NAN PATTERSON TO WED.
Will Remarry Her Former Husband
 Leon C. Martin.


 NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Nan Patter- son, the former .F'loradora' girl, who faced three juries on a charge of hay ing murdered Caesar Young, the book maker, and escaped conviction, is to remarry the husband whom she di- vorced, as alleged, at the instance of Young shortly after the latter became infatuated with the chorus girl. It is not believed by her friends in this city that her latest escapade, involving a friendship with C. Ralph Ash, a lum- Der broker of Duluth, Minn.; the active intervention of the latter's sister, Mrs. V. D. Handy of 75S West End avenue, and the consequent flight of the actress from her New York apartments to her sisters home in Washington. will af- feet adversely the plan of remarriage.
 Her former husband, Leon c. Mar tin, has never wavered in his attach ment to the girl After her release from the Tombs and during her stay at the Hotel York they met frequently until Mr. Martin was called away by his duties as a clerk at Shelter Island hotel. From that time the pair have been in constant correspondence, and according to a friend it has been de cided that Martin at the close of the summer season will take up the duties of a hotel clerk in this city and that his remarriage to his former wife will follow almost immediately.

The celebrated statue of Washington, by Greenough. which stands in the plaza immediately facing the capitol vas the first dark tinge to this piece of marble. and it was assuming the charm of an old world antiquity. but the gen. tlemen of the scrubbine brush In charge Of the capitol decided to make the statue s'as good as new"
 Every particle of weather stain vas religiously scrubbed of and the heroic. half-Hude efHgy of the Father of His Country stood out as white and glisten- ing as the day fl cane from the sculp- tors hands Then the thrifty house keeper started the work on the numer- o1s marble figures that ornament the

This process was an offense to the esthetes, who believe that the charms of outside statuary Is always heightened by the work of the ele. ments This spasm of cleanliness, how ever, has passed, and the capitol stat ues are now allowed to accumulate the evidence of age. There was even prop osition to paint the statue of Freedom on top of the dome but that sacrilege was prevented and the splendid bronze f1g- ure with the green stain of time upon 1t remains untouched.

a posed to give semioficial denial to them, but now they are source of consider able amusement to him. It delights him to spring surprise upon the pub- lie and especially upon the newspa- per men in regard to new appointments in the cabinet. He still chuckles over the way he kept the secret of the selec- tion of Charles J. Bonaparte for the navy portfolio. He announced this se- lection one evening to group of news- paper correspondents and smiling at' their looks of surprise, he remarked: Well; you will admit that for once the president 'scooped' the press"
 There is one member of the cabinet that the political gossips have taken out of it score of times, but who is still firmly fixed This is Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, who has held his place for over six years. Since the death of President Mckinley no mention of cabinet reconstruction has been complete without the prediction that MT. Hitchcock would resign. There have been many changes and with the exception of MT. Hitchcock and Score. tary Wilson and Secretary Hay those who served in the Mckinley cabinet nave all returned to private life and pur- suits. Mr Hitchcock's work in the un- earthing of land frauds and the prose- cution of those engaged in them make him one of the most valuable members of the cabinet, and one on whom Presi- dent Roosevelt relies for honest admin. istration.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson gives promise of breaking all records in hold ing place in a presidents cabinett. On March 5th last he entered upon his ninth year as secretary of agriculture. It is believed to be unprecedented in the his- tory of the government that a cabinet officer should serve through two terms in the same position and enter upon a third term. In all probability MT. Will son will round out 12 years as the head of this. very important department of the government sft

 Frenzied Horse In Tempest.
 SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 17-Through a violent rainstorm, driving along lone mountain road with raving maniac for his companion, was the experience of Dr. William Lynch. He was called by telephone to attend man in the Consumptive hospital, and, not think ing the case serious, went alone in his buggy. He found the subject dement, ed, but seemingly harmless.
 Dr. Lynch placed the man in his buggy and started for home. About midway a heavy storm of lightning, thunder and rain broke. Instantly his patient became violently terror strick- en by the wildness of the storm and was about to jump from the buggy when the doctor grappled with him. Dr. Lynch is powerful man, but he had the time of his life controlling his frenzied companion and preventing his horse from running away. MeanwhSe rain fell as from clOudburst and lightning played about them. More than once the doctor was nearly over- powered and in danger of the maniac carrying out repeated threats to fling him over the steep embankment along which the road ran.
 Another element of danger was pre- sented when the horse was frightened by the shouting of the insane man and the fury of the storm and tried to run AWAY

The Drunkard Bee.

'T have been hearing of the busy bee until I am tired of it." says Drake Watson. "A bee works during the summer and then rests all winter, like a plasterer. And bee has bad habits. Go into a vineyard and you win find bee drunkards around burst ed grapes. The drunkard bees sip up the juice until they become full end then fall to the ground and sleep off their debauch; a drunkard bee knows enough not to go home with a jag."-Kansas City Journal

 Well! It only shows what bad habit lying is. Nora must have fibbed to me, for the pure pleasure of fibbing I'll never dare to trust her again.

 in depth All this accumulation had to be scraped away before the work of paint ing the huge dome could begin. Ever since congress left the capitol last March a force of men have been at work on the rotunda, and more thrill- ing sight than a half dozen painters and cleaners at work sitting on frail seats suspended by ropes from the upper part of the dome could not be imagined. It makes one dizzy to look up and see those workmen with nothing between them and the floor of the dome, 1So feet below. except slight board at tached to two ropes suspended from the rim of the dome.
 The sight of these workmen was a fascinating one, despite its blood-chill- ing character. The thousands of tour ists that thronged to this old building during the summer have carried with them a memory as thrilling as those who witness the most daring mountain climbing feats. A misstep or an un- sound strand in the rope meant horri- ble death for these workmen. The rem ovation of the dome has worked great change in.its appearance.
 The dome is to be further improved by 5000 incandescent lamps which will illuminate it. Heretofore this has been ghostlike place at night. when only a few faint gas jets supplied the light
