LOVERS OF THIRTY YEARS WE'D


Indiana Boasts Bright Example in
Consistency and Devotion.
A bright example in constancy ana
tilial devotion is afforded in the expert
ence Of couple recently welded in
Liberty township, Indiana, the newly
married pair being Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Foreman, who reside on their 4OO-acre
farm near Greentown. In point of age
both bride and groom have passed the
half-century mark. Though lovers
from early childhood and betrothed
from youth, the marriage was deferred
until now the engagement covering a
period of thirty years. Young Fore
man had stepmother to whom he was
greatly attached, and to whom he
solemnly pledged to support during her
lifetime, promising not to marry while
she remained alive. Contrary to ex-
pectations, the invalid and dependent
stepmother lived until year or more
ago. During this long wait of nearly
third of a century the lovers scrupuI-
ously observed their vows, toiling on
through the years without a thought
of disregarding the pledges given the
stepmother or breaking faith in any
manner whatever. They grew gray,
lived frugally, saved their earnings and
patiently bided their time. When
death removed the barrier, the lovers
had accumulated sufficient means to
buy the largest farm in the township.
The minister first engaged to perform
the marriage ceremony died of old
age many years ago, and divine of
new generation oficiated at the long
delayed wedding Times-Her

Paper Bottles.

A German paper maker has recently
obtained letters patent on bottles made
of paper, for use on board of ships par
ticularly. 1t has been cause of much
damage to steamer lines that in bad
weather a large number of bottles of
wine and other liquors are broken in
the storerooms, in spite of every precau-
ton. The new bottles are made of a
composition which, with the solution
in which they are made water tight. is
still the inventors secret. After being
impregnated with this fluid the paper
bottles are slowly dried in gas stoves
and this process of drying must be
watched carefully, for otherwise the
bottles would remain porous and allow
the fluids to leak out. These bottles
can be handled roughly without the
least apprehension; neither the pitch
ing nor the rolling of a great steamer
during rough weather nor the break
ing down of truck upon which thew
are loaded loosely would be ant to
damage single paper bottle.

HE1REss KIDNAPPED.

rhe Police of Minneapolis Believe Miss,
Rutherford Has Been Carried Away
The Rutherford family of MinneaP'l
oils is a very wealthy one, and as IL
consists at present only of Mrs Ruth
erford and her daughter Fanny, 1t Will
be seen that this young wom%N Is
heiress to no small fortune. But her
present wealth and future prospects
seem to be more Of curse than
blessing, for they have made her in the
past a target for fortune-hunters, and
now she is missing from home, and the
police have offered reward for j. A,
Morris, who is believed to have .kidnap-
ped the young woman. Morris, who
has long criminal record, met Mrs.
Rutherford and her daughter while
they were travelling in the south last
spring, learned of their wealth, and
that they lived in Minneapolis. On the
9th of May Miss Rutherford disappear
ed from her home, leaving note say
ing that she was going to st. Paul and
would return the following day. Since
then a letter has been received from
her, evidently written under restraint,
saying that she was happily married to
a man she worshipped. The police are
convinced that she was kidnapped by
Morris and is held by him, and they
are making every effort to find her.
Miss Rutherford is about twenty-five
years old and is highly accomplished.
Her father was Capt. George Ruther-
ford, pioneer citizen of Minneapolis,
who left vast estate to his widow and
only daughter. This wealth has
brought Miss Rutherford many suitors,
but she has always refused to leave her
mother, and has expressed no desire
to marry. All these things strengthen
the police in their belief that she has
been kidnapped.

Luxury in Central AFRICA.

We learn from London interviewer
that Zomba, the capital of British Cen
trail Africa, is quite a civilized place,
in which the visitor may require a
dress coat. "If the commissioner asks
you to dine, you will find that he lives
in luxurious mansion built high up
on the shoulder of a lofty mountain.
Your dinner will be cooked by a Hin
doc chef of exquisite cunning, you will
be waited upon by def servants as
black as night, the table will be deco
rated with flowers such as no British
duchess could buy, the view from the
windows will delight your eye. After
dinner you will step out into the veran-
da, perhaps, and smoke your cigar with
the roar of the cascading river in your
ears, or fall into a luxurious chair and
read the last novel from Nudes or the
last batch of papers which the post
man has just delivered. Then early to

A traveller who recently visited India
states that he was astonished by the
precocity of Hindoo children. Many
of them are skillful workmen at an
age when other children are learning
the alphabet. One of the most expert
carvers in wood he saw was boy of
10, and many of the handsomest and
most costly rugs are woven by children
