A Strange Story of a Young Wife's Infatuation. GEORGE WENT AFTER THE COWS. This Was Thirty-seven Years Ago and He Has Just Returned—Love Never Grows Old—Juvenile Elopers. Little Romances. A young lady, a lovely woman and a devoted wife, was a slave to the passion of music. She had a beautiful voice, was always singing on available occa- sions, and was greatly admired for her gift. The man in this case was a tenor. I never credited tenors with a heroic place in the tragedies of life, but in this instanee I suppose many men would liken him toa hero. A hero of their own cla: Under the mystic influence of a onate duet from one of the Ttalian operas one night the passions ot those two people m Had it not been for the music the danger was as far aw from tk y 18 1 am from her at this m went home trembling and shattered with the bur- den of hor own shume, and throwing clf on her knees before her husband him all. He--rare fellow that he was—forgave her. Hardly had the blessed words of for- giveness passad his lips, he had barely clasped herin the safety of his arms, when a strange look came into hereyes. She commenced to murmer the melody of that fatal duet. Then came a loud, shrill laugh! She was a raving maniac. A Glasgow newspaper sees quite a romance in the coming marriage be- tween young Mr. Coats,a member of the great Baisiey Cotton Thread man- ufacturing company, and Miss Clark, a duughtar of one of the firm of equally famous Am an thread makers. For years a bit valry existed between the two houses, until the Scotch firm decided to send an ambassador to America to make friendly overtures. He was more than successful, and the two great houses will be united by mar- riage in June. In Punxsutawney, Pa., some thirty years ago, John R. Reed and Mrs. M. E. Thompson were engaged to married, but for some reason parted. Reed came west, traveled through California and Oregon, finally settled in Raveh, near here, and married. Miss Thompson married a Mr. Brewer. They heard nothing of each other for more than twenty-five years. Both bave grown-up children. Brewer died lust f year, Mrs, Reed alzo. Acei- dentally nd Mrs, Brewer learned the ned and orrespox revived the old love, A Lw days ago she ived at Spokane Falls and they were married. Doth are over fifty- seven years of uge. Thirty-seven years ago James Ver- million, of Shelbyville, [li., sent his son George'to the pasture for the cows. A few days since George returned to his father’s house ut Lower Hill, minus the cows, but possessed of title deeds to a large cattle ranch in Colorado, The son had been dead to Lis parents al tnese years, and though he went away a youth in his teens, he returned a gray ana grizzled man of mature years. The fatted calf was killed and there was freul re{oh:tng over the son that was 0t but is found. A Lynchburg, Pu., item tells of an attractive marriage at the fine resi- dence of the bride, near Bedford Springs, the contracting parties being Mrs. M. J. Eead and Colonel B. J. Jor- don. of Rockbridge county. The groom is seventy-five years of age,and the bride seventy years, both in splendid health and vigor, and of the best fami- lies of West Virginia. By the filing of a will in the probate court in Cincinnati the other day, a ro- mance in the lives.of two young per- sons was revealed. The will was that of Herman Rose, jr., whose name became familiar to the public a few yeavs ago from the fact that he and his father were tried for murder in the first degree. They were both acquitted after long and tedious trial. After his acquital young Rose's health failed. His mother died and his father got into trouble with another woman. He guarreled with his son about the property left by tbhe mother, and the son left home. He had been courting a Miss Rosa Jensen, of Covington, Kiy.. and when he had left his father’s house and was without & home, his sweetheart’s father invited him to live with them. He went there about a year ago, and was an invalid all the time until his death a few days ago. He was nursed through his sickness by nis betrothed. When his will was filed it revealed that he had bequeathed his estate, after the payment of all just debts, to Miss Jansen. His estate consists of an un- divided one-half interest in real estate at Sixth and Harriet streets, worth about 815,000, in which his father has a life interest. it About 3 o'clock the other afternoon a little boy four years old and a girl three years oid dehiberately ran away from fmme in New York city. A reporter found them on the corner of Thirteenth street and Sixth avenue, surrounded by acrowd of sympathizing ladies. The little man seemed to iike being inter- viewed and told the World reporter that he and *‘Mamie” loved aach other and bad run away from home and would never go back. He refused to tell where he lived. The reporter offered to take him home, whereupon he began to cry. being ably seconded by Mamie. A pound of candy induced them to dry their tears, and the blushing reporter, followed by the crowd, proceeded to the police station with the pair in his urms. Just then Mamie's mother appeared and the youthful lovers were hurried home- ward, Stephen Hopkins agreed two years ago to marry Emma Church, of Orton- ville, Minn,, but he dido’t.

C., eloped last April with William McCarthy and was mar- ried to him by a Baptist preachor. The girl was the pride of her family and was mourned by them as dead. The house was draped ir mounrning and her funeral services conducted. McCarthy consented a few days ago to join his wife’s church, and did so. bbi B. Rubon, of Charleston, officiated.
