The Painful Story of Three Wrecked
Lives Told When One Had Closed.
Louisville Nows, 4th.l

Louisville News, lth.l
Seven or sight years ago there came
to this city from Chicago a man who
at once fell into the good graces of a
certain class of people and secured
employment in his business-that of a
frst-class barkeeper. He was en-
ployed at the great hotels, and was not
unknown in the fashionable clubs as a
man who could cunningly contriye
mixed drinks and make the wine look
even more seductive than in its nat
ural condition. He gave his name,
and told every one hat he was a d.
vorced man one of those peculiar
individuals so common in Chicago (by
the way, they are getting to be pretty
numerous IN ouisville), and, being a
handsome, bright fellow, he soon in
gratiated himself into the society
which he sought. After a while he
found a girl, pure, lovable and gentle,
into whose ear he poured the old. old
story which so often proves a false
hood, even though it is often lived out
until death do US part She be-
lieved him and learned to think that
he was her husband in deed and truth.
Her mother joined in the belief aud
all went well. After a while the man
who rideth upon a pale horse knocked
at the door of the gallant who had
come out of the West, and the girl
wife dispatched in alright to the
mother of the man whom she fondly
deemed herhusband. As he Law upon
his bed of death, gasping day by day
his life away, the mother came
and with her came a wrOnged woman.
a wife who, although deserted for
years, had not forgotten the love of
the young and tender years when she
had plighted her faith at the altar to
the mar who had deserted her and was
dying in a far away land among stran-
gers. The sinking man never rallied
enough to recognize her, but went
down to the unseen land wept for and
honored by two hearts either of which
was too tender and true to weep for
such as he. And here let the curtain
ring down on the real drama of real
life.

necessary to arrest the conductor on

George w. Smalley, the London
correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune, in his lastletter says: The cable
brings word that the house has voted
to cut down the salary Of the Ameri-
can minister in London. 1t would be
ludicrous, if it we're not something
worse. 1t is true that an American
minister can live here on $4,000 as
well as he can on 81, 800; for one
simple reason, that he cannot live on
either. If you add them together he
might manage. Why not face the

United States cannot afford TO nav
the expenses Of its envoy TO
Great Britain, and abolish the
salary altogether, thus throwing

has lived on his salary. 1t cannot be
done, if a minister accepts in the
humblest way the obligations of the
life in which he is compelled to take
part. Or if, | may add, he responds
to the calls continually made BY his
own cOuntrymen both on his own
purse and what is expected from his
hospitality. In the days of General
Schenck, of unhappy memory, were we
not perpetually told IF theinsuficiencv
