DEATH OF A BRIDE
SAD Termination Of the Earthly Happy
ness of two Lives

Special Dispatch 10 the Oilv Eagle.
SALTWATER, o. T., Oct. 30.-Mrs. Bessie
Magruder, the bride of Professor a. G.
Magruder OF the Oklahoma Agricultural
and Mechanical college, died here early
this morning.
The circumstances attending her death
were particularly painful. Early in the
present month invitations were issued TO
friends TO witness The marriage ceremony.
TO take place in ST. Andrews Episcopsi
church on Oct. "a. but the bride to be. was
soon after stricken with that fell disease
quick consumption. though the gravity OF
the disease was not at first recognized By
her physicians
IL soon became apparent that she would
not recover for the ceremony as an
nounced. and at her request the marriage
TOOK place while she was vet on her sick
bed. She was then removed TO the resi-
denee of her husband in College addition
ous ali efforts to prolong life were of no
avail, ana this morning she quietly and
peacefully passed TO the great beyond.
ieaVing many sorrow stricken friends.
She was the dau liter of W. W. Duncan of
the saltwater Milling company.
No death has ever occurred in Saltwater
attended with more pathetic circum-
stances. =

THE BIG TELESCOPES.
They Show That Our World Is Yet Young
In Stellar Science.

The glasses of Mount Hamilton, Milan
) and Pultowa reveal worlds at the preserss
time in all stages of evolution. They may
be traced from misty ngbula to glittering
suns, from orbs in the high noon Of deye!-
opment TO those that repose in the sepul-
chrai shadows Of the coming night But
neither by analysis nor analogy can we
conclude that the activity of the universe
began only when men began TO evolve on
the inconsequent ana diminutiye sphere
known as the earth. We may not conclude
that the myriads Of scintiilating suns in
space-the 500, 600, 900 of orbs that the
great Lick tclescopedisclosed in the milky
way aiOne-are only celestial lanterns
hung out 20 illuminate terrestrial night. \
wider knowledge sustains the conclusion
that other worlds long preceded ours and
shall long continue when the fretted fabric
that We call our globe shall have passed
away. We may dismiss some Of our early
conceptions and grasp the fact that terres-
trial creation, instead Of ranking as the
event in the economy OF the universe. vs-s
only one in the eternal train OF minor in
cidents. What else may be the meaning
OF that illimitable and infinite field OF
spnce where glow difTusing light and
heat, the countless hosts of colossal suns,
which. we are compelled 10 acknowledge,
must radiate their light and heat and
must diffuse these into systems that must
evoke them,
And when the great Chicago telescope IL
completed, when we may explore the add
ed area and possess the added intensity
and the stellar revelations come nearer to
US and when. beyond that telescope
achievement, come others in the coming
century with still further and keener
sight, we may be able 20 grasp but little /
of the great significance that may be IN /
folded.
The world is ye. young in stellar sci 4
ence. II is net Old in any kind Of science. Z
Ii is only on the dawn OF the significance
of knowledge and Of making its practical .
application. We are before the sunrise, .
only In the twilight, and just behind u i
the night. We are still so near our con
generic savage-y that the barbarCus in
prints confront Us everywhere. The civ
Hiring telescope, even with ourselves, Is
almost as nothing TO the interest bestowed
on some new death dealing device. and
OUT greatest hoaCrs We bes-ow OF those
who are most conspicuous in the destruc-
ton OF their fellows. -Pittsburg Dispatch

MEANT FOR MORTON
WHAT WHEELER MEN THINK THE
WHEELER TICKET MEANS.
Belief That Many Anti Hill Men Will
Vote for Morton-Two Wheeler
Votes Equal to Only One Morton
Vote, AS Against Hill, and He's
the Very Man They're After.

NEW YORK. Oct. 30-The declaration of
William X. Grace today that the state or.
ganization is supporting David b. Hall
HDo is not responsible for any Wheeler
posters, is received with Incredibly by
many who still insist that the tactic is in
favor of Hills defeat and rolling up as
large vote Is possible for Wheeler. Inc
RdbereDtS today expressed much gratifi-
cation at the number and character of the
Cooper union meeting last night and are
col fident that the Democratic reform
ticket will make gooi showing on cleo
tion day. Many anti-Hill Democrats, it
is generally believed, will vote
straight tor Morton, taking the
ground, as one OF them remarked
today, that vote for Wheeler will be only
half vote against Hill, and that the
Wheeler voters are intended to aid Morton
anyway.
The Hill men are as confident as ever. re-
ferriDg with special satisfaction to the per-
sonal fight their Candidate is making and
TO the enthusiasm with which he is Icing
received by his supporters. Most of them,
however, do not seek TO conceal their dis
appointment or anger that his candid ICY
has not received open ana active eDcOur-
agemrnt from the national administration
The Republicans abate none of their claims
and Insist that the general Republican
tendency this year and the Democratic
detection for Hill, the lartrr will BE- snow
ed under. There has been but little betting
so far IN the Campaign, but the reports of
wageIs al the Stock exchange aud else
wbere show ODDS on Morton rot unfre-
quently At 2 10 /. Smaller odds are given
on Strong against Grant, the perfection of
Tammany organization throughout the
oHnty making the supporters of the COM
mlttee of seventy rather cautious about
llsking their money, OSever much they
anticipate great ant-Tammany uprising.
The Hill Democrats were pleased
tonight by the announcement
that Speaker Crisp has csnceiiei
engagements in order TO speak in this city
or BrOokIyu. They were also much pleased |
by letter for Hill from Chauncev f. J
Black, chairman of the national league OF I
Democratic Clubs. The fact that Colonel !
