The Archblfthon of Canterbury Officiate and the Queen Seem Fleased nt the Match The (iornfoun 1 f t of the Frlnofcsa of Wales Representatives of the Koyal Families Who M ere Preaeut-Tbe Uride and Groom. LONDON. July 6. The marriage cf the duke of York (Prince George of Wales) and Princess Victoria May of Teck, an event to which all England had been looking forward with deep Interest, took place at 12:30 o'clock today in Chapel Royal. St. James palace. The wedding was a brilliant function, and was attended by a large gathering of the members of the British royal family, continental sovereigns or their representatives and many members of the highest nobility. The weather was beautiful, and if ther; Is any truth in the old proverb, "Happy Is the bride whom the sun shines on," the new duchess of York will be exceedingly happy, for a more splendid day has seldom been seen In London. The occasion was made one of national rejoicing, and a partial British holiday. Great crowds of people gathered many deep along the line of route from Buckingham palace up Constitution Hill, through Piccadilly, St. James-st. and Marlborough Gate, to the cardan entrance to St. Jarnos palace, which is situated on the north side of the Mall. The decorations along the line of the royal procession were profuse and beautiful. The roadway was kept open by the household troops in their glittering uniforms, by detachments drawn from the military depots, by the Metropolitan volunteers and militia, by Middlesex yeomanry and by the police. The scene was full of life and movement, and thf ceremony eclipsed in pomp and splendor nny recent state ceremonial in connection with the British court. The l'roealon. The royal party left Buckingham palace in four processions, the first conveying the members of the- household and distinguished guests. The next included the duke of York and his supporters, the prince of Wales and the duke of Edinburgh. The bride came in the third procession, accompanied by her father, the duke of Teck, and her brother. Prince Adolphus of Teck. The last procession was that of the queen, who, accompanied by the duchess of Teck, her younger sons and the grand duke of Hesse, drove in state to the ceremonials. Each procession was ac companied by a life guard escort, and In addition to this the queen had an escort of Indian native and Australasian horse Her majesty rode in the handSome glass coach used at the opening of parliament and other special occasions. The body of the carriage, which Is of Irish manufacture, having been built in Dublin, is painted a dark red color and its richly gilt pannels are adorned with the royal arms. The roof Is surmounted by a crown and bordered with a wreath of gilt roses, thistles and shamrock. The cheering as the royal carriage drove forward was immense. The members of the royal family and guests, on alighting at St. James palace, walked to the state apartments ami subsequently down the grand staircase and under the court colonade to the seats reserved for them In the chapel. Her majesty alighted in the ambassador's court under a specially erected canopy over the glass doors of the passage leading to the chapel. Thence she walked to the north end of the edifice. The spot was beautifully adorned with palms and flowers from the royai conservatory and carpeted with crimson. Upon the same platform seats were provided for the prince and princes of Wales, the bride and bridegroom and the other members of the royal family and royal guests from abroad. The members of the dip- ' lomatlc body. Including the members of the U. S. embassy and other invited guests, occupied especial seats lrr the body of the chapel and In the royal and east galleries. Drawing room dresses were worn by the ladies, the gentlemen appearing in full levee dress. The marriage ceremony opened with the procession of the clergy into the chapel. This consisted of the archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop of London, the dean of the chapel royal, the tub-dean, the vishop of Rochester, the Hon. and Rev. E. Carr-Glyn, vicar of Kensington. Canon Harvey, domestic chaplain to the prince of Wales, and Canon Dalton, honorable chaplain to the duke of York. Handel's march from the "Occasional Overture" was played by the organist as the procession came forward. While the archbishop and clergy were taking their places the music of the march in "Scipfo" came from the organ, and Immediately the front of the second procession, including the royal family and royal guests, came in sight, and the members of it were conducted to their seats as they entered. As the queen's procession, which included the duchess of Teck and the grand duke of Hesse, walked up the aisle. Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Imperial March" was played. A march composed by Smart was played during the progress of the bridegroom's procession to the communion, and as the bride ami her supporters passed up the aisle to the altar the organist played Wagner's inarch from "Lohengrin." The Wedding Gown and Attendants. The bride wore the veil which was worn by her mother on the occasion of her own marriage. Her wedding gown was of silver brocade, in perfect harmony with the bridesmaids' toilets of white satin and silver lace. The bridesmaids' gowns wore made with low bodices. Neither wreaths nor hats were worn, and only a simple rose in the hair. The bridesmaids were the Princesses Victoria and Maud of Wales, the Princesses Victoria Alexandria anl Beatrice of Edinburgh. Princesses Madgara and Vic

