Lighthouse fin Lake Superior Fifty
 Miles from Nearest Port.
 Milwaukee Sentinel. &
 Out of sight of land, perched on a pinnacle of rock far out in Lake Supe- rior and visible only to lake craft which make Marquette and other ports along the south shore east of Kewee- naw point or those which play from one end of the lake to the other, Is a conical gray stone tower rising 102 feet above the level of the water and from which every night during the sea- son of navigation there flashes a white light every thirty seconds, warning navigators of the danger zone. This is Stannard rock lighthouse-the lone Hest spot on the big inland sea-of which Captain Chambers of Mackinac Island is keeper.
 So isolated is the lighthouse that the nearest port-Marquette-is more than fifty miles distant, while the nearest land of any description is Manitou isl- and. In clear weather the light Is vis- ible for a distance of over eighteen miles. and in thick weather there Is a ten-inch steam whistle to give warn ing to passing craft.
 During the season of navigation the keeper and his assistants while at the rock look out on nothing but sky and water except when they see a passing ship in the distance or the lighthouse tender visits them with supplies.
 The rock itself rises from two and a half to three feet above the level of the lake and is but fifteen or twenty feet in diameter. This pinnicle marks the site of a dangerous shoal extending north by west and south by east for 290 feet, with a width of I,5OO feet. Close around it, however, is some of the deepest water in Lake Superior. soundings having been taken for 600 feet.
 In the early days of the lighthouse the keeper had only one or two assist ants and there were periods of months that he never got away from his post, The Government. however, soon real 'lzed the undesirability of such lone some service and the difficulty of get ting men who would stay on the rock for so long stretch. In later years there have been four men, including the keeper, to care for the light and the fog whistle, and by an arrange ment between them two are on duty all the time.
 The lighthouse can be approached only on one side. and then when tbA water is smooth, for there is an abrunt wall at the top of the platform. some thirty feet high. and the boat and all the supplies are hauled up by a derrick There have been many occasions when the returning keepers found a heavy sea running at the lighthouse. so that they could not approach, and have had to take chances of laying for hours in their little craft--not the safest thins to do on Lake Superior--or of makine for the nearest shelter, miles away.

Has Tied Over 2.800 Matrimonial Knots

 New York Tribune.
 The Rev. Alfred Harrison Bur roughs, of Bristol, Va, who is known over a large portion of the south as the Marrying Parson." has perhaps ofriciated in more marriage ceremo- nieS than any other man in America. In fact, persons seeking his services for matrimonial rites have been so nu- merous that he has given up paying ministerial charge and a large hotel business to devote his time exclusive ly to this joyful occupation, which has also proved lucrative. He is perhaps the only man in the United States who depends wholly on fees thus obtained for a livelihood, and in the twelve years he has been engaged in this bu- siness he has saved considerable money besides living well.
 few weeks ago about dusk. a stalwart mountaineer drove up to his door with a large load of corn shucks, and called vociferously for the par son. When the minister appeared he made arrangements for a marriage ceremony which he said must take place without delay or persons in hot pursuit would foil his purpose.
 But. sir. where is the bride? She must be present at the ceremony quoth the parson."
 With a quizzicaI look he responded.
 Make your arrangements quickly and the girl will be on hand"
 Only few moments were necessary to comply with the legal requisites, and the parson announced his readi- ness. The bridegroom turned to his wagon and, raking away the shucks, lifted therefrom pretty. blushing maiden of IT, whose rosy cheeks s-a

A DOUBLE MURDER IN TACOMA

A DOUBLE MURDER IN TACOMA
A horrible tragedy took place At Ia.
coma Wednesday. AL. Smith, a gam
bier by occupation, shot and killed his
wife, her brother L. L. johnson and
wounded the latter victims wife, at
noon Wednesday. Smith then escaped
to the woods. It seems that Smith
was attempting a reconciliation with
his wife. who was sister of Johnson,
and being under his protection since
leaving her husband about year ago,
he was opposing. This led to quar-
rel when Smith shot johnson, killing
him instantly. He then sent a bullet
through his wife's head and wounded
Johnson's wife who had started to run.
Her wounds are not, however, danger

rounding counties secured the woods

found dead yesterday morning, from
the effects OF carbolic aid.

The Sober Second Thought.

