The Philadelphia Record says, that
the Sampson Sobley controversy is off,
cially ended, and that S,hley WiRs. 1t
appears that the way the settlement
was brought about vas this, in brief:
Gen. Felix Aguus, owner Of the Balti-
more American, had an eight page sup
plement prepared for his newspaper
which dealt wholly with the feud. In
detail it exploited the causes Of the
animoslty of the naval clique against
Schley. 1t contained two sensational
exposures. One vas direct and dam
aging charge against Admiral Sampson,
and the other showed that in 1896
Schley had recommended the court
martial of CroRninshield for ineompe-
tency. Official papers and records
we're quoted in support Of every state
ment made. General Aguus printed
one copy of the supplement and sent it
to Washington, where Of course, it got
into the hands he intended it should.
The plates we're removed from the press
and locked up "for future use. !" The
powers at Washington we're Informed
that unless the attacks upon Sohley
were stopped and he was permitted to
take his proper rank in the navy, 1000
copies of the supplement would be
printed and disturbed. The admins
tration gave in, and Schley will get his
reward. Arrangements are nov being
made whereby he will rank next to
Dewey in the lists.

Enoch Arden in Real Life.

After an absence Of thirty years
James Edwards, whose home is now in
Denver, Col, returned to Philadelphia,
and found that his wife had been di-
vorced from him and married to an
other man. Thirty-fve years ago Ed
wards married Miss Belle Hickman
whose parents were wealthy. Edwards
was in poor circumstances and his
wife's mother opposed the marriage.
The couple lived together for FIVE
years, but at the end Of that time Mrs.
Hickman is alleged to have brought
about o separation. Edwards went
West and became wealthy.
Edwards says he repeatedly wrote to
his wife, but she failed to get the let
tiers. Not hearing from her husband
for fifteen years Mrs. Edwards adver-
tised and received letter from Den
yer informing her that a man answer
ing her husbands description had been
killed. Mrs. Edwards, not certain that
her husband was dead. obtained a d.
yorce and remarked.
Edwards succeeded in meeting his
former wife upon his return. There
were explanations all around and he
bade her farewell and went back to
Denver.
