Chicago, March 6.- A small purse containing a check for $41,000 on the State Bank of Elkhart, Ind, tiade payable to H. L. Stevens, and signed by Mrs. Mabel Mills, was teund last night by William Dibos, a saloonkeeper, who turned the check civer to the police. Mrs. Mills had taken dinner with Mrs. H. L. Stevens, wife of the man whose name is the same as that on the check, and she is supposed to have lost this money after leaving the Stevens house the same evening. Elkhart bank officials state that Mrs. Vills had no account there. Mrs. Mills came into world-wide notice a few days ago by depositing $41,000 with a hotel clerk, later placing it in her handbag. On the street later she had a fainting spell and the money disappeared. PATCHED UP PEACE IN MIAMI. Boston, Mass., March ¢.—The so- clety sensation of the Back Bay sea- son came late today when it was Icarned that Joseph 8. Bigelow, Jr., the young Commonwealth avenue clubman, and yachtsman, has been married since last September to Miss Ernest Zazan, a Temple Place manicurist. The bride is of Cuban descent. The marriage took place in Philadelphia. The couple went 2hoard Bizelow's yacht, the Seriola, and started on a honeymoon ecruis: down the Atlantic coast. The rroom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Smith Vigelow, Sr., rushed Sonth and found the conple aboard the Seriola off Mi- i, Fla. There was a stormy meet- , but a peace was patched up, and the manfenre pride is being recelved into the rich Bigelow family. = " | — SENATOR NAT LRYA\I 0 +ERED FEDERAL JUDGESHIP. . Don. A. Pardee, scnior United alates cnrbun judge in this circuit, has appointed Hon. William B. Sheppard, of the Northern District oi Florida, to hold court in the Scuthern District of Florida until a district udge can be appointed by the president and confirmed by the U. 8. Senate after it has confirmed the ap- pointment of Mr. Wilson's cabinet. From a source that appears to be unquestioned it is announced that the position has been offered to Unit- eq States Senator Nat. P. Bryan by the persons whose recommendation will be accepted by President Wil- son in naming a judge for this dis- trict. Senator Bryan has not as yet indicated his prefercnce in the mat- o, the information says. Of course the ensuing senatorial vacancy will not go begsing should Senator Bryan accept and there would be an ad interim appointment by Governor Trammell. This ap- pointee would hold office until the State Legislature meets two years hence assuming that Mr. Bryan will not resign until after the coming session adjourns. This would allow a State primary at that time.——Jack- sonville Metropolis. MNNETY FELT FOR INERIGINS SAFETY Reported That chcml Gunboat Will Shell Mexican Town, (By Associated Press.)

During the ycars he, was away no member of his family heard from him, brothers and sis- ters long ago giving up for dead the brother who left the parental roof away back in 1886 beeause of either a real or fancied disagrecient with his father.

Brazil and Peru next appealed to him and four years were spent in those countries, followed by a resi- dence of a few years in Panama.

New York, March 6.—Thomas Stevens, 74 years old, who says he has lived in San Francisco for thirty- six years, is detained at Ellis Island until the immigration authorities ccmmunicate with his nephew and learn whether the aged man’s ex- penditures across the continent wilk b defrayed. Stevens was born in England, and during his long resi- dence in this country neglected, he said, to take out naturalization pa- pers. He arrived today in the steam- er Celtic from England, where he was called by the death of his broth- er. He arrived here with less than $20, and because of his enfecbled condition and danger that he would bccome a public charge he was de- tained. If Joseph Stevens, the nephew in San Francisco, whom Stevens says 1s well-to-do, fails to send money for his raflroad fare to San Francisco the aged man will be deported. HILLES GETS A BIG RAISE.
