ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE.
Lieutenant Terrill is convalescing
rapidly at his home at Louisville, but
not half as quickly as he wishes.
Every letter he receives from the
Porto Rican hacienda makes him moro
impatient of the lassitude of illness.
One fact is assured. There will be
wedding in the little church at
Ponce. Out in the church yard there
is grave two months old. 1t can be
seen from the altar before which
Senorita Maxia Antonius and Lieu
tenant Luke W. Terrill will plight
their marriage VOWS. If Captain Jesu
Antonius knows, he is glad.
1t is the wish of the bride that they
shall go to her home at Barcelona,
Spain, on their wedding tour and the
devoted Kentuckian would gladly go
to the wilds of tho Congo with her as
companion. II the President will
grant him leave of absence they will
spend their honeymoon in Spain and
return to the sunny hacienda in tho
spring.
Beside the beautiful brides 1000
acres, near Ponce, and her ancestral
estate in Spain, the happy pair will
have one treasure troye, the bullet
torn, bloodstained coat of Spanish
officers uniform. New York Journal.

AppIe-Eed Deer.

Tho tameness of the deer in Maine
is sremarkable. They chum with cattle
in tho pastures and make themselves
at home in barnyards, while q few
cases are reported where men have
made pets of deer and allowed them
to fatten in their orchards, sc that the
animals might be good and fat when
the shooting season opened. Such an
apple-fed deer was brought to Bangor
recently, and it is asserted that the
fruit diet will greatly improve the
flavor of the meat.
A man who was carting load Of
apples along the road to Ellsworth,
the other day, had a strange expert
ence with hungry deer. The cart
broke down, and the man decided to
camp out on the road for the night.
At midnight he was awakened by q
crunching noise and found his outfit
surrounded by a herd of deer who
were helping themselves to the apples
in the crates and boxes. The man
had gun, but it was one day before
open time, and he had too much re-
spect for the law to ot.-New York

"The men have long straight hair
which they dye 1axen color and
which in thick folds hangs over their

have their hair cut short. They may
be related to the Samoans or Maoris,
but they certainly differ so much from
the Polynesian as to make their his

tion being that if a married man or
woman dies the deceased's spirit has
gone ahead and is waiting for the other

The Heaviest Man ON Earth. .

If greatest were the test of avoir-
dupois the place of honor would be
filed by Maurice Canon, q native of
the small frontier town of Stein, in
the State of Constance. This man is
said to weigh not less than fifty stone,
and may claim to be the heaviest man
on earth. He measures over 100
inches around the waist and sixty
four around the thigh. His enormous
weight does not apparently incon-
venience MIN, for he is active and in
robust health. He is a well-to do,
middle-aged farmer, and, though his
gigantic proportions naturally make
him an object of curiosity to his neigh
bors, he has declined all offers to
stray from his native fields. Human

How Young Curtin, Q. S. NJ, Demanded tn
Surrender of Ponce.

How Young Curtin, o. s. NJ, Demand ed the
Surrender of Ponce.
Richard Harding Davis, in an article
in Scribner's Magazine on the Porto
Rico Campaign, relates how Ensign
Curtin demanded the surrender OF
Ponce, as follows:
He is about the youngest looking
boy in the navy, and he is short Of
stature, but in his methods he is
Napoleonic. He landed, with a let.
ter, for the military commander,
which demanded the surrender of the
port and city, and he wore his side.
arms, and an expression in which
there was no trace Of pity. The Cap
tain of the Port informed him that the
military commander was ut Ponce,
but that he might be persuaded to
surrender if the American naval officer
would condescend to drive up to
Ponce, and make his demands in per-
son. The American officer fairly
shook and quivered with indignation.
"Zounds," and "Gadzooks," and
"Hang 1t, SIR" would have utterly
failed to express his astonishment.
Had it come to this, then, that an Gu
sign, holding the Presidents commits
sion, and representing such ship of
terror as the Wasp, was to go to q
mere colonel, commanding district
of 60, 1000 inhabitautsP
"How long will it take that military
commander to get down here if he
hurries?" demanded Ensign Curtin.
The trembling Captain of the Port,
the terrified foreign consuls and the
custom house officials thought that o
swift-moving cab might bring him to
the port in half hour.
"Have your telephone about tho
placer" asked the Napoleonic Curtin.
They had.
"Then call him up and tell him that
if he doesn't come down hero in o
hack in thirty minutes and surrender,
I shall lombard Ponce!'
This was the Ensign's ultimatum.
He turned his back on the terrified
inhabitants and returned to his gig.
Four hacks started on a mad race for
Ponce, and the central Office of the
telephone rang with hurry calls.
On his way out to tho ship Ensign
Curtin met Commander Davis on his
way to tho shore. Commander Davis
looked at his watch. 81 shall extend
his time another half hour, said Com
Davis. Ensign Curtin sa-
luted sternly, making no criticism
upon this weak generosity on the
part of his superior officer, but ho
could afford TO be magnanimous.
