* » IMAN WiS HIS DOUBLE SENTENCED TO THREE DAYS FOB BIGAMY. Got a Light Sentence Because He Had Suffered Quite Enough. At tlio Old Bailey in London, Eng^ land, Uiorp was revuali.d one of tlic most amazing .stories of a double life that has ever been told in or out of the pages of a novelâ€" a story BO amazing, indeed, that had a nov- flist dared to make it his theme it Would have been decried as incred- ible' and impossible. The story is that of a man in Jiiimble life, a carpenter, who lived Jor twenty-seven years in perfect umity with his wife and children, and who yet barely live minutes' walk »way had lived in equally unclouded hapi>iness for the latter five years of that period with another woman, who believed him to bo her husliand. In 1897 a man who described him- self as "Walter Harvey" was married At at the Wandsworth Registry Of- fice to Mary Dentry, a good-looking Ifirl. .some twelve years his junior. Harvey desired the marriage to bo ke|it secret. He wa.9 a widower, he «aid. with a grown-up son and daughter, and if it were known that he nmrried a second time they would lose certain valuable property which had been conditionally left to them. With some reluctance the youn-g wife consented to this concealment. Kho was also persuaded to agree to her husband taking up his jiermanent residence with his son and daughter, and only visiting her at the rooms lio hud taken in Hollo strci-t, Battcr- Boa, at brief intervals in the day time. SHADOW OF DISCOVERY. Three children were born of this strange union, and Harvey proved an alTwlionato father and a kind and gentle husband, taking the mother and children about, walking with theui in Bettersea Park, and wheel- ing their bab.v boy in a mail-cart. For live years, though the perpet- ual shadow of discovery must have hung lilce a black cloud over his life, tlioiv was almost perfect happiness in tlie little home in Hollo street. Then came a terrible development. Harvey was charged on Ids own con- fession with bigamy. As William Theophilus Harvey he had been mar- ried as far back as 175. The two women never met, the double life was su.spected by neither, and not a shadow of suspicion of this extraordinary deception had ever lighted upon either household. Mary Dentry, as "Mrs. Harvey," had oven visited the house in which the real wife and her son and daughter lived, but Harvey had tak- en care that they should be out of the way. Once while walking near the park Harvey and Mary Dentry almost came face to face with the man's son and his sweetheart. Harvey observ- c-d calmly that he did not want to speak to them just then, and turning down a side street an encounter was avoided. TH'IO DYING CHILD. Ne'er but ouce, except when he ftiet with an accident and had to go to a hospital, did he spend a night away from his real wife. He went to Hollo street to tea, and left at half-past ten. This custom was only broken when their little girl Was dying. Mary Dentry insisted on his .staying by the little one's bed- side. He had always given as a reason for leaving early, says the London Kvening News, that he must give the children a good example, and in this she cheerfully acquiesced. On this occasion, however, with the sha- dow of death in the house, Mary |)rot(-sted. His dnty was by his lit- tle child, she said. Harvey went outside to sauoke a pipe and think it over. He decided to stop. The child died at midnight. »nd llarvc.v remained with the sor- rowing mother until half-past two. Then he went to his own wife, but at ten o'clock in the morning he tras back at Hollo street again. Ho wore mourning for the little one. but even this circumstance aroused no .'Jiispicion in -his family. Another time Alarv met him walk- ing- with his real wife. She spoke to him and he sniilingl.v declared she Was mistaken as to his identity. When he visited her nn<l she spoke of the meeting, he created a "double" of himself, for whom, he said, he wa.s frcpicntly ndslaken. ALMOST HKVIOALKI). Harvey, whose wages only averag- ed a little over i;i! a week, rarely allowid Mary Dentry more than I2s., and ssnuetiuies not even that. Once he met with an accident, and for K>me weeks she had nothing at all. She got behind with the rent, and told him one night that she had been on the point of appl.ving to the Charit.v Organization Society for a.-*- Biatance. For the lirst time in their union ho was angrv and uneas.v. Dis- tovery at that time was perilousl.v near. Tleve was another occasion when (iwovery must have been very clo.sc. Kn accident coni])olled Harvey to go Into a hospital. Mat.v Dentrv want- Kl to visit him there, hut he told )iei" visitor.s wei-e not allowed. She hi-ard however that u woman â€" doubt- loss his real wifeâ€" had been to sec kiui there, and was angrv.

One of her letters, which was signed, "Your loving wife," fell into his real wife's hands. Then Harvey confessed, and was glad, he said, that his duplicity had been discovered. "This has been a great weight on m.v mind," he added. "It has nearly driven me mad." He went straightway to the police station and gave himself up. "M.y conscience is ill at ease," he told the police inspector. He was given the opportunit.v of bail, but decJined to accept it. He pre- ferred to remain in prison. At the Old Baile.v the Recorder said Harvey had repentetl of the wrong he had done, and as he had already been in jail since .lul.v 2.3, he would only si-n fence him to three da.vs" im- prisonment. As a result Harve.v was discharged at the rising of the court. CHINA WATER PIPES. Advantages They Possess Over Stone and Iron. A china factory in Saxony is mak- ing water pipes for water works which, on account of the various ad- vantages they have over iron and stone lupcs, seem to be a promising article, although they are more ex- pensive than the latter. These pipes are ivcry thin and glazed, and are imbedded in iron pipes, the space be- tween the two substances being tilled up with cement. China being the lest resisting pipe material that we know of, every guaranty is given for an unlimited life of the liipes; more- over, the absorbing of iron in the water, which is verv frequent when iron pipes are used, is made alto- g'tler impossible. Furthermore, the iron pipes. by ha\ing iiarticles of iron absorbed by the water, will corrode in the course of time, forming hydrated oxides of iron, which will stop up the tubes and (inish b.v eating holes in the pipes. So far this drawback to iron water pipes has not been very fre- quontl.v noticed, but it is very like- ly that we will hear more frequent complaints about them when time draws on and the pipes now in u.se become oldei-. China pipes, with the average diameter of ordinary water pipes, will cost about 3,000 marks (S714) per mile: if produced in large quantities their price could probabl.v be leduccd a good deal. STRUCK THE ROOT ' OF HIS TROUBLE JAMES ATWELL CURED HIS KIDNEYS BY USING DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. And His Lumbago and Urinary- Troubles 'Vanished once and for allâ€" He Tells His Story. Campbcllford, Ont., Oct. li!.-- (Special).â€" That Urinary Troubles and Lumbago are the result of dis- ordered Kidneys has been pro\ed by James Atwell of this place. Ho had Lumbago and pains in the blaftder. and in passing his urine would hurt him so as to almost cause tears to come to his e.Ves. He cured his ICfilnei's by using l>odds Kidne.v I'ills and his pains of all kinds vanished. Sjeaking of his case, Mr. Atwell says: "1 think Dodd's Kidney Tills made a permanent cure in my case, but I will never be without them in the hou.se. I had Lumbago and Bladder Trouble for years. I tried other medicines and a bandage prescribed bv the doctor, hut 1 could get no le- Uef till 1 used Dodtl's Kidney I'ills and they cured me."
