 MT. W. s. Witham of Georgia. we are told, is a gentleman who controls thirty three banks and cotton mills.
 Believing that business men ought to be married, MT. Witham a few days ago chartered special train, ftad it up with about twenty pretty Georgia girls, invited the same number of single men from his banks and mills to be his guests, and start ed with the outfit for New York.
 The avowed purpose of the excursion is to promote 1rtations which may lead to marriages among the young people who &C., company him." and as a special induce ment he offers to present check of $500 to "every man who succeeds in winning the hand of lady en route.''
 MT. Witham is evidently enjoying good times, and seems to be desirous that his employees shall share them with him; but Is he confident of the durability of mar riages made on such short notice? Does he pay his cashiers such salaries as to make a satisfactory alimony safe? Or would he be willing to add to the $500 check in encouragement of marriages another cer- tified check in guarantee of alimony?
 Mr. Witham is a business man ard should look further beyond his nose than a rail- road journey from Georgia to New York.

Adelina Patti's Triumph

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Mime. Adelina Patti celebrated her 57th birthday recently by giving a concert in London, which was attended by an i'm mense audience. Upon this occasion the English critics say she looked the picture of health and almost as young as ever, and was in her best voice. She sang the "Casta Diva,' ''Deh! Vieni." and "Il Bacio," and for encores to each the "Batu Batti," Paths "Pur Dicesti," and, of course, Home, Sweet Home," for it is always "sweet home' to Adeina Patti wherever she may happen to be. The great prima donna had most enthusiastic reception and was loaded down with laurel wreaths and baskets and bouquets of flowers. The spectacle of singer at the age of 57 mak- ing public appearance long after the time when other vocalists have retired from the stage to private life or settled down into the ruts of teaching is a rare one in the history of music. But Patti, thanks to temperate, sensible mode of living, to the perfect way in which her voice is placed and to the astonishing skillfulness of her consummate art, is one of those singers who defy time. She is still queen of the lyric stage and her subjects the world over will regret the time, if it ever comes, when she will abdicate.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING
ONE MIL LION GU R ED CASES
You Can be Cured Whether You Be-
 lieve in Christian Science or Not

Over a million cures of disease in every forsl are now to the credit of Christian Science Healing. Most of these were cases that the doctors had given up as 'incura- ble.' Many more were chronic maladies that had baffled their skill for years. All were cured quickly; some were cured in- stantly. The evidence on these facts is simply indisputable and the curing still goes on There can be no mistake or mis- statement about it. The headers and their work are in the public view. As a c. s. healer my many marvellous cures have startled the world. During the past 13 years I have healed diseases of almost every known kind and in every stage of severity. They included many surgical cases where operations were otherwise threatened. I cured cases that were far away from me, as we'll as those near at hand. And I tell you in like manner that wherever you may dwell, and wha atever be your bodily ail- ment, or whether one or many physicians have failed to give you relief, if you re- port the case to me and desire, you shall be cured. This is no vain or idle promise My past success fully justifes 1t. You can be cured whether you believe in Christian Science or not You can be cured whether in this city or thousands of miles away from me. In our Christian Science Healing distance is of no account; disbelief is not any hindrance; disappointments of the past only make stronger grounds for hope. All you really need is the wish to be healed.
 I have just published a little book in re- gard to this blessed truth called "A Mes- sage of Health and Healing" If you write to me will gSIdly send you a copy free, It gives many interesting facts and con- vincing testimonials.

HER LETTER WON VOTES
How an English Woman Secured Par
 lament for Her Husband at the Front

! Mrs. Emily Seely is the happiest woman in England because her husband Captain Jack Seely, now at the front, easily de- Heated G. billing for the Isle of Wight seat in the House of Commons at last weeks election, largely through her efforts Where Sir Richard Webster had majority of 461 in 1892 and 446 in 1895, Seeleys majority yesterday was 1,062 Cap tain Seely is a conservative, aged 32 the third son of Sir Charles Seely who for many years sat in Parliament for Noting ham.
 Captain Seely. who is an officer in the Hampshire troop of Imperial Yeomanry, doesn't care a rap just at present who IS member of Parliament from the Isle or Wight. His gentle, girlish wife, who Is left at home with the three babes, decided that the bravery he has shown in his coun- fry's cause should be properly rewarded, so she has secured his election to Parlia- ment.
 How did she do it? By writing a letter which captivated the co, ntry by its genu- ine and unaffected feeling. A more touch Ing and at the same time simpler letter was never issued in political campaign. After asking the electors to vote for her husband, Mrs. Seely said: ''I know how very much he would appreciate the honor of being selected by his friends and neigh bors as member for the Isle of Wight, and
  success" These words proved irresistible, and they were Autographed and circulated throughout the constituency.
 Mrs Seely had not clear field when she began her efforts. There was a big fight ahead. MT. Godfrey Barring, the Liberal candidate, was as stout an advocate of the Mar as any Unionist. The placards put out by his friends ran: "Vote for Barring and back up Bobs." After the fall of Mafeking this had tremendous effect. But Mdrs Seely put on her placards, Vote for Seely, who is backing up Bobs." Then she wrote the memorable letter, and as result She carried the county by more than double the majority that had elected the former member.
 Captain Seely was elected in his absence, which is a somewhat unusual occurrence dn the history of any member of Parlia- ment.
 Mrs. Seely is a niece of the Earl of Erne. Her father is Colonel the Honorable Hen Ty George Lewis Crichton of Netley castle, brigadier of the Portsmouth volunteer bri- Gade. It is interesting to note that while she defeated a Barring, her father took to himself as his second wife a few years ago the Lady Jane Emma Barring, daugh- ter oft he Earl of North brook Mrs, Seely was married on July g., 1895. She is in her thirtieth year. She is the mother of three beautiful children and is as devoted to them as she Is to Captain Seely.
 She is not the only woman who has se- nured for her husband political honors. X In many elections since the Duchess of Devonshire gave a kiss for vote for Charles James Fox, women have played conspicuous part.-London letter in the Bos- ton Post

Coch Tai remained stolid.

frown.
And without another word he turn

Monachlog through the snow.

man beside him. "That there was
more snow coming down or not?"
