A WOMAN WEEDS A MALTESE CAT.
Miss Edith Wagner Believes the Soul oil
Her Departed Lover Is Making Its
Home Within the EeIine's Hide.

Edith Wagner of Waukesha, Wis,
has been married by rurual justice
of the peace near Bingham pton, N. Y,
to her Maltese cat. Her family has
Just been advised of the extraordinary
wedding
Miss Wagner is a believer in the
TRANSPORTATION of souls. Some years
ago she was engaged to be married to
"a young man named Edward Hamlin,
but before the wedding day arrived be
died of typhoid fever. On his deathbed
Hamlin told his sweetheart that he
knew he was going to die, but that he
would always be near her.
Not long after his death a fine NAL
tese cat appeared at Miss Wagner
home and remained there. Miss Wag-
ner was convinced that the soul of her
dead lover dwelt in this feline. Some
time ago she went to New York, and
while at Binghampton decided to mar
ry the pet.
She took out license in due form,
giving a name that served for the cat,
but when she tried to arrange for the
performance of the ceremony difficulty
was encountered. Several ministers
positively refused to officiate and she
inally went into the country, where
she succeeded in finding justice OF
the peace who performed some sort OF
a marriage rite. Miss Wagner's friends
are trying to persuade her to return
home.

She Dreamed About the Money.

A woman who believes that dreams
confer property right when they are
correct in part lives in Altoona, Pa.
Not long ago she dreamed that there
was sum of money concealed in a
chimney corner in house some dis
lance away, and that when the owner
died the money should become hers, to
be used for the furtherance OF religion.
Recently the owner of such house
died, and sure enough in the chimney
corner was found the sum of $4,000.
The Altoona dreamer is now trying to
get possession of the property upon
the authority of her dream.

will be two in the boat. Though in
law man and wife are one, in boat
they count as two.
The boat is ready. Captain Andrews
has crossed in it before. The name by
which it is known is the Dark Secret.
Whether the name will be retained for
the present trip has not been decided.
Miss Carpenter of course will be the
heroine of the trip. She will be Mrs.
Andrews when the trip is made. but
her heroism will be none the less ap-
parent. 1t takes nerve to remain thir-
ty odd days. more or less. with the
probability of it's being more, in little
boat on the great heaving, billOwy
ocean even if you have your newly
made husband with you. When you
bear in mind that the cockpit of the
boat in which all that time must be
spent is about six feet long and two
feet deep. you will discover how little
room there is for seasickness.
Miss Carpenter was born in Nashua,
n H., only about 20 years ago. She is
pretty and plucky. and her forthcoming
marriage to Captain Andrews is to be
one of love. The captain is old enough
to be her father, but love does not no
tice little things like years. and Miss
Carpenter says positively that she will
make the trip. Those who know her
determined spirit are convinced that
she viii enjoy 1t.
There is just now rather fever in
the open boat sea crossing line, for
one Captain Blackburn Of Gloucester,
Mass, has issued a challenge to all

boat is % feet long. while the Dark

great clumsy and unwieldy to cross

DoUGHERTY's DELIGHT.
How Good Roads Are Helping to
Build Up Albany.
From the Albany Herald.


"The south needs nothing. not even
cotton mills, more than it does good
roads" sa the Albany, Ca Herald.
with the latter secured other bless
ings will follow fast" All of which is
true. With good roads in Georgia one
half OF the teams employed could do
twice the work that is accomplished.
The saving on the sportation of
the cotton crop alone would amount to
thousands and thouiands of dollars ev-
cry year. The counties and towns that
are first to build good road systems
will be the first to get rich. -Savan-
nah News.
There are no better roads in Georgia
than Dougherty county's. They are
famous throughout south west Georgia,
and are the delight of our good friends,
the farmers. The average farmer will
bring his cotton twenty miles to AL
bany rather than carry it twelve miles
to some other market, the former jour
ney being the less serious undertaking.
Our roads have not been built in a
year or two, nor has the cost to the
county been inconsiderable, but the in
vestment is the best our taxpayers
have ever made. The good roads slo-
gan is one that should be taken up in
every county in the southern states.

EX-PRESlDENT HARRISON DEAD.
The Distinguished American Succumbs to
Grin and Pneumonia.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 49,
General Benjamin Harrison died at
4: 45 o'clock this afternoon without re-
gaining consciousness. His death was
quiet and painless, there being a grad
ual sinking until the end came, which
was marked by single gasp for breath
as life departed from the body of the
great statesman. The relatives, with
a few exceptions, and sevC raj of his
old and tried friends were at the for
mer presidents bedside when he pass
ed away.
None of General Harrison's children
were present at his death. Neither
Colonel Russell Harrison nor Mrs. Nc
Kee had reached the city, although
both were hurrying on their wa to
the bedside of their dying parent as
fast as steam could carry them.
General Harrison's wealth is various
ly estimated, public opinion rating it
as high as half a million dollars. Those
who are best informed about the ex-
presidents affairs, however, say he was
worth about two hundred and fifty or
three hundred thousand dollars. At
the time he was elected presiden the
was reputed to have accumulated a
tic and this has been doubled at least
since. OF late his practice, owing to
his great reputation as a constitutional
lawyer, was very lucrative. His fee in
the Venezuelan boundary dispute. in
which he represented the South Amer
lean republic, was 100000.

that even with halfway favor

REQUISITON WAS REFUSED.
Gambler Will Not Deliver Cuthbert
Man to AlabamaOffiCier.

Governor Gambler has declined to
grant requisition from the governor
of Alabama for Fl. 3. MattoY, who q
few days ago was arrested in Cuth bert,
Ca. upon warrant charging him
with the crime of forgery.
The papers having reference to the
case developed the fact that seine time
ago H. B. Mattox wa employed by +.
ing business in DOphan, Ala, to
travel around as the agent for the firm
and buy cotton for the house. He was
given power of attorney to make drafts
upon the house for purchases made by
him of cotton and for any other purpose
that he saw fit in his capacity as agent
for Edmondson & Co.
While MattOX was employed in this
capacity the firm of EdmOnson & Co.
failed and draft made upon the
house, and which MattOx had dis
counted, was returned to the holder
with the significant endorsement on
the back in two letters IN. G." The
holder of the draft then had MattoX
arrested at Cuthbert, and through the
governor of the state of Alabama made
an effort to have him returned to that
STATE to be prosecuted upon charge
of forgery. The governor after review
ing the case could not see where Mat
tox had committed any crime, but be-
came impressed with the belief that it
was only an effort to get Mattox back
to Alabama to collect a debt, and
he therefore refused the requisition.
