THE ARMY OF PENSIONERS Fifty Thousand New Names Put upon the Rolls During the Year. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The first annual report of Commissioner of Pensiones Clay Evans to the Secretary of the Interior was made public to-day. There were added to the pension rolls during the year, the names of 50,100 new pensioners, and there were restorto the rolls 3971 pensioners who had been previously dropped, a total of 54,072. During the same period the lossses to the roll were 31,960 by death; 1074 by remarriage of mothers and widows; 1845 by legal limitations (minors); 2683 for failure to claim pension for three years, and 4560 for other causes, an agre-gate of 41,122.

Charley Rogers and His Party of Adventuresome Spirits Back in San Francisco—The Ill Fated Mare Island Expedition Abandoned—Could Not Get Over the Yukon Bar—Caught in the Ice and Released—After a Hazardous Experience of Misfortune, the Gold Hunters Return to Civilization, Out a Good Bit of Money, but Having Had a Plenty of Experience. On Friday morning letters arrived from Charley Rogers, to his family and the millionaire syndicate, announcing that he had arrived in San Francisco, from St. Michaels, two evenings before, together with some twenty of the adventuresome spirits who departed on the ill-starred North Fork expedition leaving San Francisco Aug. 18 last. Rogers' announcement that he had returned, when it was believed he was well on the journey up the Yukon, which he spoke about in his previous letter, caused surprise, and put a dampener upon the spirits of the syndicate who had about settled down with the conviction that nothing would be heard from their man until next summer, when visions of rich finds were hoped for. But all this is changed now, and whether another expedition will be fitted out in the spring is a question. The North Fork-Mare Island expedition was ill-starred from the start. The trip by water to St. Michaels was hazardous, but the difficulties that beset the expedition began in earnest once they reached Behring sea. At St. Michaels the party changed from the North Fork to the river boat Mare Island, which had been taken up in tow, and an attempt made to get up the Yukon. It was found the Mare was unfitted for that purpose, the boat drawing too much water. The Mare was caught in the ice, along with the boats Alice and Merwin, and it was at unwashed, and the passengers who had given an equivalent of $30 in labor and $15 in coin, to be taken a distance of forty-five miles, were told that they might either wash the dishes themselves or use them as they were. The coal pile furnished beds for such of the men as did not find the iron grating of the engine-room a grateful refuge. The day following their reception on the President proved to be stormy, so the steamer did not leave St. Michaels, but the next morning a start was made and about 12 o'clock arrived at Unalaklik. The weather was cold and there was considerable ice along shore. The tide being out the water was too shallow to land freight, though Capt. Tyson succeeded in getting about 800 pounds of his goods on shore, which he was subsequently compelled to abandon. It was seen by those who tried to land that it would be a very difficult task to do anything until the rising of the tide or every piece of freight would have to be taken from the small boats and carried for a long distance by hand, so it was decided to wait until the following morning. In the meantime four of the party, consisting of Olaf Winningstad, Chas. S. Rogers, Thomas B. Shipp and Mrs. McNaught, entered into a business agreement that would necessitate their presence in San Francisco during the winter, and they at once secured passage from the captain for this city. With the dawn of Wednesday morning the impatience of the captain knew no bounds. He vented his ill feeling on whoever approached him. An ice wind prevailed, and the skinboats which it had been arranged should be sent out by the Indians to take off the freight did not appear at the time agreed upon. Captain Nelson then decided that he would wait no longer, and without telling the passengers what he intended to do or offering to take them back to St. Michaels, whither they were all willing to go, he weighed anchor and started for San Francisco. The idea of such a proceeding had been broached among the passengers, but was laughed at as a good joke, for no one dreamed that in this day and age could such a high-handed outrage be perpetrated. The men who intended to take the portage to Nulato are all strong, energetic people, equipped with two years' provisions, which had cost them, in ad- SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Some time ago the State Board Trade sent a letter to the Secretary Agriculture, asking that he help State by sending to Smyrna for carrying insects that make the fig yield fruit that will reproduce its kern. A letter has been received from the pariment stating that the desired sects will be secured for the Coast. The San Francisco Miners' Association has adopted a report of a committee on the subject of celebrating fiftyth anniversary of the discovery gold in California. January 24th n'the report recommends that the Governor be requested to declare the holiday and that the Mayor of San Francisco, the Society of Pioneers, California Miners' Association other organizations be asked to aid making the celebration a success. Overland passengers passing through the Indian territory bring information that the Delawares are gathering hundreds on Beaver creek, abstaining sixty miles west of Chelsea, to celebrate their annual honey smoke. Thousand Indians are already present and hundreds are arriving daily. honey smoke is an anole custum among these Indians and has been celebrated annually for the past twelve years. Judge Torrance of San Diego Friday rendered a decision in contempt case against Acting War Edgar of San Quentin Prison for hanging Joseph Ebanks, the condemner; at that prison on October 16th date fixed for his execution Judge Torrance fined the acting war $200 for contempt, rendering a lion opinion to the effect that the war had exceeded his powers in failing carry out the orders of the court Captain Edgar will appeal from sentence.

