HE TOOK LOVE'S SACRAMENT. , Why a Brilliant Young Priest For- sook His Church, THEY FOUGHT FOR THE GIRL, Brawny Pennsylvanians Settle Their Cinimto a Maiden's Favor—Mar- ried the Younger Sister— Gave it Up and Died. Little Romances, News hay just been recetved here of the death in San Francisco of Mrs, Sarah Ginevra Lake, widow of the Rev, Henry Lake, the brilliant young Cath- olic priest, who, nearly seventeen years ago, forsook the church to marry the woman he loved, writes a New York correspondent of thé Chicago Times. Tha story of the romantic career of this couple was yestérday told to the Times correspondent by an intimate friend of theirs, Father Lake was the son of Henry Lake, the senior partner of the house of Lake & McCreery, leading dry goods men 1n New York fifteen years ago. He had been brought up in the Protes- tant faith, and at the age of fifteen enused much consternation in his fam- ily by the announcement that he had been converted to the Catholic faith. He was sent to St. John’s college, at Fordham, where he passed through the various grades until ready to enter the priesthood. To better prepare himself he determined to go to Rome, and there entered the American college, having as a brother student Rev. Dr. McGlynn. While in Rome he collected a rare Catholic library, said to be equaled in this .country only by that possessed by the Jesuit fathers of this city. For the first 8ix years of his priesthood be be- longed to the Paulist order, but severed his connection with it and became an assistant to Father Preston, now chan- cellor of the New York archdiocese, * himself a convert to catholicism. In the course of his study of elocution Lake met Miss Sara Ginevra Chafa, a girl* of ecighteen, who was studying under the same teacher. She was a < young poetess and public reader, who { made her debut us an actress under »Mrs. -Sheridan Shook in the Union ' “Sguare theatre. She and Lake fell in Lave, but for a long time kept their feel- ing concealed from each other. The struggie botween his duty to the church and the love for the girl was a very bit- ter one, but love naturally won, and Lake desected the church. They mar- ried secretly and lived in New York for a short time under the name of Ld- monds. Luke’s disappearance was vari- ously commented on by the papers, but none discovored that the young pricst \; was married. The few friends who were privy to the secret did not let it be known till *Mr. and Mvrs. Edmonds” had lelt the city. Whither the couple wandered was not known for several yenrs by the friends left behind, but in 1874 a letter was received fror a lady confidante in this city from San Fran- cisco telling of the happy life they were living, The next heard of them was by a tel- * egram received on Christmas day, 1875, from Santa Cruz, annouucing the death i/ of Father Lake, of consumption. Mrs, " Lake returned to San Francisco and ,-made a home for herself in a_guiet lit- tle house on Fifth street. Wnen her griel had somewhat subsided she wrote a letter to & friend,which was evidently antended as a defense ot herself and of Father Lake’s action. She says in it: “I have been blamed for induc- ing my hushand to break his vows and leave the church. The charge is false. ‘When he told me of hislove and we dis- - cussed the peculiarity of his position, I advised him to stay in the church. He studiea up the question of celobacy and this led him to investigate, and he con- cluded that the system had vo divine origin or authorization. Of course, loving him as I did, I was passive to his wishes. We secretly sailed for Califor- nia, reaching San Francisco November 6, 1874, In thehope of finding a more congenial climate for him we went to Santa Cruz and settled down for life. He started a newspaper. but had no heart for the struggle even in this tar- . off, favored and lovely land. But, nev- ertheless, we lived and loved until * death claimed him. HereI am alone, in this great city, thousands of miles from any of my friends, *‘I'have written to Mr. Lake’s friends in New York, but I do not know how they look upon me now that he is dead. Most of my own friends in New York . have ‘ignored me " entirely. And yet _, what great crime or shamelessact have Idone? 1 simgly obeyed one of the urest and noblest instincts that God as planted in ths human breast.’ Nothing more nad been heard of Mrs. Lake until her death, made known by ““letter a fow days ago. A desperate fist fight took place at a . secluded spet near No. 4 colliery, of the Delaware & Hudson coal company av Plymouth yesterday afternoon, says a - Wilkesbarre, Pa., special to the New York Sun, The principals were Elmer , Gross and Frank Anderson. For some ‘.time they have been rivals for the hand of the same girl, and asshe did not . show any marked preference, they de- cided to settle the matter them- + selves, They selected William O’Brien, of . Pl&mouth. as_ referee, J. R. Power acted as second for Gross, and Ed Heff- ‘ erman for Anderson. A twenty-four- foot ring was staked out, and the batule began at4 p. m.in the presence of about filty spectators. Both are sowerlul and vigorous men. "Gross stands near six feet high, and 'flqh. 185 pounds. His opponent was but little lesa, For the first four rounds Anderson seemed to have the best of it; He showed more skill and activity, #nd pressed Gross hard. In the third round he landed a terrific blow on Gross' eye that knocked him clean off his feet, and closed the eve. In the fifth round Anderson began to play out, while Gross, though badly punished, seemed as strong and fresh as at first, In the sixth and seventh rouuds their itions were reversed. Gross forced e fighting, and drove Anderson all around the ring, pouring in a torrent of sledge-hammer blows. Finally he got io a smashing blow on the jaw,laying open Anderson’s cheek, and’ knocking out soveral of his teeth. Anderson went down &s if he had been shot, and pould not stand up when time was ealled. The referee gave the fight to Gross, and Anderson in the presence of witnesses, renounced all claim to the anaiden for whose hand he had fough t, Milton Boswell, school-teacher twenty-seven years old, who had been courting & young iady of twenty-three, has been married to his sweetheart’s little sister,says a Washington dispatch 10 the New York World, About a year 0 ho fell in love with Miss Tennison, South asbington, and proposed last spring, The marriage ve taken place next January. <Boswell and Miss Tennison quarreled #bout this time, but it was thought the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER '24. 1889, matter was settled, as his visits became more and more frequent. There was, however, another attract- jonat the home of him, and that was the thirteen-year old sister Mabo Boswell often left his office in the afternoon when school had been dismissed and tod as escort to Miss Mabel, who was as deeply in love | with Boswell as he was with her, The elder sister never suspected that she was glowly but surely being ‘‘cut out.’, Boswell went to the home of the girl South Washington. Young Mabel was at the gate waiting for him. They rode 10 Anacosta in the. street cars, and going to the residence of John Poates, on Polk streot, they ate supper, and, Rev, George Bowmun was called in. As Boswell had the license and the required mumber of iwitnesses were present, the knot as tied, and th newly made Mr, und Mrs. Boswell went to the home of the bride’s parent. but Mr. Tennison declined to receive them, A young woman of Bukownia has had ‘a wonderfully romantic carcor.

