The memories OF the conflict between the
Monitor and the Merrimac are being lived
over again at the pension office. In the
little fountain ON the main floor models OF
the two famous war ships are chasing each
other But there Is never a clash, and the
towering palms that fringe the basin
breathe peace, while the old veterans sit
about and discuss the great laval battle
which many think saved the Union.
These models are the work Of Geo. w.
Barnes. the superintendent of the building.
Some weeks ago he conceived the idea of
making two models of the famous ships
of the north and south, and at once put his
plans into execution. He obtained copies
OF the plans of the ships from the Navy
Department and made models on a scale of
one-half an inch to the foot They are in
all respects perfect representations. The
Monitor flies Union Jack forward and the
starry banner floats astern. There is no

DROPPED THREE GAMES.
Saenxerbund BOSvlers Beaten by Busi-
neSs Mems Tenn

Accompanied by a loyal contingent of
bowling enthusiasts, the Saengerbund team
went to the alleys of the South Washing
ton Business Mems Bowling Club last
night. bent on capturing all of the games,
and thereby clinching their hold on first
position in the District Bowling League.
Instead Of doing this however they learned
several points as to how the game really
should be played from the league baby. t. e
tailenders, and the mighty Saengers
dropped for the first time this season in
competition with other league teams three
successive games. The Business Men put
up by long odds the best series of games
yet rolled by them and had they PLAYED
earlier in the season in the form they are
now showing would have cut considerable
figure in the championship hustle.
The result of the games last night adds
much to the interest in the contest for su-
premacy between the Saengerbund and
Carroll Institute teams. both now having
won and lost the same number of games
Each team has yet nine games to play
both having six at home. The CAROLS
have the slight disadvantage of bowling the
only games they have to play off their own
alleys at the Saengerbund. and that one
feature alone is likely to play an impor-
tant part in the contest.
Shlesinger did fine work last night bowl
ing two fine games, having 213 for high
est single game and leading both teams
with the good average of 1SS. He was we'll
followed by Fuller, who averaged III.
The first game was a decidedly interest
ing contest. as the margin between the two
teams was very small throughout. The
home club secured the slight lead of three
pins IN the opening frame. holding it ny the
same number of pins in the third. The
Sacngers went ahead in the SIXTH but fell
Off from thar point. and were beaten by
fOrty-three pins.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, February %. 1898.
Probably the most novel divorce pro-

The story leading up to the filing of the
above divorce proceedings teens with ro-
nance.
In 1857 colston. with a party of young
planters. left the South Branch valley of
the Potomac river and went as far west
as the Ohio river, with two objects in view.
One was to secure consignment of furs
to take down the Potomac by boat to Alex
andria, Va, and the other to examine the
valleys west of the Alleghenies with a view
Of taking settlers there for settlement.
While thus engaged the party was cap
tured by Indians and all were killed ex-
cept young Colston, who was saved ON ac-
count Of his light hair and blue eyes. He
was made a captive for seven years, but
finally managed TO escape and worked his
way home, to ind that his wife, having
given him up for dead. had married again.
Then 1t was that he consulted q lawyer
who drew up the divorce and had it re-
corded.
Colston did not visit his wife, but re-
turned to the Indians from whom he had
escaped. and two years later married the
