TWO BROKEN HEARTS.
Bewitched nv "a Beautiful Actre'R-A
Loving Wife's Terrible Death.
From Figaro.

| FROM r lSdrO.
In 1870 Young Frenchman the Count
George de Meyrac, married beautiful
girl Of his own station in life, Mathilde
-. who was very much in love with
him. All went we'll, and the two were
very happy in their devotion to each
other. They were fond Of the theater,
and every one just at that time was en-
raptured with new actress, Rosits, who
took the principal roles in the dub
ious dramas of the Dumas school. The
newly welded pair often went 10 Rosltas
theatre, until the countess thought her
husbands eyes fingered too fondly on the
actress, and began to feel the pangs Of
jealossy. Frou-Frou was one of RositaS
best impersonstions, and on her farwell
night sheappeared by request in that char
acter. The Jocky Club of which George
de Meyrac WAS Vice-P President, gave her
supper after the play. George, Of course
was presnt, ahd sat by the side of the
fascinating Rosits, who was surrounded
with bouquets. Wine flowed freely, and
mirth, and wit enlivened the banquet
until o clock in the morning. Mean
while, the poor wife Mathildc, waited at
the little gate Of their park for the truant
husband. The hours passed slowly on,
and he came not. A cold, penetrating
rain began to fall at midnight, and
Mathilde trembled from exhaustion and
exposure. At five in the morning, when
her husband came through the little gate,
he stumbled over her inanmsts body
living on the ran-soaked ground. She
was not dead: she lived for five DAYS
after. but never recovered her mind. In
her dcirium she necessarily murmurcd
"Frpu-Frou Frou-Frou - These were
her last words.
The Count was almost craZed by his
wifes loss. He entered the army OF the
Franco rusSian war. Fate was cruel,
and he returned unframed. His wifes
room, adjoining his own, had always been
closed since her death, but owing to the
sutiicating heat one summers night,
George opened the door between the two
rooms. lie fell asleep. In about an
hour he awoke; the clock struck mid
night. As the last stroke sounded, he
heard distinctly from the other room the
words "Frou- Frou" He listened with
ipexpressible anguish "Frou- FrOu' SEEM
ed To- be murmured from all parts of the
70 ON. He leaped from his bed, lighted
a candle. and crossed the threshold at
Mathilde's chamber At that instant a
cl,rr.nt of air eXtinguished the candle,
and George felt upon his forehead, his
lips, his cheeks, something indefinable--a
breath, caress, the contact of a cold
wing, or, parhaps, the muslin of a peig-
poir. HO fell unconcious. The next
morning he was found lying there insane.
To every interrogation he only replied
"Frou- Frou" The country people in
the neighborhood of the Chateau de

PHONETIC REFORM.
Au Explanation Of the Phonetic
PrincipaI-HOwi IL Looks When APP
uIIed 10 Common Types.

The spelling mania which is having II
violent run hereabouts is attracting II
great deal of attention and naturally
suggests discussion of the Phonetic sys-
TEN of forming words, which, if carried
out, would enable any man to spell l
word correctly the moment he could
pronounce it. To do this seven
changes in the types only are
necessary, and such a thing rs
double letters would then be unknown.
Let IuAoo III tn and oh and ng
be used, all excepting the four latter be-
ing common types turned upside down,
as the reader will readily prcceive, and a
correctly printed specimen of spelling
words by the Phonetic method will be
attained.
We print US a specimen of this, not the
most advance reform Of spelling. This

with health greatly improved, but tn"
rigorous winter climate of that high Ia
bic land proved tno severe for her feeble
body, and after an illr $ of ten days she
died of an iuhammatory complaint.
Mrs. Smith was born at Hagerstown,
in MARYLAND. on the eleventh Of Janu-
arv. 1905, consequently had just passed
into her seventy-tirSt year at the time Of
her death She was the daughter of
VIM. Fitzhugh a wealthy citizen of that
State.
Miss Fitzhugh was married to Gerrit
smith in the year 1922. Though but
seventeen wears of age, she was recog-
nized rs leading belle in the social cir
cles of western New York. She was a
Young lady Of great beauty, superior ed

she cordially seconded all the reforma-

50 prominent part. Mr.. Smith was ac-
customcd to read 10 her, in manuscript,
his addresses for the platform and his
contributions for the press, and often
made corrections therein IN accordance
with her wise suggestions.

The Cleveland. Tuscarawas and
wheeling,

Both of the Cadiz papers say that
Sclah Chamberlain purchased the Cleve-
land, Tuscarawas Valley and Wheeling
Railway fer the Baltimore and Ohio
Company, and that it is the intention Of
the latter to extend the road from the
Panhandle to the Ohio river They
say further that engineers will be put
upon the road this week to make care
iul survey. We hope their information
is correct. for nothing would please the
people orthis valley better than 10 have
this road made part of the main line Of
the B. u q. road. This could easily be
done by building bridge at Wheeling
and connecting with the Hempfcld
road-owncd by the L. X O.-running
from Wheeling via Washington, Pa, to
ConnellsYille, on the road leading from
Pittsburgh to Cumberland. This would
Give them a through route by way of the
Connellsville Road, and the Hemptield,
much shorter and of better grades than
10y the way of Grafton. Wheeling has
now chance to recover her lost advan-
tages, and she ought to act promptly in
the mattrr.-TtsrGrHIruS AdrDcGte.

were little premature in asserting that

Owing to continued scarcity in the
market early in the week, prices advanced
on Monday, and sales were freeley made
at our highest quotations. There were
a few better top hogs than there were
last week, but the general average of the
the receipts are not as good
AS last week, there being much
larger number of common hogs than
there were then. At the present time
the market is quite slow and the pros
poets look Just now, toward lower figures
