FROM MANILA.

The following letter was received
last week by Mrs. Joseph Parry
from her son, Corporal Will Parry
who is with the Idaho troops al
Manila. AS Will has host oI
friends here, Mrs. Parry permits
Us to publish the letter.
Manila, Feb. 10 1899.
Dear Mother---We have had a
fight with the insurgents, and gave
them such a thrashing that l don't
think they will care to fight US
again, but 1 came out of it without
a scratch. l will tell you of the
fight from start to finish. Saturday
night as we left our quarters, we
heard shooting on the outposts, so
we knew the war had begun.
We marched out to within half
mile of the outposts, and lined up
to wait our turn to go to the front.
The bnllets were falling all around
us even then, and one man was
killed and one wounded while wait
ing there.
The next morning we were laying
in a church yard still waiting for
orders to 60 to the front, when
the insurgents began shooting at us
from the church, but they did not
iniure any one.
In short time we started for the
firing line, and then our fun began,
we deployed as skirmishsrs and
started shooting, we would fire a
few shots, and run for the rebs,
while they were shooting at US.
We left a trail of dead and
wounded Filipinos clear across that
rice field. We waded in mud up to |
our thighs; waded rivers up to our
necks; charged with yell into
their trenches, and all the time |
bullets were falling like rain around |
us, but we soon got used to that.
Maj McConvlle was always in front
shouting "Come on boys" and
what is the matter with the
Idahos now."
Well we finally drove them back
across the Paslg River, and captur-
ID two large guns, 8 8 10 inch shell
We had to fight every foot of the
way scross that rice field.
Our company had one man killed
ind six wounded. our heaviest loss
vas our Major, who was QUE of the
)ravest men that ever walked, All |
,ur officers showed signal bravery.
We estayed there on the field for
wodays, when we moved TO San
Pedro about ten miles inland, and
tayed there until last night, when
re returned to our quarters. | :
ave to close now as it is time for
be mail to leave.

Widowed In Two Years She Has Had a New
Husband Every Two Years Since.
SECURED EIGHT OR NINE DIVORCES.
Only Fifty Years Of Age, She Looks as II She Mar
Ysl Outls a Dozen Nor, Husbands Some
Other Matrimonial Records.

Noblesville, Ind, Aug. 1.-Queer mat
rimonial records have been discovered
in Indiana. One Of the most remarka-
BILE of these is the fourteenth marriage
of Aunt Polly owens. Of White River
Township, Hamilton county. She prob
ably holds the Mississippi valley multi
marriage belt. She is only fifty years of
age, and looks as though she might
outlive a dozen more husbands Aunt
Polly was married the first time when
she was fifteen years DID, and was lt,t
a widow two years later. Since then
she has averaged a new husband every
two years. She has procured eight or
nine divorces. The rest OF her husbands
have died. She has only six children as
the result of her multi-marriage ca
reer, but those six have as many differ
ent names.
Edward Dorsey. residing at 1918
Northwest street, Indianapolis, has not
only one of the best matrimonial rec
ords in Indiana, but he lays claim 10
the largest family in the state. His
family numbers forty-nine children. the
result of six marriages. Twenty-nine of
them are stepchlluren, Dut they are all
claimed by him as his family.
A combined marriage and family rec
ord which probably stands without
parallel in the Mississippi Valley is
that OF John Griggsby ana Dycla Clark,
of Anderson. He is sixty-seven and she
is ten years u s junior. 1t is his sixth
and her fifth matrimonial venture. Both
have large families. There are dfteen
different family names.
New matrimonial age limits have
been recorded in the last month. Pearl
Gates, age eleven. married Louis Gates
at HadIey Station, Hendricks county.
Conrad White, age seventy-six. and
Margaret j. Sheets, Of Morris, H., age
fifty-six. eloped to Valparaiso recently
and were married.

Thrown on Her Own Resources, Young
Woman Became an Artist in London
SHIRLIE SAW ONE OF HER PICTURES.
Recognized The Name, Looked Up Mrs. MarkWood
and Her Daughter, and H:w Their Engage
msnl to Mary Is Announced.

New York, Aug. 1.-The engagement
has just been announced OF Miss Mary
N. Markwood to Mr.. Walter N. Shirlie.
OF Richmond and New York. The we'd
ding date has not been announced, but
the ceremony will probably take place
in the early autumn. A very pretty
little romance is connected with the en-
gagement, such as is more often
found within the covers OF a novel than
in the story of real every day life.
Miss Markwood is the daughter Of
the late John X. Markwood, of Rich
mond, Va. who prior to the civil war
was a gentleman of considerable means.
and who with his family passed his
winters in Nov York and Washington
Like many other southern gentlemen
he found himself impoverished by the
results of the war. Unable to retrieve
his fortunes in Virginia he removed to
New York and later to Chicago. where
he engaged in business. Several years
ago he died, and an examination OF his
affairs showed that. though fairly sue
cessful in his later ventures, he had
left but very small estate TO his wild
ow and his daughter Mary.
The young woman having a most
pronounced u tistic talent, the mother
and daughter decided To go TO Europe,
where Mrs. and Miss Markwood have
since resided much of the time. The
young lady has been a student of
painting in Paris and in Dresden, her
work being eminently successful and
attracting no little attention.
Last winter Mr.. Shirlie. whose par
ents were near neighbors OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Markwood In virginia. was traV-
cling in Europe, when, at an art shop
in London, he came across a canvas
bearing a name that had been familiar
TO him i'm younger days. Inquiry as TO
the artist and her whereabouts con-
firmed him as to the identity OF the
painter, and few days later he knock
ed at the door of Mrs. Markwood's
home. near London. and introduced
himself.
Talking over old times when far from
home end frequent visits TO art CALLER
les together Is not the best method in
the world perhaps TO keep young peo-
pie from falling i'm love with each 9TH
er. and the news just received here by
friends of Miss Markwood and Mr..
Shirlie would have been less OF a sur
prise had they known the circum-
stances abroad that led up to the pleas
ant sequel.
