There are few girls who would care
to spend their honeymoon tossing on
the waves of the mighty Atlantic in a
diminutive open boat less than 15 feet
{n length. Yet that is how Albena Car
penter of Atlantic City and her hus
band to be will spend their first month
of wedded life.
Captain Andrews, the prospective
husband, has already gained fame as
a navieator in small boats. Alone he
has crossed the ocean several times in
precisely the manner indicated for this
odd honeymoon trip. This time there

ON BOARD THE DARK SECRET.
will be two in the boat. Though in
law man and wife are one, in a boat
they count as two.
The boat is ready. Captain Andrews
has crossed in it before. The name by
which it is known is the Dark Secret.
Whether the name will be retained for
the present trip has not been decided.
Miss Carpenter of course will be the
heroine of the trip. She will be Mrs.
Andrews when the trip is made. but
her heroism will be none the less ap
parent. It takes nerve to remain thir
ty odd days. more or less, with the
probability of its being more, in a little
boat on the great heaving, billowy
ocean even if you have your newly
made husband with you. When you
bear in mind that the cockpit of the
boat in which all that time must be
spent is about six feet long and two
feet deep, you will discover how little
room there is for seasickness.
Miss Carpeuter was born in Nashua,
N. H., only about 20 years ago. She is
pretty and plucky, and her forthcoming
marriage to Captain Andrews is to be
one of love. The captain is old enough
to be her father, but love does not no
tice little things like years, and Miss
Carpenter says positively that she will
make the trip. Those who know her
determined spirit are convinced that
she will enjoy it
There is just now rather a fever in
the open boat sea crossing line, for
one Captain Blackburn of Gloucester,
Mass., has issued a challenge to all
and sundry to sail against him. His
boat is 25 feet long. while the Dark
Secret is but half that length. In faet,
¢aptain Andrews and his bride to be
look upon anything 25 feet long as too
great, clumsy and unwieldy to cross
the ccean in comfort and as being the
probable receptacle of various life
raving devices and other unsportsman
like litter.
Of life saving or other mere luxuries
Captain Audrews and his companion
will have none. In fact, there is no
room aboard the little craft for any
thing like them. All they can carry
are themselves and what food they will
probably require in their long drift
Blood.
We live by our blood,and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
éur blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no sprin%', when rest
ils not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
1s poor; there is little nutri
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take Scott’'s Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the
whole body going again—man
woman and child.

lis agreeable taste will surprise you.

over the thousands of miles of wa
‘ tery expanse that lie between At
lantic City and Lisbon, in old Portu
| gal. There will be much drifting on
]the way across, for the currents of
| old Atlantic are notoriously determin
| od and must needs be reckoned with.
] In fact, the currents will be their
| main dependence. For instance, they
| will drift down the eastern cecast of
the United States and then by way
| of the gulf stream across to the Azores
E or Western islands, from whence they
will make their way to PPortugal. the
| nearest portion of the mainland of Eu
| rope. Their route, therefore, will be
almost tropical, the loeality of flying
l fishes and the nautilus, the locality of
i the Southern Cress and the hurricane.
. There will be hard times on hoard
\ the Dark Secret it a hurricane strikes
it. Ifor even on a honeymoon there
must be a little chance for relaxation.
In a 12 foot hoat, containing two peo
ple. their supplies of provisions and
water, there is not very much room
for hurricanes. So, as they will not
be welcome, it may be presumed they
will not come. .
But even if no hurricanes should
come there is much that remains to be
wondered at in such a voyage. There
is only a small lateen sail to give the
boat impetus, and of course it will be
available only when the wind is al
most fair, for at other times it will
have no purchase to gain against the
wind. Even the most fortunate voy
agers of old could scarcely lay claim
’to fair winds all the time, so what
- will be done?
~ Well, if the wind should grow to be
too contrary, the sail may be furled
and the little craft allowed to drift.
It can't lose very much, for the cur
rent off the south coast sets easterly
for the Azores and then eéweeps in
broad, fanlike shape around them.
It will thus be clear that aside from
its romantic nature as a honeymoon
trip the voyage contemplated by Miss
Carpenter and Captain Andrews takes
on a fresh tinge of excitement by rea
son of its uncertainty. There is to be
no foreing their way through the foam
ing combs of a dead sea, no sailing on
the wind, but a sublime dependence
upon the currents and the eternal
steadfastness of Providence, combined
with an expectancy on the subject of
their ability to indefinitely undergo
each other's sole society. People who
have long been married may be skep
tical on this latter head, but those who
are about to be married will not.
Captain Andrews, who will be the
navigator of the Dark Secret, has the
advantage of having crossed the Atlan
tic before in craft as frail as the one in
which he Is now about to embark as
well as in that very craft itself—with
this qualification, that in times past he
has always sailed alone. Whether the
presence of a companion will prove an
other advantage from the nautical
standpoint or a handicap remains to be
seen. Of supplies there will of course
need to be more. It would be ungallant
to say twice as many or twice as great
a quantity, for that would signify that
the lady would eat as much as a man,
a proposition that theoretically at least
is not tenable.
Captain Andrews made his quickest
trip across the Atlantic in 1898 in his
boat the Phantom Ship. This boat, too,
was only 12 feet in length, and he de
clares her record of 34 days will be
beaten on the present voyage. On that
occasion a woman had volunteered to
accompany him, but at the time for de
parture she yielded to the entreaties of
her relatives and friends and declined.
Miss Carpenter is not expected to
weaken at any time, as her intended
marriage would seem to guarantee.
The challenge of Captain Blackburn
of Gloucester, noted above, carries
with it the possession of a silver cup
and a purse, which Captain Andrews
and his expected bride will claim when
they get to the other side if they win.

