The recent weddings of Miss Audenrcldand
Miss Alice Gray Hlce weddings which wcro
In effect the capture by foreign prowlers of
two of tlio prettiest 1'irls la Washington has
caused no end of comment as to the readiness
of Washington belles to throw themselves
into the arms of the corps diplomatique , says
the Washington correspondent of the Chicago
cage Post. Elljflhlo American gentlemen ,
even such us have wealth , are not a little put
out over this tendency on tlio part of
their fair compatriots. There Is a glare and
glitter about the average attache that seems
to attract a certain class of American gjrls
such as help to makeup Washington society ,
and yet the average attache Is a very incon
sequential being. Numerous stories are told
In Washington of the doings of these , sentry ,
nnd many nro the sharp comments upon the
manner In which our young ladles run after
them , The dljilomates themselves are with
ono or two exceptions reputable men nnd
seine of them distinguished , but the subordi
nates nro ofti'ii insolent wlilpper snappers ,
ami their immoralities nro often the talk of
the clubs to which they have access ; nnd
vet every ono of these persons Is welcomed
into all grades of Washington society with
out exception , while American cllt'lhles may
cool their heels on the outside unless Intro
duced in orthodox fashion.
Tlio VOUIIK men of Washington who , al
though' not in the oftlclal social swim , regard
themselves as eligible husbands nro particu
larly Incensed at that young Venezuelan who
the'othcr day married the prettiest of the
resilient girls In Washington , There was
nothing about this young Spanish-American
that should have attracted the attention of
nnv American girl much less beautiful than
Alice Gray Ulco. Kenor N. Holct-Monagas
is nn insignificant little transplant from the
tropics , blit wears n uniform of resplendent
Korgeoiisness , and It was doubtless the pea-
cock-HUo glory of this raiment that captured
the susceptible Miss KIco. The method by
which this pirate of the Cnrlbean
sea cnmo upon this prize well tllus
tratcs the boldness nnd unconvcntlontdlsm-
not to call It impertinence , with which these
gold laced mashers too often pursue their
prey , As the story goes , Miss KIco was
walking down Connecticut avcnuo ono day
wlipn she mot Senor N. Bolet-Monagas out
for an airing. Such a vision of loveliness
this Carlhean freebooter had never before
Been , and ho hoisted the black ( lag at once.
Hounding to and bringing his craft upon the
BIUIIO tacit , ho laid It alongsldo the now half-
frightened quarry , but hardly dared to bring
It to. IIo kept her , however , well under his
leo until they reached Dupont Circle , when ,
seeing that the fair craft would not snow her
colors the pirate shewed off und sailed in an
other Collection. But Scnor N. llolot-
Monagas did not intend to give up
the ciiasu ; ho fell in love nt once ,
as Is natural with pirates of the deep.
iTo had no idea who the Itidy was ,
whether rich or poor , but ho meant * to find
out nnd ho did , lie soon found somebody to
Introduce him and thus began the romance.
Ho pursued Ills intended prize with tropical
nrdor and the gossips have it that the young
lady was an easy captive.
Miss Allco Hlco is ono of thrco sisters , all of
them beauties , though Miss Allco wns uni
versally conceded to bo the prettiest. She
was born In Washington nnd Is the daughter
of a fashionable photographer there She
is a perfect brunette In type , with
an ollvo complexion , the red blood
showing through In a way that reminds
ono of the red on a dark ripe peach. Her
eyes are of a soft , languorous .black , with
heavily fringed lids ; her mouth is neither
too small nor too largo , but Just right , nml
her white teeth are as" oven and perfect as n
string of pearls , She is of medium height
and has n Ion if , round waist and n carriage
which Is remarkable for Its dignity. This is
the young woman whom Senor Bolot-Mona-
KIIS took to the diplomatic reception at Secretary
Elaine's Now Year's and
tary on day who
came near disturbing the serenity of
tha diplomatic corps , When that dis
tinguished body learned that Miss
Ittco was only the daughter of a photographer
It brought the matter to the intention of Sec
retary Ulaino. It Is true that Sir Julian
Pnuncefoto , who la a connoisseur la female
loveliness , had in quito a conspicuous way
paid her marked attention , yet ho Joined in
the protest , nnd that made the Venezuelan
legation furious , and young- Senor Monagas
( Jctcrmlnod to bring his matrimonial prize
Into the sacred diplomatic circle at once , and
they were married the very next week anil
will , Ictus hope , "live happy over after. "
But though Miss Alice Uico has gone there
uro plenty of pretty girls yet left in
\Vashlngton. There are two or three
of last bcason's crop whoso beauty
Is sung In two hemispheres ; there are n
couple of buds of the present season , whc
are the talk of the town and all tha rage nt
fashionable teas. The two prettiest''hold'
overs" nro Miss Miittlo Mitchell , daughter oi
Senator Mitchell of Oregon , and Miss Courtney
noy AValthall , daughter of Senator Wnlthnll
of Mississippi. There Is great rivalry bo
twccn these two , although they are of dls
tinct types of bounty. Miss Mitchell is i
very comely woman. She was born in Port
land. Oiu. about so ninny years ago , Hut has
lived nearly all her llfo cither in Washlngtoi
or France , and was educated at Fontaine
blcnu. She speaks French and Italian will :
the facility of u natlvo , and Is fond o
French and Italian literature. She is petite ,
nnd n Imino with a creamy white complex
ion that suggests that all the color had bcci
absorbed into it , Just tinting her skin will
a bloom of health , but ono remove from paler
Her eyes nnd teeth are perfect and her man
ticars nro charming. She Is gifted with i
remarkable memory. She will carry a faci
and a name in her mind for n year and n day
which aids to miiko her n charming hostess
Her nose Is llnely chiseled , nnd there Is ui
expression aoout her mouth which indicates
rare sweetness of disposition. Miss Mltchel
Is said to have had offers of marrlago galore
but she Is believed us yet to ho heart-whole
Ono thing is certain , she is too true an Amer
lean over to be caught by the tinseled corp :
diplomatique.
The Now Queen.
The recent death In San Francisco of King
Kalakaun makes Interesting the question o
the succession to the throne of the linwuliai
islands. It is said that the question will b
peacefully settled. KtdakauasucceededSun

