In fact, it isof such a serious nature that he filed suit in the circuit court yesterday for $35,000 against E. S. Brigham, manager, and others con- nected with the Gillis theater, because of the play now being put on at that playhouse called ‘The James Boys in Missouri.” Not only is the play itself objectionable to Mr. James’ finer sensibilities, but he objects to the billboards about town upon which he is pictured as a train rob- ber. These pictures and the play, says Mr. James, have so damaged his good name and filled his soul with 80 much anguish that he demands $25,000 actual damages and $10,- 000 punitive damages. The Wise Insurance Man. A few years after the civil war B H. Ingram was agent at Sedalia for a Milwaukee life insurance company. At about that time the company raised the limit of its beneficiaries to $50,000 and asked Mr. Ingram to write a few policies for that sum. The president of the company offered to make liberal terms to five men whom Mr. Ingram might select. He chose Col. A. D. Jaynes. Capt. John M. Sneed, John R. Barrett. John T. Heard and Major Richard H. Melton. All of these agreed to be insured, and Mr. Ingram forwarded their papers. Afew days later he received word from the head office that Jaynes. Sneed and Barrett had been accept- ed, but that Heard and Melton had been rejected. He tried hard to get Heard and Melton accepted, but the company positively relused, saying they had physicial disabilities that make them bad risks.

[., of a joke played on Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish by Har- ry Lehr, and it is causing merriment in , the cottage colony. When in front of the Casino one morning Mrs. Fish told Mr. Lehr that | she .wished that there was a portrait | painter in town, as she desired to have | a picture painted. Mr. Lehr told the popular matron that there was such a man, a well-known Italian painter of miniatures, and that he had just ar- rived in town, and that if Mrs. Fish would allow him he would go and bring him to her. Mrs, Fish was agreeable, and Mr. Lehr departed for the painter. He soon re- turned with a distinguished-looking person, who was formally introduced to Mrs. Fish, and arrangements were at once made for a sitting. When the time came for the painter to appear at Crossways, Mrs, Fish was surprised to see Mr. Lehr drive up with a roll in his hand. She asked the cause of the visit, and it was then that Mr. Lehr told her of the joke that he had played and that the supposed painter was no other than the well-known violinist, Signor G. Ricci, who had asked Mr. Lehr to present Mrs, Fish with a copy of a new waltz which he had just com- posed and dedicated to her. The name of the waltz is “The Lead- ing Society Lady,” and Mrs. Fish re- ceived the copy with thanks for the au- thor. . MAKES WIFE WORK AS HORSE. Nebraska Man Threatened with Lynching for Hitching Her to Har- row When Short of Animals, Joseph Holdoebler, a native of Aus- tria, was recently bound over to the district court under $500 bonds for wife beating at Randolph, Neb. His offense was brutal and the people of Randolph declare they will lynch him if the court does not do justice in the case, Holdoebler came here early this year and with $800 of his wife's money bought machinery and rented a farm near by. Mrs. Holdoebler is slightly built, but Holdoebler used her for a horse when he was short of animals. A specific instance was referred to in the trial, when Holdoebler hitched his wife to a disk harrow one Sunday. He carried a rope, and when she lagged behind the horses he flogged her with the rope. She then escaped to a neigh- bor's with her six-months-old baby. It also developed in the trial that Holdoebler advertised for another wife and read the answers to Mrs, Holdoe- bler to torment her. In the courtroom Holdoebler crawled about, clinging to his wife's knees and begging for mercy. The wife at last refused to lis- ten to him, and he went to jail. FORECASTS HIS OWN DEATH. Chicago Man, According to Preidio« tion at Deathbed of Wife, Passes Away Two Months Later. “T cannot live without you. I will fol- low you within two months. It will not be longer.” Mathias Luecker, of Chicago, his voice broken with sobs, spole these words eight weeks ago at the deathbed of his wife. The other aay, almost tothe hour, he died. His wish has been fulfilled. On the day he died he said to his son, Mathias, that the end of the two months would come within a few hotirs. The son treated the remark as a joke, but when he went to his father's home at 1¢ o'clock that night he found him dead. Luecker was a prominent figure of the old Fifth ward, in which he had been known politically for several years. Mrs. Luecker died from heart disease the evening of May 4. Shortly before she died her husband and children gath- ered by her bedside. It was at that time Luecker told his wife he would follow her within two months. Since her death ker’s health stead a and his children noticed that he was grief- strici.en. Nothing was thought of the remarks he made to his dying wife until the day when he said the end of the two months was drawing near. NOW WRITE BY TELEPHONE. Machine Called the Telechirograph In Invented by a German Scientist. A machine by which one's handwrit- ing may be transmitted by a telephone wire is the invention of E. Karl Gruhn, of Dresden, Germany, and recently be- ing exhibited at New York. It is called the telechirograph, but it is in fact merely a greatly improved form of telautograph. This instrument differs from telau- tographs heretofore invented in that ‘the power required is much !ess than that needed for others doing the same thing.

