RATCLIFFE'S ENGLISH WEE
She Arrives in New York and Will
Prosecute the Actor.

Prosecute the Actor.
New York Jan. 22.-Caroline Rat
cIiffe ,nee Ravenhilp, OF London, who
ella inns TO he the wife Of Edward j. Rat
clirfe, the actor, now under six months
sentence for " wife-beatinc, arrived today on
TIE steamer st. Louis. She is a small
delicate woman, with refined features.
She said it would he idle. for Ratcliffe
to deny their marriage, as she had all the
proofs necessary She was sure OF his
identity, and told in detail the story OF
their married life. Mrs. Ratcliffe init
mated that she would prosecute the actor
for bigamy, and that she would also bring
an action for divorce.
Mrs Ratcliffe was met at the American
firm OF Howe & Hummel, counsel for Alice
De Lacey, and was at once taken to the
Tombs police court. When the convicted
actor was produced, she identified him as
her husba nd.
Yes, he's the man married. she ex-
claimed snappiiy, as she looked him square
in the face.
Ratcffe showed no sign OF emotion when
thus confronted with what is conSid ered
crushing evidence in a charge more serious
than that on which he was convicted. The
matinee hero had come into the courtroom
smiling and jaunty, as usual.
The smile left his face when Mrs. Rat
Cliffe identified him, and a sneer took its
place.

DO NOT INDoasE GAGE.
The Reason Senate Bfmefaiiists
Brought I'D the Teller Resolution.

..Secretar.y Gage will soon be out OF
the Cabinet. or the Administration VIII
lose a number of its supporters, is the
way a Western Senator looks at the sit
uation. IF the President is going to
stand by Mr. Gage" this Senator con-
tinued There will be a big break and
a lively row For two months we of the
West have been on the ragged edge OF
uncertainty
I'VE believed and still hope that Pres
ident Mckinley means to live up faith
fully to the St. Louis platform on the
money question. but if he does he can
not afford to retain Gage, who step by
step became bolder and finally declared
for the single gold standard, creating
the impression at home and abroad
that the Administration was with him.
Western Senator'S viii not and cannot
afford to indorse the currency plan of
the Secretary or Of the selsconstltut-
ed monetary commission.
1T is my opinion that had it not been
for the unwise policy of the Secretary
the Teller resolution would not have
been brought up this session. The bi-
metallists in the Senate have been COM
pelled to let the world know that they
do not indorse Mr.. Gage, and i have
no hesitancy in saying that the bitter
- that has been engendered is the
ybrSt blow the tEStt ~l''s--' t.4~iIS HAS
Yeceived sinceethe St Louis conven-
y ton
Other Republican Senators talk the
same way. Many of them will be heard
from between now and Thursday in
speeches. and that is why they are
averse to being quoted for publication.
Senator Wolcott still stoutly main
tains that the President will take oc-
casion in his own time to repudiate the
utterances of Mr. Gage. Many OF MS
Republican associates agree with him.
and the Democratic attacks are eX-
pected to be so fierce that there Is
strong feeling in Senatorial circles that
Mr. Gage will either have to change
front or retire from the Cabinet.
Several Republicans predict that the
vote for the Teller resolution will be
larger than that recorded in its favor
on Thursday.

BURYING \ HEAVY MAN.
Coffin and Corpse Weighed Over a
Half Ton.

Philadelphia, Jan. PA crowd of
curious people yesterday attended the
funeral of Joseph Handley at No. 1502
MerYine street. He was one of the
heaviest men in the city, weighing over
600 pounds, and the undertaken en-
countered innumerabIe obstacles before
the monster casket was finally placed
safely in the vault at Holy Cross Gem
etery. A special casket six feet six
inches long and four feet six inches
wide had to be made and the door jams
removed in order to permit it's being
taken in and out of the house.
Casket and body weighed loo
pounds and in removing il from the
house the body was rolled out on a
steel truck. and fourteen pallbearers
were required to lift it into the dead
wagon" which had TO be used. as no
hearse could be found in the city large
enough. AT the church the casket was
again rolled UP the aisle on the steel
truck.
So great was the undertaker's fear
of the great weight breaking the
springs of the wagon that he had a
dray accompany the funeral to be
ready in case of accident At the cem-
etery the casket was placed temporari-
ly in the receiving vault. When buried
it will take up the space of two graves.

