Giving Up Fer Young Husband Just for
His FamiIy's Sake.


Six years ago, while the Theatre Conf
que was under the management of Jake
Budd and John Rogers, company Of bal
let dancers was engaged, one of whom
was known as frankie Christy. She was
short, stout and good looking, and was
an excellent dancer, and her graceful
manner and bewitching eyes captivated
the heart of Presley T. jenkins, a young
cadet and the son of an Ad22iral. She, on
her side, was willing enough to receive
his attentions. He was Of good family,
and appeared to have money enough and
to spare. The intimacy between the two
increased, and he used to wait every
night to see her to her home. One night he
made a declaration of his love. NOtwith-
standing the difference in their stations,
and the fact that Frankie was 40, as we'll
as fair and fat, while Jenkins was only in
his Goth year, she accepted him, and they
were married by DR.. Addison, an EpiscO-
palian minister.
The sensation in society circles which
followed this announcement was like the
explosion of a bomb. The young mans
family were astOunded and shocked. They
were in high station of life, and the fact
that the scion should have formed such an
attachment was too much for thsir sensi-
tive nerves. The Admiral held several in
terviews with the actress, but without
effect.
One day, however, he went to her rooms
and laid the matter before her. He told
her that his sons connection with her
would ruin not only his own prospects in
life, but those of his family, and implored
her for the sake of the love she professed
for him to renounce him. she has Sis
ter" said the old officer, 'whose engage
ment will be broken off if you do not do as
l wish" The reply she made recalls that
of Camille" under similar circum-
stances.
''Sir," said she, 81 can see that can
never be received into your family. l had
intended to renounce the stage and my
present life, and try to live differently;
but it seems no matter what'I may do, L
can never gain your esteem. 1 see this
Young man has made a mistake, and /
will not compel him to suffer for it.
will leave the city and go back to the
stage; but you must never let your son
see me again.
The same night she went West, where
she has since lived. Yesterday the tie
which bound the two was legally sepa-
rated, a divorce being granted on the
ground of desertiOn. When last heard
from she was dancing in a variety theatre
at Butte City, Montana.

'What abodt the stories floating about
the country to the effect that you are
personal friend of President-elect Cleve-
land, and so bitter Democrat that you
refused to mention Lincoln's name in
your pulpitY
"There is not a word of truth in either"
he smiled, ''and L am glad to have the
opportunity to deny the last mentioned,
at least. have no recollection of Grover
Cleveland, though knew his family well
and was 10y with his elder brother. OF
course did see him, often, but i cannot
remember him at all, as there was con-
siderable difference in our ages. AS to
the Wher story, it is absurdly untrue, and
grows out of a communication written by
some anonymous correspondent to one of
the city papers, complaining because, in
a sermon upon Washington, l aid not
chance to mention the name of Lincoln,
Instead OF being bitter Democrat, as the
story alleges, am, and always have
been. Republican in sentiment, and
should have voted for Blaine at the last
election if I had had the opportunity.
though don't suppose that fact will at
all disturb the relations which are to ex-
! ist between Mr., Cleveland and myself"

HUNTING A CssOLERA GERM.
An Exciting Chase VI the Only Comma
Bacillus in This Country,

