Bishop Fowler visited South Ameri
ca to inspect the missions of the
church. On the voyage he applied
himself diligently to the study Of
the Spanish language with such sue
cess that he could conduct services
and make addresses in Spanish upon
his arrival. His life has been full of
work and success in all his varied
positions, As a public speaker he
is unrivaled OF the many fiattering
tributes oil the press we quote only
one--from the Minneapolis Times:
Bishop Fowler is the recognized
leader OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and stands second to none
as an orator, in the estimate Of the
American people He has frequent
ly distinguished himself on great
national occasions by his superb eff
forts, but it is safe to say that his
lecture on abraham Lincoln in its
lofty thought, historic data, diplo-
matte insight, burning patriotism,
sparkling wit, vivid word painting.
classic dietion and captivating elo-
quenee is the great masterpiece Of
his life 1t is enough to immortal
ize him Had he never been known
until the production of this prose
poem, his genius would live in Amer
lean literature and his name go
down to imperishable fame

What the Newspapers say of Miss Win
fired GRAY.

IIred tray.
Miss Gray's recital last evening
was accorded the patronage that the
artist and the society for whose ben
eft it was given, deserved. Few read
ers have proved themselves so popular
in this city as Miss Gray, and her au-
diences are composed of those who
have heard her again and again and
again, but they do not tire of her
charming style. Miss Gray opened
the program with sketch from Rich
ard Harding DAYS., rays Regain. F."
Miss Gray's talent seems to lie in no
one particular direction more than
another, and while each time she ap-
peared in Characterization the au-
dience were moved to resolve that this
was her forte, SO great was her versa
tality. Her portrayal of "Rays" was
strong, intense, dramatic, and true to
the spirit in which it was written.
1t would be difficult to pick out the
best thing in Miss Gray'S program,
but if there were any such, it was
ssPatsy," by Kate Douglass Wiggin.
The selection is full of quaint humor,
playing with delicate touches upon
the rough life of Patsy, the orphan,
and yet it is as tender in its pathos as
a song.
The ''Village Gossip is distinctly
humorous and gives opportunity for
an amusing display of pantomine
which Miss Gray takes advantage of
so well that the audience is more than
half absorbed in watching her. Three
lullabies as one number were very pref
ty, and Miss Gray gave an encore in a
negro lullaby. Her transformation
from one character to another is rapid
and complete. Her last number was
1.-The Bean Story by James Whit
comb Riley. 1t was very amusing,
and the audience were very reluctant
to disperse after so long program. !"

The term of school may be ex-
tended into the summer in order to

end Of the present term of school.
The faculty were to have considered
this at their meeting yesterday but
consideration of it had to be post

WE'D HER BROTHER.

Shocking Discovery Causes a Divorce Suit.
Council Bluffs, Ia, July ga
petition for divorce filed by Mrs.
Mary Ward of this city yesterday
brings forth story that is stranger
than Gction. Mrs Ward asks for
divorce from T. s. Ward, to whom
she was married March Is, 1876, in
Des Noines, and in the petition sets
forth that he deserted her June 4,
1883, since when che has not seen
nor heard OF him.
Her husband Is none other than
her brother When the plaintiff and
her sister and brother were children
their parents died suddenly, and
they became separated, being adopt
ed by three different families. Mary
Ragsdale, which was the maiden
name of the plaintiff, when Is years
of age became acquainted With
young man who came to the town in
which she lived with her adopted
parents.
TEE AWFUL TRUTH.
The acquaintance ripened into
love and they were married. Two
children were born to them, but
shortly after the birth of the second
child the terrible discovery was
made by the husband that his wife
was none other than his sister.
He had never known his right
name, having been given that OF
Ward, the name OF his adopted par.
ents. He pid not know he had a
sister then. He left note acquaint-
ing his wife or his sister OF his ter.
rible discovery and proofs and then
disappeared, since which time he
has never been heard Of. Mrs.
Ward decided to keep the terrible
matter secret She toIled TO sup
port her children.
It in only now when she is anxious
to secure q divorce IN order that she
may marry again that the strange
story becomes public.
