A HANDSOME VASSAR GIRLS STRANGE INFAT- UATION FOR AN IGNORANT MEXICAN, Las Cruces, N.M., October 2.—Katic Wood is ® beautiful girl of twenty, lovely, stylish, @ graduate of Vassar college and thoroughly ac complished. Her father, Judge Wood, is a wealthy citizen of this ‘piace, and gave his handsome daughter every educational udvan- tage that mone y could procure. His grief and shame may be Imagined when he discovered a few days ago that his daughter had eloped with an Ignorant, dirty, unattractive herd man on the ranch nanied Lits Madrid. The father could not ut first believe the dreadful news, but finally came to the conclusion that his daugh- ter's action must be due to sudden insanity. Acting on this idea, he procured a warrant for the arrest of his daughter and Madrid until the question could be judicially settled. ‘The daughter went home with her father until the hearing, which took — place Hesterday. | The court ruled that It had p jurisdiction over the question of insanity. ‘This led to @ controversy as to where the girl should stay untila commission, could be ralsed to Inquire into the question. Miss Wood said she did not want to stay with her father. She Was not Insane; she knew what she wax doing, and she was going to marry Madrid. Counsel for both sides told her fattier to make a last effort to persuade her not to marry Madrid. He said to her: “Katle, if you will go home with me I will take good’ care of you, and I now for the last time ask you to choose whether you will go with me or the Mexican.” she spoke out boldly and: unhesitatingly, “I will go with him” (meaning the Mexican.) Judge Wood, utterly dumfounded, arose to go home, simply suyIng to the Justice: “The sooner they are mar- ried the better,” and he and his son went away with heavy hearts, A marriage certificate was procured and the marriuge was soon over, and he young couple took seats together and congratulated by a number of friends. Th mexicans all seemed happy, but the Americans expressed disgust, such ‘a contrast. as the newly married couple presented while sittin; together is rarely seen. He can neither rea nor write, He speaks Spanish, but can not un- derstand English, while she speaks English but can not understand Spanish, It is a mos wonderful case of infatuation. Another Natural Bridge. WHAT A WASHINGTON MAN SAW IN KANSAS—A. BRIDGE WITH A CAVERN AS AN ADJUNCT. To the Editor of Tue EVENING STAR, In your last Saturday's edition was an inter- esting description of the “Rock Bridge of Ari- zona,” which prompts me to give you a descrip- tion of one of nature's works more wondertul, I think, than the new wonder of Arizona. Some years ago, while rusticating in the wilds, I en- countered a lone cowboy who guided me to a natural bridge and cave he had found while hunting for stray cattle In the canyons. Should you be a doubting Thomas, and wish to verify my story and description, you can go by rail to Hutchinson, Kansas, the thrifelest little city in the west, and from’ there by wagon road one hundred and twenty miles to a little old-time trading post called Sun City, near the west line of.

Scattered through the church could be seen veterans wearing the Grand Army blue and badges of mourning. ‘The program was short and interesting. For an hour before the exercises began Prof. Wid- dows played appropriate selections on the chimes. Dr. J. W. Bischoff opened the exer- cises with an organ voluntary. Department Commander M. M.

GEN. LOGAN'S ADDRESS, Gen, Logan's address embodied a recital from the standpoint of a personal observer of the military history of Gen. Grant. He then deseribed briefly, but in glowing terms the events of Grant's civil career and the honors showered upon him by our people at home and by men and nations abroad. “From Belmont to the slege ot Vicksburg, Logan In his summing up, ly all his marches, campai ing permitted by Vicksburg with my command on account of its having approached nearer the enemy than ai During my term as commander of that city, T was with him almost every day, and from the time when at the head of that gi old army of the Tennessee, of which he was the first commander and 1 his recelving stand at the national capital, and Inful days of his meiorable During all this Services Held Yesterday on the Site of streets, was laid yesterday afternoon in the ‘The procession, which formed at 3:30 o'clock in pecuilar fitness of which occu- né and battles, e possession of down w the last Aife, I was with hi time I was a close observer of him. usually known and recognized asa quiet and silent man, but when engaged in conversation on any subject in which he felt an interest there were few who excelled him as a conversatic ist.

CORRECTION OF VARIOUS MISSTATEMENTS, NaTURSt Barpge, Va., Sept. 29. To the Faltor of Tux EVENING Stan: T have seen two articles upon the Rocky Bridge of arizona, one of which states itas larger than the Natural Bridge of Virginia, and one giving its depth as from 25 to 40 feet—one as 60 feet long and twice the height of a man feet. The apparent cause was the wearing away of a underlying bed of sandstone. Isle Le Motte marble. Its cause is an absolute mystery. From base to roadway the wall is | the same, without sign of softness, cleft or dis- | placement! Its arch is perfect. A’ roadway of ordinary width passes over It, It 1850 feet higher than Niagara Falls. Your Metropolitan chureh could stand under the arch. ‘The height of this bridge exceeds 200, the width 100 and the arch 80 feet. Its roof is blue and its abut- ments reddened by the dripping from the iron veinsabove form a superb study of color. Let me now refer to another report published six months ago. A rock weighing: tons fell from the edge of the rock, The Associated Press re- port in the west proved@intil the bridge | wasgone. In the blocks that rest on the piers there are estimated to be 70,000 tons.