"When Knlukaua was elected ho mimed as hi
successor Princess Lllluokalanl , his slstei
who is married to nn American named Join
O , Domiuls. She Is now regent , havlne beei
appointed such just before Kaiakaua sailed 01
his visit to this country last mouth. All sh
she will have to do Is to take th
oath of ofllco and bo crowned n
queen. Thino is no necessity fo
any election or excitement. Her succcsso
will bo the Princess ICalulanl , daughter c
the late Princess Ukllko , who ts now heir u ]

education. Hho Is a girl of sixteen.
Although there Is talk of a prou.iulo revolt

is not likely there will ho any .trouble. Th
only man who would cause a disturbance I

Louis Ilnnac , a well known jeweler and
morrlcd man of Indianapolis , was tried In the
criminal court on n chnrgo of assault and
buttery upon Miss Helen Patrick , nn estim
able young lady who clerks In Sullivan's dry
goods store. The evidence before the court
showed that Miss Patrick was Kolng homo

They Fought IVr He- .
An unusual prize fight took place nt Ply
mouth , Pa. . In which two brothers were the
principals , A sweetheart coveted by Both
was nt the bottom of the trouble. The two
young men nro John and .Michael Wrlgtit ,
both employed in the mines nml living In n
suburb of Plymouth known ns Whitewash.
They have both been paying attention to a
young woman living near by. It seems that
she favored Michael , and this made John , very
bitter. They had a llerco quarrel about her
and John ottered to light Michael with the
understanding that if ho was beaten ho
should retire. Michael agreed and they went
right out In a vacant lot , selected a couple of
companions ns seconds and went at it.
Though neither had tnueh science , they
fougut In regular rounds of thrco tntnutos
each. The Hunt lasted for ton rounds of hard
hammering. Hoth exerted themselves * to the >
utmost nnd fought most desperately , lloth
wcro badly punished , but nt 'tlio end of the
tenth round John was Knocked out oC sight
with a terrillc nlow over the heart and could
not come to time again.
Kf'nclting I"nr tin ) lliijli Notes.
If nature has endowed a singer with the
power of producing high notes they will bo
sung spontaneously , Signer Cainpanini de
clares in the Ladies' Homo Journal for Feb
ruary. Otherwise , they will neither bo
agreeable In quality or tone. AH singers are
not alike. Their voices nro Ditched In dif
ferent registers. Some nro pitched high ,
others low , and a great many medium. If a.
singer , not naturally endowed with n. high
register , attempts to sing beyond bis or her
capacity by forcing the voice , ho or
she Is In danger ot Injuring the voice.
Any ono possessed of a good volco
may by study and culture produce higher
notes than they otherwise could hope to do ,
but no professor of music , no matter how
eminent , over created a volco where It did *
not previously exist. Great singers are born ,
not mado. " Many singers have temporarily
strained their voices by tryinp to do too
much. If the Hvolco is naturally high , no
matter what the pitch may bo. the singing
will bo pleasant nnd ngrncablo to the car. If ,
however , n. singer trios to do too mucli , the
effect will bo similar to a man who endeavors
to walk up two steps at a thno when ho Is
only able to niako one. It will pro vo ruinous.
Do Rot strain your voice , or you may lese it.

LOST AN ISLAND AT POKER ,

"We have heard a great deal nbcmt Snm on
In'onovnyor another , during the past few
years , but history has fulled to rcluto how
ono of tlio : nest Important Island * in the
group was ono day won mid lost in a gwno of
poker. The facts hnvo been well guarded by
these concerned , snys the Chicago Herald.
It was nil on account'of n jack-pot. For
several years Mallotoa , the king , had heard
frequent accounts from visitors to the island
of n fascinating gntno lu which ICulalwun , tho'
late king of Hawaii , frequently Indulged
Now all the Samonna entertained strong feel
ings of admiration for the neighboring gov
ernment of the Sandwich Islands. Mullotoa
looked upon ICtilakaua ns a ruler who
might well Do taken ns a model , mid ho there
fore L'O Mdcd'that until ho had learned to play
poker he was not fully competent to govern
Samoa. Ho thcroforo jsjiido a stern resolu
tion to tuko the thirty-third dcprco In the
mysteries of the gumo , oven if ho had to
squander every cent in the royal treasury ,
amounting to 79. In addition to his private
treasures , liicluiliiigii worn-out imvnl olllcer's

