THIS WEDDING WEB a TANGLE
Some Kinships Caused BY Double
Tieup.

The crowd at the courthouse yester
day was discussing the odd relation
ships often resulting from marriage,
when Lee street lawyer told of an in
stance wherein father and son mar
ried a widow and her pretty daughter,
the old man taking the miss and his
son the charming widow, The young
man thus became the father-in-law of
his own father, and yet his fathers
wife was his stepmother, but as he
was his fathers son his wife became
the stepdaughter of her own child. In
course of time the children of the old
man and the daughter became the
grandchildren of the widow and son.
The sons and daughters Of the son and
the widow were brothers and sisters,
by marriage, OF the children thus born
to the old man and the daughter. The
fathers wife was the motherin law of
her own mother, and her children be-
ing the brothers and sisters Of her
husbands son, who was also her
mothers husband, not only made his
wife his grandmother, but placed him
in the position of being his own grand
father His father becoming his son
in.law, his fathers children, who were
his brothers and sisters, became also
his grandchildren, because they were
the children of his wife's daughter.
The children of the two marriages be-
came doubly step-brothers and sisters
and uncles and aunts and nephews and
nieces of each other, and in due time
the son became his own grandfather.

COMING OF THE OTHER FELLOW
His Appearance Here Friday Night
WIFE Great.

Comedy will reign supreme at the
opera house Friday night when Harry
West, the German dialect comedian
and his select company will present
the new musical comedy, "The Other
Fellow" Great things are promised in
this attraction; neatness, novelty and
cleanliness in everything presented Is

the play is so complaining that it keeps
the audience guessing what is coming
next. AS an additional feature num-
Der of clever and high-ciass vaudeville
acts are introduced during the action
of the play. The costuming is daz-
zilng and the musical numbers are the
latest productions of the leading writ
ers, making in all one of the most
complete organizations of the kind
travelling today, and must be seen to
be appreciated,

Amerlcus Man and Another Drummer
Robbed.
Two travelling statesmen, one of them
representing an Americas house, were
touched for their wealth at a Fitzger-
aid hotel yesterday morning. They
occupied room together and upon
getting up yesterday were not little
surprised to see their clothing and eff
fects scattered around and their money
gone. One of them had carefully fold
ed up his trousers, containing his wal
let and other Yaluables, and placed the
garment beneath his pillow upon re-
firing, but the adroit thief got the
breeches, and without disturbing the
owner. Nothing but money was TAX
en-, the thief leaving behind a lot of
checks, mileage books, watches and
other yaluables, A party was arrested
upon suspicion, but proved his limo
cenoe. The thief who could thus steal
a mans garment from under his pillow
is indeed an artist.

NEW YORK IS PINCHED.
Soft Coal Suddenly Jumps TO $8 Ton and
Kindiing Wood to S12
Cord,

New York, Sept. 27.-The coal
shortage reached an acute stage yes
terday. The price of soft coal
jumped to So ton, $3.50 more than
the price Wednesday and three times
as much ass before the strike was in
augurated. The quoted price of hard
coal was SIS, but it was merely NOM
inal, as there was absolutely none
to be had at any price. The price
Of wood followed coal. Kindling
wood selling d few days ago at $40
a cord brought $12. Practically a
complete fuel famine exists. Con-
sumers throughout the city had post
poned laying in supply of COAL be-
lieving that the strike would be set
tied and prices fall. Dealers assert
that the supply of anthracite in the
city is not ten, per cent. of the de-
mand and that the'present supply OF
soft coal Il hardly 25 per cent. of the
demand. tsqm 9g j384 lflNla

KIDNAPPED HIS DAUGHTER.


Chicago, Sept. PA ten-year-old
girl was kidnapped from the Illinois
industrial training school for girls at
Evanston by her father. The girl
was Edith Delhi and her parents are
said to be wealthy people living in
Ohio. Her mother obtained divorce
from her father, Herman Delhi, in
March and was given possession Of
the child. Fearing that the father
would kidnap the girl Mrs. Delhi
brought her to Evanston and placed
her in the training school. Then the
father began q search to locate his
daughter. He learned of her pres
ence in Evanston few days ago and
late yesterday appeared at the Office
OF the school. He told the matron
who he was and asked to see the
girl. The little one was brought to
him in the parlor while the matron
kept watch from room across the
hall. Suddenly Delhi picked up the
girl in his arms, dashed out of the
door and started away with her.
The smatron telephoned to the police
and a patrol filled with policemen
started after Diehl. After a long
chase Diehl jumped into buggy and
made his escape with the girl.

CYCLONE KILLED HUNDREDS.
In Sicily the Path Of the Storm Was ia
Miles Long and Great Devastationa
Was Wrought.

