whether her lover was in waiting or not
At one of the Saturday evening concerts
given by the school Hattie did not appear
and search was made, but no one thought
OF the dirty negro boy who was crouching
In the basement as being the much-desired
young woman. She had been supplied with
boys outfit by her lover who had also
tipped the negro janitor into passing her
OF as his son. She spread on a supply of
coal dust, and thus, after the excitement
had died down, walked quietly down the
long path leading from the seminary and
made her escape. She married the young
man that night, and the next day they went
away on a wedding tour.
1t remains for Coldwater Kan, couple
to cap the climax. Harry Denny and Madge
Miller eloped on a cultivator. They made
good their escape. too, and were married
and received the forgiveness Of all. Denny
was a young farmer and his sweetheart
was farmers daughter. The parents of
both couples objected strongly to the
match. One day last spring Harry was
blowing corn in his fathers field Madge
came walking down the road, swinging a
basket of berries she had gathered in the
woods After a brief consultation the
young farmer drove his cultivator out Of
the field and the girl got on to 1t with him
and of to town they started to get married.
The girls mother came along the road on
foot and met them. She started In pursuit,
then abandoned that plan of capture and
went on to the farm to get a horse. The
young couple were only driving a plow
team. but they got over the country road at
a lively rate and were just married when
the old people got to town..

in a room, tied him, and barricaded the
door to prevent his marrying Miss Lydia
Storer. The girl went and got constable,
who ordered the father to release his son.
He did so and they then ran away that
night to prevent arrest by the girls par
ents.
At Pueblo, Col, Hiram Mcguire objected
to his daughters marriage to Willis Simp-
son, an actor. He kept a guard with his
daughter all the time to prevent elopement
This guard played traitor and he allowed
the young people to get away, but they
were captured before marriage Later
Simpson rode up to the Mcguire house,
which is out some distance from the town,
and the girl ran out and mounted the horse
behind him. They started to ride away,
when the father saw them, and started in
pursuit with gun, but he could not shoot
for fear of killing his own daughter. The
couple got away after a long chase and
were finally married, but had not, at last
accounts. got the old mans pardon.
Elopements from female colleges, under
the protection of a class teacher, are not
uncommon. In Kansas. Missouri and Ar
kansas alone seventeen Opponents from fe-
male seminaries are reported during last
year. The most unique comes from the
female seminary at Tahlequah. 1. T. "a
school for Cherokee Indian girls). Hattie
Cummins was quarter-breed Cherokee
girl and very beautiful. She loved Jack
Carlos, young white man who lived in the
town. Miss Cummins was under very close
restraint at the seminary. and 1t was an
open question among the faculty as to just
when she would escape. They knew that
she would run away the first opportunity.

Whatever is necessary in the way of re-

mounts for the OLD ones under the five-inch
guns. The ordnance bureau estimated that
several months would be required to make
the change. SO Acting Secretary Allen gave
orders for the ship to proceed without
waiting for the mounts, which may be sent
out to her at Manila later on. Under this
order it is expected that the ship will be
able to clear for Manila directly from Nor
folk inside Of two days.

MORE NEW MEN QUIT.

Very few people were to be seen
standing opposite the barns at any time
during the day and last night. About
a dozen cars, we'll guarded by the de-
puties, were taken out at the usual hour
and were operated on the various divis-
ions of the line on schedule time.
Charles Height, of Chicago, one of the
new men, deserted the barn yesterday
and departed for his home. He stated
that three other men from Chicago and
eight from Philadelphia had also re-
signed their positions with the COM
paiy during the day, and would return
to their respective homes. About
lightweight men were brought to the
city from Chicago and Philadelphia
shortly after the Inauguration of the
strike. Some of these men were re-
jected and others resigned. There are
about forty-one men confined at the
barn at present.

THE CRUCIFIXION.

The singing of the Crucifixion by the
vested choir of ST. Matthew's p E.
Church attracted a large audience to
that edifice last night. There was a
marked absence Of the rasping sound
in the chorus work of the boys. Blanch-
ard Hiatt, the tenor, was evidently suf-
fering from a cold. David Crawford s
rich basso voice was heard to good ad-
vantage in several solos. The music
was uniformly good and was much ap-
preciated by the listeners. The collec-
ton amounted to handsome sum. The
same programme will be repeated next
Friday night at the church. The choir,
under the direction of P R. Myers, is
becoming very proficient.
