The story Of Bob nuraet.s,s woolng.

Peoria (IU) journal.
Capt. John Hall received brief telegram
from Ardmore, Pa, this morning, nnnounc-
ing the death Of Carrie Burdette, the wife Of
Robert j. Burdette, the famous humorist.
Her death occurred at O'Clock this morning,
Mrs. Burdette was The daughter of Aurcn
Garrett uf this city, and was married to Bur
d etto somo fifteen years ago. Her father "
opposed TO Bob, and he made the course nl
true love Of tho youn couple anything but
smooth. Bob was a clerk in the postoflice vt
that time and Carrie was lovely young
lady, but with will Of her own that
more than matched that Of her father.
Ono day the old man commanded
her to discard Bob Sho refused, and
violent alteration cnsued. Carrie had an
underlined trouble with her heart that this
procipitated. She was stricken down with
spasm. They sent for Bob, and he found her
pale aud lifeless on the sofa Here she
managed TO express q wish that they might
be married before she died, and clergyman
was sent for. The marriage Of the great
humorist was celebrated amid tears and
sighs, tho orange blossoms absent, aud only
tho pallor of dying face looking out from
the heap of pillows. Strange to say she inn
regained her strength; with it, however.
was IN unaccountable malady. 1t
began with strange numbness at the
ends of the fingers, then the flesh fell
away, and the joints became bont and dis
torted, and the hands grew like like birds
claw, being doubled up, stiff and useless.
Her feet and legs underwent the same meta
morphosis, leaving her confirmed invalid,
without the use Of any Of her limbs In this
condition she was the inspiration of her hus-
bands muse-the critic who spurred him to
his task and helped him on in tho right di-
rection. Most Of his humorous efforts were
written by the side Of her cradle, for she
could not sit up, and he had to feed her and
lift her in his arms as If she were an infant.
She was woman possessed Of great literary
ability, and all his efforts were undertaken
in accordance with her wishes. In fact, he
would never have attempted the lecture field
at all If she had not urged him to it, and sus-
tanned him many a time when he was dis
couraged.

pected that several chorus cholrs of 100 voices
will be organized. The praise meeting last
night was an Inception to the proposed winter
chorus choir organizations. Conventions will
be held for five days with three sessions each
day.
Mr. LeSlie is gentleman of high musical
culture, and is tho author OF "Leslie's Hal.
lence" "The Conqueror," and "rhe Chapel

harmony and precision in time that elected

Mr.. Leslie was successful in awakening the
interest of tho large audience in music, and
said he had meyer heard better congregational
! singing. This is one of his objects in orgsniz'