Ussand New Names Put upon Rolls during the Year. INGTON, Nov. 5.—The first art of Commissioner of Penny Evans to the Secretary Interior was made public to-day. He added to the pension rolls the year, the names of 50,101 members, and there were restorations 3971 pensioners who had seriously dropped, a total of the same period the losses to there 31,960 by death; 1074 by age of mothers and widows; legal limitations (minors); 2683 to claim pension for three 4560 for other causes, an aggrieved 41,122. The whole number pens on the rolls June 30, 1897.4. The gain over the prey was 5336. Seven wildows stationary soldiers and nine daughteen revolutionary soldiers are the rolls. The year 76,234 claims of cases were disallowed. This however, does not include which were made for higher pensions. The amount disbursement by the pensioning the year was $139,799,242.amount disbursement by the treatment was $150,475, a total of 17. This exceeds the amount finds were hoped for. But all this is changed now, and whether another expedition will be fitted out in the spring is a question. The North Fork-Mare Island expedition was ill-starred from the start. The trip by water to St. Michaels was hazardous, but the difficulties that beset the expedition began in earnest once they reached Behring sea. At St. Michaels the party changed from the North Fork to the river boat Mare Island, which had been taken up in tow, and an attempt made to get up the Yukon. It was found the Mare was unfitted for that purpose, the boat drawing too much water. The Mare was caught in the ice, along with the boats Alice and Merwin, and it was at one time apprehended the three boats would be crushed in the ice. By a providential rising of the tide, resulting in the cracking of the ice, the boats were liberated, one by one, the Mare being the first to get out, and although great danger of destruction was imminent, the boats reached the open sea in safety. Full accounts of the expedition have already appeared in these columns. The San Francisco Call of Thursday, Nov. 4, contains the following account of the return of Charley Rogers and his party of gold hunters from St. Michaels: Another bedraggled reach on the steam schooner President at about 10:30 p.m. last evening. They were mostly men and women who left here on the North Fork, and they state that they got no further than Minook. There were about twenty in the party. As soon as the President docked at Folsom wharf 2 the party all scampered onto the wharf and off as soon as they could get under way. An account of the manner in which they fared and other details are furnished in the following letter by Mrs. Elma McNaught, one of those who returned on the vessel: On Sunday, October 10, a small party consisting of Chas. S. Rogers, Olaf Winningstad, Captain M. Tyson (former commander of the Mare Island) Thomas B. Shipp, Colonel J. H. Pearson, H. C. Warwick, A. C. Cabel, Geo. Mason, Charles Johnson, B. F. Gray, A.W. Medows, Henry Peters, D.J. Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. E. Neusler, Otto Paul, B.R. Jones, T.O. Griffith, H.Kendall and Mrs. John McNaught left the Mare Island and went into camp at St. Michaels with the intention of either remaining there till the snow should freeze and they could move by sleds, or of securing some kind of a boat that would take them and their outfits to Unalaklik, a small Indian village about forty-five miles distant from St. Michaels, where they could engage Indians with dogs and sleds to take them across the portage, a distance of 125 miles, which would bring them out on the Yukon river at Nulato, about 600 miles from St. Michaels. On Wednesday, October 13, Captain Tyson made an arrangement with the captain of the steamer President, which had arrived a few days before with lumber for the Liebes Fur Company, to take the party to Unalaklik, the fare to be $15 in cash each and the help of most of the men in discharging the President's cargo. The captain stated at the time that he had been unable to engage men to aid his crew, though he had been offering a day an hour for labor. Men could not be had at any price. It was represented to the party that the work of discharging the cargo would occupy about a day or a day and a half. Instead, it proved to be three days of the hardest kind of work imaginable. The heavy sent out by the Indians to take off the freight did not appear at the time agreed upon. Captain Nelson then decided that he would wait no longer, and without telling the passengers what he intended to do or offering to take them back to St. Michaels, whither they were all willing to go, he weighed anchor and started for San Francisco. The idea of such a proceeding had been broached among the passengers, but was laughed at as a good joke, for no one dreamed that in this day and age could such a high-handed outrage be perpetrated. The men who intended to take the portage to Nulato are all strong, energetic people, equipped with two years' provisions, which had cost them, in addition to the purchase price, 10 cents a pound to get it to the point from which it is now returned. They are