THE ADMIRAL AND HIS BRIDE
ELECT.

Everybody is nightly interested in
the engagement of Admiral Dewey to
Mrs Mildred Hazen, Of Washington,
and the least bit of news regarding
the pair is eagerly sought. Word comes
from the capital city that Mrs. Hazen
confesses to 45 years, and they have
passed over her as gently as Summer
breezes could, leaving only the slight
est tinge of gray in her dark hair.
She is a dhmi-brunette. with blue eyes,
arched, rosy lips, perfect teeth and a
bewitching smile. She is not tall in
fact, she might be called short. Her
figure is good, however. and we'll
rounded
Religiously, Mrs. Hazen is somewhat
remarkable. In the course Of her ca
reer. which may be truthfully described
as brief, when the age at which one
first imbibes religious ideas is consid-
ered she has studied and embraced
no less than four religions. First, she
was a Presbyterian. From that she
graduated into Episcopal ranks, which
attracted her until the Theosophical
craze swept over the country. Then she
embraced the doctrines of mysticism,
and for q time she was an ardent
lueOdOpulhN FIOH lHdl nut uelNcu
into Catholic philosophy, and il was
not long until Archbishop Keene, then
head Of the Catholic University, was
called upon to guide and receive a new
and distinguished convert to the faith
of Rome
Mrs. Hazen In conversation strongly
suggests a foreigner. a Frenchwoman
or one OF the nation whom Dewey hui
inflated more than year ago She is
enthusiastic talks rapidly. and her
gesticulations are more eloquent than
her words. In dress Mrs. Hazen is
very quiet, but she shows the best OF
taste. She is still in mourning for hnr
son, John. who was killed last year
by being thrown from a horse Her
daughter, Mildred, died in early child
hood.
Admiral Dewey himself seems thor
louehly to enjoy his romantic position
He is assiduous in his attentions TO his
fancee, sending her flowers every day
driving with her every afternoon, and
spending as many evenings as are len
to him in her society.

The stars and Stripes float on the wind,
The eagle, soaring, screams;
While freedom rings from sea to sen,
From mountains, plains and streams.
Mny Liberty rcsound throughout.
Tho whole broad realms of earth;
While heartily we celebrate
our Nations glorious birth.
May echoes noat from land to land,
Ana sad hearts catch the sound;
Fresh courage take, their chains to break,
Till captive stand unbound.
Not as n boastrul horde we stand
In pride of self-our might,
And strength and power is from Gods hnn'
Because we champion right.
Whose cause is Just, whose heart Is brave
Whose strength is in the Lord;
Hath victory, though by force lie stand
Unnrmcd by earthly sword.
God grant our ing may e'er float DER
A people pure and brave,
on eagle wing high may we soar
And swift the weak to save.
God grant the boon men died to win,
Many nc'cr less valued be,
our highest boasts, a nation true,
Noble, God-GcnrIng, free. LIT II.

plain, and without struggle passed
over the river to join her Savior
and friends gone before.
Dear Maud, we will miss you
In this, our earthly home;
Oh! that we may be ready,
That where you are we may come.
We rest assured that thou hast OBJ
tanned,
a grand and glorious rest;
That instead of sickness, pain and
death,
With eternal life and happiness,
thou are blest.

worse Saturday evening about five

poured out about tablespoonful
and drank it down. Drs. Barbee
& Barbee were called at once, and
after the use of proper antidotes,
soon had her out of danger. She

A SAD AFFAIR.
Mrs. Joseph Wallace Committed
Suicide Sunday at Her Home
I'm MERGERS Bottom.

Suicide Sunday at Her Home
in MERGERS Bottom.
Sunday afternoon Mrs, Joseph
Wallace, the youngest daughter of
Capt. John O. Porter, by his first
wife, aged about SO years, and in
bad health for several years, which
affected her mind and drove her to
this rash act which ended herlife.
She was alone in the house at
the time, her husband being out
on the premises looking after some
matters on the farm, when she got
hold of shotgun and went out
onto porch and placing it at her
breast, in some manner pulled
the trigger, the contents entering
her breast and arm, making fatal
wound, from which she died some
three hours afterwards. While
working with her she begged them
not to do anything to restore her
life, but to give her drink of
water and let her die in peace.
She was a member of the church,
and good Christian woman, and a
woman highly respected in the
neighborhood in which she
lived, and all her neighbors mourn
her untimely end.
She leaves husband and one
son about fifteen years old. She
was buried Monday at the Brick
Church near her home.
The Register extends it's deepest
heartfelt sympathy to Capt. Porter
and family and to the husband and
son, in this their hour of sore dis
tress.

The editor of an exchange has
made really brilliant suggestion
with regard to the question of wo-
men wearing their hats in church.
He advises return to the good old
custom of having the women sit on
one side of the church and the men
on the other. by which primitive
plan the women only would get
the benefit of their own hats. In
order to make this plan successful,
all the women who take their hats
off in church should be permitted
to sit with the men. This is the
most original suggestion that has
yet been made to solve the hat
question.