toria Patricia of Connaught. Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein and Princess Eugenia. The archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the other clergy, performed the ceremony, the bride being given avay by her father. The magnificent gilt sakramental plate, the central alms dish which is said to have been manufactured In the reign of Charles I, and is valued at J'AOOo, was displayed upon the altar, which was decked with the choicest flowers. The service began with the marriage chorale. "Father of Life." specially compost by Dr. Creeser for the occasion and sung by the "gentlemen and children of the royal chapel," as the members of the choir are styled. In the middle of the service Joseph Barnaby's "O, Ferfect Love," a chorale sung at the marriage of the duke and duchess of Fife In Buckingham palace chapel, was given. The ceremonies concluded with the hymn, "Now Thank We All Our God." Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" was played as the royal party left the chapel, the united processions of the bride and bridegroom leading to the throne room, where the registry of the marriage was attested by her majesty and the other members of the royal family and royal guests. After the Wedding. The de juner was served at Buckingham palace, the queen proposing the toast of the bride and bridegroom and the lord steward the toast of "The Queen." After receiving congratulations the duke and duchess of York left Buckingham place, driving through the Mall to the city, and thence proceeded by the Great Eastern railway from Liverpoolst. to Sandringham. The lord mayor and sheriffs met the newly wedded pair at St. Paul's cathedral, and their progress through the lavishly decorated and crowded street was a triumphal one. To enumerate the bridal gifts and the names of their donors would require several columns of newspaper space. Presents were received from all parts of the British dominions. The duke of York's present to his bride consisted of an openpetaled rose in pearls and diamonds and a five-row pearl necklace. The pearls are not exceptionally large, but they are perfectly pure in color and splendidly matched. The duke and duchess of Teck gae to their daughter jewels comprising a tiara, necklace and brooch of turquoises and diamonds. Much has been said regarding the opposition of the princess of Wales to the marriage, it being stated that she did not approve of her son marrying the girl who had been engaged to his brother, even though that brother was dead. The present given by the princess of Wales should put to rest these rumors, for It is doubtful if a more valuable gift was ever given by anyone on a similar occasion. The princess gift consisted mostly of jewelry and precious stones, the whole being valued at 2.10 pourds. tiii: iiiiinn axt croom.

Some of the Chief Characteristics of the l'rinee and I'rl nee. Prince George Frederick Ernst Albert, duke of York, earl of Inverness and Baron Killarney, Is the only surviving son of the prince of Wales. He was born at Marlborough House on June 3, lSf.3, and baptized at Windsor Castle on the 7th of July following. He was educated at Sandringham and Marlborough House. When fourteen years old Prince George was entered as a cadet on board H. M. S. Brittany. He subsequently made a voyage around the world in the warship Bacchante, visiting, among others places. Vigo, Ferrol, St. Vincent, Tenoriffe, the West Indies, the Bermudas, the Falkland islands, the Cape of Good Ifcope, Australia. Fiji islands, Japan, China, the Straits settlements, Ceylon, Egypt and the Mediterranean. He became a sub-lieutenant on the 3d of June, 18S4, and a lieutenant on the Sth of October, 1835. He was appointed to the command of a gunboat. In 1VJ1, soon after his appointment as commander in the navy, he was stricken with typhoid fever, and lay at Marlborough House at the point of death for several days. His recovery was the subject of general rejoicing. Last year he resumed his sea duties, and at the beginning of this year was appointed a post captain. At the present moment he is the junior captain in the navy. Shortly after the death of his elder brother, the duke of Clarence and Avondale, who died a few weeks before the time set for his marlage to the bride of today. Prince George received from the queen, his grandmother, the royal dukedom of York. He is naval aid-de-camp to the queen, captain of the First Prussian diagon guards, honorary colonel of the Third battalion West Yorkshire regiment. Third Middlesex rifle volunteers and the Suffolk yeomanry cavalry. In the queen conferred upon Prince George the Order of the Garter, and