The title OF the play OF Loves

William Tempelmeier and Christie

Ind. recently visited Westphalia, and
while there met Minnie Stein, aged 20
years, and Minnie Fiesgrabe, aged 16.
The young men fell in love and paid
most devoted attention to the young
ladies. telling them OF life In the great
United States. The girls concluded that
they would come to this country. and,
with the consent of their parents, each
purchased a ticket for Indianapolis,
and, with about $35 in money, they
started. All the way over the suitors
pressed their claims with all ardor,
but the girls declared that the nearer
they came to America the greater their
desire became to be free and I'M

made known to the two lovers, who,
as soon as landed in Baltimore on Sat-

The licenses were issued on Monday.

was to take place at the emigrant pier.
On the return Of the would-be grooms-

to Mr.. Lou Robinson. deputy commits

men that In this country when a wo-

tear does a Boer woman shed when
she sends a son away from her to fight
for his country. Not a tear does she
shed when he falls in battle. Fighting
to them Is a business, a duty-any-
thing but a matter OF sentiment. My
opinion is that when there are no
more Boer men left on the field the
Boer women will take their places and
give desperate battle to the English
foe. whom they hate with all their
hearts. These Africander women are
better soldiers than most men. Life in
the Transvaal for Boer women is very
pleasant. In johannesburg I saw

In the Court Of Chancery at Jersey

remarkable feast is absolutely unique.
In 1884 a Robert Bell, then master Of

India company a Persian carpet at a
cost of fl50. For this carpet the East
India company now represented by the

however, to appear dishonorable, they
suggested that they should entertain

which should wipe OFF the score. The
council agreed, and the Girdlers, as a

The Natives of Boho|

The Rev. DR.. ]. H. Cissel. of Craw-
louisville, Ind, has received an inter-
esting letter from his son. First Ser
geant e. w. Cissell, of Company G,
Forty-fourth infantry. Sergeant Cis-
sell served through the Cuban cam
paign. and then enlisting with the
f~orty-fourth went to the Philippines.
He Is now at Baclayon, Bohol, and
writes that Bohol Is radically different
from the other islands he has visited.
The natives were frightened half to
death when the United States soldiers
came, as they had for ages suffered
terrible indignities from the Spanish
people, but in less than a month they
were thoroughly treasured. So in
tensely do they hate the Spaniards,
however, that the better educated peo-
pie, who understand the Spanish Ian.
guage, refuse to make use of it. The
population of Bohol is devotedly Ro-
man Catholic, but Sergeant Cissell
writes that the religion there is much
more given to form, and is much more
exacting than in this country. The
cathedral at Baclayon is a magnificent
building, with a chime of sixteen bells.
Little clothing is worn, except on
Sunday" writes Mr.. Cissell. ION that
day, however. the men wear suits of
spotless white, and the women attire
themselves in most fetching costumes.
They wear a black skirt with a long
trail. a cream colored waist of some
light material, made in evening dress
fashion, and then complete the toilette
with a head dress that is stunning.
This is a sort of sun-bonnet, made of
very thin white material. At the point
where it touches the head 1t is rein
forced by ply, which Is stiffened with
starch, and instead Of having strings
and being drawn in the back, it is al
lowed to flow freely over the shoulders

throne Of Austria will sacrifice the sue
cession of his children to the crown
is n Of the most beautiful and fas-
cinating of the women of the Aus
trian nobility. She Is in every way
but one worthy to be the wife of a
prince. And that is no fault of hers,
for she could not help having been
born outside the sacred sphere of roy
atty. The countess Is thirty-one years
old. She is very popular in. Bohemia,
where her father is the owner Of large
estates, and In Vienna. Franz Ferdi-
nand. Archduke OF Austria, her hus-

Karl Ludwig. Archduke Franz visit

This has been especially seen in his
late secret marriage to the Countess,
against the express prohibition OF the
emperor. Franz is ~thirty-seven years

OLD WARLiKE STICKS.

Grotesque STAINS That Were Formerly
Carried In England.
In former times in England walk
ing sticks commonly carried by
both male and female heads of fam
lilies. Queen Elizabeth carried one of
these toward the end Of her life.
Sticks were then used chiefly as en-
blems Of authority. The monstrous
sticks shown in the engraving are
drawn from specimens which have
been preserved by dealers in London.
These a century ago were comrsson
and might have been seen by the thou
sand, borne by tall footmen behind
ladies dressed in old hoped dresses,
the fashion of those days. At that
time, also, there was a taste for vari-
u kinds of monsters, in china, wood
and other materials. Monkeys and pet
dogs were made pets Of and the sticks
Of the footmen were fashioned into
grotesque forms. These sticks were
about six feet high and were in parts
painted and gilt. DR.. Johnson, Oliver
Goldsmith and a host of other literary
lights and celebrities considered a
good stick as necessary as a coat.

Every British soldier has served u
to him when he enlists a little volume
containing, among other things, three
blank forms ready for will-making.
Usually a soldier pays no attention to
this pocketbook and goes into battle
with his will unmade. After he has
been hit by a bullet and begins to
realize that his chances OF getting
home are small, a soldier begins to
think more carefully of the loved ones
left behind him. AS a result MANY
queer and pathetic wills have been
