LEAVITT ANNOVNCED i-r' ' K ffl Miss Rath Bryan': nounced. ement to Wm. H. Leavitt has been formally FINDS AND KILL3 TARANTULA. Venomous Insect Had Terrorized Fam­ ily for Six Months. An ugly, venomous tarantula from the tropics was dispatched at the home of William Zink, in Gloucester City, after it had terrorized the family for six months, says a Philadelphia dispatch. Zink was a former fruit dealer, and one day half a year ago, while he was handling a bunch of bananas, the huge spider hopped out and stretched itself. Zink and mem­ bers of his family searched for the in­ sect for some time, without avail, and then concluded that it had escaped. Not long after, however, the tarantula was discovered in the house, and again chase was given it, but once more it escaped by hiding. At Intervals ever since the taran­ tula had been seen at various places through the dwelling, but in every in­ stance it managed to elude its pur­ suers. It soon got to be a reign of ter­ ror in the house, and the inmates shivered at tne slightest sound. Just as he and his wife were aris­ ing this morning Zink once more caught sight of the tarantula as it clung to a picture frame in his bed­ room. "Ha!" cried Zink. "I have you at last," and he leaped wildly toward the ceiling. The huge insect dropped behind the picture frame and mysteriously dis­ appeared. Sure that he was on the trail, Zink determined to rid the house of the creature, and continued the search. Finally, after two hours of unceasing scrutiny, he came upon the tarantula crouched in a crevice in the wall, where it may have hidden all these months. After a terrible battle Zink killed it and proudly exhibits the hairy body at his home. It measure3 over five inches across its legs. CLAIRVOYANTS IN A TRUST. Seers to Combine to Investigate 8toek Market. The clairvoyants of New York have formed a trust, or what serves the purpose of such an organization, even if It does not deserve to be called by that name. Unlike the Chinese laun­ dry trust, its object is not to fix prices. The trust of the seers has another purpose. All of the members are noti­ fied by the head officer that certain stocks are to be recommended to clients seeking enlightenment as to the best means of investing their money. Sometimes Beveral companies are on the list. Dally reports are made by the presi­ dent to the members as to what the nature of their advice should be. Of course, this combination does not work only for the benefit of the companies. The clairvoyants get their rakeoff. But, naturally, they do not profit so much as the companies, one of which made $60,000 last year through this branch of its business. Is Opposed to Consolidation. Rev. Dr. David O. Downey of Brook­ lyn Is leading the "New York confer­ ence of the Methodist Episcopal church in a fight against the proposed consolidation of the Methodist book concerns :n thio country. The p'an cor templates t combine of the sev­ eral publishing houses, the capital ptock to be from $15,000,000 to $20,- 000,000, cr.d the establishment to be located at some point in the middle west. Dr. Downey thinks this savors too much of trust methods and evi­ dences that the interests of the church are becoming more material than spir­ itual. He declares that "against this tone of materialism I wish to enter an emphatic protest." Plans Cathedral for Denver. Undaunted by the difiiculty which Bishop Potter of New Y6?k is having In getting money to carry on con­ struction of the great catnedral there, Bishop Olmsted of the Colorado Epis­ copal diocese is planning a similarly notable structure in Denver. It will be begun in November next and his plan is that only a small portion that can be used be now erected and ad­ ditions made in subsequent years. His idea is similar to that of Bishop Pot­ ter and Bishop Doans of Albany to erect a building which it may take 150 years to complete, not to be a parish church, but a center of congregation for the whole diocese. RUTH BRYAN TO WED SOON. Engagement Ends Plans to Join Hull House Workers. Ruth Bryan, the eldest daughter of William Jennings Bryan, has aban­ doned her plan to join Miss Jane Addams in social settlement work at Hull House, Chicago, since she has decided to wed William H. Leavitt, an artist, whose home is in Newport, R. I. Announcement of her engagement was made at a house pifrty of the University of Nebraska chapter of the Delta Gamma sorority. The wedding will take place in October at the Bry­ an home in Lincoln,'Neb. Miss