Bachelor of Ninety.tive WEEDS Spinster
Of Ninety.
Lowell, Mass, Nov. 13-After an
ardent courtship Of two weeks, the
strenuosity Of which would have put
many young man to shame, Henry
G. Wilder, aged ninety-fye years, a
we'll known printer here, was married
to Miss Esther Crawford, a resident
of Chicago, aged ninety years.
The marriage is one of the most
romantic that has taken place in this
district in years. Neither bride or
groom has been married before, ac-
cording to the marriage license, and
neither has seen the other until two
weeks ago, when the bride came here
from her home in Evanston, ILL.,, to
visit her niece.
She was introduced to Wilder at a
church and friends say it was a case
of love at first sight. He accom-
panied her to church that evening and
escorted her and her niece home.
Since then her life has been round
Of carriage rides and walks.

growled Curtis in Morriss The latter nodded
gravely and closely studied the Young officer. So
openly did he show nourished disdan for and
affairs not of the army that the French traders
with all their admiration for of the sword were
angry and disturbed. These men were not petty
traders but the highly paid agents of big houses of
Homburg, Marselles, Manchester, New York; and
they resented D'Entremonts attitude Still, this
arrogant Young officer meant safety for Tsmbola

show them that the French knew how to inflct
punishment.

You might devise a better plan?

ing his chest. He was removed to
his home and was progressing favor

his wife left the house to fetch a
bucket of water, leaving her hus-
band and four small children in bed.
While returning, she found to her
horror that the house was on fire.

fort begotten of his fear for his chill
dren's lives (of whom the eldest is

bed and saved them and himself,
sinking exhausted to the ground as
