young wives in Sorosis, said she had always
wondered why men liked so well to marry
widows until after she was married and saw
how the woman who has been married
knows the secret of married life, which is
adaptability and tact in going around sharp
corners
Don't Ask Him Where He Goes
Lily Devereux Blake suggested as one
rule for marital happiness that the wife
should not always ask the husband where
he was going when he went away and where
he had been when he came back. And as
another the equal division of money, for she
claimed one-half of every dollar the husband
has belongs in the law to the wife. She
told the story of the woman who said:
"When Obadiah said, With all my worldly
goods thee endow,' she didn't know that
it meant one calico dress year" and OF
the man who believed in women having
money to spend and gave his wife all the
butter money. There were eight in the
family and they kept only one cow.
Mrs. Lozier said that in the oneness of
husband and wife, which is the true mar
riage, there must be either compromise or
sacrifice That the true wedlock should be
the composite reproduction Of the sweetest
and best traits in each character. "Woman
has been called the weaker vessel, the cling
ing vine, through all the ages. Now every
ones weakness and strength is in streaks.
Let the strong complement the weak in this
marriage bond. If the wife hasn't enough
strength of mind to get past bargain
counter let the husband guard the e1-
chequer. If the man is extravagant let the
woman keep the purse. Some men never
can save money until they are married"
Then a asweet-voiced, white-haired old lady
rose and talked of love as the solution of the
whole problem, the one and only essential
in the marriage state as embracing all the
virtues that had been named as necessary,
and recompensing all pain. The painted
Cupids seemed to wave their wings in
ecstasy, but the wives all smiled. The
sweet-faced votary of the power of love had
never been married at all.

PUNTAGoRDA, FLA, Jan. 81 Special J.
Tourist sportsmen from the West, now
stopping at the hotel here and engaged in
tarpon fishing, report that they have made
strange discovery upon one of the secluded
islands of Charlotte harbor, off the beaten
track of the steamers and fishing craft.
They found John Gomez, an intelligent
white man living there with his wife in a
palmetto hut, and engaged in raising cocoa
nuts, oranges, bananas and other tropical
fruits. The strange thing about him is that
he is 112 years old, fact well established
by the records of De Soto county, and he
has been living here in this way for nearly
80 years. He has cocoanut trees now bear
ing that he planted out himself on his Goth
birthday He spends his time in agricult-
ural pursuits, but occasionally hunts and
fishes. Mrs. Gomez is rather reticent about
her age, but looks to be all of s. or 80 years
DID,
These tourists had talk with Gomez,
proposing to transplant him, palmetto hut,
cocoanut grove, banana trees and all, along
with his wife, to some warm corner of the
Florida building at the Worlds Fair, and
the old gentleman has consented to 60
under certain conditions. Mr.. John Cross,
prominent citizen of Arcadia, this county,
is interesting himself in this matter, and
will raise fund for the old man Gomez ex-

Steel Skeleton Columns for Buildings.

3 In the construction of high buildings

iron columns previously used out of the mar
ket 1t is found that careful inspection
throughout the process of manufacture will
insure the safety of steel column,
whereas the most careful inspec-

iron column beyond question, as imp ortant
flaws in the metal may be covered by a per-
feet surface. Moreover, steel columns are
more rigid and unyielding than cast iron
ones, which have a much lower limit OF
elasticity.

MRS. BEECHER MEETS A CRANK,
And Like Mrs. Russell Sage, She Forthwith
Puts Her Out.

Puts Her Out.
NEW YORK, Dec 5.-Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher thus describes the visit of beg
ging crank to her house at Orange and Hicks
street, Brooklyn, a few days ago:
''I admitted the woman myself She
was stranger to me and about 40 years
old She told me her rent was due, and
that her children were sick and her
husband out of employment. When
asked her what L could do
for her, she said that / must let her have
Sc at once. When l told her that 1
had not that amount of money in the
house just then, the woman sprang to her
feet and began to abuse me. She went on,
You, you, the rich Mrs. Beecher, mean to
tell me that you haven't got Sc about you?
Aren't you ashamed to lie so?' 1 pointed to
to the door and told the woman to go out,
and after looking at me very hard for few
seconds she went out.
Everybody knows that I am not rich. 1
rent this house. NV income is a modest
one, but it, together with what earn with
my pen, supports me comfortable, that is
all. L have no complaint to make. Every
body from the church and outside the
church is loving kindness ITSELF"

NO REST FOR GARZA'S MEN.
TROOPS AND RANGERS RAID CAMP
OF THE FLEEING ENEMY.

