Married in a Tree Top-
Wilkcstbarre, Pa , March 25. Miss
Lizzie Swinger and Harry Bangler,
her HCrepted saitor quarreled at a
party held at a neighbor's house near
Montrose. Siiortly before midnight
they returned to tlieir homes. They
were accompanied by the Rev. W.
Hunter.
The parly had occasion to pass
througu a field, Here they were
pursued by a fariuuj bull and all
three took to a troe. Mist Stranger
climbed one treo an 1 Bangler and
tbe minister the adjoining two.
The icfuri.tted bull ran around
and around the tree, bellowing and
throwing the earth in the air. Tbe
trio remained up the trees nearly an
hour and no relief cams. Tbe bill
still stood guard.
Thinking this an excellent time to
reconcile' Uie c tuple the minister be
gan. H:a work wa3 done, however,
almost before he had begun. The
e?upl9 desired t? be married then
atd there, thinking they were about
to meet a tragic death, and the min
ister mimed them. Bangler had
had a licence in his poskst f)T sever
ill weeks.
Ttie lovers could juafc join hands
from where they clung, and when
thay got a grip they held it, while
Mr. Hunter performed the ceremony.
When the goo J man had conclud
ed Farmer Scone and his tsro boys
d rove np with a load of ico. An ex
planation was hastily spoken and the
lull was d rived away, the preacher
kuied the brido and received his f.?e
aad the party were driven to the res
idence of Mr. Bangler.
Decayed Ribs Removed-
Tne Bloom field Advocate save:
Edward Kuller, son of William Kull
er of Spring township, recently re
turned from Philadalphw, where he
underwent a surgical operation that
shows what great advance has been
made in surgery. He had had pleu
risy, how long ago we Lava not been
informed, but it seemed that he could
if -t eet well. He went to the Uni
to tbe Uni
Philadelphia, i
varsity hospital a
There the 6urgeons a;c3rtained what
yt&s the matter. They laid bare three
or four of his ribs and finding as
they expected to find, that tbey were
partially decayed, removed the parts
that were dead, thoroughly cleansed
tbe region affected, sewed him up,
and he rsturnn apparently almost as
ff 11 as he ever was.
White Honse Gnards-
The Philadelphia North American
of
farch 2G savs: It hss been cu ,
tuiMBry, and it is still the custom, to j
have- on guard at the Executive Man-si-
half a dozen or more officers cr
Ninr strictly speaking door-keepers,
wl-evte duty it is to see that relic
liuuvers do not carry off or destroy
the furniture in the President's of
;iri;il residence, and also to keep out
objuctionable characters, who might
rui.ioy the Chief Executive and his
family. But never before in the his
i iy of the government was a cordon
..I Secret Servico meu detailed to the
W hite Honse to protect the life of a
1'itsident until Grover Cleveland
iiK'de the request of Chief Hazen
sboitly after Lis lust inauguration.
A squad of twenty Secret Service
ineu wera at once sent to the White
House and placed tutelar the orders
of President Cleveland. Ten of thee
tion watched the President during
t! day and tbe other ten performed
a similar duty at night. Grover
Cleveland never left the White House
during: his last term as Presideat
that he was not closely followed by
two or more sleuta-honnds. When
be would go out for a drive hia car
riac was followed by a pair of hawk
sbrurg armed to the tectb, in a bug
gy drawn by a fast horse, who had
strict orders to shoot the first person
who might attack -Vr. Cleveland.
Wh-.-n ho made the trip between hero
fin. I Buzzard's Bay, government de
t .(;. ves accompanied him. It is said
taut Mr. Cleveland had an hallucina
tion that he would be assassinated,
and for that reason he was constant
ly Hi.adowed by detectives.
1'resident McKinley, however, is
built upon entirely different lines,
and the next day after his inaugura
tion be ordered all of the Sacret Ser
vice men withdrawn from the White
Ho'tse. In the future the entire
forco of detectives will devote their
attention exclusively torunningdown
law-iireakers, for which they are em
loyd, instead of loafing around the
Wbite HoHse and junketing about
the . ountry with the President.
A CStiott lo the Jail.
Oa Saturday evening when tbe
merry Pennsylvania College Glee
Club were doing their bast to enter
tain their audience in the Court
Houoo there was a different kind (fa
piny Ixung enacted in the second
iorv of the tail that stands east of
th Court House and near enough to I
Le-r tho Glee Club singers. It was . The British government still employs
not music that entertained tbe seven J0?1 iceamen in its army. The
., ... ti . i , Gurkhas, fine soldiers of Xvepal, are cm
pn soaers in the jail. It was a ghost
phiv that created consternation among
tUem The ghost came out of the WHO KNOWST
dimgc-on and was first seen by pri- lhe yeUow mtumu time is here.
-!juij Thompson and Goshen. It! Each tree and sbrub, not doabtful of lbs
was in the foria of a short man Its teg;ewbo(1.rtoM bop, tb. wOn
I .May was white and its limbs year
were black. When Thompson and) Has not the power into full leaf to bring
(i :sL: n saw the thing they excitedly
expressed a! arm and that brought nil
lite prisoners who had access to the
hull between the cells into the corri
tiui and when the yhost moved to-vt-iird
them they ran each for his own
j;o;n. Goohen was ran over aud baa ;
k-' hart. The light from the street j
electric lamp shone into the hall and
made it light nongfa toee the atone
