Nearly Kissed Themselves to Death


 Osculation is unquestionably a pleasing pursuit. It has been recognized as such from time immemorial by generations unnumber- ed of lovers, poets and even philosophers. There are doubtless, at the present moment, in this as in other countries, many enamored swains who ask no better than to be permit ted to imprint ''ten thousand kisses" one after another, upon the lips of the damsels on whom they have bestowed their affections. They may, however, esteem themselves fortu- nate if their opportunities in this direction gre somewhat limited, as the following true story will show At au evening party in Kelkheim, a few weeks ago, the conversation happened to turn upon kissing and the question arose how many salutations of this class could be exchanged between too ardent lovers within certain space of time As usu- al, opinions differed and the discussion wax ed warm. Presently a fiery youth offered to bet anybody present that he and his bethroth- ed would kiss one another 10, GOO times with in ten hours, provided they were permitted to partake of some slight refreshment at intervals of half an hour duing the perfor nance. His wager having been accepted and the money posted, the atfianced couple ad- dressed the selves to the achievement of their congenial task. At the expiration of the first hour their account stood credited with two thousand kisses During the second they added another thousand, and during the third seven hundred and fifty to that number. Then, pitiful to state, they both broke down. The youths lips were stricken with cramp, and the maiden tainted away Later on in the evening she was compelled to take to her bed with a sharp attack Of neuralgia. An even more distressing result ensued from this surfeit of tender endearment for it led to the breaking of, by mutual consent, of hope full matrimonial engagement. Young lovers should keep this sad tale in mind and moder- ate their transports, for, strange it may seem, Dan Cupid himself may be kissed to death

In the evening Dr. Putnam, his Boston physician, was telegraphed for to assist his son, Dr. Edward Waldo Emerson, who had sole charge of the patient the past two days. At 9:1O Judge E. Redwood Hoar entered the tele- phone office, and calling Dr. Putnam an nounced the dea h at $50. He died uncon- scious and without struggle. There were present Mrs. Emerson, his son Edward Wal do and wife, his unmarried daughter Ellen, his married daughter Edith and her husband, w. H. Forbes, Judge Reyes, father of Mrs. Dr. Emerson, Judge B. Hoar and nurse, Mrs. Simmons. His entire illness was remarkably free from pain and his departure from life as peaceful and qu1et as it's course. He uttered no last words.

Sheriff's Brutal CareIessness.
 ST. ALBANs, April 27.-The inquest this afternoon on the body of Edward H. Crafts who shielded this morning with dose of chloral, showed that at the suggestion of friends who feared suicide the sheriff took charge of him, that he told the officer he had taken the dose and would die in less than three hours, that in spite of this no effort was made to help him, but he was taken to jail, laid on the table in a dying condition and left in care of a highway robber and two thieves while the sheriff went to the depot on business. The rigor of death coming on the prisoners aroused the sheritf's family and an officer was summoned. The verdict of the inquest was suicide. Crafts was a native of West Lebanon, N. H., and for twelve years was head clerk of the United States and Can ada Express company at Boston.
