\ decision handed down by Chan eellor Curl at Hot Springs Friday in the= divorce suit of T. E. Payne vs

 inventions oi Jules Verne. or a Conan Doyle, and effcctually proves the truth of the old saw, Truth ii stranger than fiction" Those who have read Enoch Arden will see III the ease of Mrs Payne and her long lost husband, and her second mar riaSe, one almost identical with the remarkable tale of Tennyson $.
 More than fifteen years ago Dock Goshen and the woman who I'D to the time of the granting of the decree Friday Was known as Mrs Payne liv- ed in Cleveland county They were svss@hearts in their childhood days, and when they grew up they were married and removed to the northern part of the state There Dock Gosh en obtained employment in a mine, and for time he and his young wife lived very happy married life, and ill their icy in the present had little thought for what the future might bring forth.
 One day, however, in the mine where Dock was employed. terri ble explosion took place, and a num- ber of miners were killed, and many others We're more or less seriously wounded. Goshen was on the list of the wounded, and was taken to n hos pltai for treatment. By some mis- take his name was printed in the list Of the missing. and the young wife was left, as she believed, widow. She mourned for the partner of her joys and sorrows a long time and then thinking she would be happier among the people she had known in her childhood, moved back to Cleyo- land county.
 After being there some time, she met Payne, and when the sharper edges Of her grief had worn away he began paying his addresses to her She was not unresponsive to his suit and they were married, she never for a moment supposing that she was anything but the widow of poor Dock Gcshen Their life was happy. and three bright and affectionate children We're born to them.
 A few months ago man appeared in the little village where MT. and Mrs. Payne resided, and soon estab. lished beyond doubt the fact that he was Dock Goshen. He had a story tc tell that sounded as improbable

FRUIT IN DANGER FREEZE PREDICTED FOR TO- NIGHT AND MAY RUIN CROP
 IN THIS SECTION, The Unusually Cold Weather Of Last Sunday May Already Have Per.
 manently Injured Trees.

If the predictions of the weather bureau come true, there will be a freeze tonight, which means disaster to the fruit crop of Jefferson county. according to the beliefs of men who are authorities on the fruit question.
 Coming as it does on the heels of several days of cold, rainy weather, the freeze of tonight will prove excep- tionally trying 10 the fruit crop, which is at the present time in it's critical stage of development for the season.
 It is believed, too. that the cold rain and the subsequent freeze of last Sunday has already wrought perma- nent injury, to q more or less extent, to, the fruit crop If the rain should freeze on the trees tonight it will probably mean total loss of the fruit crop, so it is stated

TALKS OF IRELAND
Father Mclean Delivers an Interesting Ad.
 dress at the Catholic Church.. Revival
 Services Begin at the First Baptist chureh...The Day at Other Churches.

noenite the rainy weather q good- .,,od crowd was in attendance at the s. 1oseph's Catholic church Sunday .ron;ng to hear Father Mclean de ,;ror his lecture on Ireland. Those uho brayed the clements were not disappointed, as the address was both interesting and instructive. as the ,noaker has travelled extensively ia Frin's Isle and spoke from personal experience.
 Father Mclean said at the begin ming that he was not attempting to lecture on the subject, but merely to talk. Sunday evening was the first lime he has attempted to relate any If his experiences in the Emerald Isle
 publicly, but the result was very
 gratifying to his hearers. He gave q history of the country for several
 thousand years back. from the ear
 Hest known records of the country. from the time the island was inhab-
 tied by savage tribes to the present.
 He described in detail the struggles
 of the Irish race for civilization, and
 the efforts of St. Patrick, who educat-
 ed himself by long years of self-denial
 and hard work, and rose from hum-
 ble goatherd to be the beacon-light in
 Irish history. and the earliest educa-
 tor of the race. From St. Patrick's time down to the time of the Norman
 Conquest in England, when Ireland sent her picked men over to England to aid in the fight, and the conquer. ors came back with the Irishmen and finally placed Ireland under the Brit ish rule, the history is a fascinatine one, and Father McGean made it as interesting almost as his description of his personal travels.
 Father McGean left this conntrv aoout two years ago on fast ocean steamer, and before they landed in ireland, when they were we'll in sight ol it's shores, had an amusing expe- rlence with an Englishman. which he related Sunday evening. Landing in heland. he traversed many of the most famous counties and divisions ol the island, including Limerick, Tip perary. and visited the cities of Dub- lin, Cork, Belfast and other smaller put no less interesting towns. He saw the famous Blarney Stone, but ala not attempt to kiss it, as he said .nls was one of the most difficult 'ea's that could be accomplished. and one rlsked his life whenever he tried '.' lie told of seeing whole villages almost depopulated by the ravages of .amine and the emigration to Amer .ca' and one of his encounters with 'ne Irish "Jarvie," whose wit Is ia. nous the world over.
