from the Southern States, and 1S6,017

against a total enrolment in the Con.

seen that in addition to fighting q

than fivesixths as many Southern men
as we had in our own armies. The ag.

Many Want to Do Murder

1t is matter of legal record that a
famous English physician, Sir Richard
Owen, when called upon for expert tes-
timony In celebrated poisoning case
where subtle toxic was suspected to
have been used, testified that there are
several toxics which cause death and
leave no trace, and, upon being asked
to name them, and refusing to do SO,
stated as his reason for refusing that
such knowledge was too dangerous to
be made public. The court for that
reason sustained him in his refusal to
name the poisons. This single circum-
stance in the report Of the trial attract
ed such wide attention that Sir Rich
ard Owen received 700 letters from all
parts of the world and all conditions of
people asking for the names Of the
poisons-letters in which the writers
resorted to all sorts of arts and wiles
to elicit the coveted information.

Carnegie's Romance.


Andrew Carnegie, in his address be-
fore John D. Rockefeller's Bible class
in the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church,
insisted that if young man must fall
in love with woman he must be care
full to love one well on in years. His
exact words were:
''If you must fall in love, do so with
a woman 20 or 80 years your senior.
The greatest friend a young man can
have is a woman, but the woman
must be much older than he."
This precept is greatly at variance
with the practice of the preceptor.
Mr.. Carnegie in his selection of a wife
didn't follow the advice given his hear
ers. He married late in life, and the
woman of his choice was 20 years
younger than he. It was not until 1887
that he took to wife Miss Louise Whit
field, the daughter Of John Whitfield,
No. 35 West Forty-eight street. Ten
years later little baby girl blessed
their union. Mr.. Carnegie at the time
his first child was born was 62 years
old.
Behind the steel magnate's marriage
there turks romance. 1t Is said that
he would have married earlier in life.
and some years before his marriage
was very much in love with Miss
Tula Addison, who afterward became
Nine. De Ximenez. Mr.. Carnegie vener-
ated his mother, however, and it is
said promised her not to marry during
her lifetime. He kept his word, and
those who like to gossip say that his
promise prevented his marriage to the
first woman of his choice.-Chicago