coal that tbe prisoners threw at it,
go clean through the body of the
ghost, bat it did not mind the stones.
After frightening soma of the pr.a
oners almost into fits, it quietly pass
ed through a door that was lightly
closed aad bolted on the opposite
side from the dungeon and haa not
since been seen. Of course it was no
ghost. If the whole story was not a
fabrication from beginning to and, it
was a little play that one or two of
the prisoners got off to frighten the
others with.
THE WHITE HOUSE.
ARRANGEMENT OF THE OFFICIAL
QUARTERS OF THE EXECUTIVE.
View From the Windows of too
Boom The "Iiall cf th DlcppolnteuV
Telephone I Almost tbe Only Motlem
Improvement In the TSullding.
Mr. C C. Bucl writes a raper for The
Century on "Our Fellow Citizen of the
White House, " devoted to the official
cares and dntieg of the president, in the
course cf which he suys:
At 10 o'clock a hardly discernible sign
against the glitss cf the barrier an
nounces to the citizen who lias arrived
under the grand portal that the execu
tive mansion is "open" to visitors. At
2 o'clock the sign is chunged to "clos
ed." The decrkeepers Fwiiig the doors
open to everyloeiy. Within the large
vestibule nothiug is seen which indi
cates the arrangement suid purposes of
the different parts of the mansion. It
was not always so, for originally the
now concer.lrd corridor, or middle hall,
with the staircase on the right, was a
part of the entrance hall. Now the
spaces between the middle columns are
cleatd with colored glass partitions, and
the vestibule is gin:ply a l-'Tge, square
roc'Ui plecFM't to get ect cf.
Kc way appears to oteu to the Ktato
apartments in the center or to tho west
wing, which is devoted to the private
apartments. Yet glass doers are there,
though as imperceptible to the stranger
as a swinging panel. To the left there
is a door which is always open. It ad
mits to a small hull, across which a sim
ilar door is tho side entrance to the
great east room. Abont this splendid
rccm, comprising the whole east end of
the luansien, the visiter may wander at
will before the portraits or enjoy from
the windows the beauty of the treasury
building to the cast or the impressive
landscape to the south, including tho
towering shaft of the Washington mon
ument and beyond tbe ever charming
Potomac, spreading with enlarging
curves toward Mount Vernon, and in
the private garden under the windows
J he may chance to see a merry band of
intie ones.
From tho email hall between the ves
tibule and the cast rcciu a stairway as
cends toward the medial line cf the
building to a vide middle hall, cu each
side of which : ve the offices of the pres
ident. The t:rr:;;:geiiieut is simple, and
in the floor phin covers the space occu
pied below Ly the east room and the
green room, the latter being the ccun-
terpart of ti c rami; hull with ti-c public
stuIiWiiy jn.-t mentioned. At the head
of the-se stairs, over the gree'U room, is
the cabinet ror.in, which is the first
aiKUtmcLt in th; Fouth Fide cf the hall,
a jog cf two steps, at the private dcor
into the president's room, marking tho
raises! ceiling of the oiist rce.m below.
The president reaches his office throng h
tho cabinet room, cnU-riug the latter
frcm the library, which corresponds cu
the second D-.;cr with the blue room cf
the state apartments. Presielcut Arthur
indeed r.se d the libniry as his office and
the cabine t chamber fer an anteroom,
while bis private secretary was domi
ciled in the tr:e:itieuial office of the pres
ident. Duiiiig his lirst term Jlr. Cleve
land preserved the same arrangement.
But General Harrison went back to the
oflice halieivve d by Lincoln's occupancy,
and Mr. Cleveland, em his return, found
the arrangement so satisfactory that he
continued it.
Beyonel the president's large, square
office is the corner room where Private
Secretary Tiiurber is always cither
wrestling with the detail.-! of executive
business cr standing with his shculcicr
brae-eel against the crowd struggling to
see the preside lit. It is a narrow apart
ment and might be called appropriately
the "hall of the disappointed," the png
gestieai being cmphasize-d by portraits
of tho greatest of pie-sidential aspirants,
Clay anel Webster, to which Mr. Xhurbe r
udde-el, us his private1 property,. un en
graving of the closest contestant for the
oflice. Governor Tiide u.
Gu the north side cf the hall there
are two rooms which corresToud to the.-se
cu the south siele just ele-scribcd, the
small one being ex-enpie el by Mr. O. L.
Prnde-u, the assistant s; e retary sincoGcn
eral Gr;int's time and the custodian of
the office bricks as well as cf the tradi
tions whie-h govern the tublic social
routine of the executive mansion. In
his room sits the telegraph clerk at his
iustmmeut, and by the window is a tel
ephone, whie-h saves a great amount of
messenger service- between the president
and the; departments. Occasionally a
congressman, with less ceremony than
discretion, attempts to get an appoint
ment with the car of tbe president over
the telephone-, and there is a record of a
stage e arthtjuake produced in the private
secretary's room by a furious congress
man who found the telephone ineffect
ive and his Olympian stylo even less
so. Notwithstanding that it is almost
the sole modern improvement in the
White Honse, President Cleveland was
seen at the telephone but once, and then,
needless to say, not on call.

