He learned that the couple had been married 15 years ago, and that three years later, on account of differences caused by the interference of somebody, Mrs. Clark instituted di- voroe proceedings against her hus- band, and was granted decree. She returned to her home in Newburg, and her husband remarried
 Recently Clark's second wife died, and he began a search for his first wife. When he found her in Newburg and ascertained that she had not been married again, he proposed marriage again. Clark returned to Brooklyn and his wife joined him late in the evening.
 They immediately went to the min ister's house. Mrs. Hodgett and her daughter were witnesses of the sec- ond marriage. After the ceremony Mrs. Clark began to sob and, turning to her husband, she said to him: Charley, we should always have been happy but for tn interference of that third person." Clark wiped away his wife's tssrs and escorted her to his home.

MOSQUITOES HARD TO KILL.
Eggs That Have Been Deposited in Ponds That Dry Up Live for
 Many Months.

pr. T. W. Dupree, who ,has been mak- ing investigation of mosquitoes in Louisiana, has reported to the Louis. jana Society of Naturalists that he has found that the eggs of mosquitoes often hatch months after they are laid, especially if they are deposited in ponds which subsequently, dry up, re- ports the New York Sun.
 The conclusion reached by Dr. Du- pree is that the methods which have been used in getting rid of the mosqui- toes by oiling or otherwise treating the ponds during March and April, when the eggs are supposed to be matching, are productive of little ben- eft, as the matching is going on all the time.
 Dr. Dupree found 24 varieties of mosquitoes in Louisiana ponds, most of them in the same ponds. The spe- cies vary from year to year, some va rieties being abundant one year and others the next.

JOHNNIE PROTESTS.
Has Troubles of His own on Account of Trousers That Were
 Made-Overe.

Ma has just fixed over another paiY of Brother Jim's trousers for me, an. she says if rip lem up playin' foot. ball again she'll speak to dad. But what can ma expec'? Pa wears 'em till they're shiny, an then Jim gets 'em an puts on the fnishin' polish When they come to me they're sights An ain't so very pertick Ter, neither, said Johnny, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Ma isn't no expert at fittin' over. She just scissors off the legs, and takes reef in the back-an' I do the rest. If I wasn't read headed an handy with my fists, I'd be in hot water all the time. But the first boy that looks cross-eyed at my made overs and sniggers, gets to lookin pretty serious before the lump on his jaw goes down. They brought a fellow over from the lanyard wunst to have fun with ne. When he sees Jim's pants that was fathers an are now mine, he gives a howl of great joy.
 "Goin' to school or comin' home?' he says, with one eye shut and his tongue stickin' out. It was old joke an I made up my mind that ii he wasn't any better at fightin' than he was at humorousness could lick him all right enough.
 Fathers pants are big for Willie,'' he sang at the top of his voice, and then danced all around me like was bein' burnt at the stake.
 It was too much. let out howl and jumped for him. He was husky scrapper, but he wasn't as mad as me. We pranced and rolled all over the gravel yard and when he hollered enuff those made overs was in rib. bons, an I had to run all the way home-with the people wonderful whether it was fire or a mad dog.
 When ma seen those trousers she threw up her hands.
 What have you been doin', John ?'' she cries.
 "Defen6in' the family honor," says gloom 'ly-like they do in story pa- pers.

A REMARKABLE SHOT.
One Tint Was Fired in the Dark and
 Injured Three. Men a Mile Away.

"One of the best and most remark able shots made during the late war with Spain,'' said gentleman who made an effort to get into the thick of the fight, relates the New Orleans Times Democrat, twas. in my judg- ment, made at Miami, and the man who fired the shot was a Louisiana boy doing duty as a provost guard at the time. It was late at night when the soldiers were reused by the quick, clear crack of 8 Krag-Jorgen- sen on the outskirts of the camp. No particular attention was paid to the matter at first, as only one shot was fired. But with a couple of officers we went out to where the guard was stationed, in order to find out just why it was that he had fired at that time of night. He explained that he had seen man slipping through the bushes some distance away, and had called on him to halt. He failed to obey the command and the guard blazed away at him, more to frighten him into stop than anything else. Of course. the fellow never halted. He was probably too badly fright ened to stop at that time.
 "While we were talking to the guard we heard fearful noise at least half mile from the guards station, and we made break for the place to see what the matter was. We heard several people screaming as if in great agony. Down the road we went at full speed, and in a short while we came upon a little cabin which stood on the roadside. The noise was in this cabin, and never heard such grooming and wailing in my life. We found three men in the house. They were in great agony, and we asked them what was the matter. We have been shot, they said, and sure enough they had been shot. One was shot in the right arm, another in the back and the third in the hip. They had all been wounded by the same bullet. The man who was wounded in the arm was lying on his right side. The ball passed through his arm. Next to him one of his companions was sprawling out on his back, and the bullet split the hide of this part of. his anatomy as smoothly as knife. Then it passed through the ieshy part of the third mans hip and sped on. We could not find the ball. It had passed through the side of the house, wounded the three men in the way indicated, bored through the wall on the oppo. site side and kept on going, and there is no telling how many trees the ball had passed through before it reached the cabin. Now, that cabin was fully half a mile from the point where the guard was stationed, and yet the shot fired had wrought all the havoc we found. The ball had plowed it's way through the woods and into and out of the cabin, and I suppose it is going yet. It shows what kind of guns we fight with in these days :,

n e1na rknb1e Automattc RaIloon.

