WINS FORMER CHILD WIFE.
Western Man Marries UnwittingIy
Bride of His Youth.

Bride of His Youth.
Welded a second time without rec
ognizing his bride as the wife of his
youth from whom he had been sepa-
rated was the singular fate of James
Hurlbutt, western mining expert.
Ruth Emery, an orphan governess,
was 1S when James Hurlbutt first met
and married her in Quebec. After a
brief honeymoon he set ont alone to
seek his fortune in the western
States, leaving his wife with her
former employer, on the understand
ing that she remained there until he
was able to send for her. A misun-
derstandlng arose. Correspondence
ceased. Two months later she wrote
asking him to forgive her. But this
letter never reached him.
A few years later Mrs. Hurbutt APP
piled for a divorce, which was grant
ed on the ground of desertion. Suisse
quently she married. Two years later
this husband died in New Mexico.
She was left a fortune, which includ-
ed mines in Montana. At a hotel in
Butte she saw a man whose face
seemed strangely familiar. 1t was
that Of a middle-aged man with iron
gray hair and beard. She learned
that he was James Hurlbutt, her first
husband. They met daily in the hotel,
but he did not recognize her and she
could not bring herself to make
disclosure.
Finally she wished to get an ex-
pert's report on her mining property.
She was referred to Mr.. Hurlbutt as
a competent man for the work. They
were introduced. He agreed to ex-
anime the property and seemed per-
sonally attracted to her. Gradually
she grew to hope that she might make
him love her for her sake rather than
for the sake of the girl wife he had
left behind him years before. They
soon became fast friends He asked
her no questions about her past life;
she told him only so many as she
thought 1t well for him to know.
He never once suspected who she
was. At length he proposed and was
accepted. They went together and
were married by a justice Of the
peace. Only themselves know what
was said when, Immediately after
their second marriage she revealed to
him the secret which he had never
suspected.

A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.
Test Made By Man who Desired to
"Projsot Himself, Upon Friend.

Test Made By Man Who Desired to
"Projsct HIMSELF Upon Friend.
81. Addington Bruce describes the
attempt OF an English clergyman
named Clarence Godfrey to project
himself into the presence OF a friend
at distance. The attempt was made
on the night OF Nov. is. 1885, and is
thus described by Mr.. Bruce, says Pub
lie Opinion:
The result of his attempt as de-
scribed In the account written out at
his request by the 'percipient,' who, 1t
should perhaps be added, had had no
intimation OF the experiment, was as
follows:
'Yesterday-viz., the morning of
Nov. IS, 1SS6-about $50 o'clock, l
woke up with a start and an idea that
some one had come into the room. l
heard a curious sound, but fancied 1t
might be the birds in the ivy outside.
Next I experienced a strange, restless
longing to leave the room and go down
stairs. This feeling became so over
powering that at last l arose and lit
a candle and went down, thinking that
IL l could get some soda water 1t
might have a quieting effect. On re-
turning to my room l saw Mr.. Cod
frey standing under the large window
on the staircase. He was dressed in
his usual style and with an expression
on his face that l have noticed when
he has been looking very earnestly at
anything. He stood there and l held
up the candle and gazed at him for
three or four seconds in utter amaze
ment, and, then. as l passed up the
staircase, he disappeared. The impress
sion left on my mind was so vivid that
l fully Intended waking a friend who
occupied the same room as myself, but
remembering that l should only be
laughed at as romantic and imaginary
7 refrained from doing So
Arguing from analogy, 1t was held
by those advancing the telepathic hy-
pothesis that the mind of a dying per-
son In reverting to a distant friend
conveyed to the friends mind a dis
tinct impression which took the form
of vivid visual hallucination. To the
reply that the apparltions were by no
means uniformly coincident with the
moment of death, and not lnfrequent-
ly occurred only after a lapse Of sew
eral hours, 1t was deemed sufficient to
point to such cases as that Of the Rev.
Mr.. Godfrey as illustrative of similar
deferment OF experimental hallucina-
lions. In the Godfrey case the will
ing begun at 10:45 p. m. on the night
of Nov. Is and lasted only eight min
utes, after which Mr.. Godfrey fell
asleep, whereas it was not until $3.50
a. m. of the following morning that
the halluclnatory vision appeared to
the percipient.'

PHONE AID TO MATRIMONY.
Girl with One In Her Home Always
Popular with Young Men.


Popular with Young Men.
1t Is needless to say that the tele-
phone ia great institution, says the
Utica Press. 1t has long been an abso-
lutte essential in every place OF busl-
uess. Just now there is a great in
crease In the number of phones In pri-
vate houses. 1t is possible to talk
with pretty much everybody at his or
her home. The companies are evident
y endeavoring to boom that branch of
their business, because they are ad-
vertising 1t extensively. The other
day a st. Louis paper had big dis
play ad. at the top Of which was a
picture Of an attractive young lady
telephoning and represented as saying:
rs that you, HarryT The text be-
meath it includes this statement: at
is well-known fact that the girl who
has a telephone is the girl who has
the most friends, and consequently has
the best time"
This appeal to the young people is
adroit and doubtless will serve to
make the st. Louis exchange bigger
and buster. The parents who have
manageable daughters will do well to
consider this ingenious contrivance and
modern aid to matrimony. 1t is some
thing Of a bother for a young man to
call or even to written note asking the
young lady to go to the theater, go for
walk or drive or a ride to the park,
but II he can transmit the message by
telephone It is an easy way of making
an appointment. Many a delicious
message is telephoned these days. and
there is reason to believe the statement
made by the st. Louis company II
applies. OF course, with equal force in
every American city. The young la
dies for whom life OF single bles-
sedness has no charms are not exactly
buying a lottery ticket when they hire
phone. They can get much pleasure
and comfort out of II as they go along,
for 1t is a constant contributor to con.
venience. 1t is worth the price, with
the enhanced matrimonial possibility
thrown In as an extra inducement.

