MISS MoRoslNrs MARRIAGE.
Serious Effect of 1t on Her Family
Alleged Esiackmaii

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Mr Morosini whose
daughter eloped, has sold his horses and other
private property, and is going to leave for
Europe in fifteen days.
1t is stated that the death of Mrs Morasin
is expected every moment. DR.. Sprync,e
and Father Elwell are with the dying
woman.
Insiders, who are familiar with the
Morosini family, declare now that the eloye-
ment is really a dastardly piece of work of a
very low fellow. They say that Victoria,
the oldest daughter, has always been of weak
mind, and that this has been known to the
servants and family, and that this is the
reason she has never been allowed to go out
in society. The grief of the father is pitiable
All day he sits at his parlor window at Yon
kers, looking up the broad avenue, as il
waiting for Victoria to return. He moans
and cries by turns, and is really heart
broken

EDITOR men, as a general thing, do not
figure to very dazzling degree as society
ornaments. The term society" is not
used here in its broad, domestic sense,
but refers to that peculiar upper crust of
the social structure, better known, prob.
ably, as "sussiety." 1t is supposed to
cultivate solely the amenities of life; to
skim its cream and cul! its lilies, without
being put to the necessity of driving
home its COWS or delving its soil In
this department of worldly being, we
reiterate, the average editor man is not
seen to his best advantage. From the
porter until he leaves it to furnish ban ,
quet for the graveyard worm he lives on
darker aspects. He begins with reporting
the miseries found in police courts, and
he dwells on the ward caucus with his
latest breath Sometimes ray of light
floods his soul, as when, for instance. he
finds at the end of the week he has
enough sesterces on hand, after all hands
are paid, to warrant his introduction to a
jack pot, but it comes SO seldom that
it makes him sick and he is glad when it
clouds up again. These are the lines
which the fates have marked out for the
craft as an aggregation. Its gratifying,
however, to note that the fairies have a
favorite or two in the profession. The
grandest fete ever witnessed at Newport,
K. L., that centre of summer fashion and
dog day follies, was given recently
by Jim Bennett. of the New York
Herald. He had as guests President Ar.
thus, Admiral Commerel, and all the Off
GERS of the ships of the North Atlantic
squadron, in full uniform, making bril-
liant spectacle. In addition, there were
present the cottagers and their wives, and
guests from the hotel, making fully ,00C
in all. Two bands of mnsic enlivened the
scene The spacious grounds were bril-
liantly lighted by electricity and the tents

EVEN the sedate watermelon Is not free
from the vanities of fashion, after it gets
into the hands of the sons and daughters
OF men. What are supposed to be i'm
proyements have been made in this mod
est vegetable this year by giving it a
vanilla or lemon flavor. This is done
by injecting the extract of vanilla or in
serting bit of lemon peel into the stem
while the melon is growing. Another
delectabe way of treating the melon is to
plug it and pour in glass or two OF
claret wine, and letting it stand for few
hours. The pulp absorbs the wine, and
the epicure can take his stimnlant in
chunks. Another new dish is watermel
on salad. The pulp of the melon is
chopped up fine, to which is added salt
pepper, vinegar and oil. In Baltimore
the melon is cut into round slices, ovel
each of which tablespoonful of molasses
is poured. In Boston it is cut into long
narrow strips and eaten with cold bakej
beans. Despite all these new idiosyncra'
cies of the palate the watermelon viii
continued to be loved for itself alone, and
when its sting is felt, it will double a man
up as Of yore.

HAROLD c. DE WOLFE, a youth of good

of the stage. 1t seems he captivated a
pretty comic opera prima donna, Miss
Bebe Vining, whom her associates char
acterize rs pure and perfect little lady,
married her, and the couple took bridal
trip to Montreal. De Wolfe represented
himself as a rich mans son and heir, and
he had the knack of borrowing money to
keep up appearances. He took luxurious
apartments at the Montreal hotel, bought
q costly piano for his bride, treated the
fellows to wine and dinners, played bll
lizards and exhibited all the external evid-
ences of nabob. He glittered and his

parently no end At length some of his
high-life bills had to be paid or cause
shown. He wrote drafts on New York
which were dishOnOred, and then he tele-
praphed his father for funds and the reply
he got was: Have no money for insane
sons or their deluded victims" That set
tied his financial status in Montreal, and

bride and put in prison cell-as a swind-
dler. Mrs. De Wolfe went back to New

Woman and Newborn Child
Similarly Marked,

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 15.-About tive
months ago this city was startled by report
that Mrs. Jennie Rose had been shot dead by
burglar. The family consisted of Charley
Rose, his wife Jennie, who was an invalid,
and Miss Nancy Frazier, a cousin of Mrs.
Rose, who was in the house as help Miss
Frazier stated that she was awakened by the
sharp report of pistol; that as her eyes
opened figure rushed by her, blowing out
the light as he did so, and, jumping out of a
window, escaped. Arising from the bed, she
went to the bedside of Mrs. Rose, and placing
her hand upon that ladys head, she was
shocked to feel the clammy touch of human
blood. Mrs, Rose uttered "Ohl OH" and ex-
pired. The bullet had entered her eye, and
passing through the brain, lodged in the
head. The husband, who was an cmploye of
the Air Line road was sent for, but mani
tested no surprise when shown the dead body
of his wife.
As daylight appeared and people began TO
talk, there were those who discredited the
theory of burglary There were many rea-
sons rendering the burglar theory improba-
bic. Suspicion naturally fell upon the hus-
band and upon Miss Frazier. Who else could
have a motive in removing the wife? The
couple were arrested rs was also Miss Suggs,
with whom it was claimed that Rose had
been intimate. Both girls denied bitterly
that they knew anything of the affair After
a series Of examinations, running into weeks,
attended with many dramatic episodes, Rose
was dismissed. SO far the character of Miss
Frazier had not been successfully attacked,
nor was any improper intimacy with Rose
established. Still public opinion insisted that
Rose and Miss Frazier had conSpred to re-
move the woman vino stood in the way of
their desires.
One night last week Dr. Carter was hur-

reaching his destination he found a Dung
woman who was suffering fearful convul

could to relieve the sufferer Whom the child
was born it was found to have one eye, tn,

the appearance Of a deep bullet wound
In a few minutes the child died.
The mother still suffered, and hon

o'clock next morning she died also, and in the
evening mother and child were both buried
in the same rude coffin. The woman was
