After Him

Aspecial from Reidsville, Georgia. saws
c. NJ. Skies, who lives about four
miles from here, about three weeks ago
carried his wife to Albany and put up at
hotel for the night. Some time during
the night he arose, dressed and boarded
the train for home, leaving his wife in
bed asleep about one hundred miles
from home and without a cent. He left
a note on the bureau telling her not to

This was the first time tie poor
woman had ever been at hotel or had

could find out anything abontfler hus-

SALTY SNOW in UTAH.
A Phenomenon that Frequently Occurs in
Salt Lake city


Salt Lake city
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The last few days whenever snow has
fallen in Salt Lake City, white sedi-
ment has been left wherever the snow
touched. There has been much specula-
ton as to the actual cause; the local
scientists have been and are now divided
upon that point. There are those who
insist that the sediment was taken nm
from the bosom of the Great Salt Lake.
There are others who believe the demos
it is sulphate of soda, which is thrown
up on the shores of Great Salt Lake dur
ing the winter by the action of cold wealth
er on the briny waters. Be that as it
may, the houses facing north, the street
car windows, and every piece of glass ex-
posed has become incrusted Pedes-
TRANS who happened to be out in the
storm did not notice anything out of the
way until their clothing dried, when it
was discerned that the apparel was lit
orally sprinkled with what appeared TO
be salt. The deposit is of saline ma
ture. That was was discovered by the
application of the tongue.
1t is phenomenon that frequently
occurs in Salt Lake City and especially
during the winter season, but a good
deal of work was necessary to remove
the stains LETT on the windows. There
has not been a snow storm within the
last ten days when the deposit of the
sediment has not occurred The savants
are still guessing.

CRISP'S CANDIDACY,
1T is WORRYING SOME OF THE
SINGLE STANDARD PEOPLE.
The GOldbugs Recognize His Strength
and Ability An Appeal to Their Follow
ers not to Vote for Him.

ers not to Vote for Him.
The announcement of Hon. Charles F.
Crisp for the United States senate has
thrown dismay into the camps of the
goldbugs, ard their organs, while
acknowledging the superior ability of the
ex-speaker, are making frantic appeals
to the gold standard advocates not to
vote for him.
One OF the strongest tributes that has
yet been paid Judge Crisp is the follow
Ing from the. Macon Telegraph, an,oppo-
sition paper:
ut looks now as though the fight for
Senator GordOn'S seat in the United
ogates senate would be duel between
the silver men, represented by Judge
Crisp on the one hand, and single can
dldate representing the sound money
element on the other. Indications point
strongly to the fact that the silver
men have practically decided to concen-
trate their whole force on Judge Crisp.
and that no other candidate favorable to
free coinage would be in the field.
1t this should be the case the friends
of sound money must unite on one man
who will fairly represent their views IN
THIS night and, regardless of personal
preferences, give him earnest and loyaI
support.
In the selection of Judge Crisp as their
leader, the silver men have exhibited
rare Judgment. In theIwhole state of
Georgia they could not have picked a
man who would show greater strength
before the Georgia legislature than the
gentleman who represents the third dis
trlcti in the house of representatives.
mt only is the ex-speaker a man of real
ability, winning personality and great
political shrewdness, but his candidacy
Tor The United States senate carries with
1t glamour which will enable him to
get the support of men who are radically
opposed to his views on the silver cues
ton by reason of two facts. The nation
al democracy, by it's representatives in
congress, has recognized his great gifts
OF leadership by selecting him as their
chieftain and honOring him and his state
and section by raising him, Georgian
and an eX-confederate soldier. to place
OF honor and power in the United States
government second only to that of the
president. Again, from a sense Of. duty
to the party, Mr.. Crisp proved himself
strong enough to put aside the great of
flee for which he he is now an aspirant.
1t would be foolish to underestimate
the strength which Judge Crisp, by ac-
cepting the leaders, staff, has given to
the cause OF free coinage men, so far as
the senatorship is concerned
Georgia cannot afford even for the
sake of honoring so illustrious a son as
Judge Crisp, to put herself on this side
of the currency question.

