UNION CITY, Ind, Aug. 21.-The
only man in captivity who ever re-
fused a pretty young girl. heir to
100000, and very anxious TO marry
him,-refused her because she did
not have brown eyes, is Acil Alexan-
der of Indiana. He used to have a
rural route address out OF Union City
but Acil has become too large a per-
sonage for Union City. All Indiana
claims him today.
Acil is likely to have the local post
masters salary raised and the local
office entered as a first class office
because Acil is looking for a wife
That fact having become known in
several states the mail is pouring in
on Acil.
Now Acil is particular. The future
Mrs. Alexander must be just so and
even if she had every requisite but
one and a 100000 legacy in sight be-
sides, she will no do.
Elsie, who wrote from Wanamaker,
Ind. found this out and Acu was
awful sorry To have to refuse her
100000 because she wanted TO en-
dow him with all her worldly goods
and wash his clothes and cook on
Acil's farm land all even if have got
so much money. But Acil wanted
brown eyes, not money.
Acil does not trust TO pictures. He
travels around looking up prospects.
He says all the girls are crazy about
him, that they ask particularly about
his / 90 acres and bank account. But
while he has met one tall enough, an
other one heavy enough, still another
who was young enough and maybe one
L.
candidate with all the qualities he
wants in one.
Travels All Over.
Acil is handsome. That he is no
fool is shown by the fact that although
many traps have H;en laid to snare
his riches he has q me through un-
touched. And he hts gone as far as
Piqua, o., looking f3r the future Mrs.
A. Muncie, Indianapolis, GRAMS
burg. many Indiana towns know Acil.
He is likely to turn up any place to
morrow, because he has left the farm
take care of itself while he is looking
Only once did Acil so far forget
himself as TO get into trouble in this
search. In indianapolis he fell asleep
while reading some OF the letters from
willing candidates. That would not
have been so bad but he fell asleep
in a public park and cop plnched
hif.
Acil did not understand how it
happened, but before Judge Collins
the following morning Acil said he
guessed the letters were so soft he
easily went to sleep on them. Judge
Collins advised him to look nearer
Union city for a brOwn-eyed wife.
AciI is awful sorry" for the girl
with the 100000. But she did not
have brown eyes.

didate for the presidency.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Intima-
lions are contained in Provisional
Pres. Huerta's reply TO the American
note presented by John Lind that
Pres. Wilson is not backed up by con-
gress or the American people in his
stand against recognition of the Huer-
Ia government.
Referring to the attacks on the
Washington administration by mem
bers Of congress, and pointing to the
official recommendations of Ambassa-
dor Henry Lane Wilson, advising
recognition. Huerta declares he is en-
titled TO be recognized.
He holds that the democratic partys
recognition Of his government is a
power is temporary, and argues that
partisan question in the United States
He intimates that he reaches his con-
clusion on private advices from Wash
ington.
This information was obtained
Wednesday night from those who
know the contents Of the Huerta note
so far as it has been deciphered.
The complete note is not yet at
hand, but the principal argument has
been placed before administration Of
ficials.
Though negotiations between John
Lind, personal representative of
Pres. Wilson. and Provisional Pres.
Huerta are continuing on a cordial
personal basis, neither side is reced-
ing from its position, and alternative
measures already are under considera-
ton here.
No Definite Course.
No definite course has been formu-
lated, but the policy that is at present
under consideration and most likely
to be adopted is one of absolute nom
interference. The American govern
ment under such a policy would con-
tinue TO deny arms TO both sides,
would withdraw Americans from
trouble zones. insist on proper pro-
lection to property and lives. and in
effect let the Mexicans continue their
controversy on the battlefield.
The administration is determined
against Intervention of war and the
other alternative. friendly mediation,
has apparently failed. Officials here
States through the mission of Mr..
Lind will have satisfied foreign gov
ernments generally of it's desire TO
bring about peace and they do not
conceive that there will be pressure
10 bring about intervention.
To grant arms to the constitutional
lists would in the opinion of many Of
ficials only add TO the dangers of
anarchy in the republic, equiping ban
dit bodies with weapons of destruction
of which they have hitherto been de-
prived.
That the United States will keep
hands OFF, was considered more than
likely in many quarters here Wednes-
day night and administration officials
pointed TO an important precedent
for such action during the term of
Pres. Hayes, when General Porfirio
Diaz resumed the reins of government

Of Pres. Lerdo.
