TOLD FOR WOMEN.

The bicycle wedding which recently
electrified London, as the bride wore the
regulation white satin and veil, has had
a rival in the marriage of the young
Partisan who went to the church in a
carriage propelled by an electric motor.
The woman who wants to make herself
famous now seems to have little else left
her than balloon in which to tuck her
happy lover, the minister and couple
of witnesses.
Mime. Adam, the prominent Partisan
journalist, was driven into the work by
the unhappiness of her first experience
as wife. Her parents married her
when she was a girl of Is to a notary in
a provincial town. She left her hus-
band, and with the aid of George Sand
wrote herself into fame in Paris. Her
second husband was a senator and left
her fortune at his death. This enabled

savages who abstained from human food
rarely ate meat of any kind and were a
puny lot. The most curious part of his
argument was that the flesh of women
was much more digestible and far more
nutritious than that of men; many
tribes recognize the fact and eat only

of Indiana, died at five o'clock Saturday
morning at his home in this city, No.
los Maryland avenue, northeast.
Mr.. Voorhees, death was caused by an
attack Of angina pectoris. The sena-
tors health was so poor during the re-
cent political campaign that he could
not participate in it, but after his re-
turn to Washington in November he
seemed to improve in health. Two
weeks ago the old rheumatic troubles re-
turned and on Wednesday he became
even more alarming, but the senator
did not confine himself to his bed, and
his family felt no immediate alarm. 1t
was not, indeed. until half an hour be-
fore his final summons came that anyone
realized death was near.
The senator's son, Reese n. Voorhees,,
had remained in the room with his ia
ther during the night and was awak-
ened about four o'clock in the morn
ing by his father, who was then suffer
ing great pain in the region of the

pain would pass away. Half an hour