Bryan met Mr. Leavitt while the latter was in Lincpin several months ago, painting a fqll-sized like­ ness of Mr. Bryan. They were seen frequently driving in each other's com­ pany during Mr. Leavitt's stay in the Nebraska city. Miss Bryan Is tall, stately, and a fa­ vorite in her social circle. MRS. MAYBRICK'S VAST WEALTH. Imprisoned Woman the Heiress to Fortune of $7,000,000. According to the statement of her lawyer, Daniel S. Decker, Mrs. Flor­ ence Maybrick, when she comes out of prison in England, will be heir to about $7,000,000. While her mother, the Baroness de Roques, lives, Mrs. Maybrick will be dependent upon her bounty, as this estate must be held together, but on her death it will become the property, outright, of Mrs. Maybrick. "We have already recovered a good President's Cousin Wins Lawsuit. J. Emelin Roosevelt, cousin to the president, has gained a victory over the commissioners of highway of Oyster Bay, in their fight to compel him to do away with the pier erected for his own and the presidents ac­ commodation. The matter was de­ cided by Justiee Herrick, when he handed down a decision continuing the injunction restraining the high­ way commissioners from interfering with the dock. The decision will re­ main Jorpe until the case is reached oti the trial of the issue. Establishing Alaskan Missions. Bishop T. P. Rowe of the Episcopal church for the diocese of Alaska, is now on the Yukon river visiting and establishing new missions. The bish­ op will remain on Seward peninsula during the coming winter, traveling from place to place in a dog team. He will be accompanied during his long stay by Mr. Chlsholm, a divinity student. Nome will probably be the prelate's headquarters for , the next few months. hps noen*T criAYa&cK ' part of the lands in Virginia," said Mr. Decker, "because they were deeded away without proper authority. Darius Blake Holbrook, Mrs. Maybrick's grandfather, owned immense tracts there and in West Virginia and we have recently found that he also own­ ed valuable property in Fourteenth street, near Broadway, New York." W. K. Vanderbiit's Pun. There is a punster in the Vanderbllt family. A day or two ago William K., Jr., dashed out of the Grand Central station in New York, though a pouring rain, into an institution of which he is a director. "Great Jupiter Pluvius," he exclaimed, "this Is a deluge. Over there at the station even the locomo­ tives came in ringing wet." Position for Educated Negro. George W. Crawford, the negro who was graduated from Yale last June and won the Townsend oration prize, has been appointed a clerk in the probate court &t New Haven. Conn. Will Be Like Old Times. Judge South of Tacony, a suburb of Philadelphia, owns a handsome home, with large grounds. In one corner of the lawn he has had erected an exact duplicate of the log cabin in which he was born many years ago on the Ohio river about forty mile3 above Cincin­ nati. The coming winter he is going to give some old-fashioned entertain­ ments in the log house, with tne usual accompaniments of roasted apples and nuts, cider and genuine pioneer merry­ making. Legend Saya Bashi-Bazouk Drove Tut Adam and Evo "Present occurrences In Macedonia remind me of a story contained in a small volume published in Arabic," said Cope Whitehouse. ' "It concerns the Bashi-Bazouk. * "After Allah had ordered Adam and l£ve out of Eden he went back to Paradise. A short time afterward a Seraph, passing that way, saw them etill in the Garden. He came back to heaven and, having reported their dis­ obedience, was directed to return to tell them to leave at once. So he went. Thereupon Eve said: " 'We are going, but we have to pack ntf.' "A little later a Cherub had a simi­ lar experience and Allah told Gabriel to take the matter in hand. "Then Eve wept and said: " 'Can't you see we're going; we're getting ready as fast as we can. You have no right to . hurry a woman.' "So Gabriel reported the state of affairs to Allah, who sent for Bashi- Bazouk. Then the Bashi-Bazouk descended, and, entering Eden, said: " 'Adam, Eve, get' "And they got"--New York Times. "1 Found It So." MeCormick, 111., Sept. 28.