Savings. Society Wins a Shit

By a decision handed down by Judge Seawell yesterday the Savings and Loan Society regains s2,32s S3 from the city and county, that amount having been paid into the treasury under protest as a tax levied on school and State bonds. Tn his decision Judge Seawell held that as it had been proved during the trial of inc case that the assessed bonds referred to as State bonds" were municipal bonds,, the Savings and Loan Society was en- titled to recover, but had the Assessor simply referred to the property taxed as bonds the. tax would have been sus- tained. An increase of 20 per cent on and Judgment was given accordingly.

HIS BRIDE RUNS AWAY.
William Drinkhaus Would Like to
Know His Wife's Whereabouts

Milwaukee, Feb. 19.-Mrs. Will
liam Drinkhaus, who until Saturday
was Mary c. Ring, and who is under
the control Of the authorities of the
industrial school, who instituted
habeas crpus proceedings to recover
possession of her, has left Milwaukee
and her whereabouts are not known,
even by her husband. She has been
out from the control of the school
since Jan. 10. Drinkhaus says his
wife met him Thursday evening
where he was at work and together
they went home for supper. She told
him she had been to see her lawyer
and from him had learned that she
would have to place herself under
the control of the school authorities
for an hour Or two until steps could
be taken to have her released. This
she dreaded very much. Mr.. Drink
haus gave her what money he had,
$13. On going to her room several
hours later he found on the dressing
table a note addressed to him from
his wife in which she said she would
rather die than go back to the school,
even for an hour. She did not give
any idea where she intended to go.
He was confident he could win in his
legal fight for his wife He had tel
egraphed to his wife's father in Sank
City but supposed he would find she
was not there, as she had left a let
ter addressed to her father, which he
had mailed. He did not know what
that letter contained. The girl, he
says, was II years old her last birth
day, which was some time in Au-
gust. When he came to Milwaukee
several weeks ago, she was living at
the house where he boarded. Sever
al times he asked her to go to the
theaters with him, but each time she
declined, saying she could not leave
the house. Finally she told him her
story. Believing she was a good
girl, and having it in mind to marry
her ultimately, he told her that if
his name and his influence would be
or any use to her, in her fight
against the school authorities, he
would as soon marry her at once as
walt Tor year. On Saturday Feb.
II, the two were made husband and
wife by the Rev. w. A. Hunsberger,
pastor of the Grand Avenue Metho-
dist Episcopal church.

Of Washington will be the gathering
under the auspices of the grand lodge
of Masons of Virginia. At this meet
ing the proposition to celebrate in De-
cemter, eighteen hundred and ninety
nine, The enc hundredth anniversary
of the death of Washington will take
definite form. 1t is proposed that the
ceremonies shall take place at Mount
Vernon. This movement had it's
inception two years ago in the grand
lodge of Colorado Since then one
after another of the grand lodges of
the United States have appointed COM
mittees to take measures for the rep
resentatiOn of their respective juris-
dictions. The celebration will be
under the immediate direction of the
grand lodge of the District of Colum-
bia, but will be participated in by
grand lodges of the whole United
States. 1t is intended that the ser
vices at Mount Vernon shall be SINH
lar to those Of q burial ceremony. The

anniversary will be made the occasion
for a great pilgrimage of the Masonic
fraternity to Washington and Mount
Vernon. At Alexandria there is
lodge of which Washington was once
master. 1t still preserves some relics
that were in use by him when he pre-
sided over the lodge, which have been
seen by the thousands of visitors in
that city. Washington presided at
the laying of the corner stone of the
capitol in 1893, not only as president
of the United States but also as master
Of Alexandria lodge of Masons.
During the ceremonies he wore his
masters sash and the apron present
ed to him by Lafayette, wrought with
Masonic emblems in gold and silver
by the fair hands of the Marquise de
Lafayette herself. While making n
circuit of his farm near Mount Vernon
in the winter time Washington, who
had then retired to private life, was
caught in a severe storm, which re-
suited in his death Dec. IA, 1899.
President Mckinley is a Mason and
will be invited to deliver the principal
address at the ceremonies, which will
be held as near as possible to the fam
lily vault in which Gen. Washington
was laid in 1887, after scare, which
shocked the whole country, due to an
attempted sacrilege at the old family
tomb somewhat nearer the bank Of
the river.

