The Latest Hat Is the "Roxane."

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Just about June the lace hat, which
in Paris is called the "Roxane," will be-
gin to make its influence felt. Any wo-
man who knows anything of style and
dainty needlework can make her own
RoXane by buying becoming shape of
white wire covered with coarse muslin,
and.onto this frilling deep cream Mech
lin, That comes at Is and 20 cents yard
by way of the bargain counter All
she need do when the hat becomes a
fluffy mass of lace frills is to wreathe
pale pink or mauve carnations, with
bows of black velvet ribbon, around
the crown, and in such an inexpensive
piece of headgear she is fit to appear
before queen.
Beside the "Roxane," they are twist
ing scarfs of lace around straw crowns
lining brlms with lace and making big
filmy rosettes of lace. Lace seems to be
the natural accompaniment to all the
white muslin and colored dimity gowns,
and every woman will possess at least
one lace shirt front to wear with her
spring coat. A lace shirt front is made
by gathering row on row of lace either
in straight horizontal lines or semi
circles across the bust, so that from
chin to waist this soft front tufts out
between the open edges of the coat.
At the chin the rows of lace are most
narrow, growing steadily wider toward
the waist, and then the high collar,
with points behind the ears is covered
with the narrowest possible gatherings
of lace.

kind of man her mother would select
as the husband of Lizzie" Mrs. Hawk
thought if she had seen her sister she
would have been able TO persuade her
not to rush into matrimony.
1t aprears that Miss Ruffner, whose
home is in New Mexico, was visiting
her sister at Melrose and there met
young Wolff. When Mrs. Hawk learned
that the young couple contemplated
matrimony, she tried to talk her sister
out of it and congra tulated herself that
she had ben successful until yesterday
morning, when she woke up and dis
covered that the girl was missing, and
on inquiry learned that she had left
with Wolff on the night train for
Butte Suspecting the object of the
trip, she tried to prevent the issuance
of a marriage license, but was unsuc-
cessful. It is presumed that the young
couple have been forgiven and have
promised never to do it again.

EL0PEO FROM MELROSE
A Telegram Couldn't Stop a Mar
riage License.
KNEW THEIR OWN MINDS
There Were No Legal Obstacles, So Ad-
olph Wolff and Elizabeth Ruffner
Were Made Man and Wife.
They Are Forgiven

An elopement with a bit of romance
and a few sensational features to it
ended yesterday in the marriage of
Adolph Wolff and Elizabeth Ruffner.
The couple eloped from Melrose, arriv-
ing in Butte on the Short Line train
Tuesday night, or rather early yester-
day morning. About 10 o'clock they
called at the office of the clerk of the
district court and asked for a marriage
license. The clerk got down the big
register and proceeded to ask them the
usual questions, and when he learned
their names he remembered that he
had about an hour before received a
telegram from w. A. Hawk at Melrose
instructing him not to issue license
to Wolff and Miss Ruffner The clerk
showed the telegram to the young
couple and they laughed al it. They
said they were old enough to know
their own minds and told the clerk that
there were no legal obstacles to their
marriage. Hawk, said Wolff, was Miss
Ruffner's brother-in-laW, and objected
to the marriage because he thought
Wolff was not quite old enough or good
enough for Miss Ruffner but she
thought differently. The clerk said he
was willing to issue the license pro-
vided they would make an affidavit as
to their legal qualifications to become
married. They very readily did that.
Wolff related that he was q years of
age, native of Germany, and the son
of Henry and Dora Wolff. Miss Ruff
ner made an affidavit that she was 20
years of age, born in st. Louis, daugh-
ter of J. F. and M. E. Ruffner, and
that her home was at Ration, New
Mexico The clerk then made out the
license and the couple Immediately pre-
ceeded to see a properly authorized per-
son and were made man and wife.
About - o'clock Hawk and his wife,
the latter a sister of the new Mrs.
Wolff, arrived in Butte by freight from
Melrose They made straightway for
the office of the district clerk and anx-
iously inquired if the marriage license
had been issued and were told that it
had They took the information very
sensibly and Hawk said they had no
particular objection to Wolff except
that he was too young, and Mrs. Hawk
said she did not think Wolff was the

How Crock of Ages Was Written.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In a recent letter written to Dean
LEROY by Sir William Henry W lllie, a
member of parliament for Bristol he
made a very curious statement which
has naturally excited a great deal If
interest in the ecclesia stical world. Sir
Williams writing was in relation to
the strange circumstances connected
with the first inspiration of the famous
hymn, Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me-
The story which has just been
brought out by Sir William in his own
words is as follows: During the read
ing of some old documents recently, I
came across statement in regard to
Toplady's inspiration for his famous
hymn, which seems to prove that the
original Rock of Ages is in harrington
Coombe, which Is on the edge of my
place, and after a careful investigation
of the matter l am satisfied that the
story is true In every particular. 1t
appears that one day the distinguished
author was caught in a heavy thunder
storm in Darlington Coombe, and thsr
taking shelter, between two massive
piers of our native limestone rock, he
penned his famous hymn that has i'm
mortalized him."
In all England there is probably no
more beautiful weird or romantic spot
than Darlington Coombe-a deep in
~,
as Black Down, which, rising to the
height of LOO feet, forms the summit
of the Mendip range. The road WINDS
through harrington Coombe, between
lofty, and in some places precipitouss
slopes, where the gray rock Shows bold
ly among the bracken. At one point
there is conspicuous crag of noun
| tain limstone 70 or so feet in height, a
prominent object on the right hand
to anyone approaching from Blagdon
road. Right down the center Of this
| mass of stone is a deep assure, in the
receeses of which grow many a fern
while on the hillside around are trees
| whose stunted growth and Wind-worr
appearance tell of the scanty soil and
the exposed situation.
This was the fissure in which Toplady
took refuge, and it was this cleft" and
this rock which suggested the centra
idea of his beautiful hymn.
This is the beginning of the hymn as

