LIKED THE PICTURE.
But tho Chicago Girl Didn't Care for
the Lieutenant.
Recent War Drinxs Gut the Hcsouree-
fuineSs OF a 'RousRnttc NounE
Woman Who HAD Two strong
Strings 20 Ter How.

The presence OF a your, cavalry Of
ficer in Chicago last week ard has sub
sequent cvolutious in the sssN..s q. the
city have furnished the dCns Oe:.tnt of
"bob-tailed" romance OF the Spanish
war.
The young man. who begged Chi
cago Tribune reporter TO refer 10 linn
merely as Jackson. registered at a
downtown hotel and then struck into
double quick for the clubs OF his
friends. After the customary shuttle
of Introductory sentiments the lieuten-
ant burst out:
"SaST, fellows, want you TO get me
into Chicago society"
There isn't any in the summer" re-
piled one of the group. Besides, we
couldn't, anyway; we have our reputa-
lions to look after, and we don't know
what you and Hobson have been doing
out there in the Philippines"
This and similar gibes were evidence
of the fact that only full confession
would suffice, and one by one the men
were taken aside and allowed to view
the photograph of beautiful young
woman The warrior swore by the
blood Of hundred victories that he
would find the original of that picture.
In the event Of failure he expressed 4
desire 10 be eaten alive by the Filipipos
None of the men recognized the
| young woman. They introduced him
to scores of other society men and WON
en-, but they all stared blankly at the
photograph and shook their heads In
final desperation Lieut. Jackson pro
duccd the following document in evi
dence:
Chicago. Ill, April II. 1seS.-My Dear
| Lieutenant; have just seen your likeness
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1899-09-02

in an April magazine ana take the liberty
OF writing to you 10 ask q favor am get
ting old; am nearly 81. and begin 10 fear
that shall never be married. Now. all the
spinsters ever knew have given as the
reason of their single state the plea that
their lovers went away to the war and
never came back. i believe that the pres
emit war again offers the same opportunity
70 every young woman.
And this IL the favor. In the event OF
your death In the war viii you give me
permission TO say that we were engaged 20
be married7 ! inclose my photograph and
General delivery, Chicago Post once.
The return mail carried an afflrma-
tive reply from the young officer, to-
gether with his photograph. Though
he begged her 10 write to him he never
received any further communication.
He served through the war in Cuba
without wounds or sickness and was
then transferred to the Philippines,
where the climate undermined his
health. Two weeks ago he landed In
San Francisco on sick leave and came
| Immediately to Chicago on his wiIl-o'-
the-wisp mission.
After days of continued search the
young woman was identified as prom
inent member of north side society,
and a mutual friend volunteered to call
with the officer on the following even
ing.
At the sight of the bronzed face end
sound of the name the girl was startled
out of her self-possession, but rallied
during the pleasantries sufficiently tc
continue conversation.
"Lieut. Jackson has called" said the
friend, maIciously, Ito assure you Of
his best wishes"
20, how nice of you, lieutenant" sh'
exclaimed with visible relief. "AnC
can't you stay for the wedding, too
1t will be. next week"
, The officer looked mystified. "Yol
don't mean to say you're engaged" h
gasped.
''Why, yes; didn't you know it?" sh
replied. with a scowl at the mutua
! friend.
, but I-you-why, your letter"
20. yes, know, lieutenant. But W
were to be engaged only in case 70
, died." was the consoling response.

An example of the dangerous nature
of the practice of throwing rice at we'd
dings occurred at Charing, near Ash
ford. in Kent, Immediately after the
marriage OF Canon Carter, of Canter-
bury cathedral, and Miss Sayer, eff Prett
place. Just as the couple were leaving
the brides house for their honeymoon
q shower Of rice struck the horses, some
of 1t entering the ears. This caused
them to bolt, with the result that the
carriage was overturned. Both Of its
occupants were severely shaken and
bruised and the shock sustained by the
lady was such that the honeymoon trip
had to be temporarily. a bandoned.

WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED
One of the Lake City Lynchers
Turns States Evidence.
THE CHIEF CONSP|RATOR
He Was a Man Named Stokes-It Was
Agreed to Set Fire. to the Post
office and Kill Baker When
He Appeared.

Charleston, N. c., April 1.-Two OF
nesses testified in the Lake City lynch-l
ing case in the United States circuit
court here to-day. They were j. P.
NeWham, one of the men who turned
states evidence, and NJ w. Spring, a
bicycle repairer. who swears that one
of the defendants asked him to join
the mob that killed Postmaster Baker.
Newham is a white man of ordinary
intelligence, but says he cannot read
and write. He used to live in Lake.
City, but since he turned states evil
dence he had been provided for in
Washington. On the stand to-day he
swore that he met Stokes, Webster,
Alonzo, Rodgers, Epps, defendants, and
others at Stokes store. Stokes planned
the lynching, proposing to set fire to
the postoftice and kill Baker when he
came out 1t was agreed to do this
Monday night. At the time the men
named with Mcknight, Ward and 9TH
ers, went to the place. He and EARLY
set fire to the place while the others hid
in the bushes and fired into the place.
Newham was rigidly cross-examined,
but stuck to his original story.
Spring said Stokes tried to get him
to kill Baker. but he refused to do so.
Spring was being cross-examined when
court adjourned on account of the I'LL
ness of Juror Murphy. The case made
out by the government to-day was a.
strong one. There are nearly tO0 morel
witnesses to be examined, but New
hams story of the crime is the center
around which the others will revolve. +

SUDDENLY FIRED UPON.
The Americans and Britishers Fought
Like the Heroes They Are.

Auckland. N. T., April IL, 9 a. m-
Further advices from Apia. Samoa. say
that on the arrival of the British cruis-
er Taranga at Apia the British and
American consuls issued proclamation
to give Mataafa a last chance, and
that French priests also used their in
f1uence, but all efforts failed, and the
rebels continued their depreda TONS
Property was destroyed and bridges
and roads We're barricaded.
On March 30 the enemy was sighted
at Maguigi, and machine guns and a
seven-pounder were used. The friend
lies also attacked the enemy during the
latter's retreat and several rebels We're
killed or wounded. The friendlies car
ried one head through Apa, which
made Captain Stuart SO furious that
he went to the king and threatened to
shoot any man found taking heads
The king then issued a proclamation
forbidding the practice.
The German consul wrote to Admiral
Kautz asking if two great Christian
nations approved of this inhuman and
barbarous practice against the laws of
Christianity and the decree of the su-
preme court. The admiral replied
agreeing with the consul as to the in
humanity of the practice, and pointed
out that had the German consul up
held the decree of the supreme court
of January there would have been no
bloodShc /: that the custom was an old
Samoan one. but first made known to
the world 10 years ago, when heads of
honest German sailors were cut off by
the barbarous chief Mataafa, whom
the representative of the great Christ
ian nation, Germany. is now support
ing.
