Fitchburg, Mass. May 19.-Tne game
scheduled between Brockton and Fitch.
burg was not played because of rain and
other reasons. Brockton arrived from
Manchester in the morning and went
home in the afternoon. Manager Norton
of the local team went to Boston to ar
range for transfer of tomorrow's game
to Brockton. The baseball supporters in
this city are feeling rather blue over the
encouraging season thus far. Every
thing has been against the local team

before the season Is much older, the
team will make a better showing, and
that it will prove one OF the strongest in
the league.

Z nd ola Sensational Houlton Elope-
ment.
A Houlton despatch to the Bangor

A Houlton despatch to the Bangor
Commercial says;
There was SAD ending recently to q
strange case of1women's uinfatuation and
a desertion of q happy home and husband
to elops with a common vagrant. The
end was the receiving vault In Houlton
cemetery where the remains of Mrs. Mus
grave, formerly Mrs. William A. Kay,
wife OF Houlton's deputy sheriff and
jailer, arrived few days ago from Port
land where she had expired suddenly.
And while the body of the erring wo-
man lies calm in death in the little re-
ceiving vault. William A. Kay, her di-
voroed husband and one of Houlton's
respected citizens Is carving out for
tune for himself and trying to forget the
past In the gold fields of the Yukon near
Circle City in Alaksa.
Houlton was startled over year ago
when 1T learned that Mrs Kay had run
away with u man named Musgraye who
had teen confined in Jail for vagrancy.
They couldn't believe 1t for Mrs. Kay had
been looked upon as sensible, motherly
woman, who loved her family and her
children.
william A. Kay, we'll to do Citizen,
was her husband and held the position
as jailer.
MusRrave worthless character, had
occh oeAoh Az VI PfuVcnucu tu6U Nc ndu,
after his arrest. for vagranoy. Kay took
pity on him and SO did Mrs. Kay. She
visited him In his cell and brought him
delicacies and cared for him in kindly,
Christian way. He was homeless wan :
derer with no friends nor money.
One day after Musgrave was released,
Mrs. Kay disappeared, and with her went
Musgrave. They went to St. John, then
to Bangor where they were married.
After that nothing Was heard from them
for some months.
Meanwhile William A. Kay cared for
his motherlsss children, fixed up his prop
erty here, resigned as jailor and went
away to the Alaskan gold fields to forget.
Before going he had obtained a divorce
from his former wife.
Tho honeymoon of Musgrave and his
wife was not Of long duration. 1t appears,
for she applied for . divorce from him
and obtained 1T In Portland early last
winter. SiEce then she has been living
in Portland. where she dropped dsad, a
few days ago.
Musgravs. the home wreoker, has disap-
peared completely.

ucate or we perish.
A pleasant smile may be marred by
discolored and decaycd teeth. 90
to DR.. Irvine and have your teeth
cleaned. There is no better test OF
refinement than a clean well cared
for mouth. Good digestion waits on
appetite, and health on both, and
a require good teeth.
Tartar on the teeth causes an abs0rp-

tormenter of the race, is but the
penalty of violated law. Nature

Consult DR.. Irvine at once; never

possible for Vinita this fall, and q
little advertising and intelligent

ment. What marvellous display
of fruits and flowers could be col
lscted in short time. What a
splendid exhibition Of single and
double driving turnouts could be
had. There are any number OF
blooded trotters in the country
that are just spelling to be placed
on exhibition. What a poultry
show could be had. There are a
score of people in the vicinity who
make speciality Of fine poultry.
Then there are the hogs, dogs,
blooded cattle, and just no end to
fine things that would contribute
toward making a successful street
fair. 1t will bring great many
people to town and be a
profitable investment in every
way. Let's have street fair.

Wisconsin Weddings.

The "easy marriage" is no long
err reproach to the State of Wis.
consin.
The passage of the True Mar
riage act will Interfere with the
percentages" paid by Milwaukee
preachers to hackmen and boat
runners who bring them custom,
but it will redeem the good name
of the State.
There have been many notable
Gretna Green weddings in Mil
waukee. Young Aubrey married
Chief Justice Fuller's daughter
there; they were divorced short
ly afterward. Robert Lincoln's
daughter was married to Beck
with, the football player; and
Charles Dwyer, the turfman, mar
ried in Milwaukee the daughter
of a San Francisco millionaire.
The law stops all that. Any
couple intending to be married
must apply for a license five days
in advance. Men under twenty
one and women under eighteen,
may not be married without their
parents consent. Marriage IL
censes must be publicly posted.
Heavy penalties are prescribed
for breaking the law.
The bill was opposed by lobby
of Milwaukee justices and by the
friends Of clergymen, but the mo-
raj sense of the country members
pushed it through.
One curious result of the law
will be that any marriage was for
five days Illegal in the State. For
of course, no license could be had |
until the law was passed, and no
marriage would be legal without |
one. That was inconvenient, but
it was not contemplated by the
author of the bill, Assemblyman
John M. True.

A SMALLPOX STORY.
Negro From Sedalla is Warned off
the Street.

Some excitement was caused
yesterday when Luster Foreman
announced that a negro with the
smallpox had escaped from the
hospital at Sedalia, made his way
to Vinita and was in hiding at the
home of Lettie Muldrow, in the
east part of town. This morning
the city marshal made a search
and found a colored man hid away
at the place named. He brought
him to Drs. Fortner and Bagby,
and giving the doctors an account
of himself he was sent back to
the house where he had been
found and told to remain there and
not circulate around town.. 1t
seems the fellow was quarantined
at Sedalia with some patients sus-
pected Of having smallpox, and
getting an opportunity be beat
his way on freight to this city.
