BRIDE AND GROOM
PHOTOGRAPH HE'D
AND TRIED TO CASH CHECK.
VIEW FEATURE IN THE FORGERY
CASE HAS COME no LIGHT.

vn.5 IT. Hone Called with His Bride
- studio of NJ. Ed. Wilson ana
wanted Photographers to Cash
SzOO Check-This Captain Wilson
Inclined to Do, But Picture Was
TaLen-BOne VIII Be Given a
,rooriur Before Recorder Myrick
This Morning.
At the studio of NJ. Ed. Wilson, where
,a went to have his picture taken with
his bride, Fred T. Bone, the young
man now confined at the police station
nm the charge of forgery, tried to get
cant Wilson to cash a $500 check for
him.
Cant. Wilson declined to cash the
check. but took the picture. These pic
lures have been finished, but have not
bAen called for. The picture is a good
one of both the bride and groom. They
were taken side by side, just as young
couple might be expected to have
photograph taken.
Rome will be given a hearing before
Recorder Myrick this morning. The
check which he forged and gave to
Proprietor Graham, of the Pulaski
House. was returned from Jackson
Vile yesterday morning, and is now In
the hands of the police to be used as
evidence. Bone, however, admits his
suilt. so there is no doubt that he
will be turned over to the Superior
Court.
Bone COnfesses Freely.
Jacksonville papers, which arrived
yesterday morning, told of some
strange proceedings of Bone, besides
the several forgery cases which ne ad-
Irjts. He is charged with having or
dered goods from various merchants TO
be sent to A. T. Squires, Omega, Fla,
the man whose name he forged. Bone
ADMITS this along with his other
crimes
game" he said, in explanation. The
logged checks would have been no
good, unless 1 did that. 1 needed the
merchants to take the checks, or in
dorse them, and 1 got them that
way"
Bone does not appear to be at all
worried about the trouble he has got
ten into. He was greatly interested to
know whether he would be tried here,
than this he did not seem to care. He
expressed a decided preference to be
tried in Georgia. Unless there is
some hitch in making out the case here,
it is not thought he will be taken back
to Jacksonville.
Bride remains Faithful.
Mrs. Bone, the bride of a week, is
still at the Pulaski House. Her de-
votion to Bone during the trouble has
been remarkable. Plunged into almost
delirious grief when she first heard of
her husbands arrest, she rallied at
once and has since devoted herself to
making him more comfortable in priS-
on quarters. She is frequent caller
at police headquarters. Yesterday she
carried her husband cake and other
delicacies. besides a lot of cigarettes.
Mrs. Bone is determined to stand by
her husband. If he is tried in Savan-
nah she proposes to stay here. If he
is taken back to Jacksonville, she in
tends to return with him. She has
already been negotiating for a posi-
ton here and has been practically
promised one, in the event she remains
in Savannah.

Life on Other Planets.

Upon the question whether life
bearing planets can exist in other So
lar systems than our own the answer
of science is clear and distinct. 1t is
precisely the same which Prof. New
comb rec emily gave concerning the
possible inhabitants of Mars. The
reader knows just as much of the sub
iect as l do, and that is nothing at all.
Within our solar system we can in
deed form some crude estimate Of pro-
liabilities; beyond it, nothing. All
the amazing progress ofmodern soience'
all the revelation made by the spec
troscope or by photography, all the
advance in biology have not, brought
us one step nearer an answer to the
question, us this the only inhabited
world?' We stand essentially where

length than our predecessors, and can

or less irrelevant facts. but of serious
argument, either for or against, We

Noise as a Curative Agent.

The Chinese doctor sets up terri
bic racket when called to treat the sick.
This is supposed to drive evil spirits
away, and it unquestiOnably acts well
in a great many cases. Civilization
demands rest and quiet; all noise is
barred from the sick room.
The Chinese have demonstrated,
unkuowingly. great psychological or
psychopathological fact. A patient
of mine had received the last rite, Of

coma which precedes death. Some

ANVIL Chorus from II Trovatore.
I was very much annoyed and dis

ly the pulsation at the wrist began
again, the patient gradually opened

bent low and he whispered in her ear,
