acquainted with was Miss Nellie

most respectable families. He be-
gan paying the young lady atten-

married. Last summer the fact de-
ysIoped that Wilson had wife in
Kansas and complaint charging
him with bigamy was Immediately
preferred against him. Soon after
has arrest Wilson admitted his guilt
aud said he would plead guilty as
soon as court convened.
1t seems that there were two cases
of forgery against Il. Baker yester-
day afternoon. He entered a plea
of guilty 10 the second charge after
the paper had gone to press. The
jury fixed his punishment at term
of two years in the penitentiary, the
same sentence as he received I'm the
first case.
The first case to 90 TO trial was
that of the state against Bill Taylor,
eolored, who was recently indicted
for assault To rape. Nearly the en-
tire morning was dev oted to secur-
ing jury and IL was about 1880
when the first witness was intro-
duced. The prosecuting witness in
this case is Lillian Jackson, a ne
gro girl about nine years old. The
attempt of criminal assault is alleged
to have been committed one night
last August.

MANY WORKS OF MERIT

The eighth annual exhibition of the Wash
ington Water Color Club opens tonight with
reception and private view in the heni-
cycle of the Corcoran Gallery OF Art, and
from Monday November 80. to Wednesday,
December 49, it will be free to the public on
week days from $40 I'm. to 4:30 pm, on
Sunday afternoons. and on Monday and
Thursday evenings.
For number of years the exhibitions
given by this club have been notable affairs,
comparing more than favorably with those
given by larger and better known organiZa-
tons in the neighboring cities, and 1t is be-
lieved that this eighth annual will be found
well up to the traditional standard. At a
glance it is not an impressive show, owing to
the lack of large striking pictures; but after
a few moments inspection its true worth re-
vealS itself Two rows of pictures are hung
around the entire wall of the hemicycle, and
not one of the number is without genuine
merit There a few works which are
notably fine there are many which are
thoroughly good. and there Is almost none
which Is without interest. In this day Of

The habits of people in general do not

The alimentary receptacle-the stomach

by many persons into a chemical retort of

the various organs of the body, from dam
duff to cOrns. The writer believes that he

Mrs. Andrews sends from her attractive