naturally aggrieved at the treatment they have received. After having paid their fare to Dawson and made a large outlay for supplies and camp outfits, they are now landed at their starting point with all their freight on hand and a year's time thrown away, as it was their intention to spend this winter prospecting some of the tributaries of the Yukon, and from information they had received they had every reason to expect to be well paid for their efforts. Considerable coarse gold had been brought in by Indians to Unalaklik from Anvick creek, and Mr. Englestadt, an Indian trader who has made his home in Unalaklik for the past twelve years, and who is thoroughly acquainted with the country, and has great influence among the Indians, was to be one of the exploring party. The goddess of fortune waved her wand to the little band of goldseekers, but evil fortune prevented approach to her. Notwithstanding the deep disappointment which each passenger was a prey to they endured the discomforts of the journey to San Francisco with but few complaints. Cots and a table were improvised for their use in the hold, and though during most of the rough voyage an inch or more of water swashed about their feet, they kept their tempers and even manifested a considerable degree of cheerfulness. The President, not being intended for passengers, had few accommodations for such, and only place of refuge was the engine-room in which there were no seats. The iron grating of the floor was thankfully accepted in lieu of chairs or benches, and the returning Klondikers spent most of the time there, till last four days of the voyage, when the weather, which had been continuously rough and stormy, changed and became so delightful that the deck was henceforth used as a salon. It is the intention of the shanghaiied passengers to seek legal redress for the injustice that has been done them. The President also brought down as passengers Mrs Louise Hasselbusch, J.H. Hasselbusch, both of Berkeley, and Mrs R.L. Quesenberg of Stockton, these three having made the trip on same ship to St Michaels, but finding on their arrival that conditions were different from what they expected, returned without even going ashore. Mr Hasselbusch weighs over 400 pounds, and intended to establish a restaurant at St Michaels, but could not get luggage to build a house. He has now concluded to go to Juneau. PORTLAND Or., Nov. 4.-President Mason of the Portland Chamber of Commerce to-day sent the following telegram to Secretary of War Alger at Washington: "Starvation and death confront the unfortunate miners on the Yukon through failure of the trading companies to get supplies into the interior city's first Mayor, Robert A.Wyck.

The captain stated at the time that he had been unable to engage men to aid his crew, though he had been offering a dollar an hour for labor. Men could not be had at any price. It was represented to the party that the work of discharging the cargo would occupy about a day or a day and a half. Instead, it proved to be three days of the hardest kind of work imaginable. The heavy lumber had to be loaded on to a barge, which, on account of the shallow water, could not approach nearer than fifty yards of the shore. There it was reloaded into rowboats, and then carried on the shoulders of the men, who had to step from rock to rock to land it above high water. When the freight had all been removed the men were then called upon to haul two scows out of the water and put them upon dry land. The men thought they were paying rather a high price for their passage, but accepted the situation good naturedly. On Saturday, October 16, the party came on board the President with their supplies and camp outfits. About the time of starting from land it commenced to snow hard and just at dark they arrived alongside the steamer, tired, cold and hungry, and then trouble commenced. Everybody was anxious to get under cover and the freight was thrown into the hold with more haste than care. Flour, beans, sugar, coal oil, matches, powder and cartridges were heaped into one indistinguishable mass. Super was now supposed to be in order, but the hungry gold-seekers had a surprise in store for them. They had been fairly well boarded during the time they were at work, but now that their time of service was about ended the captain concluded that fasting was good enough for the — Klondikers. The two ladies of the party were told that they might eat in the dining-room, but the men were sent down in the hold, where food served in pans set out on boxes without plates, knives or folks, was placed before them. A few of the more venturesome tackled the cook and succeeded in securing a few plates, cups, etc. On the following morning the dishes were sent up to the kitchen, but when the morning meal came down it was accompanied by the same table service Mr. Hasselbusch weighs over 400 pounds, and intended to establish a restaurant at St. Michaels, but could not get lumber to build a house. He has now concluded to go to Juneau. PORTLAND Or., Nov. 4.