Sho was what would havo been termed a beau ty brlght-oycd, red-checked, 17 years old, a finely developed specimen of tho solf-rellant girl of tho tenements. Thoro wero many young fellows who admired; somo of them wished to mar ry her, among them Timothy Sullivan, a driver of a milk route. "Oood, hard working Sulllvnn," ho parents termed him. Ho nd in I red and loved her. Ho didn't caro for tho Hast Bldo dances, but ho took her because sho Insisted on going. If sho didn't go with him sho would go with somo other mnn, When pressed to marry him sho refused. At times slio preferred the society of oth ers to him, and on ono occasion, when ho called at tho homo, her family told him sho wasn't there; sho had gono to an excursion tho night beforo and THE DHATH-BED MARRIAGE failed to return. They had a telegram from her which said she had missed tho boat and the last train. Then she developed a habit of vlBltlng girl friends In Harlem and not coming homo for a week. It was tho same old story. Sullivan reasoned with her. Onco ho say her coming from an up town resort, half tipsy, with a flashily dressed mnn, who handed her Into a cab. For a couplo of years ho hoard nothing of her. Meantime Bho had ac quired a tasto for liquor nnd was quarrelsome. In Jnnunry Inst sho hit a man known ns "Foggy" O'Day over tho head with a bottle. Sho was ar rested,, but "Foggy" refused to proBO cuto on tho ground that ho "wasn't go ing against no woman." Sho was re leased and quarreled with tho man who was known as her lover. Sho at tempted to hit him with a bottlo and ho gouged out ono of her eyes and beat her Into Insensibility. After this dis figurement tho descent was rapid. Tho sailors and others nbout tho resort sho visited cruelly called her "Starboard Mary" because her "port oyo" was gono. A llttlo more than a week ago Sullivan mot hor. Sho was a wreck. Ho talked about old times to her, and asked her why she didn't brnco up nnd reform. "What's tho use, Tim?" sho said. "You are tho only man that over was really stuck on me. nnd I threw you ,ovcr for a lot of muts thnt couldn't do nothing but rush tho enn and spiel at a chowder." "Mebbo I ain't got over being stuck on you yet," was the reply. "Cut it out, Tim, for your own good. Everybody knows me, and whllo you think that way you couldn't Btand It for long," was tho reply. Tho strength of tho lovo that never liad died Insisted that tho woman ro form and marry Sullivan. Ho told her ho had money enough to go away from Now York, that In somo other .stato there would be nothing to remind her of hor past.

Sho vis ited a few of her friends nnd confide! to them sho whb going to get married. "Havo a ball?" snld ono. "No, I'vo cut It; I'm on tho water cart for good," was tho reply. "Clean tho pipe, Mnry, nnd tnko another draw," urged tho girl known ns her sldo partner. Mnry hesitated. Tho temptation was great. Sho yielded, and In a couplo of hours more Mnry Queen was hersolf. Sho had pummeled a bartender who laughed when sho told him sho was going to bo married and broken a mir ror with a whisky glass. When she got sober she went out and bought n bottlo of carbolic acid and drank It. It was on Saturday, In St. Vlncent'B, the doctors told her sho could not live, nnd she sent for Tim. Ho camo and held hor hand. Sho talked a little. She Eald sho was torry, but nftcr brcnklng her word with him sho didn't caro to live.

Whllo walking along tho beach in Chelsea, Marsh saw tho fish caught in tho surf and wont nfter It with a club. Nash, upon seeing tho struggle, went to his assistance. The two men finally suc ceeded In killing an ugly looking thing. It had an elongated body about 12 feet in length and was probably two feot thick.

