A Sweetheart in Not Next of Kin.
Chicnpo Herald : \V. I ) . Woleh , a
traveling man , insured his life in the
Royal Arcanum for $3,000untl made the
money payable to his nltlanced bride ,
Miss il ; Uio Parke , now Mrs. Palmer.
The Arcanum wrote Miss Pnrko as the
beneficiary .although its by-laws special
ly limited benollciarics to next of kin ,
blood relations or actual dependents , to
neither of which class did Miss Parke
'oolong. A year ago Welch was f ro/on
to death in Minnesota , and Miss 1'arko
and his two brothers. Seymour C.
Welch and L. C. Welch , claimed the
insurance. It was argued for the Welch
brothers when suit was brought that the
Royal Arcanum , having no power under
itHby-hiws to make MibsParke thobeno-
Jiciary , the policy was void , and that
they took the insurance money as heirs.
For Miss Parke , Miller Ci\bo" .ludson &
Ilogan , argued that in insuring Welch ,
witli the understanding tbat the money
should bo paid on his death tolas sweet
heart , the institution contracted a lia
bility , and despite its prohibition by
laws it was estopped from refusing to
carry out his obligation. Judge Shcp-
ard decided yesterday that under the
by-laws and a decision of u conrtof Mast -
t > achusttcs , Miss Parko was not entitled
to the insurance money , and it should
go to Welch's brothers. Miss Pnrko
will appeal the case.

Chicago Tribune : About the first of
last July Miss Annie Doefer. the twouty-
yoar-old daughter of William Doefor ,
an industrious farmer near Pomeroy , O. ,
read an advertisement in which IJorn-
hardt Uuttormann of Long Prairie ,
Minn. , advertised for a lady corro-
fipondcnt. Miss Annie answered for
amusement. The result was that Mr.
Dettormann sent on his photograph ,
and the next mail westward bore her
picture to him. Then ho proposed mat
rimony. The girl carefully investigated
his case before replying and found
that ho was a merchant at the
county-scat of Todd county , Minnesota ,
131 miles northwest of St. Paul. She
forthwith sent him word that , as her
parents were willing , she would bo his
forever. He asked her to como to him ,
which she agreed to do , and Saturday
ho forwarded a check for $20 , a wedding
dross , and some jewelry.
She loft alcno Tuesday morning to
moot and marry a man she never saw ,
and she seemed cheerful and lighthearted -
hearted , with a lonesome railroad ride
of 1,042 miles before her. She expects
to moot her intended husband at St.
Paul , and they will proceed together to
their now homo , whore , if all is satisfac
tory , the wedding will take place.
Before taking the train she said that
if she did not like Mr. Dettcrmann and
and the bleak winds of the northwest
eho would como back.
Left the Nunnery to Marry.
Now York World : Antonio Bctz , for
merly ambulance driver for St. Cathe
rine's hospital , Wilhamsburg. was mar
ried not long ago to Sister St. Mary , of
the Litany , of the sumo institution.
Mrs. Beta was married under her maiden
iiamo of Julia Holloy. Who married
thorn is not known , but it is known that
'Rev. Sylvester Malone , of St. Peter's
and St. Paul's church , on Wytho avenue -
nuo , refused to perform the ceremony.
Sister St. Mary , or Mrs. Betas sho'is
now , is a tall and stately woman.twenty-
five years old. She who born in Munich ,
whence she was sent to this country
seven years ago. When she
reached hero she was taken in
charge' by relatives , and by
thorn placed in the Convent of the Sis'-
tors of St. Dominic , in Brooklyn. There
Eho remained live years' and was then
transferred to St. Catherine's hospital.
It was in this institution that she mot
Botz , who was ambulance driver of the
institution. Sister St. Mary took the
customary religious vows and became n
professed nun. Last Juno Botz loft the
hospital , and about three months age
secured employment in Havemoyor't
sugar refinery. Ho rented rooms where
he now lives , and continued living there
until Sister St. Mary joined him. She
had loft the Institution unobserved and
in her nun's raiment. Mrs. Botz sayi
in explanation of her course that she
did not like the seclusion of a con von
and was unfitted for a nun's life. Sht
was only sorry that she did not have the
courage to say so before she entered th <
institution. The work she had to d <
was hard , and the hours were very long
She believed she would bo happier ii
her married life , as bho loved her hus
band dearly.
The Sister Superior St. Agnes , of St
Catherine's hospital , said : "Sho is goix
and that is all there is of it. She wai
at liberty to go where she pleased am
wo could not stop her. Wo are all pro
tossed nuns here , but wo do not make
our llnal irrevocable vows until wo an
thirty-throo years of ago. Wo are free
to go where wo please , but mXist give
notice.Rov. . Father Malone said thai
tistorf ) intending , to marry would have
to got a dispensation from the bishop
and that any aUtor could leave thoordci
if abe pleased. She could not leave
however , without breaking her VOWH.
The order of St. Dominic is a very strict
one. ami when postulants profess , after
a novitiate of live years , they are nuns
forever and cannot gel married in a
Catholic church without a dispensation
from the highest ccclefeiitstical author
ity.

