THE DATLY BEE--OMAHA 'FDNE DA‘Z DECEMBER 13 STRENGTH to vigorously push a business, strength to study a profession, strength to regulate a household, strength to do a day's labor with- out physical pain. All this repre- sents what is wanted, in the often heard expression, "Oh! I wish i had the strength!” If you are broken down, have not energy, or feel as if life was hardly worth liv- ing, you can be relieved and re- stored to robust health and strength by taking BROWN'S IRON BIT- TERS, which is a true tonic—a medicine universally recommended for all wasting diseases. o1 N, Fremont St., Baltimore During the war 1 was in- jured in the stomach by a piece of a shell, and have suffered fromiteversince.

Letter to Philadelphia Press, T'he other day while sitting in front of the Neil house, the principal hos teley of Ohio'a capital city, I was led to think, while looking at the passers. by, how many strange family his- tories there are in Columbus, It would require a volume to record the stories of skeletons in the closets of unn{‘ a leading family in the city, I was brought to thia reflection by eoe- ing Dick Nevin, the roue, paes by In former days he revelled in wealth, and was one of the Important men of Ohjo, He was a politician and the public printer for many years, If there ever was a man who broke down all tho sacred bulwarks of the home it was Dick Nevin, He sowed the wind for many years, and {s now reaping the whirlwind, He has lost all his wealth, and at present barely obtains a living as passenger agent of a little raflroad over at Dayton, He was Silotaers for ensy niling, style Toe, surpas 4 lmihl' .

Her sister head of a highly intellectual family and an iron-master of some preten- sions, Young Dennison was greatly ploased with Miss Haldeman, and she very soon fell in love with her hand. some suitor, They were finally mar- ried at Harrisbarg with much colat, and when they joined hands at the altar they made a very striking per- sonal appearance. Everyone pre- dloted a happy future for the pair. 8he was so much in love with him and he seemod so fond of her that everyone sald: ‘She can save Neil Dennison from his evil ways, {f no one elso can.’ MRB, DENNIRON ON THE STAGE. A few dags after his marrisge Neil Dennison brought his school-girl wife to Columbus, She was so beantiful and so charming in manners thnt she at once became the moet favored guest in the best society of our city. By common consent sho reigned as a aueen in our social circles, Her society was sought by men and women alike, and she was much flattered that it is strange her head was not turned by this universal adulation, Fora time she had great influence over her husband, and seemed to have almost entirely charmed him from his evil ways, She was a most devoted wife and mother and clung to her husband with an absorbivg dotermination to make him the man he might be through his utusual ad. vantages of birth, education and connections. She eeemcd for a time to have succeeded, and so well did he advance that he was nominated and elected to the city council. His wife cherished and aided his ambitions in every way in her power, and when his term of councilman had expired the democrats nominated him for mayor of Columbus, with almost a cer- tainty of his election. The excite- ment of politics, however, scemed to be too much for him, and he began to drink. After he took t fiquor he seemed to lose all moral responsibility, and was soon an assoclate of the low- ost classes in the town, Yet his wife marrled & prince—a German, I be- lieve, A little insignificant-looking, dark-oomplexioned Dutohman, that almost m{ American girl having good sonse would not_have married for any oconsideration, But Mrs, Farsons got & manis, while travelling in Europe, to have her daughter marry a titled person, This German had a title, but nothing else, and he finally consented to marry the girl if her wealthy par- onts would mako a suitable marriage sottlement upon the lady he was to . This was agreed to by the aspir- ing mother, and the family came home to prepars for the nuptials. Parsons intended to make occasion and ample prepar: made for the event. ‘‘A short time before the marriage waa to take place the prince arrived, and at onoe proceeded to the business of his thirfty wooing. Old Mr, Par- sons did not take kindly to his high- ness, and refused to settlo more than £60,000 on the daughter who was to wed him, The prince demanded $100,000, and there was, consequently, quite a hitoh, The girl’s father would give no more, nnd the prince was ob- durate in his refusal to accept less. In thia dilemma Mrs, Parsoos produced the additional $50,000 from her own reruonnl estate, and the girl, a fine- ooklnq‘ splendid woman, led the prinoe her parents had bought for her to the altar.” *‘Where are they now?” ‘I do not know, nor does any one here seem to have the knowiedge. Naturally the marriage was not a kappy one. The great, large house with extensive grounds attached, that stands at the head of Town street, Is the home of the Parsons family,” contfnued the speaker. “They travel o great deal in Europe,” KATE CHASE SPRAGUR'S EARLY HOME, The peculiarly shapad dwelling that you sce on the corner a cquare or two beyond was the home of Salmon P, COhase when he was govercor and Uunited States senator, It was there that his famous daughter Kate began her checkercd lito. She was the cen- tral figure of that household for many yeare, and the leader of Columbus socloty when it was composed of many notable people, How wmany in- teresting utorles could be told of those days conocerning people who have rotired from the stage of active lifo. While this gentleman was narrating tho sirange historles ot many people who had yoars ago made up, and some of whom yet compose the ieldluu 80+ cinty of Columbus, a little lady passed leading u ohild five or slx years of age. She was plainly but very neatly drossed, and-besides being strikingly bewutiful, there was an unmistakable air of refinement about her, both in spparel and manner. She was too amall to be very fine looking, but her regular features, beautiful eyes and wealth of light brown hair added to perfoct taste of drees, casy ocarrlage, | KIVCE O I K| RTINS Oroousos.

