HUNTING A DUPED BRIDE.
Mrs. Meadrick (nee Heggarty)
Left Her Home Over a
Week Ago.
A MYSTERIOUS STORY TOLD.
Claimed She Was Married to a
Stranger After Being Dragged
In a Restaurant.

Miss Lottie Heggarty, the young and
beautiful adopted daughter of the wealthy
Beatty family living on Railroad avenue,
has disappeared.
Her parents, by adoption, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Beatty, who think as much of her as
they do of their own children, are almost
distracted, and have done everything in
their power to trace the young woman's
whereabouts Their anxiety has dual
cause.
Miss Heggarty has had a sensational
and exciting experience during the last
two months. 1t has been withheld from
publicity up to the present time, for rea-
sons which will appear obvious as the tale
is unfolded.
Two months ago Miss Heggarty, who
was remarkably domestic in her habits
and unusually circumspect in her inter-
course with the opposite sex, was induced
to take lunch with two gentlemen and
lady acquaintance at a downtown restau-
rant. During the courses she saws she
was urged to drink little wine She OBJ
iected, but finally consented to take few
sips, and on those few sips hangs the tale.
The wine, she claims, was drugged.
Whatever the nature of the beverage it
had the effect of rendering her plastic in
the hands of the man whom she charges
with designs against her person and estate
Soon after leaving the restaurant, so she
informed her lawyers, this man Of. Mead
rick made the proposition that they pro-
coed at once to the City Hall and get mar
ried. She went with the man without the
least hesitancy, so she says her lady friend
informed her, and after procuring license
the two were married by Justice of the
Peace Cook.
Miss Heggarty-or Mrs Meadrlck, as
she must be regarded in the eyes of the
law-did not regain her senses, she de-
clared, until they had left the hall and
were walking down Market street to take
car. The full and appalling realizing
sense of what she had done came on her at
flash.
She felt like one awaking from an excit-
ing and intensely realistic dream and she
sprang away from the side of her husband
and dashed down Eighth street. She
neither knew nor cared where she was
going. Her only thought was to get away
She succeeded in making her escape, and
after few hours occupied in wandering
about unfamiliar neighborhoods while in
her excited state she reached the home of
her parents on Railroad avenue.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beatty were greatly
shocked on learning what had happened,
but Immediately took steps to annul the
marriage. They consulted prominent
legal firm, and when Mrs. Meadrick told
her story the attorneys had no doubt she
was drugged. IC was also ascertained that
Meadrick was man of questionable repu-
tation, and his unwilling bride of twenty
minutes said she hac subsequently learned

BATTLE-SHIPS FOR JAPAN,
Hakaru Isono Says That His Govern
ment Looks With Favor on
Our Builders.

Hakaru Isono, ostensibly merchant of
Yokohama, Japan, is stopping in this City
on his way to England and the Continent
via New York City. 1t is the purpose of
Mr.. Isono to visit the Union Iron Works
to thoroughly acquaint himself with their
capacity, manner of working and every-
thing connected with the construction of
large battle-ships. incidentally he states
himself as willing to confer with Ameri-
can merchants regarding the development
of American and Japanese commerce. In
a talk yesterday he said:
desire TO have it distinctly understood that
I am here in no official capacity. l come here
simply from my intense patriotism for my
native land. l can say positively that the
Japanese Government is very favorably in
clined toward the United States and its people.
1t may be supposed by American shipbuilders
that Japan is more disposed toward British
builders. but this is not the case. Japan
knows that the United States Governments
test of materials used in its ships is very severe
and if Japan thought she would be accorded
the same excellence at the hands of your ship
builders she perhaps would make choice of
this country, even though American prices
might be slightly in advance to those of other
nations. 1t is known almost definitely that
Japan intends having two large warships
constructed in this country.
Concerning the commercial relations be-
tween the two countries, Japan is fully cog
INFANT OF the 1dct tnaI the Ddlence Oh trade Is
against the United States. But if this country
could prepare articles of trade that would be
accessible TO Japanese use, japan would be as
large buyer as the United States. AT present
there is not enough pains taken by American
merchants in the preparation of products for
Japan.
Japan buys largely of New York condensed
milk, but she frequently gets an adulterated
or inferior article

to agitate closer contact between her and the
nations of the world.

