Married a Negro.
The New York World pub
lished yesterday a picture of a
wealthy white woman, Mrs.
Miunie C. Provost, who has
travelled extensively abroad, 4
who in November of last year
married a negro by the name of
James A. Cutlar. The bride
was 35 and the groom 30. Her
first husband shot- himself.
The negro was known as
Speckled Beauty" and the
World says : "He came from
North Carolina in the spring of
1896." He was atf expert
wheelman, and was hired in an
Academy to" teach people how to
ride the bicycle. When ' Mrs,
Provost went to learn to ride
tlio wheel, she had been a
widow but a few months. Cut
lai was assigned to teach her
When Mrs. Provost's relatives
heard that she had married a
negro, they turned' her out of
the house, and made efforts to
obtain possession of her nine-year-old
son, but without avail.
She is worth $80,000 in her own
name, left bv her husband.
The manager of the Bicycle
Academy says, "We hired
negroes to teach learners on the
bicycle so that we might obvi
ate any familiarity between our
customers and instructors The
women, who come here are wo
men of social standing and
means, and we wish to protect
them. Cutlar was here only a
short time." He 'denied that
Cutlar had met Mrs. Provost
at his place, though he had giv
en her lessons there. ' "I
found," he added, "that Cutlar
was seen with Mrs. Provost on
the piazza of a roadhouse. They
were drinking. I immediately
discharged Cutlar. I also made
Mrs. Provost take her wheel
from the Academy."
A little child of J. R Hays, living
near Colquitt, Ga , overturned a po
of boiling water, scalding itself so se
verely that the skin came off its
breast and limbs. Tne distressed
parents sent to Mr. Bash, a merchant
of Colquitt, for a remedy, and he
promptly forwarded Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. The child was suffering
intensely, but was relieved by a single
application of the Paiu Balm. An
other application or two made it sound
and well. For sale at N. B. Hood's

Shall Women Propose?
i
A recent reformer has writ
ten an argument that the priv
ilege of making proposals rests
with the wrong sex : that wo
men are the proper persons to
make the selection of a life
partner by request, and not
through the more limited means
at present accorded them. As
an example for any shy and
embarrassed maiden who might
hesitate as to the modus oper
andi m the usual position of
proposing, the writer gives
a
formula for a letter. It con
tains the following: "I have
the highest esteem for your
character. I am sure you
would make a good and affec
tionate husband " to a suitable
wife. Our views and feelings
have often been mutually ex
changed in the most friendly
and unreserved manner, and I
have learned to entertain a ten
der regard for you. If you, as
I flatter myself you do, feel
similarly toward me, and think
I could make you a wife after
your own heart, I shall feel my
self the happiest woman alive
by your accepting me. Should
you consent to my proposal,
shall be delighted to mention it
at once to your mother." The
Complete Letter Writer itself
u i -i
cuuiu. scarcely nave accom
plished so masterful and effec
dye a composition. What pos
sibilities lurk within this sort of
an epistle from women to men !
Cordiality at greeting or evi
dent regret at parting would
make a man tremble with mis
eryilest the next post should
bring him to the terrible letter.
Ex.
: From the LoneStar Sute comes
the following letter, written by W. F.
Gass, editor of the Mt. Vernon.
(Tex ) Herald : "I have used Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy in my family for the past
year, and find it the best remedy for
colic and diarrhoea that I have ever
tried. Its effects are instantaneous
and satisfactory, and I cheerfully rec
ommend it, especially for crams colic
and diarrhoea. Indeed, we shall try
and keed a bottle of it on our medi
cine shelt : s long as we keep house."

Courtship in Ztrailand.
"The powers freely extended
the women of Zum are many,
being particularly favorable to
them in domestic matters, and
in everything pertaining to the
home," writes Edward Page
Gaston in the Woman's Home
Companion. 'These peculiar
liberties are manifest before
marriasre as well as after, for
o ,
the alleged privileges of leap-
year hold rule continuously in
Zuniland. When one of the
daughters of the tribes takes an
amored liking for a young man
she very frankly confesses jit,
and her parents are informed
of her choice of a prospective
x
husband. If they approve, the
interesting information is im
parted, in due time, to his fam
ily ; and if the as yet perhaps
unsuspecting subject of the jse
lection is suited in turn I he
makes, through-the mutual par
ents, an engagement to visit his
admirer at her home. He is; re
ceived somewhat formally by
the maiden and her family,
when something like the follow
ing" laconic conversation ensues
between the young people wmle
the father and mother, with the
other members of the household
sit apart, amiably pretending
not to listen :
" 'Thou cometh,' she says.
' 'Yes ; how be ye these many
days?' he answers. j
" 'Happy. Gather and sit,'
and she motions him to a seat
near her. !
"As a never-failing hospitali
ty on the part of a hostess, when
a visitor enters a Zuni home
she places food before him land
bids him 'loosen his belt andles
sen his hungry.' 15ut he ap
pears preoccupied, and partakes
quite sparingly to give the j-po
lite impression that he is alight
eater an important point in the
favor of a prospective husband.
"'Thanks; I am satisfied.
he says, after dinner off little
more than a bird s rations. !
" Eat enough. You inust
have oome thinking of some
thing. What, have you to say r
she asks encouragingly. !
" 'I don't know.' -
" 'Oh, yes, you do ; tell me,'
she coyly persists.
" 'I'm thinking of you,' in a
whisper , v
" 'Indeed ! You must be mis
taken.' " 'No.'
" 'Then do you love me?'
" 'I love you.' ,
" 'Truly?' I '
" 'Truly.'
" 'Possibly we shalj see.
What think you father?' as she
turns in apparent perplexity to
the family group.
tt 'As you wish, my child her
parent replies. '
"She then appears to pon
der the matter for the
first time, and after due
consideration of the momentous
question, consents to become his
yi-lu-kai ni-ha, or 'his-to-be,
and from that time on they are
as devoted to each other as are
lovers in any clime."
It often happens that the doctor js
oat of town when most needed. The
two year old daughter of J. Y
Schenck, of Caddo, Ind. Ter , was
threatened with croup. - He writes :
"My wife insisted that I go for the
doctor at once, but as he was out of
town, I purchased a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, which re
lieved the child immediately." A
bottle "of that remedy in the house
will often save the expense of a d c
tor's bill, besides the anxiety always
occasioned by serious sickness.
When it is given as soon as j the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. Thousands of mothers
always keep it in their homes. The

