She was only girl then, and had not reached the heightened success which later became hers by all right apparent The marquis was a jolly, good-natured man, who was desperately in love with his beau- tiful young wife, and who obligingly died few years after the marriage, much to the relief of the diva, as she was fast be- coming tired of the garrulous old indvd- ual, whom she, according to the sacred rites of the church, was obliged to love, honor and obey.
 In the requirement, however, of Sgnor Ernest Nicolini, Madame Patti discovered that she had jumped from the frying pan into the fire for her new lord and master was a man given to a superabundance of forethought and shrewdness, which he i'm mediately exercised in the accumulation of numerous golden nuggets through the me dum of his wife's wonderful vocal powers.
 According to all current rumors concern ing Baron Csderstrom, it is generally un- destrood that he is not greatly given to looking after the interests of other people, as he has not had the ambition to even foster the wealth which came to him through titled inheritance In social cir ces however, he is all that could be de- sired. He has the happy aptitude of mak- ing himself particularly agreeable and pleasant in the company of women, and for the past few years he has been one of the most eligible men represented in the Swedish nobility.

In acknowledging the re- ceipt of the picture he wrote a long and very cordial letter-whch Is a tip to other pretty girls who have charming photo graphs.
 Another conspicuous ornament of his cabin is a painting of the battle of Manila bay. It was made by Chinese artist in Hong Kong, after drawing which appear ed in Harper's Weekly, and was presented to the admiral by the junior officers of the Olympia. The artist is now working night and day making more reproductions, as two or three dozen orders have been sent to him by officers 9f the feet A. miral Deweys shoemaker in Washington sent him fine pair of white shoes, with the modest request that the admiral give him the pair worn during the battle of May l. The exact identity of the shoes in question being uncertain, the admiral com promised by writing a letter of thanks. A steel watch, made from steel taken from the Maine, is one interesting souvenir.

 Unlike Signor Ernest Nicolini who took his departure from Europe for the place where it is hoped angels sing, and where milk and honey flow by the bucketsful- the perspective groom of the famous sing CT is non est as far as personal ambition and individual success are concerned.
 To Nicolini Madame Patti of the silvery voice and golden-lined pocketbook can well cast passing glance backward, for 1t is to him that the great prima donna owes all, or nearly all, of ths fabulous wealth which is now hers.
 Again to Nicolini must Adelina Patti pay tribute. As her husband he was her keeper, her manager, her thinking cap and her slave. On him fell all the responslbll- ity and burden attending her tour through out the world, and by his judcious man. agement the great sonsstress was enabled to carry her tour of triumph throughout two continents for two generations.
 Like all great personages of stage land Adelina Patti, although advanced in years, has followed the footsteps of her prede- cessors and untold successors in playing for degree of questionable notoriety in superfuous matrimonial ventures. She claims however, to have given up all idea of ever again singing in public, and yet the fair diva, now in the ffty-eighth year of her age, has announced her intention of

DEwEY's CURIOSITY SHOP.
His Cabin in Manila is Filled With Gifts
 from His Admirers.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
 Manila-Admiral Dewey's cabin is begin- ming to look like museum or curiosity shop. Every mail brings bulky packages and little souvenirs from his enthusiastic admirers at home, and two typewriter op- orators are kept busy acknowledging the receipt of presents. There are hats, caps, canes, medallions. handkerehiefs, paper weights, cigar holders, flags, newspaper clippings ard albums and nearly everything else that will go by mail. A beautifully bound and llumnated album came some time ago from prominent club in Milwau- Kee and is treasured as ohe of the star feat ures of the admiral's collection. Each page is decorated with an appropriate painting, the subjects bearing on something asso-' ciated with the admiral or the battle of Manila. On the last page is picture of the Olympia jackies hoisting, or ''breaking out" at the main truck of the flagship the two-starred fag of the rear admiral. The

