of playing billiards
for hours together Upon wet days. He
! calculated that during an ordinary game
players accomplish not less than two
| miles every hour. Among the young
! of both sexes there will be few to dis
sent from Sir Thomas Watson's opinion
that balls and dances have salutary
influence upon the health of those who
engage in them StrenuouSly upon all
possible occasions.