A correspondent mot J. A. Henry ,
editor of the Janesyillo ( Wis. ) Argus ,
whose wife's sensational elopement with
Rov. David Seymour excited so much
interest all over the country. Mr.
Henry was asked if the rumor was true
that he and his divorced wife were on
the point of a second marriage , and re
plied : "Yes , soon : in a few weeks.
Some peoolo may think it strange that
I should marrv the woman again , but if
they could onfy see how delighted my
children are when they see mo in com
pany with their mother they would not
blame me. My children are dearer tome
mo than my hfo , and 1 am will to do
anything that will promote their happi
ness.- "
ness.Mr. . Henry intends to remain in
Janesville and expects that time will
bury from sight and hearing the mnch-
to-be-regrotted episode tliat struck a
blow at the happiness of so many pee
ple.AH
AH the natter has gained national
lotoriety Mr. Henry is perfectly will-
, ng that everybody shauld know that
10 is about again to clasp the erring
woman to his bosom.
After Henry had caught the couple
ind brought his wife back , Seymour
came west again. His long-sultering
and patient wife had forgiven him. Ho
went to a little town in Michigan and
began life over again as a laborer. The
man whom ho had wronged was his
Nemesis. Mr. Henry , learning where
Seymour was located , had some circu
lars printed giving a complete record
of the reverend scoundrel's wicked
ness. These ho caused to be distribu
ted broadcast in the town where Seymour -
mour was living , and the disgraced
preacher had to leave town.

did not reciprocate , and received his
attentions with the coldest indifference.
When ho called Wednesday evening
she declined to see him. 'This mad
dened Harris , and ho swore that ho
would be revenged.
Ono night the rejected suitor ,
mounted ona spirited horse , ngain
called at the Hammond residence and
asked lor Miss Minnie. He was told
that she had just loft the house with
several friends and was on her way to
church , about a mile- and a half distant.

overtook the party about three-quarters
of a inilo away. When ho spied Miss
Hammond ho put spurs to his horse and