From across the seas comes the an- nouncement that Adelina Patti, prima don- ma, star all important and acknowledged Queen of Song, is about to enter the mat rimonial sphere for the htird time in her eventful history. Dame Rumor, ably sec seconded by the effervescent Mrs. Grundy, has decided that Madame Patti shall be- come a baroness, and has selected for the suspicious event Baron Cederstrom, Swedish nobleman of high social position and enormous wealth.
 Adelina Patti has this time selected a man whose tastes turn to music, and if current rumor be true he belongs to that class of ethical '1a-la-la's" whose princi- pal industry in life lies In wearing huge chrysanthemum and looking pretty while

The Loves of a Song Bird. The Romance by Which Madame Patti Now Becomes

Baroness

marrying a decidedly handsome chap who is nearly a quarter of a century more youthful.
 From her latest photographs the passe Queen of Song is pictured as a fair, plump, handsome woman of perhaps thirty years of age, buts then she has wealth, reputa- ton and unquestionable social prominence, and why should not the foppish young Baron of Cederstrom take advantage of the golden opportunity presented so all luringly to him?
 At great social function held in London two weeks ago, and where Madame Patti was a guest of honor, she freely discussed her approaching marriage, and appeared to be as freshly delighted at entering upon her third matrimonial venture as if it were her first and she was only twenty.
 Marquis de Camp Caux was the first as- pirant to successfully win Adelina Patti

Some of the most beautiful things he has are presents from Aguinaldo. The dic- tator has the greatest admiration and re- spect for Dewey, and has the singular habit of making elaborate gift to the admiral whenever the latter "calls him down." That accounts largely for the number of Aguinaldo's presents that adsrn the cabin. In all the dealings Admiral Dewey has had with Aguinaldo he has al- ways treated him with the greatest courte- sy when courtesy was called for, and the greatest severity when firmness was the thing; but in spite of the rebuffs Aguinal- dos notes accompanying the presents in- variably refer to the admiral as "my hon. orable and illustrious friend"
The age-herald., 1899-01-08

To associate the name of Baron Ceder- strom with that of Madame Patti is almost incomprehensible as the fair diva has only been a widow less than a twelve month, and Mrs. Grundy, in her official capacity of general gossip monger, has declared time and time again that the queen of prima donnas would spend the remainder of her days in a state of single blessedness with in the stately portals of Craigy-nos, con- tent to rest in self-adulating retrospec- tion.
 A Mrs. Rowland a prominent society wo- man of London, who is frequent visitor at Craig-y-nos, has said recently that Mime. Patti Nicolini told her last summer that she intended to marry again, but Mrs. Rowland does not believe that the event will actually be celebrated so soon after Nicolini's death as the London dis patch intimates.

 How interesting! Yes, it was the first time she had ever been on warship.

 "And that deck over yonder!' she ex- claimed, indicating the forecastle with a pretty gesture "Is that the 5-cent deck or the 10-cent deck?"

the head of the English branch of the family, had already been refused by the great prima donna, report says. Mrs. Rowland added that Mme Patti said she did not care for wealth, although the man to whom she is married will have to be wealthy. Then she would know that he was not marrying her for her money. Ti- tie was not essential either. 'If I marry the Prince of Waes,' she is quoted as say ing, 'I would still be Adelina Patti. That is my title-1 need no other"
 All this sounds charmingly fresh and de- lightful, but when one considers that with Mmc Pattis fifty-eight years of worldly experience there is tackled on a tri1e like two and a half million in American money, and that Baron Cederstrom, with his thr- ty-fivs years, has a fortune estimated at about $100 900, the consistency of the fair diva's utterances is not very apparent
 The wedding is scheduled to take place in February, just thirteen months after Nicolini's death, and it Is safe to say that were it possible that irascibe little Italian will turn over in his grave when he dis covers that a dandified member of nobility is covering himself with the glory which usually goes with a fair woman and a well-lined pocketbook.

