BEDINI FOOLS TURNIP.

For hard general wear a spring
suit Of black, navy, brown or Oxford

LOVE THAT NEVER DIED.
Texas Colonel Married 10 the yFIau,.
OF His Youth After Fifty Years
of Parting.

when Col. n. L. Norton, youngest
surviving member of the confederate
congress, married Mrs. Frances c. P.
Porter at Memphis recently a ro-
nance which had suffered an inter-
mission # half a century was round
ed out. The principals had been
sweethearts in childhood and had
since then lived the width of the con-
tinent apart.
Long before the civil war Norton
and the woman who is now his wife
lived IN Nicholas county, Ky. He
was a collegian and she was a belle
OF the region, and they were devot-
edly in love with each other. Unfor-
tunately for their plans, they were
second cousins, and their parents OBJ
jected to the match between them.
So Norton gave up hope and moved
to Missouri.
When the war came Norton went to
the southern congress, then enlisted
and served under Sterling Price, won
a colonelcy by bravery, drifted to
Texas, aud took a bride when peace
had been restored. This wife died
some time ago and only q grandchild
survives as relic of the marriage.
The colonel grew rich in Texas and
lives in ease on a comfortable estate.
The girl also accepted another
suitOr, a man named Porter, a prom
nent citizen of Millersburg, KY, who
lied and left her a comfortable for
tune, and on this she supported her
self in magnificent style. Some time
ago she and the colonel learned each
If the others whereabouts, and each
became aware that these early mar
ciages had in no way dimmed the
Early love-which even shone the
brighter by contrast with these lesser
DANES. So a correspondence was
opened, love was declared, marriage
decided on, and both journeyed to
Memphis, where they met and were
married. They will live on Col. Nor
toms estate in Texas, making long
visits to Kentucky. Col. Norton is Il
years of age.

friendly Overtures to the United States
with especial interest in view Of the
growing enmity between his country
and Great Britain. Diplomats say that
there is now apparently rivalry be-
tween Germany and Great Britain for
American friendship.
President Roosevelt is naturally
pleased at the persistence of Emperor
William in endeavoring 10 promote
friendly relations with this govern
ment. During the four months of his
administration Emperor William has
given positive assurances that he has
no intention of occupying territory ON
this continent; has shown a desire to
consult the United States with respect
to the collection of claims from Venez-
uela; has asked that the presidents
daughter christen his new yacht, and
has finally announced that his brother
and his imperial yacht will pay a visit
to this country. The desire for Ameri-
can friendship is so obvious that it has
impressed the officials.
In connection with the proposed trip
of the Hohenzollern to New York En-
peror William telegraphed as follows
in English 10 President Roosevelt:
'I am most gratifed by your kind per-
mission for Miss ROOsevelt's performing
the christening ceremony Of my yacht. 10
gives me great pleasure 10 announce TO you
that I have ordered my yacht. the HOhen-
Zollern. TO cross over and be present at the
ceremony. Ny brother Admiral Prince
Henry Of Prussia, will appear as my rep
resentative and will be able TO express to
you once more my sincere feelings and
friendship for the United States and theiE
illustrious head.
President Roosevelt replied as fol-
lows in German:
Your majesty's intention TO send over
your yacht, the HOhenzollern, 10 attend
the christening by my daughter OF your
Dew yacht is the source Of great pleasure
and satisfaction 10 me. / can assure you
q hearty welcome for your brother. Ad-
miral Prince Henry. TO whom ! shall per
sonaly express my sincere feelings OF es-
/ TEEN for your majesty well as my best

SCIENCE AND HEALTH.

Her Famous Book to Be Made a
Place of worship.

The house at Lynn, Mass, where
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy wrote her
famous book, Science and Health"
the law and the gospel of the great
Christian Science church, of which she
is the originator and head, has just
been purchased by her faithful follow
ers in that city, and will be preserved
as a memorial to their revered teach
er. 1t is to be remodeled into
church. There was talk of tearing it
down and building a modern church
edifce, but the majority of the So

will provide place of worship, and al
the same time keep intact as a memo
rial the room where the creed was
born
The house is u Broad street, cen
traliy located, and an ideal location
for church purposes. 1t is the Mecca
of thousands 81 pilgrims, who come
from far and near. At present it is
occupied by two families, and they
have both been so beset b. visitors
that they have finally been obliged, in
self-defense, to forbid inspection of
the interior of the premises, except
in rare cases, where people have trav-
eled exceptionally long distances with
this in view. The upper tenement is
occupied by a Mrs. Cole, and the tide
of travel turns more naturally in her
direction than to the lower part of
the house, from the fact that the room
Mother" Eddy occupied, and where
she performed her task, is in the up
per tenement.
The room which is the subject of
such solicitation is plain, small, and
at the present time occupied By a
Swedish domestic, who appears sub
timely Indifferent to her surround
ings. 1t is lighted by a small gable
window and q skylight in the roof,
which is to be seen in the picture.
One door opens into the hallway and
the other leads TO a small closet. The
view is practically confined to the
glimpse of the next hOusetOp. which
may be obtained through the slylight
by dint Of craning ones neck, and the
beauties of a lane, which may be seen
from the rear window. There was
certainly nothing to distract Mrs
Eddy's attention from the work in
hand. Whatever else is changed in
remodeling the house, it is likely that

er enacted, that the Constitution and
all laws of the United States, which
are not locally inapplicable shall have

where within the United States"
Mr.. Teller declared that the out

Philippines by the Spaniards had been
increased since the advent of the
Americans into the islands, as was al.
wayg the case when the Anglo-Saxen
succeeded the languid Latin in
