ETHEL SPRAGUE MARRIED.
The Yoiias : Actress of Xotoil FaniUy
ISccomcs n rjij-nlclan' Wife.
BsLTlilov.K , Mel , Oct. 31. A San
Francisco dispatch announcing the
hasty marriage in that city of Dr.
Fran * / : Donaldson and Ethel Cliane
Spi-ague. the actress , daughter of Kate
Chase Sprague , did not surprise the
Maryland friends of Dr. Donaldson. IIo
IS the son of a Ualtimore physician.
Upon his graduation from Harvard
he practiced his profession for several
years in this city with success. In
early life he married Miss Nannie U.
McDonald , member of an old Virginia
familj' . They spent several years
abroad , but upon their return from
Europe ; Mrs. Donaldson procured a di-
vorce from her husband. One of the
sisters of Dr. Donaldson three weeks
ago received a letter announcing that
lie had accepted a professorship in one
of . the medical colleges of Kan Franph
cisco. Prior to this he lived for some
months in New York city. He has
written several plays and was ouite a
noted amateur actor , though he was
never known to aspire to the profes-
sional stage.
It is understood that a secret mar
riage was contracted by the young peo-
pie in July. The opposition of the
bride's mother and the fear that it
might injure her professional career
have been given as the reason why anre
nouncement was not made at the time
of * the marriage several months ago.
, The discovery that the facts were
known is said to be responsible for the
hurried religious ceremony performed
last evening.
TORNADO IN OKLAHOMA.
Five rersons Killed at Mitchell "Was a
Terrific Storm.
Githi' .ie , Okla. , Oct. 31. Wednesday
night : a disastrous tornado swept over
the little town of Carney , thirty miles

varied from 100 to 150 feet in width.
The first house struck was that of a
farmer named Miles Tobe. Tobe ' s 1
house was blown down and Tobe. with

to smithereens. A bedstead which
was in the house was blown over a '
mile.
Yesterday morning the bodies of Mr.
and Mrs. Mullin were found in the
rain : and mud about sixty feet from
where the houses were shattered to
,
pieces. The two bodies were locked
together , and a .stick a yard long and [

THE KISSING PROBLEM.
Cndiana'3 I Board of Ilealth Secretary
Advises the Use of a Disinfectant.
Indianapolis , Ind. , Oct. 31. The
secretary of the state health board re- ;
ports I that at Columbus a man persisted
in i kissing his sv. eetheart , who was
alarmingly ill of diphtheria , by which
he I also contracted the disease. He
therefore I wants to interdict all kiss-
ing. i concerning which he says : "I am
convinced < of the difficulty the health
board | will meet in trying to taboo
kissing | among sweethearts. Although
a most dangerous pastime , there
1seems to be an inherent tendency to
indulge j in it. and we have little hope
of ever being able to do away with it.
All that would be necessary would be
to 1 rinse the teeth well with it and rub
it well on the lips. That would insure

The Acting Intrlureli Attacked In lilt
Carriage by I'onr Would-lJe Assasisinn
I'IccIrch by tlie Sultan.
Wasiiington , Oct. 2S. The Turkish
government has notified the signatory
powers of its intention to carry out to
tin fullest extent the entire spirit of
the reforms embraced in the treaty of
Berlin. j . The measures to1 be adopted
ivill carry the reforms not only intc
the six provinces of Turkey contemnc'
plated by the treaty and peopled by
Armenians , but will embrace- the en-
tire empire.
The authorities , at Constantinople
have taken steps to counteract the
public disfavor against Turkey , , due , it
is felt , to a lack of knowledge of the
; onditions surrounding the Armenian
troubles. It is pointed out that the
Armenian subjects of the sultan
have retained their- nationality , their
religion ] and their wealth for the last
six hundred years under the protection -
tection of the Ottoman empire , and
. ,
that in no other country have the Ar-
menions been protected ini this independent -
pendent exercise of all their rights and
privileges. ; As an evidence of this , the
fact < is cited that r)97 non-Mussulmans
an employed in the Turkish governne
tnent service at Constantinople alone ,
while the number of Mussulmans 5u :
the whole government service there is
about 1,800. Considering the difference -
ence in population , it is said that the
non-Mussulmans are thus given a far
greater proportion of public employco
ment than the Mussulmans. This.
same favor , it is said , holds good
throughout the populous portions-
the . empire , where the sultan has
sought to give the non-Mussulmans a
full share in government affaii-3. liut
the authorities feel that there has been
a lack ] of appreciation and gratitude on
the part of the Armenians , who are de
termined to rule or ruin , though in a
gxeat minority.

