DEATH AND THE DEMI-MoNDE.
That irregular living can only end
badly was again illustrated in this
civ this week. Charles Revere, a
wealthy meat dealer has been in love
for years with a woman of no char
acter, named Anna Styles. He was
absolutely infatuated with her, and
spent vast sums Of money upon her.
The path be took vas a very straight
and not a very long ore. Drink fol-
lowed his other passion, then neglect
of business, until about a year ago
his mistress, alter the fashion of her
kind, dropped him. He had bat lit
tie more money to spend upon her
and ais further intimacy didn't pay"
The poor lunatic followed her about
all this time, and occasionally Just
for the fan of it," she would tolerate
him for a day or two. Last Thurs
dav be saw her at the Jerome Park
races and Joined her. In company
with another man and woman OF the
same class they returned to the city
and spent the night in the widest
excuses, getting to her house IN the
morning at FIVE O'Clock. Then Re-
vere begged her to become r~econciled
TO him, 10 again live with him, which
she very contemptucusly refused TO
do. Maddened by her heartlessness.
be threw what valuab'es be had
about him upon the floor, struck her
with the butt of his revolver, and
finished his work by shooting him
self through the head. 1t is the old,
old story. Revere bought this wo-
man q house, which he furnished IN
magnificent style-he supported her
like a princess-expending upon her
10 two wears not less than 100000.
Had be see, 600 more to spend that
she could have got hold of she would
have held to him but the moment
the supply of cash run short, the
fountain Of her love dried up, and
then death. His death affected her
more than if her parrot had died
her bearing at the inquest
was such as TO show that she felt it
was q relief. She will have another
ricH lover in a month, and they will
make merry over the death of Re-
we're, till his time comes. at is a
mad world my masters" Vice don't
pay.
BUSINESS
Has been a little more brisk this week
than last, though it is still bad.
Failures are as common as blackber-
ries. There is the regular list every
morning Of lame quacks, and nobody
who'is safe. "Who next ?"
Is the question most frequently asked.
Well, there must come an end some
time. Possibly, after the elections
are all over and the people get down
to living again there will BET %reviv-
al Of trade and the wheels will get
in motion again. Let us hope so.