THE FUTURE OF CUBA.
Madame Cespedes.Wnl Play Leading
Role in Deciding 1t.

Madame Cespedes:Wil Play a Leading
Role in Deciding 1t.
Havana, May 3.-The future OF Cuba
will be probably Influenced by woman,
Madam Cespedes whose salon is visited
by the best-known men not only OF Ha-
vana, but of the entire island.
General Maxine Gomez dimes with her
from three to five times week Madame
Cespedes is the widow of the first presi-
dent of Cuba in the 1O-years' war and de-
cisions reached at her salon are far more
effective than any decree passed by the
recently defunct Cuban assembly. Men
of standing who are devoted to the prin-
ciple of Cuban national independence are
welcomed to the salon and assist at its
councils. 1t is believed by persons in a
position to know that full understand
ing has been reached by Madame Cespe-
DIES and General Gomez regarding Cuba S
future, and the first real president of
the proposed republic, for all of the for
mer presidents have had office without
power.
At one time Gomez was seriously con-
sidered for the presidency, but after the
action of the assembly in assailing his
course, some considered that his candi-
dacy would probably meet with strong
opposition. As a result of conversations
at Madame Cespedes' salon it is asserted
the first president of Cuba will be Carlos
Cespedes, son of the war president.
The party of General Gomez believe that
it is none too early to begin movement
in behalf of Carlos Cespedes, as they eX-
pect that American occupation of the is
land will end before next summer, and
probably by April, 1900. 1t is represented
that Carlos Cespedes possesses every quail
ification that is likely to make him pop
ular with the masses throughout the en-
tire island. He is about 40 years old and
unmarried.

Be of sin the double cure,

Reigned Supreme in Lake View, Last
Sunday.

Last Sunday was what some call a
big day Ia Lake View. The Columbus
Germans to the number of about l, 500
came with cane racks, rag babies and
other devices and accompanied by a
carload of beer, (which we were inform
ed was disposed of in quantities to suit
the purchaser) and it was evident from
the start that there would be shot
time in the old town.
Things went all one way until about
5 p. M, when Marshal Bailiff arrested
the parties who were selling the intox-
icants and they were taken before his
honor, Hayor Lilies, who gave them a
small fine and word of warning and
let them go just in time to get on the
train, which stood in waiting at the
depot. We never saw such a case of
lawlessness forced upon community
as that of Sunday. Shame on any
community that will permit it. Shame
on any man who will uphold it.
The whole matter has resolved itself
into this question: Is it right to do
wrong? If it is, then we do not be-
lieve in keeping up the expense of the
officers. If it is a money matter alone,
dispose of our officers and let the mon
ey paid to them go into the treasury.

COST OF LIFE INSURANCE.
$I33.o5 Saved in s Years.

We call attention of our readers to
the showing of dividends in the Union
Central Life for the years 1S95-6-7-S and
9, as compared with the Mutual Life"
of New York. On the same kind of
policy, same amount, same age, same
rate, and same date of issue, the Union
Central, in the past five years, pays
$133.05 more dividends than the
Mutual Life, or an average of S26.61
per year in favor of the Union
Central policy holder. It is clearly
evident that it does not pay to send our
money to New York for life insurance
when we can obtain such results at
home.
In comparing dividend results with
any of the New York companies, the
Union Central is far in the lead. This
is so easily explained when it is under
stood that the interest rates in New
York and other Eastern States are
much less than in Ohio, the difference
being two per cent. in favor of Ohio
rates and the policy holders of the
Union Central get the benefits of the
higher rate in dividends.

BOB YOUNG
Still Missing-Wanted On Serious
Charge.

Our Bellecentre correspondent gives
the particulars of the serious charge
against Bob Young, the well known
Bellecentre saloon keeper. Young dis
appeared as soon as he found he could
not hush matters up, and has not since
been heard of. The charge against
him is rape, and his victim is a girl of
IA, who has neither father nor mother.
1t is to be hoped that Young may be
found, and sent to the penitentiary. A
correspondent suggests that the Com
missioners should offer a reward for
Young's arrest. The suggestion is a
good one, for the crime is an infamous
one, all circumstances considered, and
it is no wonder the community is excit-
ed over the event. Young was for a
long time a saloon-keeper in Belle
center, and is believed to be the owner
of the saloon now run there in defiance
of the law.
