SHE WAS AMBITIOUS.
Not to Shine in Society, But to Be
 come an Expert Rider.
And in order to Gratify This Eztraor. dinary Desire B Popular New port Girl Delayed Her Wed.
 ding for Over Year.

One of the most curious excuses given by a woman for delaying her marriage is that of Miss Greta Pome- roy, an amateur fencer and hunts woman of some note, who told her fance, Philip Clark, she could not marry him until she had become an expert cross country rider.
 Miss Pomeroy's engagement to NIT. Clark was announced at Newport a year ago by her mother, Mrs. Coolidge Pomeroy, of 365 West Erd avenue, New York. As thA time went on and no cards for the wedding were issued there was much speculation as to the reasons for the delay. Now, says the New York World, it is understood the marriage is to take place soon, and with the news of the forthcoming cere- mony comes the story of Miss Pome- roy's extraordinary reason for delay ing the event.
 She formed an ambition to become proficient rider to hounds before she became engaged to MT. Clark. When she promised to marry him it was with the secret understanding, so it is said, that the wedding should not take place until she had fulfilled this am- Ibition. At that time she did not think it would take ss long as it has taken. She had gained preeminence in other branches of sport so easily, she had made such rapid progress in horse manship that she thought she could Fquickly gain a leadership among Wom- en in cross country riding.
 ! Expert cross country riders agree that it generally takes man ten years lof constant experience during the hunting season to acquire those things which make a perfect rider to hounds: Miss Pomeroy had never ridden much and had never followed the hounds un- til five years ago. She had been occu- lpsed with other things. Cross country riding was first suggested to her by P.

Thus Garibaldi and Bismarck have both figured as spon- sors of certain moselles, as we'll as Emperor William, This year the sea- son has been cold and wet, and the wine will be poor, so the vineyard owners of the Moselle, having a pret ty wit for Anglophobes, have chris tened their wine after Mr. Chamber sain.-London Express

SINNERS AT PRAYER.
Frightened by Sound of Gabriel's
 Horn in Church.
CoIored Boy in BeIfry Sounded the Terrorixfng Instrument, But It Certainly Wrought the Eff
 feet Desired.

George A. Cox, revivalist of some note in northern Indiana and south ern Michigan, resorted to an unusual expedient recently to turn sinners from their evil ways. It was so suc- cessful that he may repeat it for their benefit if the notoriety result ing from his first attempt does not put the worldly on their guard and thus make it impossible to dupe them again.
 He had been preaching night after night to a village congregation, but had utterly failed to awaken interest. The usual special prayers for the con version of sinners had been offered and meetings flor women only'' and flor men only" had been held, but nothing seemed able to bring the sim iers to the anxious seat. One night, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, he se- creted negro boy in the beIfry of the little church. The lad was provided with large horn, and at certain juncture in the minister's closing prayer he was to blow it with all his might.
 The sermon that evening was from the text, Many are called, but few are chosen" and MT. Cox eloquently d,yclt upon the delights of the saved and the sufferings of the lost. TaeE he knelt in prayer and begged the Lord to hasten the day of his coming ard to turn the hearts of the wicked toward Him before it was forever too late.
 Gabriel, come blow thy trumpet" he shouted. "Ceme and sound thy mighty warning of approaching woe to stiff-necked people"
 This was the signal for the negro boy in the belfray, and he sounded blast after blast in answer to the min ister's prayer.
 There was commotion in the con- gregation. Many pious men and

SPEAKING A PIECE"
But He Was Unexpectedly
 Helped Out.

'Wky does teacher make everybody in school speak piece?' complained Harlem youngster one evening around the library lamp, looking up from the ''piece de resistance" he was wrestling with, says the New York Herald. Il think some fellows wasn't made to speak pieces-just as the minister said some folks never could spell. I never can get this thing learned-never!"
 Benny" said his father, with be coming parental sternness, you must learn whatever your teachers tell yov to. In my young days l always mind' ed my teachers, and-um-um-" aa he caught an amused glance from his wife's eyes-a look of smiling recol- lection-''well, er-that is I always tried to-you may go to bed now, and try your piece in the morning. Good night, my son."
 You nearly forgot that time in the old district school, didn't you, dear?' she queried, as the door closed on the boy. My sympathy is with Benny now, just as it was with you that long ago day. Why will teachers persist in trying to turn every pupil into the same mold, like gelatine? Now, you never could CT would speak a piece ir your life, you know. What scene you did make that day when the trus- tees came for their Friday visit to tha school?
 And how my heart did hutter when fthe master stood over you with that whip and counted off the minutes he gave you to make up your mind as to whether you'd speak for the visitors or take a logging before them. Those were awful minutes to me-" >=
 .Yes, I saw you with your pretty eyes full of tears, and that made me decide to speak, for no fellow wants to get licked before his best girl. Wasn't it a corker, though, that speech?"

CORPSE WANTED DRINK.
Rain Prevents Burial of a Live wom- an and Also Saves Her ssMur-
 derer,s" Neck.