A Corporal Shot by a Picket of His Own
Company-Mexicans Taken to Browns
vile for Trial-Lieutenant Cara, Who
Had Escaped, Surrenders.
Rio GRANDE CITY, TEXAS, Jan. 5-
Corporal Rute, Troop G, Third Cavalry,
was shot by picket of his own company,
at Saline, few days ago. He was brought
to Ringgold, died yesterday and was buried
to-day.
Several revolutionary prisoners, guarded
by a detachment of soldiers and three
deputy marshals, left here for Brownsville
yesterday for trial by the Federal Court
now in session there. A few hours after
their capture a dispatch was received
from Sheriff Glosner, of Edinburg, to the
Post Commander, saving it was reported
that band of mounted Mexicans had been
at Havana Ranch, midway between Ring
gold and Edinburg, and on the route by
which the prisoners were being taken.
In less than 30 minutes Troop c, Third
Cavalry and Captain McNeil's company of
rangers were in the saddle with the under
standing with Sheriff Glosner that they were
TO attack Havana at daylight. The Sheriff
left Edinburg with posse of Is, taking an
operator to establish temporary office. AT
o'clock this morning news was received
from Havana to the commanding officer as
follows, from Langhorn:
\ little after daybreak this morning Cap
tain Mckay, with c Troop, went into the
Jaya pasture. Captain Mcneil with his
company went through the middle OF it,
and with ten men, and two deputies went
into the upper part. Three revolution
ist were chased by the rangers. but
they escaped. 1 ran into a small camp
and got six saddles and brides, but
the owners had just left Captains Mckay
and Mcneil had already caught seven
horses, including the Government horse lost
at the Retinal fight, and two saddles. Sew
eral of the revolutionists crossed the river
during the night, but in such haste as to
leave horse stuck in the mud and the sad
die on the further side.
Lieutenant Thomas Cara, the deputy
marshal arrested by Deputy Marshal Ban
ada before the Retinal fight, and who es-
capped during the skirmish. came in and sur
rendered to the military authorities this
morning. The revolutionists are badly
scattered and everything is comparatively
quiet.
Captain J. G. Bourke, attending Federal
court at Brownsville, wires that he has OBJ
tained valuable information with reference
to persons identified with the CARA move
ment, from the prisoner Cara. General
Cara is said to have become Respondent of
much on Texas soil, and will
probably gather his forces ard go into
Mexico.

An Incident illustrating the Dramatic
Taste Of the Texas Cowboy.
Chicago Press.l
'The smallest and most unappreoiative
audience ever saw" said MI. Tagliapietra,
tine baritone, "was in Marshall, Tex, IA or
ID years ago. 1t consisted solely of IL cow
boys, and they stayed in the house just two
minutes At the end of that time they
showed their want of approval by shooting
out the footlights and leaving the hall.
The stage was rude platform at one end,
raised on horses so that one could see clear
under it. Not more than four or five peo-
pie could go on at once, but we had to have
the $780, and decided to give the show. I
asked Major Cumming, the manager, if he
had any scenery, and he replied with great
dignity that he most certainly had. When
we came around at night was dumfounded
by discovering that the scenery consisted of
common sheets tackled up at the rear and
sides of the stage. There was no curtain,
and dozen kerosene oil lamps served as
footlights. There was no use kicking, so
we got ready to produce 'Ia Favorita"
under these conditions.
''There was not soul in the house when
we commenced, but we were told the audi
ence was across the street getting drink,
and would come over after we got to work.
In few minutes they came-12 tall, lank-
looking cowboys, with their trousers in their
boots, broad sombreros, clanking spurs, pis-
tolls in their belts and lantern in the right
hand of each man-stalked noisily in, and
sat down on the frame benches. Poor Litta,
who was on the stage, nearly tainted, so
hastened on the first chorus and rushed as
many people on the stage as we could The
rest stood around on the floor. The cowboys
listened patiently until they could make
themselves heard, when the leader sang out:
''Say, Muncher, amt there nothin' spec
tackler in this show?"
IT replied very deterentially that we were
welded to music and that Tagliapietra's
Grand italian Opera Company was not given
to tights. A look of great disgust spread
over the leaders face as he said
"Thunder! Boys, let's mosey,' and,
drawing out his pistol, shot out the lamp
nearest without spilling a drop of oil. Each
man followed suit till the lights were all ex-
tinguished; then gravely picked up their
lanterns and courteously invited us all over
to take drink. They stalked out as
gravely and silently as they came i'm

sCALP-GRAFTING EXPERIMENT.
1t Does Not Work in One Case, Blu. tn,
Uncovered Part. Is Healing

1t Does Not Work in One Case, But the
Uncovered Part. Is Healing.
NEW YORK, Jan. Mrs Minnie Wick
was scalped on December 26, 1890, by her
hair being caught in the machinery of a
laundry. She was taken to Bellevue
Hospital, where the doctors decided
to try skin grating. More than half the
part exposed healed under the skin-graft-
ing treatment and now only place about
5x4 inches remains open. Over that, how
ever, the grated skin refused to adhere
and two months ago the doctors decided to
abandon the experiment and leave skin to
form of its own accord.
Dr. Glisan, who is in charge of the case,
said Yesterday that granulation had ceased
and that the epithelium promised to cover
the raw places He declined to say when
the patient might leave the hospital, but
he thought if she continued to improve as
she had improved during the past few
weeks that the wound would be entirely
healed before the end of the year.
