SEPARATED FoRTY-Two Tines
Some days ago the Record contained e
little article telling of this years award
of the Dunnow fitch of bacon to three
couples who had lived without bicker-
ing for IL whole months. Now, by way
of contrast, read the following from the
GAINESVILLE wis Record:
The Monroe county court has ap.
pointed a guardian for the estate of
Isaac Brewer, Of Stroudsburg. This is
the climax of q strange career. He and
his wife, Alice, have had ups and downs
with the most alarming frequency dur
ing the % years of their married life.
In that time the wife has, tits asserted,
deserted her husband exactly ~ times.
Forty-one times Isaac was able to coax
or hire his better half to return home.
But the forty.second time she refused,
and she is now living with her daugh-
ter. They would have slight dis
agreement and the wife would leave
home. Perhaps she would be absent
several days, and then Brewer would
60 in search of her. The twenty.third
disappearance was caused by a oustard
pie, and it cost the husband just 5000 in
cash and the deed of q house to get his
wife back. 1t seems their tastes diff
fered as to custard pie, the husband
seeming to have peculiar ideas about
it's makeup. Now the wife says she
cannot BE- hired to 60 back home, and
the guardian has been appointed.-Phil.

ALL K1LED.-Six persons were
killed as result of d railroad crossing
accident at Lawyers station, eleven
miles below Lynchburg yesterday after.
noon. A vehicle containing six per-
sons, supposed to be Joseph Callahan,
of Rustburg, Campbell county, two
women, q girl of about sixteep and two
small children, was crossing the tracks
of the railway, when it was struck by
the engine of southbound passenger
train. Five of the occupants of the We.
hicle were killed outright and the
young girl was so severely injured that
she died shortly afterwards. The par
ties were unknown in the vicinity of
the accident, and it was only with
difficulty and some uncertainty that
they were identified as the family of
Mr.. Callahan, of Rustburg. The rail-
road officials are at loss to understand
how the accident occurred at the place
named, as they say the track Ia visible
for distance of two hundred yards or
more and the occupants of the vehicle
should have been able to learn of the
approach Of the train.
The train which struck the carriage
was in charge Of Engineer Thomas
Gorham, of this city.

THE so.CALLED Cleveland demo-
Gratis" of Maryland still persist in as
sorting that the defeat of the demo-
cratic ticket in their State at the COM
ing election will have no effect upon
next years election there. But Mr.
Lowndes, the republican candidate for
Governor of Maryland. even more
strenuously insists that his election in
November will secure the State for his
party in 1896. Mr.. Lowndes evidently
has common sense on his side, as re-

cessful, will try to keep it by SO ar

TIE CHIEF reason for any anxiety
that may exist in respect of the result
of the coming election in Maryland is
the not unnatural fear that the sd
ministration may throw it's whole ire
mendous influence in favor of the re-.
publican ticket, as it did in New York
last year, with such disastrous effects
to the party by which it was elected.
To some, the existence of such fear
seems passing strange, but not to those
who either understand human nature
or are familiar with the worlds history,
for all such know that democracies can
only exist by virtue and honesty, and
that the sad lack of such qualities now
apparent in this one, presages It's dis
solution.

]. l.. Workman, of Columbia College,
has returned to Denver on his way

lish the truth of the Darwin theory.
The professor has just completed his
annual trip to the rich archaeological
fields of northern Wyoming. The
mummy encased in the bag is the re-
mains of what is known as the white
faced capuchin. Scientists have never
before been able to establish the pres-
ence of this monkey on the American
continent and in the opinion of Profess
sor Workman the chain leading ND to

Professors room there is also another
package that is Of great interest to

less he belongs to labor union; in

presentable appearance in church, and
even in the WorId's own city, it is i'm
possible for him TO get toddy OF a glass
of beer or wine at his Sundays dinner.
It is well enough TO say this is land
ofliberty, but SO far as personal liberty,
personal independence, and self-govern.
ment are concerned, there isn't anatiye
of a monarchical government now liy-
ing here who would exchange the per-
