FIRED ON THE CROSS.
The Red Cross No Protection Against
Spanish Sharpshooters.

Washington, July 26-From Santi-
ago under date of July 8, Mrs. John Ad-
Olson Porter, wife of the secretary Of
the president and now with Miss Clara
Barton in Cuban relief work, has writ
ten a personal letter describing condi-
tiOns there. It was written a week af-
ter the battles Of Ell Caney and San
Juan. The Red Cross was then aid
ing in the care of the wounded and
feeding the thousands of fugitives
from Santiago The Spanish wounded
captives expressed great gratitude that
they were given the same attention
that Americans received. One sur
geon who dressed the wounds of 200
Americans and Spanish soldiers told
iards were hit two and three times
while as a rule the Americans received
a single wound, indicating the differ
ence Of craftsmanship. At this time
everybody was busy caring for the

The American dead had been buried
but the trenches were full of dead
SpaniardS whose bodies fiOated on the
surface of the water, caused by the
rains, and filled the air with a sicken-

ish barbarity, and says that in several
instances men were shot dead as they
lay on Red Cross filters on the way to
hospitals. The firing went on so I'M
ceasingly that the surgeons operated
by moonlight. They were afraid to
light candles or lanterns, as Spanish
sharpshooters would have picked them
off.
Commissions authorizing this dast-
ardly work, she writes were found on
the bodies of some of these guerrillas.

TAKES EIGHTH WIFE.
st. Louis Man Has Calmly Followed
Seven to Their Graves.

St Louis, July 26.-Not content with
seven wives, Alexander Gregg Belle
vile about to take unto himself an
other.
BelIeville is a pious and godlv man
and he has lost no wives through the
divorce court, but has followed each
one to her grave before looking about
for her successor. He believes that it is
a mans duty to take care of women, al
ways provided that he marries them
tandem fashion, and he is now about
to embark on his eighth matrimonial
trial trip.
He works in an iron foundry in East
st. Louis and has now come to the age
of 81 years, but his last selection in
brides is but Is years old. Her name
is Josie Miller and her mother is
heartily in favor of the match, believ-
ing that a man who has given good
funerals to seven wives cannot possibly
make a bad husband for the eighth.
Josie is willing, too, for she is very
poor and she looks forward to having
a house and husband for her own, hav-
ing no SqueamiShneSS about the seven
departed ones.
Justice Haughton of st. Louis had
different ideas on the subject of mar
rage between a man of 81 and a girl
of 10, so there has been a temporary
delay in the nuptia1 ceremonies, for
when the couple appeared before him
he refused to perform the ceremony. He
said that AZ years was too great a diff
ference in age between bride and groom
and they had to go away unWed, al
though Mrs. Miller assured him that all
parties concerned were satisfied.So they
will seek some justice in Illinois who
does not believe that age cuts any fig
ure in married happiness. Each of the
wives died a natural death and not the
shadow of suspicion has ever attached
to the bereaved husband in any one of
his seven Affections. He has had the
sympathy of the community in a large
measure and has always promptly set
about counting a new wife in the in

wives in heaven.

MAY TAKE TO WHEELING.
German Empress Has Often Expressed
a Desire to Ride a Bicycle.

London, July 26.-Berlin and Pots
dam are patiently waiting for the Ger
man empress to take up wheeling. Wo-
men of the court believe it is only
question of time when she will do so.
as the empress is known to be fond of
this recreation, and it is only her dig
nifty and her duties to her family which
are or have prevented her from adopt
ing the bicycle in the past. OF late she
has been an acute sufferer with neu-
ralgic headaches, for which her physi-
clan on several occasions has suggested
the advisability of outdoor exercise.
Thus far he has not been able to pre-
vail upon her to follow his advice and
delegate to servants many of the tasks
she has taken upon herself.
About the only influence which serves
to divert the empress attention from
her home is her delight in being of SER
vice to the emperor in attending public
functions. She appears with him often
for that reason only, when her fnclina-
lions would lead her to remain with her
family. Several manufacturers of BIZ
cycles in Germany and other European
countries have already petitioned the
empress to accept bicycles of their
make, and many of her admirers are
hoping she win not refuse all of them.
1t is not considered good form in Ger
man royal circles for the wife of high
official in the German empire to affect
any kind Of pastine which the empress
does not approve of.
