Lamar-Leslie.

Last night at 10 o'clock another mar riage took place in Selma, one, however, that was not down on the program so far as the general public was concerned. It was known to a select few that mar riage a little out of the ordinary was on the tapis, and the reporters were hust- ling around all day to get the facts. They met the Montgomery train yesterday morning expecting the young lady, Miss Sadie Leslie of Benton. to come in on that train and she was to have been met at the depot by MT. Ike N. Lamar and all the arrangements had been made for him to drive to tn reSiden"e ~f >~
 P. Hurt where the ceremony was to have taken place.
 For some reason, however. the young lady could not 9t off on that train, but not to be outdone, Mir. Lamar boarded the 4:15 train for Montgomery, got off at Benton and from that time on he had things all his way. He had left word with pr. Hurt to look for him about D. m., and procuring a vehicle he took his sweetheart and drove through the coun- try a distance of fourteen miles. but did not arrive at the residence of pr. Hurt until 10 o'clock. When they did come Dr. Hurt in the pT essence of few friends soon made the young couple man and wife. There was some parental objection to the marriage and the young couple decided to get married In this manner and then wait for the storm to subside.
 At the time of Miss Sadie Leslie's mar riage to MT. Lamar was going on. her sister, Miss Jennie Leslie. was at the Hotel Albert, partaking of the wedding supper of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Knight, all unconscious of the fact that her sis ter was being married to the man of her choice just two blocks away

The County Registrars.

Under the new Constitution each coun- ty will have three registrars to enroll the votes of those who will be entitled to suffrage under the new Constitution. The question as to who will fill these places has commenced to agitate the public mind in Dallas. and the names of several we'll known Democrats have been mentioned for the position. From West Dallas the names of Captain William Sheppard of Liberty Hill and Hon. R. H. Tuck of Eleanor have been suggested. Captain Sheppard Is working for the place and being a good Democrat, would make a fine registrar. Mir Tuck Is an equally good man and Democrat, but it has not yet been definitely settled whether he will be an applicant. MT. Tom Barker of Sum- merfield, another unterrified Democrat
 has a large following and he is going to make a strong fight for one of the places
 Across the river two good men are spoken of, Captain Dan Edwards of Kings Beat and I. Matt Meyer of Til- den. Either of these gentlemen would give entire satisfaction to the Demo- cracy of the county. --.... -.
 From the city of Selma no one has yet announced that he would like to have one of the places. It Is more than likely that there will be two from the country and one from the city. The pay is only g. per day, and as the regis trars have to go from heat to beat and pay their own travelling expenses, it is not likely that a great many applicants will apply for the places at that saalry.
 Judge Lapsley's Death.
 The news that reached Selma at an early hour this morning that Judge James w Lapsley. the presiding judge of the City Court of Anniston, had died at his home in that city at o'clock this morning, of congestion of the lungs. cast A gloom over the city, where the de- ceased had lived so long. For many years Judge Lapsley was an elder in the First Presbyterian Church of this city and on Sunday last he was one of the worshippers in his old church and

 Long before the hous for the ceremony, g o'clock, the friends of this popular young couple commenced to gather in the auditorium of St. Paul's and by the time that the bridal party came on the scene there were hundreds in the church.
 The bridal party marched up the long aisles of St. Pauls in the following order Miss Jamie Leslie of Benton, Mir. J. T. Stanley of Selma and MT. George E.

 As the bridal couple marcheAelow up the aises Miss Ida Peacock was softly touching the keys Of the organ, while the rich, cultured voice of Miss Lulu Rhea Wise filled every nook and corner of the auditorium as she sang the bridal chorus from Lohengrin. This was rather an in novation in marriage ceremonies. but a be autiful one, and one of the loveliest

 The maids of honor carried in their hands yellow chrysanthemums and sus- pend from the broad white ribbons that were used to reserve the seats for the relatives were a couple of yellow chry- santhemums, the long stems reaching to the floor. The bride carried a shower bouquet of white carnations and plu- mosa.
 The bride is the youngest daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. l.. Kirkpatrick of Ha- zen and is noted not only for her beauty, but for her charm of manners and loveli- ness of disposition.

ANOTHER AMERICAN DUCHESS.



Possibilities Of Succession TO tho Dueni
Titls Of Newcastle.
Although the echoes OF the sensa-
tional episode Of ex-Lieutenant Put
nam Bradlee Strong and Lady Francis
Hope, better known as May Yohe. have
died away since the couple left San
Francisco for Japan, there Is much
curiosity felt at Newport as to what
action, n any, Lord Francis Hope will
take against bis wife and whether the
Duke Of Newcastle, who is unalterably
opposed to divorce, will permit his
brother to sue for divorce. AS the
duke holds the pursestrings. and Lord
Francis has not a penny Of his own,
the former will naturally have every
thing to say on the subject. Added to
thu curiosity is a deal of speculation
as to the chances Of May Yohe's esca-
pade giving English society another
American duchess. The chances Of the
Hon. Mrs. Charles stapleton Pelham
Clinton, who was Miss Lizzie di Zerega
of New York, becoming the duchess Of
Newcastle would seem to be rather re-
mose, but experience has proved that
heirs to English titles much further re-
moved than is Mrs. Pelham-C Clinton
have reached them. Briefly summar-
lied, Mrs. Pelham-C linton's chances Of
becoming the duchess Of Newcastle de-
pend upon Lord Francis Hopes d.
vorcing his present wife, not marrying
again, OF If he marries again, not hav-
ing any children by his second mar

