The ro mance of a mathimonial agency had its happy culntiiitiition here tonight when at tile home of Henry Miller, his daugh ter. Miss Amanda C. Miller, la-caino the bride of Horace P. Robinson, who came all tin way from Vancouver, B. C. to claim her. Rev. J. Ellis Bell, ol the Methodist church, performed thc ecri'inony in the presence of a few guests. About a year ago. through the matri monial bureau. Miss Miller and her fu ture husband began a rorri-sisimieiiee. They exchanged photographs, -ii nil the impression created on each side was such that they Imqime the most ardent or long-distance lovers. The engagement followed speedily, and then, when the blushing bride -elect had written across the continent naming the day, Robinson sent on money for the purchase of her trauseau. Sickness came near marring their plans. Miss Miller by a spell of revet lost all her hair, but the gencrtn groom-expectant remitted enough fumls to buy a wig, rather than have the wed ding postponed. Iiist Friday night Mr. Robinson ar rived from his far away home on l'nget Sound and next day he and his afliaunt-d first saw each other and ratified the vows made by mail.

REMARKABLE PRPHESY A Prediction Made Three Hundred Years Ago Being Fulfilled Editor of Times-Visitor: In reading an old back number of Putnam's Month ly Magazine, published in 1M.1M. we find an allusion to a strauge prophecy, pub lished in the Almanac Propbeticpie printed in Paris in 1li'l,s, by A brum Sawgrin, nearly HIM I years ago. The prediction made was: "That the United Slates would separate from England tin- mother country. That the new son" of civilization would rise in lMilitical power and physical development une ipiallcd by any jhiwci- on Ihe earth. That alter a time Ihe mother and son would become completely reconciled ami cuter into an alliance that would cause their sovereignty to extend over all other nalious. That after the world's subjugation, peace, plenty, commerce ami industry will flourish throughout the earth. That a new era will coine on the earth when these powerful nations, will not only govern, lint actually possess the entire globe. That justice is etern al! Civilization can only arise from the destruction of barbarism. That barba rism and idolatrous worship will forever disappear before the united "Mother and Son." That they will together es lablisli Christianity over the whole face of the earth." This prediction at so early a lal--. part of which having come to piss, is to ay the least unanswerable. This looks like what is called "nianif-'st dcsliny."' Those who arc watching the movi--lnents of nations at the pres.-n: time, can easiiy see that ihe r-tnaai ng poiti.-n of this strange fin-vast will rc.i li its final cominnuatioii so-netinie in Ih- cy cles yet ahead. How soon lie on.- can toll. This is an age of w oii'lr-i-i ill and rapid changes. An age of surprises, transitions, evolution, ooronio'.ions i::nl e-iexecited I'tilmitnients. K. C. P. MI!.

Almanac Will Answer the Question. The question as to when the Twen tieth Century begins is being much dis cussed ami, with permission, this paoi gives below two items from the old re liable Turner's North Carolina Almanac which will settle the (inostion in the minds of all North Carolinians: WHY IS NOT V.MIO A LEAP YEAR? Win n the change was made from "old style" to "new style," by dropping eleven days out of flu- year, it was known that the exact length of the year was not :iirii,j days, hut :!ti."i days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and fifty seconds, ami this difference of eleven minutes, fi n sei-onds. was sought to be eiiializeil by ilciding that Ihe years end ing the centuries should not be leap years excepting when they were ilivis ilile by four hundred, as other leap years are thus divisible by four. Thus 1!HI is not a leap year. Inn the years 21)0 and 24(10 will lie. WHEN DOES THE TWENTIETH CENTURY BEGIN?

EVIDENCE TODAY Testimony of Mrs. Buffaloe is Corroborated BY THREE WITNESSES Mrs. Hicks, Col. Hicks and Dr. Knox Substantiate the Testimony Given by the Plain tiff Yesterday. The trial of ihe suit of Mrs. Julia Tl. Buffaloe for divorce from Dr. A. .1. Buffaloe was resumed this morning in ihe Civil Court. The only witnesses ex amined this morning wen- Mrs. W. J, Dicks. C,d. W. .1. Hicks and Dr. A. W. Kiiux. all for tin- plaintiff. Mrs. W. .1. Hicks, mother of tin- plain tiff, was 1 1n- lirst witness today. Shi testified largely in corroboration of the . hiinlilf's evidence yesterday. Tin1 plaintiff never complained lo tin- wit less of tin- treatment she received from her husband until October. 1S1I7. when she said that Dr. Buffaloe was continu ally ii!arrclling with her. This was when Dr. Buffaloe whipped tin- child. The plaintiff was very much afraid of her hus-hnnd ami Iremlded when he came brio the room. Col. Hicks 1 , ill I Dr. Biill'aloe that if In- and his wife could not irol along together' then Mrs. Buf faloe had a homo at his house. Dr. I'-ulfnloe told his wife in the presence of I In witness that hi- would have to order her out of ihe house. The witness al luded lo Dr. Buffaloe leaving the house .mil not sitting up with his wife in her illness on a specific night. Mr. BusIm-c: "Was it not neecsNai-y fa- Dr. Buffalo!- to get sleep I hat night so as lo attend lo his duties next day?" Answer: "I do not think lhal his practice was so large as lo be inlerfcr n il w ith much." The witness said that she furnished Mrs. BulTaloi- and her child with shoes am! clothes at dilTorent times because they wen- in need of thorn. She gave ihe plaintiff three different dresses :nd In r brother one. or Mrs. It. The food which Dr. BulTaloi- fnrnis'li- od at his home was g 1, substantial food to a person who was well. Mr. Busboe: "Did you over say any thing to try to reconcile husband and wife?" Answer: "I never said, anything but once or twice to Dr. Buffaloe. I ask ed him to call another physician when she was very ill. Col 1 licks always did the talking." Mr. Unshoe: "You knew of these dis agreements between husband and wife: d'ul you do anything to pirovctit scpara liou ami make reconciliation?" Answer: "1 did not talk to them at all because I was afraid I woulil say too much. Col. Hicks did the talking.'' On continuation of cross examination the witness said that the lirst intimation she IimiI that her daughter's relations were nol pleasant was in November, 1S!l."i. At lhal liiii,' the plaintiff said thai Dr. Buffaloe was unkind and quar relled. The evidence of Col. W. .1. Hicks Was given in a slraighl forward manner and was merely corroboratory uf the testi mony of the plaintiff printed in this pa pcr yoslerilay. He substantiated vari ous statements which she nrntlc. Dr. A. W. Knox was a strong witness for tin- plaintiff. His sialcmonl as to her health subslantialcd the plaintiff's evidence. Tin- testimony of this witness was'given strongly. In referring to an accusation which the plainlitT said the defendant made he branded ihe de fendant's alleged charge as false and cowardly, and if made he would hold tin- accuser responsible. This afternoon tile mailer of various lb-positions taken for tin- plaintiff in Baltimore were introduced. There was considerable discus-dun, uf i-ouuscl on their admission, 'llie defense will pro bably begin its evidence this afternoon, but had not begun at throe o'clock. Dr. Buffaloe will go mi the stand either Into lliis afternoon or tomorrow in his own behalf. The ease of the plainlitT was strength ened today by Ihe strong eorrohnlory testimony.