A worldly father, after tho style of
Lord Chesterfield, was giving good ad

his entrance into society.

SUBMARINE CABLES.
MtaagM a Fro Stable Speed.
While submarine cables can now be
made of any length and at comparatively
mall cost, great difficulties are still en
countered iu sending messages at a
commeTCTally profitable speed, and these
difficulties increase with the length of
the line. In long cables there is a trou
blesome retardation of the electric cur
rent, due to the fact that the insulating
cover of tho copper strands becomes it
self electrified, and this surface chargo
delays messages by preventing the cur
rent at the beginning cf any signal
from rising rapidly to its maximum
nud agr.iu Irnni rapidly dying out Tho
consequence cf this is that while from
400 to (iOO words a minute can bo sent
i.vrr a land line, the maximum speed
on an Atlantic cable is somewhere cbout
32 words a minute. Before the "siphon
recoreler" and Lord Kelvin's "curb
eeudesr" were invented, the maximum
speed wns c ipht cr ten words per min
ute. Curionsly enough, the more perfect
the cable's insulation may be the greater
is this retardation, and slight leaks in
this covering often increase for the
time the line's working capacity. The
corrosive action of tho salt water is ac
tivo at such points, however, and will
scon canse a break in the cable.
Professor Silvancs P. Thompson cr
the Royal society of England has in
Tented a system cf cable construction
by which he expects not only to increase
the capacity of the present lines, but to
make practicable the covering of the
3,600 miles w hich separate Hawaii from
North Ac. erica. His plan is to make a
cable with two separate conductors in
dexed in the same armor, so ns to form
e complete circuit, and every 100 or 150
miles lie will introduce stretches of
cable witli three such conductors, tho
third being a wire of high resistance,
the puipopc cf which is to act as a sort
Of artifcial ml protected lepk. Ore ?nd
of this il-iiei w ire will be connected with
the positive conductor and the cther
with the negative cue. By this device
the static charge on one wire will neu
tralize that on the other, and all retarda
tion will be avoided. The expectation
is to multiply four cr five times the
number cf words now sent over Atlantic
cablets, to increase to 70 cr 80 the 12
words per minute that ccnld be sent
ever a single core cable to Hawaii, and
raise from 13 to 75 the words sent from
London to Cape Town. New York

NO BLOOD SPILLED.
Hot the Duel Was Fought, and Eierybody
Was 8atUfletI.
Every one who knows anything about
Major SVinton knows that be is without
a spark of physical cowardice. That is
the reason that he incurred no risk in
telling the story that follows:
"Right after the war I went to Texas
and formed a business partnership with
a roufcb Lut brave and big hearted native.
Vc leaseel and stocked an extensive cat
tle runcb, hired our cowboys and estab
lished a little community of our own.
My partner superintended affairs at the
ranch while I did the dealing, the pur
chase of supplies included. This took
me to the nearest market, and, as it was
too soon for the prejudices between tho
two great sections of the country to be
entirely allayed, I was very careful to
talk nothing but business.
"But one day in the hotel an ex-colonel
who hael taken on extra steam at the
bar so persistently attacked my political
principles and so clearly aimed his gen
eralities at me that I retorted angrily.
This was what he wanted. He handed
me his card, and within half an hour
two of his friends waited on me, pursu
ant to the code duello. To gain time I
referred them to my partner and hurried
back to the ranch. He was delighted at
tho prospect It wculel be a great pie?e
of advertising to bowl the colonel over,
and at tho same time it would insure
me against like trouble in the future.
Bnt by principle and training I was ir
revocably committed against the duel.
"It was difficult for me to make my
partner comprehend any such moral bias,
especially as we had fought off cattle
thieve together, and he knew that I
had nerve and was a dead shot. He
himself, when aroused, was recognized
as one of the most dmigerous men in the
southwest His ultimatum was that wo
must meet but with it was a positive
assurance that i ouo should be hurt
The affair came off, and after three ex
changes honor was satisfied without a
drop of blood. My partner had simply
told the colonel's seconds that they must
load with blank cartridges or settle with
him. They hastened to choose the blank
alternative, anel in time the colonel and
I tie-came fast friends. He confidentially
admitted to me afterward that he reck
oned he'd lost his shooting eye and must
keep out of trouble." Detroit Free