—President Mason of the Portland Chamber of Commerce to-day sent the following telegram to Secretary of War Alger at Washington: "Starvation and death confront the unfortunate miners on the Yukon through failure of the trading companies to get supplies into the interior before the close of navigation on the Yukon. The Chamber of Commerce of Portland has undertaken to relieve the distress which must appear before the ice fetters of the Yukon release the supply steamers, and for the purpose it will donate provisions and necessary supplies. "The Chamber of Commerce asks the co-operation of the War Department in transporting this relief from the city of Portland to the most accessible point on the Alaskan coast, whence the relief expedition may carry it to the imprisoned gold miners." Our duty to suffering humanity demands the sacrifice that may be necessary to accomplish this end. Will you co-operate with us in the undertaking?" The three-year-old boy of J. A Johnson, of Lynn Center, Ill, is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied that the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, during a severe attack, saved his little boy's life. He is in the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Bros. of that place; and they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to choose from, and skilled physiolans ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for its cores of croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle, and that it gives splendid satisfaction in all cases. For sale by P. A. Berge.

A marriage in a lion's cage was celebrated at 9:30 o'clock on Thursday in Boston Zoo. The bridegirl was Prof. Arthur St. Annessey, a German teacher of violin, who has lived some six months in Boston, and bride was Miss Louise Charlotte Berg, a Boston-bred girl, who lives her mother in Chandler street. Zoo was so crowded that an hour before the ceremony she management forbidden to sell any more tickets. The mammoth lions, Caesar and Patra, were quite excited at their usual crowd. The notes of the pipegan announced the entrance of her bridal pair. They were preceded four guards and by a boys' chorus twenty-four voices. The ceremony performed by Rev. George Reade Methodist minister. Trainer William Emery, armed with a heavy whiptered the cage first, and the bridegroom followed. The lions show more self-consciousness than any else, and really seemed ill at ease. The ceremony occupied four minutes. When the couple stopped outside a cage a great cheer went up.

The body of the oldest was found midway between President's wife asked for a pasteboard box, a piece of string and a sheet of manila paper. She placed the little socks in the box, wrote a note and deposited it with them, wrapped the box in paper, folded it neatly and tied it with twine. Then she dipped the pen in ink and wrote on the box: "Mrs. Grover Cleveland, Princeton, N. J." Friday evening, when she had read the papers and learned of the event at Princeton, Mrs. McKinley smiled, but her smile had a trace of discomfiture. The bootles which she had sent to Mrs. Cleveland were blue; and—as all the world which has had experience in such things well knows—blue booties are for girls and pink for boys. Nearly a century ago, in Albany, Rev. Eliphalet Nott, who was president of Union College, Schnectady, from 1804 to 1866, pronounced a eulogy on Alexander Hamilton which attracted wide attention because of its eloquence. Last Sunday week Rev. Madison C. Peters, pastor of Bloomingdale Reform Church, N. Y., who has attained some fame as a political pulpit orator, delivered a sermon in praise of Henry George. The Press worked the deadly parallel, in which part of Rev. Peters' sermon is shown to be a verbatim copy of the eulogy delivered over Hamilton's body by Rev. Nott. Rev. Peters' attention was called to the similarity. He said it was remarkable. A cowardly attempt to assassinate Mrs. John Henry, a prominent and wealthy woman in her home at Clifton, O., was made Wednesday morning by Lindsay Neighbert, a gardener whom she had recently discharged. While she was at breakfast alone Neighbert suddenly entered the room and began firing at her. A servant bravely seized the assassin, after he had fired two shots, and pushed him out of the room. He fled to the woods, where, an hour or two later, he was found dead with a bullet through his head. Mrs. Henry's life was saved by the bravery of Delsine Barrett, who overpowered Neighbert. The lady's wounds are in the arm and are not regarded as serious. Neighbert had been suspected of theft and was discharged the next day after the marriage of Miss Henry to E. McCormick because a number of articles were missing. He was 50 years of age. A supplemental complaint has been filed in the San Jose court in the suit to be a "voodoo" and proof against a snake bite, and, picking up, the reptile, wound its folds around his throat and body. His hand slipped from the snake's throat, and instantly the poisonous fangs were buried in his breast. He lingered that night in terrible agony, his body swelling to horrible proportions, and died in the morning. Counterfeit silver dollars of greater weight and fineness than