ONE Wilkinson, Will also shortly be
married 70 Mrs. Charles Manchester, she
having recently been divorced from her
husband. Thus, the divorced wife will
marry the brother of her former hus-
bands wife
The developments Of the romance have
been watched with profound interest by
the society people of this city. The
Macalesters are as prominent in Phlla-
! delDhla society as are the Wllklnsons

WHERE THE wooING BEGAN.
It was during the early part of last
winter that the curtain went up on the
hrst act. The scene was laid in the sun
ny south, whore Mr.. and Mrs. Macales-
ter had lOurneyed. after making a visit to
the home of the Wilkinsons in this city
Later they were joined in their southern
retreat by Walter J. Wilkinson and his
sister, Miss Ollie. Whether it was due
TO the sensuous atmosphere of the semi
tropics, or other influences more mate
rial, everybody seemed to fall head-Over-
ears in love. And while Mr. Manchester
was whispering sweet nothings into the
willing ears of Miss Wilkinson, Mrs
Manchester and Mr.. Wilkinson were too
busy with their own affairs to notice it.
RAPID TRANSIT DIVORCE.
The result of all this was quiet di-
vorce, whereby the bonds of matrimonY
heretofore existing between the Phiiadel-
phia couple were severed. But by the
divorce two other marriages were rem
dered possible

A WOMAN DID IT.
Capt. Magnus Andersen's Wife is Re
sponsible for the Viking.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Capt. Magnus Andersen, commander of
the Viking, then addressed the De Sancto-
Claro society. Said he:
g. got the idea of bringing this viking
ship to America while in New York in
1889, from an editorial in the New York
Herald. ! spoke to my wife about it. She
thought it good idea. ] talked of it to
my friends in Norway when / went back
Everyone thought it a good idea, but
where would the money come from to
build the shipl | wrote letters TO infiu-
entail men all over Norway asking for
money for the ships building, and for
committees to do the business. There was
enormous enthusiasm about the project,
and from May 4, when l sent the letters,
to May 8, we had ninety-one answers by
telegram from all parts of Norway, repre-
senting capital of S10,000,000. So it
seemed that we might go ahead and build
our ship. We started our subscription
on May L. our Liberty day correspond
ing to your Fourth of July, and it seemed
we would very soon have money enough
for every purpose. Then came suddenly
an opposition, which was personal to me
as an editor the conservative press OPP
posed the project. Then all at once the
committees wanted to give it up, the
moneyed men wanted to give it up, the
newspapers went against it, and it looked
as if il would fail. / also thought l would
give it up, and / asked my wife, but she
said: mo, never; the ship must be built;
the ship must go to America" And so l
kept on with it. The people were all,
like my wife, saying the ship must be
built. The idea would not be put down
A people subscription was started which
soon had $4,000 subscribers to it, men,
women and children, working people, who
gave their little mites so lovingly, from
their hearts, for the viking ship to go to
America.
And when the ship was builded came
the question who would sail her. I did
not want to sail the ship, but when
found there was so much opposition to her
| thought l had more interest in her safe
coming than had in my newspaper. and
Norway wouldn't have been happy
place for me if the peoples little viking
boat went wrong. l didn't want to ask
my wife to let me go but she came and
said to me | must go, and il was settled
1t was woman who sent the first viking
across, and woman sent the last as well.

GOV. NoRrHEN AND THE JUDGES.
The Governor Denies the Interview
Recently Ascribed 20 Him.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. Gov Northen to-
DAY sent TO each superior court Judge in
attendance upon the recent convention
held here a letter denying in toto the
newspaper interview i'm which he was
quoted as criticising the action of the
convention This interview made the
governor refer To the judges Of the supc-
rior court as "Figurehead,' and other
wise placed him in an exceedingly pecu-
liar position with reference TO the Judi
ciary. To the MoRNING NEWS COrrepond-
ent. the goveruOr,in speaking OF the letter
he has sent out, said that instead Of crit
icising the work of the Judges convention
he is much gTatitied with il ana wants to
see annual meetings of the judiciary.
The action of the convention, he says,
places him In a position to recommend
many needed changes in the laws 10 the
legislature Without the step taken by
the Judges in convention ne could not, with
propriety, have pointed out to the legis-
lature the revision of the laws which
are demanded. The governor feels very
much chagrinned at thealleged interview.
1t was calculated to make him some for
mi liable enemies, but he says he IS will
ing TO believe that its publication was due
to a misunderstanding on the part Of the
reporter who wrote 1t.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The gates of the
white city will be open tomorrow, that
is, some of them, and so will some of the
buildings, but by far the larger number
win be closed. No programme of music
or special attractions of any kind have
been arranged to make Sunday at the
fair pleasant for the visitors. The res
taurants and the cars on the Intramnrel
railway will not run. The chair pushers
will take day off and so will the
gondOliers and the men who manage the
electric launches. Director General
Davis and President HiggenbOtham have
both gone out of town TO stay over Sunday
and all the offices about the administra-
ton building will be deserted.
The grand jury adjourned sine die
without returning any indictments in
connection with the cold storage ware
house fire. This practically exonerates
the four men held by the coroner's jury.