The INTELLIGENcER has advocated
the policy Of holding the Philippines
nntil those people are able to govern
themselves. But we believe it is due
to the people Of u own country, as
well As due 10 the PHILIPPINES, that
our government declare its intention.
II we are out fer conquest, LET US say
so; il we intend to treat the PHILIPPINES
as we have decided to treat Cuba, iet
US say so, and encourage the people TO
become more peaceable. Our army
is compelled to fight while there is
disorder, and some Of the 'syellow
bellies" are SURF TO be killed. We 7
not going to have any spasms Of mock
sympathy over the killing Of Philippines
or anybody else who attacks our army,
but We think a line Of policy should be
declared. We must give those people
credit for being very ignorant. They
certainly would not want to fight Us ii
they felt assured that we we're the best

IN. Couuty Poor Farm.


Last December the county court
appointed Mr.. John W. Ganhart as
superintendent Of the poor farm for
another year. The old court being salts
aed that il was customary to make new
contracts in November, for the manage
ment Of the poor farm for the succeed
lug year, though the appointee would
not begin on his contract till the hnt Of
January. The contract specifies that
the superintendent can be removed on
ten days notice.
The new county court came upon the
bench January first. AT the February
sitting 1t notified Mr.. Garnhart that
there was a vacancy In his Office, and
the court entered an order that the con-
tract was annulled. II was generally
believed In this city three weeks ago
that Mr.. Kinkead was TO be appointed
TO OIL the vacancy.
Mr.. Garnhart claims that he was given
the ten days notice that his contract
would be annulled and set aside, but
that he hal never been notified that he
would 10 removed o Of any charges
against him, and no charges have been
aled. This being the CASE he could not
DO removed without cause. Mr.. VIM.
Aull has the care Of MI. Garnhart's
interests, and has appealed to the circuit

In the meantime there were three
applicants for the place, and on Tuesday
Mr.. Kinkead presented a petition with
300 names; Mr.. Geo. W. Marquis stepped
to the front with a petition containing
s75 signatures, and Mr.. John Martin
appeared without q petition. On
Wednesday afternoon the court ap-
pointed Mr.. Kinkead to the position,
Judges Osborn aud Temple voting for
him, while Judge Green voted for Mr..
Marquis
Mr.. Garnhart is at home, sick, and
could not appear before the court. We
suppose, now that Btr. Aull has appealed
to the circuit court, that Mr.. Garnhart
cannot be removed till that court decides
against him, and the case will neces-

Rev. S. T. Cadman, pastor Of the
Metropolitan Temple, read q carefully
prepared essay before 400 preachers Of
the Northern Methodist church, last
Monday, In New York City, in which
be asserted that ''the inherency and
I~uiAlIibility of the Bible are no longer
possible Of belief among reasoning
men, Mr.. Cadman pointed out
alleged discrepancies and asserted that
the time had come when people could
find truth only at the fountain head,
Christ. At the conclusion Of Mr.. Cad
mans paper, the 400 ministers present,
including Bishop Edward G. Andrews,
~applauded him, and entered into q
forceful discussion Of the proposition.
The paper was M Of . series, the first
Of which was based on practically the
same grounds and was read at last
weeks meeting. The utterances con-
tanned in these papers involve a radical
departure from the tenets Of the Metho-
dist church since It's foundation, and
were accepted by the most representa-
tive body Of the clergy Of the church
in America. 1t places the Bible on Q
plane with historical works and rejects
the authenticity Of all parts Of the
Scriptures that are not in accord with
modern human reason. Mr.. Cadmsn
said the authorship Of the greater part
Of the Old Testament was unknown.
The New Testament, likewise, con.
tanned many contradictions. The Bible,
the church, the ministry, he said, were
agencies. The true source Of insplra-
ton wa neither q book nor q church,
nor = ministry, but the living Christ
himself. BY the new instructions, the
truth OF such Bible stories as Jonah
and the whale, the fate Of Lots wife,
IEliiah's ascension, the age Of Methuselh,
Daniel IN the lions den and God speak
ing to Moses from the burning bush,
are questioned, thus undermining the
fundamental pillar OF Methodist theol.
