Has Money to Throw AWAY,

Three years ago Peter Wilborg left
his home in California for Cooks Inlet,
Alaska. For nearly three years he
worked necessarily in the gold regions.
Last November he came back to the
States on visit, bringing with him
$4,000 in gold dust and nuggets. After
banking $50, 5000 in San Francisco, he
started out to have a good time on the
remaining $4,000. He spent four
months in Eastern and Southern cities,
spending the larger part Of his pocket
money.
Friday night he left Port Townsend,
Wash, on the steamer City of Topeka
on his return to the Alaskan gold fields.
While the steamer was lying at the
wharf he amused himself by throwing
double handfulls Of silver dollars at the
boys on the wharf. Every boy who
could hit the eccentric Alaskan miner
with SNOWFALL received a handful Ct
coin in return.-New York Journal.

lowing experience: ''Recently was

what, but could find no relief for
the awful fits of indigestion. When

sold me box Of Ripans Tabules for

IL Pursues Two EminentIy Respectable
Ladies Who Could Not Agree.
Not long ago there were two ladies
stopping at the same boarding house.
They were single ladies, be it said, and
both highly respectable. But for some
reason, says the Minneapolis Times,
known only to themselves, they
couldn't get along" and matters went
between them from bad to worse till
they quit speaking"
They both got tired, of course, living
in the same house with mortal enemy,
and finally both determined to move.
Arrangements were made, and, as luck
would have it, both moved the same
day. Lady No. loaded up her house
hold goods in the morning, and in the
afternoon dray pulled up and car
ried away the trunk, shawlstraps, and
other effects of lady No. 2.
Lady No. was just composing her.
self to view the surroundings of her
new lodging place, when a wagon
stopped at the front door and began to
unload a collection of articles unmis-
takably feminine. She sized up the
trunk and went downstairs, filled with
a horrible suspicion, to interview the
landlady.
Her suspicious were true. They had
moved into the same house.
There is no more to the story. Of
course, they should have made up their
differences and lived in peace and char
ity ever after. But they did not. Lady
No. 2 never got her trunk inside of the
house

PILGRIMAGE TO ROME.
Pope to Be Presented with Stars
and Stripes by Americans.
Third National Tour of Celebrated Points
of Interest to CathoIics-Audlence
with Leo XIII. to BE Very
Imposing.

Preparations are well under way for
| the third American national pilgrimage
to Rome, Lourdes and the continental
shrines. 1t will be under the spiritual
direction of the Fathers of Mercy, of
West Twenty-fourth street, New York,
and will be organized by Mr.. and Mrs.
F. H. Throop, of that city. Rev. William
Smith, S. P. NJ, will accompany the pill
Crims as father director. According TO
the present intention the pilgrims will
leave New York on Wednesday, July 8.
They expect to reach Antwerp on Sun
day, July 10. The pilgrims will visit
Cologne, Heidelberg, Luzerne, Milan,
Venice, Florence, Padua, Loretto, Bo-
logna, Rome, Pisa, Genoa, Marseilles,
Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lourdes and Paris.
At Rome and Paris week will be spent
in each place sightseeing. The start
for home will be made on September s.
For those who may desire it a section
has been arranged to leave Paris on
Monday, August 81, for London, allow
ing four days in the latter city, joining
the main party again in Antwerp the
following Saturday morning. For those
who wish to visit Ireland, Scotland and
the cathedral towns in England in adj
vance a section has been arranged to
leave on June 4. The pope was so much
pleased by the visit of the pilgrims last
August that Cardinal Rampolla, the
pope's secretary of state, and vatican
officials have promised to make the audi
ence with Leo NH. during the stay in
Rome as imposing as possible. Rev. DR..
O'Connell, the new rector of the Ameri-
can college in Rome, has also given as
surances of his interest in the visit. The
pope will be presented by the pilgrims
with handsome silk flag of the stars
and stripes. Last year he blessed three
flags that the pilgrims carried, and
which they left at the shrines at Loret-
ia, Lourdes and at Paray lie Monial. At
this time the pope expressed regrets
that they did not bring one to him. The
flag will be of the finest texture and ex-
actly the kind issued by the government
to the regiments of the United States
army. Already many applications have
been received for places in the pilgrim |
age. 1t is expected that every state will |
be represented.

DEAD, YET ALIVE.
An Interesting Enoch Arden Case In an
English Court.

An Interesting Enoch Arden Case In an
English Court.
A curious Enoch Arden case, in which
the lord justice of appeal had to inter
vene in order to bring a man to life
again legally, has just been decided in
England. Forty-two years ago q wom-
an married a sailor in the British navy,
who deserted, went to the United
States and was not heard of again for
SO years. Six years after his disap-
pearance she married another man,
with whom she lived for IS years, but
from whom she at last obtained n judi
cial separation and alimony in 1892.
The second husband pleaded that his
marriage was null, as her first hus-
band was alive at the time, but the jury
in the divorce court found that the man
was dead. Last year husband No. 2
discovered husband No. /, brought suit
again and produced him in court, where
he was fully identified, but the judge
held that as jury had declared he was
dead, he could not admit that he was
alive and dismissed the suit. The appel
late judges seem to be of his opinion,
for they refused to allow the appeal and
annul the marriage on the ground of
the mans being alive till the second
husband had given security that he
would pay the woman an allowance.

NO PLACES FOR THEM.

Large Graduating Class of West Pointers
and Only a Few Army Vacancies.
Those cadets who will complete the
four-years' course at West Point in June
will be confronted with the most ex-
traordinary situation that ever has con-
fronted the lot of young aspirants for
army commissions. They viii find on
graduation morning probably not moro
than a dozen vacancies in all the de-
partments of the service for some 70
men. This condition of affairs is due
to the number of appointments made
from the ranks in the last year and the
comparatively few retirements and cas-.
ualties. Uusally at this time of the
year the class about to be graduated has
some 30 or 40 vacancies waiting to be
filled, and for years there has been gen.
orally a surplus above those necessary
for the West Pointers. The result was
that a few years ago many civilians
received appointments in the army,
among them the sons of Gen. Schofiel1
and Senator Sewell.
Despite the discouraging outlook, all
the cadets Will be provided for eventual
ly, as the law directs that all graduates
of West Point shall be commissioned in
some branch of the army. The depart
ment, therefore, will have to designate
at least 60 of the cadets additional Sec
ond lieutenants and place them on the
list awaiting vacancies.
