eye on the real article. And sometimes
when they are provincial strangers and
talk out loud, as they constantly do, it
is amusing to hear them. Nobody, how
ever, feels half so much amused as the
intimate friends of the beauties them
selves. They sometimes join in the dis
appointed discussion, if in the first case
they have not been discovered picking

INGALLS, ON VENEZUELA.
John J. Ingalls, Seized the OpPOr-
tunity and the Lions Tail.

The following appeared in last even
ing's Atchison Globe: "The presidents
message is an adroit appeal to the pro-
foundest passion of the American
people," said John j. Ingalls, to Globe
reporter today. "Our conception of the
Monroe doctrine is vague, and our love
for Venezuela is platonic, but we all
hate England. 1t is hereditary. 1t is so
intense that it obliterates PARTY lines,
effaces sectionalism and makes US homo
geneous.
"We divide on protection. on silver, on
the race question, but in our hatred of
England we are unanimous The sloppy
diplomatic twaddle about kindred blood
aud common language deceives nobody.
We feel that England is our only enemy
among the great powers of the earth.
1T has been so from the beginning of
our history. We remember the tyranny
that led to the revolutions; the insolent
affronts that brought on the war of 1912;
the burning of Washington; the Mason
SIidelI incident; Alabama and 'Shenan
doah', and the intrigues for the destruc-
ton of the union. At every crisis in our
affairs we have encountered the secret or
open hostility of England, and the tone
of her press has been always cynical,
sneering and cOntemptuous.
"But there will be no war. Like all
ruffians and DULLES, England Is a cow
ard and poltroon when it comes to a
show down; she never fights her equals;
she kicks women and children; she bull
lies Turkey, Egypt, Hindoostan, South
Sea Islanders and African tribes, and
tyrannizes over the weak and feeble, but
when Grant notified her that she must
pay for the depredations her pirates
committed on our commerce in the re-
bellion or take the consequences, she
accepted the Geneva award and sent her
check for $50,500,000 in full settlement
of our claim.

stronger than her own young, viva
cious, clever, brunette mother, Mrs.
Fred Nelson. The daughter is gentle,
tranquil replica of the mother, who re-
tains all her old magnetic fascination
and is indeed more piquant than ever
this season. Mrs. Nelson has the Irish
strain in her, with its exterior French
grace, and the flashing eyes, the slight,
erect figure, the small expressive hand
which she uses so deity, make a strik-
ing picture. AS she sat in her box on
the first night of the season, gowned in
effective black, and garlanded literally
with diamonds, every one wondered
why Mrs. Nelson had not married
again. 'And she is SO bright and clev-

GRIM MARRIAGE.
a Strange Spectacle in a Cemetery at
Medford, Mass.


Over the grave of her second hus-
band, in Oak Grove cemetery, at Med
ford, Mass, a woman was remarked
the other night to her first husband,
John H. Jackson, whom she had long
thought dead, AYERS the Boston Post.
A carriage containing five persons
drove up Main street a little after
o'clock, and on toward the cemetery,
on reaching which it drove quietly
through several roadways that seemed
to have interminable turns.
Two of the occupants were women
and three men. Two of the men wore
high hats and three were dressed in the
height of fashion. The other wore
soft black hat and long cape over
coat that reached to his heels. He
was a clergyman. The two women
wore heavy long cloaks. The party
approached a grave, and one woman
and one man clasped hands over the
mound. The minister, uncoyering his
head, took out small volume and read
the marriage ceremony. When the
bride lifted her hand she disclosed the
fact she wore white wedding garments
under her heavy black cloak. A ring
was passed across the grave. 1t was
over the grave of her second husband
that the marriage ceremony was per-
formed. The groom is a lawyer, John
H jackson by name. He was the for
mer husband of the bride about twenty
six years ago. The couple used to live
on Riverside street at that time. Peo-
pie now living in Medford remember
the separation of the couple at the time
and how the husband disappeared, but
why they never knew. The bride has
a son about % years of age, thriving
young business man in the neighboring
city. When her first husband had been
missing seven years, by common law
he was regarded as dead, and she
married again. The whole is one of
the most marvellous occurrences within
the memory of the city recorder, who is
authority for the statements in this
story.

A COLD STORAGE PLANT.
Work to Begin on the First One in
Topeka.
WILL HAVE 10000 BARRELSCAPAClTY

Judge WeIlhOuse Representing tne
shawnee County horticultural So
ciety Completes the Arrangements
with Philip MOeser.
Work will be commenced within few
days on big cold storage plant in 10
peka.y
Judge F. Wellhouse, representing the
Shawnee County Horticultural society,
has just completed arrangements with
Mr.. Philip Moeser of the Moeser Ice
Manufacturing company by which that
company is to commence work at once
on the erection of cold storage plant
with a capacity of 10000 barrels.
The proposed cold storage plant which
is to be large enough to hold all the
fruit offered for storage by the horticul-
turists of Shawnee county, Will De
erected on two lots adjoining the Moeser
ice plant corner Of Second and Polk
streets. The cold storage building will
be fifty feet wide. one hundred feet long
and two stories high, and will be divided
into four rooms.
The basement will be of stone, the out
side walls of brick and the inside will be
lined with wood aud mineral wool

expense in fitting up the plant aside
from the building itself will be for pipes
and plumbing.
Mr.. Moeser proposes to put his ice
teams, which are now idle, at work draw
ing stone for the foundation, and as soon
as spring opens up the work will be
pushed.
It is not expected that the plant will
be completed in time to receive the early
crops. such as strawberries, but it will be
finished in time to store all fruits ripen-
ing after July.
No agreement has been made as to the
storage rates to be charged, but Mr..
Moeser has agreed that he will make a
rate as low as any storage plant in the
state.
Judge Wellhouse says this will be
satisfactory to the fruit raisers.
The building of this cold storage plant
is the direct result of the agitation of the
question through the JOURNAL by mem
bers of the Shawnee County Horticul-
tural society, and the suggestion was
made by this paper that Mr.. Moeser was
the man to furnish the cold storage
