SOME REGIsTRATIoN NOTES.

Henry Jackson, oolored, of Fred
ericksburg, who was member of
the Underwood Constitutional Con-
vention, was unable to register under
the new Constitution. having failed
TO pass the understanding clause.
Although once lsw-maker, he is
now disfranchised.
Rev. Randolph Peyton, successor
of the late Rev. John Jasper. in a SER
mon in Richmond last week advised
his colored members not to contribute
to the fund to contest the new
Constitution. He declared if there
were wrongs they would right them
selves and be conducive to the well
fare of the colored race. He main
tained that a contest would cause
useless friction, and that peaceful
acquiescence would reveal the in
justice if any was done.

ELOPED WITH OWN WIFE.
Connecticut Man Thought Her a
Widow He Was COurting.


A dispatch from New Haven,
Conn.,, to the New York World says.
''At table in the Allen House
dining room sat a young man and a
woman whose fate was concealed by
a black veil. She carried a big
bunch of white chrysanthemums.
The man reached over and touched
her gloved left hand. She drew
away and lifted her veil. The man
leaped from his chair as though
somebody had touched him with an
electric wire.
$50 good of you to take me out,
DEAR said the woman, sweetly.
"The man picked up his hat aud
coat, ran all the way to the railroad
station aud bought a ticket for New
Orleans. As he boarded the train
he was heard to calculate one word

thinking her widow to whom he
had been paying attentions.
According to the story it came to
the ears of Mrs. Harriet Falkner. of
Yalesville, few weeks ago that her
husband was spending time and
money on a fascinating widow in
heriden. Mrs. Falkner played detec-
tive. She shadowed her husband
aud the widow while they sat on a
bench in a park and arranged for an
elopement.
L will wear black veil and
carry a bunch of white chrysan-
themums,' said the widow.
"Oh! you Wills? muttered the
wife from secure hiding-place in
the shrubbery. well, so will l.
"And so it came to pass that as
the widow waited at the specified
railroad station in Meriden, wearing
black veil and carrying bunch of
white chrysanthemums, she was ap-
preached by another woman wearing
a black veil.
"'A gentleman from Yalesville is
waiting for you at the Tracy Depot
SAID the woman in the black veil to
the widow.
"Away went the widow to the
Tracy depot. The wife in the black
veil bought bunch of white chry-
santhemums and took the place of
the widow. Along came the hus-
band. He beckoned the woman with
the black veil and the chrysan-
themums to board a train to this CITY.
"The cars were crowded and they
did not sit together. On arriving
here they walked up Asylum street
together to the Allen House without
speaking.
"'My husband was very tender
relates Mrs. Falkner, squeezing my
arm as we walked along. When we
were seated in the Allen House, after
he had suggested supper, he said:
"Just glance at your sweet face, my
darling"
"He got it, and | haven't heard
from him since. He hasn't even sent
home for his clothes.'"

HICKS FOR NOVEMBER.

AS the Venus disturbances extend
fully twenty days before ani after
the center of her periods, all the
perturbations- during the first half
of November will feel the force of
the Venus influence.
The first storm movements will be
central on the 3rd and 4tb; rise in
temperature, falling barometer, cloud
mess and rain will pass eastwardly
from western extremes to the Atlantic.
The second storm period will ex-
tend from 9TH to 18th; marked
change to warmer will move out of
western parts, falling barometer will
follow, aud wide areas of autumnaI
rain will move eastward.
Anti-storm conditions will break
down about 18th and 10th, which
are reactionary storms days. On
and touching these dates low barom-
eter, rising temperature, and wide
areas of renewed rain, turning to
snow generally to northward, will
pass eastwardly from the far west.
One of the marked storm periods
covers the 10th to the 23rd. Low
barometer and warmer will end in
general rains; rains will lead to snow
and sleet, followed by a change
amounting to cold wave. This
period will come to its crisis about
the 22nd and 23rd.
On and touching 26 and 9th, the
cloudy, unsettled weather, will grow
into decided autumnal storms of rain,
wind and snow. Frosts and freezing
will penetrate far into the south,
along with the high barometer
behind these storms. AS the month
goes out a storm period will be in its
first stages; it will be turning war
mer in the west, with falling ba-
rometer and other indications of ap-
preaching storms. This period will
culminate in the opening days oil
December.

TWO HUSBANDS IN TWO HOURS.
As Bride Approaches Altar at
Lovers Side Another WEEDS Her.

AS Bride Approaches Altar mt
Lovers Side Another Weds Her.
AS Miss Marie Roypen and Samuel
Oren, of Philadelphia, were walking
down the aisle of a Synagogue to be
married, Joseph Goldberg, in the
presence of hundreds of witnesses,
stepped in front of the pair. The
bride screamed and threw OUT her
hand as though to protect herself.
Goldberg seized it, slipped newly
minted silver half-dollar into her
glove and placed ring on the tip of
her finger.
Then, in loud voice, he announced
in Hebrew that in the sight of God,
Abraham and the company there as
sembled Marie Roypen was his wife.
Instantly the church was filled
with discordant cries. Oren threw
himself face downward in the aisle
and cried. The parents of the bride
protested against the interruption
and cried out to Rabbi Good man to
proceed with the ceremony.
The weeping bride stood mute,
wringiug her hands. Suddenly she
touched the PROSTATE Oren, and as
he raised his tear-stained face, she
cried out: 81 cannot marry you, Sam.
In the sight of God and man / am
Joseph Goldberg's wife. am his
wife in the eyes of our faith"
Rabbi Goodman decided to take
two hours for deliberation. At the
end of that time it had been proved
to his satisfaction that Goldberg had
not uttered the word of the marriage
contract entirely correctly, and that
this made the one-sided union invalid.
The rabbi called Oren and Marie
before him and pronounced them to
be husband and wife. The company
was divided as to the justice of Rabbi
Goodman's decision, the men declar-
ing ne was right, while nearly every
woman denounced the act, averring
that Joseph Goldberg was Marie's
real husband.
Goldberg declares he will fight to
be declared the rightful bridegroom.
He says that according to the old
Orthodox Jewish faith, which is held
by both himself and the bride, that

A Monster Potato.

Col. Jas. II. Duke sent The
Herald a sweet pototo weighing
81 pounds, which was raised on
his large potato patch west OF
his residence.
Col. Dukes yield of potatoes,
all exceedingly large in size, is
above the average this year.
Another proof OF The Herald's
constant assertion that, prop
erly cultivated, the Sandy ridges
in the vicinity OF Scooba are as
valuable as any gold mine. Col
Dukes potatoes are of severeral
different varieties, the bunch
yam, the old fashioned yellow
yam, the southern queen, &c.
The specimen sent US is a south

Mr.. G. L. Rush informs us that
in 1898 he raised $50 gallons OF
ribbon cane molasses on one acre
of land. He broad casted and
plowed under 200 bushels OF cot.
ton seed on the land to start with;
when his cane was ready to lay
by he put 1000 pounds OF cotton
seed meal on his patch. Putting
the cotton seed at $50 and the
meal at $40, the amt. is $40; then
$50 gallons at 30 cts. gives $195,
and $195 less $40 gives a net
profit OF $125 per acre, tor the
horse and COW feed which. the
fodder from the cane afforded
paid for the labor. Talk about
