THEIR WEDDING DAY IN JUNE.

Miss Harriet cambridge Richar rd-
son 80 Become Mrs. Ellis.
Lexington, KY. Jan. 30.-The engage
lnent of Miss Harriet Bainbridge Richardson
and James I. Ellis was announced here to-

Miss Richardson is the young woman who
gained some notoriety by her claim to hav-
ing been appointed sponsor for the new

that she would break over the ships Prov

Ellis is 4 young poet from Lawrence

The couple were engaged two years ago
when Miss Richardson went East, where
she created a stir in Brooklyn and Wash
fngton, and it fs alleged beca me enga ged
to Congressman Bennett. This report caused
Ellis TO cease his attentions to her. and
1T was not until Miss Richardson was
being severely criticised by the newspa-
pers for having claimed that she ought
TO have been retained by the new Secre-
tary of the Navy as sponsor for the Ken
lucky that she heard from Ellis. He wrote
thanking him for coming to her rescue

GROVER CLEVELAND, BOOMER.
Land Values at Princeton Influenced
by His Presence.

Princeton, N. J., Jan. 80. = Those
healthy minded folk who have the
knack for remembering things Will not
be surprised to learn that Mr.. Grover
Cleveland has become something of a
real estate specuiator in this ancient
university town.
1t is not a new role for the eS-Presi-
dent and whilom owner of Red Top.
Mr.. Cleveland, in selecting his per-.
manent home at Princeton. appears to
have displayed the same shrewdness
that characterized his real estate ven
lures in Washington. 1t will be re-
membered that. after his first inaugu-
ration, he bought a piece of property
in the capitals suburbs, consisting of
five acres, and called it Oak View for
which he paid $4,000. He changed its
name TO Red Top, and, after spending
considera bic money beaJtifying it, sold
it for Sl4S,600 TO a syndicate, which cut
the property up into building lots. Mr..
Cleveland cleared on this investment
fully S100000. His summer home Gray
Gables, at Buzzard's Bay, cost him
$3.50, 900. This investment was also fol-
lowed by a real estate boom i'll that
place.
OF course there is considerable diff
ference between the home of a Presi-
dent and the home OF an ex-President,
but although Mr. Cleveland no longer
holds high office there is no gainsaying
the fact that he still has a large fol-
lowing, and that many wealthy men
would like to bask in the sunshine of
his presence.
His choice of Princeton as his per-
manent abode, therefore. cannot help
having a marked influence on the fu-
ture of the old town, and the recent
upward movement of the local real es-
tate market must be largely attribu-
table to his presence there. The eX-
President and his charming wife often
take an afternoon stroll along Nassau
street, PTincetons business thorough
fare. and this is one of the chief events
in the daily life of the town. Prince
ton looks upon Cleveland as its mascot
and with the remembrance of Red Top
still fresh in the public mind. the old
towns confidence seems not misplaced.
Whether Mr. Cleveland will unload
his holdings here as soon as he is as
sured of a good profit-as he did at Red
Top-remains to be seen.

REDMOND MAKING A GOOD RACE.
The Dark Horse in Sue Richmond
Postoffice Contest Nav Win


Richmond. Va. Jan. S0.-The strength
that ]. ]. Redmond has developed in
the race for the Richmond postmaster
ship within the last few days is some
what surprising. He has all along been
regarded as the dark horse. and as the
race draws towards its close he is
coming to the front. Mr.. Redmond
has the Endorsement of more than 1000
citizens, and the petition which recon-
mends his appointment is signed by
Mayor Taylor and other city officials,
as well as prominent Democrats.
Col. Brady returned from Washing
ton yesterday. and was at the internal
revenue office during the day. He in
dorses Judge Waddilfs statement that
the appointment has not yet been con-
sidered.
Mr.. Wray knight says that when the
patronage is bestowed he Will probably
be in the neighborhood. Mr.. Knight
has the active support of the rank and
file of the local Republicans as well as
the tacit support of the leaders. Col.
Brady, it is well known, is a strong
supporter of Knights claims, for it is
said that he is anxious TO appoint his
son chief deputy in the internal rev.
enue office. Judge Waddill is also be-
lieved to be for Mr.. Knight.
Otis ]. Russell, who was postmaster
under Harrison, and was supposed to
have a cinch on the place, is now said
to be somewhat in disfavor with the
Republican leaders. He has strong
support from local politicians, though,
and his former excellent administra-
tion of the office viii weigh heavily
when the matter comes up for settle
ment in Washington.
In the meantime, Postmaster Cul-
lingworth holds the fort. His time ex-
pires on February Is. but he Will not be
disturbed until March 4.

FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free
for the Asking.


Medical books are not always inter-
esting reading. especially to people
enjoying good health, but as a matter
of fact scarcely one person in ten is
perfectly healthy, and even with such,
sooner or later sickness must come.
1t is also a well-established truth
that nine-tenths of all diseases or
iginate with a breaking down of the
digestion, a weak stomach weakens
and impoverishes the system, making
it easy for disease to gain a foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption, kid
ney disease, liver trouble or a weak
heart and nervous system as long as
the digestion is good and the stomach
able to assimiiate plenty of whole
some food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score of ways and this little book de-
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to cure so simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of stom-
ach trouble and do not know it, They
ascribe the headaches, the languor,
nervousness, insomnia, palpitation,
constipation and similar symptoms
to some other cause than the true one.
Get your digestion on the right track
and the heart trouble. lung trouble.
liver disease or nervous debility will
rapidly disappear.
This little book treats entirely on the
cause and removal of indigestion and
its accompanying annoyances.
1t describes the symptoms of Acid
Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow

Catarrh Of Stomach, and all affections
Of the digestive organs in plain lang

Obtain Cheap Advertising.
Business competition has become in the
last few years much keener than it ever
was before, and the so-called panic not
to speak OF Mckinley prosperity has
had the effect OF causing business men Of
many classes to exert almost superhuman
efforts in or,'er to hold their trade.
Last wees Mrs. Peabody, who lives at
1003 X street northwest, held reception
to which she invited number of friends.
Cards Were resorted to for amusement, aud
later fefre Sinnents were served The

next day short paragrap phs descriptive Of
the affair appeared in The social columns
OF the daily papers. Two days later Mrs.
Pea body received n letter from a small
coal dealer n this city and paste Il at the
head of the letter was a paragraph con
cerning her reception, which had appeared
In The Times. The letter read:

of her death was printed in the morning
