YOUNGEST OF BRIDES.
Mrs. Atkinson, of Georgia, Is Just
Fourteen Years Old.
And Her Boy Husband Has Reached
the Mature Age of Sixteen-A Sem
sationaI EICpement in
High Society.

Old Cassius NJ. Clay's 15-year-old
bride that was has rival in youthful
matrimonial experience. This isthe IA
year-old daughter of Mr.. c. P. Byrd, a
well-known Atlanta (Ga.) publisher.
She eloped recently with the 16-year-old
son of Gov. w. Y. Atkinson, and they
were married on the day Of the elope-
ment.
Among the lower classes of Italy and
Spain and other southern countries,
marriage at that age is not uncommon,
but in the temperate zone, among civil
lied people, and especially the higher
classes, Miss Ada Byrd's case is the only
one on record thus far.
In imitation of their elders these
childish lovers had planned their mar
rage for weeks, and had everything in
readiness for the elopement. With the
assistance of friends it was so success
fully managed that they were man and
wife before their parents could inter-
fere. The couple had not only the OBJ
stacles of extreme youth to overcome,
but also of distance. It seems that a
few weeks ago young Atkinson, who
was a clerk in the executive depart
ment of the state, took out a license in
Atlanta, intending to marry his girl
love, when the plot was discovered and
nipped in the bud by the fathers of
the young clippers.
Miss Byrd was sent to her grand
mother at Ayimer' thus putting dis
tance between her and her lover. Soon
after the young lady's departure Gov.
Atkinson left for tour of inspection
through the state. The day after his
son, John p, the hero of this matri-
monial escapade, drew $3.50 from the
state treasurer, left word with a serv.
ant that he was going to Griffin, and left
for Kingston, where he supposed Miss
Byrd was staying, attending school.
Mrs. Atkinson, the young mans
mother, thought nothing of her sons
visit to Griffin, knowing that the family
had relatives in that place. 1t was also

MAlARIAL PARASITES.
Fatal Infectious Disease in India and
Africa.


The tsetse fly disease of Africa has re-
Gently been shown by the researches OF
Bruce to be due to a flagellate infu-
scrium which is found in the blood of
infected animals, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. This disease is fatal to
the OK, the horse, the dog, the sheer
and the ass, but not to the indigenous
wild animals in the region infested by
the tsetse fly. The researches of Bruce
indicate that the fly acts as carrier of
the parasite from diseased to healthy
animals. He has shown by experiment
that after feeding on the blood of an
infected animal the tsetse fly can COM
nunicate the disease to healthy ami
NAL by its bite. After short period of
incubation the haematoza appear in the
blood concurrently with the develop
ment of fever and followed by rapidly
progressive inaemia, dropsy and death
The so-called "surra disease" which
prevails in certain portions of India, is
believed to be due to similar parasitic
protozoan (trypanosma evansD. Ac-
cording to Lingard this infusorium eX-
lists as an innocuous parasite in the
blood of rats in India. 1t is not catho-
genie, or only feebly so, for the native
OK of India, but gives rise to fatal in
fictitious disease in horses. dogs and
camels.

SCIENCE AND PRESENTIMENTS
Phenomenon Usually Susceptible of
a Telepathic Explanation.


Nine times in the course of my own
life 1 have had what is called pre-
sentiment" Eight times l wrote it
down atonce, before learning whether it
was true or false, and the ninth time
1 spoke of it, says Appleton's Science
Monthly. Three of these were false, one
partly true and partly false, one was
lot verified, but probably false. All
these relate to subjects, in my thoughts
and were probably suggested by circum-
stances. Four were true, of which one
might have been suggested by circum-
stances. The other three were not only
true and not apparently suggested by
circumstances but were among the most
agitating experiences of my life. One
drove me in spite of the resistance of
my reason to take a journey which
seemed the act of lunatic and proved
the wisest thing could do. Another
impelled me to write letter to per-
son $50 miles away, ITO whom had
written few hours before, but who
happened to be in great trouble at the
moment felt the impulse. The third
gave me absolute assurance that the
very thing was about to happen which
1 believed to be of all things most i'm
possible. I do not, of course, quote
these few experiences as proving the
existence of telepathy, but merely as

THE DEAF GIRL UNDERSTOOD.
Young Mans Tender Remark to His
True Love.

True Love.
1t doesn't always pay to express your
Utmost thought even guardedly in the
presence of deaf mutes, says the Boston
Record. A story was told at the meeting
of the Woman Suffrage association the
other afternoon which showed conclu-
sively the wisdom of the above remark
A devoted couple who, apparently,
had been long separated were thrust
suddenly into each others company at
a largely-attended reception. The lady
who told the story said that she was
present in company with an educated
deaf girl. The happy reunited pair dis
played fully the thoughts that were in
their hearts by the beam upon their
countenances. Suddenly the young man
drew near to the one whom he adored
and said, in low tone, inaudible to
those about him, few seemingly af-
fectionate words.
The deaf girl watched the proceedings
with intense interest and suddenly
broke into broad grin. Her companion
inquired what it was that amused her.
She turned about so that the couple
could not see her and replied:
THAT man said: If all these people
were not here I'd kiss you. If they don't
get out of the way pretty soon l shall
have to before them The girl replied:
Then l shall scream"
The deaf girl understood their words
by the motion of their lips.

CHINAMEN SHUT OUT.
Only IA Limited Number to Be Admit
ted for Tennessee Exposition.


The Encouragement has rendered an
opinion to the secretary of the treasury
in which he holds that, under the joint
resolution of congress suspending the
operation of certain parts of the i'm
migration laws so as to admit foreign
crs to be employed i'll various capacities
in connection with the Nashville
(Tenn.) exposition, the secretary has
the right to limit the number to be so
admitted. The question was raised as
to the admission of several hundred
Chinese, who had arrived on the border,
and had applied for entrance. The di-
Encouragement of the exposition, in an
swer to inquiries from the department,
stated that 200 Chinese should be adj
mitted under concessions already
granted, and that number will be al
lowed to proceed, but no more. This
will necessitate the return to China of
over a hundred now at Port Townsend,
and probably many more soon to arrive.

ly telepathic phenomena"
The vast majority of apparently SUI
pernorInal phenomena are susceptible
of a telepathic explanation, but in a
few cases one is driven to other concep-
tons. Sometimes knowledge is shown
of events not known 10 anyone, and at
other times a percipient will seem to
"see" things at a distance, or to become
aware of events remote in time.