on the eve of his twenty-fourth birthday the young prince received the freedom of the city of London. Yesterday her majesty made him a Knight of the Order of Thistle. It is doubtful if any princess was ever held in higher esteem that Is Princess May. Her modesty and inherent kindliness have made her a general favorite, and her sympathy with the poor and her active endeavor to Improve their condition have made her an idol where royalty is not even received. The Princess May Is the eldest child and only daughter of the duke of Teck and Princess Mary of Cambridge, who are both connected with nearly every sovereign in Europe. She was born at Kensington palace on the 26th of May, 1867, and the greater part of her life has been spent at White Lodge, Richmond park, the residence of her parents. In personal appearance she is tall and slender, with fine features and extreme sweetness of expression, blonde In coloring, with blue eyes and light brown hair. She Is a fine musician, has considerable talent as an artist, a great reader and an expert horsewoman. The princess has been quietly and simply brought up. and represents much that Is good and highly attractive in English womanhood. Being so thoroughly English in all her methods of thought and action wins for her from the people of her native land the most popular approval of their prospective queen. She has endeared herself to the hearts of the people by her personal charms, her amiable disposition and her simple, unaffected manner, and Is eminent! fitted, by all the graces of mind and person and by the essential qualities of intellect and character, to be in due course of time the highest lady In the land. Some one who has visited White Lodge has given a pretty description of Princess May's special sanctum, "which was once the favorite morning room of the queen, where her majesty and Prince Albert used to sit and drink tea out of the same cups which the princess offers you now." The boudoir is a dainty combination of white enamel, white draperies and decorations of American autumn foliage, and Is filled with books, pretty ornaments and souvenirs from her friends.

DIVORCES ARE DISCUSSED;

SIIlS. FRANK LESLIE CAX SPEAK OX THE SUBJECT EX CATHEDRA. A Conundrum Without an A n a w e r Three Classes of Wives The Dos In the Manner Thoae Who Hare the Right of Release. It is always a pretty sure sign that a subject is alive, and although much discussed, never settled when it keeps coming up for fresh discussions and is always receiving fresh settlements. Men do not earnestly and angrily discuss the question of the sun rising in the east, although, to be sure, it is not very long since a prophet arose in Pennsylvania to declare that the earth Is stationary and the sun revolvant, but as a general thing that subject as well as the fact that two and two make four has been settled and laid away some time since along with the veraclousness of George Washington and the supremacy of the American eagle over all the fowl that fly. Among these ever to be debated and never settled subjects there Is not one, especially in our own country, so impossible to decide, so keenly debated, so vehemently decided first on the one side and then on the other, as divorce. A large body of persons, and many of them among the very best and wisest of our people, clergymen, statesmen and leaders of public thought, have banded themselves in an anti-divorce league, pledged to use their best endeavors to procure a uniform divorce law in all our states, and that law to be of the most stringent, only allowing divorce for the scriptural ofiense, and even In that case not without final proof and great and protracted effort. Our English cousins, always prone to the conservative course nnd as fond of red tape as they are of red beef, until the establishment of Sir Cresswell's divorce court, have tried this method of rigid legislation upon divorce, and not with the most fortunate results. Look, for instance, at the life of George Eliot. If the English law had set Mr. Lewes free from his profligate wife he and Mary Ann Evans would have been quietly married according to law. and the great novelist would not have left upon her name a stain which, however affection and respect may gild It. remains precisely the same stain attaching to the name of any other woman who fives with a man legally married to another woman. Or look at Charles Mordaunt, whom the English law refused to set free from a woman whose excesses had driven her to insanity. On that trial and. from other sources it has been too plainly proven that the rigid English law of divorce of fifty years ago did not succeed in guarding the sanctity of the marriage covenant or the honor and peace of the family any more effectually than the laxest of our western state regulations, and to say a divorce is more easily procured in London than in New York our state being especially rigid in this respect, and a New York divorce smirching only the character of the one against whom the judgment Is rendered and forbidding a subsequent marriage by the offending party. In some parts