General Hazen, while residing at
Fort Gibson, married Miss Nc
Lain, of Cincinnati, now the wife
Of Admiral Dewey. She is said TO
have been the most stylish woman

Back in the free air of her native

the trouble with her eyes is still SER

Special Correspondence of The In
ter Ocean.
SEATTLE Wash, Aug. 20.-The
rich gold strike of Captain Charles
Vader in the famous Meteor mining
district on the Colville Indian res
ervation, about which the Western
newspapers have been printing
glowing accounts, has brought to
light a strange story that is being
told in the clubs and cafes of Seat
tie.
Years ago gypsy fortune teller
in one of the mining camps Of the
great country now known as the
state of Washington induced Cap
tain Vader to allow her to read his
palm. The captain was then a
young man.
Il do not believe in palmistry,"
he told her. But he submitted to the
ordeal.
"One day you will be rich," the
fortune teller whispered.
The men standing within hearing
laughed. They were rough miners,
and Captain Vader feared their
coarse 5ests, as all young men fear
ridtcule. He attempted to draw away
his hand.
Some day you will be rich," re-
peated the old woman, still clinging
to 1t and fixing her eyes on the
palm. Some day you will be rich,
but 1t will be when the frosts have
touched your hair, when your youth
is gone. Your fortune will not be a
sman one, Of the kind that men see
on every hand. And you will make
others rich with you. Some day you
will find gold, great quantities Of
gold, and your discovery will be
heralded through countries which
you have never seen. You will find
treasure where others have looked
and failed. In the meantime you
will make several small fortunes,
bat you will lose them. The big
strike will come later. Be steadfast
and true, and your days will be long
and filled with sunshine at the end"
