CHANGED HANDS.
G. P. Hardy Sells to Jas. L. Hague
wood and @. V. Jones.

WOOD ana Y. v. Jones.
The record of transactions this
week include none of greater mag,
tude than the sale of his interest
in the department stores by c. P.
Hardy to Jas. L. Haguewood and
Clifford v. Jones. The final trans
fer of stock was made yesterday.
This will not affect the style of the
company, but places the stock in
the hands of those already inter
ested financially.
Mr.. Hardy informs us that he has
been contemplating this step for
several months, and it was consum-
mated after mature elaboration.
He expects to engage in business
elsewhere, but the place and time
will not be determined upon until
further investigation. In the mean
time he expects to do some pros
pecting.
This brings about a radical change
from the established order of bust
ness in Union City. Mr.. Hardy has
been connected with the shoe bust
ness and merchandising here for
nearly twenty years IN connection
with his brother, Geo. S. Hardy.
He is we'll known to the trade and
one Of the best statesmen in the line.
His success has bee contempt
raneous with that of other good
business men here. He is in fact
one of the established and success
ful Union City merchants, and for
thisreason his withdrawal brings a
great change.
Mr.. Hardy and his family are Of
the most valued and influential citi.
zens we have. They are connected
in every way with all that is best
in our social and business life. We
regret the change, but trust that
business may again find attraction
for him in Union City.

Friendly Letter

Beloved: Your good letter, sweet
with the fragrance of yiolets from
your lovely garden. and of love from
the warm depths of your faithful,
loving heart, received yesterday.
Now that sweet little bunch OF
yiolets, which seemed scarcely
crushed in the mails, and which
were as fragrant as when gathered
with your own dear hands from
their garden beds, carried me back
to the few days ! spent in your
sweet little home; and how pleas
ant the memory of those DAYS are
to ME, and will be always. And
that beautiful garden, with its
splendid roses! | can see it now. in
the minds eye, as when dear Mrs
Stratton and l stood admiriug it te-
gether. And the warm affection of
your family for each other! The
tender love that twined around
about us, and watched over and
cared for us every moment we were
under your dear roof, will remain a
tender, loving memory with us
while life exists.
| am glad you are to have Mrs.
Stokes with you. | think Mamie
Curtis will reach you about the sec
ond Sunday in March, if that date
will suit you-possibly little ear.

A "Boiled' Dinner.

Mrs. Eldridge's new hat had just
arrived from New York. The brim
had the fashionable downward ten
dency, the ribbon was exquisite, and
heavy wreath Of large, many hued
globular objects encieled the pictures
que crown.
The feminine member Of the
household eyed it approvingly, but
could give no name to the botanical
portion Of the decorations. Mr.. Ed
ridge, however, regarded the creation
with mild disfavor.
"I can see, John,'' said the owner
of the hat, pinning it into place and
smiling at her husband, "that you
don't admire my hat. But why? Isn't
it becoming?"
"It's becoming enough" returned
Mr.. Eldridee. examining it critically.
"and it seems to be nice hat, in
spite of all those onions, beets and
carrots: but you know, Sallie, [ new

there is nothing in the world the

ROOSEVELT AND THE SOUTH.
Some of the Things Mr.. Roosevelt
Has Written and Said Of the
South.
By James S. Mccarthy.


Washington, D. c., June '29.-lnas-
r1ucI as q number of Southern news
papers and politicians have lately
been loudly proclaiming Theodore
Roosevelt to be a great friend OF the
SoutI. aid declaring that he should
be endorsed by the Democracy 10
I'rcsidcn1 .ext year, it IS app '"prlale
to call attention to some OF the many
bitter things he has said and written
of the south and her statesmen dur
ing his career, which prove beyond
possibility Of doubt that he IS any.
thing but a friend of the fal! land OF
Dixie and the Southern people.
In his Life Of Thomas Hart Ben
ton, chapter S, page 161, Mr.. Roose-
welt declared:
."Slavery was chiefly responsible
for the streak Of coarse and brutal
barbarism which ran through the
Southern character. -
Of Jefferson Davis, the beloved and
immortal chieftain Of the Southern
Confederacy, in the same book, same
chapter, page l63, he wrote:
"The moral difference between
Benedict Arnold On the one hand,
and Aaron Burr and jefferson DAVIS
on the other, is precisely the dltter-
ence that obtains between a politician
who sells his vote for money and one
who supports bad measure in con-
sideration Of being given some high
politica, position.
At Arlington, Va, just across the
Potomac River from the City OF
Washington, the old homestead OF
General Robert E.. Lee, which was
stolen from him by the United States
Government during the Civil war and
converted into burying ground to1
dead Yankee soldiers, Mr.. Roosevelt
in an address delivered before the
Grand Army Of the Republic, May 81
1902, said:
"You brave men who went South
in the sixties and barred your breasts
to the hostile bullets of the Southern
outlaws and traitors are deserving OF
all the glory and honor that can be
heaped upon you by a grateful ma
tion."
For these Infamous insults to the
people Of the South Mr.. Roosevelt
has never had the manhood to apollo
gize, and until he does apologize fo1
them, all talk Of his friendship tol
the South and her people is as ab-
surd as to claim that hyena would
not tear a child limb from limb If II
got the chance.

