King, of Galveston, Texas, who is a very rich man and the last survivor of the battle of San Jacinto which gave Texas independence from Mexico, last week married a young girl. Last Monday they were at Austin, the Texas capital, and visited the legislature and of this romantic marriage a commu nication states : "Rev. R. A. King, 99 years old, and his bride, who is 19 years old, arrived here today on their honeymoon trip. Rev. King is a survivor of the battle c-f San Jacinto, which gave Texas her inde pendence. He says that he is the only man now living who fought in that bat tle. He is a cousin, of den. Sam llous" ton. They visited the legislature, and attracted much attention. They left this evening for a ranch in West Texas, where they will make their home. They were married at the home of the parents of the bride, T. J. Long, a farmer of Lee county, this state." The pretty and blushing bride said, when asked concerning her romantic marriage : "They all think we are such a strange couple, but I don't care what they think. I love him and be was my choice. It doesn't make anv difference if he be a few years older. "The first time I met Mr. King was last April, and I will never forget it. He was preaching in Lee county, and it was the second Saturday night in the month. I never bad been in love, but as soon as 1 laid eyes on him and heard his noble voice, I realized what it was to love. "He fell in love with me, too, and after church we were introduced. After that we were together a great deal for sev eral months, and were married at my home, near Giddins." "I suppose if ever a woman ever did love a man, she loves me." broke in the aged soldier, "and then, too, I thought it was best to marry a young girl . I am old and getting feeble, and I think that our match was a very appropriate one, notwithstanding what other people think. Geoiyie is the dearest and sweetest girl in the world, and I could not live without her. She is a great help, aa well as a lovable companion." "I was born in 1S04," continued Rev. King, "and' celebrated my 99th birth day the 10th of la?t month. Georgia is my third wife. Each time I married I wedded a young girl. Her maiden name was Georgia Long, and her pa rents reside in Lee county. I suppose that I am the only man living today who fought at San Jacinto. If there are any others alive no one knows where they are or anything about them. Cousin Sam Houston had a lifet of them, and f am the only one alive. My father lived to be 108 years of age and my grandfather 113. My mother died t the age of 99. I don't know how long I will live, but I expect to be here some time yet." Republican Prosperity Means Demo cratic Defeat. The friends of Andre Giron, the tutor who eloped with the crown princess of Saxony, deny the report that all rela tions between the pair have been brok en off. On the contrary, it it is asserted that they will be married in August. Moreover, it is said the former crown princess will not surrender her coming child to the crown prince in exchange for permission to see her other children. In order to get rid of the runaway crown princess scandal, Giron will be uthorized by some toy monarch pre sumably the grand duke of Luxemburg to assume the title and dignity of a Marquis de Cbatean-Giron, a noble fam ily of France, wiped out by the revolution. A woman of that name became widely known at the end of the eighteenth cen tury by her friendship with Marshal Kleber. It is claimed that Giron is able (or will be enabled; to prove descent from the Frenchman. As a marquis he could marry fnnccss Louise and give the child she expects a proper name.

