POOLS' ON LOVERS' CHANCES. | Fickle sNanale Petticord Seta the ‘Whole Town By the Bars. SHE WON HIM WITH A CORPSE. A San Feancisco Girl's Unique De- vice — Whispered in the Bride- groom’s Kar-Widower Agninst Bachelor -~ Oats Her Only Companions, Little Romances, The villago of Winchester, W. been very much stirred Va., has up over the an- nouncement of the marriage of Miss Naonfe Petticord, an heircss. Dur ing a visit to Missouri last sum. mer she won the affections of G. A. Good- man, of Hamilton. After her return home she kopt up a correspondence with him, and their affoction for ench other soon grew into, love and from love into wn engagement Invitations for their marringe in Win- chostor were issued, und ' ono of them was sont to Thomns Juckson, of Clare county, who was also one of Miss Petticord’s suitors, at once sought an interview with Miss Petti- cord, und between sobs and toars, told how he loved her, wnd that her marriage to an- other would kill him. This softened her heart, and she then and there consented to cancol the cngagement with the Missouriun. She wrote him that sho had changed her she loyed anothier, Goodman, on receiving the notico, took the first train, arriving at Winchester more than a week ago. He, too, sought au interview with Miss Potticord, and she promised to be his partner. Thinking he had everything his own way, Goodman_Went 10 his hotel, but Juckson ‘called and made another more affecting appeal. avd hor mind was agnin changed. This was kept up for a week, first one and then the other being the victor. Pools were sold on the result, una nothing ©lso was talked of in Winchester. One Sun- day evening Goodmnan had an enzagoment to call, und, gewing tired of the fickicness of the womuan, concluded to take with him a minister aud a iicense and le the matter bayond recall, Imugine his chagrin to find that Juckson had calied half an hour before, armed with u license and minister, and when Goodmnun arrived ho found that Jackson had won the prize. The body of a young woman was_found floating inthe rippling water of the bay off the battery at San Francisco the other day. “The face was handsome and refined lookin A wealth of golden brown hair_fell in rin lets below her waist. ‘Ihe clothing on the body was good and of fine quality. Small high-heeled slippers of French glove kid and silk stockings covered the extremities, and on the smal, well-shaped hards was a pair of black kid'gloves. The body was taken o the morgue, und while there hundreds of men and womeu culled to seeit, but no ono identified jt. ‘The story was printed in the Evening World and uttracted widespr attention. Among the many who r it was Laura Wilder, who was ing with a friend pamed Linda Garis _in a quiev boarding house on East Twenty-seventh street. ‘The girls were young and hundsome, but while Miss Garis_was usually bright and vivacious, Miss Wilder seemed sad and despondent, us if she hud met with some great Sorrow. Gradually her story became known through the medium of Miss Garis. She hud been engaged to be married to a On receiving the announcement ho | oung man in South Easton, Pa., named red Bowman. He was of a very jealous disposition, She was very high tempered, and when he met her on the street in Easton one night talking to a male acquaintance, he wccused her of being false to him and spoke words that should nvever have been said. She replied spiritedly, and he went away, saying she would never sec him again. He disappeared, and alter waiting a_few days for him to return, she came to New York. Miss Garis, a friend of her childhood, and who was to_have been her bridesmaid, ac- eom|mn|ed her. Miss Wilder wus on_the e of desperation when she heard of the flml!l’lg of the unknown woman's body in the water, and her first thougnt was: *“Why should 1 not go and end my troubles as this oor creature has dona.” But, upon reflect- ng, another and a brighter idea came 10 her mind and she determined to act upon it. After consulting with Miss Garis Miss Wilder went to the morgue and asked Keeper kogarty to show her the body. He dia so, and then she coolly identified it as being the body of Laura Wilder, of South Easton, Pa. Questioned by Fogarty, she gave her name as Linda Goris, a cousin of Laura’s, und then went on to tell of *‘poor Laura's heavy heart since Fred Bowman deserted her.”” She refused to give ber address, but when oing away proniised to return nex duy with flatra’s paronts, whom sho said she would telegraph for. She returned to her boarding house, and then waited with Miss Garis to see how their ruse would result. It worked to perfection. Every newspaper published the fuct that the body had been identified as that of Laura Wilder, and the news was tel- egraphed far and wide. Fred Bowman saw, it in @ paper in ® western train' and then ~he realized what his foolish jealousy hud caused him. He immediately telegraphed money to Warden O'Rourke, of Bellevue Hospital, to bury the girl, and came in post-haste to at- tend the fuveral and take, as he thought, one last look at the fuce of the girl he loved 8o well. Oo his arrival at the morgue he was most ugreeably surprised to find, upon lookmng at the body, that it was not that of Miss \5{!\[8n He went away puzzled to know ‘who could have identified her as such, and for what reason. He had not gone many steps whep he heard a sweet voice suy softly: “Fred!” He wrned about, and there before him stood Laura. “My Laura,” he murmured fondly, and there they embraced, careless of everyone. She had been on the watch for him every day since she had made the false identifica- tion, and as she bad thought, her fover did come to sce if she had really pussed from his life forever, They went to Laura's boarding house and a quiet marriage followed. Mr. Bowman's money buried the dead woman’s body. She was interred in Ever- green cemetery, und perhaps some day her story may be mude kllnwn J. B. Huteherson, & popular Mobile & Ohio railroad freight conductor, of Jackson, Tenu., was engaged 10 warry Miss Bettio McDanici, of Dyer, Tenn., and went up to consummate the vows. A friend advised him not to marry sume any time inviting them in, When he reached the farm the bird had flown and was caged, Now comes Sunday, the great day of the struggle. The young widower was on hand. The prize was brought out and she was in- formed that he was now ready. She begged time. He told her, “No; now or never,’’ 80 far as he was concerned. The preacher asked them if they were likely to ‘‘reach a verdict.’ Her reply was “More time.” He told them he would be compelled to be traveling to reach his ap- pointmant, But as has been stated, the young widower remained un his knees and ept pleading, Finally she yielded and a courier was dispatched for the preacher, Wwho was gvertaken somo distance awa. thinking over what his text should be und such teyving circumstances. He was hurried back and the youung widower eaptured the prize Ina moment the news flashed over the settlement and the excitement reached fover heat. At one time thero seemed to ve trouble brewing among tho friends of the two rivals. As aresult the following mar- riage notice is printed : Mllfl'lm‘AAl the residence of the bride's father, Nathan V.

A hermit has just heen discovered living on the banks of the Raritan river only a few miles from New Brunswick. The hermit is & woman over eighty old and liv alone with an old servan secluded ma sion in the woods. She is re very weaithy, and althongh rooms in the house are never used they are handsomely furmished. ‘Che hermit keeps to her room, and has mot looked on a human | face but that of L for thirty-two years.

Her jewels ave kept in an iron-bound box in her room. Her estate is large and is looked ufter by a prominent lawyer, who transacts all business through the servant. e plice is thought to be haunted by the ignorant who shua it. Thero are people who say that they have scen the old servunt digging in the woods by the light of a lantern, and this fact they think has given rise to the ghost stories. A largo amount of money and valuables is said to be buried in the woods surrounding the house. The hermit's name is Herritt. A sensational case was tried in Justice Pat- rick's court, in Tacoma, the other night, two Italians, Martin Petreck and Santos Cordova, being_principals. Cordova was the self-as sumed guardian of a pretty, ian girl. He clothed and_educated intended some day te make her his wife. About April 1 Petreck appeared upon the sceno an1 also fell in love with toe maiden, wand proposed marriage, but the young lady told him that Santos had a tien on ber affec- tions. Petreck asked Santos what he would take for his chunces. Ho set the price at $150, and @ burgain was made. Pet- reck paid Cordova $50 in cash and gave him a note for $160 payable in two years, for which consideration Cordova gave up all claim to the maiden. Petreck was not as happy as ho exvected to be, ‘The maiden did not lavish upon bim the same affcction that she had shown Cordova. He gottired of the bargain and wanted 70 trade back, He finally secured the note for 8100, but Cordo- va was obstinate usto tho $50 aud he was sued. ‘The court decided that an illegal con- tract had bean made, the terms of which could not be enforced. Cordova won the suit and the plaintiff had to pay the costs. The maiden thinks Petreck had a mercenary motive in the affection and still clings to Cordova, her first love. Crampel, one of De Bruzza’s assistants in the French Congo territory, hus just sur- prised all his friends by bringing to France & young black- woman'who was presented to him as & wife during his recent explorations east of the Ogowe river. She is & youug savago of rather pleasing features and graceful form and carriage, who still feels decidedly queer in dressand regards with open-mouthed astonishment about every- thing she sees. When Mr. Grenfel married a native of Africa a while ago his choice wus acoast girl who had been nurtured for years at a mission station, and who was a civilized and christian young person. But the dusky flower that. Crampel has brougit , home with him was plucked from the depths of savage Africa. Neither she nor any of her people had ever secn a white man be- fore. Crampel startea eleven mouths ago with thirty carriers to make a journey through the unknown regious northeastof the Ogowe. After weeks of traveliug he reached a great Torest region directly east of the district e plored by Du Chailla, where no white man had ever been before. This is the country of the M'fangs, whoso language differed so greally from any with which the explorer was acquainted that he had the greatest dif- ficulty in com:municating with the natives, The M'fangs, however, gave Crampel u hos- pitable reception, aud he spent several weeks with them. away one of the chiefs came to him leading a very dark and nearly nude belle of the trive. * He told the white man that he iiked him, and as a mark of his esteem he wished to present, him with one of his own daughters. He suid she was the daughter of & chief, and must not be made & slave, but if the white man would take her for his wife he might have her. Offars of this sort are often made to African explorers, and_they usually de- cline with thanks the delicate provosal. Crampel, however. said he would take the girl as his wife, and that young person, notn- ing loth, set out with the explorer for the sea, and 'has probably bid a tast farewell to her uative forests. Iu is not known whother Crampel’s choice s approved by his relations, but he seems to be satistied, and of course he will take tho girl back to Africa with him when he returns. Among the interesting discoveries made by Crampel is that of a large dwarf tribe, who are doubtless identi- cal with or aliied ' to the O Bongo dwarf dis- covered by Du Chaillu.

