Mr.. Baldwin was a guest Of Bishop
Potter for several weeks and was then
osdained as the chaplain of the chapel
in Lafayette place. The bishop oftlci-
ated at the services. Mrs. Baldwin did
not accompany her husband to this
country. She remained in her home at
Oxford and sent a very liberal monthly
allowance to her husband. He lived in
the chapel house and spent money
freely. He gave costly banquets to his
friends, at which the popping of coriss
was said to have been a prominent
feature. In the summer Of 1896, while
attending to his pastoral calls, Mr..
Baldwin became acquainted with Miss
Rebecca E. Stafford, who lived with
her mother in Willow street, Brooklyn.
Miss Stafford had never been much in
society, owing to loss Of wealth when
she was young, and most of her enjoy
ment and pleasure had been In church
work, assisting the poor and visiting
the sick. She is 25 years old, is tall,
graceful and beautiful, and is held in
high esteem by her friends. Rev. Mr..
Baldwin became infatuated with this
co-Worker in the church, and SO far
forgot his high calling as to tell her
that he was unmarried and would make
her his wife if she was willing. She
consulted with her mother and con-
sented. Then Mr.. Baldwin told her
that he had made Il VOW when an event
had occurred whicl had changed his
entire career that he would not marry
for six years. Only four years of this
period had elapsed, and he persuaded
Miss Stafford to believe that it would
be perfectly proper for her to becoms
his common law wife, with the under
standing that a ceremonial marriage
would be performed when time re-
leased him from his solemn VOW
There was nothing in Miss Stafford's
innocent life to suggest that there was
anything wrong in the proposition, as
1t came from the lips of a priest, and
she consented to become his wife, as
he had suggested. He went through
form of marriage ceremony similar to
one that would have been performed
by a clergyman, and then put upon
Miss Stafiords finger a ring to seal the
solemn compact, on the inside of which
is inscribed "R. H. B. to r. E. S."
They lived together afterward with
Mrs. Stafford, the brides mother, and
he attended regularly to his work in
the chapel
1t is painful, indeed. to record ths
downfall Of man of such brilliant
promise. He was looked upon by tn.
dignitaries Of the church as being OF
the material of which great church
leaders are made. 1t is hard to con-
ceive how this supposed holy man
could greet his wife and six little chill
dren, ranging from / to 10 years OF
age, so lovingly and pleasantly at the
steamship pier on her return from
Europe six months after he had gona
through the ceremony with Miss Stat
ford. Mr.. Crittenton had heard of som,

They wait at respectful distance in
the middle of Church square until his
honor, attred in his inyariable black
frock coat and broad brimmed top hat
OF ancient design, hurries back to his
beloved "stoep,' in order to puff away
at his enormous pipe OF Transyaal to-

Here, also, since threatening letters and
rumors of assassination have become
more frequent, guard has been sta
toned, and two sentries OF somewhat
casual bearing. with untidy cartridge
belts, are posted to warn off any pos

of the extravagant, ways OF Rev. Mr..
Baldwin and he cut down the family
allowance to such an extent that it
became necessary for Mr.. Baldwin to
find something to do to obtain larger
salary. About this time he received
a call from wealthy Episcopal church
in Saginaw Mich, and promptly ac-
cepted it. This was one year ago and
he carried glowing recommendation
to his new field from Bishop Potter
After he was settled in Saginaw Rev.
Mr.. Baldwin sent for Mrs. Baldwin and
the children. Shortly afterward he
sent for Miss Stafford, or Mrs. Bald
Win No. 2, and rented an apartment
for her in Paul's fats at Adams avenue
and Beautreu street, Detroit. He told
Mrs. Baldwin No. that Mrs. Baldwin
No. in Saginaw was his sister-in-iaw,
whose husband was worthless, and he
had to take care of her This situation
continued for several months and then
Mrs. Baldwin No. 2 learned that Mr..
Baldwin was spending much of his time
with woman who had been known as
Charlotte Ella Keyes, but whose name
had been changed to Harolde Baldwin.
She said that she was the wife of Rev.
Mr.. Baldwin and is recorded as wife
No. 8. Mrs. Baldwin No. 2, believing
that the infatuation of Mr.. Baldwin
for his third wife could be broken, went
to see the woman she had believed
was his sister-in-law in Saginaw and
found that she was Mr.. Baldwin's wife.
This was terrible shock to both wom-
en-. Mrs. Baldwin No. could not be-
lieve that her husband had done wrong.
She went with Mrs. Baldwin No. 2 to
the house of Mrs. Baldwin No. 8 and
there learned that her husband had
lived there as the husband of another
woman. Mrs. Baldwin No. found her
husband in Saginaw. She was ready
to forgive him for the sake of their
children, but he would not desert his
third wife.

said that Mr.. Baldwin's knowledge of
Hebrew and Greek is not exceeded by
any scholar in the world. After this
work had been finished Mr.. Baldwin
settled down to the routine of college
life.
Bishop Potter visited Europe three
years Ego and met Mr.. Baldwin at Ok
ford. He look a great liking to the
scholarly young man, impressed upon
him that his duty was in the direction
OF active church work, and Influenced
him to give up his relations with OK
FORD university and accompany him.

