elopement was arranged. This morning
they arose early and slipped away to
ST Louis. They were reported to have
been married at Union, Mo.
Anna left two notes, one to her sister
and one to the Tilted Isselhardt. To her
sister she wrote: Il just couldn't help
but love him" To Isselhardt, she wrote:
IF you love me, I appeal to your love
loved you, but when I saw him I felt
that life would not be worth living with
out him. Don't try to follow US. Good

lover, but condemns her sister. She says
she don't care for herself, but she is sor-

RESENTED BY ITALY.
Lynching OF Her Sons Results
in Prompt Action.

Washington, July 22.-The lynching of
five Italians in Louisiana yesterday
promises to assume an international as
pect through the action of the Italian
government. Count Vinchi, the Italian
charge d'affaires, called at the state de-
partment at an early hour this morn
ing and made representations to the
officials concerning the atrOcity in Lou
1siana. In order to get full information
as a basis for action by this govern
ment, Secretary Hay thereupon tele-
graphed the governor of Louisiana, re-
questing all the facts in the case. Count
Vinchis action was predicated on reports
from the Italian consular officials In
Louisiana and by the press reports.
There is reason to believe also that the
Italian foreign office is already fully
informed on the occurrence
It is probable, however, that the rep
reservations of today are only prelimi-
nary, with a view to calling attention
to the facts reported and to pave the
way for any protest or demand of rep
aratlOn which may follow.
The affair is considered in official
italian quarters as much like that in
the Malta cases at New Orleans while
Mr. Blaine was secretary OF state at
which time the italian minister, Baron
Faya, called for his passports and left
the country. Baron Fava- is now in
Rome on vacation and during his alb
sence Count Vinchi has charge of Ital-
ian affairs in this country.

SKEPTICS ASTONISHED.
Strange Happenings at the Spiritual
ist Convention.

Springfield, Mo, July 22.-The Spirit
ualist camp meeting held an interest
ing session yesterday afternoon in the
way of an experience meeting. Each
Spiritualist present gave an account
of how he or she came to be Spiritu-
alist, what sacrifices they had made
for this peculiar religion and their pro-
gress.
The experiences of Mrs. Cora I. v.
Richmond, the noted medium, were the
most interesting, as related by her.
She said at the age of IL years she was
a bashful school girl and had been di-
rected by the teacher to write COM
position Taking heN0slate and pencil
she went out into the yard and sat
down upon the grass beneath spread
ing oak. After laboring in vain to
write something upon the subject as
signed she fell asleep. When she awoke
she was surprised to see a massage
written upon her slate in a strange
hand. She read it and was still more
surprised a its contents. The message
was from her mothers sister, who had
passed away many years before. The
spirit message said that it had found
in her a. medium and that she should
devote her life to the work. Her moth
er, not being a Spiritualist, did not
know what to make of it and at first
hooted at the idea, but the girl took
deep interest in it and through the as
sistance of others was at last able to
communicate with the spirit world.
Some of the readings of Mrs. Ropp
were marvellous, as she selected skep-
tics for her subjects and convinced
many that she is no humbug.

ALGER UNDECIDED.
He May Not Be Candidate For
Senator.

Detroit. Mich, July 22.-Gen- Alger
will not decide whether he will run
for the United States senate until he
returns to Detroit in about two weeks.
Friends close to him say that he Is dis
gusted.
Mr.. Alger is disposed to retire from
politics altogether, and devote himself
entirely to his great business inter
estS, but a decision has not been reach
ed. 1t is felt here that his alliance with
Governor Pingree had much influence
with the president. Governor Pingree
refused to believe that the secretary
had resigned when made acquainted
with the report from Washington.
I don't believe it at ALL he ex-
claimed. 4 won't believe it till know
more than newspaper reports. The
president has stood by Mr.. Alger, and
I think he should. If Alger handed in
his resignation, it will not be accepted,
anyway"
Did Mr.. Ayers senatorial aspira-
tons have anything to do with it?' the
governor was asked.
NO, stree. I'd like to know why. They
don't make senators down in Washing
ton, do they. We make our own sena-
tors
WAS it necessary for him to resign
in order to continue his campaign
here?'' he was asked.
I don't know about it, he repeated,
slowly. 'All these newspa pers, when
in a combination, can ruin anybody"

RACE OF BIG STEAMERS.
Three Sound Boats Struggle For the
Supremacy.

