An italian Eyangeline.

A romantic story has come to light
in connection with the Italian laborers
ON the West Shore Road, near Amster-
dam. 1t appears that one of the Ia
borers, who died of TYPHOID fever, was a
young and beautiful woman, dressed in
male attire, and named Angelina Lau-
rino. Her lover, FRANKIE Patricio, came
to America, and went to work on the
West Shore Road. After his departure
from Italy she disguised herself and
worked her way on n steamer to New
York. Hearing that Patricio was at
work on the West Shore Road, she also
engaged in the work in the hope of
finding him. On two occasions she
caught sight of him. but was not able
to call his attention-once on an ex-
press train. and once on a canal boat.
Not till her sickness did she reveal her
sex. Patricio was at work near by and
came only to see her die. As she awoke
from her dclirium and saw him bending
over her, she said, in Italian cat last
we meet, only to part forever. Fare
we'll, my dearestr' which were her last
words, for she expired Immediately af-
forwards. Utica Herald.