Robert Morrell , step-son of Mr. John G.
Johnson , of the bar. Miss Drexel and
her two sibtcrs , Miss Liz/.io Drexel and
Miss Kate Drexel , are the three wealth
iest young unmarried ladies in the
United States. The aggregate fortune
that came to them from her late father
after the payment of about $1,500,000 to
Roman Catholic charities , was some
thing ever $18,000,000. It is so invested
as to bring each of them an income ol
ever $300,000 a year.
They have become widely celebrated
for their munificent charities , ono of the
tinost monuments to their philan
thropic spirit being the Industrial
School and Home for Boys at Edding-
ton , which is within a short distance ol
their own country homo at Torresdalo.
The homo was recently opened with 25C
inmates , and Is designed to accommo-
dole 600. The Misses Drexel have
already expended about $250,000 in the
furtherance of the project , and have
also undertaken to pay all the current
expenses out of their private means. .
They have also taken an active interest
in the work of christianizing the
Indians , and have contributed large sums
for that purpose. They Bent $100,00 (
in ono check for the use of the Roman
Catholic missions among the red men
under the direction of Bishop O'Con
nor , of Omaha , who is well known ant
highly esteemed hero. Their chari
ties among private individuals are in
numerable , extend in every direction
and are conducted on the most meth
odical basis.
Personally the young ladles an
highly and soundly educated. 'Thoi
care little for fashionable society , ' ant
were seen out seldom even before the ;
wont into mourning. They on tor tail
charmingly , however , In small parties
both at their- own -house , Fifteenth am
Walnut streets , and at their country
place. Their taste in dress is extremely
quiet. Their favorite pastime is horse
back riding. They have a variety of
excellent saddle horses in their stable
at Torresdalo , and are often to bo soon
dashing along the roads at 0 or "o'clock
in the morning. They are devout church
women , and have erected a beautiful
chapel of the con vent near their place
to the memory of their parents. They
attend mass there quite regularly on
week days as well as Sundays. They
also have a line oratory , adorned with
exquisite gems of religious art , in their
country place. It is just above their
dining room. The largo alcove in which
the altar is placed fronts on the drive
leading up to the house. As visitors
drive up on a summer day , when the
window is open , the first' thing that
strikes the eye when upward turned is
a cross adorning the altar. Many well-
Iniown prelates have celebrated mass
there.

youngest of the sisters. She is about
twenty-two. Her mother was the second
end Airs. Drexel , who was Miss Emma
Bouvier. a daughter of Michael Bou

B. Drexel is tall , fine-looking , amiable
; iud very cheerful. She is a remarka
ble good horsewoman , and much exer
cise in the open air shows its effect in
lor robust health. Curiously enough ,
Mit.3 Drexel's lirst cousin , Miss Mary
Louise Dixon , of Orange , N. J. , is to be
married Wednesday next , and the en
gagement of another cousin was an
nounced a day or two ago.
The present engagement has a bcar-
ingof great importance in relation to the

late Mr. F.A.Drexol. Mr.Droxollou the
income of his fortune , less the charities
spoken of above and a few others , to his
daughters for life. It was further pro
vided that in case that all or any of
them should have issue that the estate
should go to the otl'spring share and
share alike if there should bo more than
one child , and all to one in case there
should bo no more than ono child. In
the event of the failure of issue the
residue of principal of the estate goes
in proportion similar to the legacies
already awarded to the Roman Catho
lic charities already referred to.

BUM PARTNERS FOR AN HOUR
A Oovoy of Tramps Run Down by a
Reporter.
SEVEN-UP IN A COLD BOX CAR.
A Consclciice-Briiittcn , Whisky-Kitten