An Exciting Chase VI the Only Comma
Bacillus in This Country,
Dr.. Edward o. Shakespeare, says the
Philadelphia Press Of Dec. Is, has the
only specimen of the comma bdcIIgs, or
Asiatic cholera germ, in America. 1t is
securely Gagged in a glass jar and the lii is
covered an inch deep with sealing wax
1t is kept locked in little cabinet in Cr.
Sh4kespeaTe's consulting-TeOm. A few
days ago it was exhibited st a meeting CT
the County Medical Society and its own
er was jokiHgly admOnished not to let it
escape, as in the open air microbes are
said to multiply at the rate OF I,OOO,OOO
day. The comma bacillus WAS wagging
it's tail in quite . lively manner, as If
eager Tor liberty. IL beat its head against
the glass and swan all around the jar
looking for sonae aperture By which 1t
might regain the open air. IT. was cap
tired about three months ago in France.
During it's confinement it has lived on
piece of dried beef about the size of a pea.
Yesterday morning DIR. Shakespeare
was entertaining a practitioner from
Pottsvills, and as an intellectual treat he
offered TO show him the only cholera
germ on this side of the Atlantic. At
first the country doctor felt nervous, but
after a while his fears were overcome and
the Jar was produced. suddenly the
owner of the mieTObe uttered an eXclama-
ton of surprise and alarm. The germ was
nowhere to be found. The jar was emp
ty.
''The durned things escaped, shouted
| the man frem POttsVille. Then he add
ed with excitement: ''What does it look
/ likeT"
'FOr all the world like a tadpOle,"
answered the doctor, breathlessly, hard
| Iy knowing why the question was put.
"Only smaller"
In a moment the Pottsvillian's head
was under the table. He painted out to
DR.. Shakespeare's request to shut the
door and then commenced to seOur the
room for the micrObe.
elf the thing gets out" he said, pale
with fright, |'the cholera will be here and
It'll be our fault"
"Pve got it," suddenly cried DIR.
Shakespeare. who, while the hunt was
progressing, had returned to the bottle
and taken another peep. The microbe had
climbed up to the top Of the jar and was
hidden in a crevice between the lid and
the neck.
The gentleman from POttsville threw
himself back in chair and took ten min
Utes to recover his breath. Then he eau
tiouslg examined the object of his search.
''YOu'd better kill it," he suggested.
That's good idea,'' the owner of the
germ exclaimed. Then with a powerful
chemical he deprived the dangerous or.
gansm of life, so that his neighbOrs may
no longer be haras sed with dread of its
getting its liberty.

carries with him to his House services
considerable of be Episcopal forms, she
prayers being eact day selected from the
collect and mepogized for the opening
service. He of course Omits the surplicer
but aside from this the service is in the
church form, the two brief ''collects"
being followed by the A0rd's Prayer and
the brief benediction. Chaplain Huntley
of the Senate, who is a Methodist, follows
no particular form, masing his prayer
brief. The nu4nber listening to his open
ing services in the Senate is usually
email compared with those N the House,
where the attendance at the opening hour
usually reaches pretty nearly hundred,
while in The Senate it is often no more
than dozen. AUSTEN.

Mr.. Bartlets's observation regarding
church gOers and church members in
/ public life, is cOrrobOTated by talks with
+ the chaplains of the Senate and House
/ i am gratiied to find so large a number
4 Of people in public life who are church
/ members and church gOers," said Rev.
E. b. Huntley, the chaplain OF the Senate
and pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist
/ Church, 81 find strongly marked feeling
of respect for religion as a motive power
for good among public men generally.
/ Ihere are number OF church members,
too, in the Senate. Mr.. Edmunds. the
presiding officer Of the Senate, is an ac-
tive member Of the Episcopal Church. a
member of its General Assembly. and a
deVout man. He always says Amen at
the end of the prayer, out loud toe. Sena-
tor COIquitt is a Methodist, while his col
league, Senator Brown. is a Baptist.
Senators Hampton and Butler. of South
Carolina, are, | am told. members of the
Episcopal Church, as is Senator Peudle-
ton. Senator Logan is q Methodist. So
is Senator Warner Miller"
Chaplain Lindsay, of the House, finds
his observation quite corresponding with
those of the gentlemen mentioned above.
Quite large percentage of the House
membership he mentions as members of
churches, the fact having come incident
ally to his notice, in most cases, by the
voluntary statement of the members
themselves. They often come to me
after the services at the opening of the
House," he said, ''and talking of this or
that subject. tell me Of their church con-
nections. Yes, L find my connection with
the House very pleasant enc, and the
regard shown for Christianity very graft
flying. Only a day or two ago l took a
friend into the gallery before the opening
services took place, and he told me after
ward that he was surprised to see the indI-
cation of respect and reverence from the
large number of members present. There
are a good many active Christian
men among the members of the House.
Mr.. Hunt, of Louisiana, for instance, is a
member of the Episcopal Church and also
a member of the General Convention.
Mr.. Breckenridge is a Presbyterian, hav-
ing been, l understand, educated for the
ministry. Mr.. BagleY is a member of the
Episcopal Church. Mr.. Buckner, of Mis-
souri,, is Presbyterian. Mr.. Brodhead
is a member of the Episcopal Church, as
is Gov. Dorsheimer, too. Mr.. LeFevTe is
Catholic, Gov. Long a Unitarian, Gen.
King, of Louisiana, an Episcopalian, Mr..
Money, of Mississippi, a member of the
Disciples Church, as is Mr., Willis, of
Mr.. Maybury an EpiscOpalian, and men,
Der of the Bishops Council. O'Hara, the
cOlOred member is a Catholic, Poland a
COngregatiOnalist, Gen. ROsecrans a
Catholic, Randolph Tucker a Presby-
terrain elder, MIR. Scales a Presbyterian,
Mr.. Summer an EpiscOpalian, Mr.. Vance
Methodist and a member of the confer
ence, and Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia,
an active Baptist,

LEGISLATIVE CHAPLAINS.
So A MINUTE PAID THE REV.
EREND GENTLEMEN.