of the far West it Is said one may get a divorce for almost any conceivable cause. I do not vouch for the exactness of this statement, but can well believe it after some "incidents of travel" in the West. Among these was a brief companionship with a young girl of seventeen years hailing from Chicago. After half an hour's acquaintance this young lady, who was as pretty and as silly as any girl I hae ever met anywhere, confided to me that she and "Charlie" made two of a party to visit Milwaukee for the day. and as the theater "kept late" they missed the train they had planned to take home. In this dilemma some one suggested that the young men had better marry the girls, and then it would be quite correct to go to a hotel. Three couples accepted the proposition, and she and Charlie became man and wife after an acquaintance of about a fortnight. "And where is Charlie now?" ventured I. seeing that the poor child was evidently alone. "Oh, he's at home In Chicago," replied she, carelessly. "He's in a store and don't get enough to buy his salt, let alone my hats. I reckon I'll stop east awhile with some friends and then get a divorce. We were only fooling when we got married, you know, and we don't get along first rate anyhow." "And what do your parents say about it?" asked I. But the girl tossed her head In pretty scorn at the Idea of parental Interference. "I guess they haven't ot much to say about it. Pa's gone off to Mexico or somewhere, and ma's Just got married again and is glad to be shut of me. Recken I can paddle my own canoe without their help." Now, between the laxity which renders such a story as this possible and I assure you it Is absolutely a true story and the rigidity which drove George Lewes and Mary Ann Evans to open defiance of law there lies a vast distance, a happy medium, wherein, to my mind, the true solution of the problem lies, which again reminds me of a learned Joke, first narrated and then explained to me by a "gentleman from Boston" during my late western tour. It seems that Prof. Agasslz, with some other learned pundits of Boston, was unwrapping a recently imported mummy and disputing as to Its being that of a priest, a fact presently established by their coming upon the mummy of an ibis in the midst of the swarthings of the human mummy, whereupon Agasslz triumphantly exclaimed: "Veritas, In medias res tutlsslma ibis!" By way of coming down softly from these Athenian hights I will add to this anecdote one from my own experience more familiarly Illustrating the same theory. I was having my photograph taken by a very charming foreigner, recently acquainted with the English tongue, and he, after various efforts to get the proper expression upon my face, exclaimed: "Not too severe and not too smiling, but let us find a happy middling if we would be perfect." One would not of course be flippant upon a subject like this, involving as it does the deepest and most vital Interests of so many human beings, and although it has undeniably its humorous side the general aspect is one of profound sadness and perplexity. Two persons marry. Perhaps they are in the first flush of youth, with all sorts of rose colored Ideals confidently set before their eyes, or perhaps they are older, and having already known sorrow and disappointment and disillusionment fancy they have at last found a companion whose sympathy and comradeship are to make up for a great deal of what is forever lost. In either case the contract, at least on the woman'" part, is made with full intention of fulfilling Its obligations, She repeats her vow of

constancy "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer. In sickness and health, till death do us part," with a sense of Joyful security and certainty. The drifting is over, the loneliness and forlornness past. Never, never again will s.he stand in the twilight murmuring that threadbare yet ever new lament: My bark's upon a darkling sea. And no one stands beside me. And no one minds the helm for me. And no one cares to guide me. And the man, if he be a true and honorable man, as he turns from the altar tells himself that in this hour a new life must begin for him the old follies and vices must be forsworn, the old companions forgotten, the crooked ways be made straight and clean. He has promised to "love, cherish and protect" this woman, "and forsaking all others keep himself only unto her so long as both shall live" solemn words and a large promise, but he means It all at least we will hope most bridegrooms do. They go home, and life begins, and for some, perhaps one-half of those wedded couples, the early promise and the solemn vows become realities at least, we will say, approxlmaCe realities and time, the effacer and reconciler, smooths over the shortcomings and buries the memory of those lofty Ideals and brings a certain cynical philosophy into the life and so makes of it not what was expected, not what was plar.ned, but

