LOST ON THE MAINE A Pathetic Termination of the Hopes of Married Lovers. Gunner Wil im A. Rieger Had Plan- med to Make a Happy Little Home in Washington. —— Particularly pathetic when the surround- rg circumstances are taken into consider- ation was the death of William A. Rieger, gunner’s mate, first class, on the battle ehip Maine. He was married to a winsome little woman, Daisy Rieger, of this city, who has been engaged in playing a sou- brette part in McFadden’s Row of Flats. His term of enlistment was to have ex- pired in August, and he and his wife had joyously made all their plans for having a little home in this city. Just before he met his untimely fate the brave and de- voted fellow wrote a letter to his little wife, which she did not receive until after she had heard the terrible news of being widowed... The letter. contained, among other tzings, the folowing lines: “You say you have sixteen more weeks to play; that will take you up to the mid- die of May, and my time will be out in August, and then we will be together for- ever more, never to be separated again. Dear, you say that when you think of how happy we will be you are afraid some- thing will happen. Now, dear, don't say that, for the good God is not going to al- low anything to happen, and that little dream of our lives of living in Washing- ton will be realized. Gee whiz! When I am a letter carrier in Washington, how cozy tnd comfortable that little home will 2. Mrs. Rieger aiso received a letter, of touching interest at this time, from’ her husband, dated February 11, in reference to the death of Ensign Breckinridge, who was washed overboard from the Cushing and drowned. It was as follows: “The Cusning, a torpedo boat, has just come in with orders for us, but we do not know what they are yet. “The Cushing is one of the smallest boats we have. She is hardly bigger than a steam lauch, vet they sent her down with orders from Key West, and she arrived here very much wrecked, her stanchions all bent, and she was wet all over. It was very rough outside, the waves some- limes twenty feet high. One of these waves washed Ensigi Breckinridge into the water. He was in one hour and twen- ty minutes before they could recover him, and at one time there were three men in the water. The ersign was not dead when taken on board, but he died at 5 o'clock, and now lies on our quarter deck, wrap- ped in the flag he served under. “I tell you, dear one, it is a very sad thing, and they say he has a sweetheart to whom he was scon to be married. Isn't it sad for her? Think how she must feel when she reads the papers tomorrow! I thank God you will not read it of me, for, little wife, I can imagine what the sweet- heart of Ensign Breckinridge will feel when she hears the news. God! it must be awful. “I am patiently waiting to see your dear little face, and I look at your picture every night before I turn in. It gives me the sort of cheerfulness I need. And, dear lit- tle girl, may we be together for a long time, for life, you know, is short at best, but we will be very happy in that little home. Good-bye, my darling, and God bless you.” Mrs. Rieger is row in Washington and has the sympathy of every one. a IT MADE HIM WEEP. “Take Her and May the Lord Have Mercy on Your Soul.” From the Cleveland Leader. Delancey Wallingford hesitated, with his and upon the knob of the door to the pri- vate office. He was about to ask Henry Faversham for the hand of his beautiful daughter. For a moment the young man was inclined to procrastinate, but he drew himseif together at last and walked in. The rich man received him kindly, and asked him to sit down. Before Wallingford had begun upon the subject that was near- est his heart, however, the voice of Mrs. Faversham was heard in the outer office, and her husband requested his visitor to step into an adjoining room until the lady had got through with him. “Look here!” said the mother of the only girl that Delancey Wallingford had ever loved, as she rushed into her husband's presence, “I want you to give an account of yourself! You didn’t get home until long after the hour I set for you last nighi, and you have a guilty look. Who's that young woman out there in the front office —that brazen thing with clothes that are too rich for any working girl to wear? Where do you intend to take your lunch to- day? I'm going to go along with you! Here, I need $100 for Christmas presents. Indorse this check. Let me see those let- ters in that pigeonhole! You're up_to scmething, Henry Faversham, and I'm going to find vut what it is! Discharge that girl out there today, and get a homely cne! I'll be down here again tomorrow to see whether you have obeyed my orders or not. When you get home tonight—-and see that you’re on time—l’ll have some more to say to you. Remember, I expect you to come to Murkle’s for your lunch. 1 haven't time to talk to you this morning. Give me those letters you have in your pocket!” ‘One of her lady friends was waiting for her outside, in the carriage, £0 she had to leave him long before she had finished her remarks. When Mr. Faversham was alone again Delancey Wallingford returned and sat down in front of the benevolent-looking old gentleman, who asked him to proceed with the business in hand. “Your daughter Gladys,” the young man said—“‘we love each other. 