Hood, the distressed mother of Misa Joocphine Hood, who U believed to hove married the b ira milt "Lord Doublas," alias Rhode·, alio· Covendiah. ar rived here yesterday afternoon for the purpioae of identifying a photograph of the bogua lord aa that of the man who married her daughter at New Iberia, La., December 18, 1905. Before be log shown the picture Mrs. Hood waa aaked for a descrip tion of the man who wedded Miai Hood and who, with his bride, disappeared. Mrs. Hood described Cavendish minutely. She apohe of a wart or mark over the left eye, also the color of his hair and eyea, a acar on the left leg that Caveudiab often spoke of and which be told had been received in the Boer war, alao hla general appearance ana height. The description given of Caveudiab by Mrs Hood fit ted the description of "Lord Douglas" as seat out by the po lice of Fort Worth, Tex. Mrs. Hood was then shown the pho tograph that was sent to the Asbeviile police by one of the wives of the bigamist. Sbe in stantly identified it aa that of the man who had married ber daughter. Mr*. Hood examined tbe photograph tbia morning and was more firmly convinced that John C. 'Cavendish and "Lord Douglas" was oae and the same person and that her daughter had become the wife of the most notorious bigamist in civilised lands. SEARCH FOR TUB 1R1DR. Now that the (act b estab lished beyond a doubt that "Lord Douglas" has added an other victim to hi· lone string and that MU» Josephine Hood 1· his latest victim, relatives of the j (rang woman will resort to every known means to locatt the missing bride. Not a line has been beard from the couple since they kit New lbeda last December. Rel atives of Mrs. Cavendish have been assured by Judge Pritch ard of the United Statea Circuit Court, that he will do all in his power to aid in finding the miss 'Fog girl. Judge Pritchard will lake the matter up with the De partment of State at Washing ton and urge that some steps be * taken by the United Statea gov ernment to aid in locating Mrs. Cavendish. The Stale authori ties of I«ouisiBua will also be asked to lend their aid and offer a toward for the apprehension of the bigamist. In the meantime the relative* of Mrs. Hood have seat wires to friends and rela tives in 7/>ui«i«ns and Texas for information relative to Caven dish or Douglass. The Port W<xtk wile of tbe bigamist will be seen and probably some trace of tka man obtained or at least aomethtng of his previous move ments that may lead to his ap prehension. The relatives and mends of Mm. Caverulnh are after finding the |irl first, how ever, and tien let the authorities deal with the man. MAM'* OUMCTHimCI, It le known that Doodle·, or Caeeadieh, bat takes at tart Am of tria wives to Mexloo.

One οf the he serried In Viigtaie vu also taken to Monterey, and likewise another one. Caven dish ia aaid to have lived in New Iberia (or a period of two yeara; rather, he made New ibera his home and left occa sionally for "vacations" of · few weeks or months. While in New Iberia he dressed well, made a favorable impression upon the people of that place and passed os a "veteran" of the Boer war. He made the ac quaintance of a highly respected family of New Iberia and alleged that he was of kin to tbem. It wjs with this family, his alleged relatives, that be lived and wber» he married Miss Jo sephine Hood. He appeared to have money, but didn't work. He passed ai an invalid. He told the people of New Iberia that he was shot in the left leg during the Boer war and that the scar be bears was the result. The wart over the left eye was pronounced. The man never attempted to have it removed and never tried to cover bis tracks. F ΑΤΗ KB THRKATliNK» TO KILL CAVENDISH. Mr. John N. Hood, father of M Us Josephine, was opposed to to the marriage and threatened to kill Cave ndiah. .It was this al leged fear of Mr. Hoodthat Caven dish wouldn't allow his bride to send to her home for her trunk, jost before they left for Mexico. A friend of Cavendish bought the tickets for the honeymoon trip but where these tickets were pur chased to la not known. Short ly before the couple boarded the the train Cavenisb produced a $50 bill and secured smaller change for it. UK8CR1PTIOX OK "DOUOLAS." The description of Douglas, a photograph of whom Mrs. Hood to-day identified as that of John C. Cavendish, is as follows: Height, five feet, six or seven inches; weight, 140 pounds; complexion, blond ; eyes, blue grajr; color of hair, iron-gray; nationality, Scotch; occupation, bigamist; name, 'Lord Douglas,' alias Rhodes, alias Duncan, alias Cavendish ; age, 40; marks or scars, wart over left eye on lid ; scar on left leg; tooth out on left upper side, Although photographs of Donglas or Cavendish have been sent to the police of AsheviUe the man never visited this city or section to the knowledge of the officers. Chief of Police Bernard baa many letters from wives of the bigamist, and it is through Asheviue's chief that the ideotiftcatton of the biga· mist as that of Cavendish waa brought about NnaMil MU Sltael —"'Mlmm* M ta tlw Ce»*·»· The monument will be erected on King's Mountsin.

