WASHINGTON WIDOWS.
They Persist in bringing Number
One to the Front on Every
Occasion.

I like gratitude. | like to hear of CRATE
full people, and an anecdote | heard recent.
" of one Washington man has pleased me
immensely. He has recently married the
widow of very wealthy gentleman, and
on the proceeds of the transaction he has
built n handsome house. When the house
was finished and the moving into it was ac-
complished, the wife and her mother fell to-
discussing Just where they should hang the
portrait of the former husband. They had Just
decided to hang it in a small room on the
second floor, when the new husband came
in and heard of the matter
Hang him upstairs!" he said. "No,.
stree. No, stree. That man was my bene-
factor. owe everything have to him. He
shall hang in the place of honor.
And husband No now smiles down,
from the mantel Of the drawng,room.
But that makes me think of another
Washington widow who has recently be-
slowed herself and her belongings on a Sec
ond husband.
1T S so Fortunate" said she to me; "my-
first husbands last name began with w,
you know, and so does my second hus.
bands first name. All Mr. WIS handker-
chiefs are Just the thing for Willie, and /
haven't even had to have the initial on them,
changed Washington Post.

ADDITIONAL DTsPATCHES.


A COMBINATION train, made up of a
chair coach and six ore cars, on the
South Park & Hill Top railroad in
Colorado, was blown from the track
on the Goth and rolled down an en-
bankment. Eight persons sustained
severe cuts and bruises.
The steamer Greenland returned
from the seal fisheries to st. Johns, N.
F., on the Goth and reported terrible
disaster While members of the crew
were travelling among the icehoes in
search of seals a blizzard arose and
many of them could not regain the
vessel. Forty-eight men persisted and
between 80 and so were SO badly fro.t-
bitten that the amputation of one or
more of their limbs will have to be
undergone by all of them. 1t was
feared that other steamers had suffered
in like manner.
AT least IA people were killed and
much loss of property resulted from a
tornado that struck Lehigh and Coal
Gate on the night of the Goth and
moved u path to South McAlester, l.
L, The dead, so far as known, are
James Seafoam, wife and three chill
dren; Alex Pendergrass and family, and
Samuel Stinson, wife and five children
The homes of several farmers were
picked up and carried away.
THE Oxford and Cambridge boat race
from Putney (Eng.) to Mortlake, AZ
miles, was won by Oxford in % min
utes and Is seconds.
ADvIcEs from Port-au-Prince, Hayti,
on the Goth reported terrible fnan-
cial condition existing there. The
premium on gold was go per cent, the
greatest misery and starvation pre-
vailed in the interior and flour cost $50
barrel.
The Associated press on the 9th
published complete abstract of the
report of the court of inquiry which
investigated the wreckage of the bat
tleship Maine, the abstract being OBJ
tanned from the report Itself. The re-
port is made up of eight parts. The
court deduces that a mine was ex-
ploded under the ship on the port side,
which caused the explosion of two
magazines. The Names officers were
held to be entirely blameless. The
court also declares that it cannot find
evidence to fix the responsibility.
NEBRASKA was struck by one of the
worst storms of the season, an Omaha
dispatch of the 9Tth stated. Ten inches
Of snow fell throughout the state.
Sheepmen were apprehensive about
their stock, but the wheat fields were
safe, being covered with thick blan-
ket of snow.

The Hon. George Curzon, who mar
ried beautiful Miss Letter, is decidedly
canny. He recently rented a country
mansion furnished, but without the
family plate and SO was compelled to
provide candlestioks for the house. He
tried to exact from the landlords agent
q pledge that at the expiration of the
lease he would take these candlesticks
off his hands at two-thirds of what they
cost. The agent demurred at first, but
when he discovered that they were 10
in number. of japanned tin and cost 40
cents each. he solemnly agreed to pay
"a for the lot when Curzon leaves.
