coURTED HIS OWN WIFE.
A Queer Romance in Which a Illus.

A Queer Romance in Which a Hus-
L band Finds His Boyhood Spouse.
A marvelously queer story of the re
union of a long separated husband
and wife without themselves knowing
their former relations comes from St.
Petersburg and eclipses in its strange
circumstances the widest invention
of the novelist.
More than II years ago Michael Val
tide, then a schoolboy, fell in love
with a pretty girl of his own age in
Hungary and they married after a
short acquaintance, The parents oil
Yaltidze, when they heard of the
match, sent him to America under
an assumed name. He settled in AL.
ALBANIA, where the iron discoveries 0
the past few years enabled him to
make a fortune.
He fell in love with an American
girl and wished to marry her. He
commissioned a lawyer to obtain
the necessary documents and witnesses
to insure a divorce from his boyhood
wife and started for Russia to see
the matter through.
He stopped in London, Paris, and
finally Wiesbaden, where he made
the acquaintance of a charming Rus.
sian lady, who soon supplanted the
American girl in his affections. He
prolonged his visit for weeks and
some scandal arose.
He declared his passion and asked
her to marry him as soon as he OBJ.
tanned a divorce from his American
wife, which he said, he was expecting
by each mail. He was incautious
enough to give the name and address
of the American girl he called his
wife.
Finally he hurried on to Russia to
see how tae case against his real wife
was progressing. The lawyer inform.
ed him that the case was all right, and
no perjury would be needed, as hel
misconduct was notorious. He said
the wife had been living some time
under a stage name at Wiesbaden ,and
had recently been VIGOROUSLY init
mate with a wealthy American, Civ
ing his client his own American alias.
The amazed Yaltidze demanded thai
he stop his silly joking, but the law.
yer declared he was in earnest, and
called in a detective to corroborate
him. The latter entered.
What did you say was the name
of the gentleman who was intimate
with Madame Y. in Wiesbaden; and
is correspondent in a divorce case p
"His name is X, but that's the gen.
tleman himself there"
What do you mean, you scoun
drel?" shouted Yaltidze, and then,
fixing his eyes upon the witness
why you are the BLACKBOARD Threat
ened to thrash in Wiesbaden if ]
found you hanging about my lodging
any more"
Yes, sir, | was engaged to watct
Madame Y's movements in Wiesbaden
that's why l logged her steps and
yours. The lady is willing enough t.
get a divorce. She has a promise O
marriage, she says, from an Amer
lean millionaire"
When Madame Yaltidze heard tn,
story she wiote a sweet letter t,
her husbands alleged wife in tn
United States, introducing herself a
that lady's successor, and asking to b
informed of the result of the divorc
case. Then she instructed her lawye
to u her husband for alimony on
high scale and to assert that she knee
all along her paramour was her lor
and master. Yaltidze has disappeaI
ed. The brother of the American gi
is prepared to shoot him on sight.

Decrease in Mill Construction No
ticeable-Woollen Industry at
a Standstill.

The Tertite Worlds annual report of new
textile mill construction for 1893 contains
some very interesting facts. The figures of
this year are of peculiar interest because of
the change of administration in the Govern
ment. The year 1892 was the greatest year
of progress in the textile manufacturing in
terests in the way of new construction in the
history of the industry, and it is but fair to
state that a very large proportion of the new
mills in the report of 1898 were projected
and well under way in 1892, but were not
sufficiently advanced to justify their appear
ance in the report of that year, for the basis
upon which the reports are compiled is to in
clude only such enterprises as have been COM
pleted and gone into production during the
year under consideration or which are SO far
advanced that they will begin production in
the first three months OF the succeeding
year.
In regard to engagements ana improve
ments the report adheres to the custom OF
including in the list only the more important
ones, for there is hardly a mill that keeps
in the line of progress that does not make
minor improvements from year to year to
increase Its production, decrease cost, and
very frequently increasing the amount of
output with thes anne SPINDLE capacity, owing
to more modern machinery.
The summary of new mills for 1898 shows
172, employing Ii, 100 people, as against 272
employing over 10000 people in 1892.

AS previously announced, the celebrated

he entered the pulpit yesterday morning he
was greeted by a large and enthusiastic
audience. The unusual thing about this SER
vice was that the interest rose SO high that a
goodly number of adults came forward to
the altar for prayers.
The preachers subject was:-sHaye Faith
in God" He kept his audience ON the tip

his sermon without announcing the text until
the last thing.

to giving the beautiful melodies of %Precious

to the altar.
At night the house was crowded, notwith-
standing the inclement weather. The sing
ing was lusty and it was soon evident that
an old-fashioned Methodist meeting was on
hand. Mr.. Harrison preached on the text
''Undertake for Me- It was a mastery

The invitation for seekers stirred the audi

HHE COMPANY TO BLAME.
The Rev. DIR. Mitchell breaches of
the d., L. e. w. R. n. Wreck.

