The Ohio River Assists Lonely
Young Woman 40 Find
Husband.

Miss Edna House, of Bromley, near
Cincinnati, was an ambitious young
woman, who on one September after
noon became tired of single blessedness
and resolved 10 secure herself a hus-
band.
She cast a bottle upon the waves of
the Ohio, in which, before sealing, she
had placed a note which read:
THE finder Of this will please correspond
with me at once. / am lonely because the
Bromley boys are too slow.
EDNA HOUSE"
The missive danced along until it
was lost TO sight, and the young damsel
had almost forgotten its existence when
one day month later she received a
note from John Eggleston, farmer of
North Bend, Ky, which stated that he
had found the bottle and intended to
comply with the note found therein.
He did so, and an exchange Of photo
graphs followed.
Shortly afterward Bromley people
were startled by the appearance one
Sunday afternoon Of new rig in front
of the House homestead, and investiga-
ton revealed the fact that Eggleston
had come to make the acquaintance of
Miss House. Since then frequent visits
have been made, and the gossips of
the town predicted a speedy union of
the two young hearts.
The expectations were realized one
day lately when Eggleston arrived in
town dressed in his best, and soon the
two were seen vending their way
toward the office of Squire Anderson,

ASHES TO ASHES.

The Body of Miss willard Cre"at-
cd as Had Been Her Expressed
Wish.
CHICAGO, April 9.-The remains of
Miss Frances E. Willard were cremst-
ed today at Graceland cemetery. Al
though little if anything, had been
said in advance as to the cremation
of the remains of the celebrated presi-
dent of the w C. T. u, it is stated
that such procedure was in accord
ance with her repeatedly expressed
wish. Miss Anna Gordon, Miss Will
lard's private secretary: Mrs. y. M. n.
Stevens, the new president Of the w.
G.. T. u, and few others were pres
ent. The ashes were taken to RoSeh1ll
cemetery, where services will he held
tomorrow. The ashes will then be in
tered in the Willard family lot at Rose
Hill.
Through the efforts of the few of
Miss Wizards friends who knew of
the contemplated incarceration, secrecy
was maintained to the plans, and
today, when the body was removed
from the receiving vault in Rose Hill
cemetery, less than a dozen persons
were aware of it. and even the attend
ants at Graceland were ignorant as to
the identity of the person for whom
the fires had been kindled. Those of
the officials of the national OrganiZa-
ton who had been notified of the plans
were much chagrined when they learn
ed that the news had become public.
1t was known to those who have
read Miss Wizards book, ''Glimpses of
Fifty Years. that it was her desire
that this disposition of her remains
be made, but in all the elaborate flu
neral preparations and memorial SerV-
ices which have transpired since her
death, no allusion has been made to
the fulfillment of her request. This
secrecy was observed it was said. at
the Woman's temple today, to avoid
the notoriety which would follow and
to prevent the congregation of a curl
Gus crowd at Graceland during the
crema ion.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Senator
Zones. chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, has transmitted the
correspondence and other papers bear
ing the effort to secure the removal of
Hon. w. f. Harrity, of Pennsylvania,
fl ON the position of member of the ma
tional committee of that state to the
other members with view to securing
their votes on the question.
The movement is the result of the
action of Democratic convention of the
state of Pennsylvania and of the eX
ecutive committee of the Democratic
committee of that state of which MIR.
Harrity'S removal was urged on the
ground that he is not in harmony with
the Democratic party of the United
States, and Mr.. Guffey was recon-
mended as his successor,
The information regarding this ac-
ton was forwarded to Senator Jones
by State Chairman Garman, and Mr..
Jones was requested to take the mat
ter up The latter forwarded Mr.. Car
mans letter to Mr.. Harrity, and he re-
ceived from him a reply, in which he
asserts that the charges upon which
his removal is sought are unfounded,
and defends his record as Democrat.
Mr. Harrity's letter was then submit
ted to Mr.. Garman, who made no reply.
These are the principal papers con-
shutting the record of the case, which
has been sent through the mails IN
printed form to the various members
of the national committee within the
past day or two.
The members are expected to send
their votes by mail to the chairman,
and the case will not be decided until
all the votes are received. Hence maj
action probably will be postponed Tor
several weeks.

Ing attended the deceased during his late

The funeral expenses amounted to SIPS. one
nall OF which was to be paid by the police
force and the other by the lodge of which
Mcguire was member. Capt. Lowell in his
accounting, states that a collection was
taken up by the police force to defray the
one-half of the burial expenses but only SAG
was raised. In order to secure the add ,tionaI
SlS he sold two overcoats and a trunk be-
longing to the estate and turned this sum

A Question the Courts VIII BE Asked

Judge Brill yesterday filed on order in the
case OF +. III. Ozmun against John Wagner
sner1n, denying the motion of defendant for
judgment on the pleadings.
Inc question as to whether Mr. Ozmun ia
NONRESIDENT of the state while attending
10 ms duties as consul at Stuttgart. Judge
b1Ill says. must be decided by a trial
George l.. Farwell secured Judgment
against Ozmun, and an execution was duIy
delivered to the sheriff who levied on the
library and other personal effects of Ozmun
Attorneys for Ozmun at once commenced
suit against the sheriff, and demanded that
the goods be released from the levy on the
ground that he still a resident of Min
nesota. and the property was exempt.
Sheriff Wagner moved for judgment on the
pleadings. The memorandum by Judge Brill
denying the motion Is as follows:
The mere temporary absence of plaintiff
from the state for the purpose of perform
ing his official duties as a representative
of the government does not deprive him of
the benefit of our exemption laws. An is
sue is raised by the pleadings as to wheth-
er PLAINTIFFS removal is temporary or of
such character as to render him an
actual nonresident. and that question must
be determined by trial.
The case will come for trial at the May
term of the district court.

A judge ought TO play whist or chess or
nothing. If any game less intellectual than
these appeals to the judicial mind his honor
should confine himself to his books and his
cases. Judge George L. Bum plays whist
and, should be the case with a man on the
bench, plays the game well. Whist can be
written down Judge Bunn's hobby. 1t
is doubtful if he has more thorough knowl-
