liam Hail. who Is engaged to marry a
prominent society leader Of Susquehanna
county and an heiress
Nothing was thought of the matter until
some person called. the attention Of Hall s
fancee to the fact that her sweetheart
was already welded, having been married
by minister. The story that started as
joke was found to be too true, the hus-
band in his official capacity having un-
Willingly pronounced the fatal words.
It did not make so much difference to
Mr.. Hayes and his wife as neither recog-
nized the legality of the wedding, but with
the Syoung woman 1t was different In vain
Hall protested it was all joke and that
really there was no marriage. She replied
that under the state law the ceremony was
legal and said she would never marry q
man when this question hung over him.
Then Hall wanted to take the matter into
court but Mr.. Hayes objected to having
his wife's name mixed up in divorce pro-
ceedings no matter how innocently.

HANNA HAS WEAK HEART

New York. Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service,
Washington. Sept. 3.-Senator Hanna's
illness has caused no little alarm among
his friends here. It is not generally known
but it Is true, that about two years ago
Senator Hanna had some. trouble with his
heart ... Z.
He went to New York and consulted the
most eminent specialist to be found there
You may live good many years. was
the verdict of the specialist, 'but you
must be very careful; excitement, strain
or overwork may produce the most disas-
trous consequences. You must go slow
and learn to take it easy, or your heart
will 80 back on YOU"
, From that day to this Senator Hanna
has tried to follow the advice Of his m edi-
cal adviser. In this affection of his heart
Is found one of the reasons why Mr..
Hanna has decided to keep out Of active
politics as much as possible and it also
explains why he is so determined not to
be the manager of the Roosevelt campaign
next year. The president and his friends
hoped to prevail upon Mr.. Hanna, to re-
tain the Craftsmanship of the national re-
publican committee and let other men do
all the hard work, but it is feared that
his present illness may make it impossible
for them to prevail upon the senator to
do even that much - X - 4.

Lancaster, Pa, Sept. 3.-In the late in,
terview at Warm Sulphur Springs Va,
with Editor Steinman of the Lancaster
Intelligencer, Senator John T. Morgan of
Alabama advocated the adoption Of a
novel financial scheme by the democrats
in the presidential campaign ,.Es" -
1t Is the adoption Of gold and silver on
a parity as money, the government i'm
pressing it's stamped value on the coins
and issuing and receiving them at that
value. The plan opposes further use Of
the national debt as a basis for the ma
tional currency, and requires banks to
surrender government bonds on demand
and to hold an equal amount of gold and
silver coins, these coins to be behind
bank notes instead of bonds; coins, not
bullion, to be the basis of circulation
National banks are to be the medium Of
supplying bank notes to the country in
return for the governments protection.

Prevalent in Cuba.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Sept. 3.-According to the
experts in the pathological department Of
Columbia university, the plague that is
sweeping over Cuba is typhus fever In its

reached this conclusion after careful
study of the symptoms, but they have
not yet made scientific diagnosis of the

make definite report
e DR.. Eugene Hodenpyl, in charge of the
pathological department in the absence of
DIR. Pruden, says that from his observa-
ton the district in Cuba where the strange
plague appeared is simply a generating
bed Of typhus germs, Like other forms
of fever, the disease is infectious but not
not contagious.
There is no denying that may be in
error, since / have not made a scientific
research into this malady / he said. 1T
may be an entirly new disease for the
medical profession to meet, but at present
I am inclined to think 1t Is an old one
DR.. A. Bockar, who has worked on the
germs IN. his laboratory, thinks the plague
is a new and most yirulent form Of mala-
rial fever.