niul Camelling HiniNclf Into
"Thirty. "
Tramps in n Itox Car.
EARLY every night the
police docket records the
names of tramps who
have been arrested for
sleeping in box-cari. To
see them in their btolcn
berths a BKI ; reporter
walked into several of
the local railroad yards
when the sky was ob
scured with the serge ot
'
night.
"Aro .the t ramp s
trouble-some':1" : ho as > ked of a switch
man.
' You bet they are , and they're ft
tough lot. They all carry raxors or
slung-shots , or else arm themselves
with coupling pins , ahd no switchman
has any time 'fooling' around a car that
has in it three or four of 'em , The
yard watchmen arc armed , and the
bums are afraid of their guns. When
they are driven out of. ono car they
sneak along and got into another. "
"Do you think , " queried the reporter ,
"that I could got a chance to look into
ono of the cars and have a talk with
some of them':1" :
At this the burly switchman re
lieved himself of a largo railroad laugh
and critically took in the meagre frame
of the interlocutor.
"Look a'horo , young fellow , " ho said ,
"you don't look very stout , and if those
tramps took you for a detective , or any
thing of that sort , there would bo an
other mysterious disappearance for your
pardners to write up. "
Nothing daunted , however , the re
porter got his railroad friend to take
him to the switch shanty , where ho left
his Wntorbury watch and diamond ring.
Donning an old pair of overalls , and a
battered and tattered hat and coat , ho
started down the track in the direction
pointed out as being most likely to con
tain the game ho was after. Long lines
of cars stretched out into the darkness.
The moon had just risen , and glistened
on the rails , making the shadow be
tween the lines of cars more intensely
black. As the reporter entered the
alley between the .cars , his courage
almost forsook him. Ho cautiously
moved along , now and then stumbling
over a stone or link coupling pin , and
occasionally stopping to listen , peering
into empty cars by the aid of a lighted
match. All the cars in the alley had
been examined and nothing had been
found. By this time clouds had ob
scured the moon and a drizzling rain
sot in , which was anything but en
couraging ; and the reporter heartily
wished himself back in the warm
switch shanty.
As ho stumbled down another alley
on his way back , ho brought up short at
| the sound of subdued talking and laugh
ter coming trom ono of the cars. With
1 some trepidation ho tapped on the door
and the sounds abruptly ceased. The
door was slowly slide back and made
visible by the glare of a switch lantern ,
a bloated and dirty face , covered with
a two weeks growth of roil beard , was
thrubt through the opening.
"What in do you want ? "
"Say pard , " returned the reporter ,
"lot mo come in out of the wet , won't
yoV"
"Oh , it's only you , is it ? All right ;
como up. "
A dirty , big hand was extended , and
the scribe landed on his abdomen on
the car lloor. By the light of a candle
end , which was stuck on a lodge by the
car door in homo of' its own molted
grease , four men sat around an empty
soapbox playing sovonUiri with a greasy
deck of cards. In a corner , covered
with a ragged coat , lay n boy about fif
teen years of agoi with bare feet ,
shivering witli the cold. A vol
ley of the vilust oaths issued
from a burly ruffian whoi had lost the
game , and who was reviling his part
ner , a ragged , consumptive-looking man
opposite him. Thisrthoiroportor took
in at a glance as his introducer "sized
him up. "
"Gottin1 nasty out. ain't ' it ? " queried
ono of the men at the box , after they
had all looked the scribe ovor.
"Botcher life it is , " was the roply.
The game of cards wont on , and the re
porter sat on the car lloor and looked
curiously on.
' Where are you ! bound for , pard ? , '
the reporter was asked by the gentle
man with the red beard.
"Tryin1 to get to Frisco for the win
ter , " he replied.
"Sav , young follow , can you buy do
boor1 asked the big rutllan , turning to
the reporter.
"Yes. I've got a dime if some one will
go forit , " timidly remarked the scribo.
The gentleman with the red board
promptly offered his services , but the
Wg rutllan. . laughed , and remarked
" not. " "Horo
grimly that-her "jjuesbed
kid , " ho called to the shivering boy in ,
the corner , "trot a move on you nowand
got after that beer. " The "kid" slowly
arose , and picking up a battered tin
pail , minus a handle , took the dime and
left the car.
The conversation then became gen
eral , and the reiwrtor introduced him
self as a clerk who had been bick , lost
his munition and was trying to boat his
way to California. This satislled them ,
and the proffer of the beer made him
"solid" with the gang.