something tolerable and moderately satisfactory at least as good as the lives of other people around about, and yes, well enough, let us say. Outof this great mass of mankind there are a few, a very few, married couples who do really fulfill their Ideals and find life Just what they had hoped, just what they had planned. They are fully satisfied and go about the world gloating over their own happiness and flaunting it in the faces of other people In a fashion that would be exasperating if it were not so pathetic. Now, this class of persons look upon divorce as near akin to murder or sacrilege ,,r mad:. ess. Tiiy cannot in the least understand how anybody once admitted to the paradise of matrimony could ever wish to leave it or to drive their other self out of its dear inclosure. Tney speak with bated breath or with uplifted eyebrows and whispers of holy horror and dismay as they wonder what strange sort of beings those may be, and finally giing up the gloomy conundrum turn with a sigh of relief to throw themselves into each other's arms and "thank with brief thanksgiving whatever power may be" that they are not like other men. Returning to that great class of mirrled people who just get on after a fashion, with a good deal of bickering and a good many spoken or unspoken doubts as to whether marriage is worth while or not, we find them also opposed to divorce, but from a different standpoint than the little clique of paradisi;ir.s just described. They thoroughly recognize' why some people wl.-h to be divorced. They are more or less frankly conscious of occasionally wishing to b- so themselves, but they have never s;iid so aloud, and the bitterness of their opposition to this mode of relief is th.it they do not care to see others i id themselves of a bur J -n which they have made up their ruind to bear. It is just the dotf in the manger over again. "I can't eat this clover, and so yr u shan't." says the dog to the ox, and sometimes the ox is scared away and gives up his proposed banquet. "If I can get along with Tom. I imagine you can with Dick, and so can you with Harry," says one of their philosophers to her sisters who urewhisIering about divorce, and then, wann ing with her t ,1c, sh'. reads them a lecture upon t.n t-ii if uincss and the shame-fulness and the general depravity of the woman who will see her name "dragged through a divorce court" and the duty of every wife to submit with patience and sweetness to her marriage lot, whatever it may turn out to b?, and if she can't reform her husband to win him over by the exhibition of her own virtues until he falls in love with goodness and forsakes vice, and "all goes happy ever after." Yes. these discontented' and yet obstinately "staying" wives are the bitterest and most virulent opposers of divorce, and do very possibly effect some good by dragooning their feebler sisters into a submission that not infrequently ends in a half bitter, half indifferent acqulesence in a fate very different from what was hoped, and yet not too bad to be endured with some sort of philosophical content. To wives of this class in fact of all three of the classes just described I say: Stay you where you are. Be satisfied with the frying pin and don't jump Into the fire. Bear the ills you have and do all that you can to alleviate them. Above all, if you have children, sacrifice your own worn and weary life to their fresh young promise. A woman who has borne a child has in a manner pledged herself to bear for that child what she would not bear for herself, and great strength come3 from a burden weli borne. That Is the way the Italian women acquire their queenly poise. But there Is still another class, and a large one, to whom I would not proffer this advice; to whom I would rather say: Save yourselves while you can women without children and without obligations except the marriage vows which have been flung back upon them, shattered and soiled by him who had sworn to hold tr.em sacred and inviolate "so long as ye both shall live." When this day comes to any wife, the day when she finds her home ruined, her womanhood insulted, her self respect outraged; when she finds that her petitions, her tears, her arguments and her warnings alike are scoffed and disregarded; when she sees that she can do nothing to elevate the man who persistently degrades himself and drags her down with him; when she fears that blows may be added to cursing and coarseness, then my advice to that woman is. appeal to the law for a release from a union which has become a slavery; annul the contract broken and despised by the other contracting party; be free. Every legal covenant Is made dependent upon the mutual honesty and good faith of the covenanters, and If one fails to fulfill his stipulated obligation the other Is released, often wlfh a compensation for his disappointment. Is not m-irriage a contract worthy of as much protection as the copartnership agreement of a firm of grocers or brokers? Let us do nothing either rashly or with too much prejudice or conservatism. Let us. if we would achieve success, seek "the happy middling" between these two extremes. While harmless as doves, do not let us forget to be also wise as serpents. MRS. FRANK LESLIE.

MEN PASSING AS WOMEN.

