Taken From Life.


About forty years ago handsome
young Frenchman was at the head Of
an aristoeratice French school on the
Staten Island Hights, just back of New
Brighton. Among his pupils was tho
daughter of the naughty Bigelow fam
lily, then prominent in New York soci-
ETY.. To reduce n two-yolume romance
to paragraph, can only say that the
French professor fell in love with Miss
Bigelow, and she vowed she would
rather die and take her chances in the
other world than to live without him.
Her parents opposed and threatened,
and there were terrible times in the
social circles Of New York and Staten
Island. Finally the lovers settled the
difficulty by getting married. Miss
Bigelow was disinherited, Two lovely
cherubs brother and sister-were the
result of the marriage, and for once
love ran smoothly after marriage. Moth
ing, however, is certain in this Elusive
life both father and mother fell i'll and
died very suddenly. The two little or
phans We're taken to Boston and educat-
ed by wealthy relations of the family.
The girl grew up to independence and
struck out for herself. She became q
teacher, and for several years was Pro-
fcssor of elocution in Vassar College.
Her brother also disliked to be a burden
to his relatives, and when the war broke
ont he enlisted in the artillery service
and went away to fight for glory and
twenty-dollars a month. Not getting
killed he was able to return and
participate in the ways of peace.
In due time he found himself at the head
Of big manufacturing business in the
enterprising City of Chicago He was
also engaged to an accomplished young
lady, and Cupid sharpened his arrows
at her door. Prosperity seemed to have
a mortgage on their future, and all was
going well until the great fire reduced
everything to ashes. The flames were
bursting from the roof when the young
man reached his house. He saved but
one thing; it was a large painting of his
mother He buried it in the garden
amid showers of cinders. Then extin-
gushing his clothes which were on fire,
he drove to another house a mile away,
reaching it in time to rescue his sweet
heart. Their marriage soon followed.
/ have long been interested in the ca
reer of this young man. First he was
an engineer; then journalist; then a
miner in the lofty mountains in the San
Juan country; then an expert in Mexico
for Wall street syndicate, and at last
he found responsible position in a
wealthy powder company. He was
very successful, and he went out to SUI
perintend the blasting Of some iron
mines in Pennsylvania. To show the
superiority of his own powder over dy-
Mantle he used both compounds. The
dynamite exploded premalurely, and
when we stood by his coffin in Colum-
bus avenue, Boston, it seemed pitiful
that among all the people in this great
world life so young and full of prom
Use should be snuffed out like candle.
This death of William A. lie Row so
sudden, so unnecessary is another
proof of the treacherous, terrible power
of dynamite. r. Washington Capital.

ROCHESTER,, Minn., Aug. 23.-Thursday

an early hour strangers began to pour in

At the lowest estimate $50 houses are com
pletely destroyed, and fifty more are IN
rooted and otherwise damaged. Some
good judges place the number of houses
wrecked as high as 500. On the north side
of the railroad every house is damaged
There are twenty-six dead in the city of
Rochester tonight. Thirty-four wounded
are in the hospital, in the German Library
Associations building. Seventeen seri-
ously wounded are under the doctors care
in private houses. The citizens here are
doing nobly. Last night they worked
spontaneously as best they could. This
morning they organized relief
committee of twenty one, of which
Judge Start is chairman and Rev. w. G.
Rice, editor Of the Post, is secretary and
treasurer.
Subcommittee were appointed, as fol-
lows:
A finance committee which raised
$4,000 before p. m. to-day, in the city,
besides large contributions OF clothing and
provisions. 1t is only month since this
city raised $4,000 for the sufferers by the
cyclone at Elgin, besides clothing, etc.
A hospital committee, which has well
organized hospital, with surgeon-in-c chief
hospital steward, relays of nurses, corps of
physicians, and an abundant supply Of
cots, bedding, clothing etc.
sanitary committee which is provid-
ing food and lodging for all who need it,
of the thousand people made homeless.
A census committee, to ascertain accu-
rste1y the amount of the losses sustained,
and the condition and prospects of the
sufferers.
The citizens were greatly cheered by St.
Paul's generous response. Nothing had
been heard from Minneapolis at 10 p. NJ,
as yet.
The destruction was almost entirely
among the small homes of working men and
people of moderate means, in most cases,
probably, taking their all.
The completeness of the destruction is
almost incredible. Gen. Berry expressed
the opinion that out of the one hundred
and fifty or two hundred houses demolished
there could not DO collected good material
sufficient to build one. Trees are cut
squarely in two or violently wrenched to
pieces. Household furniture is reduced to
kindling.
Business has been at a complete stand
still to-day, every energy being bent to
caring for the dead and wounded
Reports from the surrounding country
indicate some twelve or fifteen killed and
perhaps as many wounded. The destrue-
ton of property in the track of the storm
is APPALLING, buildings, machinery, stock,
crops standing or harvested, have been
swept away.
The average width of the storm path was
probably three fourths of a mile. It was
wider in some sections,
Mr.. Bell and myself will probably re-
main here until Thursday noon.
The need Of assistance is great and ur-
gent. Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, HASTINGS 81. HART.
