 WERE UNITED.
TAPPING AT THE DOOR"
Mi. W. A. Lee and Miss Nell Collier Roma2tically R Married,
 Rev Buckner Officiating

Truly a Romeo and Jullet.
 The many friends of Miss Nell Caller will be surprised to learn of Ssr romantic marriage to MT. Will T.se. Tuesday morning at 1925 o'cock.
 Miss Collier IS the daughter of Nr. T. J. Collier. wealthy aud well known planter of Altheimer, Ark. She is 2 years of age.
 Nr. Will Lee IS the superintend- sat of the Pine Bluff Water < Light Company of this place, and is a young man of many fine qualities. Hei is B years of age.
 The expected has happened in an unexpected way. Ancient times nor novels of fiction do not contain ag the romances of real life. We are told stolen sweets are always sweetest, and the march that Miss Collier and Mr. Lee stole on their legion of friends and acquaintanees this morning confirms the saying that fiction some times becomes facts. It was just at the midnight hour when their came a knocking
 nothing more at the chamber door of the genial Mr. Buekuer, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church af this city last night at his home CD West Fifth avenue. Not knowing the mission he was arising from his slumbers to perform, he |hurr.edy donned his toilette and found couple waiting for him at the door. The Key. ". D. Buck. ner Has as much surprised as the community will be-. There vas no way out of the dilemma, for Mr. Lee presented the carriage
 license and the happy couple, attended only by the Rev. Buckner and MT. Fred DllIey as witness, re- paired to the Episcopal Church where Mr. Lee and Miss Collier were quietly married at 1925 Tues day morning. Mir. and Ms. Lee left on the 1T Cotton Belt train for Memphis and other points on bri- aal tour.
 ltis understood that Mir. Lee and Miss Collier had planned an elope nent for today, fearing parental ob- lsctio1. This fact became known to the brides sister, Mrs. Robt. F.. Lee, who on yesterday went to Al. .aelmer to gain her paren,s' con sent

THAT DISCRIMINATION.
Prosecuting Attorney W. B. sorrells
 Explains It.

Prosecuting Attorney W. B. Sor- rells called at the Graphic office yes terday to explain the apparent dis erimination in the records in the Raschoaum BurdeII gaming cases, mentioned in Sun- days Graphic, land to complain at what the prosecuting attorney con strued to be an attack upon him.
 In the beginning the Graphic dis claims any intention to attack or reflect upon the prosecuting attor- ney, but the record in the case aforesaid presented the appearance of discrimination in favor of the professional gambler over a private citizen, and in our opinion, needed an official explanation.
 This the Prosecuting Attorney ex- plains by saying that Justice Gar rett's records should also show his fee in the Burdell case. but claims that whether the Justices records show it or not that his fee is his private property and that he has 8 right to do with 1t as be pleases. However, while she Justices records do not show that tbe Prosecuting Attorney charged Burdell any fee. vet the sheriff's records do, and they show that Burdell paid to the Sher- if for the Prosecuting Attorney the sum of SIP 50. Thus the total sum paid by Burdel in the case was $28 75.
 In Dr. Raschbaun's case Prose- cutting Attorney Sorrels says that on last Saturday morning he inform ed the Doctor that if he would pay the other costs and the fine in the case that he would remit his attor ney's fee, and that instead of dis eliminating in favor of the profes- sional gambler, he had in reality discriminated in favor of the citizen, This is borne out by the following card received yesterday from Dr. Raschbaum:
 October ?, 1899.
 Editor Graphic-In justice to the Prosecuting Attorney l wish 10 say that on Saturday September 50 he agreed to take off $24 % if the mon- ey was paid, or let me go upon pay ment Of $20
 L. B. RAscHBAUM.
 Thus the record is clearly explain. ed ard the Graphic dismisses the subject without prejudice Gas the legal phrase goes) to any party at interest.

The report of the County Judge submits the following: The annual report shows that there has been 40 paupers cared for. Forty-three pau pers have been buried at the expense of the county. That there is much cleared land in the county assessed as wild lands. The county roads of the county have been greatly im- proved. Suggests the levy of q special road tax to be devoted to road and bridge tax of one mill for this purpose. The Warren road greatly improved. Judge Jones calls the attention of the levy board to the convict question as one well worthy their closest scrutiny and best thought, and thinks the hest solution to the convict question is the purchasing of a farm by the county.

ANTICS OF PENIS STATUE.