AD WOMEX WHO FOR YEARS PASSED AS ME.Y. Parallels to the Strange Case of Alice Mitchell The Caae of Omar Kingsley the Moat Remarkable on Record An Austrian Conntess Who Dresaed as a Boy and Aaaoclnted Only With Roy Companion, Kept Her Sex a, Secret Till She Finally Married a Beautiful Young; Lady. The recent case of Alice Mitchell and Freda Ward has been regarded as a perversion of sex that is wholly without a parallel, yet such perversions often the result of dress and education in childhood rather than any innate tendencyare In reality quite common, and many noteworthy instances of them, both among men and women, may be readily recalled, says Pearson's Weekly. One of the most remarkable is that of an Austrian countess named Sarota Vay, who for some time past has been the reigning sensation of Vienna. For years past she was palmed off as a boy upon her father, because her mother feared to disappoint him by the confession that their only child was a girl, and that therefore the title and estates must pass to a distant branch of the family. Throughout her childhood she was dressed In every detail precisely like a boy, and thus attired associated only with boy companions, participating with them in all the most active and most daring sports and pastimes of boyhood. Sarota seems to have been completely unsexed by her dress and mode of life. When more than twenty years of age she electrified Vienna by wearing male apparel, drinking deeply, betting heavily, talking like the army in Flanders, and fighting duels with the utmost recklessness. During my sojourn in the Austrian capital in th latter part of ISM she actually married a very wealthy and beautiful young orphan girl named Merle Englehardt, who, though aware of her sex, seems to have f -It for hpr the same Infatuation that the late Freda Ward felt for Alice Mitchell. Tlv y lived together until Sarota had squandered the greater portion of her "wife's" property, v. hen her relatives interfered and caused an investigation to be made cf Sarota's mental condition by medical experts, the result being that she was morally irresponsible, and was placed in an insane asylum. Of all recorded instances where a man has transformed himself into a woman, the most remarkable is that of Omar Kin.qslcy, a famous circus rider, who died in India a few years ago. This man's whole life was a romance far surpassing in improbability and thrilling interest any novel ever penned by any master of fiction. He was born In New Orleans of Creole parents and at the age of aTouF"elght years was apprenticed to S. Q. Stokes, a well known c!rcus manager of that day, there being then no law against the employment of young children in hazardous performances. What this boy's real name was no one but Stokes ever knew, and he never divulged the secret. It was the boy's singular girl-like beauty that suggested to Stokes the idea of transforming him into a girl. He accordingly dressed him from head to foot in feminine attire, and from that time until he had passed his twenty-first birthday he never again wore a single article of man's attire. Stokes bestowed upon him the fanciful appellation of "Ella Zoyara." and under that namo he soon became one of the most famous and daring circus riders that the sawdust area has ever known. Another of Stokes' apprentices was a beautiful little girl of about the same age as "Ella Zoyara." and these two children resembled each other so closely that any one would take them for twin sisters, especially as Stokes always had dressed them exactly alike. For years they were the most constant and inseparable companions, and when this little girl reached womanhood Stokes made her his second wife. "Ella Zoyara" was about seventeen year3 of age when I first saw her, or rather him. He was then a picture of ravishing loveliness. His features wiere sing-dariy delicate and of the most perfect regularity, while his complexion was of the most brunette type. His checks, upon which not even the faintest trace of a beard ever made itself manifest, glowed with a rich, dark red flush that. In contrast with the olive hue of his skin, made a glorious bit of color, and his hair, black and glossy as the raven's wing, hung In luxuriant curls to his waist. I never suspected for a moment nor did any member of Stokes' company then playing abroad that "Ella Zoyara" was anything but a genuine girl, nor did any of us, during the three months that I traveled with the company In England and on the continent. Wherever he appeared, "Ella Zoyara" created an immense sensation among the susceptible nr?n who flocked to his performance, and from such admirers he was constantly in receipt of presents that royalty Itself would not have disdained to accept. Among these offerings was a diamond ring of great value, which had been given him by a duke. Among those who worshiped at the shrine of this temple of supposed female loveliness was a German nobleman of the highest rank and immense wealth. It was while playing in Berlin that, through the the persecutions of this nobleman, "Ella's" real sex was discovered, and to escape the vengeance of his powerful admirer, "Ella" was obliged to take French leave of Berlin. His long kept secret being thus discovered, "Ella" never again attempted to deceive any one as to his sex, though he continued to appear professionally as a woman under his old name of "Ella Zoyara" for a long time afterward. He subsequently abandoned skirts and rode as a man under the name of Omar Klngsley, yet long masquerade seems to have changed his whole nature from a masculine to a feminine one. He was as emotional and capricious as any woman and had the temper of a virago. Stokes used to buy him long kid gloves, which covered his arms as shapely and white as those of any woman to the elbow, and "Ella" was absurdly particular that trey should fit him to a nicety. If, after trying on a pair, he found the slightest wrinkle In them he would stamp his foot and tear them off with one violent gesture and fling them from him In a frenzy of ra ge. Even after coming out as a male rider under the name of Oscar Klngsley, he would attire himself in a lady's dressing gown when at home and devote his leisure to embroidery or some other variety of feminine fancy work, in every branch of which he was an adept. Soon after his discovery of his secret he married Sallle Stlckney, daughter of Sam Stlckney, a circus manager. This good lady, who was one of the cleverest female riders of the day. bore him sev

eral children, but their union proved unhappy and they were afterward separated. The true and complete story of "Ella Zoyara's" adventures during his long masquerade would fill a large volume and surpass In romantic and suggestive interest anything that Dumas ever conceived. While strolling through old Chelsea churchyard a few days ago I came upon a curious old monument upon which was carved in quaint language the strange story of "Anne Chamberlayne Spragg." It states that "she was borne Chamberlayne, and did always present a most masculine carriage, and seemed in all things to incline to be a male." This curious inscription then goes on to say that "at an early age she did assume male attire, and being of a very intrepit spirit did ship as a marine on board his majesty's man-of-war Griffin.