The. king's opportunity came soon after an
American inan-of war sailed into the harbor
of jVpln ono day. Among the olllcers was a
paymaster , a lieutenant and un assistant en
gineer , who had taken their first lessons in
poker nt Annnpolls , nnd who had been stead
ily growing In proficiency over since. Among
the white residents of Apia was a traitor who
hud mastered the tlrst 11 vo points of tliogamo
after the expenditure of ninny dollars , and
who \vus known to play a pretty strong
band.
Ono tiny the ofllccrs nnd the trader re
ceived an Invitation from Malietoa to Join him
that evening in a gumo of cards at the liousu
ot a Kuropcnn who lived near the beach.
When night came the king ant ! his guests met
at the house in question ami his majesty ex
pressed his desire to learn poker. Ho was
' 'coached" during the evening alternately by
ono of tuoofllcera or the trader , and after
live or six hours felt confidence enough in
himself to piny his hand unassisted. The
limit had been low and the play small , out of
reward for his majesty's ' ignorance of the
Kami1 , butns ho began to comprehend its gen
eral features and Its opportunities ho became
moro interested and excited , until ho insisted
and nt lust commanded that the limit should
bo taken off.
EMi'Tini ) Tin : noy.vi. Titn.m'iiv.
It was " o'clock In the morning , the king
having : Insisted that the game should go on ,
and the largest Jack-pot of the night was on
the table. Several tiands had boon dealt
around without anyone having expressed his
ability to open tlio pot , when the king , with
a look of surprisennd a smile of pleasure and
.riuniph combined , announced with an ex-
irosslon of gleu that ho would open It Sx'O
.vonh , for through courtesy the roval player
lad been allowed to win quite a pile of sli
er.
Everyone stayed. The paymastox1 drew
kreo cards , the lieutenant the same mini-
jer , tllo assistant engineer took two and
, ho trader one. The king stood put und
: MHIOjuorc Into the pot. The paymaster
aw him tmd raised him $25. The others all
tayed , The paymaster threw in $25 inpio
and his majesty was right there. Finding
that things wcro getting too warm , the other
oftlccrs and the. . trader dropped out.
The paymaster put down the cigar ho had
been smoking , "skinned" his hand over and
ihovcd & 0 to the middle of the table. The
iiing put up the equivalent in Chilian silver
dollars , the currency of the islands , and
drawing a small canvas sack from his pocket ,
emptied Its contents before him and excitedly
ilnced in the pot the funds of the royal treas-
.ivy of Samoa , amounting to STl' ' , in silver
dollars , halves and quarters.
JIONKV GON'U , III ! J'UT UP AN ISLAND.
The paymaster's face grow snrlous and ho
ooked nt his royal opponent in n hesitating ,
juzzled sort of u way. Could this bo a Samoan -
moan Ah Sin ho had.run against , ho pondered.
Had this kingly , copper-colored sou-of-a-gun
learned the art of poker from visiting trad
ers years before nnd had ho been playing
'possum all the evening ) The offlcur nail six
or seven months' pay lu ills pocket and he
decided to venture some of It for the purpose
of finding out. After n few moments of in
decision ho drew $ T > 7U in gold from his pocket
and added to the pot , which now covered the
middle of the table.
