w. E. D. Stokes Has All of Tweed's
Papers-Light On the Election of
a Republican President

New York, Feb. There is at least
one man in Greater New York today
who holds the happiness. honor and
fortune of a great many people in the
hollow of his hand. This man is W. e
D. Stokes.
Mr.. Stokes came into possession of
all the private papers of William NJ
Tweed several years ago. He has made
a thorough study of them, with the
idea of writing a book on the subject.
According to his story more than $11,-
600 600 was paid out by the boss for
brides and buying up individuals that
other people to this day know nothing
about. The evidences of these payments
are still in existence with the endorse
ments of the parties directly concern
ed The surrender of Tweed by the
Spanish government after his escape
from Ludlow street Jail is described by
the papers in possession of Mr. Stokes
of a Republican president. Mr.. Stokes
says also that there is a real confess
sion of Tweed in existence, which is
likely to be published, and which is
bound to create the lIveliest kind of a
stir. He says Tweed's diary is the
most interesting Of all the papers. 1t
contained references to everyone that
called on him, and his business, show
ing that nearly every one could be
treated with on a cash basis. The pa
pers were delivered to Mr.. Stokes by a
man whom he had befriended.

DAVIS COUNTY TEACHERS.
Ladies Took Prominent Part In the
Discussions.

Pennington, Feb. THE session OF
the Davis county Teachers Institute
that was held last Saturday, was, per-
haps, the most interesting of the pres
ent series. The ladies added Zest and
interest to the proceedings by their
very active participation in the discus
sions.
The first question considered was
Educational Theories of the Present, -
as exemplified by the works of Parker
and Spencer. Nearly all of the teachers
took part in the discussion, which re-
solved itself into a consideration of
punishment and it's effects.
The subject of the comparative liter
airy merits of the works of Poe and
Longfellow brought up lively and in
teresting discussion.
At the afternoon session each teacher
presented a question on language work,
and these questions were discussed. 1t
was in this exercise that the ladies ap-
peared to advantage, and their reason
ings were in no sense inferior to those
of their fellow teachers of the sterner
sex The discussion was very instruc-
tive.
The institute adopted a set of reso-
lutions governing school libraries,
which are soon to be established in
nearly all of the higher grade schools
in the county.
1t was announced that at the next
session of the institute Professor Augs-
burg and Superintendent Van Colt of
Salt Lake would be present. Al adj
journment was taken for one month.

NEGRO MARRIES WHITE GIRL
BLACKED HER FACE AND FOOL.
ED THE BISHOP.
Scandalous Story Concerning Will
Howard and Ella Howorth-Both
Will Be Arrested.

The color question has been brought
prominently to the fore during the
past "A hours because of the alleged
marriage of Will Howard and Miss
Ella Howorth. The police have been
watching the couple for some days
past. and suspected that all was not
right Sunday morning when they
made a raid on the domicile of the two
they found what they expected, and
something more. Howard promptly
produced a. marriage certificate gotten
from Bishop Stratford Friday night.
The girl in English, tinged strongly
with a German brogue, asserted that
she was Mrs Howard, and that she
had negro blood in her veins. The Off
GERS went away satisfied, but the de-
velopments yesterday showed that
some crooked work had been resorted
to to get the license and the ceremony.
Howard went to the clerks office and
asked for the license, but as he gave
the residence of Miss Howorth as DaV-
export. Ia, Miss Cahoon, who issued
the document, said he must bring the
lady to sign the application
Howard explained that he was in
great hurry, but would pay for the IL
cense and that the young lady would
come in later. A few hours later a
lady called and signed the application,
making the proper affidavits.
That same evening the license was
duly taken up by Bishop Stratford, who
married the couple without question be-
cause both were as black as could be
the woman a little more than the man.
When confronted by the fiaXen-
haired. blue-eyed bride yesterday, Mr..
Stratford vehemently declared that she
was not in any respect the one he had
ma. fried 10 Howard.
The girl seems to enjoy the situation,
and the officers think that she BACKED
up as a negress and succeeded in fool
ing Bishop Stratford and got him to
perform the ceremony.
Miss Cahoon, who issued the license,
said that when the girl came in to sign
the application, she had her hair look
ing a good deal like wool and had her
face blacked a little. But she prac-
ticalIy Identifies her as the girl who
signed the license as Ella Howorth. |
Last evening warrants were sworn out
charging the girl with fornication and /
Howard with adultery. He is charged /
with adultery for the reason that he is
supposed to have another wife in Salt |
Lake.
