SEVEN TIMES A BRIDE.
Each Time Mary J. Dunloy Mar-
rios the Samo Man.
Instead of Prosecuting Her Tresent anil
Uft«*n Pant UuHlmml for Threaten-
1MB to Kill ller She Produces
a Marriage License.
Mrs. Mary J. Dunley and .Tamos S.
Bunley, of Chicago, six times divorced
and seven times married, were united
for the latest—and they say the last
—time by Justice Randall II. White
the other day. It was rather a sur-
prise to the groom, for he did not ex-
pect to be one of the chief parties to a
wedding when he came into court. In-
stead he expected to answer to charges
of assault and battery, and making
threats to kill. The charges had been
brought by Mrs. Dunley, but when she
had again secured James as a husband
she decided to forgive him and the pros-
ecution was dismissed.
Mrs. Dunley, says the Chicago Trib-
une, appeared before Justice White for
the lirst time December 20, when she
told the court of the brutal treatment
she had received from her divorced hus-
band. She owns and manages a coal
offlOe at No. 1718 Dearborn street, and
said that on the day before Dunley, her
divorced husband, had come to her of-
fice. He was drunk, she said, and had
attacked her and beaten her brutally.
Not satisfied with the effect of his
blows he left the house announcing
that he would be back later and kill
her. Mrs. Dunley after telling her
story secured warrants from Justice
White and had them served. Her ex-
husband was arrested, and after
spending the night in a police sta-
tion, was released on bonds. When
the case came
time.
Doth Mrs. Dunley and her belliger-
ent ex-husband were in court promptty
when the case was called. When the
justice peered over his glasses and asked
Mrs. Dunley to tell her tale of woe
she replied by pulling a marriage
license from her shopping bag and
asking the court to marry her to the
defendant.
Dunley hesitated, and it took several
queries from the court to secure an
answer from him. At last he said,
meditatively: “I guess it's just as
cheap to get married as it is to pay a
line.”
“You are willing to be married again
to this woman?” asked the justice.
“Well, yes, I guess so.”
The two then stood up before the
bench of the justice and, joining hands,
FELIX LIKES WATER.
A Philadelphia Pat Which Is Fund of
Swimming and Fishing.
There is in the Philadelphia zoo a
little house, near that occupied by the
reptiles, which is one of the most inter-
esting and yet less frequented, proba-
bly, of the buildings. Due of the euri-
ous animals in it is a cat. It doesn’t
seem to be a particularly wonderful
cat. but, according to the Press, it is.
Perhaps no animal is as much afraid of
water as a feline, unless it is a school-
boy. Yet this cat in the Zoo delights in
water. It can swim like a dog and dive
like a professional diver. If in its wild
state while it went swimming along a
stream it spied a fish darting along un-
derneath it, splash the cat would go
head lirst after the fleeing fish and soon
emerge with it in its mouth. Then it
would swim to the bank, climb up a
tree and make a cold lunch of the fish.

ing on these figures, Mr. Oliver says:
“The land in Oklahoma is largely
raw, and the price I place upon it is
extremely low. Settlers have hardly
begun to build elaborately, and the
majority of the pioneers brought with
them no personality worth mentioning
save their teams when they first came;
some came even teamless. The person-
ality valuation is, therefore, very low.
If you could have seen this barren
country, however, April 22, 1S89, then

“The estimates I have given you arc
for Oklahoma, excluding other portions
of the old Indian territory. There is
a large Afro-American population in
that portion of the territory, many
of them worth their hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The Creek and
Seminole nutions have more African
than Indian blood in their veins, and
Gov. Drown, of the Creeks, shows his
African more than his Indian blood.
He is a man of education ami wealth.

A Vurui* Tradition of tho flying Dutch-
man In Northern Scan.
The old Norsemen had a curious and
vague tradition of a phantom ship,
which they called Mannifual. The
French maritime chronicler Jal gives
an account of her; so. likewise, does
i Thorpe, in his work on “Northern My-
! thology.” She was so gigantic, says
Chambers’ Journal, that her masts
were taller than the highest moun-
tains. The captain rode about on
horseback delivering his orders. Sail-
! ors going aloft as boys came down re-
spectable, middle-aged men. and in tho
Mocks about her rigging were dining
halls where they sustained life dur-
ing their heavenward wandering.
When passing through tlu* Strait of
Dover on her way northward she stuck,
but the captain, with ready Invention,
ordered her sides to be liberally be-
smeared with soap, nnd she slipped
through, leaving the cliiTs of France
and Fngland white for ever after-
ward.
Down to within a century ago this
gigantic ship was known among En-
glish sailors by the name of tlu* Merry
Dun of Dover, hut she seems quite to
have disappeared from tlu* maritime*
lore *.f this -country. The seamen of
Normandy still believe in her exist-
ence, and cull her the Chussc Froude.
They say that she is bo immense that
it takes her seven years to tack. On
one occasion, in turning, her bowsprit
swept away a whole battalion of sol-
diers from the Dover cliffs, while her
stern boom was demolishing the forts
of Calais. When she rolls, whales aro

some of whom make themselves indis-

The Japanese living here arc very
American in their ways, and they
eagerly adopt American customs and
dress. This is particularly true of the
students, who dress with great elegance
and wish to appear as swell as the
swcllest of their American college asso-
ciates. Though so few in numbers,
go tic. They study all sorts of business
enterprises and search for ideas to take
back to their own country. In the
business lines in which they have al-
ready established themselves they have
cut into the trade of American mer-
chants. An illustration of this is the
importing of silk handkerchiefs. It
was not many years ago that most of
these handkerchiefs were made in this
eountrj'. Last year there were im-
ported from Japan 1,248,748 dozen silk
in her efforts, but succeeded in having j handkerchiefs, valued at $3,809,(140, and

