The Strange and Pathetic Story o

His Invalid Wife.
Peoria Glls) Journal
Capt. John Hall received brief telegram
from Ardmore, Pa, recently, announcing
the death Of Carrie Burdette, the wife Of
Robert j. Burdette, the famous humorist
Her death occurred at o'clock in the morn.
ing Mrs. Burdette was the daughter Of Auren
Garrett, Of this city, and was married to
Burdette some fifteen years ago Her father
was opposed to Bob, and he made the course
OF true love OF the young couple anything
but smooth. Bob was q clerk in the postoffice
at that time, and Carrie was a lovely young
lady, but with a will of her own that more
than matched that of her father.
One day the old man commanded her &c
discard Bob She refused, and violent
alteration ensued. Carrie had an unde-
fined trouble with her heart that this precip-
itated. She was stricken down with a spasnl.
They sent for Bob, and he found her pale
and lfeless on the sofa. Here she managed
to express wish that they might be married
before she died, and clergyman was sen
for. The marriage of the great humoris
was celebrated amid tears and signs, the
orange blossoms absent, and only the pallor

A DESTITUTE WOMAN.
Those who arc Ready to Give Thanks
Should he Ready to Give Sub
stantiaIs Also,

The attention Of THE BEE was called
yesterday to a woman named Mrs, lib.
Ter, who lives at No. 507 onupper Broad
way. From what could be learned from
the neighbors and from herself, it appears
that she is a widow with one child, aged
about two years. She has managed by
hard work to support herself and child in
a scanty way, but lately was taken sick
and helpless. She has been actually suf.
ferIng for food and fuel, and an appeal
to the county finally resulted in her be-
ing given q stove, but during the cold
weather of late she has been without
fuel, and her only means of keeping her
little child warm was to keep it In bed.
The neighbors have had their attention
called TO the case, and some of them have
been trying to get some relief for the
from the county, and
have been themselves sending in
food and fuel. The county physician is
now attending her, but there are many
necessities, not to speak of ldxuries,
which she should have. Some of the
neighbors feel that the county should
make better provisions for such cases,
but while official action is always slow
and very economical In such cases, the
woman and her child should not be al
lowed to suffer in such a land of plenty,
and the generous.h hearted citizens should
supply her wants before they content
themselves in sitting down to we'll
spread boards, and returning thanks.

The Rev. DR.. McCrary, of the Broad
way M. e. church, or the religious editor
Of the BEE mangled Bobbie Burns""Tan
O'Shanter" In the Sabbath discourse or
the subject, 'Is Life Worth Living?
In Its report of the sermon the Bel
quotes DR.. McCrary as saying:
Take Robert Burns who sang the heart
Of Scotland In those strains the world
will never let die. He was a man de.
voted to earthly pleasures, and at last he
says they are
Like sunbeams falling on the river,
One momeut bright, then gone forever"
Burns never made such an allusion tc
the sunbeams. He did refer to the evan
escent nature of pleasure in the follow
ing lines:
cor, like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white, then lost for ever;
Or, like the rainhow's lovely form
Evanishing amid the storm"
Burns was a practical fellow and would
probably have objected to such q
naturalization of the sunbeams. -Coun,
Gil Bluffs Nonpareil.
But it has been mangled just about
as badly by the above critic. Burns re-
ferred to the evanescent nature of pleas.
ure as follows:
''Or, like the snow fall in the river,
A moment white, then melts forever"
Not lost, while we believe gone Is as
fully appropriate a substitute for melts,
as the word lost.
In justice to DIR. McCreary the re-.
porter freely admits that he failed to
hear Alright, and not being very familiar
with the quotation, reported it as above,
contrary to the manner in which it was
quoted. REPoRrEk.
