board of election supervisors, and showed
that those known as administration

one of the most hotly contested and inter

question OF personal popularity, or even
of the fitness of candidates. which the

ROMANTIC MISS SKINNER.
Preferred an Eiopement to Quiet
Home Wedding.

Preferred an EiOpement TO n Quiet
Home Wedding.
The elopement epidemic seems TO be
progressing. The latest couple to sur
prise relatives and friends is Miss Mildred,
better Known as Miss ''Goldie," Skinner
aud Mr. George E-wyne. Both enjoy a
large circle of aoquaintances. and Miss
Skinner comes of distinguished stock, be-
ing a granddaughter of Admiral Skinner.
On June the couple started out,
ostensbly to the theater, but instead
boarded the ferry for Alexandria. Once
in that historic old town it was an easy
matter to secure license and minis
ter, and the twain Were soon made one
1t was :he brides birthday, and she was
gowned in a beautiful white silk, the
birthday gift OF her father.
The parents OF the young lady We're not
Informed of what had transpired, and it
was kept quiet until last Thursday, when
by some hook or crook Mr.. Skinner became
cognizant OF the fact and confronted the
young people withit.
No objection had ever been made to the
match and the parents were anxious to
know why this smode OF procedure had been
selected. I'VE just wanted TO be romantic
and right up to date, so we took the
foolish idea into our heads Co run away
and getinaTried, and We did so, explained
Miss Goldie-
The parents did not appreciate the ro-
nance of the affair and said as much,
but as the couple begged forgiveness and
promised never to do it again, peace has
been restored and the happiness OF lie WHY
welded bliss is unbroken.
The bride is nineteen years old, plump
and pretty and seems as satisfied over
the escapade as il it Were an every day
occurrence.

The Human Human Body
An Electrical Machine.

When the physicians become aware that
the human BODY closely resembles an cleo
trical machine, and apply to it the same
comm on sense ideas which govern All
mechanical contriyances, diseases VIII be
treated more nationally and successfully.
Every one knows that the spinal cord, wlilch
Is bundle OF nerves, coming from the
brain, il seriously Injured or diseased, the
ncrve-foIce, which is chiefly generated in
the brain, can no longer reach the lower
portion OF the body. The connection is
broken. WHERE THERE Is NO NERV E
FORCE THERE CAN BEN0 SENSA TION,
NO LIFE. Hence, the strength and health
OF every organ OF the body depend upon
that portion of the nervous system which
supplies it with nerve e-power.

WHAT BECAME OF THEM2
Young Couple Leave Home for Birming-
ham to Get Married-Heard From
Last at Bessemer.

News reached this city yesterday after
noon that the little town of Magline on
the Louisville and Nashville railroad was
disturbed over the disappearance of two
of its young people young man
named Benge went for a walk Sunday
afternoon with Miss Ingram, and they
were last seen going towards Dogwood
station, about a mile distant.
From parties who We're ON board the
afternoon train last Sunday 1t was learn
ed that the young people had boarded
that train a Dogwood station. On board
they met friend and told him that they
were coming to Birmingham to get mar
ried. This gentleman, wishing to assist
the young people in the accomplishment
of their desire, advised them to leave the
train at Bessemer and come into this city
over the dummy line and that by doing
so they would escape any officer who
might be in waiting at the Birmingham
depot.
The couple got off at Bessemer, as d.
rected, but have not succeeded in getting
married as yet. No license was issued to
such a couple up to last night.
Although they spoke in all seriousness
of their intentions of getting married, the
young people may have returned to their
homes without having become husband
and wife. At any rate, nothing has been
seen of them since they left the passenger
train at Bessemer Sunday afternoon