His boy-. hood was spent iu the best of echools, and his youth among men in bigh public positions, for his father was o osbinet officor after he was governor of Ohio. While yet iu his teens Neil was wade an oftiver in the reguler army, and grew from & good-looklog boyto be an exceedingly handsome wan, He led a very fast life in the army avd finally lost his position be cauge ot drink snd dissolute eompan iouship. Soon afier he left the army his father took him in hand, brought him to Columbus and tried to reform him. About that time he met that little woman who had just passod us. She was theu a school- girl, liviog upon the banks of the Susquehavns, near Harrisburg, Pa Mary Haldeman was, 1 bolieve, her Parcerly Glab & Jacoba) LD RTAKER wame. Hor father was the Mr. Hald( insylvania aftairs, He was at the olung to him with unquestioning fidel- ity, hoping that his election would bring him the requisite good sense to accomplish his rerormation. ‘‘Without question she furnished him with money out of the few thou- sands she had left from her father's entate, aud did everything that a de. voted wife could do to further his ad- vancement. Every dollar of her per. sonal fortune she handed over to her dissolute busband to aid him in his canvass, His conduct was, however, 8¢ outragoous that he was overwhelm- ingly defeated, although the majority of his party was over 2,000. His de- fent seemed to mako him worse in- stead of better, and he went to the ecums as fast as @ man could, ‘‘About this time his father died, and froed from parental influenoce and advice Neil went at o break-neck pace from bad to worse. The devoted wife, who had given him her last dollar to help in his advaucement was soon neglocted, then shamefully ill-treated and finally abandoned, left without means to support herself and their four beautifal children. For a Jong ACLORIOUCROWN. - And One Whichll May Win and \r. A. Practical Discree to Thoee Ambitious tWear It. At the morning sece of the Luth- eran church at the sra house Sun- day, Dr. Stelling ce for his text Rev. 3:11, *Beholdcome quickly; hold that fast whichou hast, that no man take thy cro.” Tho following is wrlef report of the discourse: The past has gonas a flesting shadow. Some thinpave been im- pressed upon our mls so faintly that they are easil erased; some things have transpd which we would be glad to forr eraso from our memory and frc existence if possible; and there artill other 'n- atances in our past exjience that we would be glad to hai return with their blessed associane, and that those oases of happineon the broad desert of life’s truvels ight give to us still more courage 4 hope. We think of them often a happily in the hour of solitude, Oune of the events wsh has hap- pened to every true ristian, and which will never happ again, and to which he often desii to turn his thoughts, is his justiticon—when it could be said of him, ‘e has Jesus as his elder brother,” a1 before that soul was within the havr of peace, and free from the storr and wreck which is occasionc mo fre- quently by the angel f darkness, Satan, The conflict w all impor- tant to the person in cation, while the hosts of heaven & hell were apectatora to the scene cthe stage of human life, and each s being anx- ious for the honorof story. The justification of the Loram one of the things of the past, whi Is written on the memory in lette of gold. The result of this ictory gives that which is a token cvictory. It is a crown. Anothemember has been taken into the oer of which God s the head. There is, then, a crm not only promised to the Christi, but ownea by him. And if there anything of which he is truly conccus, it is this fact: his possession of grown. The sneer of Satan, the own of the world, the temptations che angels of darkness, may try to use hin to belleve otherwise, bu he says “I know that my Redeemeliveth.” Christ is exceedinglywnxious that that person be assured « His author- ity for expecting it. As the different undenkings in life are caused toba successfund eminent- ly succestfal, so religioris caused to time she knew nothing of his where- abouts, and there was a perfect storm of indignation in the community ronsed by his desertion of his wife and children.” *‘Doés she reside here now!"” ‘‘Yes. Bhe livesina little house up street, that her husband's mother bas finally consented to let her have rent free, This, however, is the full oxtent of their assistance, and some time sinco she was forced to go out and try to earn bread for herself and children. Sheisa very fine ringer, and she joined the chorus of an opera company to try and fit herself for some position where she could earn enough to support herself and chil- dren, She has just returned home, and expects in a few days to obtain a position where her voice will provide a livelihood for hersolt and her little oner, She has olung to her children with surpassing love and tenderness, seeming willing to make any sacrifices for them. I hozard nothing in saying that no woman in this land can tell from personal experience a sadder story of wrong than that little lady whom Neil Denntson brought here a, fow years ago in the bloom and hope of her joyous youth,” “*What has become of him?"’ “He is living a wild, disstpated, recklees life gomewhere in Colorado. He perhaps wont live long unless he mends his ways, and it would be a God's blessing to the family he has so abueed if he were to die. It would rid them of a worthless husband and father who will always be a disgrace to them as long as he lives,” “Why don't she get a divorce from him?" ‘‘Her nearest friends say that she still clings to the hope that he may yet reform and return; that she oannot bear the thought of dragging her fam- ily skeleton before the public on ac- count of the four beaatiful children left under her protection, She shuns publicity and seeks to shicld her re- creant husband to the extent of her power. She left Mr. Ford's opera company as much because her his- tory hm{ become known to the public as because she could not esrn enough to support her tamily properly.

Some say there is much du¢ to our natural temperaments, and rhile there may be much truth in this, is there also not a great differmce caused by the degree of our devoion, The cause of wering this crown is holding to the truts and promises of God, and the causiof not obtaing this crown is disregaring thess truths, The departure to ths told resignation of the clalms and promises of this loving heayenly Faber is step by step, until the cord whoh bdinds them is drawn to its gregest tension and broken. Though ma is not infallible, still when the claim of his religion is greater than any otler ¢laim, and the work for it more saisfastory than for the pleasures and e joyments of life, we would choose such aperson as the owner of a crown, catier than one whose religious attnctiyns have par- tially ceased and wlen pleasare and mirth are but the zephyra of earth, to waft him away from lis Father.