MUTISY ON SHIPBoARD.
Perils Encountered by the Steamer
Ursula Bright.

Ursula Bright.
Baltimore. Jan. 22.-After a voyage
of peril lasting thirty days, during
which she struggled against terrific
gales and mutinouS crew, the British
steamer Ursula Bright, of London,
reached here yesterday from HaVre,
France, which port she left Decem-
ber %.
The terms of agreement of the crew
read that they were to be discharged
December 81, or as soon after as the
ship should reach port in the United
Kingdom. On December 20. while at
Havre. the ship was chartered TO come
here to load grain The crew then de-
manded that they be discharged, which
her commanding officer, Capt. Whit
son, refused to do, owing to the difti-
Guilty of replacing them.
The ship sailed on the 22d, and when
she got to sea the crew refused to
work. Thirteen seamen and fireman
composed the mutinous crowd. On
Christmas eve a terrific gale struck
up. and when asked to lend helping
hand they laughed. Their persistent
refusal caused Capt. Wkitson to place
them on. bread and water diet. upon
which they remained until the ship
arrived here this morning. During the
voyage the ship was several times
hove to for from twenty-five to thirty
eight hours on a stretch on account of
the weather, and the. officers and en-
gineers had to work the ship to har-
Dor.
The police steamer Lannan met the
Bright off Quarantine, and escorted her
to port. When she docked. the thir-
teen mutinous seamen and the firemen
were arrested and conveyed to the Of
fee of British Consul Fraser. There
Capt Whitson laid formal charges
against them, and naval
court consisting of two British ship
masters and the British consul will try
their cases.

CHINESE CELEBRATING.
The Ma Iority Of Them Disregard
the Minister'S Instru ctions.

The Ma Iarity Of Them Disrega I'd
the Minister'S Instru ctions.
Notwithstanding the instructions from
the Chinese minister that January %
instead of January 21 be celebrated as
new years day, the majority of the Ce-
lestials in Washington observed the day
yesterday.
The great yellow pennant, with its
glaring dragon, floated over many of the
large stores in Chinatown, and the door
OF every laundry had little red placard
or good luck card posted upon it.
This means that every Cinnamon visiting

I don't believe any foreign government
will run such risk, but if they do they
will do it at their own peril. 1t may
be that the war vessels are there as an
encouragement to Spain's soldiers"
The feeling over Cuban affairs at
the State Department this morning
seemed very pacific. Officials showed
no concern whatever. The State De-
partment has had no adyices from Gen
Lee since Saturday, and are confident
that he expects nothing unusual TO oc-
cur or he would inform the depart
ment. The Administration is so well
satisfied with the condition of affairs in
Havana that Admiral Sicard has been
authorized to withdraw all large war
vessels from Key West including the
Maine and Detroit, which have been
doing patrol duty. The admiral tele-
graphed the Navy Department that
the squadron will proceed 10 Dry Tor
tugas this morning. The gunboat Hell
ena reached Lisbon this morning.

NOT A FATALITY.
a Curious Law That Seems to Fol

Be Diverta BILE.

II has frequently been observed that
when a married couple arrive at the

and economy, are just ready to enjoy
life, one, or perhaps both, find that dis
ease of some sort mas made its appear
ance and sadly marred the happy pic

A little care in the selection oil FOOD
during the time one is well and strong
will prevent the encroachment OF disease,
whereas a continuance in the use OF
improper food and drink is sure to build
in disease sooner or later, and by some
curious law the demon shows himself just
when we are on the point of accomplish
ing some long cherished plan.
But poor lodgment for. disease can be
found in the properly fed md nourished
man or V oman.
Coffee is an insidiouS foe to some sys-
tens, while it does not seem to hurt
others.
In cases where palpitation or un-
pleasant symptoms Of heart appear,
or stomach, head. liver or bowel
dist sturbances. it is almost always
traceabie to coffee and can be made
plain to the user by abandoning coffee
ten VS. to a month and adopting Postum
Food Coffee, which will furnish the ele

same elements IS are destroyed in the
nerve centers by the use of Coffee. Peo-
pie can be happy and can realize their
wishes il they will use good reason in
their daily habits of food and drink. We
take pains with our animals to see that
the food is carefully selected; yet we are
likely to seriously maltreat that marvellous
bit of ma achinery said to be made in the
likeness and image Of Him who planned
