chned to make the selection. as she
was an Episcopalian, and the minister
OF her church, she knew, would object
10 marrying a divorced person. This
forced him to make selection. Ac
coroingly, ne called on a prominent
divine Of a denomination generally
created with being more liberal in
such matters, and plainly said that he

I'VE are opposed, sir, as a rule, to

There is. however, one cause for di

She was and is as good a woman as

Donaldson's glass block was a thing
OF beauty and joy all day yester-
day. The great department store was
In holiday attire, and held the mirror
up to Dame Fashion, and invited her
most critical examination. The mag
nincent display of the oddities and in
ventions of style embraced everything
IN the line of feminine adornment
and myriads Of pretty things were be-
slowed in lavish profusion throughout
the f1ve floors Of the building.
The show windows, of course were
artistically prepared, but it was where
the big stock of goods were, inside. that
the artist had shown his greatest skill.
Everywhere the eye might turn it en-
countered some beautiful object. and
the skill with which this pleasing effect
mad been managed elected boundlees
admiration from thousands of ladies
and gentlemen who thronged the store
all afternoon and evening.
The exquisite display was remark
able for the good taste with which the
various articles were disposed There
were no attempts at startling groups
no vulgar ostentation. Everything
was invested with simple elegance,
and "stole on the spirits like a Nav
day breaking
1t was in the cloak and millinery de-
partment that the artistic hands of
Mr.. Donaldson's force had displayed
the greatest skill. This department is
presided over by F. E. Flint, who was
the recipient of countless compliments
during the day for his artistic environ
ment. 1t was here that the new Par
Islam capes in all the colors of the
rainbow, and in silk, satin, velvet,
chiffon, lace and ribbon effects were
shown. Many of these capes are trim
med In jet and are the latest i'm
portations from Paris. Then there
were blazer suits, REFER suits, Nor

made gowns by the thousands, afforu-
Ing such bewildering scene of beauty
as greets the eye, but once in the
season, and that is at the spring open
ing of the Glass block
The department was trimmed in
Nile green and light pink, producing a
beautiful fleet. One of the most fetch
ing features of the cloak department
was the separate skirts, shown in
silks, satins, crepons, serges, cheviots
and other materials. These skirts have
the new organ pipe back, and. are mod
els of artistic draping.
The exhibit of flowers, both natural
and artificial, was regal, and compre-
hended many rare and beautiful plants,
the dominating flower being the n.y.
drangeas, which were found in all parts
of the store.
In the evening hundreds of electric
lights of every color shed luster on the
lovely things, while the Third United
States Infantry band poured flood of
melody into THE ears of the vast
crowd. DanZ's full orchestra was in at
tendance during the afternoon, and
rendered delightful programme
Taken all in all, it was a day of
triumph for the enterprising owners of

Plenty of Horse Sense.

"Old Duke" the veteran fire horse
at No. engine house, took an hour
off yesterday without leave, and, after
worrying the fire laddies until he was
tired, concluded he had had enough fun
for one morning, and went back to his
stall. He had a good, conscientious
reason for this, however After his
would-be captors had exhausted every
vile to induce him to give up his frolic,
one of their members thought he would
see if Old Duke would heed the call
of duty. Accordingly the firemen left
off racing up and down the streets after
the big horse and retired to the engine
house. There an alarm was sounded
The instant Old Duke heard it, he gave
great snort, as much as to say,
Enough of this foolishness,'' and
started on a laundering gallop for
the engine house three blocks away.
He bounded into the engine house and
took his place at the wagon with as
much unconcern as if he had just left
his stall. The firemen could not con-
ceal their admiration of Old Dukes
wit, and their smiling faces caused
his horseship according to an eye
witness) to wink his eye very signif-
icantly.

Hall Has Digested 1t.

Attorney Hall yesterday concluded
his labors in connection with the bill
of exceptions for an appeal to the SUI
preme court in the Hayward case,
which was prepared by Walter Schu-
maker, Mr.. Erwin's assistant. The pa
pers will probably be handed to Judge
Smith today.
The case will come before the court
next Saturday, when the record, in the
event of failure to secure a new trial,
will be made up.
In speaking of the bill of exceptions,
Mr.. Hall said yesterday that he had dis
covered nothing of sufficient import
ance to warrant a new trial, in his opin-
ion. The evidence in regard to Miss
Ging's having eaten supper in a down.
town restaurant as late as 7:20 was in
direct contradiction to other evidence
equally credible, and would have no

ENGLISH JACK.
Sad Romance of the Hermit of the
White Mountains.


White Mountains.
Boston Globe.
English Jack, the hermit of the
White mountains, made visit to
induced to prolong his stay until he,
got anxious about his two cats, and,
having secured a supply of extra
good tea, of which he is unreaSonably
fond, the old man returned to his
cabin among the mountains. ST
The romantic story of the man who
has just been renewing old friends
as he puts it, is we'll known. -
A lonely boy in the great city Of
London, he found little girl on the,
street. She was lost, and it was
with great difficulty that he carried
her home. Her father took a fancy
to the boy, and took him to sea with
him. =
Step by step he rose in his chosen
profession, and at last the wedding
day was fixed, and Jack-then John
A. Walls, able seaman-carried home
with him the wedding outfit, only to
find that she was dead.
Then came years of wandering, of
fighting in China and India, where
he saw service in the army of Sir
Colin Campbell.
Then other years of aimless wan
dering, and at last the cabin in the
White hills, where for more than
twenty years he has made his home.
The old man is perfectly con-
tented. He loves children and nat
ure. The mountains some way seem
to cheer him, and he hopes at last
10 rest in their shadows.
He does no harm to any one. he
says, and sometimes is able to help
people. Many times the old man has
searched for and found parties in the
mountain, and his services can al
ways be commanded by any one who
needs his aid
He is happy in the mountains. and

man in this big world than poor old