The French government is interesti ed in scheme for exploring the Sa- hara by balloon. Before aeronauts undertake the trip, however, Q balloon provided with automatic steering and equilibrating apparatus is, if possible, to be sent alone across the desert, from north to south. The north northwest winds which prevail over the Sahara from October until April are depended on to drive the balloon on it's voyage of about 1,400 miles, from Gabes on the Mediterranean to the river Niger. A steel guide-rope 2,4oo feet long governs the ballpon's mo- tions. Whenever it sinks to within 150 feet of the ground, the change in the position of the rope results in the opening of an automatic valve, allow ing the escape of water ballast. As the balloon rises the valve closes. If the experiment succeeds, four aero nauts will try to cross in balloon.-. Youths Companion.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Great ex- citement has been caused at the White House over the report that smallpox may have been transmitted there by n delegation of visiting politicians from Alabama. J. o. Thompson, collector of internal revenue, from Alabama, and two political friends arrived here on Wednesday and went to the Hamilton House, the home of Senator Frye, pres ident pro tenn. of the senate, and a large congressional colony. During the night Collector Thompson was taken ill. and in the morning, while his friends were calling on the president, MT. Thompson's condition became so alarming that the attending physician summoned the District health officer. The latter, it is reported, pronounced MT. Thompson a victim of smallpox and immediately ordered him to be sent to the pesthouse.

CONSTABULARY BILL
House Passes the Philippine
 Measure Slightly Changed.
SENATE DEBATES VEST RESOLUTION
Senator From Missouri Tries to Prove That the Author of the DingIey Law Made Rates High For
 

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.--The house yesterday passed the Philippine con- stabulary bill as it was reported from the committee, except for an amend ment limiting the number of assistant chiefs to four. The bill provides that the chief of the constabulary and the assistant chiefs who are United States army officers shall have the rank, pay and allowances of brigadier general and colonel respectively, the difference between such pay and their pay in their regular grades to be paid out of the Philippine treasury The bill also provides that when the Philippine scouts are ordered to assist the con- stabulary they shall be under the com mand of the chief or assistant chiefs.
 The senate again discussed the Vest resolution requesting the finance com mittee to report bill removing the duty on anthracite coal, and MT. AL drich replied to some of the criticisms of Mir. Vest made last Tuesday. Mir. Aldrich insisted that the resolution would not accomplish the result sought and that it infringed the constitutional rights of the house in respect to reve- nue bills. MT. Aidrich said that a Dem- ocratic senate voted to put duty of 40 cents on coal in 1894 and that they fa- vored free coal except on the day when they could have voted free coal into the tariff bill.
 Mir. Vest in reply said that the 40 cent duty oh coal was the result of hold up" by a few Democratic sena- tors.
 To confirm his assertion that MT. Dingley had made the statement that the Dingley rates were placed high in order to negotiate reciprocity treaties MT. Vest read from letter addressed to him by the editor of the Philadel- phia Bulletin in which the writer de- clared that MT. Dingley made the state ment to one of his Washington corre- spondents. MT. Hale expressed his dis belief in the statement and feelingly re- ferred to MT. Dingley's services to his state and country and paid q high trib- ute to his character.

The Meeting of the Two Leagues Is On
 To-day.

". To-day.
 George Browne. the left fielder of the New York National league team, is back from California, where he has been playing on picked team in San Francisco. On the same team with him was Mertes, the outfielder whom the New York club coaxed away from the Chicago American league team. "Mertes is in first class condition" said Browne yesterday, "and is pleas ed with the fact that he is to play in New York. He is a carpenter and when not playing ball is working on. his houses, of which he owns several in San Francisco. saw Van Haltren on the, Coast, and he told me the leg which he broke last summer is all right again and fully as good as ever. Van is father and is working at that during the off season. The best of the young players I saw in California was Burns second baseman of the san Francisco team. He covers lots of ground either way and stands up at the plate we'll. He did well against Bill Donovan, and Donovan pitched great ball out there. He has more speed than he ever had. and the ball came over the plate no bigger tHan pea. Several big clubs have been af- ter Burns, who used to play With Io- ledo. McCready, the outfielder flSlt Hanlon signed in California, is a tall fellow, and it will be easy for him to make good in any company. He did fine work against the All-American team out theres Schmitt, the Califor- nia pitcher signed by Brooklyn, is small man and a pretty good pitcher. The All-Americans and All-Nationals drew we'll out west and I understand the players cleared up about $500 each.
 Black stockings, belts and caps, with white uniforms at home and Yale gray abroad, will be the professional attire of the New Yorks the coming season.
 Andrew J. Coakley, for two years pitcher on the Holy Cross base ball team, yesterday announced to the fac ulty that he was a professional, having played several games last season with the Philadelphia Athletics under an as- stunned name. This will debar him from playing with his college team next spring.
 Manager Shettsline of the Philadel-, phia Nationals has received the signed contracts of keister, infelder, and Roth, catcher. Keister will be tried at second base, unless Kid Gleason signs. 1t is announced that Hugh Jennings, as great a ball player as ever wore shoe leather and in his prime the king of all shortstops, will not be with the Phila- delphia club again. Shettsline has his eye on Clancy, first baseman of the Worcester team last season.