William Penn can be seen dancing
every evening in his high place on the
city hall tower. People standing on
the hump over the Reading railway
behold the founder of the common
wealth go through remarkable gyra-
tons, throwing his legs around in SUCH
a manner that it SENS they must come
off and fall to the great courtyard, over
500 feet below. 1t even seems that
the famous William bends low while
going through the dance, as if bowling
to a partner. Then he will straighten
up and again kick up his legs, finally
he turns completely around several
times. The dance, which does not last
more than ten minutes, is, OF course,
an optical illusion. The rare sight
cannot be witnessed until just al the
time when darkness is settling over
the city and after the street and tower
lamps have been lighted. The specta-
tor gazes steadily at the statue, and
the continued effect Of the falling night
and the strain on the eyes is to make
him imagine that he sees the usually
quiet man who towers over the city go
through rather SHOCKING perform

CHAPIAR XIV.

For some moments the count and the
lady sat in perfect silence, both col
lecting their forces for the final strug-
gle.
'You must remember, my lady," said
the Italian, at length, that you are
entirely in my power. One word
from me, and Lord Lynne will never
see you again"
Il am half-inclined to speak that
word myself she replied. Il would
rather be at Lord Lynne's mercy than
in your power
Looking at her proud, calm face,
Count Rinaldo knew that she spoke
truly. For the first time he felt that
he stood in the presence Of his SUI
perior. He did not wish to drive her
to extremes. A sudden thought
flashed through his mind.
'F1neZ,' he said, "be reasonable. You
are happy, prosperous, and beloved. I
do not wish to deprive you of all that
makes life dear and precious. I am
contented to forego my claims if you
will give me your assistance"
In what?' she asked, briefly.
I'm helping Pie to find a rich Eng
lish wife"
DO you dare to ask my aid in be-
traying another as l myself have been
betrayed" she said, proudly.
See, Inez," he replied, there is
much to be said on both sides. If l
meet with any one l like, and am a
good true husband how can you call
that betrayal?"

doubts as to whether that hurried mar
riage of ours stands good in English

Lord Lynne'S Choice
BERTHA M. CLAY
Continued.
BERTHA M. CLAY.


How she grew to love Lord Lynne
with the whole force of her passionate
nature,-how she strove to secure
his love, how she triumphed, and en-
joyed her victory reader knows.
No cloud obscured the brightness of
her new life. She began to think less
Of the fatal secret that had darkened
and blighted her youth. Slowly and
gradually the remembrance of it was
dying away, when she went to the
Duchess of Ruthwell's ball, and there,
in the stranger who stood watching
her she recognised the man who she
had believed dead and buried two
years ago,-the false, treacherous
Count Rinaldo.
In the first moment that her eyes
fell upon his dark face, she believed
it to be an apparition, and the blood
curdled in her veins; but when a
cynical smile overspread his features,
she knew at once that it was a living
man upon whom she gazed. For one
moment the trick of which she had
been the dupe and victim flashed

ness and death to be rid of her, and
she, foolish, credulous girl, was the
wife of two living husbands; one
whom she hated and loathed with her
whole soul; the other whom she loved
more than life itself.
One thought, one sentence rang the
night through in the ears of Lady
Lynne it was this, "My sin has found

OYSTERS PAID FOR CLEANING.
Good Use Found for Bivalyes on Col
lier's Bottom.

When the collier Brutus Of the navy
reached Mare Island navy yard the
other day after voyage to Manila, her
bottom was found covered with ma
ture oysters, and the commandant of
the navy yard has forwarded to the bu-
reau of construction and repairs a
box containing samples of the shells.
The painting upon the plates below
the water line was in good condition,
and there was no unusual eOrrosion,
but from stem to stern she was covered
with these oysters, which became at
tached to her while lying in Manila
bay. On one occasion when all the
coal in her hold had been removed,
and large part Of her bottom was ex-
posed above the water, the plates were
cleaned by the natives without expense
on condition that they be allowed to
keep the oysters, which they consider

BLUE GLASSES FOR FOCUSING.

Blue spectacles are useful for giving
a photographer a true rendering Of a
landscape in monochrome and enabl-

Color is frequently the chef charm of
landscape, and few people possess the
gift Of being able to see form apart
from color until they have produced a
negative. Another way is to use a

May 3. This is the day on which
according to the theory of the physi-

Arrowroot was prepared and sent to
his office. The jar containing the ar
rowroot was filled by Mrs Maybrick
tied up by her, and by her delivered
into the hands of the messenger. And
as before, Mr.. Maybrick warmed the
food in a small enamel saucepan held
over the gas burner, and turned it into
a pitcher. On the rim of that pitcher
and again on the glaze Of the sauce
pan, traces of arsenic were afterward
discovered. Withi1f two hours after
the consumption Of the food Mr.. May
brick became violently i'll, displaying
all the symptoms Of acute gastro-en-

which he never afterward arose.

that her husband objected to ply