Tricks on the Teachers-
The other day a pupil in one
of the public schools asked the
teacher to do a little example in
grammar, and since then what
seemed at first to be a simple
problem has had the serious
consideration of all the peda
gogues in the community, and
it has been unanimously agreed
that there is no rule in grammar
to cover the point , raised. The
youn'gster's proposition was
this : -
"Itls two miles to Wood
fords. Now please write under
that sentence 'There are two
twos in the above sentence.
That is what the boy said.
He did not submit the problem
in writing and when the teacher
tried to follow his injunction she
found out the reason why. It
dawned on her that there were
not two twos neither were there
two tos, and how to express in
writing what was easy enough
to do verbally she ascertained
to be impossible.
The boy responsible for the
foregoing must be a near rela
tive to the youth-who asked his
teacher how to spell Paris green
and when she replied "P-a-r
Par, i-s Paris, g-r-e-e-n, green
Paris green,". retorted :
"No, you're wrong ; you can's
spell Paris green, or blue, or
any other color. Yoii can't
snell it anything but Paris.

A Canal For Florida-
" The articles of incorporation
of a ship canal to pierce the
Florida peninsula have been
filed in New York State, the
capital being $75,000,000. The
assent of the Tallahassee Legis
lature has been secured and
there seems some possibility o
the canal being built, still a
$75,000,000 canal for Florida
would be an ambitious enter
prise, in view of the fact that
the Erie Canal only cost about
$51,000,000 and the Suez Cana
$101,000,000. The projectors
say that the canal would be of
the greatest importance to the
commercial interests of this
country. The width of the
waterway , will be 200 feet
through its entire length, and
it is thought that it will take
five years to complete the ca
nal.

A suit Without a Parallel-
Memphis (Tenn) lawyers
liovo within the last couple of
days brought suit in
county for damages loivueiaui.i
tion of character, alleged to be
contained in an epitaph cut on
n rmnbstone. Such a cause for
action is probably unheard of
in the annals of tlie courrs 1
the county. In Decern!) :, iifOC
L.'B. Cate was shot m l, killed
by one bill Penic. Penic was
indicted and trier! on the c harge
of murder. He wns defended
by the same lawyers who are
now acting for him in this civil
suit. The accu-' d wa- acquit
ted on the plea of self-defense.
The parents of the deceased, L.
D. Cate, thouuht to lienor his
memory erecting m editable tomb
stone over his gravo and hav
ing cut in the in.:: ble a legend
setting forth somo of the cir
cumstances of Ins taking off.
The following was cut on the
tombstone :
"L. B., son of J. C.and L.J.
Cate. Born. April 10, 1770.
Married Willie Fiveman Decem
ber 21, 1887. Was shot and
killed by Bill Penic December
11, 1896; caused by Feme
swearing to a lie on Cate's wife.
Aged 26 years 8 months and 1
day." -
It is alleged by Penic that
this stone was lettered by J. M.
Hutchinson, of Marti. 1, audit is
alleged that the stone was ex
posed to public gaze in the yard
of Hutchinson for quite a while
before it was erected at the head
of the grave containing the re
mains of the deceased Cate.
Since the vindication of Penic
by the trial jury in Weakley
county he has sought reparation
for the wording of this tomb
stone. The complainant seeks
damages from the sculptor and
the father of the deceased in the
sum of $10,000. Ex.

being tint he should take 10,-

hours, with a brief interval foi
refreshment every half hour
Umpires were appointed and
the attempt to make the record
began.
The young man scored 2,000
kisses in the first hour, and 1,-

reached 750 in the third hour
when his lips were paralyzed
