court, New York City, on the com.
plant Of his wife, formerly Mrs. Rob

that she was 56 years old. Mrs. NOEL
roy said that her husband did not sup

They met in the spring Of 1900, and
by August they concluded to marry.
EGch wanted to stand high in the oth.
er's estimation, and they exchanged
stories about their great wealth. At
ter marriage they went to sone high

other was going to settle the bills. FL
,nally came the awful truth. Mr.. Mo.
Elroy had a $1,000 equity in the build
ing at 81 Washington Square South
and MrE. MoE!ro7 had her social an-
bitlons, her clothes and some switches.
They went to live at Mr.. McElroy's
house, but the bride could not sleep in

sired. He had room for himself more
comfortably furnished, and the rest Of
the building was rented. One day Mr..
McEiroy wanted to sell his house, and
tbas day was Mrs. McEIroy's golden
opportunity. She mad, him. give her

''Judge, he told me be had s2,000,-
000," put in Mrs. McElroy. Told
me thss to induce me to marry him.
He said that he must hide his property
SO that his wicked fifty year old son in
England wouldn't rob him"
Judge, sle took my dead vife'g dia-
monds," said Mr.. MoEiros, ''apd my
table linsn, took everything out Of my
house."
mo, I didn't, Judge. Did you ever
hear such manufacturer of stories?
Re only hsd one tablesprsad. And
those diancndsshe gave to A actress.
He was engaged to the actress and he
gave her diamonds and presents and
money, and just before the actress vas
to marry him her husband, whom she
had thought was dead, turned up, and
then she oou!dn's marry him. She
vouldn's give back those presents, 81.

Swallowed his Teeth.

Maurice 4. Brooks, the nineteen
year-old aoR of James A. Brooks, Of
Baltimore, Nd, while asleep early one
morning, swallowed q plate with false
teeth attached. he vas dreaming that
the plate had become detached and had
slipped down his throat and awoke to
fnd his dream reality. He aroused
his father, who hurried him to 8 physi-
clan living near by, butafter an exsmi-
nation the youth was told that he had
not swallowed his teeth. a thorough
nearch was made st his home, but the
missing plate could not be found. As
the choking sensation continued and
the boy was unable to eat the father
took him to the Hopkins Hospital, at
which DR.. Finney made an examination
and found that the teeth had lodged
near the top Of the breast bone. Every
effort to remove them through the
mouth failed and an operation was
necessary. An incision was made in
the throat about the top Of the breast
bone. The plate could then be plainly:
seen, but was too deeply imbedded to
be removed. The incision was then
seEed and the stomach opened. a rub.
Der tube was then passed in the ssom-
aoh and up ths food tract past the
plate snd>oat Of the mouth. a cord,
with : sponge at one end, was then at
taohed to the protruding end Of the
tuba, and the latter Was pulled. The
oord and sponge followed it, and the
sponge catching against the plate,
pulled it doEn the assphsgus, and thus
il.o the stomach, from Whieh it was re-
moved. The operation is 3 rare one,
but young Brooks is expected to re-
cover. He is enployedsas the Balti-
more xnd Ohio Central building.

NO SECTIONALIST.
Tho President G!vas Extremists
-. a Plain Rabuks.
NO BAR TO soUTHERNERs
They Will Have Exactly the Same
Treatrnant from Him as
any Other American
Gitiz snS.

President Theodore Roosevelt,
through Private" j. N. Dal7eN Of
Ohio, has outlined his position in re.
gard to the South in unmistakhbly plain
terms.
On September 81 the Louis Bell
Post, Grand Army Of the Republic, Of
Manchester, N. f., held a memorial
gervice for President Mckinley. At
thst service Capt. Frank q. Challia,
past national commander Of the Sons Of
Veterans, referred to . letter w1itten
by President Roosevelt to Southern
friend il Whioh he spoke Of the fast
that two Of his uncles had served in the
Confederate navy,and made other re.
ferences to his reasons FOR entertain
ing the best of feeling for the South.
Several other members Of the post made
similar references, the conoeRsus OF
opinion bsing in the nature Of critic
ism Of. President Roose7elt's <senti.
ments.
Private Dalzell, learning Of the assi-
tude Of the Manchester post, addressed
letter to them, in which he pointed
out the fact that President Roosevelt
was as much the President Of the South
as Of the North; that the war was over
nesrly forty years ago, and that the
majority Of the great men.of the coun-
try had been engaged in reconciing the
fdiEorenoss between the North and the
South ever since Appomattoz, when
Grant said, LET us have peace"
Mr.. Dsizsl wrote that the sentiments
expressed we're premature, and sug-
gested that the post WsiS jor some set
Of President Roosevelt indicative of
undue isYorisisn toward the South be-
fore taking action condemning him.
He closed By noting that the President
himself vas soldier whose bravery
was unqusssioned and whe had served
bis country and asg IS we'll a. any
members Of the Manchester post.
Mr.. Dsizsll sent 8 copy Of this letter
TO the President, and was invited to
call at the White House.
The President gave him to undec-
stard that he intended to pursue the
same course toward the South as that
Of MIR. Mckinley. He intimased that
he regarded himself as the President Of
the South AS much as Of the North, and
that in making appointments to eSioe
or otherwise recognizing tho claims Of
American citizens, no consideration
would be paid to the section OF the
country from which they came. He
fully recognized the claims Of the sol
diers Of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie and proposed tosse> that they we're
properly esZed fos in the administrs-
tion Of penaions and in the dissribu-
tion Of patronage. But, without refer.
eres to the issues Of the civil, war, and
without taking any position as to the
propriety Of the course Of either the
Soath or the North, Mr.. Roosevelt let
it be plainly understood chat he was nos;
sectional" President in any senss OF
the word, and that the fact that Q man
was from the South would not operate
against him any more than the fact
that he was from the North would be
considered as in his favor.
