Joseph NJ. Nowak. OF this city, is in
training for the wedding. divorce. and re-

Ohio. Wednesday he and his new bride
returned from their second HONEYMOON
The bride was Mrs Bertha Nowak who
has not been Mr.. Nowaks wife before
for nearly a year and a half. they having
been divorced in 1896. The groom is a
well-i5nown lawyer, in Cleveland and
while this wife is domestic in her tastes
she has many friends here. though she
has been living in St Louis since the last
time she was her husbands wife
Mr. Nowak's claims to the wedding and
divorce championship are incOntroverti-

has had two first marriages, three di-
vorces, two remarriages and has accu-
mulated, all told. four children He has
lived for years at 1912 Broadway in what
is probably the handsomest residence on
that long thoroughfare. He is one of the
best known Bohemian residents of the
city. and twenty years ago he married
for the first time one of the prettiest girls
of that neighborhood whose father was
one of the solid Bohemian citizens of
Broadway.
The first marriage lasted about ten
years, and a son, now ABOUT entering
manhood was born to them. About ten
years ago a young seamstress acquired
acquaintance with the Nowak family.
and not long after that the Nowaks were
divorced Mr.. Nowak then married the
seamstress and installed her in the
Broadway residence. For eight years
they lived happily, and three children
were born to them. The divorce instinct.
however, was too strong for the hero of
this tale to Withstand and in 1896 Mr.
Nowak obtained hfs second divorce. On

An American Paymaster and the

From the Philadelphia Times)
The late Paymaster Clark, of the United
States navy, of Delaware. was attached
to one of the ships on the European sta
ton during the period of the civil war.
It may have been the KearsaTge, but it
is not important. She was an armed YES
sci and had been long at sea and came in
for coal provisions and to give the men
a liberty day on shore. To meet these
and other expenses it was necessary TO
have some GSOGO (men are paid in the
currency of the country they may be in
when on foreign stations) and Paymaster
Clark drew sight drafts on the subtreas-
ury of New York through the Govern
ment agents. ]. S. Morgan & Co, bank
ers. in old Broad Street, London. Ac-
companied by the vice-consul he went to
the Plymouth branch of the Bank of
England, and presenting his drafts, asked
10 have them changed for notes and
gold. The bank manager, not content
with exercising proper commercial scru-
tiny, was very nasty, and finally said:
''Well, do not know the subtreasury.
! do not know the paper nor you, and
have never had business with the gentle
here, so won't cash your drafts. You
saw J. s. Morgan will indorse them. YOu
had better go up to London and let him
cash them
Mr.. Clark went out to the telegraph Of
fee. put himself in communication with
Mr.. Morgan. and Mr.. Morgan went to the
Rank of England in London, the manager
sent word to the Plymouth branch man
ager and that gentleman came personal
ly to the Royal Hotel and, with his hat
in hand. begged to be of service to Pay
master Clark in any capacity that gen.
tleman would suggest. The apparently
placated paymaster, accompanied by his
clerk, accompanied the bank officer to the
bank The drafts We're duly passed over
and a large bundle of Bank of England
notes placed before the paymaster.
What are these?' said Clark.
''Those are bank of England notes"
''Yes, l see they are notes signed by
Frederick May that the bank will pay

and of course, I do not know you. This
paper may be good. but l have no assur-
ance of that. I'll trouble you for the

hunt it up, and Paymaster Clark carried

States have been at all Iemiss in offering vo,un-

turned away 50 many applicants, have made
them appear They require men 10 be praCti-

The Spanish Initiative.

1t is too early to form conclusions
regarding the initial step which Spain
has just taken to sound this Govern
ment. through the French ambassador,
on the subject Of peace. one thing only
is certain, and that is that the opening
of the question is not altogether salts
factory, in view of certain indications,
both at home and abroad.
It is evident from the tone of the Eu-
ropean official press that there is much
anxiety among the continental chan
celieries in connection with the Philip
pine Islands Political considerations
mixed with the interests Of the Spanish
bondholders, and of several influent. al
religious orders, tend to render the
matter of our position in the archi-
pelago a serious one.
In the United States there is a small
but rich and noisy clique Of sugar bar
ons and Tory reactionists who are
irving to create a sentiment against
our permanent occupation of the isl
ands. and this element is attempting
at once to influence the Administration
and to encourage European diplomacy
to the destruction oe~our national am
bition.
We hope that President Mckinley
will stand firm and not do anything
which would commit the country to a
policy of retreat before European ar
rogance, the result of which could only
be a humiliation such as Japan was
subjected TO after the Chinese war.
The American people would not sub
nit willingly to anything of that kind.
and the Administration which should
even think of surrendering valuable ter
ritory to anyone, much less its retrecss-
sion to Spain, would find itself wrecked
and detested by the whole of the
Union, in less than twenty-four hours
after its cowardice and perfidy should
become known.

A letter received from Hon John T.
Gowdy. consul general TO Paris. contains
the following interesting reference 70 the
French people: 1t is fact there are
great many here who sympathize with
Spain. There are several reasons why
they do. There are many thousand Span
iards living in Paris and other parts of
France, and of course they naturally
sympathize with their own country.
There are also $50 OJ00J0 Of Spanish bOnds
held by individuals in Paris. Some are
held by persons who have not invested
more than 500, and many such indiyid-
uals can make more noise in the cafes
and on the street Formers than those who
have invested large sums. l am glad 10
say that the government and city Off
cia's are in sympathy with America. and
the French government has declared neu-
trality There is no reason 20 believe
that it viii not be faithfully kept We are
treated very kindly here. not only 10y
the officials but by the French people
generally. Some newspapers have pub
lished certain articles expressing sym
pathy for Spain and have said many in
discreet things about America and about
Americans as class. ! am glad TO
state that there is an apparent change
in the sentiment in Paris in favor OF
America. The Issues involved in the
war at first We're not fully understood By
the masses and ! think that during the
last few weeks people are becoming bet
ter informed.
