TWO WIFES, BUT ALL HAPPY
Kansas Man Is Doubly Blessed,
But Family Will Not Be
Divided.
Pittsburg, Kas., May 25.—Peter
O. Sharp of this city and his
two wives, Ann Catherine and
Louisa, settled in the Sharp cot
tage in the suburbs today, told
of their plans to live together as
a happy family. Ann Catherine,
tl e first Mrs. Shari), returned to
r husband yesterday after for
ty years of separation, during
which oaeh had searched the cn
tire country ior the other. Mr.
Sharp lost his wife in the con
fusion which followed the Chi
cago fire in 1871. Through the
pension rools of the war depart
ment she found him and came
here from her home in Oakland,
Cal. Nine years ago Sharp gave
up the search and married again.
“If I thought my coming
would displace Louisa I would
go back to my nursing the sick
in Oakland,” said Ann Catherine
as the three sat together in the
garden today. “She has been
a good wife and married my hus
band in good faith. This is her
home and I shall bring her no
sorrow.”
Louisa held the wrinkled hand
of Mr. Sharp in hers. She is fif
ty years old. lie is eighty-two
and Ann Catheirne seventy-two.
Louisa leaned across her hus
band’s knees and patted Ann on
the cheek.
“You will bring me no sorrow,
my dear,” she said tearfully.
“There is room in this house and
garden for loth. I understand it
all.”
Their common husband nodded
toward a vacant field across the
street and said: “If the women
folk can’t get along together I’ll
build another house for one of
them yonder.”
STEAMER SINKS WITH
SIXTYPASSENGERS
National Company Liner Goes
Down and Many May Be
Lost.
Panama, May 2d.—The Nation
al Steamship line steamer “Tabo
ga” struck a rock off Punt a Ma
la on Tuesday and sank a short
time afterwards. Of the 100 pas
sengers on board only forty arc
known to have been saved.
The Taboga had a cargo of
cattle and was on her regular
coastwise trip.
The scene of the accident is
about one hundred miles from
the nearest telegraph station,
which makes it difficult to ob
tain details of the accident.
The United States gunboat
Yorktown left here today for the
scene of the disaster.

WILLED HIS WIFE
TO ANOTHER MAN
Chicago, 111., May 26.— “Will
you comply with the last request
of your dead husband and marry
Eli 1’ochucha, your husband’s
best friend?” Mrs. Kosa Misko
vieh of South Chicago, who was
strangely willed to Poehucha by
Miskovich, was asked.
The widow, who is about GO
years of age and is undeniably
attractive, blushed as she re
plied :
“I do not know what niy hus
band meant by making such an
absurd request in bis farewell
note. (Miskovich committed sui
cide in his saloon last week.) Eli
and I are good friends. But not
a word of love ever has been
spoken bv either of us, and I do
not know that there ever will
be.”
“But you are not sure?”
“No one is ever sure of any
thing,” was the enigmatical re
sponse of the widow.
The wording and the punctua
tion of Miskovich’s farewell note
was peculiar. Here it is.
“My wife can marry Eli Poc.hu
cha if he wants her?!!”
Now the members of the Ser
vian colony in South Chicago are
asking these questions:
“Was it really a high regard
for his friend that caused Misko
vich to pen these words?” or
“Was it jealously of the pretty
woman and the well built, good
looking Pochucha, who is known
as the Adonis of the Servian col-1
ony in South Chicago?”
Pochucha was a boarder in the
Miskovich household almost from
the time that he came to Chicago
from his native land; he is still
a boarder there. Miskovich wsa
well off; so is Pochucha.
“I think a great deal of Bo
sa,” said Pochucha. “But love
—that is another thing She is
my friend. T cannot understand
how Stephen came to write such
a note. He had no cause to be
jealous of me.”
“My husband was the best
man in the world,” said the wid
ow. “He treated me always like
a child; there was nothing he
would not do for me. He must
have been crazy to write such a
note.”
Miskovich lived in South Chi
cago for some years. It was a
little over four years ago that
Mrs. Miskovich arrived there.
She was not Mrs. Miskovich then.
It is said she was a sweetheart
of Miskovich in Servia, and that
be sent for her to come to the
United States and become his
wife.
There are those among the Ser
vians who say that Pochucha
came from the same part of Ser
via that Bio Miskoviches did, and
there are,whispers of some kind
of an attachment between the
widow and Pochucha that may
have existed prior to her mar
riage to Miskovich.
1 ms. However, is ueineu u,y
both of them.
The Servian colony is watching
the sequel that is to he written
to the note of the man who will
ed his wife to another man.