OSTRICH HUNTING.
Profitable Sport That Is Making the Af
rican Birds Scarce.
An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport, or rather the sale of booty is so
great as to attract hunters. The Arabs
give themselves to it with a real passion.
Mounted on their fine little horses, they
try as much as possible to fatigue the
ostrich, for as it is 8 feet high and has
very strong legs it possesses a quickness
of movement which the best horse can
not attain. It has great endurance.
Overtaken by tho hunter, it seeks to de
fend itself with its feet and wings, but
more often it still strives to escape by
night, uttering a plaintive cry. In fact,
the ostrich is deprived of the power of
flight by reason cf its great size. The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to lifting such
a weight. Its peculiar organization has
made it the courier of the desert, where
it is able to quickly traverse the almost
limitless expanse.
The Arab knows very well that it is
the habit of the ostrich to make great
detours about its nest in a circle. He
chases it, then, without ceasing until it
is almost there, when, worn out, it suc
cumbs concealing its head in the sand
in order not to see its enemy, or in
stinctively hoping to escape a danger
which it cannot see any more. This
chase requires eight or ten hours, but it
offers large rewards. Tho plumes are
worth a considerable sum, the skin
makes gexxl leather, and the Arabs are
very fond of the flesh. Beside, in spite
of the fact that it reproduces its species
rapidly, the ostnch is all the time be
coming rarer, anel it is hunted lor ex
port and domestication in other conn
tries. It is one of Africa's great re
sources and may become a new source
of prosperity to Algerians if they are
willing to make the effort. The point of
the popular saying, the stomach of an
ostrich, "has been confirmed recently by
an autopsy on one, doubtless for a time
captive, when the following was found
in its stomach: A parasol handle, two
keys, two great pieces of coal, a glove,
a handkerchief, a pair of eyeglasses, a
ring, a comb, three large rocks, the necks
of two beer bottles, the sole of s shoe, a
bell and a little harmonicon. Paris II-

"Oat on the Pacific coast a great deal
at amusement is furnished to people of
aa observant disposition, ' ' said L C
Gardner cf Grays Harbor, Wash., "by
a walk along the seashore. For instance,
there is the robber gull, one of tho most
graceful of birds, which always follows
tho pelican. The latter is an expert at
catching fith, which it sees from a
great height, diving with the swif tnest
of a bullet and seldom missing its prey.
But after getting the fish in its huge
beak with the pendent sack it is nnable
to handle it readily and always throws
it in the air, catching it in its pouch,
which answers the same purpose as a
soldier's haversack. That is tho gull's
opportunity. Tbe instant the fish leaves
the beak of the big bird the robber
swoops down with the swiftiress of tbe
wind, and before tho fish reaches the
distended jaws of tbe pelican it is snap
ped up, and the pelican is left far behind,
looking foolish. Pursuit is useless, for
the pelican is a heavy flier, whilo the
gull is one of the swiftest of the fcatb
cred race. " Denver Republican.

SciroMsi
Infests tho btaod of humanity. It
appears in varied forms, but is forced
to yield to Hood's Sarsuparilla, which
purities and vitalizes the blood and
cures all such diseases. Read this:
"In September, 1S94, 1 made a misstep and
injured my ankle. Very soon afterwards,
A So ire
two inches across formed end in walking
to favor it I sprained my ankle. The sore
became worse; I could not put my boot
on and I thought I should have to give np
at every atop. I could not get any relief
and had to stop work. I read of a cure of
a similar cas by Hood's Sarsaparilla and
concluded to try it. Before I had taken
all ot two bottles the sore had healed and
tha swelling had gone down. My
Foot
la now well and I have been greatly bene
fited otherwise. I have increased in
weight and am in better health. I cannot
say enough in praise of Hood's Sarsapa
rilla." Mas. H. Blake, So. Berwick, Me.
