A pretty story is told of young man
ried couple at one of tho hotels. Eott
were telegraph operators, and both were
at one time stationed at keys almost
1000 miles apart, yet on the same line

over the wires. The groom, mistakln@

by her to believe such was the case

HUSBAND NOT WELCOMED.
Wife Kicks Him Out Because he is
Not Hero.

Elizabeth, N. J., Oct. Hilary New
berry of Elizabeth enlisted in company @,
Third regiment of New jersey. The SOL
der boys were stationed at Sea Grit wait
ing eagerly for orders to start for Cuba
They all expected to become heroes then.
Miss Adeline Norton of Newark was very
patriotic. She went to Sea Girt to see her
old friend, Harry NeWberry. He had
never looked so handsome as he did in his
soldier uniform. She thought of the dan
gers through which he would pass, of the
bursting shells and whizzing bullets he
must face. He seemed to her romantic
fancy already a hero.
She married, that she might be the wife
of hero. for he had the stuff that makes
heroes, and she was hero worshiper. The
honeymoon was postponed until young
Newberry came back from the war.
But the New Jersey boys never left their
native heath, and now pretty Mrs. Adeline
Norton Newberry refuses to be the wife
of the honest fellow whom fate decreed
should not be the hero of a battle with
the Dons.
The day the gallant Seventy-f1rst march
up in carriage and cried enthusiastically,
Brave boys! Brave bOySi" She took the
roses from her belt and threw them at the
weary soldiers. In all the vast crowd that
with such wild enthusiasm as did this wo-
man. Her face was flushed, her eyes
shining, her whole form trembling with
excitement. That woman was AdeHne
her husband was not in that pitiful line of
heroes.
The beginning was as bright and delight
full fairy story. The end is a broken
band, rejected because not the right kind
of a, hero.

SOCIETY SEES KLONDIKE.
Scions of Noted Families Return From
the Frozen North.

Seattle, Oct 17.-Mrs. Roswell D.
Hitchcock, of New York city, and Miss
Edith NJ. Van Buren, returned today on
the steamer City Of Topeka, after a
pleasure trip to the Klondike. Mrs.
Hitchcock is a cousin of Rhode Islands
famous governor, Elisha Dyer, and the
widow of one of Americas naval heroes
Captain Roswell D. Hitchcock.
Miss Van Buren,, whose home is at
Englewood. N. J., is a great-grand
niece of President Van Buren, and
minister of Australia Her father was
once United States minister to Japan.
Besides a distinguished ancestor, Miss
Van Buren, is one of the few American
women accorded the marked honor OF
a presentation to Englands queen.
The voyage along the KlOndike was
made without a mishap of any kind
save a. fall, which Mrs. Hitchcock sus-
tanned in crossing White Pass, slightly
injuring her back
I'VE went for pleasure and to take
look at the K1ondike from the stand
point of society women, said Mrs.
Hitchcock tonight, land must say that
we were treated with exceptional cOur-
tesy and kindness by the miners. I have
never seen such a kindly set of men
and have no hesitancy in saying that
I would rather be left alone on the
streets of Dawson at midnight, so far
as regards security from insult, than
in either New York or London.
while we went for pleasure, we
staked claims, bought mines and with
our hands panned dust and nuggets
from the mines. Nowhere on the face
of the globe is there so rich a mining
country as the Klondike. Aleck Nc
Donald known as the king of all the
Klondikers, showed US many cour-
tesies, allowing US, among other things,
to pan and collect gold nuggets as spec
linens from several of his richest mines.
So intensely interested was I in the
voyage that I shall write an account of
it in book form"

RECEIVERS SPANISH GROG.
Maria Teresa is Literally "shot to
Pieces"