The newspapers have paid con
siderable attention of late to a
Brockton story which has just
ended happily, as of course all
real-life stories end. The hero
of the tale is a boy of 1G, whose
mother was sentenced to the
woman's prison at Sherborn,
some months ago, on the com
plaint of a husband and father,
who having been accused of non
support and convicted of general
worthclssness, seems to have
thus avenged himself upon bis
wife. When she was “sent a
way” the boy requested that,
sooner than the iamiiy he nroKen
up, lie be permitted to provide
for his three littel sisters. The
judge, on the advice of the pro
bation officer, consented to the
attempt, and the youthful head
of the family set out to “run
the house” on his wages of $0
n week. Naturally so brave a
lad found fiiends, and probably
they supplemented his small earn
ings and helped him to look af
ter the younger children, one
of them an infant. Outside of
Brockton other friends came for
ward—among these the gover
nor’s council, who apparently per
suaded that the woman was no
grievous offender, and that her
detention had lasted long enough,
yesterday pardoned her and re
turned her to her little ones,
says the Boston Transcript. In
thsi connection one involuntarily
recalls the apothegm of Henry
Ward Beecher, “A man can live,
love, laugh and he happy on a
dollar a day” —an assertion that
provoked a roar of protest, the
echoes of which have not ceas
ed to reverberate, but that has
not yet been successfully disput
ed. The Brockton lad achieved
bis ambition on less money, and,
though he must have forgone
luxuries and dropped his needs
10 the lowest notch, neither he
nor his seems to have suffered.
Not to emphasize this point of
Ihe story, its attractive feature
is the comparative inexpcnsivc
ness of keeping a family together,
provided the will to do so shall
exist. It has become a truism,
of recent years, that the poorest
home is better than the best in
stitution. Instead of herding
children in great asylums, they
are now offered for adoption or
at the worst assembled in cot
tages where there is hope that
they can have something like a
home. The problem of their
maintenance and future welfare
tends constantly to simplify, since
philanthropists have grasped this
principle of individual care. It
would he no problem at all if in
every forsaken family there were
several children, one of them with
the will and the courage to make
himself or herself the executive
bead, bn a ease like that of the
fine lad at Brockton, everyone
who hears of it is glad and eager
to help.—Vii tor Murdock.
POKER PLAYERS MAKE $14,
000 IN FOUR DAYS ON THE
STEAMSHIP LUISITANIA.
New York, May 27.— There
were fat pickings for two profes
sional gamblers who came over o
the Lusitiania, in today.
One passenger reported that in
four days the gamblers picked up
$14,000 and that one of their vic
tims lost $1,00 0 in one hour.
“I’ve lived almost all my life i*
parts of the west” said this pas
senger, “where gambling is wide
open, but I never saw such quick
action at poker. Play usually
began in the smoking room at 11
o’clock at night and lasted until
4 or 4 in the morning. The
pigeons could evidently afford a
plucking so it was none of my bu
incss and I did not interfere.”
The steamship officers keep a
sharp lookout for professional
gamblers, but occasionally an un
known chevalier of fortune make
a smashing coup.
This is the appointed time to
•at up what remains of the cann
ed fruit left from last winter.
SENATE STILL
AFTER LORIMER
NOW SENATOR LaFOLLETTE
WANTS COMMITTEE FROM
AMONG NEW SENATORS
INVESTIGATE.
Washington, May 26. — After
devoting practically tho entire
session today to the discussion
of the proposed reinvestigation of
the election of Senator Lorimer,
the senate adjourned without ac
tion, determined to proceed again
with the question at its next sit
ting Monday. Senator La Follctto
concluded his four days’ speech
and announced that when the vot
ing stage is reached he will so
change his resolution as to pro
vide that the senate shall elect
an investigating committee oi five
from among the new senators.
Senator Borah supported the La
Follette proposition and Senators
Bailey and Dillingham opposed it.
Mr.LaFollrtte said lie had been
influenced to introduce bis rcsoliiv
lion for i special committee on
inquiry by following the Illinois
investigation New investigators
had been provided for because hi*
believed that the question should
go to a committee not handicap
ped by a previous decision.
Needs People’s Confidence.
The''next investigating commit
tee, he felt, must have the con
fidence of the people, which he
did not believe the old standing
committe on privileges and elec
tions would have. The public, In*
said, would consider the old com
mittee packed from the beginning
even as has been charged in con
nection with the Illinois juries in
prosecutions growing out of the
case.
Mr. La Follette said if lie were
a member of the cld committee h
would not consent to serve on
the new one because he would iut
feel capable of an impartial ver
diet. Mr. Bailey said that all the
democratic senators desired a no?
investigation, he himself favoring
it because of the discovery of nci
evidence. Tie said the public sen
timent against Mr. Lorimcr was
not well informed, because it had
been shaped by newspaper expres
sum rather than by reading of tli
testimony.
Saying there had been no in
vestigation by a special eommitte
on an election case since the crea
tion of the committee on privi
leges and elections in 1871, Chair
man Dillingham, of that commit
tee, expressed confidence that if
the investigaiton should he placed
in its hands it would present such
a report as would command the
respect of the senate and of the
country.
Senator Borah advocated a
special committee on the interest
of ' disinteredness. ITe regarded
representative government at
stake and urged a searching and
impartial inquiry.

LOOSEN UP.
Don't be a Tightwad
When farmers expect to be in

should put their teams in the
livery barn, have them fed and
go themselves to the notel for
dinner. Of course it will cost a
little money, but did you ever
stop to think that you have only
once to live and after you are
dead what good to you is your
money? Be liberal and help
others. By doing this you will
lighten some other person’s bur
