The Ratified bridegroom.

A minister in Columbus says that
women have more nerve than men as a
rule. This, he says, is especially the
case when it comes to marrying. Some
time since he was called to marry a
young couple in what might be called
the aristocratic circle. The young man
was very much excited, but was trying
to put on bold face for the emergency.
To show that he was not frightened in
the least he concluded to ask the minis
ter if it was customary to kiss the bride.
After suffering for some time he final
ly broke out, "Is cussing kistomary?"
The minister kindly informed him that
it was not under the circumstances, and
the young man was led to the altar like

The Indian settlement near Gordon was
stricken with terror one day during the
latter part Of January by the report that
two dusky residents-Moon Face and John
Canada-had been murdered in the woods
by some unknown assassin, supposed TO
be the agent of the Great Spirit. A half
breed named Seegee rushed madly into the
town, and went from house to house,
yelling the information that he had seen
the bodies of the two murdered Indians
lying In the road, and had been chased
away from the place by tall man wear
ing a. long gray coat. He told the as
tonished natives that the tall man seemed
to spring up in front Of him from a hole
in the ground and that he carried a long,
black instrument in his hand, which re-
sembled a gun barrel The unknown, he
said, walked rapidly along the road in
front of him, toward the PROSTATE bodies
of his two victims, waving the black OBJ
ject, and singing a song In a loud, harsh
voice. Suddenly, the mysterious one turn
ed about, as if to give pursuit to the nalf-
breed, and then it was that the latter took
to his heels.
That day a band of twenty Indians,
headed by the half-breed, went out on the
road in search of the dead bodies of their
friends. They found the two men-not
dead, but sitting on a log near the place
where the half-breed had first discovered
them. They had recovered consciousness
an hour before, they said, and were lit

GERM-PROOF Dr.. BURGESS.
The Man Who Guards the United
States Against Cuban Epidemics.
From the Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
DR.. Burgess is a remarkable man. He
has been in Cuba many years. He has
sailed through epedemics of all sorts
cholera, yellow fever and small-pox-with-
out the slightest fear or nervousness, and
insists that he was born to be hanged.
Disease has no terrors foA him.
With a disposition as kindly and man
ners as gentle as those of Florence Night
ingale or Clara Barton, he can become a
roaring lion if any one attempts to inter-
fere with him in the performance of his
duty, and he has the courage to defy the
captain general and all the armies of Spain
if his official rights are infringed upon,
because he realizes that the public health
of the United States depends upon his
vigilance. Just now Cuba is suffering from
an epidemic of smallpox. In several plac-
es on the island the disease is raging, and
in Havana the death rate from that cause
alone. averages 100 a day. When the
rainy season begins, next month, and the
summer heat comes, yellow fever Will
break out again, and DR.. Burgess stands
between those epedemics and the people
of the United States.
The harbor of Havana is a cesEpool
which for years has received the dEain-
age of the city, and is virtually Guide
sac, with no means of being secured by
tides or fresh water streams. The docks
on the city side of the bay are noteri Gus
as foci Of infection. Under one of them
the sewer from the military hospital,
where contagious diseases of soldiers ai'G
treated, discharges it filth and germs into
the bay. 1t is said that no ship has ever
tied up at that wharf without disease
breaking out among the crew, and the
sailors call it dead mans hole" Dr.
Burgess compelss ali vessels bound for
the United States to anchor as far away
as possible, at the extreme end of the
harbor, where the currents from the ocean
keep the water in motion, and no person
is allowed to board one of these ships
without a permit with his signature. No
steamship agent is allowed to sell ticket
until the applicant produces such a per-
init, and none can be secured until pr.
Burgess is satisfied that he is in good
health and has not been exposed to a con.
tagious disease.
During the smallpox epidemic he has
required all persons desiring to sail for
the United States to snow evidence of re-
| cent vaccination. If they cannot do so
to remain in Havana for a two days stay
he Vaccinates them and compeis them to
have been required to prolong their visit
for twelve days. But he argues that the
inconvenience of one person is not to be
considered when the health Of a whole ma
ton Is at stake.

STORY or AN OWL.
This Bird Jared the Washington
Monument.


From the Philadelphia Record.
In one OF the many glass cases in the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington is
n stuffed owl. This fact in itself is moth
ing remarkable, as there are numerous
other owls of all varieties exhibited there.
But this particular owl Is the one, in the
words Of the late President Hayes, that
therein lies the story.
During Centennial year congress resolv-
ed TO provide the necessary funds for the
completion Of the monument, which up to
that time had been worked at only while
the several smaller appropriations lasted.
II was discovered, however. that the origi-
nal foundation was likely to prove incapa-
Bile of sustaining the enormous weight Of
marble necessary for carrying the shaft
$50 feet above terra frma. new foun-
dalton was therefore needed, and archi-
tects thought a solid concrete bed 100 feet
square and nearly fourteen feet In thick
ness would accomplish the strengthening
desired.
During the operation OF replacing the
old foundation Il was considered expedl-
ont TO provide means for noting carefully
the slightest vibration Of the walls lest
the monument might be in danger of col
lapslng. Accordingly heavy weight was
suspended by a stout thread from the apex
TO a pan OF thick syrup located in the
base. so that no chance drafts OF air would
be likely to sway the weight. An ingen-
ious contrlvance was so attached 90 the
weight that the slightest vibration OF the
SHAFT would be faithfully recorded, and is
insecurity would at once be an established
fact.
one morning a few months after these
careful precautions had been taken there
was a great commotion among the work