When the boy came back , the cards
were gathered up , and , after being
carefully wrapped up in a dirty piece of
paper , were stowed away in the pocket
of the "nifllan. " The man with the
red beard , in an aside to the reporter ,
informed him'that the ' ruffian was a
"dead hard man. " The conversation
turned to the police , who were roundly
cursed by all except the consumptive
man , who was too busy coughing. The
beer can was making the rounds , the
rod-bearded individual always manag
ing to get the lion's share. After the
liquid had been disposed of , the big
man , the red-bearded individual and
their companion , a dricd-up little fel
low whoso clothes merely hung upon
his frame , disposed of themselves for
the night , and the reporter and the
gentleman with the cough entered into
conversation ,
"How did you come to bo in this fix ? "
asked the latter. "What has been your
experience ? " '
"My exporiencol" he said ruminat-
ingly "iny experience has been a tough
one. It would make an interesting
story if written out. I've seen both
gootl and hard times , but now I'm what
is called a 'bum telegraph operator , '
and have 'jerked lightning' in nearly
every city in the country , from coast to
coast. Exciting businessi WcllI I
smile it was sometimes. " Here the
"bum telegraph operator" indulged in
a hard lit of coughing , from which ho
emerged exhausted. After ho had
rested , he continued : "Tho most ex
citing time I over experienced was
when I was dispatching trains on a cer
tain road in Ohio. To make a long
story short , I was a pr'otty hard drinker
in those days and ono night I came on
duty pretty 'lush. ' After lighting my
pipe , I tilted back in my chair and
made myself comfortable for the night.
1 dozed off and was awakened by the
conductor of an out-going train asking
for orders. Half asleep , and still fool
ing the effects of the whisky I had im
bibed , I gave him orders to 'pull out , '
and resumed my pipe. I had about set
tled myself for another snooze , when
the next station out called mo up
of 'wild' train
to report the departure a
coming in. What had I done ? Given
orders that would run two trains to
gether , the incoming train and an 'ex
cursion , ' filled to overflowing with pas
sengers from all along the line , who
were taking advantage of the cut rates
to attend the county fair. Toward off
a collision was now impossible. What
should I do ? For ton minutes , I was
paralyzed with fright , then the shock
sobered mo and I realized the enormity
of my neglect , and resolved to lly. I
thought of the penitentiary , and a pos
sibly long detention jn jail before trial ,
and , well I skipped. 1 took all the
money in sight , walked twenty-four
miles to another road , and made my way
south. I changed my name , and have
boon 'pounding brass' over since in
commercial ollicos , not daring to trust
myself to railroad work.
' "Ycsl the trains came together , and I
afterwards read in the papers a descrip
tion of the accident , as it was called. It
was not so bad as I anticipated , only ono
man , a brakeman , being killed. I con
cealed my identity , but my conscience ,
for I have ono , has been pounding at mo
all those years , and whisky is the only
thing that strangles it. In my time , I
was ono of the best operators in the ser
vice , but I am getting pretty 'shaky'
now , and they say I 'send pretty bad
Morse. ' I suppose I'll 'cash in' pretty
soon , and I don't care how soon it is. "
Here the 'bum operator' was seized
with another violent paroxysm of cough
ing , and the reporter , with a hurried
" " back thodoordropped
"good-night"slid ,
to the ground , and sped back to the
switch shanty.

The Now Vork Sun says of Miss Lydil
Thompson's reappearance : "Tho Lydm ol
last night was not the Lyilla of ' ( i-S. Th
girls who Hanked iietjn plentiful array wort
not the Markhnm , the Weber , and the Bar-
land of twenty years ago. They wore tbi

"The Yeomen of the Guard , " Gilbert nnu
Sullivan's last comic opera , received its first
American production by Kuilolph Aronson'j
company at the New York Casino , with Isa
belle Urquliart , Bertha Hieci and Fred Solomon
omen in the principal parts. The genera
vertliot seems to bo that it Is fully as artlstit
as "Huddlfioro , " but that It is destined to bt
no more popular than that opera. There ar
but two acts of "The Yeomen"nnd the scen
ery and costumes arc practically the same In
both. There is but little of the delicate Gll
bcrtian satire , nnd the sentiment mid patlioi
which takes Its place may not "go down"
with the gcner.il public. Sullivan has laid
himself out on the music , which is both in
genious und touching , though hu has been
misguided enough tulnttoduco movements
which me too heavy for light opera. T
