MARRIED..
An EIoping Couple 0utwitted Their
Parents in Philadelphia.

The parties to the following interest
Ing story will be remembered as the
young couple that created some ex-
citement here several weeks ago:
On September IA marriage license
vas procured in Marietta for H. Hunt
Capers, of New Orleans, Orleans
county, La, aged %, and Agnes Perry,
aged IS. The young lady's home was
given at Marietta, this, no .oubt, be-
ng done to secure the license. They
were married on the same day by
Major Jewett Palmer, justice of the
peace, in Marietta They came here a
short time afterward and remained
until Tuesday, when they left for Gin
cinnati on the Avalon, from where
they go to New Orleans.
A story of their love affair, as re-
lated to prominent merchant of the
city by Mrs. Capers, was given a re-
porter today.
She, with a party of Philadelphia
young ladies, was spending the sum
mer at Atlantic City. One day there
appeared on the scene a young outh-
erner, who seemingly had more money
than he knew what to do with; a
splendid wardrobe and last, but not
least in the eyes Of the summer girl,
a plentiful supply of good looks. At
once he became the idol of the young
Philadelphian. Not many days had
passed until Miss Perry was singled
out by the rich young man, and shef
received every attention at his hands.
She and the othe girls no longer spole.
Now, here is where the summer girl
and cupid won out. Capers proposed
that they elope 70 some quiet town in
the middle west and be married.
She consented. So, selecting Mari
etta as a nice, quiet place, they went
there and had the knot tied.
MI. Capers' property, so the bride
asserted, brought him in an ample in
come for all their expenses, no matter
how large, so they expected to have all
the pleasure out of their honeymoon
that money coul buy.
Of their. visit here we told about
yesterday. Before leaving here Mr..
Capers stated that they would go to
Vicskburg and New Orleans for about
three weeks and would probably be
back here Notwithstanding Jour
lal.

down, gave them cordial welcome
and. the best of treatment. Yet Dem
ocratic papers will continue to repre-
sent these men as being neglected by
lie government and being provided
for by charity.
President Mckinley and Adjutant
General Corbin paid an unannounced
visit to the hospital at Fort Meyer,
where there are 400 patients, and
made personal inspection of the
whole outfit, the President stopping
long enough at each cot to extend a
cheerful greeting to its occupant and
sampling of all the food that was being
prepared in the kitchen. The Presi-
dent complimented Major Davis, who
is in charge, on the condition of the
hospital, and told him that he desired
to impress upon his mind that the pa
tients should have everything that
would improve them or add to their
comfort.
The inventive genius of Americans
is so generally recognized all over the
world that the government of far
away New Zealand has sent a COM
missioner to the U. S. to offer a prize
of $4,000 for the invention Of pro-
cess, either mechanical or chemical,
that will dress hemp fibre better than
the process now in use--,..at is, a
process that will improve the quality
and reduce the cost. The inventor of
such a process will receive the mon
ey offered as gift and still retain the
ownership of his invention, which,
the Commissioner declares, would
make him rich man in short order.
If anybody can furnish what is de-
ired, some American can.

Its a terrible bore,

An Astonished Porto Rican Editor,

The most surprised man in Ponce
after the surrender was the publisher
of the daily paper who was told by
General Wilson that his presses and
other property would not be confiisti-
Gated Out of pure gratitude he told
the Americans he would confine his
news of the day to runaways, society
and police court items, and wouldn't
say word about the capture of the
city. When informed that he could
hustle out his reporters and write up
a story of the surrender if he felt so
disposed, he almost dropped over in
his paroxysm of joy, and offered to
send General Wilson the proofs of the
first edition. Damn it, man." Gen.
eral Wilson said, Il don't want to see
your proofs. Go ahead and tell the
story just as it is. We don't censor
our newspapers and we believe in
free press" This unheard of liberty
so completely upet the editor that in
the first edition he abused the Span
iards in the purest Castilian, and ex-
pessed his sympathy for the new
cause.-Newspaperdom.
