The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-08-12

Mckinley will be reelected President OF
the United States.
James Howard. an aspiring lover, wag-
e-s bride on the election OF w. j.
Bryan.
On the face Of It this looks like very
cold-blooded transaction. AS matter OF
fact. it came about In a very ordinary
manner. Here is the way ii happened
according TO neighborhood gossip;
On a farm about twelve miles from
Santa Fe, in Haskell county. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. r. Johnson live In contented ana
happy home They have a daughter,
a pretty girl Of II years who Is the object
Of attentions from all the farmer boys
for many miles around. Her name Is
Mary johnson. Among her many suit
ors Is James Howard, a young man Of
most persistent qualities. OF the entire
list of Mary's suitors Howard is the least
liked by the parents. and at the same
time it Is he who finds the most favor
in the eyes OF the pretty girl He Is q
prepossesslng young man, with a fairly
good education, has fine prospects, and,
above ali. is an ardent lover. He is a
descendant from Southern family that
fought on the side OF the Confederacy,
and is consequently a reck-hibbed, dyed
in-the-wool Democrat. His disposition 70
ali attacks IS what got him into trouble
With the Johnson family.
johnson was formerly long-whiskered
Popuiist. So flrn in the Republican faith
is he that any man who talks Bryan lays
the foundation for a bitter argument.
Here IS where young Howard made his
first mistake. Like the parrot. he talk
ed to much. On Sunday, several months
ago, he drove over to the Johnson farm
to see his sweetheart and. after dinner,
he inadvertently introduced the subject
of politics. The remark was an uuimpor-
tant one, but It showed where Howard
stood politically. Johnson fared up In
ANY man." he exclaimed, after
watching the events of the last four
years, who can still be Democrat, con-
slider an enemy, If not traitor, TO his
country"
The remark touched Howard to the
quick and he resented 1t even from his
prospective father-in-law.
81 yield nothing to you, sir he retort-
ed, lin loyalty to my country" When
was emong the number who volunteered
to serve and would have done so had
been needed and called.
Perhaps you did. but past virtues do
not atone for present sins Benedl CT

WELL" replied Johnson.

Thus was the argument started and

ahead, assumed the role of peacema1er

and finally succeeded in taking her fan
ce off for walk. From that hour
however, the young man had lost caste
with Johnson. After Howard had driv-
en- away, the daughter was summoned
and forbidden ever to speak to him
again.
Mary was broken-hearted. She began
to droop. Her father noticed It, and af-
ter time his heart was softened some
what.
Let that darned Democrat come to see
you If he wants to-" he said to her one
day, but / don't want any sentimental
business. Don't get 1t into your head
that you are going to marry him, for you
amt"
This was a concession, anyhow How
ard resumed his visits to the Johnson
home, and the young people were happy
once more. The subject of politics was
carefully avoided, and to all outward ap-
pearances Howard was rapidly reinstall
Ing himself In the good graces OF his
prospective father-in-law. Once or twice
the conversation came dangerously near
the dead line, but Mary scented danger
and quickly turned the talk into other
channels. In spite of her watchful ef-
forts, however, the storm again burst
forth one Sunday afternoon and ragged
with increasing fury for twenty or
thirty minutes. 1t was the Sunday fol-
lowing the Kansas City nomination.

That settled the argument, and the
agreement was finally made

later in speaking of the incident "Hes

WELL DIGGER
Shocked Into Commissions by Going
From Heat to Cold.

FROM Heat to Cold.
New York World
Fifty commissions day is the record Of
Eugene e. Burns, of Red Bank N. J.,
whose system has been racked by them
to greater or less extent for over a
week. Doctors say the case is one Of the
most remarkable they have ever treated.
One day last week Burns went down
a well that was being dug on the Ran
dolph Parmley property, across the
Shrewsbury river from Red Bank He is
a digger by trade and went up and down
the well while the sun was very hot
Later in the day severe muscular pains
seized him, and he went home and took
to his bed.
Two days later he had series of hor-
rible commissions. They followed each
other in rapid succession only a few
minutes elapSing between them. At first
Burns had as many as so day. The
number has gradually grown less until
now he has only five or six. His condit; on
is still critical.
Several OF the local doctors have con-
suited on the case and attribute the con-
WILSON'S to a disturbance of the nerve
centers caused by sudden changes from
heat to cold, due to going down the cold
we'll from under the hot sun. The con
vulsions are of an extremely violent ma
ture, and it takes two or three men to
hold the sufferer. When he comes out
of them he imagines he has been asleep
The only pain he suffers is due to the

