WOMAN HAD TWO HUSBANDS.

WOMAN HAD TWO HUSBANDS.
 The action against Henry T. Golden, of 26 Ann street, brought by his wife, who charged him with non-support, was heard in the city court by Judge MatheWson yesterday and it disclosed B queer matrimonial tangle. Golden admitted that he had not supported the woman, but asserted that she was Belf-eonfessed bigamist. A marriage license testifying to this fact from the office of the registrar of vital statistics in Hartford was produced to substan- tiate the fact. The complainant ad- mitted she had had no divorce and said she had heard that her first husband was dead. This benedict, however, mounted the witness stand and showed that he was very much alive. He ap- pealed to Mrs. Golden to recognize him. but she would not do so. He gave his name as George Franklin Peck, of Hockanum, this state. The witness appeared in court in highly drunken condition and was removed to the cooler" Golden was discharged. Mrs Golden made a hasty exit.

SERPENT OF THE SEA
MONSTER so OFTEN DESCRIBED
Is THE GARFisH.
Exceedingly Rare Specimen Of This
Denizen of the Deep Recently Sc
cured-Its Remarkable Resemblance
to a Snake.

Through the intelligent interest OF
Mr.. Robert s. Meyer, keeper of the
light station at Anclote Keys, Florida,
the Bureau of Fisheries has received
an account of the capture at that
place of specimen of a remarkable
fish not previously known from any
point on the Atlantic coast of America
says Forest and Stream.
Mr.. Myers says: 'I inc1ose a rough
sketch Of a part of a fish which was
killed by a shark Sunday, the 18th of
February, and which drifted upon the
beach on west side of the light. The
part which came on shore was feet
long. about 9 inches wide, and inch
es thick. The skin was like bright
silver, with no scales, with black
marks, as shown in the sketch. Eight
blood red plumes which come out at
the top of the head were each about
% inches long. One long plume, SO
inches long, came out of the under
jaw. All the plumes or fins were blood
red. The plumes could open at the
ends and look like small fans as shown
in the sketch. Could you kindly tell
me the name of the fish described?"
This description, together with the
very good sketch accompanying it,
leaves no room for doubt that the
strange fish was a specimen of the
garfish. Regalecus glesne, described
originally in 1888 by Ascanius fron a
specimen which came ashore at Giles
vaer, Norway
These fishes are very remarkable.
not only on account of their peculiar
appearance and structure, but because
of their enormous size. They have
been known to attain a length of 20
feet, and it is not at all improbable
that they reach even much greater
length. Many of the creatures popu-
larly identified as "sea serpents" were
doubtless large individuals of this fish.
Indeed, as Goode and Bean remark, it
IS quite safe to assign to this group
have been described as swimming ra-
pidly at or near the surface, with a
horselike head raised above the water,
surmounted by a manelike crest of
red or brown.
These fishes are true deep-sea fishes
likely to be met with in any or all
parts of the oceans. They are gener-
ally found when floating dead on the
surface or thrown ashore by the
waves. Their body is like a band,
specimens Is to 20 feet long being
only 10 to IL inches deep, and 1 to 2
inches broad in their thickest part.

SAVED BY A MIRACLE.
7icyeiist, Riding in the Dark, Missed
Death by a Hair.

Death by Hair.
Some years ago I had an escape
that seems almost incredible. had
been for long bicycle ride, and was
returning home very late at night. It
was pitch dark, and, to make matters
worse, my lamp had burnt out, and,
being of reckless nature, continued
to pedal along swiftly. All of sud-
den l felt myself bouncing about as
if I was on a spring board. The mo-
ton stopped after a few seconds, and
1 alighted and struck a match. The
scene Mortified me. I had crossed
corner of a quarry on some planks
that were laid across for the men to
wheel over. Had I swerved a hairs
breadth I should have been dashed to
atoms. I dare not ride again that
night, but sat down on a stone and pa
tiently awaited daybreak, when I
found that, instead of keeping to the
highway, l had entered through
gateway that led direct to the quarry.
I could not have accomplished the.
feat of riding over that bridge by day
light if offered thousand pounds, and
the incident so unnerved me that I
have never ridden a bike" since

A Tied GirdIe.


1t is quite possible to have differ
ent girdle for every gown and to have
them look natty and nice with no trou-
BILE at all by adopting the following
plan:
Take two yards and half of rib
bon, more or less, according to the
waist measure. After skirt and waist
are properly adjusted place the center
of the ribbon at the center of the waist
front. Run the ribbon around the
waist, cross at the back and bring
the ends in front again. Cross them
In the middle and pin securely with
a safety pin, through bodice and cor
set and tie the remaining ends in
smart little bow exactly over the pin.
which is put in "blindly," that is, just
under the edge of the ribbon; this
edge is turned over and covers the
fastening. The same applies to the
piont in front.
When properly put on and fastened
this girdle bears all the earmarks of
the latest thing in French belts, even
to the jaunty bow in front and no one
would guess that it owed its style to
one large safety pin and a piece of rib
bon.

A NiohtinoaIe schooI.

In Russia, when a person happens
20 possess a nightingale which is
good singer, the bird is made a sort
of teacher of music to others of his
kind in the neighborhood. Many Rus
SLAMS seem to be in the habit of keep
ing pet nightingales; and the neigh
bors bring their cakes to the owner
of the finest one, that the inexperien-
ced birds may listen to the singing of
their master. The birds are reported
as keeping quiet and listening intent
ly. Then after awhile they venture
note or two, then another, and anoth-
er, till they have caught the song and
can go through with it. 1t is said that
the nightingale sits in apparent medi-
tation as if inwardIy rehearsing and
then bursts out into song.

Ornaments That Are New.

Brooches and pins offer a plethora
of choice. Three little chicks, with
diamond eyes and bills of pale yellow
enamel, standing on a bar of gold,
make novel design. Very attractive
brooches have the maidenhair fern.
the lily -of-the-valley and the snowdrop
treated with great delicacy and skill.
Fine enamels are employed for the
leaves and drop pearls for the flow
ers.
Endless are the devices for pend
ants and necklaces. The dainty chains
passing through a jeweled slide OF
dewdrop-like scroll work, with pend
ant pearls set tasselwise as a finish
gives charming effect. The rope of
pearls used as a necklace, with slide.
and terminating in veritable tassels of
pearls is also uncommon. Pendants in
festoon effect and the matrix in gold
and enamels are among the choice de-
signs.

The New Petticoat.

Women should be grateful to Lady
Wheatman Pearson for bringing an in
novation in petticoats. The new petit
coat is made of white kid, about the
thickness of a glove, and reaches just
below the knees, where fOunces OF
lace or silk are buttoned on. These
ruff1es can be taken off easily and
changed to suit the wearer's pleasure.
AS Lady Pearson is the wife of an
enormously wealthy contractor, she
probably did not adopt this garment
because of its economy, but rather for
the smoothness of it's fit. Probably it
has been a potent factor in earning
for her a reputation of having one OF
the most graceful figures in London.
