Few men can hear of the loss
of gallant ship without a touch
of sadness. Life had been COM
pared to the great ocean, and
men to the ships which sail there
on. When a bark which has
brayed the tempest of strange
seas comes home with rusted
hull and tattered sails men well
come her back just as they do
one of their own kind who has
,journeyed afar and passed
hrough peril to benefit his race.
1t is when we come upon the
wreck of q once noble ship that
men try hardest to remember
how we'll she served her builders.
It is when we hear that some
gallant bark is missing leaving
no sign nor trace, that men are
awed as they speak her name,
There is nothing that will
touch and soften the heart like
the sight of the wrecks which
drift here and there On life's
oceaa-oncs grand and gifted
men now blown hither and
thither, now going with currents,

PARIS SENSATION.

New YORK, July ga cable
special furnishes the following
particulars of the death by sui
icide Of Mrs. Annie Wetmore,
which took place at the resi-
dence of the lady about Clinton,
No. IL rue Chateau Aubrlan, at
three o'clock yesterday. Her
death has created painful SEN
sation among English and Amer
lean residents here. 1t is the old
story-misplaced affection aban-
onment and disbonor.
Some two or three years ago
the deceased lady met the Mar
quis Of Anglesy, then Lord Henry
Paget. She was a handsome at
attractive woman, and it is said
she abandoned her husband and
only child under the impression
that if she could get o divorce
Lord Henry Paget would marry
her. However this may be, it is
certain that the relations OF the
parties we're of the most intimate
character, and the friends of Mrs.
Wetmore were led to believe a
promise of marriage actually ex-
listed, and that divorce having
been obtained she would soon
become Lady Anglesy, Lord
Henry Paget having succeeded
to the title. The unfortunate
lady's hopes were suddenly
blasted, however, by publication
of the marriage Of the new Mar
quis to the Hon. Mrs, Wood
house, widow Of Lord Kimber-
ley's second son, and daughter
of Preston King, of Georgia.
The shock to Mrs. Wetmore was
terrible, and her friends thought
she would lose her reason. After
she become more composed the
idea came to her of sueing the
Marquis in the English law
courts for breach Of promise, as
she had upward of two hundred
of his letters which she consid-
cred would establish her case.
Whether she shrank from the
scandal of such proceeding, or
whether she was deferred from
the resolution by insufficiency Of
testimony, is not known, but she
settled down into a state of mel
ancholy from which nothing
could arouse her, and finally she
procured the fatal drug which
put an end to her existence. The
police authorities held an inquest
into the affair to-day. After in
specting the body, they gave Mr..
Weeks, of the chapel in Rue
Bayard, permission to make oil
necessary arrangement for the
funeral. The last services will
be conducted by DR.. Morgan at
his chapel next Saturday morn

The sItuatIoa Ia Indiana.

A Democratic politician has stated
the strong points Of the Democratic
position In Indiana very succinc.ly and
clearly in these words:
Hancock Is stronger in Indiana than
Tiiden was, and Garfield IL not rs strong
as Hayes. whose personal record at that
time vas unstsined and unassailed.
The Democrats have all the money they
5sr' for campsign purposes. much more

puhliesus have Less. The GreenbAok

bythe Republicans at the last hour.
This year quite the contrary IL apt to

best organizer In the State, and . man
Of great intellectual force aud the coolest

Of ali eAson why the Democrats are

Of the Democratic Presidential ticket.
and the certainty that the Presidential

materially. The people Of TudiAna like