FUTURE OF ALASKA.
Judge Brown Says the Seal Is Being Fast
Extermlnated

Judge Brown Says the Seal Is Being Fast
Extermlnated
Judge Melville c. Brown came all the
way from Juneau, Alaska, a distance
Of 5000 miles, to attend the meeting Of
the American Bar Association in Den
yer. Prior to his appointment to the
bench of the District Court of Alaska
fifteen months ago, Judge Brown was
a practitioner of Laramie, Wyoming.
The judge was interviewed while in
Denver by a Republican reporter and
said:
Alaska has no future aside from it's
mining interests and fisheries. It's min
eral wealth is still an unmeasured
quantity. It's fisheries are the largest
in the world and still admit of develop
ment. The seal industry is a thing of
the past with c~itizens, Of tho United
States IN Alaska. Inside of five years
not a seal will remain on its shores.
Our treaties with foreign countries Oh
the subject of seal hunting give aliens
practically all rights, while as efectu-
ally denying the same rights to citizens
OF this country. Hunted in season and
out, the seal is rapidly being extermin-
ated and soon will become more Of a
curiosity than the American buffalo"
During the last year Judge Brown
disposed Of more than 500 cases, in
volYing questions Of mining, admiralty,
commercial and criminal law. He says
that Alaska is not a place one might
choose for a resort in winter, although
the climate is delightful in summer.
The KlOndike boom is broken and the
restless p%rOspectOrs are drifting to 9th
er fields, leaving their claims to be de-
velOped by capital.

Prank Played by Mark Twain Upon Hia
rather and Ornithoioeists.
Even IN his youth Mark Twain was
prone to an indulgence I'm Joking. HIS
father was greatly interested at one
time In ORTHODOXY and constantly on
the lookout for rare specimens Of the
bird creation. He had several friends
who we're also enthusiasts on the sub
ject Of birds. Whenever any one OF
them discovered a rara avis It was the
custom to have a consultation. Mark
had been a witness Of several Of these
bird inquests and had noted the de-
light the old men took IN discussing a
new-found specimen. One day it oc-
Cured TO him to provide the Hanni-
bal ornithOlogists with a real circus in
the form OF a bird. He killed a crow
and also a barnyard rooster. Plucking
out the tail feathers OF both the crow
and the rooster he substituted the
ROSTERS tail feathers for those Of the
crow, producing a unique effect. When
he had the specimen nicely prepared
he went to his father and, handing It
to him, said:
Here, father, is a very curious bird
I shot. I thought you would be inter
ested in It."
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with amazement. That even
ing the ornithologists Of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens parlor.
The rare specimen was put before
them. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
ofshoot Of the bird Of paradise family
others had equally ridiculous notions
as to its ancestry. But there was one
who refused to be swerved by the pc
c~uliarity Of the birds tail from the
judgment that 1t was Of the crow
family. Why, just look here. he
said, lifting the bird by its tail feath-
ers. He got no further. There was a
quick closing Of a door. Mi. Clemens
started to leave the room. Gentle
men," he said, please excuse me for a
few moments. I will see Samuel first
and explain later"

TEACHES INDIANS TO WORK.
Redskin Boy Laborers Brave the Jeers
and scorn of Elders.

Redskin Boy Laborers Brave the Jeers
and scorn Of Elders,
Indians are o easily persuaded to
abandon old customs and the work Of
the government agents when they try
to teach them the white mans way is
often arduous and the results discour-
aging. An experiment Of much value
was attempted among the Cheyennes
in Oklahoma not long ago. An Indian
agent wished the schoolboys to milk
COWS for him and agreed to give to
each one who MIXED for three months
a nice calf Fifteen boys started, but
they we're so ridiculed by the older
men Of the tribe that twelve Of them
gave It up Three won the calves and
the pride Of being owners Of cattle
served as quite an assistance in getting
other Indian children to try. After q
year twelve boys had won calves and
the agent asked them to pillow corn for
him, agreeing to give them all the corn
they could grow. The boys volunteered
to grow corr and they actually raised
1000 bushels, which was sold and aft
erward converted into t~hirty-hve head
Of steers. Each steer was branded with
an indeviduai brand chosen by the boy
wne This made them prouder than
ever and more industrious. Every boy
at the agency wanted to go to work at
once and as a result of that experiment
the Cheyennes are the most industrious
farmers Of any tribe so recently on the
warpatb Chicago Chronicle.

Night was upon us and we were met
by the fact that We were lost-lost in

were filed with terror, and swore that
1t was an omen Of evil. 1 laughed at
their fears, and told them we would
have to make the best Of 1t, and that
the morning light would probably lead
us out of our difficulty; we finally sank
to rest Just how long we slept 1