One of these gentlemen was a young wid- ower and the other & handsome young fellow of about twenty three summers, It is said the old folks were vather inclined to the nruru widower, and the young lady pre- ¥a the young man, and so the fight weunt bravely on until the tommunity for a mile or two around took sides with the bo; X week pools were sold on the boys. wldnvur stock would be way up yomlur .‘ haps io less than & day thy young man uook would run up.

A certain woman, says a writer in the Atlanta Constitution, had a large family and little means, but, being pos- sessed of untiring energy and great am- bition, she managed to make her means go fare She toiled early and late that her house might be spotlessly clean, her children weil dressed and her table spread with good things. Bnt it came to pass at length she no- ticed she was growing blind. She could work as well as ever, but she of- ten heard friends speak of seeing things which she could notsee at all, and many things which had been bright to her began now to grow dim. And her husband, when he asked her to walk with him into untried paths, noticed that she often stumbled and seemed not to sce her way. Ana he saw that she was going blind, and it grieved him, and he said: *Mary, you are going blind. Can you not spare your eyes in some way, and care for them that they grow strong again? Take less care in the houschold and more of your sight. T entreat you.” But she answered him indignantly: “What, take time from m hmh)mld { and my children for so selfish a purpose! Never! I will do my duty, and if Tum blind—I am blind.’ And he sorrowed much, and re- doubled his efforts 1o make money, that she might have time to save her sight. But as her means increased so also in- creased her ambition and her pride. Her household achievements were known throughout the land. Forty- seven different kinds of cake did she make and thirty-nine varicties of pie, and her house was filled with beautiful embroideries and fine needle work done with her own hands. But her hlindness increased, and in the untried paths her husband walked alone. And her children grew. And by and by came one of them to her and said: “Mother, the way before my feet is dark. Icannot ses. Come l.lmu with me andshow me to the light,” And in sorrow the mother ‘I cannot come, my blind.” And another came and fother, behold for me a new heaven and a new earth; for the things of my childhood seem to have passed away, and in their stead are all things new---filled with wonders to be explained, and mary things that T would understand. Come, teach me how I may learn of them.” And with deepened sadness the moth- er answered him, too: ‘I cannot come, my child, for I am blind.”” Then the third come and said: *“Moth- er, scel a great mountain is here. I long for the wonderful view I could gain from its summit. Lead me, I be- seech you, to the top, lest I fail to find the way. And him she answered as she had an- swered the others. So her childern went from her, and behold, soon there came to iie between her and them adistance like a great gult, bridged only by their love und hers But save in the flashes of sight which answered, child, for I am came to her at times, she knew it not for she was blind. And another women had also small means and a large family. She, too, toiled early and late that they micht be well fed and glothed. But when to her came the knowledge come to her that shmdwns threatened with blindness, she said: “This thing shall not bc. For my husband’s sake, and for my children’s sake, I must save my sight. So she set apart each day some time when she could care for her eyes,and do those things necessary t0 prevent blindness. Aad with this care her eyes grew strong and her sight clear, oven clearer than in her youth. And it was §0 that when she Wwaiked with her hus- band in an untried path, it was she who was his guide and helped him on. But it happened by this means her table was not filled with dainties, but only-with plain substantial food and her children went often, day after day in clean gingham gowns. And her children grew. And by and by came one of them to her side and said: ‘‘Mother, the way is dark, show me how I shall walk in it.” Ana her clear sight showed herin the darkness n light, and she said: ““Walk on, my son, 1 will direet you.” And she directed him until he, too, saw the light, and was gla And when another came and told her of the wonders which heaven and earth presented to him how to interpret mir- acles and understand the marvels. And for another she pointed out the path up the rugged mountain side and stood with him at the top looking out on the beauties which lay before them. So it was that ever she walked with her husband and children, directing and guiding them. And she was to them a light in dark places. And one of these women was foolish and the other w.
