No other country offers such opportuni-
ties to those desiring to marry as America.
In that respect it is truly the home of the
free and the land Of the brave, not to saw
the fooifardy. In some countries those
matrimonially inclined have to get the pa
rents consent, in others the prospective
bridegroom has to show that he can sum
port a wife. UIcle Sam throws no such
obstacles in the path of true love- He rec
oGnizes every mans right to starve a wo-
man If she is willing. and provided one can
raise the slight fee necessary for the Ii
cense. there is nothing TO hinder him from
getting married if he car find a woman of
the same mind. In South Africa the saw
age tribes have a peculiar ceremony which,
they put the matrimonial candidat lie
through PREVIOUS to his entering the holy
estate. His hands are tied I'D in a bag
containing fire ants for two hours. If he
bears unmcved the torture of their stings
he is considered qualified to cope with the
nagging ard daily jar and fret of married
life. Such a man would ms Ike an admir-
able husha nd. He would not he upset bv
the thoughts of a spring bonnet or grow

for those about to marry Is a good idea
that civilized neople might adopt.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Bloody Work BY Coachman in
New Jersey.

ALLENDALE, n. j., September s.
A shocking double tragedy aroused the
residents of this town near the Saddle
River today. Isaac Carlyle, of New
York city. while a guest at the
country residence of the Wandelle. the
family of the late Civil Justice Wandell.
was shot down in cold blood by Will
liam Doing, who had been coachman
in the service of the family for nine
teen years. After numbering Carlyle.
the coachman attempted to kill Frank
Wandell, and failing in this turned the
weapon upon himself and sent a bullet
Through his own heart
Not the slightest motive cam be
ascribed for the terrible crime The
coachman and Mr.. Carlyle had been the
best of friends so far as is known.
The Wandells and the Carly.es have
been on intimate terms for many years.
The Wandells are very wealthy, own
ing much property in the vicinity OF
Eishty-third street and Lexington
avenue, New York. The family con-
sists OF mother. two sons and two
grown daughters. The live in a pala-
thai house in Eighey-third street. near
Lexington avenue, and their country
seat here has been the scene of many
social events. The Carlyle family con-
sisted of Isaac 3. Carlyle, the father;
his wife and two sons. Mr.. Carlyle is
a retired real estate dealer, and the
murdered man, who was SO years of
age was his youngest son.
Mr.. Carlyle had just arrived. and
while walking through the grounds
with Frank Wanden, met the coach
man, who, in return fer a pleasant
greeting, discharged the contents of a.
shotgun at him. killing him instantly.
Mr. WandeH fled before the coachman
could reload. and the latter then turned
the gun upon himself. No suspicious
actions had been detected on the part
Of the coarhman, but il is thought that
he became suddenly insane, and seeing
Mr.. Carlyle. who was supposed to be
one CT his best friends, he determined
TO kill him.

AER0NAUT DROWNED.
With His Burning Balloon He Fails
Into the Water Near He'll Gate.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Several per
sons on Wards Island, about $50 last
night, saw a large balloon about 500
feet in the air drifting to the south
east. When about 800 feet south of
Niger Rock the balloon was seen
TO be on FIRE. In an instant it began
to descend rapidly and, striking the
water of Hell Gate, sank Immediately
from Wards Island state that there
was basket attached to the balloon
and in the dusk of the evening they
saw in II what they supposed to be g
man, and from his motions he Yves
either throwing out ballast or waving
a flag. When the basket descended into
the strong current of He'll Gate the
balloon settled over it and the mass
disappeared so quickly beneath the
water that party which put out in
boat at once could find no trace of it
Those who saw it say the balloon was
burning when it struck the water.
The men on Wards Island believe
that the balloonist was caught under
the canvas and being unable to extri-
cate himself was drowned.
A steam launch which was passing
at the time the balloon struck the
water, kept up a constant Whistling
and il was thought that the balloonist,
possibly, had been picked up by the
craft, although those familiar with the
currents and tides in this part of the
river say that this was almost impoS-
sible. The man could scarcely live a
minute, no matter how powerful a
swimmer he might be in the water
near Niger Rock" in the flood tide.
The current was so swift that no one
could make Roadway against it If he
escaped the rocks, he would be borne
UP the stream and his chances of MAX
ing the shore would be small
The balloon was of the kind ordinar-
lily used in making ascensions for a dis
play 1t came from the northwest and
probably was sent up at some Labor
day celebration in New Jersey.
The police are confident that the
aeronaut was drowned, and the work
of dragging for the body will be begun
this morning. Several places up the
sound were telephoned to last night,
but at none was there a report of a
steam launch coming in with a man
rescued from drowning.

a Young and Beautiful Wife Who
Thinks More of the other Fellow
Than She Does OF Her Husband.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.--A Sun spec
ial from Dublin, Georgia, says:
Mrs Fannie Twiggs is the young
and beautiful wife Of Judge H. D.
Twiggs. Her name has been involved
with that OF George NJ. Brinson, a
wealthy real estate owner. and now
the nominee for representative on the
Democratic ticket in Emanuel county.
Crimson and Mrs. Twtggs have been
in correspondence with each other for
several weeks Sunday Mr.. Crimson
visited Collins, a small station on the
Georgia & Alabama railroad He re-
NAMED until evening. On going to
the station to leave town he pulled
his handkerchief from mis- coat, and a
letter dropped to the ground. Some
men picked it up. and before they
could return it to the owner the train
left The men read the missive. 1t
was from Mrs. Twiggs. inviting Mr..
crimson to so on pleasure trip to the
Iybse Island. a summer resort near
savannah, and also asking him to
bring along friend, as she had a
young woman friend who would ac-
company her.
The letter was mailed to Judge
IWlSgS- He was very angry on reading
II, and scene ensued when he con-
fronted his wife. He then sent a chal-
lenge for a duel to BrinsOn and re-
quested an immediate reply. Brinson
studied the situation and declined to
participate in such an unlawful pro

that he would kill him on first sight.

The Campnign Opened in Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. S.-The Re-
publicans opened the campaign in Bal
timore last night with a big mass
meeting at Music hall. 1t was under
the joint auspices of the state and city
committees, and when called to order
by Senator-elact Wellington there
were between $500 and 1900 persons
present. The galleries were filed with
ladies and their escorts. A few gold
standard Democrats came to hear the
chief orator, John NJ. Thurston of Ne
braska, denounce unlimited coinage
and the Chicago platform generally.
Most of them remained until the close
of the meeting, attentively listening to
the speech, but others created some
confusion by interrupting Senator
Thurston with questions and in a few
cases leaving the hall.
A new feature in Republican meet
ings in this state was introduced Sew
eral campaign songs were distributed
and the audience sang them to familiar
tunes and with evident relish. Senator
Thurston talked for an hour and a
half He devoted a little time to labor
and then repeated the addresses de-
livered in New York last Saturday
night. He also called attention to a
dodger which had been distributed at
the doors of the hall, in which the
attempt was made to show that he
was for silver three years ago. This
answer dismissed the charge by simple
denial and the assertion that no one
could know better than Mr.. Bryan that
he CThurston) had always been for
sound money.
