Masquerading ns ( v Female Tor n
Year.
DtriT.r Tribune , iUrch 17.
A most romnntic CASO of love nnd
nnticipnted marringo was developed
by R Tribune reporter yesterday. One
ot the principals , the party to the
"brooches , " has lived in Dam or for
the year past in female ultiro , liao
worked in a household capacity for
Boino of the boat citizens as n female ,
nnd was supposed to bo n woman.
The expectant bride also came to the
city n yonr ago , nnd has boon doing
domestic labor over since. Yesterday
the former doffed the female nnd don
ned the inalo attire , nnd
BOLDLY ASKKTED TUB MALR OKNDK11
The latter nlundonod the ways of
ddmustic labor and linked armi with
tliu lover wont to the West Doiuvr
residence of n friend to their await the
time of the important ceremony.
At the homo of Mrs , Carrie M Kih-
bon , No. 174 Twelfth street , The
Tribune reporter found the loving
couple. The lever was clothed in n
bran now suit of the most approved
hfind-me-down pattern , nnd wore n
wierd blue necktie fastonoi1 in n far-
out-nt-soa-sailor-knot. Ho looked
somewhat ashamed , blushed percep
tibly nnd painfully , nnd while convors-
ine and in fact during the entire
visit of the reporter hold n newspa
per in front of his person ns though
afraid that his flguro was
NOT QUITE THK rilOPEK THING
to look nt under the circumstances.
Ho is n very ordinary looking person ,
with two prominent features of per
sonnel high check bones and very
lanjo hands. The young lady is a
very handsome blonde of the pro-
nonncod order , slender nnd willowy
in farm , almost regular in features ,
nnd bluo-oycd.
The young couple were very timid
when first approached to recite tholr
history nnd love , but with a Httlo
acquaintance their temerity were ofl'
and they told two stories that make nn
interesting narrative.
Charles H. Miller in the nnmo of
the versatile lovor. He was born "in
Massachusetts , ono of a family of two
children , the other being n sister.
When three years old his parents ro-
movcd to Chicago , and then his
father went into the grocery nnd
liquor business on North Clark stroot.
Ho
RAPIDLY ATTAINED HICHES ,
but when the fire of 1872 came it de
vastated his cat at o and loft him almost
penniless. He resumed business in
the same neighborhood , however , and
at the time of his death a couple of
years later the wife and children were
left a reasonable fortune. Out of the
inheritance the boy Charles was willed
§ 5,000 in' bank and a property at the
corner of Clark and Lasallo streets ,
fronting Lincoln park , valued nt
$0,000. The daughter married Mr.
John Wilson , who is now the owner
of the famous North Side brewery.
A year ago Charles took a trip west
nnd made Kansas City his first stop
ping place. There ,
IN A Sl'IKIT OP DEVILTRY
ho put OH female habiliments , and
being gifted with qualities of speech
and characteristics of person which
enabled him to easily play the part ho
assumed , his gender was never
doubted. Ho came on to Denver nnd
continued the escapade under the
name of Mary Olson. Ho bearded nt
the hotel , but tiring of the masquer
ade in public places , ho sought work
in a domestic way through nn intelli
gence office. Ho was employed by
Undertaker Wnlloy , and nt the homo
of that gentlemen gave gonpral satis
faction in the line of hired girl. This
adventure was tame though , and he
cast his eyes about for something moro
thrilling. Thora came through an in
telligence oflico a request for young
woman
TO ASSIST A 1ADT IN HODSE MOVIKO.
But the story goes too rapidly.
It is co-incidental that Miss Nettie
M. Presby arrived in Denver seeking
household employment about the time
that Miller hud opened his masquer-
ado. Shn served with aovor.il families ,
and in September last found herself
in employment at the homo of Mr. T.
T. Frith. Mrs. Frith wont off on a
visit , and during her absence Mr.
Frith moved to a now homo on Capitol
tel hill. Miss Presby was unequal to
the task of moving nnd arranging the
furniture and hou ohold effects with
out assistance nnd applied at an in-
tollignnco oflico for an able-bodied
workina woman. And thus the lever
wan ( rained.
During the few days that
THK ADVENTUROUS FEMALE IKFIJIlSONt
ATOR ,
assisted in the household he learned
to appreciate the intelligence and
beauty of the domestic Miss , and only
tcok his departure after having con-
fussed to the part ho was playmir ; and
arousing the fire of love in tlio young
woman's breast.
The deception was continued , how
ever. Miller went to Central City ,
nnd after a lone absuncr , returning to
the city and located at the Lindell
hotel. Ho visited the loved ono con
stantly , and about a month ago ofTorod
his hand and fortune. Preparations
were then made ( or the celebration of
the initials at an early day , but as
Miller did not have enough money in
bank hero to see thorn comforlnbly
through the bridal tour , the ceremony
was deferred until such time as ho
could obtain a sum from his Chicago
account.
Yesterday there was received by
him a draft through the First Notional -
tional bank of this city , and immedi
ately
rCXTINO ON HIS fHOFKIt OABUENT3
ho presented it to the bank at a late
hour. It was then the intention to bo
married at once and depart for the
east on the evening train. By one of
those misfortunes which often occur
at such a time , the intention was de
feated. The caihier , it soenu , had
mUundentandiop about the
party to whom the draft WM made ,
wid falling to identify Miller , postponed -
ponod the payment until to-day. Mis *
Presby is of n superstitious nature
and refused to bo married on Friday ,
nnd so the romantic pair will not bo
united until to-morrow or perhaps
until Monday. They will tnko the
first cast-bound train , nnd after
A noNKYMOON JUNKET
of a few weeks they will tnko up their
residence nt Chicago , in the estate bo-
qucathod to Miller by his father.
Miss Presby isn native of Hyman ,
Now Hampshire. From thorp she
wont to Lincoln , Nebraska , coming to
Denver from there as stated.
Miss Presby is 25 years old ftiul Mr.
Miller is 26. The ono is a Methodist
and the other is a Catholic by reli
gious persuasion. It is their intention
tion to bo married nt the Emamiel
Episcopal church.