A Wniiinn Slunclcil liy a Jncunr at Nowitrk. A fierce Jaguar that has beon in cap tivity only a few months almost killed Mine. LouIbo Mnurello, nn animal tam er, In Frank H. Boatock's show, at Newark, N. J., tho other day. The woman fought for hor life, whllo tho Jaguar bit her and toro her Bhoul ers and arms with his torrlblo claws. Other trainers nnd circus men ran to Mme. Maurello's nld nnd beat off the great cat-llko beast that seemed de termined to take her life. Being n woman, as well ns nn nnlmnl trainer, Mine. Mnurelle fainted ns soon ns she .found herself safe. Weeks will pass before alio recovers, but tho wounds will not bo fntal unless blood poison ing results. Mme. Mnurello exhibits herself nnd four Jaguars and leopards In a large circular cage. Thcso four beastB she hns reduced to almost com plete docility and, at her orders and tho threatening of a rnwhldo whip Bho cnrrles, they Jump through hoops, pile themselves -In pyramids and do vnrlous other tricks. A few doyB ago another Jaguar was added to tho collection. Al though this beast Is loan It weighs 200 pounds. Its short captivity has not tamed Its ferocity, but Mme. Mnurelle determined to begin Its education. With tho other Jaguars and leoparda sho drove tho now Jaguar from Its wngon cage Into tho exhibition cage. After a half hour of lashing and loud commands she succeeded In making the now Jaguar obey her so far as to He down and nrlso whon sho so order ed. But It was obstinate, surly, slink ing. Never for nn Instant did tho wom an danco away from It, for It con stantly wntched her as If waiting Its opportunity to attack her. After thirty minutes of such practice Mme. Mnurello dismissed tho five tam er animals to their wagons. It camo tho new Jaguar's turn to leavo tho ex hibition cage. Striking It with tho rawhide, the woman drove It toward tho door. Crouching, always eyeing her, It took two or three sneaking steps, then turned and sprang on her. Its forepaws, the clawB distended, struck her on the shoulder; tho brute's force and weight boro her to the ground. Instantly It bit her, sinking Its teeth In her right side and back, while its claws kept deeply lacerating her arms and shoulders. The woman shrieked for help, shouted commnnds, to which tho beast waB deaf, beat It with all her strength with hor whip, Tho besast, becoming even nngrler, more excited, released its hold of Mme. Maurello's body and seemed about to seize her throat, when Matthew John son, nn experienced nnlmnl trnlner'.and other men connected with tho show ran Into the cage. With tho butts of henvy whips, with clubs and pitch forks, they beat from Mme. Mnurello tho Jaguar, which, as it slowly retreat ed, kept snarling, showing Its teeth, feinting to spring. When the womnn was released, badly and painfully wounded as alio was, sho staggered to her feet and weakly struck at tho Jaguar. Only when It was safely lock ed In Its en go did she faint.

The Worshipful company of Glrdlera estimates that the luncheon given by them to tho secretnry of stato nnd members of tho council of India re cently worka out at something over 2,000.000 n head. The history of this remarkable feast is absolutely unique. In 1C31 a Robert Bell, then master of tho company, ordered from tho East India company a Persian carpet at n cost of 150. For this carpet tho East India company.now represented by tho council of India, never received pay ment. It was only recently that the present master of the Glrdlers.the lord mayor, discovered that at the ordlnnry rate of compound Interest tho sum they now owed amounted to no less than 107.000,000! Tho Glrdlera con sulted together and camo to tho nat ural conclusion that they could not meet (heir obligations. Not wishing, howevor, to appear dishonorable, they suggested that they should entertain tho council of India at a luncheon, which should wlpo off tho score. The council agreed, and tho Glrdlera, ns a result, entertained them nt a lunch, over which tho lord mayor proalded. Thero wero seventy-five guestB pres ent, so that each ono, bo to speak, con sumed a meal costing over 2,000,000. London Mall. Countess Hollo Chotek. CountesB Sollo Chotek, for whose love tho holr-prcsumptlvo to tho throne of Austria will sacrifice tho suc cession of his children to tho crown, Is one of the most beautiful and fas cinating of the women of the Aus trian nobility. Sho Is In every way but ono worthy to be tho wlfo of a prince. And that is no fault of hers, for she could not help having been born outsldo the sacred sphere of roy alty. The countess Is thirty-one years old. Sho Is very popular Ina Bohemia, where her father Is tho owner of lnrge estates, and in Vienna. Franz Ferdl nnnd, Archduke of Austria, her hus band, Is the son of tho late Archduke Karl Ludwlg. Archduke Franz visit ed Chicago during tho World's Fair on his tour around tho world.