The only hitch came when Justice
White asked Mrs. Dunley if she would
“love, honor and obey” when remated.
“Will you obey him?” asked the
justice.
There was delay for a few minutes.
Then Mrs. Dunley said, slowly: “Well,
yes; mebbe, sometimes.”
It was not very precise,but the court
anil Dunley were satisfied.
As soon as the ceremony was over
Mrs. Dunley had the charges against
her husband dismissed. Then they
started to leave the courtroom.
"Hold on, there,” called the clerk.
“You forgot to pay the judge for the
wedding.”
"That's so," said the bride. “James,
you pay him.”
"No, you pay him; you've got more
money than 1 have,” replied the groom.
There was a short wrangle and a
lively argument for a few minutes, anil
then Dunley slowly moved hack to tho
judge’s bench and paid the clerk *3.
The bridal couple then took a streetcar
for the home of the bride, N'o. 1713

Mr. Dunley is 43 years old, the bride
is 40. They were tirst married in Penn-
sylvania nearly twenty years ago.
They got along pretty well for some
time, until James, so Mrs. Dunley says,
took to drink. Then she left him and
secured a divorce. Shortly after they
met, made up, anil were again married.
After another family quarrel Mrs. Dun-
ley got divorce No. 3 and moved to
Ohio. There they were again married,
end there divorce N'o. 3 was obtained.
Another wedding was celebrated in

Chicago. A divorce was one of the first

The Afro-Americans have settled in
some parts almost to the exclusion of
the whites. Langston City was founded
by E. P. McCabe, who was once auditor
c*f Kansas, a man of groat resource and
energy. The streets, avenues and
boulevards of Langston City are named
in honor of prominent Afro-Americans.
It supports a weekly newspaper called
the Herald. Mr. McCabe projected an-
other town, but it has not prospered as
well as Langston City.
Most of the Afro-Americans in Okla-
homa went there from the southern
states, Tennessee furnishing a very
large number, and these are constantly
drawing others after them, as is natural
and usual in such cases, so that it ispos-
' sible that when the territory is a 1-
| mitted to the union it will have an
j Afro-American population of some
| 100,000. In several -instances when
i these men have been menaced by un-
friendly Indians and whites they have
shown that the courage and determina-
tion which carried them into the tor-
i ritory and enabled them to secure
i homes in the wilderness were sufficient
i to protect them and their property.
at present nearly all of these articles
come from Japan. The statistics of the
silk association show that lost year
there was imported from Japan 18,703
bales of raw silk, valued at $9,524,532, a
large proportion of which entered the
port of New York. In addition in the
same year there were imported from
Japan 128,900 pieces of silk goods,valued
at $4,074,903.
Most of the silk imported by the
Japanese is raw silk, on which there is
no duty. This comes in packages about
three feet long, two feet wide and a
j foot and a half thick, which are known
I as pickle bales. The bales are encased
I in a coarse kind of Chinese matting.
I They weigh 133)f pounds each. Raw
silk consists of the long silk threads
twisted into hanks similar to hanks of
yarn. The Japanese merchants, most
of whom do business in Greene, Mercer
and Howard streets, and in the whole-
sale section of Droadway, sell the raw
silk to the American manufacturers,
who wind it on spindles and dye it, and
then manufacture it in their mills,

The lawyers’ tout has become such a

deputy constable or any public officer,
or any detective officer, whether com-
missioned, without pay or otherwise,
to procure <*r solicit legal business for
any attorney at law under the expecta-
tion or promise of pay by such attor-
ney. Some of the lawyers believe that
tin* difficulties uf enforcing such a law
will almost nullify it. Louis P. Pa-
quet, the author of the bill, says: “It
was drafted at the request of a number
of prominent lawyers. Touting is prac-
tically a conspiracy between court offi-
cers and unscrupulous attorneys to
throw the practice at the recorder’s

pleasantnesses of late. Among a num-
ber of documents awaiting his signa
ture, which had been placed on his ta
ble, says Vanity Fair, he found a sen-
tence of death against the emperor oi
all thc Russias, to be carried out in
twenty-four hours. It was stamped by
the “Society for thc Liberation of thc
Russians,’’ and it was impossible to dis-
cover how it had found place on thc
czar’s table. A few days later tho czar
found a skull in one of tlie bedrooms,
on tiie frontal bone of which was writ-
ten “Alexander." Gen. Tschcrevin,
who is in charge of tho palaces, re-
all of the emperor’s
fill and grotesque
and animal pets. They are printed on
very soft pnper, the surface of which
feels to the lingers very much like the
soft fuzz inside a chestnut burr. Tho
covers are decorated with small illus-
trations, and the books are bound with
delicately colored ribbons. There arc
no American children’s books like
them.
The Japanese are now trying to form
an association which shall include all
classes of their people in this city and
Brooklyn. The idea is to have a club
house and courses of lectures on social
and domestic subjects, and in other
ways to carry out the main ideas of an
American club. They have now a very
small and select club, called the .Jap-
anese union, which is housed at 227
West Twenty-fifth street. About twen-
ty Japanese are members of the club.
The houso is fitted with a billiard ta-
ble and other features of a typical New
York club. Whenever the Japanese
in the city wish to give an official din-
ner they give it at this club house.
There they celebrate with a grand din-
ner yearly the emperor’s birthday, which
comes on November 3. This is thc only
holiday they celebrate in their adopted
country.
There arc only about twenty Japan-

of the rising generation.

Tlioy Light to Conquer.
An Anglicized Japanese rays of the
national air of Japan: "It Is indescrib-
able. I have heard nothing so much
like it as your 'Dead March in Saul’—
It Is thus sort—terrible nnd solemn.