Wilson, of Cleveland, O., to Adah Herrington Requa, of Kansas City, recently caused reat prise among their friends at C:ty, Mo, for the reason that Mr. Wilson came to Kansas City te Marry another young woman, who changed her mind a short time before the day set for the wedding and broke off the engagement. In the summer of 1900, when the democratic national convention met in this city, Harry Wilson attended the convention as delegate. During his stay in the city he met Miss Clifton Mills and her closest friend, Miss Adah Requa. Mr. Wilson took particular fancy to Miss Mills and after returning to Cleveland he began corresponding with her and made frequent visits to Kan- sas City to see her. In due time the young people became engaged and the wedding day was fixed. The other day Mr. Wilson came to Kansas City for the wedding. After a short visit from her be trothed, Miss Mills suddenly changed her mind and broke off the engage ment. Mr. Wilson appeared to be very much grieved, but he had come to Kansas City to be married and did not intend to have his trip for nothing, so he laid siege to the heart of Miss Requa, the friend, who capitulated within 48 hours, They were married and have gone to Cleveland, where they will occupy the home prepared for Miss Mills.

Even $1,800 more a year couldn't stop me from playing baseball. Why, when they sent for me and told me they want- ed me at $3,000, I told them I wanted to think ft over. I told them I played first base, pitched well, rode a bicycle, played tennis, and if I came I wanted them to realize that I wasn’t treating the cloth with lack of dignity if I con- tinued at the manly sports. “But the deacons up there shook their heads and said ‘No’ very firmly. They told me to think it over, and I did. I sent them word this week that I would rether stay here and play ball at $1,200 than go up there and not play ball at $3,000. That was finol, and here Iam.” Rev. Mr. Giffin is 29 years old, tall, broad-shouldered and an all-around ath- lete. REFUSES TO LEAVE PRISON.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GAs BRITISH CABINET GOES TO PIECES. Chamberlain, Ritchie and Hamil- ton Resign Because of Fric- tion Over the Colonial Secre- tary’s Ideas on Fiscal Policy. London, September 19—The ex- pected split in the British cabinet came to-day, Joseph Chamberlain, colonial secretary; Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state for In- dia, and Sir Charles Ritchie, chancel- lor of the exchequer, tendered their resignations, and they were accepted by the king. The resignations are due to the ministers’ inability to re. coneile themselves with the cover. ment’s opposition to Chamberlain's new polivy of a modified form of tariff protection, Mr-Chomberlain inthis -tter-of resignation,says the question of pref erential tariffa favoring coloni s can not be pressed now successfully, although he is convinced there is a strong feeling in favor of fiscal re- form. Mr, Chamberlain declares En gland had better arrange closer un- ion with her colonies by means of preferential tariffs before it is too late. The intimation is that if No- gland declines to adopt anew tariff policy soon she may lose some of her colonies, Replying to Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Balfour says the scheme is im rac- ticable now, as the people are not ripe for it. He expresses sympathy with Chamberlain, saying that under thecireumstances he cannot see what else Chamberlain could do but resign and carry on a campaign of educa tion to teach the country the neces- sity and practicability of his fiscal policy. lvis believed Chamberlain's resig- nation will cause the government to | appeal to the voters, in which event Mr, Chamberlain would probably need indorsement for his scheme. He has admitted to his colleagues that a Liberal government would, with- out a doubt, be returned, but he be- lieves it would be deposed withina few months. He counts the full Irish support for his retaliatory tariff. i} is Over-Run With Get- Rich-Quick Humbugs! The Country Avoid all such!
