ress Before Marriage, VIII Take
Part in Private Theatricals.

Curiosity among the residents at
Lakewood has been piqued to the ut
most by the report that Mrs. George

stage during the Christmas holidays.
Before her marriage to the head of
the Gould family Mrs. Gould was Miss
Edith Kingdom, of Augustin Days
company. She left the stage before
her marriage, and has never since then
taken part in thea tricals.
Details in regard to her return to
the stage are being carefully guarded

her guests may be the more complete,
but It Is said that the duke Of Man.
chester will appear as leading man in
the play that is to be presented.
George Gould said that it was true
that Mrs. Could was to take part in
private theatricals for the amusement
of house party at Georgiana court,
his house here, during the holidays,
but he added that the plans were not
yet complete, and that he preferred
not to discuss them until everything
had been settled.
It is understood that the play will
be presented on an elaborate scale, and
that none of the theatrical accessories
will be lacking.
It is said that after the holidays Mrs.
Gould, with Lady Mary Sackville, who

IEALOUsLY GUARDS HER EGGS
Strategy Employed to Separate a
Great Python from Her Nest in
New York Zoo Fails,

Strategy was employed the other day
in the reptile house of the new zoolog
ical garden at New York with a view to
separating the big royal python from
her nest of 81 eggs, the largest number
ever laid by snake in captivity. At
tendants say that without sand and the
heat Of the tropics the snake never will
be able to hatch the eggs. but she
guards them fiercely, and seems conf
dent of success.
Edibles known to be in high favor
with pythons have been used to tempt
the reptile away from her embryonic
family, but, while willing to gobble the
good things, she displays danger sig
nails when g. reach is made for the eggs.
The eggs were first discovered on
Monday morning, and the attendants
were astonished by their number.
Ever since the python, usually of a
more or less gentle disposition, has
shown signs OF ugliness.
The snake is 20 feet long and weighs
$50 pounds. The eggs are pear-shaped
and weigh about a pound each.

PUZZLE FOR CUPID.
Interesting Romance Involving Twin
Sons Of Gov. Lowndes.
Young Lady Of ChiIlicethe, O., Fell
in Love with Dick and Became
~. the Wife of His Brother
e Lloyd.

Margaret Quinn, of Chillicothe, O.,
fell in love with the son of Gov.
Lowndes, of Maryland, welded the son
of Gov. Lowndes, of Maryland, and yet
is not the wife of the man who won her
heart. 1t is a story of confused identity
in which twins figure, and the dis
pensation whereby Miss Quinn became
Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., is satisfac-
tory to all concerned. The wedding
took place in Chillicothe the other day.
The Lowndes brothers, Dick and
Lloyd, who are over six feet tall, were
striking figures at Yale five years ago.
They were often mistaken for each
other. After graduation Dick married
a Clarksburgh, w. Va, girl and to them
came the first son born to a member Of
Yale 'e5-the trophy cup baby.
Dick took a business trip through
Ohio three months ago, leaving his wife
and the class baby at home. AS he
passed through Chillicothe Alvin Nip
gen, a classmate, met him and greeted
him as Lloyd. Dick protested, but Nip
gen insisted that he could not be mis-
taken and Influenced the supposed
Lloyd to remain in Chilicothe over
night.
That evening Dick met Miss Quinn,
daughter of the president of the First
national bank of Chillicothe, and when
he said goodnight they had pledged
to correspond.
After leaving Chillicothe Dick wrote
to Lloyd that he had by proxy met Miss
Quinn, of Chilicothe, and must CORE
spond with her. Dick went back to
his wife and the class baby, and Lloyd
took up the correspondence.
This went on for a few weeks. Lloyd
became much interested, and finally
visited Miss Quinn. She failed to per-
ceive that he was not the man who
had originally made love to her.
The night before the wedding Lloyd
told the girl that it was his twin broth
er she had fallen in love with. Miss
Quinn pouted for moment and then
laughed and said she loved the whole
family

FAST TELEGRAPHY.
tenn from New York City
to Chicago.

With weather condi lions unfavorable,
the inventors Of the Pollak-V irag sys-.
tenn Of telegraphy made successful
test from New York to Chicago the
other day-the longest distance yet at
tempted in their experiments thus far.
A message Of 200 words was transmitted
over the distance Of nearly 1000 miles
at the rate Of $4,000 words an hour. It
is the first time in this country, more
over, that a message thus transmitted
has been automatically and accurately
recorded by the receiving instrument.
Inventor Pollak operated the Chi
|cago end of the apparatus, and his col
league, Virag, was at the New York
instrument. When they began to pre-
pare for the test early in the morning
nisgivings were held as to the outcome.
Snow and rain had affected the wires
to a considerable extent, SO much SO,
in fact, that telephone communication
between the two cities was ftful and
unsatisfactory. Since the principles
Of the telephone enter largely in the
Pollak-Virag system, it was feared that
failure would attend the experiment.
But after some preliminary tests the re-
corder began to copy the original mes
sage as it came across the country,
and in a short time it was translated
from the code and found to have been
set down accurately. Then a man in
New York told Chicago through the
system that New York was having fine
weather and wanted to know how it
was in Chicago. When this was made
out the man at the Chicago end sent
word back that it was showing in Chi
sago, but that it was pleasant Chicago
snow. Whereupon the last test to be
made in this country for the present
was declared a success, and the in
ventor prepared to leave for New York.
He and his copartners will sail at once
for Paris to continue their experiments
there.

Chicago, Dec. 3.--A special to the l fimesHerald from Washington says:
 Gen. Leonard Wood will be the mas ter of all Cuba, under the direction of the president, until the time colues when congress takes action by provid, ing a new civil government for the is. land.
 Gen. Wood is not to be called off cially "civil governor" He will be military governor, in supreme com mand of the island, but in the absence of any insurrection or trouble-and none is expected by the administra- tion-his duties will chiefly be civil.
 Gen. Wood is to have the rank of ma jor general of volunteers, which will enable him to outrank the regular army officers, who remain in Cuba un- der his command.
 Some of the generals now there are ;o be withdrawn, and those who re- main will be placed under Gen. Woods orders.
 To appease those who are taken away, the president will make several promotions to brigadier generalships Of the regular army. Those to be thus honored are Generals Lee and Wilson.
 Gen. Wood will return to Cuba in few days, and as soon as the president can arrange the future of the other generals involved, the present com, mander at Santiago will be placed in charge of the entire island, military and civil, with headquarters at Ha- y.ua

Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 4.=Saturday the police were transferred to the mili tary department. Under command of Capt. Pierce, 150 men in new gray uniforms and wearing felt helmets similar to those worn by the New York police paraded, making fine ap- pearance.
 Until nows the force, owing to the jealousies of the municipal police, have been insufficient, and the mayor re- quested the transfer thus accom- plshed.
 Many former members of the force failed to pass the examination insisted upon by the American authorities, and the present personnel is a great inn provement upon the old.
