BRIDE OF THE SEA.
Body of Girl is Sealed i'm Steel Cor-
fin and Sunk in the Gulf of
Mexico.

New Orleans, Oct. S.--Miss Ma
Jorie Miller, eighteen years old,
daughter of Dean Walter Miller. of
Tulane University, was buried in
the Gulf of Mexico by her own fix
ed choice. She was drowned sever
al weeks ago while bathing near
Tallulah Falls, Ga, where she was
spending the summer. Her BODY
was held until her fathers return
from Europe.
Miss Miller loved the water from
childhood. She made repeated re-
quests that her parents give her
body to the ocean.
Accordingly, after the family had
given the question consideration
for a week, the body was removed
from the receiving vault, sealed in
steel coffin, heavily weighted, and
carried far out into the Gulf of
Mexico. There it was lowered into
the bosom of the ocean with a SIM
pic ceremony.

FIRST WIFE'S GHOST.
Makes Second Wife Seek Divorce.
Life blade Miserable by the

Distraction brought on by being
continually confronted with the
spirit of her husbands second wife.
according to Mrs. Edward NJ. Steck.
mother of Mrs. Helen Louise Dodge,
wife of the lawyer and heir to the
immense Dodge fortunes, was the
reason why her daughter had left
her husband in London and return
ed to this city.
Mrs. Steck, in her remarkable in
terview, further declares that
Dodge, after presenting her daugh-
ter with $4,000 necklace. short
ly after their marriage, forced her
to return it to him, declaring that
the spirit of his second wife had SO
demanded.
The seventeen-year-old bride of
the multi-millionaire, who was mar
lied only few months ago, return
ed to this country yesterday and is
to-day in seclusion.
The Rev. d. Stewart Dodge, at
his home, No. 8 East forty-ninth
street, declined to affirm or deny
the report of his enlargement from
his son.
Walter Phelps Dodge has ro-
mantle career. Born in Syria, where
MS father was a missionary, he
travelled extensively and finally
married a circus equestrienne in
Edinburgh. She obtained a divorce
His second wife was Mrs. Ethel
b. Coles, an English woman. The
ceremony took place i'll Sioux Falls,
S. D., a fortnight after she had OBJ
tanned a divorce. She died after
marriage.
Mr.. Dodge, by this time had de-
VeloIod strong preference for life
in England, where he is member
of the London bar. And it was
only on a brief visit that he came
TO New York last Autumn.
Mrs. Dodge is the daughter of a
millionaire coal operator of Phila-
delphia. she and her sister ap-
Peared tor 81 short time in the musi-
cal company in this city. While
dining at Sherry's she was intro
duced to Dodge, then widower.
He fell madly in love with her. A
few weeks later they were married
in London. Dodge is forty-two
years old and had two children. An
other sister of Mrs. Dodge married
and shortly after left her husband.
Mrs. Dodge's mother also declares
that her daughter was compelled to
sign a separation agreement, a copy
of which is now in the hands of the
attorney.

MIR. Thompson's Fine Cotton.

There is an old saying that you
can never tell what jury will do"
Cotton is such an uncertain plant
that you can never tell what it will
do. Two months ago the cotton
crop on Mr.. J. S. Thompson's fine
plantation near town was the most
promising failure farmers had ever
seen. The indications were that
MIR. Thompson would not make a
bale TO every two acres instead of
bale to every acre His lands
had suffered badly from the torren-
tlal rains and the weed looked un-
healthy. For once in the history
or the plantation it seemed as if
King Cotton had been dethroned.
And then came along that little pest
known as the wet weather worm"
He began to bore into the bolls and
seemed intent upon destroying what
the rains had left. But following
this came a period of choice cotton
weather and the weed began to
grow like Jacks bean stalk and
take on fruit with every leap. The
strong sub-soil had retained the
fertilizer and ii worked like yeast
In a pone of bread. To-day Mr..
Thompson farm is a picture His
fields are white with cotton and
from many acres he will gather as
much as 1000 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre. Two months have
worked wonderful transformation.
Last year was the best cotton year
in the history of the country and
,Mr- TbomRson made a large crop.
but the yield on his place this year
VIII be equally as large. From one
field of IL acres he has already
gathered 1900 pounds per acre and
there is left another good picking
that will, easily bring the total up
to 1000 pounds. This is above the
average, but he has other fields
that promise yield of from 1000
to 1900 pounds. Ten years ago
Mr.. Thompson purchased this place
FOR $4,000. That was considered
marvellous price, but to-day it
would bring three times that
amount. Recently Mr.. Thompson
purchased the r. p. Stackhouse
plantation adjoining his farm. This
gives him 1900 acres of the best
land in the county in one body.
There is no telling what cotton will
do. If you do not believe it just
take look at Mr.. Thompson's farm.
1t answers the question, why are
lands SO high in Dillon county?"

Man Finds New House Built on His
Property.

Thomas Brush, OF Cheyenne. Wyo.
thinks he is a lucky man. Suppose
you had city lot and insufficient
funds to complete a house you had
started to build on it., and some
stranger came along and complete
1t in your absence, wouldn't you
be happy? Well, that is what hap
pened to Bruch
Recently he bought a lot in Park
addition and started to builda house
on it, but finding that his funds
were insufficient to complete the
house, and having a good position
offered him in the country, he left
Lis honse and went to work. After
several days he returned, and when
he went out TO continue operations
on his house he found that the
work was nearly completed. At
first Brush began to doubt that he
owned the lot, but after looking up
his deed and comforting with an at
torney, he found that the lot was
still his, and therefore the house.
He notified the new occupant of
nis land TO discontinue work, and
said that he would put on the fin
ishing touches himself. Perhaps
he was afraid his magnanimous
friend might not put on the right
color OF paint. Just what induced
the stranger to build on Brush's
lot is not known.