Guantanamo, Oct. 17.-Now that the
Infanta Maria Teresa has been pump
ed out and floats in the waters of this
bay the full extent of the havoc wrought
by the American shells for the first time
becomes apparent.
One 13-inch shell had entered the
Teresa's port quarter, exploded, setting
Adm1raPs Cervera's cabin on fire cut
ting thick iron stranchiOns and bulk
heads like cheese and tearing an i'm
mense hole in the vessel. Others had
entered amidships, cutting the water
main from the steam fire system, thus
preventing the extinguishing of fires
started in many places by exploding
sheels of smaller calibre.
Dead bodies were found in the coal
bunkers and engine spaces, the men
having been killed by exploding shells
and raging fires. It is almost impOssi-
bic to count or trace the shot, because
upon exploding they flew and cut decks,
beams and bulkheadS and the ships
side in all directions. The spar deck
beams are twisted and warped and
near by is the burnt silver chest of Ad-
miral Cervera. Below is the safe from
which the government recovered SIS. 900
in Spanish gold. How much the wreck
Vened will probably never be known.
Other recovered valuables consist of
81 casks OF fiery wine and sherry, the
service grOg of the Spanish navy; tons
or ammunition, ranging from huge 13-
inch shells weighing over a ton to the
small 1-pOunders. Unlike those of the
<A4LIlAIdulG OQueuQO ana NlZCdya, the
magazines of the Teresa did not ex-
plode; they were probably flooded upon
the first fire alarm. Hence, with the ex-
ception of her upper works, she is in
good condition and her engines are in a
fair way of being repaired.
The first wrecking expedition to raise
the Teresa arrived at Santiago shortly
after the surrender of Santiago, July II,
and a second wrecking expedition to
raise the Colon arrived shortly after
ward. No more was done on the Colon,
however, and both expeditions were
combined on the Teresa. Excepting the
11-inch turret guns, her battery was
removed leaking compartments segre-
gated, and Friday, September %, found
Hobson ready for trial to pull her off
Shortly after the American ensign was
hoisted, and signal was made that she
had left the rocks Sailors were put on
the Teresa from the Newark, and divers
sent down to make her ready for re-
moval to Guantanamo Bay.
About II a. m the government tug
Potomac passed an immense steel haW-
ser to the raised cruiser and started
ahead. Steam sirens and whistles from
naval ships and wrecking tugs weIcom-
ed this addition to Uncle Sans navy.

YOUNG BLAINE BACK.
It Is Expected That Washington Will
Ask for His RESIGNATION.

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE transport
Newport arrived direct from Manila. She
brought Major Simpson of General Otis
staff, who is ordered to report in Wash
ington, three furloughed men and Captain
James G. Blaine. Young Blaine is tech
nically to report for duty to Washington,
but it is understood he will be forced to
resign. as it has been found impossible to
keep him from drinking and creating dis
turbances. He began trouble here by hay
ing row in a beer cellar with young Hol-
lander over a woman and challenging Hol-
lander to fight a duel. In Honolulu he
also had a quarrel in public place, and it
is said that it required several officers to
look afterr him in Manila.
In coming off the steamer today he had
four boxes of cigars under his arm, and
his dress suit case was also full of cigars.
When the customs officer asked him how
many cigars he had he said:
well, about 900; but I am James G.
Blaine, Jr." The astonished officer allow
ed him to go ashore, though the limit is
$50 cigars, free entry.

ssHOBSONIZES" A LAWYER.
Mrs. Wolf Borwitz Showers Kisses on
Joel M. Longenecker.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Kisses in lieu of at
torney's fees Is the latest departure in
legal circles and ex-State's Attorney
Joel NJ. Longenecker, who was yester-
day "Hobsonized" in Judge BrentanO's
court, declares he is satisfied if Mrs.
Wolf BOrwitz, who bestowed the Oscu-
latOry remuneration on him is also con-
tent.
Mrs. Borwitz had retained Mr.. Longe-
necker to defend her husband in an en-
bezzlement case and when the lawyer
succeeded in having the case dismissed
yesterday afternoon the defendants
wife was so overcome with joy that she
deliberately threw her arms about Mr..
LOngenecker's neck and planted kisses
upon his cheek until he blushed like the
red red rose The attorney made no
defense, and to the surprise of his col
leagues entered no objections and re-
fused to file a bill of exceptions
Magistrate and lawyers gaZed in awe
at the exhibition Of gratitude, but the
recipient of the lady's benefcence looked
benignly at his legal associates and
pOuted his lips in expectation of another
onslaught, but in this he was disap-
pointed, as Mrs. Borwitz eYinced a de-
sire to escape the observation of the
people in the room, and fed with her
husband to the evident discontinue Of
Mr.. LOngenecker. Friends Immediately
crowded around him to ascertain the
cause of the unexpected and unusual
scene and to escape the gfbes of many
the attorney recited in detail the cause
of all the trouble.
