WHO WOULDN'T BE PRISONER.
Gaynor Taking the Water Cure at q
 Georgia Health Resort.

Indian Springs, Ga, Aug. s1.- In John F. Gaynor, the New York contractor, who was convicted with Benjamin D. Green and Captain Ober- lin M. Carter of defrauding the gov. ernment in the Savannah harbor con. tracts, this health resort Is entertain. ing its first prisoner de luxe.
 Colonel Gaynor and his valet, ac- companied by Mrs Gaynor. a United States deputy marshal and a physi- clan, arrived here the other day from the Macon jail. where Gaynor has been confined pending appeal to the United States supreme court.
 Attorney-General Bonaparte per- mitted Gaynor to come here on the plea that visit to the springs would probably restore the prisoners health Gaynor has wheeled chair, and Wednesday morning he was rolled about the veranda of the Wigwam ho- tel and also rolled to the springs sf regular intervals to take the water.
 The deputy marshall Is not in evf- dence. but Mrs Gaynor is always with her husband. Gaynor has lost the use of his legs through locomotor ataxia. He Is paying the expense of his visit. which amout to over $500 a week.
 Gaynor and Green have becoms known as prisoners de luxe in Geor- gia because of the many privileges granted them In Macon they wsrs allowed 10 drive about the city and they never missed a ball game. "A deputy marshal. however, alvays kept them in view.

SAID HE'D TAKE CHANGE.
Bridegroom Refused to Conform tt
 Ritual. Minister Turned Him Out.

Worcester, Mass, Aug. 31.-- George c. Rice of Leominster, aged 62, has original ideas regarding the marriage service. When he tried to enforce them at his own wedding the Rev o. w. Hutchinson, pastor of the Methodist church. called off the cere. mony and escorted Rice and his bride that was to be from his house.
 The question which struck Rice was: Do you take this woman to bt your lawful welded wife?" Rice re. piled. "I'll take a chance and do the best I can can." He would make nc other answer.
 Rice called at the home of MI Hutchinson with Miss Clara Annie Wood, aged 32. whom he said he wanted to marry.
 MT Hutchinson tells the story thus: "I asked Do you wish to be mar. ried?' What do you suppose am here for?' replied the man. I ar. ranged Mir Rice and Miss Wood al they should stand. When I reached the vital question: Do you take this woman to be your lawful welded wife?' the trouble began. When he answered he'd take a chance I told him that would not do. The witnesses with the couple tried to get Rice to answer properly and Miss Wood her self urged him to go ahead, as fl would be all over in a minute. Then l told them I would not marry them and they left

PUBLIC WITH WOODRUFF.
Next Connecticut Governor Must Bs
 Friendly to His Policies.

On the assumption that second term for Governor Woodruff is i'm. possible, Congressman Lilley is whetting his scythe for the republi- can harvest of next summer, says a New Haven correspondent of the New York Tribune There is grow ing public feeling, however, that the start made toward better state condi. tions ought to be pushed to it's limit while the chance is good for success and that to turn from governor who has made this start to an aspirant who has given no indication of what his public policy would be, has lit, tie in it of prospect for public benefit in other words, the term of governor for the coming term, as far as the public goes is evidently seeking the present incumbent, however desirous he may be of retiring to private life On the other hand, an aspirant Is. seek ing that office who, while well liked by the rank and file of his party and sure enough of higher political hon. ors, has not given to the state any inkling of why he desires to become governor at this time, or of how he would conduct himself toward the large public questions now seriously before the state if he were elected, To the observers of republican policies in this state the main cues tion appears to be as to what attitude the leading aspirant fol the office will take toward big public questions, not what chance he has of election Briefly, what is to become of the start made toward better state con- dltions, not who is to become goyer- nor
 In the heat of the legislative ses- sion just closed, and when Governor Woodruff was making earnest efforts to arouse the legislature to a sense of its responsibility, Congressman Lilley remarked that things were pretty good as they were, and that he could not side with Governor Woodruff in many of his attempts at bettering them. That remark was considered as an indication that the genial congressman was looking to hio popuidtitg Wiu tHe IedueTS DlOfe than to his standing with the voters. But he left it to be inferred that, if he were in Governor Woodruff 's place, he would not worry very much over county commisslonerships, or right of trial by jury bills or trolley finance.
 Congressman Lilley, however, ;s by no means wanting in education on these matters. nor in back bone. The main point Is whether. now that he is avowedly a candidate to succeed Governor Woodruff. he intends to throw his influence toward the Wood ruff measure, or Is to he content in occupying the governors chair as an agreeable onlooker at legislative rows.

GIRL pURsuEs MAN.
Crowd Nearly Mobs Masher Who
 Spat in Her Face,


 Hartford, Aug 31.--Because he in- suited three young women and later on expectorated in the face of one of them, man who said he was Harry A. Mckenzie was nearly mobbed on the corner of Asylum and Trumbull streets Thursday evening.
 Three young women giving their names as Nellie Sullivan, cousin of the same name and friend, Mary Shay, were looking in show window about 10 o'clock, when Mckenzie came along and asked a friend which of the girls lie would like The friend said I'd like the girl in brown" With that, it is said, Mckenzie flung his arm around the waist of Nellie Sul- livan and the girl turned and struck him squarely in the face. The punch was a stiff one, and the masher fell back.
 As the girls went on to the corner of Asylum street, he stepped behind them and as the Sullivan girl turned to see if he was still following her he spat in her face The girl scream ed and made for Mckenzie, who sprinted down Asylum street, while his friend ran like deer and, do his best, Mckenzie could not shake her off. Several hundred people up and down Asylum street took up the chase and there was a general hue and cry. As the man turned down Trumbull street Policeman Callahan from the Allyn House was following close and Policeman Costello came up just in time to catch the fleeing man in his arms.
 When he was brought to the corner of Asylum and Trumbull streets the crowd hissed and jeered him.
