ness in making a fight for local edi-
tors that deserve the thanks and APP
probation and financial encourage
ment of every good citizen.
Very few realize what it e
when a nan undertakes the publica-
ton Of a daily or a weekly newspaper
In a small place.
The editor risks everything, pow
erty, bankruptcy, Indifference Of the
public, and at best his reward can be
very small.
That is why we have n the past
and do to-day and shall in the future
try to impress on our readers and on
big advertisers the fact that they
should do their share toward support
ing the local press Of this country.
There would be and could be no phi
lanthropy about 1t, simply wise self
interest should make every citizen
buy his local paper and make every
advertiser contribute according to his
means to the support of the local
press.
h citizen hat buys his local pa
per gets his money back many times
over In protection of his interests.
And the mar who advertises widely
and wisely in the local press gets his
money back many times over in cash
returns.
h people should not be niggardly
IN support Of those that do good
work. Business men and the public
generally should be especially broad
minded and liberal in their support
OF the local newspapers that repre-
sent and intensity public opinion
throughout the country.

WINS A 05O.pOUND BRIDE,
Printer Of 1876 Makes Hcavyweiglt
Matrimonial Catch.

New York, Aug. 18.-The --LATEST
woman In tho world'-a great side
show attraction--is married. She
was Miss Alpine Bitch, weight $50
pounds, z 81 years, and her new
husband is Louis II. Aiken, formerly
Of Springfield, Mass. lie Is a prin-
ter by trade, but now he Is to be his
brides manager, he says. He admits
he has a big attraction on his hands.
He is SO, and weighs 1876 pounds.
Aiken fell in love with his bride
at the third or fourth look. She was
too big for him to see all at once,
otherwise 1t would have been Il love-
at-first-sight match.
The two vent to Borough Hall, in
Brooklyn, yesterday, got their IL
cense, and were married by Alderman
Jesse Moore, who weighs about 200
pounds--asSisted by Alderman Jas.
Martyr, 210. The witnesses were
two gentlemen who announced that
they were the Lopez brothers. One
was said to be n glass eater, and tho
other juggles knives.
The bride was dressed In a be-
witching white hobble skirt that look
ed as If 1t had been a balloon cover.
The bridegroom, looking much like
a pigmy, was happy; but his bride
was rather grave. The only time she
smiled was when she looked down
on the bridegroom rs she promised
to obey him.
The bride Is a great circus attrac-
ton. She has been the exposure OF
all eyes, the pet of potentates. and
everybody knows she Is "the greatest
educational exhibit eve put under
canvas" but she never has known
the JOY Of sitting on her sw~eetheart's
lap, and she has no idea OF the de-
light OF being Rugged. Her waist Is
so ample that her swain can't reach
far enough around to get a purchase.

young daughter of the mistress of
the chateau. The girl and her
mother were taking the usual steps
to have the will put into effect.
Police and scientists pieced to-
gether a theory that one of the con-
spirators had acted as valet at the
chateau, and had changed the counts
collar button for one containing the
particle Of radium. The deadly sub
stance, worn day after day over the
spinal cord just below the base Of the
brain, had inevitably produced paral-
ysis. The conspirators had previous
ly forged a will, dated some months
before the visit to the chateau, leay-
ing the counts property to the young
girl. Every step in the plot had been
carried out with exquisite skill.
The supposed criminals will fight
desperately for the property, and it
will be exceedingly difficult to prove
the case against them.
Just now Madame Muric is suf-
fering from a mysterious illness, at
first diagnosed as appendicitis, but
now decided not to be that disease.
1t is believed that the radium may
have had a specially destructive in
fluence on her intestines without
showing It's effect on the outside of
the body. 1t is also possible that she
has absorbed large quantities Of
radioactive water, which has rem
manned In her tissues.
