appear He found her relatives living
in Pittsburg, and they told him she
had left her home to meet him in that
city.
Search for her was resumed in Pitts
burg, but no trace could be found, and
the man decided she had met with
some accident and was probably in a
morgue. He began a search on that
idea. After two weeks hunt along
this line he discovered that instead of
going to Pittsburg Miss Snyder had
gone to La Sale and had been married
to Rowe-happily, she says, in a letter
to one of her friends.
Bernard Friedman, of Pawnee, Okla,
has taken a wife home with him from
Milwaukee, and it remains yet to be
seen whether he was blind or not. 1t
will be admitted that he went it blind,
but both he and his wife assert their
happiness, and they are the judges in
the matter.
Friedman went to department store
for his wife. He supposed he could pur-
chase anything there. Several sales
women amused themselves with him,
and presented him to all the marriag e-
able girls in the store. Friedman want
ed Jewess, and Mrs. Carrie Lieher-
man, a widow, was offered as candi-
date.
Friedman's visits to the store became
frequent after meeting Mrs. Licher-
man, but the two kept their own coun-
sells. After two weeks the saleswoman
resigned her position, and the first
thing the designing clerks knew they
heard of the marriage. The two have
gone back to Pawnee.

Diving Makes Men Cross.

A professional diver says that one
of the strange effects of diving is the
invaria BILE bad temper felt while work
ing at the bottom of the sea. AS this
usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, it is probably due
to the pressure of the air affecting the
lungs, and through them the brain.
The exhilaration and good temper of
the mountain climber is a contrary
feeling, from an opposite cause.

Some University statistic.

Germans seem to be more eager for
collegiate education than the people of
other countries. In Germany one man

prieve him. There were two factions in
guilty, and the other considering him
innocent. The latter talked of rescue,
but it was all talk.
The scaffold was not inclosed and
when young Purdy assembled the gal
lows he walked erect and fearless. He
denied his guilt, and all who saw him
were compelled to admit his bearing
was that of an innocent man. The
black cap was pulled over his face, the
sheriff pulled lever, and the next we
saw was man getting up from the
ground, snatching the black cap from
his head and declaring dramatically:
God has proved my innocence
'The rope had broken. That was
enough. Former enemies turned into
adherents, and before the sheriff could
again take his prisoner to the gallows
and get another rope he was in the
center of crowd of thousands of peo-
pie, all of whom were swearing there
were not sheriffs enough in Mississippi
to hang an innocent man.
"Purdy was taken home, and an es-
cort of $50 armed and determined men
went with him and remained until
there was no danger of any further
proceedings being taken. Without any
legal formalities the matter was al
lowed to drop, and Purdy is living Is
miles from Columbia, respected and
happy.
Joy almost killed his wife when she
saw him alive at the time she expected
his corpse to be brought home. To say
Purdy is guilty is now almost as much
as mans life is worth down there"

William Scott, after an illness of several
weeks, died a o'clock yesterday after
noon at his residence, lib Bellefontaine
street. Mr.. Scott was eighty years of age.
He was native of Scotland. Coming to
America with his wife, whom he survived
six years, he first located in Canada, but
removed to Lafayette. Ind, and soon after
ward came to this city, where he had re-
sided for the last forty years. He was one
of the oldest builders and contractors. and
continued in business until few months
ago. His sturdy character and thorough
ness were evidenced in all his work. even
in the rush Of the boom years of the early
IOs when he was very actively engaged.
Mr. Scott was a member of the First
presbyterian Church. and was a thorough
going Scotch Presbyterian. He leaves a
family of seven children. They are David
/. and Walter p, contractors; john with
George j. Mayer & Co; Misses Elizabeth.