New York, July 22.-There was a
Renaissance of the old steamboat
races on the Mississippi on Long Is
land sound last night The three big
steamers, Richard Peck, Puritan and
New Hampshire, came within sight of
each other off the New Haven light
and each tried to make the best time
to New York.
The Puritan got in the lead, but was
being rapidly overhauled by the Peck,
when the latter steamer crashed into
the Puritan and brought the struggle
to an end. OF course, the captains all
say that there was no race which is
also like the old Mississippi captains,
who always denied that they were rae
ing, even when they were throwing
hams into the furnace and had a negro
rOustabOut sitting on the safety valve
But you can not control the sporting
spirit of the American people, and any
one who has come from New Haven
and Boston to New York by water
knows that 1t is a common thing for the
captain to give a race to the boat of
a rival line, if there is an opportunity

A RED HAIR CLUB.
Men and Women With Cerise Locks
Band Together at Trenton.

New York. July pa club of "red-
headed ladies and gentlemen has been
formed at Trenton, N. J. It is called
the Cerise club, cerise being the French
for cherry, and cherry being the tint
that the members considered most
beautiful for the locks. Thomas Holmes
the originator of the club. says that for
a long time the red-haired people of
Trenton have lacked cohesion. They
tacitly admitted that the color of their
hair was a misfortune, and they lived
out their lives more or less in solitude,
worrying about the matter.
But Mr. Holmes says the time has
come when they mean to hold up their
heads red hair and all, proudly in the
community.
They will begin. they declare. with a
red-haired beauty show, at which the
prettiest members of the club will be
placed on view, to prove to the com
munity the artistic qualities of their
locks.
At the first meeting of the club a
joint debate will take place on THE Lie
About the UnpOpularity of the
BlOndes'

A British flef1et as strong as his own made it's appearance iii the bay, and then there was nothing to do but flee. The commodore did flee, and he started hastily up the Penobscot with the British close at his heels. Upcn reaching Bangor, Saltonstali and his men deserted the ships, took what stuff they could carry and blew up their vessels off Crown Point in order to prevent the pursuing force from getting any prize.

CUpID'S BLUNDERINGS
in This Community We're All Re-
 paired Yesterday.

The tangles which Cupid has been effecting in this community since last Saturday were all unravsIed yester-
 day so that he can start in again with a straight sksin and a clean slate. Alfred Hayes and Hattie L. List, who eIoped from Glendale, are man and wife. R. J. List, the father of the bride, succeeded m having the various criminal accusations against his pros pective son-in-law dismissed and he was released from jail The meeting between him and Mss List when he was brought downstairs was a sight for gods and men, they were So happy They had at last come into a peaceful harbor after a singu!arly tempestuous voyage.
 Notwithstanding the Casa Grande marriage, which if not wholly fictitious was certainly invalid. it was decided that they could be married again with out subjecting themselves to prOsecu- ton for bigamy. A license was ac- cordingly procured and JuEtice John stone was sent for. The wedding was not unnecessarily prolonged. The brides father gave her away, and Dis trIct Attorney FIannigan gavd the groom away. Then they went outside, took a seat on a bench in the plaza and MT. Hayes fell to aGmiring the eX- teriOr architecture of the jail of which he had had a good interior view since Tuesday morning. They returned to Glendale in the afternoon.
 The elCDement case elf Pedro Silvas and Rita Lopez came up i'll Justice Johnstone's court in the afternoon. The parents of the girl were still Cb- durate and said they would rather at tend the funeral of their daughter than have her marry S:Ivas. There WIS nothing to do but discharge him. While hs mere willingness to marry cid net absolve him there is an un- written law. or rather an understand ing, among Ar.zona juryInsn that when a man leads a woman as de and is disposed to repair the damage so far as he can by making her his wife, and # there ara no legal obstacles in the way of such reparation. he ought to go free.
