BER SEVENTH KLOFEMENT.
A New Jersey Women Vf bo Haas
Record.
Mrs. Mary Macejko, wife of
George Macejko, who last week
eloped with John Kocses, has re
turned to Passaic and it now
engaged in perfecting a reconcilia
ton with her husband. Mrs.
Macejko left under very peculiar
circumstances. She and her hus
band had been living in harmony
for some time. One day last week,
however, Macejko found a tetter
lying on the stairs addressed to
his wife. It was written by John
Kocses, an intimate friend of the
family. He asked Mrs. Macejko
to me t him at an address in New
York. Macejko at once determin
ed to demand an explanation from
his wife, but when he went in
qui-st of her he found to his dismay
that she had flown.
The husband did not follow her,
but continued his work in Excise
Commissioner Von Heest's shoe
store. On Saturday Mrs. Macejko
returned to Paesaic and called up
on her husband, lie received her
with scorn. She wept bitterly,
but was finally compelled to leave
the place. Slie told a sad story.
Kocses had broken the promises
that led her from home. As they
were walking along the street the
firot night after she arrived in New
York he snatched an overcoat off
a nail in front of a clothing store,
and, on being seen by the police,
lied. The policeman caught bim
and locked him up. She then re
turned to Passaic and continued to
love and chetish her lawful hus
band. When he refused to, en
tertain such ideas she was heart
broken and chided him for being
fickle.
Mrs. Macejko has eloped seven
times. Six times she has been for
given, and the couple have lived
on lovingly, but her husband de
clares that be will not take her
back again. New York World.
OI.VMPIA LEGISLATURE.
They Will Appropriate 973.000
for the World's Fair.
Olympia, Feb. 21. The proba
bility is that the Washington
legislature will appropriate from
$75,000 to $100,000 for the world's
fair. The matter came up for the
firat time in the senate to-day in
ste eliane ol a proposition to levy
o a mill tax- for the two sue
eeediox . years. - - The . meulbors
from the east side of the uioun
taina were generally opposed to so
large an ppropnation; but . ex
pressed themselves an -willing to
feoneede to $50,000. VAa much as a
ball a million was advocated ty
the west side senators. Ihomp-
on, of Walla Walla, characterized
tne'bin as a scheme of real estate
shares to make money, and said
the state does not want to appro
priate money for champagne din
ners and theater tickets 'at Chi
cago. The debate ended without
dpfinitA ar t ion
CLitc;wU-n iwtag rail
wav submitted its report to tne
legislature recommending a memo
rial to congress asking for $43(1,000
to build a portage railway at the
Cascades, and also for a state
appropriation of $125,000 tor a big
railway transfer boat to operate
between The Dulles and the (..as
cades. Inasmuch as Oregon-has
failed to act upon a similar report
it is cot likely anything will be
done. Sach s impeach men t case
continues to be the chief sensa
tional topic of conversation among
members. Collector Bradshaw
and Thomas Jackman, of Port
Townsend, arrived to-day and will
remain in Sach's interest. The
normal school difference has been
settled in compromise with the
measure, which provides that two
schools shall be located west of
the Cascade mountains by the
commission to be appointed by the
governor.

AN I'I'KUAS IN CONGRESS,
A Heated Debate Causes Excite
ment la the House,
Washington, Feb. 21. The ad
verse report of the majority of the
house coinage committee on the
senate free coinage bill save in part
Under the present act $54,000,000
are being added annually to the
volume of currency of the coun
fry, in the form of treasury notes
for the bullion purchased. This
would at the same rate gradually
add to the volume ot currency
the above amount of bank notes.
Under tne present law there is a
provision for usini; the world's
surplus, which is all that unlim
ited coinage could accomplish.
It is said; however, that the de
mand of the present law does not
call for all (he silver surplus, and
that there are now in the "Bear
ing" market 15,000,000 ounces,
which are suflicient to keep down
the price of silver to its present
selling figure. Whether these
15,000,000 ounces are likely to re
main as a threat to the market or
whether they are to he used by de
signing persons as a temporary
means to depress the price, can be
determined by the continuance of
tne present policy ol buying no
mo e than the 450,000 ounces
monthly provided for hy the exist
ing law. if the preseqee ot the
15,000,000 ounces is an actual ex
cess, it will be easy at any. future
time for congress to provide for its
absorption into the volume ol
currency.
In the l ouse this morning a
stormy time m had over tho ap
proval of the journal. Fithian
and Springer insisted on having it
read in full. McKinley got the
floor and would not yield to any of
the democrats and a tremendous
uproar ensued, in the midnt of
which Spinola, placing a strip of
paper on his shoulder, threaten
ingly turned that shoulder toward
the lepublicans. Acting Speaker
pro tern Taysot called bim to
order. Finally the journal was
approved and the senate bill fix
ing the salaries of United States
district judges at $5000 was taken
up and passed.
The house then went into tlie
committee of the whole on the
postoflke appropriation bill.
TUE RELENTLESS CZAR.
The Rothchllrls Propose to Make
Him Feel their Financial Power
London, Feb. 21. Since the
return by tbe St. Petersburg gov
ernment of thu Guildbill protest
against the brutal persecution of
Jews in Russia without even the
courtesy of a response, and with
an implied menace to the recent
interference by increasing the
official oppression of Jews, the
Rothschilds have been endeavor
ing to bring financial pressure to
bear upon the Czar's ministers to
compel tbem to ameliorate the
condition of the unfortunate ,eo-
ple in the empire. . The Czar has
already had a warn'ng that some
thing of this sort might happen,
but this has had no effect, and the
famous bankers are trying to make

THE FAITH tlltE.
Death or Another Reliever In
Christian Science.
Pes Moines, Iowa, Feb. 21.
William Protztnan of East Ues
Moines, aged 24, died yesterday
after- a long illnesa of tvphoid
fever. During all that time be
was in the hands of the Christian
scientists, who prayed for his re
covery, but was never given a
particle of medical attention or
even anv nourishment. His wife
is an ardent believer in the faith
cure and his parents and other
relatives were kept by force and
threats from interfering. The at
tention of the citv authorities was
called to the matter two weeks
ago and an attempt to interfere
was made, but the victim was so
far gone that no physician would
consent to take the case.
Protzman was 24 years old and
had good health until December
17th last, when he was attacked
with, colic, which erew into ty
phoid fever. The jury found that
he received no medical . treatment
except "silent prayer. ' that die
tary rules were disregarded and
that he was otherwise neglected.
The conclusion of the jury is that
Protzman came to bis death by
reason of the practicing upon hint
of the teaching of an association
of persons calling themselves
Christian scientists and not from
any 01 her cause. Arrests are ex
ected. EVA ON A SPREE.

went down on his knees by the
Bide of the road as the caisson ap
proached, and with tears stream
ing down his furrowed cheeks
raised his hands ove his head in
prayer. Hundreds of people
showered bunches of roses, violets
and other flowers upon the gun
carriage as it paused. Many of