Syracuse, Sicily, Sept. 27.-For "a
hours before the recent cyclone burst
over the island violent storm ragged
on the eastern coast of Sicily. The
path of the cyclone was 124 miles
long and everything in the line of the
storm was destroyed. The sea swept
inland for several kilometers, doing
enormous damage. 1t is reported
from Modica (32 miles southwest
from Syracuse) that 100 bodies have
already been found, but that the
number of dead bodies swept away
by the torrent is unknown. The
newspapers express the belief that
some 400 people have been killed.
The torrent destroyed everything on
the ground floors in houses in the
lower portions of Modica. Bridges
and roads have disappeared, the dam
age amounting to many million lire.
The survivors of the catastrophe have
taken refuge in the hills The disas-
ter is supposed to have been due to
marine waterspout. The German
steamer Capera was wrecked at Ca
tania after a terrible struggle with
the waves.

WILL NOT DESERT HIM.


Paris, Sept. ia representative
Of the Associated press has inter
viewed John W. Young, father of
William Hooper Young, who is
charged with the murder in New
York of Anna Nelson Pulitzer. Mr.,
Young said: 81 am now convinced
from what has been published and
from my own cable adyices that my
son is innocent, and | shall do the
utmost in my power to help him,
while If | thought him guilty of such
q horrible crime would not move
my hand to save him from justice.
He is hayward, but he never had a
criminal tendency. The only expla-
nation, to my mind, which can con
meet him with this crime is that he
fell under the influence of some de-
signing person who perpetrated the
murder and through whom my son
acquired a guilty knowledge of the
crime or possibly became an ac-
cessory after the fact"

a demurrer to Secretary Roots an
swer to her petition for mandamus
to compel the secretary to restore
her to a clerkship. She alleges that
her removal was without just cause
or authority of law; that it was be-
cause of her political opinions and
that a clerk has vested rights to the
Office until removed by the proper
authorities acting within the range
of their authority which she disputes
in this case. Her demurrer contends
that no head Of an executive DEPART
ment is empowered to remove sub
ordinate in violation of the laws of
congress or the rules of the presi-
dent.

ATTORNEY GENERAL FAVORED IT.


Washington, Sept 27.-The presi-
dent has granted a full and uncon-
ditional pardon to William Dinkells,
convicted in 1880 before a United
States consular court in Japan Of
the murder Of Charles H. Abbott,
the first mate Of the American ship
Centennial, while lying in Hiogo har-
Dor, the prisoner being the second
mate Of the ship. Dinkella has been
in prison for more than % years,
two years in Japan and over 20 years
in the Albany, N. Y. prison. He al
ways has insisted that the crime was
committed in the heat Of passion and
when he believed his own life was
in jeopardy the testimony showing
that the murdered man had beaten
and choked the prisoner almost into
insensibility, when the prisoner Sc
cured his pistol and shot Abbott
dead. The attorney general says
that the element of generalization
was entirely lacking and that in these
circumstances the crime could not
have risen above murder in the Sec
ond degree, the maximum penalty for
which is fixed usually at 20 years.
In view of this fact and that of the
uniformally good behavior of the
prisoner while in the penitentiary q
full pardon is granted.

DEpLORABLE INCREASE OF OFFEySES


Washington, Sept. 27.-Brig. Gen,
Frederick Funston, in his annual re-
port for the Department of the Colo
RADIO, points out that the percentage
Of trials by courtmartial Of enlisted
men has nearly doubled during the
past year. He says: 1T Is plain that
there has been deplorable increase
Of offenses in general and Of deser-
lions In particular. In my opinion
there are two principal causes for
this state Of affairs: First, resent
ment Of unaccustoned limitations
and restrictions felt by men return
ing from field service to the monot-
ony and routine work Of garrison
life; second, the abolition Of the
canteen feature Of the post ex-
change. Since this action was taken
saloons Of the lowest type have been
established just outside the bounda-
ries of the various reservations; their
proprietors, in almost every case,
unprincipled scoundrels who leave
nothing undone to debauch the sol
diers and obtain their money. Gam
bling Is universal in these dives and
they are frequented by dissolute wo-
men. The soldier whose desire for
a drink would ordinarily be satisfied
by a few glasses of beer in the can
teen of the post exchange goes to
one of these resorts and does well
II he escapes before he has spent
or gambled away all his money, over
stayed his leave or engaged in an
alteration. Since | have had COM
mand here there has taken place the
ruin and degradation Of several nom
commissioned officers OF long service
and fine record. In short, the recent
legislation by congress on this ques-
ton, so far as this department Is
concerned, has had no effect except
to lower the discipline Of the army,
ruin scores Of good soldiers and fill
the pockets Of a lot Of saloonkeepers,
gamblers and prostitutes"
