Seesholtzes were about 30. Mrs.
Pickles was the controlling spirit, ac-
cording to all accounts. She had a
way with her. When she was
thwarted she had a habit of going
into Mysteries and then falling into
trance. Usually she had her way.
Both couples went through the
form of sending outside for divorces.
Pickles sent TO Montana and See
sholtz to Pennsylvania. When they
papers came in, as it is asserted they
did without long delay, both couples
were remarked.
The former Mrs. Seesholtz waited
two months after the last wedding
before she was united 10 Pickels.
Then they, too, were married. The
four, so they admit, lived very hap
PLY together in a Klondike cabin and
there were no hard feelings.
The only complications have arisen
since the four have returned fairly
prosperous 20 the localities where
they were known before the swap.
Many of their friends had not heard
about it and their surprise when
Mrs. Pickles formerly Mrs. Seesholtz)
introduced Mrs. SeeshOltz formerly
Mrs. Pickels) to them as "My dear
friend, Mrs. Seesholtz," explaining at
the same time that her own name
was now Pickels, is better imagined
than described. Some of them did
not hesitate to express their opin-
ions very freely.
But neither the Pickelses nor the
SeeshoItzes seemed to mind. They
made arrangements to go into busi-
ness together and were about to
rent a store for that purpose when
the restlessness of the gold hunter
again came upon Mr.. Pickles and a
week ago he returned to the Klon-
dixie. Mrs. Pickels went back to Ia
coma, where she is working in a
tailor shop and awaiting her hus-
bands return. Mr.. and Mrs. Seesholtz
are in the tailoring business in San
Francisco. Al present there is no
sign of either couple again resorting
to the divorce court to free them
selves from marital ties.

HI. Hair FniIed to snront

A bald Hungarian was induced to
try a couple of bottles of hair-re.

Der, a Cincinnati artist. After fin
ishing his second bottle he informed
the barber that il was useless. The
barber persuaded him to try a third

the bald man, 'but, 70 please you,
I'll drink another bottle. Remem.

TWO MEAN OLD THINGS.
Down on the Town Harber and
the New Minister.

There is a new minister in a suburb
an town and he is charming" All the
girls agree TO that. When he first
came, however, there was one objec-
ton made-he wore his hair too long.
The matter was discussed at the sew
ing society, says the Chicago Daily
News, and a committee of one was ap-
pointed to attend to it. Thus it hap
pened that a pretty girl visited the
town barber and said: "Please get
The Washington bee., 1901-06-22

hold of the new minister and cut his
hair"
So the town barber visited the min
ister and said: Let me cut your hair,
sir. A pretty girl says it is too long.
She asked me to speak to you aboutit."
The minister reluctantly consented
and his hair was accordingly shortened
by two inches.
Then said the minister to the bar
Der: Just charge this to the pretty
girl"
Then said the barber TO the pretty
girl: "I have 25 cents charged against
Won for the new minister's hair cut"
Now the pretty girl says they are
both mean old things and she won't
pay. .----J

HAS A CLOSE GALL.
Disastrous Fire on Spindle Top Mar.
ROW. Averted.

Beaumont, Tex.-For thirty min.
rtes Friday afternoon it looked as il
Spindle Top, with its enormous de.
posits of oil, would go up in smoke
Fire was raging within twenty feet
of gusher which had not been
closed two minutes.
An exhibition was being given for
the edification Of a party of New
York newspaper men.
The Oteri syndicate we'll, George
town-Waco. Trenton Rock and Hey
wood No. 2, were all gushing at the
same time for the purpose of securing
o photograph of the field.
All the fires were put out, but in
some manner one of the boilers, about
sixty feet from the Waco
and Haywood No. 2, was not clear Of
fire. The stream of oil from George
town-Waco was playing over the boil
er. The wells had not been closed
down but few seconds when the oil
caught fire, and il looked as if every
thing on the hill would go up.
A Chinese restaurant caught fire
and from there the flames started to
climb derrick adjoining the gusher.
Most of the visitors ran for their
lives, but the drillers fought like
madmen. and by the use of the water
pumps and spades succeeded in con-
fning the flames to the restaurant and
small pools Of oil Surrounding it. The
embankments hastily thrown up pre-
vented the flames from spreading and
a continuous stream Oh water on the
derricks prevented them from burn

