Every provision viii be made to

Palladino will be asked to produce the

one of three men sent by the English
Society of Psychical Research to In

other two men were Everard Fielding

There is already on foot, however,

after the holidays will bring in a
resolution to that end. Unless the
temper of congress has undergone a
radical change in the last four years,
the resolution will meet with defeat.

of the absence of a court such as the

WASHINGTON.-The recent death

In capital society, recalls a bitter So
GA feud in which she vas one of the

Mrs. Dolls maiden name was Anna
Malcolm Agnew, n she was not
quite 16 years of age when she mar

her senior.
Anna Agnew described herself as a
great-grandchild Of Margaret MalcolmA
a distinguished Scotch woman, and a
great-grandniece of Admiral Poultney
Malcolm, who guarded the island of
st. Helena while Napoleon was a
prisoner there. She became the child
wife of a printer named Evans, but

was.
Why" he said, Il can best explain
my attitude by telling you about a

town n night and imbibed very free

He was weaving an uncertain way
homeward along the road when he al
most ran into a large rattlesnake that
was coiled in the road and ratified ON

a moment and then drew himself up
as well as he could. If you are going
to strike, strike, drat ye,' he said. You

to live and a legal separation was fol
lowed by a divorce. A year later. Mrs,
Evans became Mrs. Davis No. 2.
Mrs. William R. Merriam, wife Of
a rising politician, was the social lead
er in st. Paul at the time. She was a
devoted friend of the first Mrs. Davis,
and her decree that Mrs. Anna Agnew
Davis must not be recognized socially
was obeyed implicitly.
1t was not long before William r.
Merriam was elected governor of Min
nesota, and his wife assumed her po-
sition as mistress of the executive
mansion. The inaugural ball is the
great social function of st. Paul, and
when Mrs. Merriam sent out her in
vitations the former governor and his
wife were excluded.
Gov. Davis was elected to the Unit
ed States senate in 1887. Soon after
the expiration of Gov. Merriam's term
he was appointed director of the GEN.

and transferring the scene of hostil-

Senator Davis died on November, 81,

campaigning In Maine he suffered a

from his silk hose infected the wound
and septicemia resulted. Mrs. Davis
was married to Hunter Doll on July
