WEYLER'S WIFE A PEASANT.
Romantic Marriage Of the Man Vine
Nads o Charnsl House Of Cuba.


Romantic Marriage Of the Man Vine
Nads Charnsl Heuss Of Cuba.
Weyler the butcher" had q romance In
his affair Of the heart.
The story Of his marriage is told BY
Madrid correspondent Of the London Tele-
graph, who says that the famous Spanish
officer had attained the rank Of lieutenant
colonel and was In command Of o crack
infantry regiment when he fell deeply in
love with singularly beautiful girl--like
himself nativoof one of the Baleario isles
of humble origin, being the daughter Of
respectable, hardworking peasants. She
had not even been taught to read or write.
Weyler did not disclose his matrimonial
projects to his family and friends, while
making every preparation for carrying
them into execution. Twenty -four hours,
however, before tho time fixed for the
celebration Of the wedding ceremony the
officers Of his regiment received from him
written requests to meet him at certain
church door early on the following MORN
ing. At the hour indicated they found
him awaiting them near the main en-
trance and when they had gathered around
him in q respectful semicircle he addressed
them as follows:
Brother officers, none of my people
know that am to be married this morn
ing. l did not tell them for reasons Of my
own, mainly because detest useless dis
cussion. But was not going to the altar
on my wedding day unless accompanied
thither by my good comrades. So ask
you to stand by me as witnesses and
friends. And want you to take note Of
what shall do when the officiating priest
shall have united ME to my young bride "
This terse speech was hailed with cor
dial acclamations, and tho military cor
tege filed into the church at tho heels Of
their commanding officer, eager to give
him their full support and countenance
and not little curious as to the eventual
denouement Of the colenel's mystery. At
the end of the religious ceremony and
after all the military witnesses had signed
the register Weyler left the church with
his wife on his arm and, followed by his
officers, marched her of to neighboring
convent, where he delivered her into the
charge Of the abbess and took leave Of her
with soldierly abruptness, displaying no
emotion whatsoever Then, turning to
his comrades, he said:
"Queridos hermanos, I have married
this maiden because I love her and she
loves me- She has had no education and
therefore is not at present at to associate
on equal terms with your mothers, wives
and sisters or to figure in society as the
wife of your colonel, 80 have arranged
that she shall remain for two years under
the care of these worthy nuns, who will
teach her all she ought to learn and even
tually turn her out credit to the regi-
ment. During tho interim I shall not
disturb her studies by my visits though
she is mine and am hers. Have done
right"
The answer may be taken for granted.
"Then come along and let us all 60 to
breakfast.
This is no less true than pretty story,
and its sequel has been all that Weyler
could have wished 1t to be.

What the Minister Said.

Helen Hunt, Chicago girl, found a
purse in church, and notified the pastor
that she had 1t, so II anyone reported
the loss it could be returned. The next
Sunday the clergyman made the fol-
lowing announcement from the pulpit:
Someone lost purse here last Sum
day evening, and If the owner wants
the property he can 60 to Helen Hunt
for it."

Salaries Of Army OMcers.

Uncle Sam has always been accused Of
being parsimonious in dealing with his
soldiers, and while there is nothing in tho
pay of private to tempt any one to throw
up good job, yet the commissioned Off
GERS are pretty well paid except for tho
time they are actually being shot at. In
timo Of war all persons connected with the
army have their salaries increased 30 per
cent, and hence in the figures given tho
increase has been added. Following arc

Not Republicans.

Gov. Bushnell, in speaking of the
late Republican state convention,
says: 81 do not regard either it or
its proceedings as representative of
the Republicans of Ohio, 1t was to
very great extent packed as
semblage of men who either are al
Ieady indebted to Mr.. Hanna for
federal offices, or who expect to be.
1 did not represent the great mass
of Ohio Republicans, nor voice their
sentiments. The gentlemen who
made it to order assume to be the
Republican party themselves, and,
of course, if that were so, the con-
vention would be truly representa-
tive. But the confidence L have in
the common people points a new
future for the new party in Ohio
time not far distant, when Re-
publicanism will stand up in its
true sense, and repudiate all false
prophets and false gods.."

ROusing Reception.

Delaware Gazette, Rep.
Four hacks carried distinguished
citizens, and a large number of peo.
pie met our fellow citizen, Mr.. d.
s. Fisher, on his return from the
Democratic State Convention.
Crawford's band saluted him with
ringing quickstep, and cheers
went up. The procession formed
after Mr.. Fisher had reached his
carriage through gauntlet of con-
graduating hands, and headed by
the band, escorted him to the Her
aid office. Here Hon. F. M. Mar
riott, in neat presentation speech,
gave him, as an emblem both of his
editorial work and his coming
clerkship, large gold pen with a
silver handle. Mr.. Fisher replied
with one of his characteristically
witty speeches, closing with a
likening of the weightiness of the
pen to his own coming majority.
Hon. j, d. VanDeman was called,
and added his testimonial to the
worth of our fellow citizen thus
highly honored, speaking in behalf
of his many Republican friends,
who will each say in the words of
Mr.. Van Deman. "If we must have
Democratic Clerk of the Supreme
Court, I'd rather have Dave Fisher
than any other"
Hon. John DeGolley closed the
speeches with an eloquent two
minute talk, closing with the pro-
phecy that November's. ides would
see two of our citizens, Fisher and
Van Deman both elected to high
places.
"Well, gentlemen said Mr.. Fish
er, "with your kind permission, I'll
resume business, for the time being,
at tho old stand,' and the reception
was over. With all Delaware's
people, regardless of party affilia-
tions, the Gazette joins heartily in
congratulating our esteemed fellow
citizen on the distinguished honor
conferred upon him by the Demo-
cratic State Convention.

The Stamp Tax.
Some Official Documents Which are
Exempt From the Tax.

Probate Judges are frequently
called upon since the Inauguration
of the new stamp law, to interpret
the act as it applies to official
documents. There has been a
wide difference of opinion among
Probate Judges as to the applica-
tion of the law, and Judge Schultz
hos held in a number of cases, that
certain official documents were
exempt, which other judges have
held came under the law.
In order to test the matter Judge
Schultz submitted his construction
of the law to Hon. N. B. Scott, the
Commissioners of Internal Revenue,
and recently received from that
official communication which
affirms the Judges position in
every particular.
Among the documents which
are exempt and which Judge
Schultz has held did not require to
be stamped are the following:
The returns of certificates of
birth and death, and certificates as
to facts concerning births, marri-
ages and deaths. A marriage cer-
tificate to be returned to any officer
of the State, county, city or town
to constitute part of a public
record, does not require stamp
But a marriage certificate issued
by the officiating clergyman OF
magistrate and given to the parties
if required by law, must be stamp.
ed at the rate of ten cents.
Teachers certificates, issued by
county superintendents or other
officer of State, county or munich
pality, do not require stamp.
No stamp is required on certi.
ficate of the sufficiency of security
on bonds.
| Letters testamentary, letters o.
guardianship or administration
etc, require no stamp.
No stamp is required on affidavits,

Now THAT the Republican party
of Hooking has put up semblance
of county ticket to bear on their
banner of corruption, it is time for
every Democrat to buckle on his
fighting armor and wipe the barter
ed opposition off the earth. The
wheedlers will be around and try
to buy you, trade you or sell you to
their advantage. They will invig.
gle the usual democratic corrup.
tionists into their mesh, and they
will work on together, but the hon
est voter will know the venom
pouch when he sees it and will
avoid the sting.