Monsignor \ Dartelomeos of the Arrr.cn-
ian patriarchate was cnterug : his carriage -
riage 3'esterday four men tried to assasth

( let SG20 and "Watehea.
Guthkii : . Okla. . Oct. 2S. Sac and 1
Fox < Indian agencies , sixty miles southS
east of here , were held up and looted I
yesterday afternoon by the same gang
of bandits that looted the town of Car-
ney last week.
Sac and Fox is enly thirty-six miles ;
from Carney. There were four robcc
bers , masked , mounted and armed.
They first rode to the office of Agent 1
Thomas , presumably to demand the
money to be paid as annuity to Sac
and Fox Indians next week. Agenl 1
Thomas has S40.000 in greenback ;
ready to pay the Indians.
Thomas was not in his office The
krobbers then went to the store of Mrs

Fannie AVhistler , covered the inmate ;
and : took S4S0 and valuable paper ;
from the safe.
They then held up J. W. Mofiit's
place and got 50 and a gold watch.

boldness oi the robbers frightened the

unable to resist. After robbing Keo

GONS FOR THE NAW"T
,
OrdnancP Bureau Kvpnrts I'rojrrirk.
AI licit Work Done.
WAPnrxoToy. Oct. 2S. Tlie nnnttfll
report of Captain Sampson , chief of
tin naval ordnance bureau shows that
a great deal of work has been done
during the last fiscal year toward the-
armament ' of ships of the navy. Up tv
date tlie bureau has built 450 guns of
large caliber , has 89 partly completed
and has condemned only two. All of
the ( six inch guns on hand arc to be
converted into rapid firing guns as
soon as funds shall be available. The
appropriation of 5250,000 for reserve
guns is being utilized to construct
two S-iuch , two 12-inch and two
JS-ineh guns and these , with those
previously < authorized , will suppky the
needs of the naval service for some
time , leaving the only appropriation
needed ' for guns to arm the auxiliary
cruisers. Much difficulty has been ex
perienced with brown powder in the
large caliber guns and an escape from
this by the introduction of smokeless
powder of this type for the use of the
smaller calibers is now being made and
it" will be issued soon for all calibers up
to- six inch.
A large number of five and'six inch
projectiles is-still needed and the bureau -
j
reau strongly urges that it be authorized -
ized to require a reserve store , as the
projectiles , improve by the- lapse of
time.
During ] tlie-past year 2,262 tonsof
armor'have been delivered , of which
BS1 tons were reforged plates. The
deliveries under the old contracts-have
|
been completed and the makers are
showing j great activity in taking up
the work on tlie new plates , so tliat it
is predicted , the construction of the
new ships will'not be delayed for want
of armor. The two armor- companies
now claim a total annual capacity of
3,400 tons of armor.
The department has inspected and
classified as auxiliary cruisers nineteen
American steamers on the Atlantic
coast : and nine on the Pacific coast.st
These will require forty-six G-ineli
guns , twenty-seven 5-inch. 104 of the
1-inch guns.fifty-four of the 0-pounders ,
eight of the 1-pounders and 112 maj1
chine guns. The estimates for tlie
next year aggregate 59,104,020 , the
largest item of S7,720,7I > G being for the
armament of vessels authorized.
FUSION IS OFF. .