Malietoa gave a gasp and called for a bowl
of leuva to nerve himself for what \v h to fol
low. The other ofilcors and the trader looked
on bllontly and breathlessly.
Malietoa announced himself as being out of
funds and reoriented the paymaster to take
Ills word for $ . ° > OU. The officer smiled , but
made no reply , nnd continued to look fixedly
at the pot.
Then the excited monarch offered to put up
the island of Manono , ono of the finest In the
Samoan group , against the $500. Tlio pay
master consented and a transfer deed of the
property , duly signed , attested by the trader ,
who was a notary public , and witnessed hy
the other two officers , was put in the pot.
Then the king "called" the paymaster.
Till : I'AYMASTI-.It'S WINNING HAND.
The moment of supreme excitement ar
rived. Slowly the paymaster lulu down four
aces and a live spot.
With a look of horror and n Samoan wail ol
despair his majesty exposed to view three
kings , an eight spot nnd a deuce. Then he
fell oft his chair in a faint , the excitement
having been too much for his nerves. At <
tcndants wcro summoned aucl ho was re
moved to his own house ,
The paymaster shoved his money Into-
sack nnd placed it in the trader's ofllco safe ,
The dei'd for the island ho put in an insldi
pocket , nnd with his brother oftlcers ho wenl
to one of the hotels and passed the nlylr
there. .
By 0 o'clock of the following morning tin
details of the bier poker irnnio were known t <
'
every ono in Apia , Tho'Ocrman and Kngllsl
consuls sent olllclal communications to tin
American consul protesting in the most cm
phatio terms ngulnst the action of thokingli
disposing of the Island of Mnnono to ni
American or any ono rise , and warning th (
consul that , unless the paymaster returnee
the deed for the island to tlio king nt once
they would Immediately direct the attentloi
of their respective governments'to the case

Hero was a pretty state of affairs. The of
fleer had no doubt won the island fairly nm
the king's action was binding , but in the ten
slon in which Samoan affairs wro nt tint
tlrao the German and English government
would only too willingly hnvo taken ad
vantage of the circumstances as an oxcus <
for international complications , ending ulll
rnately In a disastrous way to American In
tores ts.
The facts wore fully explained to the pay
master , nnd on the promise of Mulletoa tha
ho would give tlioolllcer a number of HP
mats and other Samoan articles of value , th
deed -was returned to the king nnd destroyed
Hy mutual consent of the consuls and other
the affair was hushed tip in every way nm
never referred to , nnd was thus allowed t
dto out ,
Mallctoa took nn oath that ho would novo
again play nokor , and ho adhered to his rose
lutlons. His faith in the power of kings ha
been strongly shaken , lie boldly declare
Ills belief that some day his sportive royo
brother , Kalakaun , will losoom , > of the Sand

town an1 take In a show that had como
ot'long. A brisk wind was blowing ,
straight from the north , an' ' the town
was only sixty miles south of us.
"Tho boys stretched tholi- faces inter
silly sort o'grins , an' ' muttered suthin'
'bout iirgcots an' Vnno 'sylums , an' '
moped oil' inter the shadoof a cornstalk.
" 'Bout 10 o'clock wo shouldered
pltchlorks itn' inarched tor tho. north

