other with affection and respect. One re-
Election only has crowded my mind, the
difference between this and that of thir-

meet after all these years with but one
sentiment that OF loyalty to the govern
ment and love for our flag, and deter

American Union. am glad OF that meet
ing between Grant and Lee at Appomat-

WASHINGTON. May 30.-Tt is probable
that the state department will accept the

Portuguese government, are very much
dissatisfied at the outcome % the arhi-

LIVES IN wIFE's TOMB.
Brooklyn Man who Had Resided
with Corpse for the Last
Five Years.

In Evergreen cemetery in Brooklyn
Jonathan Reed has lived for five,years
in the tomb where the body of his dead
wife lies in a last sleep. Never for one
day since his wife died in 1895 has he
left the body alone, and when his time
shall come there is receptacle for his
dead body close to that of his wife's,
whom he loved so long and so well.
says the Chicago Tribune.
Five years ago Reed looked on while
the light went out of his wife's eyes.
She was conscious to the last. AS she
lay with her dying eyes fixed on him he
was moved to a solemn promise that so
long as he lived he would keep watch
over her form.
Her answer was a faint, peaceful
SMILE" said the husband, land You
will see that l have kept my promise"
To do so, Mr.. Reed, who was n well 10
do drayman in the northern part of the
state, sold his business. lie had tomb
built of red granite end made comfort
able for habitation of both the living
and the dead. He gathered all his
wife's trinEets together, and with them
has adorned the walls of the strange
home. Over the coffin of the dead wom-
an he has draped pail of bright col
ors, and when he wishes to look on the
face of his dead he has only to pull
it aside to see the features which are
so slightly changed in all these years.
He has no morbid fancies. He feels the
companionship that he lost when she
died, and for that reason he stays in
the house of death. He holds that the
only vital difference between himself
and his wife is that he has the power
of world communication. When that
is gone he and she will be the same.

The various atbainments of that
promising little star, Irene Myers, who
appears at the Auditorium all next
week, have been the subject of much
eulogistic criticism and judging
from the fattering praises sounded by
tee critics of other cities in which she
has appeared, she is amply capable of
sustaining the title which she has as
sumed. She can sing plaintive bal
lad calling for tears, she can sing
dlrkey song better than the oldest
minstrel, and can depict the artful
farce or portray the strongest emo
tlonal character in manner that
would do credit to one of mature
years. She will be seen in a selection
Of the following dramas during the en-
Eagement: The Ensign, Little Lord
Fauntelroy, Maid of the Mill, The
S.owaway, Two Orphans, Little Mag
net, Ten Nights in Bar Room, The
White Rat and The Beggar and
Prince Every play is superbly staged,
beautifully and appropriately costum-
ed, and presented on a continuous
plan, high class specialtles being Civ
en- between the ACTS. The Ensign will
be given Monday evening, with Little
Irene as Dot Seats, on sale at Beagle
& Lytle's drug store.

A TELEGRAPH LINE.
In Chill That Was Preserved from
MOlestation of Indians by
Clever Trick

When the electric telegraph was
first introduced into Chill stratagem
was resorted to in order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on
the part of the natives and to main
tain the connection between the
strongholds on the frontier. There
were at the time between 40 and so
captive Indians in the Chilian camp
Gen. Pinto-in command of the opera
tions-called them together, and,
pointing to the telegraph wires, said:
"Do you see those wires?"
eyes, general"
II want you to remember not to go
near or touch them, for if you do
your hands will be held, and you will
be unable to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wire at
both ends of an electric battery in
full operation, after which he. eX-
claimed:
81 command you to let go the wire!''
81 can't; my hands are benumbed!"
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped, Not
long after the general restored them
to liberty, giving them strict instruc-
tions to keep the secret. This had
the desired effect, for, as might be ex-
pected, the experience was related in
the strictest confidence TO every man
in the tribe, and the telegraph has
ever since remained unmolested.