1t seems that the more the commit
tee Of the Council, charged with con
sidtrlng the matter of condemnation
Of the city water works with IA view Of
acquiring the plant by purchase and
dispensing the supply as a public util-
ity and the people paying the cost, the
less faith they have in its being a
sound, safe or economical business
proposition. To acquire the property
OF the existing water company will me-
cessarily be costly, encountered as it is
by bonded mortgage, which it is I'M
possible to evade, and that plan seems
to be on: Of the question. A separate
plant might so far conflict with vested
rights rs to result in costly litigation
over rights granted the present COM
pany, with much doubt of successful
issue, and to operate a public service,
with the old company and hundred
artesian wells in competitive rivalry,
would seem to be the height OF absurd
ity. This is the sensible view OF the
matter, taken at the outset by con-
sentative and thoughtful people, and
has become more firmly implanted as
consideration of ways and means were
planned and apparently insurmount-
able obstacles encountered. 1t is now
quite commonly regarded as veritable
white elephant"
In fact, aside from the desire OF GER
tain politicians to formulate popular
issue, the proposition has had very
little support. The presumed popu-
larity of the plan was largely aug
mented by the fact that Olympia Is
noted for kickers, and it is easy to
muster them at times by vigorous ef-
fort and persistent promises Of bless
ings to flow from extending the salary
list, and the object lesson taught by
the class Of people sometimes selected
to fill them, wherein there is steady
flow of aid from the official counter,
without uncertainty and doubt that
sometimes holds down tho wage-rate
method OF living.
The outcome would be ideal il there
were Offices enough to go round, and
nobody had to pay the bills. But nei-
Their OF these things are true but the
bare possibility of lightning striking
has sometimes been quite enough in
element for action, though the result

in dry. goods store. In 1887 he be.
came convert to Christianity and an
active worker in religious welfare.
The first movement to transplant the
order to this country was in 1851,
when it began growth in Montreal,
Boston and New York. 1t then spread
to France and Germany, since which
time it has made its appearance
throughout the civilized world, and
even the Orient. During the late war

A LEGAL Sensation.

ity who would be suspected Of tigamy
l. Thomas !. lii,lcr, Mayor OF Tum.
water, once State Senator from this
district, local politician OF some note
and HOW engaged in the cigar business
in this city. The denouement came
this week when he filed an applica-
ton for "A divorce from his first wife,
who hc married under the name of
Henry Howard, in Illinois, in 1888,
although he was known to her us
Charles Howard. Miller claims in his
complaint that he married the girl to
undo II wrong. and rs he had married
her under an assumed name, that they
both believed the ceremony wa. illegal,
and she subsequently married, and it
WAS under the name OF Mrs. William
Greenleaf she made a claim against
the estate of Laclede Howard, deceased,
as the former wife Of Henry, or
Charles, Howard. 1t was the inves,i-
CATION OF title to this claim which has
led to the discovery that Mr.. Miller is
a much married man, for fifteen years
ago he was united in wedlock to Miss
Margaret X. Stewart, of Aberdeen,
with whom he has since lived and by
whom he has a son.
A few days ago, on the appearance
OF ST. Louis attorney to investigate
the Greenleaf claim, and learning that
his first marriage was legal, he imme-
diately separated from his present com.
panion and applied for divorce from
bis wife of quarter of q century ago, so
that he may be legally reunited to the
woman who now bears his name. Mr..
Israel is his lawyer, and we cannot see
how the ends OF justice may be sub.
served by refusal of the decree. 1t
shows bad state OF affairs from the
beginning: the wrong done to the
girl, the masquerading under an as
sumed name, the assumption that a
marriage could have been void under
such circumstances; his subsequent
marriage while he must have known
that no such tie is invalid from mere
formality, are circumstances that can
not he condoned, although the mantle
of charity may be ample to cover the
wounds inflicted to the innocent par
ties to the act. The result shows that
retribution follows in the footsteps of
crime, and discovery comes soon or
late to confront the evil doer. The
concatenation OF circumstances that
seemed to impel Mr.. Miller in his sue.
cessive acts are no excuse. If he ex-
pected to make atonement, it should
have been by righteous method; but
having appeared under one assumed
name, it seems he adopted another at
the altar, OF which both the contract
ing parties had cognizance.
The object of the search having
established the identity OF the man
who figured under the assumed name
with Thomas ]. Miller, it of course
ends Mrs. Greenleaf's claim to any
part of the Howard estate, and that is
the whole object of the inquiry made,
so nobody is injured, except in trouble,
vexation and costs of search, and the
whole matter will probably have no
higher purpose than to emphasize the
well-known couplet:

When e'er We practice to deceiye''