Chicago. Oct. 2S. G. F. "Washburn of
the Populist national committee , who 1
returned from Georgia yesterday , dc-
clared : in an interview last night that
fusion negotiations between Senator
Jones and himself are ofr. He said :
\it \
• 'There were a few States where fusion ,
was pending and we were trying to
consummate arrangements. When I
visited Georgia ! saw that it was vitally
essential that all complications should \
bt adjusted at once , that the solid vote !
of the

might be secured for Bryan. "While we | !
were arranging these matters , it was
flashed over the wires that the Georgia
and Tennessee Democrats had rejected 1
the overtures made by the Populists
and adjourned without making a conn-
ter proposition. As these two States '
were involved in our arrangements this 1
action rendered it impossible for us to
continue uesrotiations.

The orator was in the midst of a stirring -
ring appeal , urging the necessity for
individual exertion and unllinching pasyi
triotism to avert the dangers that
threatened the political party whose
principles he espoused , when he perbo
ceived the terrible sway of the packed
assembly and the imminent danger
that might ensue.
Webster stopped short in the middle
ol a sentence , advanced to the edge of
the platform , and in a stentorian voice
of command cried out , "Let each man
stand firm. "
The effect was instantaneous. Each
man stood firm ; the great , heaving
mass of humanity regained its equilab
ibrium , and save the long breath of reVr
lief that filled the air , perfect stillness
ensued.
"That , " exclaimed the great orator.
"is what we call self government ! "

The man , 'oman or child who re-
ceives such advice is usually in great
danger ; and the person who gives such
advice is generally in the employ of
Satan. No one is more likely to red
ceivesuch < advice than the farmer's
oson , and the man most likely to give
it j is the farmer's "hired man. " The 1
man employed on the farm to work by ,
the ( day or the month , where he is al- '
bmost ; certain to associate freely with
ifthe \ boys in the family , should be most
closely , inspected , and his purity of
rmind : and language should be assured.
Nothing short of the records in

evil done by hired men in the vile

stinjunction is once given time is the
most important reason why it should
be violated. Fathers should so invite

Human beings are not the only ones
who suffer from sea sickness by any
bmeans. . One hears a great deal about
aithe pangs that have filled men and
women with woe. but little is said of
the menageries carried hither and
3vthither in wave tossed boats. Lions
and tigers may be majestic when they
rehave unwavering earth or rock against
their paws , but a sea sick cat of these
tribes is as miserable as any man ever
was , and does not Pjok a bit more
kipsly- than a wet rabit. Even its
roirs and growls have a weeping sound H
[ n them , quite in keeping with the gen- H
cr appearance of the beast. H
A monkey is as pitiful an object when Hit
U Is sea sick as any other beast so H
stricken , and it3 forlorn facial cxpres- H
son ! < ia so hitman like , and the way it H
clasps , its paws ncrosu its stomach la H
so natural , that the man who Is not H
sea sick necessarily sees sciucthing to H

It takes a dog to be woeful at sea. HIt

its tail between its legs and head hanging - H

To free it.vlf the dog goes through all M

on the deck , groan and squeal , sometimes - H
times rising on its haunches and lifting - H

A certain proportion of our sponges ,
are obtained off the coast of Tripoli ,
and at present there are about 1.T0O
men engaged in the sponge fishery d
there. Harpoon boats no longer go 1
there , as they can only work in shallow ]
water ; where few and inferior sponges
are to be found , and divers will not now j
venture into the water for fear of being
attacked by sharks. Helmeted divers ,
or those provided with a dress , have
not been known to have been attacked
bJ sharks. These , it is said , are able
to gather sponges at a depth of IS to
25 fathoms , while the other divers can
descend as far as 30 fathoms , but they
rarely have time to pluck away more
than one sponge at a dive ,