" 'Now boys , ' said I , 'not ono o' yo
will taste a bit o' grub till ov'ry straw
o' this hay is in stack so git roddy. to

"Tlio boys stared at mo with open
mouths like a set o' fools. Hut 1
drew my big pepper-box , an' went on
with iiiy orders. "Now .station yorsolvcs
'long this north line , ' said I , 'so's yo'll

"The boys took their places , nn' , at
sound o' that pistol shot , the hull north
side o' ' that hay rises at the same second ,
the wind kotched iu.ruT whirled it over ,
an' the next instant a big windrow of
buy , moru'n ' a mile long , was roll in
towards my south lino. The boys gave

their help wasn't needed.

Some years ngo the government or
do red survey of certain military resor
vatlons In this territory for the purposi
of putting the lands on sale , Bays tin
Salt Lnko Tribune. The surveys wore
accordingly made of most of them am
properly ccrtllled up to the general Inm
olllco at Washington.
None of thorn have boon reported bacl
to the United States laud ofllco in thi
city no nn done fhcro knows when the
various pieces o red tnpo will got un-
tnngledonough to lot the general pub
lic know anything of the work which
1ms boon turned into that ofllco for ap
proval and the placing of the lands on
snlo or entry. It was flvo or six years
ngo that contracts for surveying wcro
let on sotno of those. The surveys show
the following , us learned from the But1-
voyor general's olllco in this city :
llush Lake reservation has Hl7l ! acres
good land , whllo there was loft as water
of the lake 1,7-15 acres. Since this
survey was closed nnd filed with
the land olllco Juno 21,1880 , Hush lake
wont entirely dry , but Is liable to 1111
iigiilti.
The survey o' ' Fort Crlttondon ( Camp
Floyd ) was llled December ( J , 1800 , with
a provision clause to not receive tilings
on its lands until orders from the gen
eral land olllco. There is in that re
servation 171,011 08-100 acres.
Returns hnvo not vol boon made on
Fort Cameron , nonrUoavor Cltynnd the
amount of land in that reservation is
nut known.
Fort Thornburgh military and Fort
Thornburgh wood and timber reserva
tions surveys 1mvo not yet boon returned ,
but it Is known that these will approxi
mate : Fort Thornburgh military 10fi75
acres ; Fort Thornlmrgh wood and tim
ber ll,88.r acres.
All of these reservations are being
treated similarly to the Indian reserva
tion of Ross Fork , whore the past four
years wo have hoard so much about the
increase to bo made to 1'ocatollo by
lands purchased of the Indians. If the
Indians up there have any cause for
going on the warpath it is'bcciuisc the
government has been keeping them out
of the money so long , which they wore
to receive from the sale of town lots
which are of no earthly account to the
Indians except to gcop the whites from
getting the land. The people at Pocn-
lollo are tired out In trying to got that
hind , and no ono knows when the lots
will bo sold. The old military reserva
tions of Utah may remain for years in
the condition they are unless interested
persons hurry up the departments at
Washington.
There Is nn ann cr of a cold resulting in
pneumonia when Chamberlain's Couph Hem-
cdy is used ns directed "for a severe cold. "
It olTccttuilly counteracts and arrests any
tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia.

cases during tlio epidemic of Influenza last

It's the only way to use some
things , but it's a bad condition
for a-man or woman. It means
disease. Take Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
That menns health. It invig
orates the liver and kidneys ,
purifies the blood and cleanses
and renews the whole system.
For all scrofulous humors and
blood-taints , and even con
sumption ( or lung-scrofula ) , if
taken in time , it's ' a positive
remedy. It's a guaranteed one.
In all diseases of the liver ,
blood and lungs , it's warranted
to benefit or cure , or the
money is refunded. No other
medicine of its class is sold ,
through druggists , on this pe
culiar plan. You can judge
why. You only pay for the
good you get.
