THE WHISPERED BOY
Marries His Teacher, Who Is Twice
His Are.

His Age.
Despite the fact that Harry NJ. Payne had to
coax out his whiskers to look old he has sue
ceeded in marrying fair maiden who is so
much older than he that folks down at South
oId, l.. l., are all talking about It,, says the
New York World.
Young Payne is one Of those tall fellows
who will always look boyish. He Is so tall
that he decided to grow whiskers 10 make
him look manly. He had a blooming Van
Dyke beard when he was sixteen years old.
Now that he is eighteen his whiskers have
fine wiry appearance which just matches his
figure.
The bride of the whiskered boy, as they
call him at Southold, was Miss Anna A.
Allis, fair school teacher, whose age is
said to be twice that of her spouse. She Is
said to be worth considerable money
She came from Harrisburg, Pa. some time
ago, and secured a position in the Southold
academy. From the day the coupe met the
lad loved. He confessed it. He was in her
class and paid strict attention to his lessons
and teacher.
At Miss Alliss boarding house young
Payne's admiration caused much trouble. He
was always around, and the extra meals he
ate were something to make any boarding
mistress, sick at heart. Then the couple were
SO much on the front stoop that other = in
mates Of the place complained. Harry was
politely asked to make his calls less ire
quent, But he just wouldn't.
Five times a day he yanked at the board
ing house door bell.
Each time Miss Allis would try to get to
the door ahead of the boarding mistress. IL
she didn't Harry would get fearful look
and would be told that there was something
else to do besides opening the door all day.
But Harry was as bold lover as ever wooed
fair lady, and he kept up his visits and was
finally rewarded.
On Aug II away went the couple to tiar-
risburg. Rev. J. Wesley Rue was deceived
by Harry's whiskers and made him the hus-
band of the fair Miss Allis
Mother and Father Payne say the boy Is
in Montreal and has written for their bless-
ing. They feel sure that his wife will take
good cara of him and are inclined to forgive
Payne was student at Lafayette college
a few months ago, and the boys there did
not like lis whiskers. So they TOOK hlm 10
barber shop and cut off his beard. The boy
left the institution.

session, and when the commission re-

but as several of the gentlemen want
changes of assignment the list Will not
be made public until finally arranged.
There will be three main committees,
namely, on gold and silver; on United

rency. The adjournment Will give the
members opportunity to attend to prl-

business men having large private in

out that the members feel that thelr
Dersonal attendance at the sessions OF

TECHNICAL

One of the kind of who like to get

A whisky glass and siphon was placed
upon the bar while the customer was speak

requisite amount of liquor he poured 1t ON
the ice and filled up the glass with setzer.
AS the man slipped it he said:
''Now. that's what l call high ball.
That's right said the barkeeper, but
YOU can't most always tell. You see. I'm
getting careful. During the hot spell, about
ten days ago, a fellow asked for high ball,
and after he had drank it they took him to
the Emergency hospital. He was in this
morning, and told me all about it. He
wasn't used to anything stronger than a
horses neck, and that's what he wanted.

ing that the government pass a law reduc-
ing taxation in proportion to the number
of children in the taxpayers family. and
that this principle be applied to all finan-
cial laws. In addition, where the num-
Der of servants exceed the number of chill
dren. the taxpayer is to be subjected to
an exceptional surtax, and all favors at
the disposal of the state are to be reserved
for the members of large families. An
other proposition which is finding consid-
cradle favor is that the government should
educate and care for all children over six

FRENZY OF FEAR.
BarriOs the Dictator Acting Like a
Madm0n,

Madman.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 24.-Late
last night the following private dis
patch4sWass received in this city from
ChampericO, Guatemala, via Acapulco:
"Champerico and San Felipe are both
in the hands of the insurgents Bar
rios has shot and imprisoned prom
inent men who sympathize with the
reVOlutioniStS. The wives of revolu-
tionists have also been arrested
Anarchy is feared"
A letter from the city of Guatemala
has also been received The writer de-
clares that everything, at the time of
writing, was in a state of chaos. Bar
rios, he says, has lost his head from
fright and in a delirium of terror is
imprisoning and shooting all who
evince the slightest leaning towards the
insurgents cause. Loans are collected
by force and death is the penalty for
tator. Francisco Castillo, Barrios'
chief of police, under the orders of his
superior, has, it is asserted, usurped
the places of the civil officers. Barrios
himself is in constant fear of assassin
alton. Two hundred soldiers sleep in
the palace day and night and he is
constantly attended by a guard of
picked men, who never leave him alone,
accompanying him even to his bath.
The residence of Mrs. Barrios is guard
ed by a large force of police. AT the
other country places of the president,
police are encamped to prevent the
destruction of property.

COL0RED CHILDREN BARRED.
Police Keep Them Out of the
Schools at Alton.

Schools at Alton.
ALTON, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-The city au-
thorities have taken a hand in the
separate school question. The chief of
police was instructed to take his entire
night and day force and keep the
eolored children and their parents out
of the white schools. For time it
seemed that this policy would precipi-
tate serious trouble. Policemen were
stationed at each of the schools and
when the colored people came with
their children and sought to enter as
they had the day before. the officers
stood at the doors and refused them
entrance. At the Washington school,
which is in portion Of the city where
the colored people outnumber the
whites, the negroes congregated on
hill back of the school house and held
a consultation. They decided to at
tempt to put the children into the
the school in spite Of the officers and
marched over to the school yard. For
time it seemed that trouble could only
be aVerted by permitting the negroes to
enter, but the police held their ground
and threatened to arrest any one who
shouA attempt to enter the school
against orders. The men and women
then remained at a distance and urged
the children to go in. Some of them
attempted IL, DuI 'Cney were sent back
by the police and none were success
full save a few boys who climbed in at
the windows, while the officers guarded
the doors. They were promptly dis
lodged, and the colored people then re-
tired again to the hill back of the
school house, where they remained
several hours and then returned to
their homes. At the Irving and Lincoln
schools, the same scenes were repeated.
committee of three colored men,
accompanied by their attorney, then
called upon President Fink Of the
school board, and asked him if it was
the intention of the board to persist
In the policy of excluding the colored
children from the schools attended by
the whites. Mr.. Fink assured them
that such was the intention of the
board. The colored people then held
another meeting and instructed three
OF their number to go to Springfield
and meet Gen. Palmer, who had wired
them that he would assist them in an
effort to secure, in the federal court,
mandamus compelling the city au-
thorities to permit the negroes to at
tend school with the white children
The negroes insist that the law is on
their side and fatty refuse to send
their children to the schools built for
them. The supreme court decisions in
similar cases at Galesburg, Quincy
and Upper Alton, encourage them in
the belief that they will triumph in the
courts.