Drs. Copeland, Neal and VIM feel very CRATE
full to the public for the confidence with
which it accepts and responds to their printed
utterances Their many years experience in
treating all forms of catarrhal and kindred
chronic diseases entities them to speak au-
thoritatively on the subject, and it is particu-
larly pleasing to feel that the public appre-
ciates and acknowledges this fact.
Drs Copeland Neal and VIM desire to call
attention to the fact that as winter approaches
now is undou btedly the time to treat catarrh.
Now we have nature to assist us in the treat
ment instead of retarding it. months treat
ment now will go long way toward warding
off the colds which make life miserable for the
catarrhal sufferer in the winter. Place your
self under treatment now, few mon tbs hence

THEIR CREDENTIALS.

DIR. w. H. Copeland is a graduate of
Bellevue Hospital Medical College of
New York City, was president OF his class
in that famous institution, and, after
thorough hospital training and ex-
perience, devoted his time and attention
to special lines of practice. DIR. Neal and
DIR. Winn passed through a similar
course, and have for years been asso-
ciated with DR.. Copeland.
DIR. j. G. Neal won first honors in col
Iege, and was appointed resident physi-
clan of the City Hospital. He filed the
position with honor and received the
hospital diploma. He also holds several
gold medals for special excellence in
various branches of medicine, and after
graduation was elected an adjunct
professor of his college.
DIR. A. G. Winn is q graduate of Bellevue
Hospital Medical College, and of the
medical department of the Univer sity of
Missouri. They have devoted them
selves entirely to the treatment of their
specialties. Years of experience in these
special lines, preceded by extensive
hospital work, have fitted them in a
notable degree for the practice of their
profession.

WHAT rs CATARRH.

Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn are frequently
asked: "What is catarrh?" and "How can a
person tell when he has the dsease?" Briefly,
catarrh in this climate is chiefly the result OF
neglected colds or a succession OF colds, Begin
ming with naso-pharyngeal irritation (that is,
the cold first settles at the junction of the back
thoat) the Observation-Disclosures rapidly ex-
tends upward through the Eustachian tubes
into the ears, causing:
BuZzing, roaring, kissing or ringing sounds.
The hearing is gradually impaired.
The noises and impaired hearing are always
worse in damp weather and when the patient
has cold.
The ears often discharge.
At other times the ears are dry. itchy and
filed with wax.
Earache is frequent accompaniment,
especially in children.
Continuing its course upward, the catarrhal

ducts into the conjunctival mucous membrane.
The eyelids become inf1amed and red.
They are also often glued together in the
morning with a sticky, tenacious mucus.
The eyesight becomes blurred and often i'm
paired.
The eyes become weak and watery.
There is q deep-seated aching pain In the
eyeballs.
dull pain often exists over region of eyes
and in temples.
The nostrils are frequently stopped up first
one side and then the other.
There are little swellings noticed In the nos
trils. making breathing OIteQ ulIuCuiL.
These swellings are aggravated by damp
weather.
These swellings are also aggravated when
the patient has a cold.
The nostrilS often discharge mucus. which
varies in character.
Sometimes this mucus Is Shiny and drops
back into the throat.
AT other times it is tough and tenacious and
requires considerable blowing and snuffing
back in to the throat to dislodge.
A feeling of tightness is often noticed over
the bridge OF the nose.
Extending downward from its naso-pharyn-
peal origin, the throat becomes affected.
The mouth and throat in morning are filed
with mucus.
Sometimes this mucus is jellv-iike in appear
ance, causing considerable hawking and spit
ting to dislodge
Al times the mucus is so tough and tenacious
that gagging and even nausea and vomiting
result from efforts to dislodge it.
At other times the mucTs is Shiny in nature
and is dislodged without difficulty.
The above symptoms are those of moist or
discharging catarrh.
In the dry condition there is tickling OF
scratchy feeling in the throat.
This causes q tickling, spasmodic or hacking
cough.
There is q bad taste in the mouth in the

VirRinia's Swelling Toad.

The wonder of the genus batra-
CHA and the greatest natural history
oddly to be found along the Allan
tic coast of the United States is the
swelling toad, semiaquatic crea-
ture known to naturalists as bufo-
machalatus. It is occasionally met
with from New York city to Jack
sonville, Fla, but is most common
along the coasts of Virginia, Mary
land and North Carolina. When in
its natural state, the ''swell toad" is
about the size of large bullfrog,
but looks more like a fish than it
does like either frog or toad. He
is about six inches in length and has
the curious faculty of being able to
swell to the size of Yale football.
in which state his legs, tail and head
are scarcely visible.
Irritation appears to be the chief
factor in causing these curious crea-
lures to inhale air until they swell
almost to bursting. The bellies of
both the males and females are near
ly pure white and are covered with
spines which give that portion of
their anatomy the appearance of a
we'll ripened 'jinson" bur. Per-
sons who understand the "swell
toad" and know what an irritable
little rascal he is catch him and rub
the spines on his belly, when he
swells up until he is utterly helpless.
Another curious point about the
creature is that as long as he is kept
on his back he is unable to expel the
air SO as to reduce the swelling St
Louis Republic.

