Weyler was governor of the Philippine Islands for four years, and with true Spanish thrift managed to save up one million dollars out of his annual salary of |40,000. 000 G. W. Eve, of West Tennes see, has named his baby boy Dewey Eve, and a girl baby born in St. Louis on the Fourth has been named Schleyette. 000 It is said of Gen. Weyler that he keeps scraps books of all the i newspaper comments and marks those which are unfavorable in red ink. This is another proof of the general’s great wealth, for if he wanted to save tim and red ink he would mark the favorable comments. 000 Joseph M, Nowak, a lawyer 1 of Cleveland, Ohio, after ten 1 years of married life, divorced his wife and married her seam stress. Then he divorced the ’ seamstress and remarried his first wife. In less than a year they were again divorced, and now Nowak has married the seamstress once more. 000 Gen. Lawton, who has been so conspicuous in the hardest of the fighting before Santiago, > won distinction in the Indian campaign against Geronimo years ago.

After he got on board he waved off all those who were trying to make a great ceremony out of his de parture, and said to the steamer captain : “Come on ; let's get out of this.’’ Then he waved his handkerchief to some good look ing women on the dock, and wgnt into his cabin to unpack his grip. ” 000 The very air of Kansas seems to be conducive to the growth of unique lawsuits, and another peculiar legal contest has just come to notice. On July 4 a young man of Stockton took his best girl to a picnic, but she ac cepted so many attentions from another suitor during the jollifi cation that No. 1 became sulky and went home, leaving her to follow as’ best she could. The girl hired a conveyance in which to return, for which her father paid 75 cents. The angry parent presented a bill to the sulky suitor, and, upon the refusal of the latter, to pay, entered suit before a justice of the peace. Both parties h ive retained law yers, and say that they will fight the case to the bitter end. J BATTLEFIELD ROUTE- I 1 Fioyd Vets Will Travel The r 9 Old War Road to r CONFEDERATE REUNION.
