Meyer was lavish Of presents. giving her in all
about S2OJ worth. Week before last Meyer be-
gan to scold her for working dresses for
Others. She told him she had no other means Of
support and that she expected by dressmaking
to get enough money To buy her own OUTFIT.
Meyer having ascertained for the first time
her financial condition, grew morose, and in
timated that he would not be prepared to marry
for several months. Then when She quietly said
that she could accommodate herself 10 him, he
burted out that he guessed they had not better

he must look for a wife with money, and that II
she could raise Si'n he would marry her Last

The Experiences of the Persons who have

For the past few days hundreds have
been attracted to High Bridge by the following

said Dan spellman, the aged Waterman
OIL the bridge, when the advertisement was
pointed out to him yesterday. There's
been about 10000 people asking me about
this matter since the advertisement Hp-
peared in THE SUN, and all l could cay
yourself. I've been here on this bridge about
twenty-three years. In the early years OF nv
service there came a STRIPPING of a fellow who
said that he could jump on the bridge. l didn't
think so. But sure enough some OF these rich
fellers around here made him up purse OF tloo;
and one evening, as the sun was setting behind
the hills, the daredevil Of fellow shot on OF
that bridge like an arrow. IL was his intention
to strike the water headforemost. but somehow
or other he kinder turned IN his descent and
made broadside strike on the water, sending
no report like a small cannon. l don't think

About six years ago Pete Francis announced
his intention to leap from the bridge but In
view OF the sudden disappearance OF his prede-

eral imitation bags and an umbrella: with these
auxiliaries he sailed Of. As might have been
expected. the umbrella turned wrong side out.
the innsuon bags slipped to the wrong end OF
his person. and with terrible force the luckless
Francis struck the water on his broadside. lie

destlnely married Louis Lcvaser, the Rev Jno
Neander performing the ceremony. The bride
returned to her parents house for her goods
and when she announced her marriage, her
parents forbade her leaving the house, and at
length induced her to promise to join them in
an effort to annul the marriage. Levasier sued
out writ Of habeas corpus for his wife, and on
the day OF Its return she sworc before Judge
McCue that she preferred to stay with her
parents, and the writ was dismissed. The same

d H i n q A IL Y.

ANDREAs JACOB CRUcAU AAGAARD was born
on the 18th February 1903, the son Of q clergy
man in North Slesvig.
IN the beginning Of 1881 he arrived in Frederik-
stcd, where he was engaged as assistant to the
distinguished physician ID. Stodman, TO whose
practical guidance and instruction he never ceased
to consider himself indebted.
On the 3rd January 1877 he was appointed
Kings Physician for st. Croix in 1854 he re-
ceiyod tho golden and in 1860 the silver cross of the
order Of DsnnebrOg.
With him has departed a man of rare merit. To
say that, as long as his mental and bodily
strength remained unimpaired, no was eminently
distinguished for skill, judgment, interchangeable
attention, kindness and patience in the exercise of
his profession, is q praise of no small value, but
which he deserved in common with others. To
mention his strict honesty and integrity as part of
his character, is almost to detract from his more
elevated worth as O man. His really distinctive
quality, and the source Of so many other virtues
was his extraordinary self-negation. In all his
actions personal gain was a subordinate question,
to do good to others the ruling motive. His good
actions did not spring from reason, reflection or
conviction, that so it ought to be, but from print
tive goodness of heart. When he did good, it was
as if he himself had no idea of its being good,
and that he acted 50, simply because he did not
know, how to act otherwise.
His disinterestodness, generosity, amiability
and other sterling qualities, were until be became
seriously attacked by the disease, to which he
finally succumbed, accompanied by a cheerfulness
and good humour, which rendered him a most agree
bic companion in society. He knew no greater
pleasure than to see others happy, unless it were
that of himself promoting their happiness, and
whenever this did take place, he never after
bestowed a thought upon it, while on the other
hand he himself would never forget even the
slightest inclination shewn by others to be of use
to him.
One more peculiarly of our lamented friend d e.
serves to be mentioned, viz. the unchangeabisns IS
of his character. He who writes these lines, has
known him for ~thirty-six years, and during thirty of
these years intimately and as the man vas the fret
year, SO be was till the last, except as far as his spirits
were altered by broken health.
Hundreds will gratefully bless his memory, but is
there one, wLo will think of hin with a single uB-
friendly feeling p Comm unicQted.
