ard persuaded her to go in search OF
Bennett And he stayed with pOth un-
til he had the joy Of witnessing Grace
Murray married to Rev John Bennett
John Wesley was broken hearted
and poured out his anguish IN
hymn of 81 six-line stanzas. Grace
was happily married for 80 years, a
respected mother and useIul woman
And had not Charles w esley inter-
fered John would never have been
known as a henpecked saint His
brother Charles's interference con-
demned him TO 20 years matrimonial
misery with a termaSant-a widow
named Nizelle, with four children and
an Independent fortune. Wesley's habits
of life, which he did not attempt
to accommodate 20 his wife, produced
an alienation and they separated.
Mrs. Wesley allowed the meanest
jealousies to occupy her attention. She
would drive a hundred miles to find
out what he was doing and who was
with him when he entered a town. She
opened his letters and listened at the
study door when any one came to see
HIM on business. She made him feel
that at home he was a bOarder and
abroad a prisoner at large She laid
violent hands upon him. One of his
preachers records finding the great
Methodist on the floor, Mrs Wesley
"foaming with rage, dragging him
about by the hair and still holding in
her hand some of the locks that she
lad puued out OF ms mead
Tainted by Wife.
She used to sit in the middle aisle
in City Road Chapel and make a mouth
AT him while he preached. One day he
declared that he had been accused of
every crime except drunkenness,
whereupon Mrs. Wesley arose and said:
John Wesley you know you were
drunk"
Wesley answered:
Thank God, the catalogue is COM
pletei'
Still, as one of the hymns of the Re
vival has it. THE bitter is sweet and
| the medicine is food Wesley was
wont to tell his friends that he believed
| that God overruled this prolonged sor-
( row for his good and that If Mrs. Wes-
/ lev had been n better wife he might
have been unfaithful to his great work
ard might have sought too much to
please her.

War Results in Increase
Of Marriages in Germany

Berlin. Germany, Nov. 21.-'War
marriages" viii materially increase
the number of marriages for Berlin
this year. When the war broke out
many officers, and in some cases pri-
Yates of the reserves and landwehr,
decided to marry on the eve of their
departure for the front, with the result
that August, 1914, shows a total OF
marriages for Berlin of 1888 as against
1903 for the same month of last year.
In the mobilization week, August rs.
5S41 marriage contracts were made, OF
which the largest number was due to
the outbreak of the war. The first
seven months of 1914 showed 1880
marriages
1t is believed here that the number
OF marriages in Berlin due to the war
is not far below $500. Some Of them
had been planned for the autumn and
winter seasons. and it is expected that
for this reason the average for these
months will fan below normal This
has already been demonstrated by the
records for September. in which month
1870 maria ges took place as against
1882 in September, 1913.

Jew YORK, Nov 21.-There are
M far less new fabrics upon the
- market this season than last
The variety, however, does not seem
to be lessened, for it merely means that
instead of the new we nave gone back
to many Of the fabrics which have been
considered passe for many. seasons.
Velour de LANES and ratine are re-
cent novelties which have held their
own. This year they have become
thicker and the pile Of the velour de
laine is heavier, making it seem al
most plush like.
Broadcloth is another fabric that has
a renewed vogue this year. and many
suits and costumes are to be seen OF it.

Wesley Susceptible to Women
Many Love Affairs Ended in His
Marrying a Shrew Who Made

MY bother was born, I think, for the
Denefit of knayes." His first love af-
fair was with Betty Kirkman, whose
brother was an intimate college friend
of Wesley and who became one of tho
original band of Methodists. Wesley
was naturally susceptible to the warm
attraction of intimate affections. He
speaks Of Betty with favor: ''On this
spot she sat" along this patb She
walked Here she showed that love
ly instance of condescension which
gave new beauty to the charming ar

WesIey's next romance came to him
in America On landing in GEORGIA. in
1876, he met a Miss Sophia Christiana
Hopkey. de was then 80. Miss Hop
key was of bright mind, elegant per-
son and agreeable manners. She
sought every possible opportunity to
be in his company. Gov. OglethorDe
did all he could to help on the court
ship. Wesley was taken i'll with a
fever and the young lady promptly
established herself as nurse. Deter

Ordinarily Wesley was a man of in

Flemish WindmiHs Are
Ordered Destroyed By
Allies; Are Dangerous

Antwerp. Belgium. Nov 21-orders
to smash up the windmills anywhere
within ten miles OF any possible en-
gagement9 have been issued by officers
of the allied armies.
It has been found that the Flemish
windmills are as dangerous as they
are picturesque. Many of them sur
mount lofty brick bases which give
the wheels a total height of 70 or 100
feet
The Germans were quick to avail
themselves Of these high Windmills as
signal stations, and both by day and
night they made use of them in many
o. the fights in Flanders.

CORDIALLY, Gordon was arrested by the
Trenton police on technical charge
of carrying concealed weapon, re-
volver being found in his pocket. At
the time he was placed IN custody a
young woman, who said she was Miss
| Martha Finn. of Philadelphia. and
| who first posed as Gordon's wife, was
| found with him. On complaint of
Liuetenant Ryan she was arrested as
| an accomplice.

! of Frederick Jagels, in Arlington
avenue, north. that city, that the
/ partners in crime we're using assumed
names. Both men, the chief believes.
came of good families and have used
/ aliases to save their families.
| The chief has heard Gordon's name
is Roy or Royal Delaney son of a
wealthy New Yorker, who is identi-
/ fed with big corporation there,
/ while the man who gives his name as
| Robert Meris is in reality Duncan
| Bishop. of Russiaville, Ind.
In addition to robbing the home of
/ Mr.. Jagels the thieves, Bishop admits,
robbed the house of James Crossley,
at Park and Arlington avenues. Both
are said to have figured in big New