those turned out from Uncle Sam's mint are the latest in the counterfeiters' art. For the last week St. Louis bank tellers have been accepting the counterfeits in question without hesitation. It was only when they reached the St. Louis Sub-Treasury that their spurious character was determined. United States Treasurer Small sent one to the Director of the Mint for assay. The coin weighs 13¼ grains more than the genuine, which weighs 412¼ grains. Its fineness is 94 per cent, while that of the genuine is but 90 per cent. A complaint in equity has been filed in the Superior Court of Sutter county by Edward Lynch against the directors of the Brown's Valley Irigation District. The plaintiff attacks the validity of the creation of the irrigation district, which by virtue of the Wright Act, claims to be acting as a quasi-public corporation. The complaint questions the right of the directors to perform certain acts, discredits the legality of elections on various occasions when the issuance of bonds was approved, and disputes the right of the assessor of the district to make levies. The plaintiff asks that the bonds of the district and the organization of the district be declared null and void, and prays that a similar decree operate against the assessment levied this year by the directors of the district. The wedding of Frank Alderete and Miss Metta Mueller, which was to have taken place in the Presbyterian church in East Los Angeles one evening last week, had to be unavoidably postponed on account of the unexplained absence of the groom. The altar had been decorated and the guests had assembled, but the bridegroom failed to appear. The guests waited some time in astonishment, and the eyes of the bride became tearful at the awkward delay. Finally the wedding party was thrown into confusion when it was learned that the groom had mysteriously disappeared. Searching parties were organized and Alderman Children of Michael McNulty life, who lived near Montcalm Quebec, were brutally butchered on Friday. The parents had come to denounce transact some business, or their three daughters and a home. During their absence a former named Carrin called. He the bodies of two of the girls on board of the kitchen with their cut. The body of the oldest bear was found midway between house and the barn in a similar room, and the boy's remains were buried in the barn. No possible for the atrocious crimes has beenolved from acting as such or evading or collecting assessments against its land. The plaintiff is further that the irrigation system of insufficient capacity and that acres belonging to the plaintiff never be irrigated under it. United States Fish Commission's Alabatross has arrived at Alaskan waters. Report of Commander Moser will state that the Alaskan salmon will dislodge if there are not efforts made to separate the fish and restock the river. This is recognized by the company, and some of them are maintain- private hatcheries to fill the runs from which they draw their mussels. Last year the output of Alaskan packers was one million of 48 pounds each, or 48,000,000 of canned salmon. This year was a material falling off. It is stood that Commissioner Briceask Congress for enough money publish hatcheries and thus keep the salmon in the northern waters. Under Moser reports that many plants in these waters were in the traps of the Alaska cannery this year. Than 55,000 persons will direct-indirectly draw pay from the City of New York in the ada-tion of the newly elected Governor Robert A. Van A conservative estimate of who will draw payment indirectly in the city through contracts and take is 22,000. Mayor Strong, at one the Greater City charter was estimated this force as equal to exceeding, the actual number of vice-holders. Second only to the extent of the United States in the patronage, the first Mayor Greater City is first in significance of this patronage. With his col- elect of the same political par- imself, Mr. Van Wyck can lead any office-holders and those in employe- dy by the city as great Army of the Potomac. A supplemental complaint has been filed in the San Jose court in the suit of Chas. B. Polhemus vs. Antoine Borel and Louise Barroilhet, executor and executrix of the will of the late Charles Mayne. According to the complaint Charles McLaughlin and Alexander Houston were engaged during the years 1860 and 1863 in laying the track of the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad. The contractors borrowed large sums of money from Mr. Polhemus, Peter Donohue and H.M. Newhall, the aggregate finally reaching nearly $1,250,000. Polhemus sold his share in the road to Mayne, who afterwards disposed of it to the Southern Pacific. It is alleged, at a big profit. Polhemus charges that Mayne concealed from him the profits that were made in the business while acting as his trustee, and consequently he asks for an accounting and thinks that he ought to be paid more than $600,000. The answer to the suit filed by Mayne in his lifetime denies most of the allegations and sets forth two assignments and settlements of all claims held against him by Polhemus, in