which was commanded by her brother Clifford, who was privy to her designs. bhe did fight bravely against ye French in an action off Peachy Head in 16Ü0. Her sex was discovered by John Sprang, ye surgeon of ye ship, who did afterward marry her. She died Nov. C, 1691, ye twenty-fifth year of her ape." While hunting over the pages of some musty old registers of a parish church in Southwark I came upon the record of the marriage of Samuel Bundy to Mary Parlour, and the old verger sexton of the church, who was in close attendance upon me, calling my attention specially to it, proceeded to tell me a strange story, which revealed a case of one woman's infatuation for another very similar to that of Alice Mitchell for Freda Ward. He said that, when he was a very young man, a dashing fellow, calling him self Samuel Bundy. appeared in the neighborhood and laid desperate siege to the affections of Mary Parlour, a very pretty girl, with whom he seemed passionately in love. Mary smiled upon his suit, and In due time they were wedded, as recorded in the parish register. In a few days Mary visited the rector who had performed the ceremony and indignantly proclaimed that her "husband" was a woman. The rector advised a separation, and Mary accordingly refused to have anything more to do with her liege lord, or. rather, lady, and "Samuel Bundy." whose real feminine appellation was known, took herself off and shipped on board a man-of-war. She subsequently returned to Mary, her "wife," who forgave her, and the pair lived happily together as man and wife till deaih separated them. The story was afterward confirmed f me as literally true in every particular by the rector of the parish, whose father, the then rector, had married the couple in question.

A few days ago several of the papers of the city had statements to the effect that Governor Matthews had decided to call an extra session of the legislature during the coming winter. The popers further stated that the call would be made ostensibly for the purpose of correcting the fee and salary law, but would in reality be to help him (the governor) out of the Roby muddle. Governor Matthews stated yesterday that there was absolutely no truth in the report and that it had not the slightest foundation. He said that he had never thought of the subject, much less talked of it as reported. "There is at present," he said, "no reason for calling h special session and unless some extraordinary exigency should arise there will be none." WATCHED 11V HIS DOG. A Three-Yenr-Old Wanderer and Ills Dumb Animal. A three-year-old boy, closely watched by a shaggy, brown water dog, was picked up yesterday on Front-st. by Officer O'Brien, and knowing that the two had wandered from home he brought them to the police station. A pretty picture they made, which was hlghtened by the very apparent watchful care which the dog took of his little charge. Every one at the station was Interested to find where the little fellow belonged. "Whose boy are you?" said Chief Jackson. "I'se mamma's boy, but puppy's my dog." replied the black-eyed little fellow, and he seemed to tell the reverse of the truth, for it was evident that at least the dog thought the boy belonged to him. The quadruped was watchfully tender of the little fellow. A hand laid on the boy's shoulder was not greeted by a growl from the guardian, but it was immediately lifted by the dog's nose, where it was allowed to remain but not to rest on the child. The dog was playful and could be coaxed to follow the one who petted him for a few feet, but only a few. At ten paces away the dog would turn and In two bounds was beside his charge again. He constantly insisted on crowding between the urchin and any person who was coming at all close to the little fellow. A close inspection of the dog's collar told what the boy could not or did not think to. On the plate were the words. "I belong to Stacey Turner, of 1018 Madlson-st." A telephone message soon brought the father, and it would be hard to say which was the happiest the father on regaining his child or the dog on finding some one to relieve him of his charge. As for the boy, ha seemed contented in the care of either of them. Seattle Press-Times. Derangement of the liver, with constipation. Injures the complexion, induces pimples, sallow skin.

