THE NURSE ARRESTED.
Carrie Jones Alias Bella Anderson, Con-
fesses to Assisting in the Abduction
of Little Marion Clarke

New York. June 3.-The World Sat-
urday morning says:
Carrie Jones, the nurse, who had
charge of little Marion Clark, was ar
rested at Summit, N. j., Friday night.
Before notary public Bella Ander-
son made the following confession:
II aided in the abduction of Marion
Clark, the infant child of Arthur w.
Clarke, of the city, county and state of
New York. In this abduction / was
prompted by Mark Beauregard and his
wife, Jennie.
II was told by them that l would
get half of any ransom paid for the re-
turn of the child. 1 was poor, tired
Of hard work and wanted money. l
was told that there would be absolute
ly no danger.
"The Beauregards schooled me in
the way to abduct the child. We had
determined to take the first child that

WON'T BUY NEW UNIFORMS.
laval Onhcers Succeed In Having an
Obnoxious Order Revoked
By Secretary Long.

There was rejoicing among the Of
icers of the navy when they heard the
secretary of the navy had revoked the
prder requiring them to buy 500 worth
Df new uniforms by October 1, 1900.
They made such earnest protest and
there was such a unanimity to the OBJ
ection raised to any change in the Of
hcial apparel of the service that Secre-
tary Long reconsidered his order,
which he had evidently signed without
much consideration and on the recon-
mendation Of an officer who is consid-
cred a crank on the subject.
The announcement that the order has
been entirely revised and that no ma
terial change will be made in the uni
form means the saving to officers of a
good deal of money. They felt that the
abandonment of one style of coat for
another was nothing better than a
whim and that they were without pro-
lection against any official who desired
to make changes as the notion struck
him.
The only change now ordered is the
placing of shoulder marks instead of
shoulder straps on the white service
coat and on the overcoat. This change
is one which meets with favor and does
not operate as hardship. In all other
| respects the naval uniform remains the
same. Those who admired the hand
some blouse will not suffer the shock of
seeing it displaced by the ugly double.

WINS BRIDE BY TELEGRAPH.
Denver Man nnfacturer Keeps the
Wires Hot Telling His Tale of
Love and Wins Out at Last.

The conclusion of q courtship COLI
Quoted by telegraph came in Jersey
City the other day, when Wilbur +.
Cannon, q manufacturer of Denver,
and member of the Colorado legislature,
was married to Mary Frances Fairchild,
organist of the West Side Methodist
Episcopal church. Last summer Miss
Fairchild visited Denver and there met
Mr.. Cannon. He was given no hope be-
fore Miss Fairchild started east. AS
the train pulled out of Denver Mr.. Can
non said he would continue their talk
by wire.
The train had not gone many miles
on it's eastward journey before the con-
ductor handed Miss Fairchild long
telegram, and the answer was prepaid.
This electric lovemaking was contin-
ued all the way across the continent.
That was the beginning of the tele-
graph courtship. 1t became an in
stitution. Mr.. Cannon and Miss Fair
child exchanged interesting wires
daily. They had the advantage over let
ters of being quicker.
In this way the widely separated pair
learned to know each other quite well.
BY degrees the organist found that her
heart was learning to respond to the
impulses of her Colorado admirer.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cannon will stay for
| awhile at New Haven and then go to
| Denver, where the manufacturer has
| prepared beautiful home for the bride
| he won by wire.

THAMES CHANNEL Sitting UP.
duced TwO-Thirds In Width
Since 1882.

An official report made by the ad-
miralty photographer states that the
principal passage for large vessels en-
tering the Thames, known as the Duke
of Edinburgh channel, has been sitting
up since 1882, and is now reduced from
a width of mile and half to mile.
1t seems possible that it will some day
be completely choked up, necessitating
long circuit. The middle Swim pass
age is also much contracted, threaten
ing to compel changes in the lights and
buoys. The report adds that the opera
tions of nature in the estuary are far
too great to be controlled.

ROWING A LOST ART IN NAVY.
Enlisted Men Fast Losing Their skill
AZ Handling the Oars--The steam
Launch In Responsible.

Naval officers deplore the lack of in
terest among enlisted men of the serv-
ice in the old-time boat races which
were picturesque feature of sea life
in port. The art of rowing is rapidly
becoming a lost one, and it is with diff
Guilty any of our ships of war now pro-
duce crew which can row with the
scrub" crew of any foreign vessel.
Our men dislike to pull boat, and
get out of the irksome task whenever
they can. Little of it is done in these
days, even at drills. Steam launches
are used almost entirely in going be-
tween ships and the shore. When land
ing parties are to be conveyed the steam
launches are also utilized, and there are
some 300 of these boats in the service.
The result is that enlisted men of the
navy know less and less each year about
rowing; few of thenf pull an oar as did
the old sailor, and one Of the best pas
times of the man before the mast has
passed with the extension of steam.
The older officers say there is a notice
able failure in other qualities which dis
tinguished the sailor man, who knew
about masts and ropes and the manage
ment of canvas. The modern sailor is
such only in name; he issin reality a
"b]ue jacket" whose work is made
lighter by mechanism and who lives in
an age of electricity and steam.
There is some talk of devising a
method by which the old-time accom-
| plishments of the sailor shall be pre-
served. 1t is pointed out they made
him good and useful man in time of
action, and it is said the best men at
Santiago and Manila bay were those
who knew something of the old navy.