one of which Polhemus acknowledged the receipt of $20,000 as payment in full. Two of the largest banks in San Francisco are about to exchange their State for National charters. On December 1 the Sather Banking company, one of the oldest and best-known financial institutions in that city, organized forty years ago, will become the San Francisco National Bank, and about the first of the year the Nevada Bank, so long identified with the fortunes of the bonanza kings, Flood, Fair, Mackay and O'Brien, will become the Nevada National Bank. The San Francisco National will have a capital of $500,000. Under the new charter of the Nevada that bank will retain its present capitalization of $3,000,000, said to be the largest capital of any national bank west of New York, except the First National of Chicago. Under the new charters there will be no change in the directorates or officers of either bank. It is said that other large commercial banks in the city are about to follow the example of these two institutions. A dozen very advanced spinsters of Cape May, N.J.-advanced in ideas, not age—have adopted a constitution, by-laws and named and sketched out a vigorous plan of campaign against matrimony in general and the advances of fickle youth in particular. The suggestion of "Bachelor Malds" as the name of the club was greeted with superlative expressions of approval. A motion made that any girl who marries be expelled, drummed out and made to run the gauntlet, was amended so that no member may get married without the consent of the club. The motion that the club discountenance summer engagements created a heated argument; the Chair rapped for order and declared that all present were actuated by a common impulse, and that all are disgusted with the frivolity, conceit and fickleness of man. The Secretary forgot to take notes and it took an hour to straighten things out.

The altar had been decorated and the guests had assembled, but the bridegroom failed to appear. The guests waited some time in astonishment, and the eyes of the bride became tearful at the awkward delay. Finally the wedding party was thrown into confusion when it was learned that the groom had mysteriously disappeared. Searching parties were organized and Aldereate was found wandering aimlessly about the streets. He was placed in a carriage and driven to his home seriously ill. Subsequently it developed that young man, being faint-hearted, had succumbed under the "joshing" of his friends and the thought of the grave responsibility which he was about to take upon himself. In a condition other than normal he had failed to find the church. The next day he recovered and a minister was hunted up, who performed the marriage ceremony at home of the bride's parents. The couple then left on a wedding trip. Twenty members of North Fork Alaskan expedition who returned to San Francisco on the steamer President from St. Michaels last week say that they were brought down against their will. Finding that the old river steamer Mare Island was unable to carry them from St. Michaels to the mouth of the Yukon owing to adverse currents, and the boats's excessive draft, they decided to go overland to the gold fields, and when the President was preparing to leave, twenty of them made arrangements with Captain Nelson to take them from that port to Unalakik on the main land, whence they would begin their journey toward Dawson. On arriving at Unalakik, the master of the steamer refused to land the passengers, claiming that it was impossible to force a boat to the shore on account of the ice which was forming along the beach, and also that by sending them ashore to commence a journey as they proposed would be aiding them to their deaths. Therefore, they kept aboard and brought to San Francisco. The schooner Bessie K. arrived at St. Michaels the day before the President sailed with fourteen gold hunters headed by W.W.Coffee. The schooner will winter there and the party will proceed up the river in the spring on the steamer El Sueno. James Leighton, a well-known citizen of Fresno, has left the city with his former wife, Mrs. Alice Leighton. They left for the north, presumably to seek high seas or some other State where the bonds of matrimony that were severed by the court a few weeks ago may be reunited. Within past three months they had separated and become reconciled no less than three times. Finally Mrs. Leighton sued for a divorce. The husband was willing that she should have it and allowed judgment to be taken against him by default. The love between the man and woman who had lived together for over twenty years, was not to be dissipated so easily. Shortly after the divorce Leighton proceeded to lay siege to the heart of his former wife again. Experience had taught him how to wage his suit successfully and he won. Then that troublesome law passed by last Legislature, prohibiting divorced persons from marrying again within a year, presented itself in their way. It was to overcome this law that the fiance and his bride-elect left Fresno. Whither they have gone is marriage in a lion's cage was duly dated at 9:30 