the daughter Of Scandinavian parents.
She was born in Eiddwold, near Chris
t1ania, Norway, in 1877, her parents
being Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Hansen,
whose home is now in this city. Three
years ago she gradl ated from the
Minneapolis business college and soon
started out to earn her own living.
After looking for work for some time
she secured a position at very small
wages in law office. When Donnel-
ly's stenographer became Ill, Marion
took her place and through her good
work and great interest which she
displayed in Mr.. Donnelly's literary
work, won his affection.
The wedding Of Donnelly and the
fair daughter Of the Vikings will be
most elaborate. 1t was first intended
that there should be simple home
wedding, but Marion was informed by
her lover that a thousand invitations
should be sent out The sage has be-
slowed On his intended some precious
diamond ornaments, which she will
wear when going to the altar
Donnelly has a number Of grown-up
children who are not at all satisfied
with the choice their father has made
They admit that she is pretty, but in
no way the equal of their father, in
age or otherwise. However, Mr.. Don
nelly is happy and contented and des-
perately in love with the young girl
who has taken such interest in his lit
erary undertakings.
The couple after the marriage will
go to Philadelphia, where Mr.. Donnel-
ly has three sisters, and they will also

rules. The general alarm which
spread over the country last season
after the death of number Of players
has caused the persons most interested
in the welfare of the popular sport to
try and adopt a set of rules that would
do away with that part of the game
which seems most brutal. The call
was issued to all the athletic societies
by c. C. Cuyler, president of the Uni
versity Athletic club Of New York.
The conference will select a commit
tee on rules, which will modify the
present rules so that they conform
more to the English way of playing
the game. Robert D. Wrenn, who has
been selected to represent Harvard
university, is a remarkable all-around
athlete. Besides being
champion at tennis, he was one of the
best quarterbacks Harvard ever had.
Wrenn, it is believed, will prove
a broad-minded rule maker. His
views on the quarterback being per-
mitted to run with the ball immedi-
ately after he has received it from the
center rush may have weight with the
committee, as Wrenn has played quar-
ter and knows we'll the possibilities of
the place. Alexander Moffat, who will
represent Princeton, has man, sugges-
tons as to what changes should be
made, but does care to express an
opinion on any proposed modification
of the rules. Among the other men
who will likely serve as representa-
tives on the rules committee are Wal

visit New York 1t is also possible
that Europe will be visited
Speaking of his bride-to-be Mr.. Don
nelly says: Il found her handsome,
gentle, amiable, high toned, honorable,
intelligent, and Of the highest moral
character. She was BON in Norway
twenty-one years ago Of family once
very wealthy, but reduced by the good
nature Of its head through indorsing
for friends to poverty, which drove
the children and grandchildren to
America, where they have had for
years hard struggle with adverse
fate. The young lady's poverty was
to me not a disqualification. 1t
rather endeared her to me. And Il
have always felt more regard for those
women who had to support themselves
than for those who were handled in
the lap of luxury Furthermore, while
proud of my IIiSh blood, I regard the
great Scandinavian race as the purest
representative of the great original
ATyan stock, to which all the people
of Europe belong. They are the
mother race Of the fair-haired and
blue-eyed inhabitants of the world by
whatever local name they may be
called" On her part Mss Hansen is
free to say that she knew Mr. Don
nelly was in love with her before he
knew it himsel., and she was not at
all surprised when he proposed to her.

gether with 472 seamen, composing
the "elite of the service persisted.
Only Is were saved.
1878. Another British ship, the
Eurydice, was returning home from
the Bermudas when she found
cred in squall off the Isle Of Wight.
Her captain, o. S. Hare, and 300 men
were lost The same year, the Ger
man ship of war Grosser Kurfurst
was lost midway between Folkestone
and Calais. Out of her complement
of 500 men only % officers and LOO
seamen were rescued.
1881. Her majesty's ship Doterel
was destroyed by an explosion in the
strait of Magellan, and out of $50 men
on board 143 persisted.
1898. The British torpedo cruiser
Serpent was lost off the coast of Spain.
There were 276 persons aboard, of
whom only three were saved. The
same year off Tripoli the British flag
ship Victoria was sunk by a collision
with the Camperdown, and 463 officers
and men persisted.
The United States navy has been
comparatively free from such disas-
tiers involving great loss of life; but
some readers will remember the loss
of the United States ship Huron in
1877, when she foundered on her way
from Hampton roads to Cuba. and 104
| lives were lost; and there are few
who will have forgotten the disas-
ter that occurred in the harbor of
Apia, March Is, 1889, when six war
vessels were lost, three of them be-
longing to- the United States navy and
three to the German navy. In that
disaster AS lives were lost.

long before he became rich, largely
through real estate speculation. He
was elected to congress several times
as a republican, and was known as a
strong and forcible speaker. Some
years ago, however, he became the
leader of the farmers alliance of
Minnesota, which developed later into
the peoples party, of which he is still
a prominent member.
@Donnelly, however, made his great
est reputation as a writer. He wrote
series of novels which are. much
read, but he became best known
through his great Baconian cryptic
gram which caused a sensation
throughout the literary world. He
claimed to have discovered a cipher
by which he was enabled to prove
by taking well-known passages of
Shakespeare's works, that Sir Francis
Bacon, the famous English statesman
and philosopher, was the author of
the works of the immortal bard of
Avon. The foremost Shakespearean
scholars of the world did not agree
with Donnelly., Prof. John G.. Free
man of the University Of Wisconsin
challenged him to debate the Baconian
theory, and these two Shakespearean
authorities met On the public plat
forms of number of cities of the
west.
Besides writing books, DonneIly has
been editor of the Representative, or
gan of the popuEst party. Two years
ago his typewriter became i'll, and her
place was taken by pretty young
woman named Marion Olive Hansen,
