Tho telltalo blush. I'd have her gentle, meek.
Can you inform me what's the thing seek2

Without her love I'll perish quick" quoth he.
Come, help me out of my extremity"
Take this" replied tho ancient patriarch,
Producing vial filled with fluid dark.

And swiftly to the maid he loved he few,
But ho was back In weeks that numbered two.

I'd like some more, for this Is not enough"
"Whatl" cried the old alchemist, In huff,
"Does she not love you-long TO be your bridei

"You little know the ways OF men," he cried.

A Rotary Steam Cloth Press.

Important advantages are claimed for
rotary steam cloth press invented by
veteran machine builder, the improve
ment consisting of novel arrangement
of the pressers which insures largely
increased amount Of pressing surface.
The apparatus utilizes nearly the entire
surface of the greatly enlarged main
cylinder as pressing surface by means
of series of small pressers, some ten in
all, these being ranged about the periph-
cry OF the cylinder, and are capable
of operation at any degree of pressure
that may be required. Thus very pow.
erful pressure may be applied when nee
essary, much greater, it is claimed, than
can be obtained by the ordinary device
with the double presser. By means of
such mechanism the wear and tear
upon the cloth is largely diminished

When planted no account is kept of the

made OF the cost, but the crop is sold as

whom is a candidate for the Presidency
entered into a conspiracy with the Min
lister of War to overthrow President Con-

by the Minister OF the Interior and the
Chief of Police, was entering Congress
in Assumption he was suddenly sur
rounded and arrested by armed men,
who compelled him to resign his office.
The Vice. President, who is a nephew oil
General Caballero, at once assumed the
power OF President. The object of the
coup d'etat was to destroy the official
candidacy of DR.. Decond, Paraguay's Is
Minister to Uruguay. A fight for spoils
between the three gentlemen who want
to be President will probably commence
in July during the election of electors.
The Vice President favors his uncle,
General Caballero, while the Minister OF
War wants General Egusguida to sue
ceed and the Chief Of Police supports
General Escobar. Dire,t telegraph wires
from Paraguay have been cut, and COM
munication is interrupted. kilograms

litical movement. Whatever the issue
OF any such affair, the peoples wishes

Woman Who Marched Thirteen Men to

Mrs. Marie Lemon, who died in Ala
media, Cal, tho other day, had perhaps the
most remarkable series Of matrimonial ex-
periences on record. She was once very
beautiful and had charm of manner that
made her particularly attractive to men.
She was fond of men, too, and swore to
love, honor and obey at least 13 different
ones. Mrs. Lemons sister, Mrs. Rachael
Neal, confesses that she could not begin
to tell half her sisters husbands" She
remembers 10, however, and gives to the
San Francisco Examiner the following ac-
count of them:
"Her first marriage was when she was a
little over IA years of age She ran away
from her home in Cincinnati with news
boy named David Black. They were both
young and soon got tired Of each other,
and Marie came home
1.-The next one who fell victim to her
wiles was Henry Snyder of st. Louis
Snyder was a stone merchant and was
struck with Marie's beauty when he first
met her. She was still young girl, and
Snyder determined to make her an accom-
plished woman and develop her into the
kind OF wife he wanted. He knew nothing
of her first marriage. She was given an
elaborate education at his expense. She
was taught music, all of the fine arts and
the little accomplishments that go to make
up the brilliant society woman. Snyder
wanted wife that would shine in society,
and he got what he wanted, but in trying
| to train up the kind Of wife he wanted he
laid the foundation for his own undoing.
1t did not take her long to learn the power
that he had given her, and then they sepa-
rated, and my sisters remarkable life real
ly began at that point.
"When she left Snyder, she married
Charles Fairchild, who ran steamer on
the Ohio river. She came back to Cincin-
natl to do that. They lived together for
nearly year, and then Fairchild left her

Raging In Canton and Hongkong-It is
Similar to the Great Plague Which
Occurred in London.
VANCOUVER, B. C.-The most impor-
tant news brought by the Empress of
China is OF the alarming spread of the
virulent plague that first appeared in
Canton at the end Of April. The plague
is similar to the great plague in London
in the sixteenth century, and is carrying
off large numbers of victims. 1t soon
spread to Hongkong, appearing there in
May. 1t is chiefly confined to Chinese,
but two Portuguese have been afflicted.
The plague has paralyzed business to a
large extent, as many leading steamship
lines refuse to take either passengers or
cargo from Hongkong. The symptoms
OF the disease are as follows: Without
premonitory warning in the shape of
chill there is a sudden onset OF fever,
rising to l05 degrees or over. There is
much headache, accompanied by stupor.
In eighteen or twenty-four hours CLAN
dular swelling occurs in the neck or arm
pit, increasing to the size of fowls egg,
being hard and tender. With or without
decline of the fever the patient sinks
into condition of coma, and dies at the
end of twenty-four or forty-eght hours.
II six days are reached, recovery is pos
sible. The Canton correspondent of
Hongkong papers under date of May 8
says: "There is scarcely house but
has some one dead. The plague COM
menced in the Mohammedan quarter,
and 100 cases are reported daily. One
man stationed at the west gate began at
0 o'clock ia The morning 10 drop cash
into box every time coffin passed him.
At A p. NJ. he had counted 170 cash. Chill
dren were put in baskets or wrapped in
pieces OF mating and buried. From
this district, where the dirt is thickest
and the houses most crowded, it spread
to the center portions, and now has
reached the country, and the people who
fled there from the city know not which
way to flee. Idols are being worshiped
in an extravagant and frenzied manner"
