BI.lt Loved, Wed and Parted.
Albert Tolbert Is one of the bestknowi^
young men about town. He was em
ployed In the Southern Railway office
and also in the Fidelity bank. To his
friends be was known as a confirmed
bachelor. Great was their surprise when
he returned to the city two week* ago
with a pretty lady whom he introduced
as hit wife. She was a resident of the
neighborhood of Georgetown. Her father
U a rich Bine Grass stockman.
The happy conple after their marriage
visited Florida and contemplated atrip
to California, when all of a sndden they
agreed to disagree.
Hr. Tolbert magnanimously says that
be cannot make her happy. Mrs. Tol
bert, so far as appearances are concern
ed, seems to be willing to proceed in the
old lines, bnt Albert called a halt. They
consulted counsel.
Tolbert gave his bride $1,000 in jewelry
and $2,900 ip United States bonds, and,
as a measure of good lock, be left at
tacbed thereto the oonpons which are
dne next Janaary. Then they kissed,
embraced, took one more look into each
other's eyes and parted. She returned
to Georgetown. He is in this city.

8clio.il Savinas Hanks In' England.
There has been a large increase of the
number of scholars in the schools of
England since Sept. 1, when the free ed
ucation act went into force. The man
agers of schools advised the parents of
the scholars to pnt into savings banka
for the lienefit of their children the three
pence per week that bad previously been
paid for the education of each child, and
school savings banks were established to
recelve.theso deposits. This advice was
followed by largo numbers of parents in
various parts of England, and the banks
have already been of service. In the city
of Manchester, for example, more than
9,000 new accounts have been opened in
them .the first month. The small funds
thus deposited will be useful to the chil
dren hereafter.—London Letter.
Cheap Chest Protectors.
At this .season of the year so many
people ore caught n ns wares at a distance
the great value of newspapers as chest
protectors. Let the papers be firmly
dried and then folded intoseveral thick
nesses and placed acne* the chest If
they are also wrapped in stripe around
the arms ft will be found that they exert
• beneficial influence.
Professional economists who utilize
everything, even to old tin cans and shoe
tops, art quite unstinted in their praises
of old newspapers, and nae them for
linings for quilts, stuffing for beds, pil
lows, dress linings and sole protectors.—

The Thunderbolt ami ihs llarbed Wire.
A wicked Connecticut thunderbolt got
hold of a Tartar at the Cheney farm at
North Haven a few days ago when ll
tackled a barbed wire fence that encir
cles a big lot belonging to Mr. Cheney.
The bolt hit the fence near the hotue,
split itself in two. nnd the divided bolt
went entirely around the field in oppo
site directions at the sunie time. Tile
wires jingled like a cotton spindle, bnt
held their own pretty well, though the
bolt yanked ontof tbe ground eleven
posts that carried the wires.—New York

New York's Army of Dependents.
Did you ever stop to think how large
is New York’s standing army of depend
ents, and what persons, nnder the com
missioners of charities and correction,
constitute it? According to the last re
port by the commissioners tbe total
number of disabled, infirm, demented,
minor or delinquent persons under pub
lic charge in- the workhouse, city hos
pitals, almshouses, jails, insane asylums
and on Blackwell's island amounted,
when the lost census of them was taken,
to 13.848. Of tbe nnmber included in
the last report 5,804 were at the time in
pnblic asylums nnder city care. 8,184 in
city hospitals, 1.886 in the workhouse,
1,51? In tbe almshouse and 1.873 in jails
and prisons.
This takes Into account merely those
nnder the care of the city authorities]
and maintained wholly at public ex-
se. Thia item of mnnicfiuil disburse
ment amounts to nbont $2,000,000a year,
or $8,000 a day. Six hundred thousand
dollars a year are paid for salaries and
wages. $1,800,000 for supplies, and tha|
rest for transportation, bniidings. rentals

Killed a fleer with a Pocketknlfe.
One morning about three weeks ago
George Pbanp, of Chesterfield, Va.
beard two bonnds rnnniug a deer, bnt
as this was no nnoanal occurrence in his
neighborhood he paid no attention-to it.
Later in tbe day, while about to cross
the Appomattox river bridge below his
house, he was surprised to recognize the
voices of the same two bonnds be had
heard in the morning, and this time they
were haying something in a slash on the
low grounds, which, on Investigation,
proved to be an enormous back that had
got hnng in such a manner that despite
his frantic efforts he could not release
himself.
Mr. Plump had no weapon other than
a pocketknlfe, bnt he attacked tbe ani-
mid with that, and succeeded after
desperate straggle with the thoroughly
enraged buck in cutting his throat. The
final and most difficult task was getting
his prize on the bone, bnt he soon ao-
complished this, and your hnmble serv
ant had a piece of the venison for break
fast the next morning.—Cor. American

Saturn's Ring* Disappear.
According to Professor George C. Corn-
stock, of tbs Washburn observatory,
Madison. Wis., the phenomenon of the
disappearance of the rings of Saturn has
just occurred. Once in fifteen yean the
earth in its motion abont the snn passes
through the plane of the rings of Satnrn,
so that they are turned edgewise toward and windows and flattered’around the
the earth. The rings are so thin that lights. In the Cafe Kslserhof and the

A Big Hal Dion Crap.
This is a great year for big crops
Now it is the salmon, crop that exceeds
anything In tbe history of the country.
Puget Bound Js reported to be so filled j
with salmon, making their annual run
to the sound shores and the fresh water |
streams for feeding and spawning, that
the steamboats seem to be floating on a I
solid man of fish. The paddles kill
hundreds of them and are choked wit h
their bodies The sound steamer cap
tains describe .the run ns an unbroken
etringof salmon 'thirty miles long, tbe I
water for that distance being fairly alive
with them.
Neither the oldest inhabitants nor tbe j
aged Indians remember such a big salmon
run. The result of tbe enormous ran is I
a big redaction in prices Usually good
salmon sell for ten to twenty-five cents
apiece, bnt now at one cent each tbe |
market is glutted witb the finest quality
of fish. At Port Williams n few days
ago two casts of a seine netted over
8.000 fine salmou. Everybody la fishing.