There is a curious plant that grows
in Arabia and is known by the name
Of Laughing plant" This name comes
from the fact that any one who eats
its seeds cannot control his laughter.
The natives OF the district where this
funny plant grows dry the seeds and
reduce them to powder. small dose
Of this powder makes those who eat
It act much like those who drink more
liquor than is good for them. The So
berest person will dance, shout and
laugh like a madmap and rush aboat
cutting up the most ridiculous capers

the reaction comes. The dancer is ex-
hausted and deep sleep comes upon
him. After a nap Of several hours he
awakens with no recollection OF the
antics he has performed.

ELECTRICITY CURES pHrHls.s
One Million Volts Has Healed Thirty
Two Cases of Consumption.

DIR. Alfred Goss OF Adams, n. Y,
has apparently cured thirty two cases
Of tuberculosis. He has twelve cases
under treatment and day by day the
sputum Of these patients shows a less
number OF tubercular bacilli.
He begins with the theory advanced
by DR.. Sir Oliver Lodge and Prof. ].
7. Thompson, says a correspondent of
che New York World. that matter is
electricity, that electricity has its own
unit OF quantity, and that in the pas
sage of electricity through liquid me-
dunn the electrons of electricity and
the atoms of the medium unite and at
the same speed pass on together
through the medium or whatever lies
beyond. By accident he discovered a
germicide that kills tubercular bacllli
yet does not affect the albumen Of the
blood. The huge static electrical ma
chine he uses develops $1,000 volts,

Houten or Ten Broeck's high frequen.
cy apparatus, Increases to supposedly
100000 volts with such low ampher-
age that when shot into the flesh
through a Shows vacuum surface cleo
trode the patient feels no unpleasant
sensations.
He smears his germicide on the pa
TENTS breast, back or sides and ap-
piles the electrode. gas arises from
the decomposition OF the germicide and
It's atoms uniting with the electrical
electrons pass on into the lung tissue,
benumbing the bacilli and leaving to
the white blood corpuscles only the
task OF carrying off the bacilli. Thus
the white corpuscles do not have to ore
to produce the toxin themselves and
thereby become cOngested in the blood
vessels encrysting the bacilll and p. T.
venting the swarms of corpuscles from
gaining access to them.
Some time ago DR.. Goss experiment.
ed with a cadaver and upon dissecting
1t found traces of the gas at depth of
eight inches below the surface. Pa
tents detect the taste Of the gas i'm
medlately after treatment. DR.. Goss
also finds traces Of the gas in the
sputum Of patients. proving conclusive
ly that the electricity does carry the
germlcide atoms into the lung tissues

OF the thirty-two patients thought by
DR.. Goss to be cured are free from
cough and have gained many pounds
of flesh. The most rigid examination
shows no traces OF tubercular bacllli IL
their sputum.
DR.. Goss has received many letters
from physicians, all OF whom are en-.
couraging him to carry out his invesri
cations. He declares that he has moi

that 1t is free to the world. He runs
no sanitarium and accepts only pa.

which Captain Chambers OF Mackinac
Island Is keeper.
So isolated is the lighthouse that the
Eearest port-Marquette-is more than
fifty miles distant, while the nearest
land of any description is Manitou
Island. In clear weather the light Is
visible for a distance of over eighteen
miles, and in thick weather there is a
ten-inch steam whistle to give warn

The rock Itself arises from two and
half to three feet above the level Of
the lake and is but fifteen or twenty
feet In diameter. This pinnacle marks
the site Of a dangerous shoal extend
ing north by west and south by east
of 300 feet, with a width of 1900
feet. Close around It, however. is
some OF the deepest water in Lake
Superior, soundlngs having been taken
for 600 feet.
In the early days of the lighthouse
the keeper had only one or two as

months that he never got away from
his post The government, however
soon realized the undesirability of

VIENNA, April 3.-Foreign Minister Golu-

but no official step with reference to the
recall of American Ambassador Storer has
yet been taken. Official circles, which at
first acquiesced in the suggestion from
Washington that pending the change in the
embassy here diplomatic business between
Austria Hungary and the United States be
transacted in Washington. are now point
ing out that this is somewhat impractical
because small questions are always pend
ing between the embassy and the Foreign
Office making direct communication ad-
visable. E.
MIR. Storer is still confined to his room.
He has not yet officially notified the For
eign office OF his return to Vienna, and
so long as this It not done he will not be
regarded as the American ambassador, for
before Mr.. Storer started for Egypt he
officially notified the Foreign office that
he was leaving Secretary Rives as charge
d'affalres, and this notification has not
been rescinded.

on Monday 10 see Mr. Storer, but was not
admitted being informed that Mr.. Storer