into a rapid gallop. The animal be-
ing beyond control, the woman be-
came alarmed and jumped from the
buggy, striking heavily on her head.
So violent was the fall that the neck
was broken and death ensued almost
instantaneously. There were also ter
rible bruises about the head, which in
themselves would have produced seri-
Gus If not fatal results.
1t is stated that the woman was
driving and had turned aside near
Walters place to water the horse.
After the animal had finished drink
ing he stood q moment, and the
driver. whether by accident or de-
sign; touched his TANKS with whip.
This startled him, and taking the bit
between his teeth he started at mad
gallop, as stated Her companion en-
deavored to calm the agitated and
frightened woman, but suddenly and
with scream she sprang from the
vehicle with the tragic result stated.
Deceased was q native Of Louis
Vile, KY. her family name being

mainder of the afternoon was taken
mp with the testimony of three ply

the other performed the autopsy. The
latter, DR.. Harvey r. Gaylord, was
the first Of the trio to be called. he
described the location and the wounds
in the stomach and the direction OF
the bullet. The cause Of death was
attributed to the gun shot wound,
but fundamentally, he said. it was
due to the changes back OF the

of the pancreas as result Of the pas
sage of the bullet.
DR.. Herman Mynter followed ana
his testimony was Of Importance in
as it brought out the fact
that the reason why the fatal bullet
had not been located at the autopsy
was because of the unwiliingness OF
the presidents relatives to have the
body further mutilated by their in
Etruments. DR.. Mynter and DR..
Mann, who followed him, both testi-
fed that the primary cause of death
was the gunshot wound in the
stomach.

DEMOCRATS NOT A UNIT.
Experienced Democratic Campaigners
Preparing for q Fight.

Preparing for Fight.
Birmingham, Ala-The campaign
in connection with the ratification or
rejection of Alabama's new constitu-
tion is now on and will be in full
blast by the middle Of the week. 1t
promised to be q much more ami
mated contest than had been gener-
ally expected. Up to a short time ago
the belief obtained that the principal
active opposition to the ratification
would be among the Republicans and
Populists and that those Democrats
who are against the new organic law
would either simply vote against it
or not vote at all 1t was scarcely ex-
pectod that the latter would organize
and prosecute q fight on the new in
strument for the reason that consti-
tutional reform has been generally
regarded a Democratic measure aud
the work Of the constitutional con-
vention in a very large sense the
work of the Democratic party. 1t
turns out, however, that the most ac-
tive opposition that is to be brought
to bear against ratification will come
from that faction of the Democratic
party which is led by former Cover
nor Joseph F. johnson, General
Charles Al. Shelley and former Con-
gresham Jesse F. Sailing. These
and others are the avowed leaders
against ratification. Gen. Shelley,
who is an old-time campaign man.
ager, having been Democratic state
chairman during the memorable
Jones-Kolb campaign Of 1892, has
been made chairman Of the anti-rati-
fication Democratic campaign COM
mittee and during the present week
will open headquarters in this city
and begin an active warfare against
ratification. Former Governor John
ston, whose influence in Alabama
politics it Is acknowledged is still
quite extensive, will be one of Gen.
Shelley's strongest aides. The former
governor in q statement issued q
couple Of days ago made bitter at
tack upon the new constitution and
declared that It was far inferior to
the old one; that to adopt it would
be to injure the credit Of the state
and would not only not secure white
but would open the way
anew for corruption of the ballot.
His arraignment was very severe and
he closed by defying any one to turn
him out of the Democratic party be-
cause he saw fit to choose as between
two constitutions made by the Demo-
cratic party, the one framed in 1875
rather than the one framed in 1901.
Elk Governor Johnston's statement has
produced quite sensation, although
it was generally expected that he
would be opposed to the new consti-
tuition. However, it was doubted by
many if he would help to lead an
active and aggressive campaign
against it.
