DOESN'T WANT HIS IDEAL.
Few Men Marry Women Whom They
Have In Minds Eye.

Does any man ever marry a woman
in the smallest way resembling what
he calls his ideal?
To begin with, he would be ashamed
to be seen out with her, because he
invariably has some absurd ideas
about dress, which may be very well
If carried out by the ideal woman, but
would never do at all if they were
adopted in the ordinary way.
Then he would inevitably wish that
his paragon of virtue, his sweet
simplicity" his devoted slave, his
quickwitted, brilliant conversational
ist, or his patient listener, as the case
might me. would sometimes have a
mind of her own" or give him a
chance of exercising his temper.
The long and short of it is that the
ideal woman, if she ever could exist,
would be a bore, prig, hopeless
dowdy, and would undoubtedly be at
loggerheads with all her friends, ala
relatives.
Man likes to think he knows just
what woman should be, but it is
quite certain he would not care to
find the creature he mentally fashions
At all events. ne generally takes care
to select some one wholly at variance
with his ideal when it comes to taxing
a wife. Chicago American.

PEACEFULLY AND GRADUALLY
Mrs. Mckinley Passes to Her Death
~~ Without Struggle.

Canton, O., May 27.-Mrs. William
Mckinley died at LOS o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
The transition from life to death
was so peaceful and gradual that it
was with difficulty that the vigilant
physicians and attendants noted when
dissolution came. 3
There was no struggle-no pain.
Mrs. Mckinley never knew of the ef-
forts made for two days to prolong her
life nor of the solicitous hope against
hope of her sister and other relatives
and friends for recovery.
At the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. C. Barber,
Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day,
Justice and Mrs. William R. Day, Drs.
Portman and Rixey and the nurses.
The body Of Mrs. Mckinley will be
placed in the vault in West Lawn ceme-
terry which holds the remains of her
husband, until the completion of the
National mausoleum on Monument
hill, when both caskets will be trans.
ferred to receptacles in that tomb.

Those familiar with the results of
American exploration have known for
a few years that there are three ma
tural bridges in southeastern Utah as
much larger than the natural bridge
in Virginia as Pixies peak is than
Mount Washington. 1t is only within
short time, however, that much ac-
Curate information about these Utah
wonders has been accessible. In 1906
an expedition of Salt Lake City men
visited them in company with an art
ist and a surveyor. Pictures of the
bridges have lately been published.
The Augusta bridge, with a span of
800 feet and height Of 265 feet, is
the largest, and so far as known there
is none larger in the world. The Car
oline bridge has a greater span, $50
feet, but is smaller in other ways; and
the third, the Edwin bridge, although
not so high as the bridge in Virginia,
has a span several times as large. AS
one has to travel hundred miles over
barren country to reach these mar
Vels of nature, the summer tourist
will not visit them very frequently.

COMES TO AN END.
ARGUMENTS OVER EDDY TRUST
DEED COMPLETED.
FOLLOWERS OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Crowd Court Room to Hear Closing
Address in First Legal Battle
Over Suit.

Concord, N. H, May 25.-Arguments
were completed in the Merrimaek
county superior court on the motion Of
the trustees of the estate of Mary
Baker Eddy, head Of the Christian
Science church, to intervene and be
substituted as plaintiffs in the suit
brought by her son, George w. Glover,
and others, to compel an accounting Of
her property.
Judge r. N. Chamberlin, the presid-
ing justice, issued an order that all
affidavits and all citations in the case
be filed by next Tuesday and this de-
cision on the motion will be given
later.
All day an interested crowd, made
up in large part of members Of the
Christian Science church, filled the
courtroom.
Most Of the time was occupied by
counsel for the petitioners, but counsel
for the three trustees, who presented
his main argument in favor of the
motion, made brief closing plea.
Both Dewitt C. Howe and former
Senator William f. Chandler, of coun-
sci for the petitioners, characterized
the motion of the trustees for leave to
intervene as absurd, and declared that
the attitude of the trustees was rather
that of defendants than plaintiffs.
The point was made also that the
deed Of trust transferring the property
of Mrs. Eddy to the three trustees was
executed after notice of the present
suit had been received.
In answer to this Gen. Streeter
said that no legal notice of the suit
was served on the defendants until
after the execution of the deeds Of
trust He denied that there was any
thing in the evidence to show ths5 the
trustees had prejudiced the case or
that, as counsel for the petitioners in
timated, the trustees would dismiss
the suit if admitted as plaintiffs.
Judge Asks Questions.
During the closing arguments Of
Gen. Streeter Judge Chamberlin in
terjected several question.
He asked how the question OF Mrs.
Eddy's competency could be determ-
ined without trial, and remarked that
it seemed strange that the court
should determine the question involved
without trial.
Mr. Streeter, in reply, said the
Judge could determine the question Of
Mrs. Eddy's competency by visit to
her and he thereupon extended an In
vitation to Judge Chamberlin and Mr..
Chandler to visit Mrs. Eddy with him
and discuss the case with her. Mr..
Streeter added, however, that before
question of competency was settled,
two other questions should be de-
cided.

FINDS DEAD BODY IN A TRUNK.
NEW YORK LANDLADY MAKES A
eREWsoME DISCOVERY.
Murdered Man an Armenian Clergy
man-suffocation Cause of Death,
Says the Coroner.

New York, May 27.-Murdered by
suffocation by being placed in a
trunk when still alive and the lid
tightly closed upon him was the fate
that befell an Armenian priest, sup
posed to be Rev. Father Casper. His
body was found in a furnished room
on the third floor of No. SSS West
Thirty-seventh street.
Every available man in the detective
bureau and the entire detective force
of the West Thirty-seventh street sta
tion, in the shadow Of which the
murder was committed, is at work on
the case.
There are several theories on which
the police are working. The most
promising of these is that the priest
was killed for the purpose of robbery.
Another, which several detectives
from the central Office are following, is
that the priest was victim of a feud
which has existed in the Greek and
Armenian churches in Jersey City.
Two men are suspected Of the crime,
and the police say that an arrest is
probable at any moment.
Henry Sherrer and his wife Anna
occupy the apartment where the crime
was discovered. The Sherrers have
six rooms. Mrs. Sherrer told the
police that two men came to her about
three weeks ago and rented a room.
They were known to her as Paul
Sarkis" and John" They had the
front room, for which they paid So a
week.
"Sarkis" is described as being about
81 year old, short and of slight build
and of medium complexion, with a
slight, dark mustache. He said he was
a carpenter John" is about S5 years
old, weighs about 1875 pounds, has dark
hair and is smoothly shaven. He was
employed in a restaurant.
Mrs. Sherrer said the priest went to
the house to visit the men three times
to her knowledge. The last time he
was seen was Wednesday morning at
8 o'clock. He stayed in the house
overnight twice, sleeping in small
room off the one occupied by the two
men. Wednesday morning he left the
house, accompanied by ''Sarkis."
In the afternoon two men delivered
a trunk to the house One said he
was an expressman and the other told
Mrs. Sherrer his name was "Sarkis, -
although he was not the "Sarkis''
whom she knew. They placed the
trunk in the front room. Mrs. Sherrer
said she noticed it was heavy and that
the men had difficulty in carrying it
up the stairs.
John" and Paul Sarkis" returned
to the house in the evening. Mrs.
Sherrer said, and, after writing some
letters in the kitchen, told her there
was some mistake about the trunk,
that the wrong one had been delivered.
They said they would take it away,
but as they had not paid for their
room for the week she said they could
not take it out. That night they dis
appeared and they have not been seen
i'll the neighborhood since.