Cleveland's Presence to Somewhat
Swell the Attendance at the New York
Avenue Presby terrain Church-Creeds
of Former Presidents and Some of the
shrines at Which They WOrshipped.
COrresDoHd6ace Of tie 1foyling Eears.
EASHINGTON,D Dec. 10.-Tho announce
ment that President Cleveland is to at
tend the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church of this city directs attention Just
now to a trio of reverend gentlemen WHO
are to do the praying for this great gov
eminent in the next four years. 1t is
something Of a stretch of Imagination to
assume that the present Chaplains of
House and Senate are to do the praying
for those bodies during the four years to
come, yet it is pretty safe to assume that
they are each good for a two wears term
in addition to the one they are now enIOy-
ing, for they are popular with the men,
bers, and as there is no change in the pol
itics OF the next House or Of the Senate
in the next Congress, there is likely to be
no change. Not that there are not plenty
of applicants for these places. On the
contrary, there are numbers of reverend
gentlemen watching them enviOusly at
the present moment and wishing
they might be so fortunate as to
drop into this comfortable berth.
True, the position of Chap
lain only pays 5000 per year, but when it
is considered that the service only occu-
pies about one and a half minutes per
day, or, in other words, that the reverend
gentlemen get the snug sum of about So
minute for their services, it is seen that
the place is rather a desirable one.
Indeed, there is usually a good deal of
rivalry for the places, and often as many
as dozen or more candidates. AT the
last election of officers of the House there
were twenty-three candidates for Chap
lain. The present occupant of that posi-
don, however, Rev. j. S. Lindsay, who is
rector OF st. Johns Episcopal Church in
Georgetown, had many warm friends in
the city who electiOneered stoutly for him.
Numbers of ladies, among them the mis-
tress of "Stuart Castle" Mrs. ex-senator
Stuart, worked industriously for him,
driving about in their carriages and OBJ
tanning pledges from members to vote for
him. AT the Senate the Chaplain, Rev.
E. b. Huntley. is quite as popular, and tits
therefore pretty safe to look to these, with
Rev. w. A. Bartlett, as the triangular
official prayer gauge of the next admins
ration.

HOA GEE CHUNG.
The Dark " avs and Vain Tricks of a
IN snese Actor.

Ch snese Actor.
The joke of CHI atoWn for the last two
weeks, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
has been the way in wh. ich the celebrated
Celestial actor, Hoa Gee chung, who was
arrested and placed in charge of j. j.
MalOney, put another Gilman, an in his
place. Hoa Gee Chung is the Nc ngOlian
who came on the Arabic on her last trip,
and without a certificate landed, goIrfAr on
shore in the clothes of the steward, with a
tin pail in his hand. Carroll Cook, VITA
MaIoney, the amateur detective, went to-
the Chinese theatre several weeks ago and
arrested HOa Gee Chung. The prisoner
was left in charge of MalOney while Car
roll Cook went after hack TO convey the
actor to the Commissioners Office. While
the amateur detective was sWirling his
moustache and ''OratiRg' to the astonished
Orlentals, HCa Gee Chung stepped to
one side and an obscure co0lie took
MS place. The substitute was taken
to the Commissioners Office and
released on bail. Conclusive evil
dence was prepared to show that he was
not Hoa Gee Chung, the actor, and on
that ground his friends intended to ask
Tor his dismissal. The farce that the
actor had played as the expense of Ma
ioney was reported to Carroll Cook, who
Had Ihe ITlaI OF the lmpOster postponed till
he could secure the arrest of the right
man: Last evening, in company with a
number OF Chinatown detectives, he went
to the Chinese theatre On jackson street,
and, with diagram of the dark passages.
IN his hand, he found his way to little
room above the theatre, where Hoa Gee
Chung was dressing in most elaborate
costume for the play. The actor was ar
rested. In a moment she room was
fl06 VRvfNh III M
Cook kept his grip on Hoa and took him
to the Commissioners office, where the
actor admitted that he was the man who
escaped from the Arabic.