of the builders of the Sixth Presbyterian

member of the Masonic fraternity. He was

Miss Kate McCarty, Of Wabash
At last nights session the time was prin-
cipalIy devoted to a ''round table, con-
ference. The general leader was Prof.
Thomas +. Moran. OF Purdue University.
One of the topics discussed was Teaching
Politics in American History" The senti-
ment of the ''round table seemed 10 be
that the teaching of politics in history
should be confined rather TO the last year
in high school and could be best taught
with the study Of civil government An
other topic which the ''rOund table, dis
cussed was presented by Miss Anna Will
son. Of the Charlottesville High School.
Her subject was, Are We Teaching the
Subject or the Pupil?'' Miss Wilson thinks
there is danger OF the teacher paying more
attention 10 the subject than 10 the pupil.
Her idea was that a teacher might have
a subject thoroughly in hand and be a
master Of IL in every way and yet teach
over the head of the pupil, because the
teacher did not understand the pupil as
he should THE Teaching OF Current His

SAFETY BOARD DOINGS.
Policemen and Firemen Must Pay
Their Bills PromDtIy

AT the meeting of the Board OF Safety
yesterday it was decided to enforce to the
letter the rule of the department. which
provides that all in the service must pay
just debts or be dismissed. The board is
sued an order to the heads of the fire and
police departments instructing them to no.
tfy their men that all debts for necessities
contracted while in the service of the city,
must be paid or satisfactory arrangements
made for paying. or the delnquents would
be subject to dismissal from the service
of the city.
The action was taken because of the
constant stream of bills which pour into
the office of the board. If the members
devoted all their time to considering bills
against firemen and policemen they would
have time for nothing else. AS it is their
time is taken up largely TO the exclusion
OF important business. The members stat
ed yesterday that the order will be enforced
strictly and that firemen and policemen
who have not adjusted their financial diff
fculties in a satisfactory manner will be
subject TO dismissal whether they are Re-
publicans or Democrats.
The board yesterday accepted the resig-
nation of Charles H. Schulz from the fire
department and approved the appointment
of Thomas Eaves. The following applicants
were appointed as substitute firemen: Re
publicans-Jesse Hutsen, Virgil Ferguson
and John Mountain; DemOcrats-Albert
Houser, Frank j. Nutter and V. 3. Smith.

Notes of the Stage.

Leon Morris, who is showing troupe of
performing ponies at the Grand Opera
House, is an Indianapolis boy. He learned
to train animals under his father, Morris
Lewis who was one of the most prominent
dog and pony trainers in the country ten
or more years ago. Patience is the essen
tial thing in training animals said Mr..
Morris yesterday. Each day 1 take them
a little deeper intotthe trick / am trying to
teach them, until il is accomplished. One
must be kind to the animals If he expects to
make any Roadway. If you are mean 1t
keeps them confused all the time. / had
a very hard time teaching the ponies to
wrestle with the negro. The smaller pony
is very mischievous and has a great dis
like for the man. If he did not wear
clothes that were padded so heavily 1 am
afraid that he would fare badly, because
the little fellow tries his best TO bite
through the padding. Sometimes he does
pinch him pretty hard. The man has to

Two Irishmen on Missouri Street Were
Not Guilty of Suicide.

Bicyclemen Trimpe and Lowe last night

street to investigate an attempt at suicide.
When they reached the house they found
two Irishmen sitting on the porch, compla-
Gently smoking their pipes.
'Who tried TO commit suicide here?"

"Su'coide!" cried the smokers in unison,
at the same time jumping to their feet.
Yer talkin' in riddles" added one.

the other
''Thin thayre's no su'coide here" declared
the first speaker, "becoz Oh am vera much

The policemen insisted on searching for a
suicide and the bluecOats and the smokers
made a thorough search for one weary of
living. After the search had proved fruit
less Trimpe and Lowe mounted their wheels
and rode away. AS they left they heard a
quiet pair of chuckles and "Hov We a

TO DETECT POISONS
The Body Tries to sweat Them Out.

At a convention of medical men in St
Louis the effects OF coffee drinking were
carefully considered. 1t was unanimously
agreed that while coffee does not seem to
injure some persons. 10 others il is rank
poison. The effect on different persons is
of course. very different. In some the heart
is affected. in others the kidneys. again the
stomach or bowels. or the eyes and in
