Come Coax Me-

Jersey Shore, Pa, Aug. 20. Come
Coax Me" was the title of song which
pretty 1S-year-old Miss Lola Miller sang
at an smsteur minstrel performance here
last winter. The song made great hit,
and the soloist was recalled for several
encOres.
But there was one in the audience who
was hit quite differently from the Others.
He was Arthur Hammond. The plead
ing words of the ballad struck respon-
sive cord in his heart, and he sought out
the sOloist after the performance to con-
graduate her and to admire her at closer
range.
Yesterday the song bore fruit in real
ity, when word was received from Corn
ing. n. Y, that Hammond and Miss
Miller had eloped and been married
there.
1t has since developed that Hammond,
after coaxing and winning the hand of
the singer, had attempted 20 coax her
father to consent to the marriage, but
"Papa" Miller objected because of the
tender age Of his daughter.
Then there was some more coaxing,
cIandestine planning and an elopement.
Mr. Hammond aud bride have written
to the Millers coaxing for forgiveness
when they return.

ALL THINGS COME TO HIM WHO
WATTS

Hon. CLAUDE A. SWANSON was yes
terday nominated as the democratic can
didate for Governor of the State of Vir-
ginia. Capt. Joseph f. Willard and
Judge w. II. Mann, were his opponents.
Alexandra repeated the act Of fouryeals
ago by rolling up another majority for Mr..
Swanson. In 1901, however, it was not
the will Of the democratic party of the
State that he should be the standard
bearer, and when his services were de-
clined ne did not sulk in his tent, but
went from place to place making speech
Is in the interest of A. J. Montague and
against the late J. Hampton Hoge, the
republican nominee. His services have
been Justly recognized by his party, and
he is now their nominee The career of
Mr.. Swanson is interesting and is an
other illustration of the opportunity af-
forded by our free institutions for the
country boy, minus ancestral lustre or
fortune, to make his way to prominence
by his own energy and genius. A pub
lie man almost from his entry into man
hood, he was soon in the front rank
OF Virginia's representative men, and
for fourteen years has been a promi-
nent figure in the Congress of the
United States. He will fill the guber-
material chair with honor to himself
aud the people he will represent. His
many friends in Alexandria, who have
on two occasions manifested their APP
probation of him, rejoice with him in
attaining the position tor which he told
us few weeks ago he had entertained an
honest ambition ever since his boyhood
DAYS on Nirginin farm.

The Sultan of SnIu,s pronosaI.

The friends of Miss Alice Roosevelt in
Washington are much interested in the
offer of the Sultan of Sulu to make the
Presidents charming daughter his Sui
tana. Those who have lived in the
Philippines and know the customs of the
natives on the various islands are ex-
planning the offer of marriage. by saying
that among the Sulus it is considered q
great mark Of courtesy to propose to
female visitor of distinction, and that the
Sultan was only following the custom of
his people when he made the proposal of
marriage to Miss Roosevelt. He thought
he was paying her a great mark of cour-
tesy and distinction. 1t is said that the
Sultan, since the American occupation,
has proposed marriage to almost every
American beauty who has visited his
court. When his offer has been declined
he has presented the lady with mag
nifeent gift as souvenir OF her visit
and token of his regard. II is sup
posed that he will follow this custom al
so in Miss ROoseve!t's case and present
her with some beautiful and rare sOuye-
mir. The Sultan is at present greatly
interested in the pearl fisheries off the
coasts of his islands, and has made a
magnificent collection OF beautiful and
costly pearls, and it is not unlikely that
his gift to Miss Roosevelt will be strings
of these pearls.

The State Election.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette
Richmond, Va, Aug. 20. Few adj
ditional returns from yesterdays primar-
les had reached the city at noon today.
Enough is known, however, to justify
the statement that Senator Martin car
ried every congressional district in the
State with the possible exception of the
Sixth.
Senator Martins majority is estimated
at about $4,000, and it may 60 higher.
Congressman Swanson's plurality is
probably in excess of 10000. Head
quarters of the winning candidates are
in a state of happy confusion and con-
gratulatory kilograms have poured in by
the hundreds all day.
The surprise was the poor showing
made by Lieutenant Governor Willard.
While it was generally conceded that
Swanson would be the nominee, it was
believed that Willard would poll much
larger vote shan he did.

RAIN, WIND AND HAIL.