cIusiveIy by Them.
There IS sn - Asla1s1 OF the coast of
Norway called Aarlud. 1t Is rather a
dismal place, it's shores rising bleakly
from the sea. And all who dwell there
are widows.
Until recently there was a happy little
community OF soma ninety souis-Inen,
women and children. The men were fish
ermen and egg hunters; the women were
their wives; the children were the otf-
spring Of the thirty couples of grown
persons Recently a man arrived to
participate IN the spring egg gathering
While testing his ropes or cliff pre-
paratory to commencing his search, he
happened to make a false step and fell
over the cliff. He was instantly killed,
aud it was only with great difficulty that
his body was recovered.
AS there had not been a death on the
island since eleven years before, when
a boy was killed by bowlder from the
same cliff falling on him while he was
looking for shellfish on the beach below,
the occurrence naturally cast a gloom
over the small community established
there. AS a mark Of sympathy and re-
spect all the men determined TO attend
the funeral of the deceased, which was
to take place at the cemetery at Nauge-
sund, on the mainland.
The coffin containing the remains was

course. But during the proceedings at
the burial ground a tremendous gale
arose.
When the men returned to their smack
the storm was at its height, and they
were strongly urged to postpone the
journey home until the gale somewhat
abated. Their wives, however,, were
all alone en- the island, and they were
afraid that if they delayed their return
the women might become uneasy. There

rather heavily laden.
Their progress through the angry sea
was most anxi3usly watched by the pep

had gone the distance of about mile and
a half from the coast, saw that the YES
sci was in great distress. Efforts were
at once made to go TO It's assistance, but
the hungry sea beat back every boat that
was launched.

FIRST Anniversary,
The Y. NJ. c. A. Celebrates Removal to
Present Quarters.

A thanksgiving service, in celebration of
the first anniversary of the removal of the
y NJ c. A. into i.s present quarters, was
held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of
the association on G street
Mr.. S. w. Woodward. president of the
association, called the meeting to order at
o'clock and after the opening song SER
vice DR.. Charles L. Bliss sang zone
Sweetly Solemn Thought"
The addresses Of the afternoon were on
the subject of the relation of the associa-
ton to the worldwide movement 1.-The
Association in Unchristian Lands" was
spoken of by Dr. Merrill E. Gates, ex-presi-
dent of Amherst College Mr. Miles NJ
Shand, one of the delegates to the recent
T. NJ. Z. A. conference on missionary work
in New York city, spoke of the policies of
the association toward foreign work, and
urged participation in the missionary eff
forts on the part of the Washington asso-
citation.
Mr.. A. ]. Halford, chairman of the asso-
cations missionary committee, presented
the plans which have been made for the
missionary department, which include the
support of secretary in the foreign field,
the organization of missionary study
Grub, and the holding of missionary meet
ings at stated periods. At the conclusion Of
Mr.. Halfords address the question of the
support of the missionary secretary for 1900
was taken up, and it was decided to under
take the work. Subscriptions to a total
fund of $1,000, necessary for the purpose,
were rendered, over half the amount neces-
sary being pledged in a few minutes. The
association will notify the international
committee in New York of its action, and
as soon as possible a secre airy will be sent
to one of the places now in need of his
work
The Importance of the foreign work was
mentioned by several of the speakers, who
called attention to the fact that there are
now opportunities open to the Y NJ. c. A.
In all the university centers in india China,
Japan, and other non-Christian lands. The
missionaries of all denominations have
united in requesting the establishment of
associations, and under these conditions the
International committee in New York has
felt it necessary to call upon the city as
sociations throughout the country to aid in
supplying the demand.

FRANK MAYO'S SPREE.
Drives Wife and Child Away and
Lands in Station.

Lahes III sutton.
Policeman Bean of the sixth precinct had
an exciting chase through Chew's alley
about o'clock yesterday morning in pur-
suit of a colored man named Frank Mayo,
who had put his wife and son out of the
house. Laura Mayo. the wife, and her lit
tie son. who is deaf mute, entered the
station and asked for assistance. The wo-
man was badly frightened, and the boy s
mouth was cut it IS alleged, by his father
striking him.
Although the two had been forced to
leave the house in a hurry, the boy stopped
long enough TO get his pets, a dog and a
goat. He feared # the dumb beasts were
left there they, too, might get what his
father had given him.
Mrs. Mayo was satisfied that her husband
had left the house, but fearing he was
watching for her she asked Policeman
Bean to accompany her to the house and
afford her protection while she got clothing
enough to protect her from the cold. The
woman went ahead, but the officer was not
alley her husband called to her, Come in
the house, Laura
Il won't come until you get SOBER the
wife told him.
Won't your" shouted the intoxicated
man. with oath. Come here, or III
fix YOU.
About the time Mayo started for his wife
the policeman went in pursuit of him, and
when he grabbed him a struggle ensued.
Mayo attempted to draw a razor from his
pocket, but the officer prevented him from
using it. When the police station was
reached the officer took the two razors
from Mayo in addition to a pair of brass
knuckes he had taken from his hand in
the alley.
Mayo pleaded guilty in the Police Court
today to a charge of concealed weapons,
second offense. He held for the action
of the grand jury. Bond was fixed at $500
in default of which Mayo was committed.