1 have come to ask you for her.” ~ There was deep pity in the look that Henry Faversham bestowed upon his vis- itor, and after a long silence he said: *ve always had a sort of liking for you. I've thought you were a pretty sensible sort of chap. You heard what was said in here a few moments ago, didn’t you?” Delancey confessed that he had heard it all. “Well, all right, then. My conscience is clear. Take her, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul! Her mother was sweet and timid once!” When they shook hands Delancey Wal- Mngford saw tears in the old man’s eyes. ———__+e2+__- Treed by Wild Dogs. From the Philadelphia Record. John Kyte, a huntsman of Vineland, had @ thrilling escape yesterday from a pack of wild dogs which infest the Maurice river swamp, three miles west of here. That a pack of wild dogs had caused apprehension among the farmers living along the out- skirts of the swamp has been known for some time. Kyte was prowling about in a rather aimless way, and noticed that his dog commenced suddenly to run about strangely, scenting the air as if in the proximity of big game. Presently the hound stopped, trembled, and, lowering its tail, ran to its master and whined. Suddenly there burst into view several large, shag- gy dogs of the Newfoundland species, fol- lowed by a. ace of the brutes, all snapping and snarlii Seized with fear, the nimrod @ropped his gun and clambered up a tree out of reach. He was none too soon, for the dogs circled about the tree trunk, growling savagely. Kyte, realizing that he was treed, began to speculate seriously upon the prospects of spending all night in his airy fort. He did not have to walt very long, however, for ly 3 peared. Kyte waited a little while, then cautiously descended and made a bee line for home.

A special to the New York Journal from Berlin says: Prince Otto von Bismarck, the man of blood and iron, whose mighty arm forged the German principalities into a great united empire, is now a helpless cripple. Today the sad news comes from Fried- richsrhue that until death brings relief the greatest living statesman is doomed to a life of dreary inactivity, his sole diversion censisting of being rolled around his gar- den in favorable weather in an invalid’s chair. ‘The prince has lost the use of his legs. Like a tiny infant, he cannot stand on his feet, and it reqvires the strong arms of loving friends and relatives to lift him from his chair onto his couch or But few even of his most intimate friends have been favored with an audience by Princ? Bismarck since the beginning of this year, the ever vigilant Dr. Schwen- inger insisting that his august patient can- not bear the least excitement, and that any reference to affairs of state or foreign politics exerts a baleful influence on his erves. *or. Schweninger is not as candid with newspaper men as usual, which is regarded as a bad omen by all who know him, and it is believed that the end of the great chancellor is near at hard. There have been from time to time many rumors re- garding the precarious health of the prince, but the persistent silence of the trusted family physician and the closest friends and relatives causes the deepest concern. ‘The man who has becn accustomed to a life of constant stir and excitement finds it a terrible affiiction to be lamed mentally and physically, ond he is therefore any- thing bet a meek patient. He insists on being taken cut of his chair every few moments and wants to walk around his rcom or garden. This request can only be granted when he will permit himself to be supported, almost carried, by two of his most stalwart servants. These men are kept all day in readiness to acquiesce to the whims of their restless master. There is only one man who is permitted to meet the prince, and that is Editor Hoff- menn of the Hamburger Nachrichten, the acknowledged Bismarckian organ. He fully understands the idiosyncracies of Bis- marck, and Dr. Schweninger does not fear that matters will be discussed which will arcuse the ire or passion of his patient. sree which vnfcrtunately cannot be nted.

Synopsis of a Most Remarkable Lec- ture Delivered Before the Ninth Medical Congress by Dr. A. L. A. Toboldt of the University of Penn- sylvania. The famous fountain of health at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which hag been the refuge of invalids for five centuries, is certainly well worthy of a careful study. My experience with this remedial agent has been such that I may truly say that no remedy. which I ever employed has given me. so much pleasure and profit as this, particular one. Selecting a number of chronic hypochondriacs, whose afflictions have baffled all my prev- ious efforts, as my subjects, I was truly astonished to note that, gl- though no rigid diet was prescribed, and only a limited amount of-exer- cise was indulged in, I obtained most remarkable results—the complexion, even after a week's use, began to clear up, the step became more firm and elastic, and what was more, the entire host of hypochondriacal come plaints seemed to vanish like mist. —= Her Babe First in ™ Mrs Kate Harriy, who lives at No. 926 G street southwest, fell from a wagon near 43 and G streets, about 10 o'clock last night, and was severely injured about the head. She had been visiting friends, and was on her way home at the time of the accident, seated on a chair in the rear end of the wagon. Her infant was in her armé at the time, and in her effort to save the child she fell on her head. She was taken to her home and was afterward removed to the Emergency Hosptial, where the scalp wound was dressed by the physicians, To- Gay the injured woman's condition is much better. —_———_—_ Lectare Postponement.