Then her troubles begun. Her first fiance died suddenly from ace dent, the second was taken the army, likewise the third and fourth; the fifth and sixth were drowned; the seventh and eighth broke off on lenrn- ing of the smallness of her fortune: the ninth got drunk on his betrothal day and tried to beat the young woman, so she broke it off; the tenth seemed prom- ising in every way, but as the marriage was about to take place that he had a wife and children in Bessarabia.

One of us (or shall we take turns?) will be sure to have old Uncle Job foisted upon us; and if it wasu’t for those heavy mortgages Harry has to clear off in the spring, he would not mind, I know, one extra mouth to feed.” “And if Ihad an extra bed room to spare?”’ says Mrs. Dick, **And if I had an extra couple of ser- vants!” whines Mrs. Tom. “To be sure, if I could be oertain that he was a wealthy man it would make a vast dif- {erence; and for the children’s sake—" “What a sordid sister-in-law I have to be surel” laughs Mrs. Harry “Speaking of the children, Bel, how is Plunt’s love affair coming on?” *It isn’t *on’ at all Ruth; it's of—and forever, I hopel” *Bel Altick, what do you mean?” “I mean that hé will nevery marry that good for nothing Nan—"" **Mark my words, he will marcy her— and neither you nor Tom nor your pro- posed heiress can keep him from it.

And so they are quietly marri Plantagenet Altick and Nunotte Gray and go to housekéeping in a pretty little cottage in. a proetty suburb somo miles from the splendid” city home of his father. Uncle Job, who has bagun a new work geology, shuts himsell up in his back room and ullows the world without to wag as it will, And it soon begins. to wag in a very cheerless manner for the two wedded young folks.

Her chosen lora smiles faintly at this specch and tries desperately to vally his drooping spirits. “Let's imagine,” says_he, “‘that our parents have gone to urope, yon and me; and that we can’t seo them anyhow for'n yeur, at loast; and they're having a splendid time, and we . will begin to look for them home”—but a great sob he can not strangle at its bivth mastors him; and these two young things, folded in one another’s arms, cloud their honeynioon with a shower of blinding tes It was a very humble position that the college-bred Plantagenet Altie found himself obliged to aceept to k the little house going—the only pos tion open to him when he, beside him- self with a just indiguation atan anr sonable opposition and a great and ab- sorbing love, broke bounds. anda b sought the faithful Nan to leave her sition as governess in a wenlthy and share his five-roomed cottag his meager salary. Nan, too used to poverty to let it frighten her, and imagining, innocent soul, that no one could long be angry at s0 dear a boy as Plant, conscnted: and the home-coming, though a lonesome little affair, brought with it happiness enough to last a fortnight, at least. Then Plantagenet suw that there was t0 bo no relenting on the purt of those he loved and rveverenced with all the strength of his boyish nature, and his grief grew greater with every passing hour. To crown all, he has lost_his po- sition the second week in the Novem- ber following, owing to the insolvency of the firm by which he had been em- ployed; and though they have given him a splendid recommendation, ihere is no pusition eusily obtainable. One morning a steay thought, finding its way from out that great, mysterious silence 8o full of untried possibilities, comes to him suddenly and sends him upon his own little errand straight to Uncle Job.

The fowl ha metns to buy he will offer to his nephews in turn, feel- ing suro that he who accepts it will no doubt ask him to share their dinuer, be it Tom, Dick or Harry, or Tom’s diso- bedient son. With an unmistakable grin of amusement, the “dealer in poultry places a very thin, wvery poor, very blue-about-the-breast-bone, low- priced turkey in Uncle Job’s basket. Early Thanksgiving morning the old professor starts out through the uncer- tain sunlight that - shines fiuul‘liy through the rifts of hurrying, wind- swept clouds, and, basket on arm, tinds his way to Thomas Altiek’s_ elegant home, He rings and is admitted. *Good morning, Uncle Job; anything 1 can do for yfu this morning?” *No, Thomas, thank you, "It’s some- thing I wauted to do for flou.

The object of the saleis not, as some have’ asserted, to get rid of our old stock for the best of reasons, we have none. Nor is it a holiday scheme to get the trade—Dbut it is as advertised, to close the retail depart- ment of our jewelry business which we have been desirous of doing for many months, and having failed to find a cus- tomer to purchase the stock entire, and to put the stock in- to our wholesale department not being feasible, we have: determined upon an auction sale of our entire stock of dia- monds, fancy goods, art goods, and all. Without limit or reserve of one single article. We invite all to attend these sales, which will be held daily for the next thirty days (if not disposed of before) andsee if this statement is not a fact. MAX MEYER & BRO. DRS.