The Rev. David Mitchell of the Scotch
Presbyterian Church, last night preached a
vigorous sermon on the topic "Are Not Many
Disasters crimes?o
The announcement that Mr.. Mitchell
would preach a sermon on such a timely
topic, attracted a large number of people to
the church. The pastor dealt with the
recent terrible calamity on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad in which
eleven people lost their lives and many others
were injured. In leading up to the subject,
matter of his discourse, the pastor referred
to the many Improvements the country
boosted of, and he declared that
with such improvements there certain
ly should be the same advance in
the matter of providing safety for travellers.
''The question arises" he said, What
causes these calamaties, and II there is blame
where is it to be placed? 1t seems evident
this railroad wreckage and these other losses
result from the violation of law. We are
ready to say that every such calamity arises
from some law being broken. In the case of
the Delaware, LaeKawanna and Western
wreckage this is obvious. There is a train
in the fog running at full speed. 1t is Known
to the engineer that there is a train ahead.
He does not slacken speed. Tn road has not
adopted the block signal system which has
proven such a safeguard on other
lines. There is no one to
warn the rapid train of the
stoppage of the train in advance. All goes
well for the moment, but then the fearful
crash is heard, and then rise shreaks from
the tortured and dying. Would we call this
an accident? Would we say it is an event
arising from causes which could not be fore
seens Why, there is violation OF law all
around. The road breaks an obvious law in
not having safeguards and watchers at this
place of danger. The driver sets all law at
defiance by not checking his train long be-
fore this point is reached. And who is re-
sponsibles"
ssAre we to blame the man driving the en-
CINE and then rest satisfied. What good
will this do. Is not the company clearly re-
sponsible for permitting a train to advance
at such a rate in a fog, and not have a sys-
tenn of signals to render such an event inn
possible. We call this a crime of negligence.
It is a crime against common sense. 1t is a
crime against Christian principles, and so
we believe it is with most of these disasters.
The steamers intended for our BEN
eft become our murdererS. Elec-
tricity, the grandest power We know
of for generating and controlling
force, is the slayer of human beings. Rail-
roads, the highways of civilization, become
down grades to eternity. Machinery, every
where in motion to produce food and cloth
ing and comforts, is Staying every day its tens
of thousands.
In conclusion Mr.. Mitchell advised that all
people who are alive and well and enjoying
the blessings of the earth should prepare
themselves SO as to be ready to meet death at
any moment

OF GROWTH OF COTTON MANU-
TURING BY ATE

Tt will be seen by the above table that this
year the South leads in number of new mills,
and very slightly in the spindle capacity.
There are 81 new Southern mills, with 193, LOG
spindles and 4, 1886 looms. North and South
Carolina show the greatest progress. Massa-
chusetts shows the greatest increase in spin
die capacity OF any State in the Union, for
its ID new mills have a capacity of 1926 0
spjndles and 1898 looms, which is only 1000
spindles short of the growth of the entire
South.
Many of the new mills reported in the
South are for spinning and weaving finer
counts than has been attempted before in
that section. The growth in the Northern
States has been in the line of finer goods.
Five new mills have been erected i'll Fall
River, containing 100, 600 spindles and $500
LOOMS. Four new mills are reported from
New Bedford, two of which are yarn mills
of 81, 900 spindles each, the third of an adj
ditional weaving mill for the Wamsutta
Mills 800 looms on fine goods, and a new
cotton roping and banding industry
The new mills in Pennsylvania are in the
line of damasks, bed spreads and similar
fabrics, and are all weaving mills.
1t is a matter of interest that one new mill
reported, the Admission Cordage Co., making
warns, cords and webbing, is operated entire
" by electricity, being the only cotton mill
in the country depending entirely upon this
motive power.

REV. MR.. DAILY ON HAWAII.
Interesting Discourse at Centenary VI.
Il. Church Last Night.

Interesting az centenary WI
Il. Church Last Night.
The Hawaiian question was the subject of
a rmo by Rev. Joseph Daily at the Cen
tenary NJ. E, Church last night.
s'The prosperity of Hawaii, : he said, ss"has
been interrupted several times by the Jealous
desire to secure possession OF the part of for
eign powers. Previous to 1874 the French
undertookSto seize the Government and COM
pei the natives to embrace the Roman Catho-
lie doctrines. This was resisted, as the Con-
gregationalists from England and America
had been many years on the soil and the peo-
pie adhered to Professionalism. The incident
was closed by the withdrawal of the French,
and since 1874 the islands have had their
own monarchs to contend with. The last,
the Queen, undertook to overstep her COLI
s~titional powers and was d~ethroned. She is
living in Honolulu by sufferance of the Pro-
~visional Government, and yet threatens to
behead its leaders if she gains the ascenden-
cy.
ssThe Lord is rapidly wiping out the last
traces of barbarism. A few years ago these
people fought one another like wild animals.
The change has been wrought by Christian
influence.
s'The deposed Queen is not even a fair spec
linen of her race. Revenge is sweeter to her
thar government. The better class of
Hawaiians, the Christian natives are striv-
ing to rectify the results of many generation,
of heathenism. The large, ugly gods that
were worshiped in 1915 are seen no more.
The influx of Americans has brought in a
new atmosphere, social, moral and political.
On the Islands, besides the natives, are many
Americans, Europeans, japanese and Chin
csc.
sThe nations are watching the new Gov
ernment-the Republic of the Pacific. There
is not a man of heroic instinct anywhere who
would not stand for the defence of the plucky
little Government in the Pacific"

In private life, persons who have
any kind of decent feeling might con-
tributs largely to stop this form OF
brutality. The man who is convicted,
on his own admission or otherwise, of
poisoning a harmless animal should
be driven out of decent society as a
pestilentiai reptile. 1t is impossible
that such a man should be anything
but evil and vicious in all his rela-
tions, and society owes it to itself to
put its brand upon him. We believe
that the man who would surrepti-
tiousIy poison adog would cheerfully
strangle a child if the temptation
were put in his way. He would beat
his wife and cheat his brother. He
has no heart and no conscience. He
is an enemy of humanity and should
be treated with the utmost rigor by
every member of the social and
criminal law.