FIN DE Steele MARRIAGES.
In Each Instance Woman of the "New,,
Variety Is the Chief Figure.


Two marriages of the past week are
worthy OF note, as possibly furnishing a
straw 60 indicate which way the wind is
drifting IN these end-of-the century DAVIS
In each instance the chief figure was the
woman, and each woman was of that ne
cullar new variety that is the theme
VI endless discussion. The newness of
the two women, however, was along diff.
ierenC lines, In one instance the bride
loVed her art more than her husband.
ana IN the other the bride loved her
stomach to such degree that she mar
. rled husband to cook delightful viands
with which to fill it.
The first marriage took place in Wash
Ington The b ide is a sculpteess and a
theosophist. She wOrships her art. and
performs religious devotions in oueer
manners. Not long ago she concluded a
husband would not be bad thing to
have about the house. But she would
not give up her maiden name, in order
TO conform to custom, for all the hus-
bands in the world. She was known as
an artist under her maiden name. and if
she were to become Mrs. Somebody her
identity would be lost, at least for a
Cme. The young man she liked proved
to be of somewhat new variety him
self, and agreed to take her name after
their marriage. And so they were mar
rled, and he became Mr.. Adelaide JOHN
son.
The second marriage occurred at ORR
ent, L. L. George c. Wells, aged go. is
famous cook, and has a comfortable
competency. Miss Sadie G. Racket.
aged "a, new woman of the ultra
school, attended one of his dinners, and
immediately fell in love with the cook.
She said that any man who could pre-
pare such delicious roast beef and
dainty floating island deserved to be
married; that the salad was perfection
itself, and man who could dress salad
like that was well calculated to make a
woman happy. The young woman's en-
ioyment of the dinner finally led to her
marriage with the cook. And the re-
port is that according to the prenuptial
arrangements old George will continue
to cook the dinners and look after the
household affairs, while Mrs. Sadie will
swing dumb bells, rid ner bicycle and
float about as her fancy may direct.

The Captain win Have to Explain.

FROM the Albany Herald.
We still have doubts with reference
TO Captain Hammond's candidacy for
C ngress. We do not doubt that he has
had, and still has, the matter under Sc
rious consideration. We are also inclin-
ed to the opinion that he would not be
slow to announce his candidacy if he
thought the way was clear for him to
win. But there's the rub. If he makes the
race for congress he will either have to
repudiate all the nice things that the
goldbug organs, including his home
paper, have been saying about him, and
then revise that Curtis interview of his
printed last spring, in which he CRITICS
ed Senator Bacon and Governor Atkln-
son for their silver views and spoke of
the formation of new party for gold
he will either have to get these matters
adjusted and out of the way or else
come out f1atfooted and 90 before the
people of the district as the champion
of the single gold standard. The latter
you'd mean his certain defeat. for the
people of the second district are not 90,
ing to elect goldbug to congress this
year. They are not going to take a
straddler, either.

Otter hunting is a sport very much en-
loved by Englishmen. The otter Is a
great fish eater and that is why the
fishermen feel themselves compelled 70

offer rewards for otter kills, and that
makes the hunters angry.
Otter hunting is done with dogs and
men. They go whooping up stream on
the otter's trail, the hired men keeping
in the water in line to prevent the ami
malls turning down stream, as the beast
cannot be trailed while going down
The dogs come up with and tear the
otter to death, if the hunt is successful,
but often the otter viii whip any dog In
the water.
An English otter Of over 90 pounds
weight is big one, and few reach that
weight. The biggest one remembered
weighed 81 pounds, and was killed at
Bowthorp, near Warwick. A 36-PouDder
was caught in Skeggles water, West
moreland. Some Englishnen used TO

which is not often killed by gunshot
and Is seldom taken with traps, since