o'clock on Thursday Boston Zoo. The bridegroom of Arthur St. Annessey, a Hunts teacher of violin, who has lived six months in Boston, and the Miss Louise Charlotte Wiener Boston-bred girl, who lives with another in Chandler street. He was so crowded that an hour before ceremony the management was led to sell any more tickets to mammoth lions, Caesar and Cleo were quite excited at the unrowl. The notes of the pipe announced the entrance of the pair. They were preceded by guards and by a boys' chorus of four voices. The ceremony was named by Rev. George Readon, a district minister. Trainer William J. armed with a heavy whip, entered the cage first, and the bride and her followed. The lions showed self-consciousness than anyone and really seemed ill at ease. Ceremony occupied four minutes, the couple stepped outside the great cheer went up. week previous to her departure Anton on Saturday of last week the President Mrs. McKinley, so Washington report states, began on a dainty piece of knitting who saw her sitting in her favored chair picking the needles too palate to ask questions, but as work took form they saw the first of the land was fashioning a tiny baby socks. It was Thursday soon that Mrs. McKinley rang a bell that stood on her dressing room. Ms. Thurn," she said as the maid red, "will you please hand me baby booties which are lying on the things in my knitting basement." News comes from Bainbridge, Ga., of the strange death of Allen Murphy, a farm-hand, nine miles from that city. He was returning from his work and encountered a large rattlesnake in the road. The negro previously claimed matrimony in general and the advances of fickle youth in particular. The suggestion of "Bachelor Maids" as the name of the club was greeted with superlative expressions of approval.

The Secretary forgot to take notes and it took an hour to straighten things out. It was finally decided that none of the dear girls marry until the groom's character and temperament be passed upon by the club and approved. The consensus of opinion is that the club will last just as long as the girls are without proposals. An extraordinary case was heard before the lord mayor's court in London recently when a man named Hinde sued the Prince of Wales to recover $3,000,000 alleged to have been wrongfully paid him by the late Under Sheriff Croll, who was the liquidator of the United Kingdom Electric Telegraph company. The plaintiff declared the money belonged to a certain Mr. Allen, of whose estate he was assignee. Hinde further claimed the sum of $750,000 from Lord Suffolk, alleging the later had suborned Croll to commit perjury before Lord Bramwell, at the trial in 1877 in connection with the liquidation. Sir George Lewis, on behalf of the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Suffolk, asked that the proceedings be quashed on the ground that the allegations were nothing more than a frivolous and vexatious tissue of nonsense, and he submitted an affidavit to that effect. The plaintiff addressed the court, declaring that he had been told that the Prince of Wales received the money referred to, and then proceeded to charge Lord Bramwell with defrauding Allen's widow out of $750,000 in order to obtain promotion and a peerage. The plaintiff was here stopped by the court with a warning to speak respectfully of judges. Finally the court stopped the case and dismissed the action.

Alexander McDougall, general manager of the American Steel Barge company of Duluth, Wis., is in receipt of a letter from Capt. L. Laverge, master of the whaleback steamship City of Everett, which sailed last summer from San Francisco for Calcutta with a cargo of food for the famine sufferers of India. The letter is dated at Calcutta, Sept. 18th. In it Capt. Laverge charges the English officials at Calcutta with receiving the famine supplies without enthusiasm. The pilot came aboard and told the captain that he would have done better to have brought a cargo of rapid-firing guns with which to kill off the native Indian population instead of food. Capt. Laverge says that the City of Everett was treated shamefully at Calcutta by the government, and that the treatment seemed especially out of place owing to the presence of the vessel as representing the generosity and humanity of the American people. There was nothing on which a claim for dues could be expected that was not enforced, and the officials, finding, after ransacking the papers of the ship, that the officials at Singapore had exempted the ship from light dues, promptly enforced them. The claim was made that the governor at Singapore had no authority to exempt the ship from paving any dues. Before leaving Calcutta the English officials even insisted on the payment of dues for the ship's stores. "The worst cold I ever had in my life was cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," writes W. H. Norton, of Sutter Creek, Cal. "This cold left me with a cough and I was expectorating all the time. The Remedy cured me, and I want all of my friends when troubled with a cough or cold to use it, for it will do them good." Sold by P.A. Dorge.