"If I were ■ young nun seek ing something at the hsnds of uiy countrymen," said Judge Jane· H. Boyd lut nigbt, lo a circle of frienda at tbc Central Hotel, "1 would run for tbe Législature in Guilford county on the anti-automobile ticket. We have about 20 automobiles in my town and the uules and horsea of Guilford can't get used to them. Hardly a day passes that some horse or mule does not climb a back fence or a wood pile. Yes, air, a fellow wonld get all of the country votes on an anti-automobile plat form." "That recalls tbe first appear ance of the bicycle in this country," said the man who has traveled all over North Carolina. M1 beard Mr. Cyrus B. Watson tell of an interesting experience that be had one day when the bicycle first became popular. He said that be began to dodge when he heard a bell ringing, no matter if it was a dinner bell, and kept it up until tbe soand died ont. One afternoon, Just about dark, he was on his way home from a quiet itroll. He bad palled · hill almost to the brow and turned to crosa to the oppoaita aide of the road. As be hit the middle of the street, or road, be heard the frightful sound, 'blinger-ling! blinger-ling I' He became terror stricken and floundered, turning ronad and round iu the :oad, swinging his club preparatory to warding ofl a blow from an «upcoming wheel. 'BUnger-lingf blioger· line! lingl ling!' came a danger call. The first ring had been turned on by the cyclist to warn any old traveler who might happen to be over tbe hill, but the second one was to warn Mr. Watson, the person in sight. "There was a mix-up with first one man on top of tbe wheel and then tbe other. Round and round and up and down the collision continued. The front wheel of the bicycle had struck Mr, Wataon in tbe tummy and downed him, but the resourccfal lawyer rallied, shoved the machine back, climbed over the top of it and waa preparing to beat the rider into a pulp, but when tbe cyclist saw the fire in Mi. Watson's eye be reared up, backed out, grabbed hia wheel, mounted on the jump, rode over Mr. Wat son's prostrate form and glided down the hill. Mr. Watson waited until 12 o'clock for tbe return of the man, but he never came. "itvn since that day Mr. Watson fau be«n «by of any thing that looks like a vehicle without a borse. For ten years he has looked for the fellow who gouged hira so with the bicycle that night, but has never been able to identify him. Ha carries a gnu now. but cannot refrain from running whenever he hears the 'bonk, honk, bonk' of the automobile. "This story may vary ft little from Mr. WsUon's version of his mix-up with the cyclist end the wheel, but the facta ara right." "Do you know Judge Risdan Tyler Bennett?" asked a gentle man who bad been laughing to himself for aome minutes. "O, yes," said everybody. "Well, yon ought to hear him on the bicycle I He can lecture on the square at Wadesboro for an hour on yellow shoes and bicycle*. They say that if, when riding bta big black hone Ία the country he seta a man and his wheel coming, be will de liberately ride to one side, get behind the largest tree in the neighborhood and let the thing go bv. He often aaya that he faced gratte ahot and shell dur* iog the civil war without fear and trembling but the dauged bicycle, with its bell, make· th« cold cbllla ran over him. He can't help being nervous at the sight of one." -ι τοα« a oicycM «MO UCT firat becaaie cornnoi," i«ld > yotiDtf fellow, "and have bad aoaie htany experience·. One day I «u aalllajr down a Ion* (ravel bill la Union county, «içht or nine years «to, when I *pted aa old colored woman, wUb a tara* handle of soiled clothe· on her head and a loaf ■Ufl la bar band, who waavofar in tba aama direction and had almoat reached a little at ream acroaa the road when I firat caught atffht of bar.

"Theae talea remind me of auuirtbintr that happened here ia front of the Central Hotel about a decade ago. Old Dr. J. P. Strong, who owned tbc Charlotte Democrat at that lime, bad quit hi· labor· and come ap here to paas an hour or ao with bU friend·, llr. H. G. Spring* and other·. After having sat and chatted for a time ha got no and tu atanding on the cobble stone· in the street there, in fiont of the party of men who occupied chair· oo the sidewalk. A young lady, who bad jut taken to the wueel, came up be· bind Dr. Strong, riding toward the sidewalk, where she in tended to dismount. Some thing ia the rear attracted her attention tad sac turned tier bead ud looked around. The wheel, which moved on without being guided flipped between Dr. Strong'a leg·, and inatead of looking back to xc whet had happened to bin the old gentle· man jost imagined that aome u»i»che vious friend» bad crept op and poked bim with a «tick and to turn tbe joke lie just cloaed his knees on tbe wheel and held it fast. The bicycle bad gone so far that the yoong lady, who had turned and realised her pre dicament, could neither dis mount nor back out. Col. Springe and bis friends on tbe sidewalk could'say nothing, and tbe doctor jast stood there, wear ing of his long Prince Albert coat, his tile hst, and a satisfied grin. However, after a few sec onds bad pasted Dr. Strong, turning his eyes downward, be held the rubber tire. That made bim look back and then it was that he saw that embarrassed young lady. He looaened up and eaaed away while the yoong woman jumped off her wheel and harried into the hotel. Tbe laugh was on Dr. Strong and I never saw him more teased than be was that afternoon." "Yea, and I saw a ludicrous incident here on tbe square one day. It was during some festive occasion when the city was free of visitors. A 1 a r g r, portly preacher, with gray whiskers and dignified carriage, broke ont of Burwell & Dunn's More and started acroaa the square to catch tbe car to the Seaboard east hound train. That was tbe last car before tbe train was doe. The preacher carried a large, well filled, old faahioned value. He aaw but one thing—the car. With head ap and eyes fixed he shot into the atieet sod ran to catch the car. As the paraon struck the square a young fellow, mounted on a wheel, tamed from South Tryon to Weat Trade street. A collision seemed cer tain to the cyclist. who' began to ring his bell, bat the preacher saw the car and nothing else. The inevitable came and the cy clist, then the wheel and then the preacher weat down. The cycHst weighed about 120 pounds and the preacher MO. The preacher never lost sight of bis car. All the time he teas mash ing the life oat at the cvclist he was calling to the conductor to hold the car. The little man was carsing at the top of his voice. Hewasaaying, Ara you blind?