DOUGHERTY’S DELIGHT.
How Good Roads Are Helping to
. v
i Build Up Albany.
; From the Albany Herald.
i “The south needs nothing, not even
cotton mills, more than it does good
roads.”’ sa.s the Albany, Ga , Herald.
“With the latter secured other bless
ings will follow fast.”’ All of which is
true. With good roads in Georgia one
half of the teams employed could do
twice the work that is accomplished.
The saving on the ransportation of
the cotion erop alone would amount to
thousands and thouiands of dollars ev
ery year. The counties and towns that
are first to build good road systems
will be the first to get rich.—Savan
'nah News.
~ There are no better roads in Georgia
than Dougherty county’s. They are
famous throughout south west Georgia,
and are the delightof our good friends,
the farmers. The average farmer will
!hring his cotton twenty miles to Al
‘bany rather than carry it twelve miles
‘to some other market, the former jour
ney being the lessserious undertaking.
- Our roads have not been built in a
vear or two, nor has the cost to the
county been inconsiderable, butthein
vestment is the best our taxpayers
have ever made. The good roads slo
gan is one that should be taken up in
every county in the southern states.

A WOMAN WEDS A MALTESE CAT.
Miss Edith Wagner Believes the Soul of
Her Departed Lover Is Making Its
Home Within the Feline’s Hide.
Edith Waguner of Waukesha, Wis.,
has been married by a rurual justice
of the peace near Binghampton, N. Y.,
to her Maltese cat. Her family has
just been advised of the extraordinary
wedding |
Miss Wagner is a believer in the
transmigration of souls. Some years!
ago she was engaged to be married to
a young man named Edward Hamlin,
but before the wedding day arrived he
died of typhoid fever. On his deathbed
Hamlin told his sweetheart that he
knew he was going to die, but that he
would always be near her. |
Not long after his death a fine Mal
tese cat appeared -at Miss Wagner's
home and remained there. Miss Wag
ner was convinced that the soul of her
dead lover dwelt in this feline. Some
time ago she went to New York, and
while at Binghampton decided to mar
ry the pet.
She took out a license in due form,
giving a name that served for the cat,
but when she tried to arrange for the
performance of the ceremony difficulty
was encountered. Several ministers
postively retused to officiate and she
tinally went into the country, where
she succeeded in finding a justice of
the peace who performed some sort of
a marriagerite. Miss Wagner's friends
are trying to persuade her to return
home.

REQUISITON WAS REFUSED.
Candler Will Not Deliver Cuthbert
Man to AlabamaOfficier.
Governor Candler has declined to
grant a requisition from the governor
of Alabama for H. B. Mattox, who a
few days ago was arrested in Cuthbert,
Ga., upon a warrant charging him
with the crime of forgery.
The papers having reference to the
case developed the fact thatscme time
ago H. B. Mattox was; employed by E.
L. Edmondson & Co., a cotton firm do
ing business in Dophan, Ala., to
travel around as the agent for the firm
and buy cotton for the house. He was
given power of attorney to make drafts
upon the house for purchases made by |
him of cotton and for anyother purpose
that he saw fit in his capacity as agenbl
for Edmondson & Co.
While Mattox was employed in this
capacity the firm of Edmonson & Co.
failed and a draft made upon the
house, and which Mattox had dis
counted, was returned to the holder
with the significant endorsement on
the back in two letters “N. G.’ The
holder of the draft then had Mattox
arrested at Cuthbert, and through the
governor of the state of Alabama made
an effort to have him returned to that
swate to be prosecuted upon a charge
of forgery. The governor after review
ing the case could not see where Mat
tox had committed any crime, but be
came impressed with the belief thatit
was only an effort to get Mattox back
to Alabama to collect a debt, and
he therefore refused the requisition.
EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON DEAD.
The Distinguished American Succumbs to
Grip and Pneumonia.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., March 13.
General Benjamin Harrison died at
4: 45 o'clock this afternoon without re
gaining consciousness. His death was
quiet and painless, there being a grad
ual sinking until the end came, which
was marked by a single gasp for breath
as life departed from the body of tae
great statesman. The relatives, with
a few exceptions, and sevcral of his
old and tried friends were at the for
mer president's bedside when he pass
ed away.
None of General Harrison’s children
were present at his death. Neither
Colonel Russell Harrison nor Mrs. Mc-
Kee had reached the city, although
both were hurrying on their way to
the bedside of their dying parent as
fast as steam could carry them.
General Harrison’s wealth is various
ly estimated, public opinion rating it
us high as half amillion dollars. Those
who are best informed about the ex
president’s affairs, however, say he was
worth about two hundred and fifty or
three hundred thousand dollars. At
the time he was elected presiden the
was reputed to have accumulated a
fortune of $125,000 from his law prac
tic and this has been doubled at least
since. Of late his practice, owing to
his great reputation as a constitutional
lawyer, was very 'ucrative. His fee in
the Venezuelan boundary dispute. in
which he represented the South Amer
ican republic, was $lOO,OOO.

She Dreamed About the Money.
A woman who believes that dreams
confer a property right when they are
correct in part lives in Altoona, Pa.
Not long ago she dreamed that there
was & sum of money concealed in a
chimney corner in a house some dis
tance away, and that when the owner
died the money shouald become hers, to
be used for the furtheranceof religion.
Recently the owner of such a house
died, and sure enough inthe chimney
corner was found the sum of $16,000.
The Altoona dreamer is now trying to
get possession of the property upon