Whitson Wilson died at his hom near Claremont, Ind., on the morning of July 4. Mr. Wilson was born In Barren county, Kentucky, July lö, 1S12. His parents came from Virginia, where the family has been represented since before the Revolution. On cf them. Thomas Nelson, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Whitson Nelson's early boyhood was spent amidst the thrilling incidents of the Indian warfare, which. was carried o:i in Kentucky at that time. His oldest brother, when a lad. was killed and scalped by a band of Indians in sight of their log cabin. His education was necessarily meager, owing to the fact that school facilities were almost entirely absent. His entire school life was comprised within the space of six months. He acquired the art of writing himself after he had reached manhood. Nevertheless he was a man of wide information, particularly In politics and religion. Born at the beginning of Jefferson's presidential career, he seemed to have imbibed the principles of democracy from his environments. To th-sei principles he adlucred strictly throughout his whole life. He took an active part In the presidential campaign of 124. leing a great admirer and a warm friend of Andrew Jackson. In he removed from southern Kentucky to Putnam county, Indiana. The j.urney was made in an ox cart, through an almost unbroken forest. He traveled on foot by the side of the cart which contained his family and household effects. A careful Inventory of his property at the end of his journty showed that he possessed an ox cart, a team and 40 cents in money. Ills nn t laiwr was to erect a cabin, after which he engaged to clear the timber from ten acres of land, receiving $4 per acre for his work.

A man of great physical and metal vigor and endowed with indomitable courage and pe-rseverence. self-reliant and independent, he posse-ssed the rugged manhood which was necessary to overcome the many obstacles In the early settlement of this country. He was a consistent member of the Christian church for more than half a century. He was the father of eleven children, six of whom survive. Among these are J. M.

Investigation shows that the developments in the dispensary legal fight are not as favorable to the liquor men as was thought last night. Floyd was appointed dispenser for Darlington county. Judge Hudson granted an injunction restraining him from opening the dispensary on the ground that his petition did not contain the requisite number of names and that the dispensary law was unconstitutional. The latter ground of the decision does not amount to anything, for the state supreme court has already decided that the law is constitutional, which overrides Judge Hudson's decision as to the constitutionality. The law provides that appeals from decisions of the county board of control shall be had t. the state lK-ard of control; state authorities will appeal to the supreme court to ret aside the decision of Judpe Hudson with regard to the validity of Floyd's appointment and compel the plaintiJfs to carry their suit as required by law to the state board of control. Suit has been brought in Richland county on the same lines as the suit brought In Darlington county. The hearing of this case has been set for nsxt Tuesday. PRESERVED FOR TWELVE YEARS. Huiuun Bodies That Were ot De troyrd by Lona- Expoanre. Mr. Blanc, the well-known French explorer, writes from Algiers that the explorer, Foureau, has just returned from the Sahara, bringing with him the bodies of three missionaries of the congregation of the White Fathers who in were massacred by Tuaregs. They wera Fathers Pouplard, Richard and Morat, and Foureau found their bodies where they were killed, about seven miles west of Rhadames. Though these men were killed twelve years ago, their bodies were in an excellent state of preservation. They had lost four-fifths of their weight and had been completely mummified by the dry atmosphere cf that region. The discovery of these bodies and the articles belonging to the missionaiiee found on the sand near them throws curious light upon the meteorology of that region. Their clothing, papers and other articles were in a remarkable state of preservation. A letter addressed to Father Pouplard. which had been lying in the open air. for twelve years had in no way deteriorated. The writing on the envelope was neither effaced nor altered in the slightest degree. Religious books and pamphlets were strewn about the sand, and though they were somewhat wrinkled by the sun's heat, they were not otherwise injured, except a page or two that directly touched the soil. Scientific men say that in our climate paper abandoned to the air will completely disappear in about two years, being dissolved Into the elements of which it is composed by the chemical and other destructive agencies of the air and moisture. These discoveries prove that atmospheric humidity in the neighborhood of Rhadames is remarkably feeble. Mr. Blanc says that In his opinion the atmospheric humidity of the Sahara Is even less than is supposed, and in the region where the bodies and papers were found there is practically no precipitation.