Mrs. Lulso DeLnssomm of San Fran cisco returned from a tour of South Africa n short whllo ago and relates somo Interesting Impressions of tho Boors. "Tho Boers Impressed mo as being a Tory uncouth sort of people," sho says, 'although thoso that wo mot were pleasant enough. It Is easy to seo thnt thoy nro required to pny little attention to tho courtesies of life while young, bo that their manners nro de void of polish, nnd they frequently huvo a surly nlr, which does not by nny means creato a favorable Impres sion upon strangers. But of their fighting qunlltlcs thero can be no ques tion, and England need not expect to subdue them until their last shot has been fired nnd their last ounco of strength Ib exhausted. Thero Is no moro determined nnd stubborn rnco of people on enrth than tho Boers. The children, both boya nnd girls aro taught the use of firearms' as soon ns they nro old enough to hold n gun.

Ho Is now nt Bnclnyon, Bohol, nnd writes that Bohol Is radically different from the other lslnnds he has visited. Tho natives wero frightened half to death when the United Stntes soldiers enme, ns they had for ages suffered terrible Indignities from tho Spanish people, but In less than a month they wero thoroughly reassured. So In tensely do they hato tho Spaniards, however, that tho better educnted peo ple, who understnnd the Spanish lan guage, refuse to mnko uso of It. Tho population of Bohol Is devotedly Ro man Catholic, but Sergeant Cissell writes thnt the religion there Is much more given to form, and Is much moro exacting thun In this country. Tho cnthedral nt Bnclnyon is a magnificent building, with n chime of sixteen bells. "Llttlo clothing Is worn, except on Sunday," writes Mr. Cissell. "On that day, however, the men wear suits of spotless white, and tho women attlro themselves in most fetching costumes. They wear a black skirt with a long trail, a cream colored waist of somo light material, made In evening dress fashion, and then complete the toilette with a head dress that la stunning.

Ho was known to dispose of tho forces of tho Mafia, tho Irrepressible Becrct organi zation of crime In Sicily, and his house wns besieged by a clientele of persons doslrous of his Influence, lnwful or Il licit.

As a result mn queer and pathetic wlHs have been tear does a Boer women Bhod when she sends a son nway from her to fight for his country. Not a tear does sho shed when ho falls In battle. Fighting to them Is a business, a duty any thing but n matter of sentiment. My opinion Is that when thcro aro no moro Boer men left on the field tho Boer women will tnko their places and glvo desperate battlo to tho English foe, whom they hato with all their hearts. Thcso Africander women nro better soldiers than moat men. Life In tho Trnnsvnal for Boer, women 1k very pleasant.

In former times In England walk ing sticks wore commonly carried by both malo and female heads of fam ilies. Queen Elizabeth carried ono of -, thcso toward tho end of her life.

"Each evening tho natives congre gate at a placo near our camp to sing for a couple of hours, and this sing ing Is of a most weird nnd peculiar character. It reminds mo of ghost danco tunes, or tho dcvll-entranco music In opera. If you can recall tho music rendered In "Faust," where Mnrguerlto becomes Insane, you can. get an excellent Idea of the popular musle of Bohol. Often, lato at night, these strango airs come floating In from tho ocean, whero tho natives aro bobbing about in their canoes, fishing, nnd one is forced by somo strango spell to stop and listen, for the music, though nwfully weird, has a wonder fully soothing effect.