In Francoas , most people are nwuro ,
no oiu meeting n funeral on the streets
omits to raise the hrtt or cap in token
ot respect , but in Spiin this usage
does not exist. When the "vintiqtiu"
is carried through the streets everyone
ono is b.trohr adud nnd knoolmtr , but a
funeral passing along receives no nurl.
of respect ns in Franco. Moreover ,
while in the hitter country a deceased
person is followed to the comotary by
nil his relatives , friends , acquaint
ances , and oven by many who are only
acquaintances of his acquaintances , in
Spain it is the habit to abstain from
accompanying the coffin to tlio grave.
If the d > fuoct bulongs to the bettor
classes , hit friends send their car
riages to follow , but they themselves
remain ut home. The Spanish ceme
teries differ also materially from those
in Fiance. "They nro , " said M.
Emilo Maison , who has resided many
years at Madrid , "but walls provided
with drawers , only a few monuments
being soon ja the iiiclouri , erected to
the memory of the wealthy or distin
gimht.d. "
To leavu Spiin n d iU customs and
h.ilt on Intly's clussio soil , thcro are
ono or tire thiucn worth tnontioniiii , '
in reference to the butiul of the dead ,
whiuh is performed with a diilerunl
ceremonial in different parts of the
country. Ono remark which applies
to tlio whole of Italy , may be innK ,
however wmcly , that tiio hourou ib
entirely unknown. Apropos of thn
hearse , ita introduction into France
only dates from Louis XIV.'B time ;
and when it was first used to carry
the dead to the cemetery , the innova
tion was loudly condemned by the
by Iho public. At Turin the inter
ment of the higher classes takes place
generally at dusk ; the followers are
numerous , but are mostly composed of
valets or servants of the friends or
relatives of the deceased , clad in rich
liveaies for the occasion.
At Naples funeral ceremonies nro
conducted with n certain parade und
pomp. The dead man , woman , or
child is exhibited , richly dressed , on
the bed ; sometimes , indeed , the body
is thus exposed to view under the
the porch of the house , surrounded
by lighted tapers and flowers. When
the moment arrives for placing it on
the bier , the duty is discharged by a
religious community , excepting in the
case of the poor , whoso remains , as in
Franco , are consigned to the "fosso
commune , " which is , in fact , nothing
but a deep well. In the magnifont
Neapolitan cemetery , which forms an
amphitheater , there are 3G5 ot these
wells , ono for every day in the year.
Every day ono of them in opened to
receive the dead , n quantity of quick
lime is emptied into it , n few pails of
water are poured on , and the stone is
replaced , to bo removed again only at
the expiration of a twelvemonth.
This is how the remains of the poorer
classes are disposed of. With regard
to the wealthier portion of the commu
nity , they are interred in a monument
resembling a chapel. The collin is
not lowered into a vault , for the rea
son that there are none , but is placed
in the chapel itself , and covered with
n slight layer of prepared earth , which
has the property of reducing the
body to a skeleton within a year
from da to of interment. The family
of the deceased person then proceed
with another funeral ceremony. The
bones are collected , put into a fresh
co f I'm of peculiar shape , and walled
up , the name and quality of the de
funct being inscribed on the atone
which shuts in tlio coffin.
Afc Palermo the dead are placed in
a bier richly covered with rod uilt-om-
broidered velvet , or in a kind of Se
dan chair equally rod , and convoyed
to the convent. On its arrival the
body , after the funeral service lias
been performed , is lowered into a
lar u "soutorrain , " which extends un
der the convent gardens. Jloro the
unconfined remains are placed in a
vault , the ground of which is formed
of extremely fine sand. Each recep
tacle is made to hold six or eight
corpses. It is called the "Scolatojo , "
and , vrhon filled , is walled up for a
year.

Dear reader , did you erer go Into

next day after a "specialty company"
had been on the boards ? If not , you
have failed to see the most grand and
awe inspiring ruins of which our
country can boast. In ono dressing
room you will find whore a box of
powder hns boon upset. There too
you will find a tress of hair , perhaps
still clinging to the nail on which her
blonde nig hung. You will also find
some hair pins and some rouge. Per
haps you will pick up a bangle or

she hippoty hopped off the Htago.