Senator Vest believes that the next democratic candidate for president should be selected from New York if the democrats wish to make an earnest ght, with a bare possibility of winning, in the campaign of 1 904. The venerable Missourian, whose official life closed with the adjournment of the Fifty-sev enth Congress, discussed the political outlook and pointed out the necessity of a reorganization of the democratic par ty, or at least a union of the factions "The result of the campaign of 1904," said the senator, "will depend largely upon conditions existing at that time, with the chances in favor of the republi cans, and if the prosperous condition of affairs can be maintained nntil the fall of 1904 the democrats cannot win, "I thitik the democratic candidate ought to come from New York, if the factious in the party in that state can unite upon a candidate. The democrats will have to carry New York to win, and, and as the republicans will nomi nate Mr. Roosevelt, it will be desirable for the democrats to unite upon a New York man and make the fight against Mr. lioobevelt in his own state." The seuator spoke of Judge Parker and Sheppard of New York as available candidates, with the preference for Judge Parker, as be had supported Bryan in 190 and in 1900, while Sheppard had not. "A great deal will depend upon Bryan," said the senator, "and, aa I am not in his confidence, I can not tell what position be will take. I can not predict what stress will be placed by the party on the money question as an issue, but the party will have to be united and harmonious to stand a chance to win." Mr. Mr. Mr. Bubonic Plague In Mexico. A desperate effort is being made by the authorities to stamp out the bubonic plague, which has appeared in Villa Union, a town situated on the road between Mazatlan and Sepic All the bouses in w hich patients have died have been burned and every possible effort is being made to stamp out the pest and prevent its spreading to the border. However, ignorance and pre judice have again united to re laid the work of the health officers. A mob attacked the sinitary agents who st-t fire to the houses at Union, and drove them from the village. Later the mob searched for the doctors who re ported plague caea with the avowed in tention of killing them. A company of troopers has been sent to the village, and also detachments of ru rales to quell the rioting and a-?ist in enforcing the sanitary regulations. Everything nec essary to fiht the disease has been sent from Mazatlan, as the authorities see the necessity of defeating its march into the interior. Medals for Bis Families. Mr. Blomie of Cameron county, Penn sylvania, the father of eleven children, introduced in the bouse a bill to subsi dize large families and to provide for ttold medals for mothers of large fami lies. The bill provides prizes ranging from 10, and a medal to coet $10, to toO and $ V) gold medal to mothers of fami lies ranging from nine to fifteen chil dren. The seventh son or daughter born within the state shall be educated at an expense to the state not to exceed (500. The design of the medals are to be furnished by the governor. The act shall not apply to any woman who lias been legally divorced or separated from her husband. To Eliminate Bryan. William J. Bryan's defiance to the East, expressed in interviews and speech ea while he was touring New York, New Jersy and Maryland last week, is to be met in warlike fashion by the "reorgan ize ot the DemocraUs party. 1 nose Democrates who oppose Bryan and who advocate the reconstruction of Democra cy with Bryanism expurged, are about to carry that issue into the the South and West. One of the principal battle grounds will be the state of Nebraska, where Mr. Bryan still retains, nominally at least, the control of the machinery of bis party. It is proposed to crush Mr. Bryan's in fluence in his own state and to prevent at all eoeU his control of the Nebraska delegation to the next Democratic na tional convention. Recent developments have convinced the Democratic leaders of the -East, ueany-aU of whom are classed aa re- organizers, tbat thia plan la not only essential, but feasible. It has been con ceded even before Mr. Bryan's latest in vasion of the enemy's country, that heroic measures were likely to be nec essary before harmony and ataDiuty could be restored to the party. Since be has again spoken and proclaimed his resolution not to yield either his princi ples or liia leadership, the last chance for amicable adjustments of the differ ences between them have admittedly disappeared. All the important leaders of Democratic thought and the masters of the rrty machinery in the East are now agreed that the future of the Demo cratic party can only be assured by the extermination of Bryan as a political quanity. That undertaking is approach ed with entire confidence by the leaders of the reorganization movement who bold in addition to their vast fund of experience and wisdom in party man agement, financial and kindred resources ao vast aa to be almost incalculable in their roflneiice on political events. Another Crank Heard From. Afghanistan Laws. Mail advices from Kabul says the ameer of Afghanistan has divorced all bnt four of his wives. The divorced women are allowed to remarry at their pleasure, and the ameer has piamisid lifelong support to those who do not marry again. His highness haa also decreed by beat of drum that none of his subjects shall here-after have more than four wives and that all in excess of this number must be divorced. The ameer is also suppressing evil doers with an iron hand. In a recent proclamation he ordered that any one convicted of taunting another on account of his religion, shall be blown from a cannon's mouth. This punishment has already been inflicted. Robbers are placed in cages, which are hung prominently in the thorough fares as a warning to others. Another proclamation of the ameer, evidently aimed against those who at tempt to corner grain, decrees that every one owning gram in excess 01 what is necessary for the support of his family for four months shall sell it. If he fails to do so, his whole supply will be taken by force. Lincoln's Birthplace to be Sold. The lower house of the Montana legis lature has passed a bill providing that each newspaper shall once a month print on the first page a statement set ting forth the ownership of the paper, and that an editorial shall be signed by the editor or writer of the aticle. The bill was introduced by John MacGinnls, vice president 01 the Jl on tana ore pur chasing company. Oakland News. Drain News. Normal Notes. The old Lincoln homestead, near Ho genville, Ky., the birthplace of Presi dent Lincoln, will probably be sold "un der the hammer" at master commission er's sale within the next few weeks. Several years ago the old log cabin which stood on the place, and the cne in which Lincoln was born, was torn down and taken to the Buffalo exposi tion, and was later removed to New York city. The only thing that marks the spot where Lincoln was born is a flagpole that was erected there shortly 1 after the removal of the cabin. . Kev. Harbit is conducting a revival meeting at Wilbur. E. C.

For twenty years English and French artists in their post er effects and poster work have kept close to the manner of the Japanese. The very colorings employed in the Arts and Croft furniture reddish brown and dull bronze are Japanese. For M ission furniture, with its precise prim lines an 1 low coloring, a Japanese back ground :s the happiest thing imaginable. While the day of little Japanese fans pinned about and Japanese teapots decorated with ribbon bows has gone, the large ideal of Ja panes) decoration has remain' ed, and the future is likely to see it ap plied extensively to household decora tion.

Married and divorced inside of a year and not yet 13 years of age, Mrs. Will Lena Mc In tyre left Jefferson ville, Ky., for her borne at Bethlehem, Ind.. in a frame of mind bordering on uncertainty as to whether ahe was happy or not. In the Clark circuit court last Wednesday, Judge Marsh set aside the marriage of William Mclntyre, aged 40, and Will Lena Kelly. The French academy of political and mora! sciences has just reoognized the fact that the smailnees of French famil ies is baaed upon existing economic con ditions. It recommends aa a remedy that positions in the postal, telegraph and railway service should be reserved for fathers of families consisting of at least three or four children. The acade my strives to dissipate the idea that the average family should consists of only two children. At Salt Lake City, there ia a division among the Democratic members ot the lower branch of the Legislature and on Monday morning the Chaplain prayed forth minority democrat and the majority became so enraged that they attempted to resolute him from his of fice.

To clean jewelry that haa no chased work jewelers moisten the surface with a brush (like that in a mucilage bottle) dipped in alcohol that haa a few drops of ammonia for every half-pint of alco hol. Then with another brush they aj; ply a little powdered whiting, and polish off with a "jeweler's brush", which may be well replaced by a baby's fine hair brush when it is no longer quite ni enough for baby's baeket. When the ewelry ia chased or aet with real gems the powder ia washed off with soap and water, and the articles are dried by dip ping them into fine sawdust. Stones that are "backed" must not be washed. Any American girl ia possibly, and probably, going to need to fall back upon her own resources some time.