--Miss Ethel Bradshaw of this place has writ­ ten a letter, which is remarkable for the character of the statements it contains. As her letter will be read with Interest, and probably with profit by many women, it has been thought advisable to publish it in %art. Among other things Miss Bradshaw says:-- "I had Kidney Trouble with the various unpleasant symptoms which always ̂ ome with that disease, and I have found a cure. I would strongly advise all who may be suffering with any form of Kidney Complaint to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which I have found to be entirely satisfac­ tory. "This remedy Is within the reach of all, and it is all that it is recom­ mended to be. I found it so, and there­ fore feel It my duty to tell others about it" Dr. Dunaway of Benton,. 111., uses Dodd's Kidney Pills in his regular practice, and says they are the best medicine for Kidney Troubles. He claims they will cure Diabetes in the last stages. Corroboration. Brasher wasn't exactly a misogyn­ ist but he was forever harping on the subject of women, and particular­ ly on their whims and foibles. He declared they did not seem to be guided by reason, and summed up their status by saying they were 'queer.' Meeting Parker the other day, he started off as usual on the caprices and frailties of the fair sex, and re­ marked incidentally: "Now, I haven't the least doubt Parker that when two women get to­ gether they talk about the most fool­ ish thing in the world." "I don't say that, Brasher," was the reply, "but here is what actual­ ly happened yesterday. I was riding down town behind two young women in one of the cross seats of the 'L,' when my ear caught your name. I couldn't help listening and, honest, Brasher, I heard them talking about you all the vway from Harlem to the City Hall!" Notable Russian Statesman. Prince Khilkoff, the Czar's minister of railroads, is perhaps the least Rus­ sian looking man in Russia. He is the greatest railway builder in the world, and during the eight years he has held his present position almost 13,000 miles have been constructed--more than one- third the railway mileage of the Rus­ sian empire. To him is due the Si­ berian railway construction and the fact that Russia is far more formid­ able in the far east than ever before. A privy councillor, a member of the ministry, and a strong man, Prince Khilkoff has great weight in the coun­ cils at St. Petersburg. To Teach Household Economy. On her wedding day the women of Roumania gave the crown princess a sum of money with which she was to buy a present. That was ten years ago and now the money thus received amounts to $60,000. With this sum the princess has just bought an estate at Jassy, where will be opened a school of household economy. Sanitarium for Consumptives.

Mrs. Tressie Nelson, 422 Brpad St., Nashville, Tenn., writes: V "As Peruaa has done me a world of szood, I feel la duty bouad to tell of It, la hopes that It may meet the eye of some woman who has suf­ fered as I have. " For five years / really did aot kaow what a perfectly well day was, and if / did not have headache, f bad backache or a pain some- where and really life was not worth the effort I made to keep going. "A good friend advised me to use Peruna and I was glad to try any­ thing, and I am very phased to say that six bottles made a new woman of me and I have no more pains and life looks bright agala."--Airs. Trestle ftclson. JOSEPHINE MORRIS, 236 Carroll St, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: " Peruna is a fine medicine to take any time of the year, but I have found it espec­ ially helpful to withstand the wear and tear of the hot weather. I have taken it now for two summers and feel that it has kept my system free from malaria, and also kept me from having that worn-out, dragged out look which so many women have. " I therefore have no hesitancy in saying that I think it is the finest tonic in the world."--Josephine Morris. Peruna is irequently used as a mitigation of the effects of hot weather. What a bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the skin healthy, Pernna makes the mucous mem­ branes clean and healthy. With the skin and mucous membranes in good working order, hot weather can be withstood with very little suffering. Frequent bathing with an occasional use of Peruna is sure to mitigate the terrors of hot weather. Many ladies have discovered that the depression of hot weather and the rigors they have been in the habit of at­ tributing to malaria, quickly disappear when they use Peruna. This is why Pe­ runa is so popular with them. Peruna provides clean mucous membranes, and the clean mucous membranes do the rest. If you do not derive prompt and satisfac­ tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state­ ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
