REcoGNIzEs VOICE, MARRIEs.
Rescuer Hears Girl Talking Over Tel
ephone-Weddine Follows.

New York.-The marriage of Miss
Marjorie Conley and D. Perry Wilson,
just announced, was the result Of
another of the many romances that
have begun in the surf.
Two years ago Miss Conley, wht
had come to New York from Louis
vile, Ky, to earn her own living
went to Atlantic City on her vaca-
ton. She was an expert swimmer,
but one day, venturing outside tho
life lines, she became exhausted, and.
but for the aid of a young man, would
probably have drowned.
The man was D. Perry Wilson
son of wealthy railroad man of
Lock Haven, Pa, and a graduate Of
Lehigh university. Miss Conley and
Mr.. Wilson became friendly, but when
she returned to New York they lost
sight Of each other. A few months
ago, when Wilson was in town, he
telephoned to the Hotel Astor, and
the voice of the telephone operator
was familiar to him. He investigated,
and discovered that the voice be
onged to Miss Conley.

The Boy and the Rats.

In large warehouse in Liverpool a
boy named Edward Scott was en-
ployed to run errands. There were
many rats about the place and he was
told that If he could catch one and
SINCE its tail all the others would
leave. A trap was set and rat was
caught but while singeing its tail ac-
cording to directions the lighted paper
blew into a pile of straw and started
a confagration that burned four big
buildings and inflicted a loss OF half
q million dollars. There are some
smart boys in this world, but there
are also some smart rats, and it is
just as well to keep them apart If
the rat had caught the boy and singed
his hair there might have been eight
buildings burned.

Picking, Nov. 25.-The situation at
Marking, where a mutiny on the part
of the Chinese troops broke out Nov.
10, is serious. There has been fight
ing in the streets of the city and a
portion of the foreign residents have
taken refuge on board a British gun
boat. Others of the foreigners elected
to remain on Shore
This information was conveyed to
Picking in official kilograms to the le-
cations here. There is also German
gunboat off the city. The American
residents asked for gunboat for their
protection, but in view of the assur-
ances given by Yuan Shi Kai, one of
the grand councillors, that the situa-
ton was quiet and the incident of the
mutiny closed this request was not
forwarded. The information coming
in here contradicts the representa-
lions being made by the foreign board
and the legations have requested the
board to supply them with further
news.

On the fifteenth day of the first moon
the emperor Of China goes in great
state to certain field, accompanied
by the chief officers of his household
and prostrates himself, touching the
ground nine times with his head in
honor of the god Tien, and pronounces
a prayer invoking the blessing Of the
great being. Then as high priest of
the empire he sacrifices q bullock to
heaven as the fountain of all good.
While the victim is being offered q
pillow drawn by a pair of highly orna-
mented oxen is brought to the emper-
or, who throws aside his imperial robe,
lays hold Of the plow handles and

mandarins follow his example, and the

thanks in advance for good harvests,
ends with distribution of clothes and
money to the poor.

DEATH roll IS
ABOVE Thirty
Two Torniadoes Sweep Over
Western Arkansas.
PROPERTY LOSS IMMENSE

incomplete Reports Tell of the De.
struction Of Number Of Towns,
Miles Upon Miles Of Land Have
Been Swept Bare, Forests Destroyed
and Scores of Churches, Business
Houses and Homes Demolished. ~
Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 25.-The lat.
est conservative estimate of the loss
of life in the two tornadoes which
swept Western Arkansas is placed at
thirty, although reports from several
sources declare that the death list
will aggregate fifty, with much of the
storm swept territory yet to be heard
from. The injured number several
score. No estimates are made as to
the property loss. Judging from all
reports received thus far, however, it
will go into the hundreds of thou.
sands. Miles upon miles of land have
been swept bare. Forests, homes,
business houses, churches and every
thing have been demolished alike in
many communities. From all reports
there appears to have been two diff
ferent tcrnadoes, one starting from
the south and the other from the
north, both dipping to the earth at
intervals and apparently meeting in
the central western part of the state,
where the most damage has been re-
ported. "
The town of Piney, German settle
ment on the Iron Mountain. railroad,
located between Knoxville and Lon
don, suffered the most, according to
reports received thus far. The num-
Der of dead is variously estimated
from nine to twenty. Five business
houses and a number of homes were
destroyed, according to reports.
More Definite Reports.
From the towns of Berryville and
Cravens the most definite reports are
received. At the former three per-
sons were injured and the property
loss is roughly estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000. At Cravens four
persons are known to be dead, mem.
bers of the family of John Rosin, a
farmer, who were caught under the
falling timbers of their home. i. G..
Holt and wife, an aged couple, were
seriously injured and may die. Eight
persons who took refuge in store
we're caught in the crash of the build
ing and all were injured and eight
others are reported as missing. At
Cravens practically all the larger
buildings were either demolished or
badly damaged.
From Knoxville dispatch partially
confirms the report that the village of
Barr, four miles from that place, was
totally wrecked.
In the vicinity of Mulberry five per-
sons are reported killed and others
injured.
At Lodi one woman was seriously
injured and the Methodist church and
several other buildings were de-
stroyed.
Later reports show that the first
tornado swept over the counties of
Carroll, Newton and Johnson, almost
totally destroying Boxly, Murray, Low
gap, Ozark, Dale, Boston, Judea,
Trath, Omega, Dry Fork, Dansmorek,
Parthenon, Mossville. Limestone, Red
Fork and other hamlets.