Peculiarities Of Ferrets,

Ferrets are usually rather shy and
sometimes are very cross and bad
tempered. If they take a fancy to
people, they are like squirrels and
can be caressed and made much of
and enjoy it very greatly. Ferrets
were originally brought from Eng
land. They are of great value to
clear premises of rats. When not
hunting, the ferrets should be kept
in a dry box or pen, with the top off,
the depth to be about three feet, the
bottom filled in with sawdust or
earth. The rat is the natural prey
and the favorite food of the ferret.
When there are no more rats, raw
meat is the very best thing to feed,
although bread and milk or any 9th
or food, with the exception of salt
meat, can be given them, together
with milk and water, the same as to
cats. At first the ferret should be
handled by the tail or back of the
neck, the latter being the preferred
way. A strange ferret should never
be handled from the front, as he
may blte.-New York Ledger.

Knowledge Is Power,

An illustration of the truth of this
proverb is found in Mr.. J. G.. Bert.
rams book, 1.-The Harvest of the
Sea. 1t seems that monopoly OF
the extensive fisheries of Scotland
and England once came into the
hands of man who kept his agents
at the principal stations and reouir-
ed them to furnish him all facts that
came to their knowledge.
AT one of his stations in the far
north the fishing had been unsuccess-
full for the greater part of the season,
and there was no prospect of i'm
provement when he looked into the
matter. Upon examining his agents
letters from that place for some
years back he found by comparison
of dates that at certain place her
rings were likely to be found. He c-
cordingly instructed his agent 70
send his boats to that spot.
The fishermen laughed at the idea
of a mans sitting some hundreds of
miles away and telling them where
to get fish, but as his orders were
positive they had to obey, and the
consequence was that they returned
the next morning loaded with her
rings

MY CAT AND I.

Just at dusk at my study door
Four little white feet stand on the floor,
Four little white feet leap to my knee,
And Deaming face looks up at me-
Oh, full many a love I've known,
But never n heart so much my own,
Never grateful soul like that, :
And this is the way l love my cat.
Ever! day, through storm or shine,
This rapturous greeting still is mine.
Every night on my knee she lies
Watching my face with her crystal eyes.
Through fame well gained, OF a lost re-
nown,
II stocks go up, or if stocks go down,
Faithful forever as faith can be,
That is the way my cat loves me!
Oh, my pussy, the world is round!
In it full many o friend I've found.
When was rich, they bent the knee,
And when was poor they frowned on me.
But rich or poor you have loved me still.
You share the good as you shared the i'll,
So while we live and when we die
May we be together, my cat and /!

Stimulation of Death by Fakirs.

Herr Kuhn not long ago present
ed a communication on this subject
to the Anthropological society of
Munich. He had the opportunity of
personally observing two cases as
to the commences of which he had
no doubt whatever. One of the ia
kris referred to had been buried
alive for six weeks, the other for ten
days. The condition which the fakir
has the power of producing arti-
ficially is in all respects identical
with the cataleptic trance. The IA
kris, who are all hysterical subjects
of a very pronounced type, put
themselves through a regular course
of training before the performance,
weakening themselves by semi
starvation. taking internally various
vegetable substances known only to
them, keeping their bodies motion
less in the same position for several
hours at time, etc.
When the fakir has by these means
got himself into proper condition, he
has only to lie down in one of the
positions enjoined by the sacred
books and fix his eyes on the end of
his nose to fall into a state of trance.
The fakirs are also believed to use
hasheesh for the purpose of lessen
ing the force of respiration. That
hypnotic agent associated with 9th
er vegetable substances and used in
a special manner is believed by them
to supply the want both of air and
nourishment. AT the beginning of
the trance the fakir has hallucina-
tions, hearing heavenly voices, see-
ing visions, ETC. Gradually, how
ever, consciousness becomes annull-
ed, the body becomes rigid, and, as
the fakirs themselves say, "the spir-
it rejoins the soul of the world. -
