The Hon. p. HENRY MCCARREN, who
hitherto has been friend and ally in poll
tics Of the Hon. HUGH McLAUaHLIN, has
shown no sympathy with Mr.. McLAUaHLIN's
desire to maintain the independence Of the
Kings county Democratic organization in
the present political campaign While Mr.
MCLAUGHLIN opposes Mr.. CHARLES F.
MURPHY's nominees for Comptroller and
President of the Board OF Aldermen, Mr..
McCARREN supports them, and is endeav

Brooklyn Citizen, a newspaper OF uncom-
promising devotion to Democratic prin-
ciples, and to Mr.. McLAuGHLIN, is trying
10 prevent the people of williamsburg

may expect from Tammany victory

campaign laid down in the Tammany plat

BRIDE OF THIRTEEN.
Sought Divorce in an English Cour But the Judge Would Not
 Grant Decree.


 One sof the most remarkable stories ever told in the divorce court of Lon don was related to MT. Justice Buck i'll in connection with the petition o1 Louisa Alice Weary for decree o1 nullity in respect to her marriage with William Weary, of Grays, Essex. The ground of the petition was that she was induced to go through the cere- mony of marriage through the fear and duress of her father, and that she did not understand the nature of the cere- mony. The husband did not defend the action.
 MT. Marsham, counsel for Mrs Weary. explained that in 1891 hii client was living at Grays with her ia ther, William Mum. She was IS years of age, while William Weary was IA ol 15, and lived with his parents at Pur. fleet It was discovered that the girl was likely to become mother, and tc avoid a scandal she was taken to ar aunt In London by her father. and criminal proceedings were threatened by the police against Weary.
 On her fathers instructions she was married at the registry office at Grays Tn reply to the judge, Mrs. Weary said that she did not know what the

Smallest Woman n the World
 to Be Visited by be Stork
Cqaa. Famous Midget Preparing for the AdDent of 7v "< Human DoH-Married Under zhralngLy Ron1antia
Circumstances.

W@7EIIQUITA, the smallest normal RA 1y developed woman in the &9 world, is busy over the tini- est and the daintiest of faces, and the softest f1annels, and sweet sst and oldest little doll clothes. It is because the stork-that same long legged German fellow Herr Grimm used to tell about, with Tapping wings, fluttering on the chimney tops of pal aces and cottages for many century is preparing to pay her a visit at Springfield, O.
 Only the other day the secret leaked out. Chiquita, attending carnival in the Ohio town, tripped and nearly fell, and her physician told her she must forego receiving the public for some time.
 Her boy husband--they called him a boy when he eloped with and married her, little more than year ago, at the age of 17-just walks about the house, rubbing his hands and smiling so pleas antly that it makes every one who sees him feel happy, too. Chiquita, who is no bigger than doll herself, being only 26 inches tall, is so glad thatait is all her doctor can do to keep her from standing on her head, 9 pastime she in dulged in up to the time she assumed the diginities of wifehood.
 Chiquita, off the stage, was known as Espiridiono Cenda. She was born in Matanzas, Cuba, in 1870, and is the eld- est of five children, all others of normal size. Although only a little more than two feet tall, she is admirably propor- tioned. Her hand is three inches. A finger ring three-eighths of an inch in diameter is too large for her thumb, Her head is shapely. and covered with glossy black hair reaching below her waist.
 Frank c. Bostock, the animal trainer, met her in Atlanta, Go He made her tempting offer, and she signed con tract with him for term of years. When Bostock opened at the Pan American exposition at Buffalo, Chi quita was one of the chief features of the show. Up to this time she was heart whole and fancy free.
 In the Bostock band was a cornetist named Tony Woeckner He was only 8 lad. but he was popular Tn time Tony's attentions to Chiquita became so marked that visitors commented on 1t, and the player folk said: Tony is too young" and "Chiquita is too little"
 One night the theater in which Chi- quita played caught fire. Tony was ac- cused of negligence and was discharged

ed on spotless and brilliant record, a generous and never failing good natur6 is intensified by his great personal mag, netism. Last autumn he refused to allow his name to go before the Democratic State Convention at Saratoga, and sincs then he has been proclaimed as the next leader of the Democratic Party in the coming national campaign. The Chief Justice can not be induced to talk pol. itics. Newspaper men find Judge Parker affable and courteous as of old, but won- derfully adroit in turning leading ques. tions off onto discussions about weather. crops and the charms of judicial life. In fact, no man seems to be less interested in politics than this self-same Farmer and Justice.
 When studying law, Judge Parker was 8 student at the Albany Law School. Although his duties are laborious and leave him little time for recreation, Judge Parker lectures twice week to the stu dents. With them he is wonderfully popular. He wildly remembers how he felt when he was a student and be ap- peRls to their heads and to their hearts.

It is accustomed to rear up oh it's hind legs, place it's forepaws on the shelf, and then to the carrier, who knows it, the dog barks out his want and 1t is quickly filled Receiving the bunch of letters and papers, the dog trots off to his home, holding the stuff in its mouth until taken out by it's master.
 This is only one of the tricks of the dog, which is called Max. It will meet the carrier on week days in the street and, looking him squarely in the face, will say, as plainly as if he could speak:
 Anything for Pyle?"
 If there is, the dog gets the mall and takes it to the shop where his master stays on week days.
 Max's almost constant companion is bay horse eight years old, called Jerry. The dog rides Jerry bareback, the latter seeming to have no objec- ton. The horse has a strange fancy for the dog, and being told to kiss Max deliberately lowers it's head and licks the face of the collie. Not long since the horse succeeded in pulling board off his manager and got his head fastened in the opening.

 While he was asleep the Liliputians discovered his presence After short consultation hundreds of them swarmed upon him and securely bound him with miniature ropes.

 V is noted for his rugged good
 health, his untiring energy and
 his ability to resist fatigue. The duties of his important office as Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals impose upon him hours of labor over books, which in itself means close con- fnement. Born on 8 farm at Cortland. N. T., raised in the country and being himself farmer at Esopus on the Hud- son, the Chief Judge loves fresh air. Soon after his election to the greatest prize to be won In the profession of the law in his State, he was compelled to reside in Albany, and he determined to snatch breath of fresh air every morn ing. Rain or shine Chief Judge Parker is to be seen riding his Virginia hunter at Albany. Sometimes alone, more ire quently with. an associate Judge. On Friday evenings he returns to his farm and remains over Sunday, laying out work for the coming week and noting the progress made during his absence Chief Judge Parker is breeder of red poll cattle. The cattle are large, deep red and have no horns. His herd is now famous in the State.
