 Amey's defense was that Wagner's story of a wilfe's alienated affections. a confession, and the giving of the note as damages was untrue Amey testi- fled that in May, 1895, Wagner brought to him a paper and told him it was an agreement by which Amey agreed nev- CT to speak to Mrs. Wagner again or to MT. Wagner. He took the paper and started to open it to read its contents. Wagner snatched it from him, placed one hand in a hip pocket, and in a threatening manner commanded the witness to sign.
 The witness alleged that he feared for his life and did sign the paper. Wagner then went away. The paper was not the agreement it was alleged to be- but the note upon which the suit was brought
 Amey also claimed that the day be- fore the signing of the paper the mes sage was conveyed to him that unless he settled at once his head would be blown off by Wagner. He said he knew tihis message came direct from Wagner, and it caused him uneasiness and alarm. Wagner is travelins agent. He says that he will appeal.

OLD LOVERS REUNITED.
The Happy Finding OF Romance That
Began ir the Old Country

The Happy Finding OF Romance That

New York, August ia quiet we'd
ding in the Temple Shaaroh Berocho,
at No. 40 East Fifteenth street, fur
n.shed the last chapter OF a pretty and
long dIawn-Out romance. Many years
ago in the market village Of B-rkenau,
in Hesse-Darmstadt, Nathan Gutman
was school master. He was a stern
taskmaster, but a kindly, sympathetic
man, for whom his pupils formed a
sincere and lasting affection.
Eliza Goldman, then dainty mss of
16. and the favorite daughter Of pros
porous burgher, thought much OF the
handsome young schCO.masJer, much
more than her parents thought proper.
Her liking soon developed into love,
and. as the young schOolM2ster was not
proof against her charms, they became
engaged. Her parents opposition sep
arated them.
Gutman, respondent and broken
hearted, came 70 this country to forget
his unfortunate attachment and win
fame and fortune for himself. Tine
healed his wound and he married Miss
Helena Wolf, and by frugality and hard
work, saved money and established
himself in business. For fifteen years
he devoted himself to business and ac-
cumulated a fortune. Two years ago
his wife died.
Eliza Goldman, in the meantime, at
her parents command, married Samuel
Fass, and with her husband came to
America and made Brooklyn Their
home. After ten years Of married life
Fass died, and his WIDOW remained at

-marvels of constructive ability"
Among the marine animals are many
that construct over and above them
selves coverings which might not inapt-
ly be termed umbrellas. This is par
ticularly noticeable in the sea anem-
ones. At times they are free and
unencumbered with foreign objects;
at others they are completely covered
with plates of sand, which they take
from the ground about them, or bits of
StdNtGu, Which, lOIill VI ltSS pro-
lection or covering.
When the anemones desire to assume
these countless umbrellas, they bend
over their tentacles and touch the
ground, many bits of shell and sand ad-
herring. These are lifted up and placed
upon the sides of the creature until Il
finally appears to be covered with a
mosaic, which, whilea protection, serves
as a disguise, making the otherwise
conspicuous animal resemble the rocks
about it.
BY far the most interesting animal
possessing this habit is the sea urchin
that looks like pin cushion, being COW
cred with long or short bristles, accord,
ing to the species. How the sea ur
chin, with its stiff spines, can lift
scores of minute stones and bits of shell.
distributing them over its body in such
number that collectively they form an
umbrella-like covering, would appear a
mystery, which, however, is solved
upon an examination of the urchin.
The spines are not the only organs, but
from among them rise two suckers
with little disks attached to them, and
other organs that have long stalks upon
the end or top of which is perched Il
little feeler with three biting teeth.
These feelers, stationed on the lower
part of the urchin, pick up particles OF
shell and sand, and pass them to others
higher up, and so, by continued pass
ing, the piece of shell travels up to the
dome of the animal, and there finds q
place among the spines. This is repeat,
ed an indefinite number of times, un-
til the urchin is completely covered by
a strong umbrella, poised, as it were,
upon the spines, affording more or less
protection. Sometimes the animal
disdains one of shell or stone, and
spreads over itself canopy of weed,

brighter hue, decoration more or less

Again, one day, the keeper placed
some food for the hippopotamus in a

the hippopotamus began TO leave the
water to get it, but the elephant slowly
ambled to the same corner, and, arriv-

From the first Mrs. Malloy has

Every election day has seen her at the
polls, and she has taken a steady In
terest in every campaign. But, despite
this public activity, she is by no means
considered the 'new woman" the funny
photographers have pictured her to be.
For, while participating actively in pol
tics, Mrs. Malioy has shown no incli-
nation to wear divided skirts or to
throw the care of the baby on her hus-
band. She is a model housewife, and
her tastes are thoroughly domestic.
Her married life has been ideal. No
better commentary on the excellent
conjugal relations that exist between
her husband and herself can be made
than the fact that Mr.. Malloy has al
ways been stanch democrat, while
Mrs. Malloy has invariably worked for
the republican party. Mr.. Malloy is
the superintendent of the Wyoming
division of the Union Pacific railroad.
