MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

John Edward Gle, graduate of
Union College, married Schenectady
girl, entered the ministry, became pas
tor of church on Long Island. He
started one day to cross the sound in an
open boat. The craft was found cap
sized, and the clergyman was missing.
The belief was, of course, that he was
drowned. This happened in 1849. The
widow married again, and now lives in
Schenectady as Mrs, Lyons. A recent
item told of a colporteur dying in a
barn at Niskayuna with $4,000 in his
pocket. He turns out to be the long
lost husband of Mrs. Lyons. 1t is sup
posed that he wandered off while in
sane, and that when he returned, to
find his wife married again, he decided
not to disturb her. The money has not
been claimed.
1t is rare. writes Paris correspond
ent, for French brides to shed tears;
but Mile. Samary, the actress, did, at
her recent marriage with M. Paul La
garde, the only son of rich stock
broker. The pulpit stairs. and even the
pulpit of the Madeleine, were filed with
pretty actresses, who crowded to see the
bride. She entered leaning on the arm
of her father, the violoncellist Samary,
and was beautifully dressed in ivory
satin and orange blossoms. Mile. Bar
retta, in an opal blue and silver toilette,
was bridesmaid. None of the BRIDE
groom's family was present. In the
sacristy the whole company of the The
atre Francois defiled before the bride,
whom the actresses embraced, and the
actors saluted by kissing her hand.
By the departure of the Carthusians,
France will lose some $250,000 a year
in the shape of license duties, which
the fathers paid on their celebrated
liquor manufactured in large quantities

The order at one time owned 6 vast
amount of property in Paris, in the
neighborhood of the Luxembourg
property which, it is said, was obtained
by pious fraud not uncommon in the
middle ages. The monks having set
their hearts on the chateau of Vauyert,
that habitation at once became the
abode of COLLINS and demons, who so
alarmed the proprietor that he disposed
of his residence for mere trife. The
property was purchased by the Carthu-
slams, who had little difficulty in getting
rid of the evil spirits.
Miss Eva Sothern, the beautiful daugh-
ter of E. A. Sothern Qord Dundreary),
is about to appear, or has by this time
appeared, in CONJUNCTION with Mr. Bouci-
cault, at the Olympic, London, in can
dy Blake" one of Boucicault's French
dramatizaions of the ''Gamin de Paris,''
revamped as far back as 1858 for his
wife, Agnes Robertson. Mr. Sothern
has vehemently, but Intellectually, OPP
posed her going on the stage. He has,
since their separation, allowed Mrs.
Sothern f1,0O0 a year for maintenance,
but recently made affidavit in court that
he is not, all told, worth more than
100000. The allowance has accord
ingly been reduced to f175 year, and
on this ground the Judge has decided
in favor of Miss Sothern going on the
stage.
Jonathan H. Greene, once the most
notorious and successful gambler in
America, and afterward known as an
exposer of gamblers tricks, is now
aged and poverty stricken in Philadel-
phia. From 1881 to 1912 he won money
right and left, not only from amateurs,
but heavily from professional players.
On one occasion he took $50, 900 from q
party of card sharpers in three days.
He was wonderfully skilled in handling
cards. and invented several of the swim
ding devices still used by faro dealers.
At length he renowned his evil ways,
restored great deal of money to men
he had robbed, and spent the rest of
his fortune in the advocacy of laws
against gambling. The statutes on the
subject in Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Ohio were largely passed through his
exertions. In lectures and books he
described the means by which he won,
but this after awhile failed to yield him
living. His family are now support
ed bV charity