Near the little town of Denmark, Tenn, Eliza Williamson, an aged ne- gress, was struck upon the head by a negro man with murderous intent, he using fence rail as a weapon. The woman fell as if shot through the heart, and with few gasps apparent 1y died.
 The body, says the New York World, was carried to her house, near by, and was prepared for burial the next day. Gradually it grew cold and rigid, and the closest examination failed to dis cover any indications of life. The heart was still, the eyes were set, and
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-12-30

upon the sable face the ashen hue of death had fallen.
 All of Sunday afternoon and night watchers sat beside the bier. When the time appointed for the burial came a mighty rain set in that lasted all of that day and far into the night, mak- ing it impossible for the burial to take place, and another long night of watch ing came on Monday night. It was then intended to bury the body early Tuesday morning and preparations were made for the event.
 Just before the hour arrived the watchers were surprised to see the supposed corpse rise up in the coffin, and the eyes open slowly and looked wonderingly upon the surroundings.
 The woman did not appear in the least alarmed or astonished, but calm ly asked for drink of water, which some one in the assembly less fright ened than the rest gave to her. Then she lay quietly back in the coffin and fell into natural sleep, her respira- tion and circulation gradually return ing to their normal condition.
 A physician was summoned, and after carefully examining the patient after she had been removed from the coffin, declared that her chances for final recovery were reasonably good. She had at most sustained only skull fracture. ss--z... ..t 4" a |s
 In the meantime the assailant of the woman had been placed in jail on a charge of deliberate murder, and against him had already grown a strong sentiment among the negroes where the supposed murder had oc- cured. When informed of the happy turn affairs had taken he was almost wild with joy.

1t will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse.. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber iain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse. or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. Tn this way aIE danger and anxiety may be avoided.

F. Collier, master of the hounds of the Monmouth County (N. J.) Hunt club. What stunning rider you would make, Miss Pomeroy," said MT. Collier to her one day. ,~h. ..4 ,-.# - The conversation that followed aroused her interest. She decided to try riding and Mir. Collier offered to coach her. He has never fewer than 20 hunters in his stable in Eaton town, N. J., and every one of them is imported from Ireland. Few know as much about the game and not one is more fearless than the white haired man who seems younger in the field than most of those who fol- low him.
 She became enthusiastic in the sport, and in less than year she has become one of the best women cross country riders in the country.
 Miss Pomeroy has achieved note ia other lines of sport. She took up re- volver shooting and became remark ably proficient. About the same time she took up fencing, and she prac- ticed and studied as if her future de- pended upon her mastery of the foils. Her instructor said of.her:
 "UndoIbtedly Miss Pomeroy is the best woman fencer in the United States She fences in the right style and is capable of fencing with any man, no matter how expert, without expecting that favor be shown her because she is a woman. There is the strength of a man in her Juno like arm when she wields the foil and the science of an expert fencer beside. Every movement she makes is one of grace, suppleness, and strength. Her endurance is remark able"
 When she took up swimming she also showed great ability, and for several years she has been one of the strongest of the women swimmers at Newport. She has won many races.
 Miss Pomeroy has gained distinc- tion as big game hunter. Her ex- ploit in Colorado in killing a bear gave her wide fame. The expedition was planned by Mrs. Stuyyesant Fish. The guests were taken to Colorado in D private train. The party made it's headqua rters at Glenwood Springs. It was four miles north of there. in June, 1899, that the dogs overlook a black bear and her three cubs. Miss Pomeroy was in the van of the hunt CTS. They found that the bear had retreated down deep ravine, and to follow they had to dismount Miss Pomeroy was first on the scene, and she dispatched the bear as if was about to attack her. It was the big gest bear killed in Colorado that year.

WAS UNDER WATER
TWENTY MINUTES

FOREST GROVE (Or), August 1S.-
Bessie Mills, fifteen years Old remain
ed under water yesterday twenty min
utes, and today she is suffering no ill
effects from her experience. Physi-
clans who have investigated the case
declare that in the time she was under
no water entered her lungs.
Bessie, in company with her brother
Frank, and Bessie Christian, were
playing in Gales creek on a raft. Sud-
denly Frank stepped off and went down
over his head He caught the raft
when he came up and tipped it so that
bessie Christian slipped off. Bessie
grabbed Bessie and was pulled into the
water. She managed to get back on
the raft, but seeing her little brother
struggling some distance away, she
leaped toward him and struck the wa
ter on her stomach. She sank at once.
The other two children were rescued
by some women, but they could not find
Bessie. The boy ran and gave the
alarm. George Meyers came to the
rescue and after a few minutes locat-
ed the girl at the bottom of the creek
clinging to a root. 1t required all of
his strength to unclasp her fingers.
The women set to work to try to re-
vive her, although they believed her al
ready dead. 1t was a surprise when
she opened her eyes. She was taken
home and cared for and within a few
hours was all right.
The theory of physicians here who
investigated the case is that when
Bessie struck the water on her stom-
ach, the breath was forcibly expelled
from her lungs, and at the same time
she was rendered insensible, in which
condition she remained until she had
been brought out of the creek, when
respiration was started artificially. Had
she come to" while beneath the wa

AMERICANS SHUT OUT.

NEW YORK, August pa cable to
the Herald from London says: Amer
leans who are disposed to seek their
fortunes in South Africa are finding
that to gain entrance to the British
possessions in that part of the world is
no easy matter since peace was pro-
claimed. Hundreds of citizens of the
United States have applied at South
African permit offices in Victoria
street for permission to go to johann
nesburg and other towns in the inter-
ior, and a large number of them have
been turned away.
Printed regulations have been issued
regarding this matter. One of them
stipulates that the applicant for a per-
nit must have at least e100 in his pos
session, or prove he is in a position to
maintain himself on arrival in South
Africa. He must also prove that the
object of his journey is definite and
bona tide. The British Government
purposes to keep paupers out of the
country. Prospecting miners are also
not considered desirable.