A dispatch from st. Paul, Mimi, says
that devastation, terrible and complete,
was wrought on all sides of the Twin
Cities by the storm of Sunday night.
Through all the region from Anoka to
Fillmore counties reports tell OF disaster
and loss of life and property. Members
of families are missing, and it is believed
they are buried under the debris which
was strewn broadcast by the wind.
Many instances of maimingare reported,
and the total loss Of life will not be
known for some days. Crops which had
been cut and ready for threshing suffered
in many places, and standing corn was
damaged 10y hail and wind Hail
stones several inches in circumference
worked havoc with the crops in some
sections. Large sections of railroad
tracks were swept away. In some
of the farming localities the grain
was stripped from the stalks even
in TIE shocks by the furious wind and
rain, and hays.acks were completely de-
mOlished. Huge trees which have sue
cessfully withstood the storms of years
were uprooted and hurled before the
wind, and barns and other Outbuildings
and crops were completely destroyed.
The damage done to buildings and crops
in the southern counties will reach many
thousands of dollars. All sections re-
port that the storm was cyclonic in its
nature, and from some points reports
tell of a funnel-shaped cloud that de-
cended with the most intense fury,
leaving destruction in its path.
+. A terrific electrical storm, accom-
panied by deluge OF hailstones of enor-
NOUS size, broke upon Schenectady, NJ
y, yesterday afternoon. The storm
came almost without warning, and the
temperature dropped IS degrees in less
than five minutes. The hailstones.
which varied from the size of the ordi-
nary marbles to pieces Of ice as big as
snOwballs, came down at a sharp angle
directly out Of the west. Windows
were smashed as if bullets had
UttH HItu tnIOugH lHeh' anu |nS
broken glass was in many instances
hurled across the floors of buildings.
There is scarcely building in town with
western exposure but has windows
broken. bushels of hailstOnes were
gathered after the storm, which lasted
only 10 minutes. One picked up at the
city pumping station by actual measure
ment was four and one-quarter by two
and five-eights inches in dimension, and
is supposed to be the largest on record.
The hailstones were of pc uliar fJrma-
ton, the larger ones being of concave
shape with sharp upturned edges. These
edges were sharp and the stones were
hard as flint cutting the flesh like
knife. Many persons were out, and sew
eral horses struck by the stones ran
away and added to the general excite
ment which prevailed. Advices from
the country districts say the hail did
great damage TO the fruit crops, trees
and flower beds.

The little daughter OF Mrs. John Lea,
lately widow by the supposed suicide
of her husband, a sawmill man who re-
sided near Cleveland, Tenn, yesterday
confessed to her grandmother at Muir
ray, Ga, where she had been sent on q
visit, that her mother and James Hix,
also a sawmill man, who boarded at the
home of the Leas, killed her father. Lea
was found hanging by rope, which was
attached to one Of the beams of the saw
mill, his neck broken. A cOroner's Jury
pronounced him a suicide. Then Xix
and Mrs. Lea disappeared. The little
girl declares Xix held her father while
her mother broke his neck with a weap-
on. Xix telling her where to strike. The
child says they threatened to kill her if
she told. Hix has been arrested at
Spring Place, Ga, and officers are look
ing for Mrs. Lea at Sherman Heights,
Tenn, where she is visiting.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. %, 1905
VOX POPULI.

The long anticipated primary election
has been held and the unmistakable voice
of the people has declined the profered
services Of Governor A. j. Montague to
represent Virginia in the United States
Senate. Senator THOMAS 5. MARTIN will
therefore succeed himself and add at least
six more years to his past services IN be-
half of the Old Dominion. There never
has been any reason why this should not
have been the case. His record has been
laid before the voters Of the State during
the past few months, and it has been
studied from every standpoint by friends
and foes hence it is unnecessary to
thresh it over again. The majority OF
the people have signifed their desire that
he continue his services. This is an
end of all controversy. The Legislature
will affirm the action Of the people. In
this connection it may be observed that
the impression on the part OF some that
Mr.. Martin would not appeal TO the peo-
pie as he has on other occasions to their
representatives proves to have been the
veriest of all Authorizations. During the
late canvass Senator Martin has ably an
swered every objection brought against
him by Governor Montague and his
champions, and the flimsy structure
upon which the criticisms of the Govern
or has been based has been swept away
as chaf from the summer threshing floor.
The warfare made upon the Senator by
his would-be successor, while party
struggle and which should have been con
Quoted as family matter, was not at all
times what it should have been. There
were instances when the structures SAVIOR
ed of bitterness and some utterances ten
ded but little toward making votes for the
Senator's opponent. There seemed at
all times TO have been a glad;atolial
spirit and a thirst for a combat upon the
stump, where the contestants would
merely demonstrate who possessed most
oratorial powers. Such an arena would
not have displayed the mentality ofeither
to advantage, as bitterness would proba-
bly, have, cast into eclipse the worth Of
both contestants. Besides we live in
day " hen mans worth is not measured
by his volubility, but by his actual use
fulness and good judgment which counts
more than Fourth of July orations or
speeches at county fairs. There is no
intention of minimizing Governor Mon
tague's worth as public servant. He
has made a good Governor and would
doubtless have represented the State in
the Senate in a cre1itable manner. He,
however, would be no improvement on
Mr.. Martin, and a majority of the voters
have invited the latter TO continue in hi,
present position.

The Taggart Divorce Case

Wooster, o Aug. %. -Brigadier Gen
eral Miner was on the stand when court
opened in the Taggart divorce trial this
morning. Miners admission made late
yesterday, that bis annual report made
at the time he is accused of conspiracy
agains; Captain Taggart contains demer-
its that should not be in it, and omits
merits that should be included, was taken
up. Attorneys for Mrs. Taggart asked
that the testimony should be ruled cut
on the ground that Miners report to the
War Department was privileged COM
munication. The motion was refused
by Judge Eason. During the examina-
ton that followed Col. Miner denied he
had ever pinched Mrs. Taggarts neither
limb, or said he would like to call on
her when Taggart was not at home.
Questioned further, Miner said Taggart's
amended divorce petition, filed last
spring, charging an officer with miscOn-
duct with Mrs. Taggart had helped to
convince him that Taggart was still
mentally unsound.