The parents of the young woman
heard Of her desire TO go into the army
and attempted to dissuade her from
trying it, but their efforts were in vain.
Miss Densmore intended to disguise
herself in boys clothing and join the
army. Her parents became alarmed
and called on her sweetheart to help
them keep the headstrons young wom-
an at home. Miss Densmore's sweet
heart is another girl, IS yeais old, with

STRANGE ORACLE
Traditions 400 Years Old Preserved BY
Mexican Tribes.

AS is we'll known to all who have
looked into the matter carefully--for
instance, such men as Lumboltz, Starr
and Soville-there are in remote parts
! OF Mexico today to be found portions
Of tribes of Indians who are practically
as much given to idolatry, superstition
, and Witchcraft as were their fore
bears in the vanished years when the
cleaning banner Of CASTLE and Aragon
glanced amid the peaks and valleys Of
Mexico, announcing the advent of a
stronger race and more victorious
faith. The other day. While making
little trip over the Interoceanic, that
| runs through SO many picturesque In
dian towns, | happened to meet in one
| OF these villages very intelligent In
dian who told me the following:
Whsther it is true or not I do not know
II tell the tale as twas told to me-"
lie said that Oh the northern slope OF
Popocatepetl, near the foot there is
large cave almost unknown to the out
side world. In this cave lives an old
White-haired Indian who is the oracl:
of a small tribe of Indians in that
vicinity, whose language is unlike that
of any of the neighboring towns. This
little tribe has never been conquered
either by the Spaniards or by the
church or by the modern government
Of the republic. The Indians have pre-
| served all their old customs and tradi-
tions until this day. and are practically
as they were 400 years ago. One of the
very curious institutions among them
| is that Of the oracle, or seer, who
dwells in the above cave all
| alone. He is always the oldest and
Wisest man Of the tribe. He is looked
upon with the same superstitiOus rev.
! ercnce as were the OracleS of DOdona
and Delphos in the boyhood of the
world. in that cave are preserved rare
gems Of curiously carved emeralds,
| such as the great "Malinche" sent home
| to Spain; idols of gold and silver and
copper and stone, pearl necklaces from
the far-oif Gulf of California, and
strange robes Of feather work, of which
but very few examples are known to-
day outside the pages of Sabagun,
Prescott or Clavigero. There are also
ranged in fitting order the ancient gods
of this strange people, of whom this
old man is the high priest. Once
month a commission of the oldest men
of the tribe visits the cave and takes
with it, in the name of the people, Of
| ferings of fruit and flowers and eat
| ables and incense in honor of the gods
and their oracle. Upon all affairs OF
| importance to the tribe this old man is
consulted. and his judgments are as
those Of the Medes and the Persians.
| asked whether it would be possible
to visit him or not, and was told that
no one, not even members of the same
tribe, outside the aforementioned
commission" had ever seen the inside
of that strange and mysterious cave
Ny informant told me that at a certain
point all persons are stopped by a
guard and told that they can proceed
farther upon pain Of death. And this
is not tale of 400 years ago, but Of
today. The tribe and it's cave are at
the north side of Popocatepetl, and
every Saturday in AtliXco members Of
this tribe are at the market to buy and
sell their simple necessities OF life

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. 15.-The premoni-
cory symptoms of reaction which were
noted, yesterday. in the stock market
and even more prominently in the bond
market found their justification, today.
There were periods of resistance to the
decline and individual stocks in which
the resistance was successful. But the
reaction gained in force as the day pro-
crossed and the closing was decidedly
heavy in tone and at the low point, net
declines being the rule and reaching as
much as point in a few stocks. The
specialties We're active all day, and the
movements in them were exceedingly
various and conflicting and influenced
by individual causes.
The market for Railroad stocks
showed a heavy tone from the opening.
especially in the Internationals which
had the burden of selling for foreign
account to carry. The Changers and
Pacitics also encountered obstacles to
an advance. In the specialties there
was prevailing heaviness on one hand
i'll Sugar, Manhattan, Federal Steel and
Peoples Gas while on the other Tobac-
co, Metropolitan Street Railway and
the Paper stocks showed marked
strength.