a few days many of them returned for
more and urged their neighbors to get
some of it as it had done so much
good for them. Many testimonials

ductiOn of coming opera. Being Of
very prepossessing appearance the
manager prevailed upon her to enter
the ranks, during the run in Chicago,
which she did more in a spirit of fun,
and to be with her friend, than with
any serious intention of permanently
remaining on the stage, but her strik-
ing appearance and figure, and sweet
soprano voice began to attract atten.
ton, and almost before she was aware
of it, she was playing one of the les
ser roles in the piece and cast for the
principal part in the opera to follow.
Even to this day, Miss GlaZier asserts
that she cannot account for the way
that she was drawn into the theatrical
fold, but she admits that she has
never regretted it and would not de-
sert the stage now, even though she
could become a female Rembrandt
Vaudeville at the Phillips.
Manager Murray is able to an
nounce a splendid bill, to all appear
ances, for this week. One of the
new features will be the substitution
of a cameragraph for the philoscope,
to project the motion pictures. This
machine is the latest product of the
inventors art and it is expected to
give unusually good results. Below
is the complete program for the
week.
Overture-Chas. L. Stone, musical
director.
Manley and Sterling Popular

Lizzie Weller-The clever Juvenile

Freeze Brothers-The original tam
BOURNE jugglers and spinners, solo

CASE is SET FOR TRIAL
Suit Against George Hazard of New
Castle, Will Be Heard in Rush
County, April %.

New Castle, Ind, March 2.-After
many efforts and much sparring with
the attorneys for the defense. Pros
ecuting Attorney Barnard has finally
succeeded in getting the trial of Geo.
Hazard to the Brown forgery charge
set down for hearing in the Rush
circuit court on April 23.
The affidavit in the case was filed
last October and was set down for
trial in the local circuit court in No
vember On the date set the defense
presented a petition for a continu-
ance on the grounds that Mr.. Hazard
had been unable to locate Julian Olds,
his former secretary, whose testimo-
ny in the case was of the greatest
Importance to him. The request was
granted and another date set. When
this came around the defense re-
quested a change of venue and the
case was sent to Rush county.
The state feels considerably
strengthened in its case against Haz-
zard since the supreme courts ruling
on the Nelson Allen affidavit, al
though the Brown charge is some
what different in that the Mooreland
bank president alleges that his name
was forged to a biography contract,
while the Allen charge was that the
name had been forged to the sub
scription list.
1t has repeatedly and confidently
been stated by those who are familiar
with Mr.. Hazards movements and
intentions that the historian will re-
turn to face the charge against him.
His whereabouts at present are not
generally known, but he is supposed
to be in Washington, although many
believe that he has left there.
The states attorney is determined
In the matter that the case shall be
disposed of. Either Mr.. Hazard will
have to appear, or his bond will be
forfeited.

DEAF MUTE DIVORCE CASE
AN INTERPRETER is USED
Judge Fox Declares that the Plaintiff
Tkos. Marsden, is Not Entitled to a
Divorce, But that the Defendant Is.

Thomas l.. Marsden, a deaf mute
was in the circuit court yesterda.
for the purpose of securing a divorce
from Elizabeth E. Marsden, also {
deaf mute. After hearing the testi
mony of Mrs. Carrie J. Johnson
mother of the plaintiff. the court rul
ed that Marsden had no cause fol
complaint but that his wife probably
had, and if a divorce were desired
Mrs. Marsden would have to file q
cross bill asking for a divorce.
With Mrs. Marsden was her broth
err, William Tubesing. In making his
ruling the court addressed his re
marks to Mr.. Tubesing, who stated
that his sister desired a divorce but
that she would not file a cross bill
The court told Mr.. Tubesing that he
had better consult with his sister be-
fore reaching a decision and the case
was postponed until next Saturday
There was some confusion in court
when it was announced by Judge Fo2
that a divorce case in which the
principals were deaf mutes, was to be
heard. 1t was first thought that the
testimony of the plaintiff and defend
ant would have to be written by
them, then it was discovered that Mr.
Tubesing would be able to act as an
interpreter. However, his services
were not required owing to the alb
rupt ending of the case.
Troubles Are Recited.
Mrs. Johnson stated that Mrs.
Marsden had deserted her husband
in 1902 and had never lived with him
since. She said that Mrs. Marsden's
family constantly used their influ-
ence to cause i'll feeling between Mr..
and Mrs. Marsden. Mrs. Johnson
also stated that she had appeared in
the city court some time ago as a
prosecuting witness against her son,
he having committed assault and bat
terry on her. She excused his actions
by stating that he was drunk at the
time. Mrs. Johnson also testified
that Marsden had been addicted to
strong drink and that this was one of
the reasons his wife abandoned him.
The witness stated that Mrs. Mars
den frequently drank with her hus-
band and became intoxicated. Mrs.
Johnson said that one time she called
at her sons home and had found in
the basement nearly one hundred
empty wfiskey and beer bottles. The
prosecutor asked the witness if Mrs.
Marsden had not been influenced in
leaving her husband by his actions
with a woman also a deaf mute who
had been employed as a domestic by
Mrs. Johnson. The witness stated
that this incident took place some
time after Mrs. Marsden deserted her
husband.