The Trunk Umbrella.

The trunk umbrella, as its name
would imply, is an idea brought out by
some simple minded philantfropist. 1t
is nothing more or less than folding
umbrella, one that doubles convenient
ly in the middle of the cane and can be
gently laid in the tray of an ordinary
trunk. AT the end of the wires that
support the silk cover there is metal
catch that, when adroitly managed,
shuts in, thus changing the ordinary
umbrella to an object half its size, and
filing with rapture the breasts of thou
sands of beings who have struggled
with this problem for ages.

Arthur Clark, of New York city, on
May 81, was discovered two miles
south of Sloatsburg, a village about
eight miles from here, Thursday after
noon. She was found at a farm house
OF Chas. Youmans, and was in custody
of Mrs. Jennie Wilson, who took the
baby to that place during the early
part of last week. Mrs. Wilson was
accompanied by her husband and stat
ed to Mrs. Youmans that she wanted
board for the little girl for the sum-
mer.
Mrs. Wilson was placed under ar
rest by Sheriff Charleston, and after
time the woman made a confession.
Marion Clark, the child, is in good
health. She has no hat and her shoes
show much rough handling. Her cloth.
ing is also much soiled. The identi6-
cation is complete, even to the red
birthmark described in the circulars
issued by the chief of police of New
York.
Artnur Clark, the father of the abb
Quoted baby, arrived here at $3.50 o'clock

Sergt. Morris, of Capt. McClusky's
staff. Mr.. Clark Immediately identi-
fed the child as his lost Marion.

Clark saw her he exclaimed: ut is
Marion" In another instant she was
in his arms. After embracing the
child, he turned toward the Wilson
woman. who had been all this time
standing quietly in one corner of the
room. He went to her and gave her
searching look. "This is not the
woman who was with her." he said.
Mr.. Clark then left with his little
girl for New York. The arrest of the
man giving the name of James Wilson
and claiming to be the husband of the
woman took place soon after Mr.. Clark
had departed.
NEW York, June 2-Arthur Clark.
the father of the abducted child, ac-
companted by Chief of Police Devery
and Capt McClusky, arrived in this
city about half-past ten o'clock Thurs
day night, bringing back the 90
months-old child which had been miss
ing for IL days. Hundreds of
people were gathered before the
Clark house and the party with
the baby had to struggle through
the frantic crowd. There was contin-
uous cheering from the people banked
around the carriage as it drove up to
the door, and, in spite of the effort OF
the police to keep the sidewalks clear,
the child was almost suffocated in the
crush of the people pressing forward.
Mr.. Clark had to. fight his way up the
steps, followed by Chief Devery and
Capt. McClusky.
Mr.. Clark rushed to meet his wife
and the mother took the child in hel
arms and wept and sobbed.
The crowd On the outside yelled to
see the baby and Mr.. Clark held the
child up to the win'ow SO that all
could see it. This was greeted with
great cheers and then they cried fol

Yesterday one of the boys was found

How the Teller County Measure Was

spiracy to drug and kidnap two mem
bers Of the house Of representatives
who voted for the Teller county bill.
divorcing Cripple Creek from Colorado
Springs, on it's second reading. is di-
vulged here
The plan was to entice these two
.divisionists away to dine, give them
knockout drops, and hide them until
after the bill came up for final passage.
The absence Of two of the friends of
the bill would give the opponents of
Teller county clear majority of three
votes, sufficient to kill the measure and
relegate. Teller county to oblivion.
Mrs. Carrie Kaiser, of 1856 Stout
street, and Mrs. John Muhlemen. of
2529 Elliott street, were, according to
Mrs. Kaiser's statement, the persons
hired to carry out the plot. The rep
resentatives who were singled out as
the victims were Mr.. Short. of Dolores,
and MIR. Ovington, of Boulder county.
Mrs. Kaiser told the story this after
noon as follows: Mrs. Muhlemen I'm.
folded the plan to me day before yes
terday, or at least q part of it, for she
did not tell me all. We were to in
vite Mr.. Short and Mr.. Ovington or
any two members we thought would go
out to dine with us. Mr.. Hammond
was mentioned if Short Or Ovington
did not accept the invitation. We were
to go to the restaurant In the rear of
Pete Hollands saloon in the Ghost
block, at Fifteenth and Glenarm
streets. I understood from Mrs. Muhle
mems remarks that she had arranged
with the waiter to put something in
their coffee or dope their beer, though
1 don't know that for sure.
I'm the afternoon I walked down the
street with Mrs. Muhlemen and we
stepped into Hollands place. She call
ed one Of the walters and said: We'll,
we did not bring those fellows down
today. We will be around tomorrow
all right
THE waiter replied: I am sorry. Mrs.
Muhlemen, for we had fine dinner
ready for you and your friends. How
ever, it will be all right at another
time. Everything is all right
"Then Mrs. Muhlemen Joined me and
we walked down the street. I heard
she was to get 81, 900 If she carried out
the scheme and 1 suppose 1 was to get
the same, though 1 don't care to talk
about that"
