While Mrs. Langtry was enjoying a
sumptuous repast in her private hotel
car at Rochester last Friday evening,
according to the Democrat and
Chronicle of that city, a poor French
woman in the depot sitting-room was
starving. The same train had brought
them both to Rochester, one in a palace
car, the other in smoking car on a
poor-master's pass-for her husband
had lust died and she was a pauper in
a strange land. When Mrs. Langtry
had finished her dinner, she opened the
window and offered some cakes and
sweetmeats to some hoys who were
playing about the car. "Ben" Dixon,
the car shifter, saw her, approached the
car, and, after apologizing to the lady,
stated the condition of the poor woman
In the sitting-room, and suggested that,
if she had any food to give away, he
would take it to the hungry woman and
child. Mrs. Langtry appeared much
interested and said she would have some
food sent to the woman Immediately. In
a few moments a cOlored man emerged
from the the car laden down with cold
meats, fruits, etc, which he conveyed
to the tamished woman. Later, the
woman and her child visited the car
and personally thanked Mr.. Langtry for
her kindness. The actress received her
kindly and before she left presented
her with S.. Some one else in the coach
gave the woman s., and later the
boys" about the station swelled the
purse O$l1.

Why lie Married Her.

In the forthcoming fascinating biogra-
ply of the heroic Lord Lawrence there
is, among many anecdotes, one emlnent-
ly characteristic OF the man, who was
as strong in his affection rs III his Will,
He was one evening sttingin his draw
ing-room ut Southgale with his SISTER
and others of the family all engaged
in reading. Looking up from ms nook,
in which he had bceu engrossed, h" 'lls-
covered that his wife hau left the room.
Where's mother said he to one OF
his daughters. She's upstairs, re-
piled the girl. He returned to his BOOK,
and, looking up again few moments
later, put the same question TO hls
daughter and received tn" same answer.
once more he returned to his reading,
once more looking up with the sam"
question on his lips His sister broke
in. "Why, really, John, il would
seem as if you could not get on for five
minutes without your wife, "Thats

DeRIh and MafriMOnY.

The marriage of Miss Flora Carleton
to the Rev. Chas. p. FagIani, which
was intended for some day in May, but
which took place in New York last Sat
urday afternoon at the death-bed of the
brides mother, was a most solemn one.
While attending services in the church
Of the Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby, last
Tuesday, Mrs. Carleton was suddenly
seized with pneumonia and compelled
to take to her bed When DR.. Crosby
called on Mrs. Carleton last Saturday
afternoon, she told him she realized that
her recovery was hopeless, and that her
one great wish remained unfultilled, i,
which was to witness her daughters
marriage. Mr.. Fagnani was then in
the house, and quickly summming the
friends to act rs witnesses, DR.. Crosby
gratitied the dying woman by uniting
her daughter to him at the bedside.
Mrs. Carleton lived only just long
enough to bid them God-speed in their
life's journey, which was closing for
her.

He Said He Would moot.

A difficulty occurred abolt seven o.
clock on Tuesday morning al the Duck
worth Club Democratic headquarters at
Cincinnati, which came near terminal
ing in a tragedy. Among tie visitors
were Mayor Means and ,Jtiler John
Brady, ex-lieutenant of police, Demo-
cratic State Committeeman and politi-
clan. The Mayor had beei drinking
considerably and had been tilted back
in his chair, asleep for some time. Bra
dy and Colonel Robinson were sitting
together talking when Means woke up
and asked them to drink with him.
Brady and Means have not been on
friendly terms since the latter refused
the former position under him at the
beginning of his administration and
Brady declined.
He then went up stairs 10 inspect
some late returns. Presently he was
called down, and Means, who had been
angelcd by Brady's refusal 10 drink,
drew his pistol and threatened to shoot
him. Brady also drew his pistol and
declared if Means was not taken away
he would kill him. Friends interfered
promptly and prevented collision, TAX
ing Means away, Brady remaining.
The latter is said to have been pertectly v
sober. The affair has created great ex-
Citement.

CITY CHARTER.
The May Or's Views on the Charter
His Opinion Of Mr.. Bates Actions.

In a recent conversation in reference
to the new city charter, and the amend
ments that are being added, and altera-
tons made by the Legislature, Mayor
Wales expressed himself substantially
az follows:
81 consider the action Of the Legis-
lature in this matter as an outrage on
the citizens Of Wilmington. They are
endeavoring to make laws and regula-
tions for the people of this city that
they neither need Or want and the Legis-
laturc should either have passed the
charter as it was sent to them by Conn-
Gil, or rejected it altogether. If it was
absolutely necessary to make any
alterations, common courtesy alone
would have demanded that they should
first have been submitted to Council,
before being presented to the Legisla-
ture
"Thc idea of appointing IA Judge for
this city is prepOstcrous, and If the
subject was submitted to Il vote of the
people would meet with an overwhem-
ing defeat. The only object in doing
this, is TO make place for some
favorte from Sussex, who has
not got the hayseed out of his
hair, or some young shyster from he
number that infcst this city. If a
Municipal Court is necessary now, was
it not equal y so two years ago? and
yet nothing was heard oft then. "
Referring to Mr.. Bates and his COM
ments on the charter, as reported, the
Mayor said: "Mr. Bates deliberately
f,l. 1, 10, ba Iln
represents the people of this city, and
has violated every promise he made to
them prior to the election"
The Mayor then concluded by repeat
ing that he considered the charter, with
the amendments that have been tackled
to it while in the hands ofthe committee
at Dover, rs an outrage, that is only
equall-d by the indecent haste with
which it is being pushed through the

The Democratic factions i'll Georgia

have raked up the record Of Acting Gov

Some time ago an article as pub

correct statement how the Nall-pOx
was brought to this city abut last
Christmas. AT that time the lame Of
the boat could not be ascertaie.l. but
the matter has not been allowe to lay
dormant or be forgotten. Ater the
most persistent inquiry II hs been
ascertained beyond a doubt hat the
pest house was the barge r. A Archer,
which arrived at this port frdl Balti-
more about the 2Sth OF DeceIter, and
remained here until the 7th of Fbruary,
when it was towed to PHILADELPHIA by
the tug Meteor, Captain SulliIn.
There were several cases of mall-pox
on board when the boat arrted here
and was tied upto wharf, an yet, not
withstanding this, no inquiryvas made
relative to the sanitary corition of
those on board, and the caFain was
permitted to 90 wherever he pased in
the city without let or Intolerance,
scattering the seeds of disease md death.

look into this matter, but if twas not,
it is high time some one is appinted to
look after such cases.
If the smallpox can be broght here
in this manner, and it certainly was,

will not be introduced in the hme way.
