ROMANCE OF A WEALTHY WIDOW.

Waterbury. Conn. Special N. Y. World
Social circles are interested and consider
ably agitated over the wedding of Mrs. Nellie
G. Bloss, young, wealthy, and fascinating
widow, with Charles II. Tsdale, formerly
barber. Mrs. Boss' father, Sherman Feun,
a rich grocer, who had refused to sanction
the wedding, died on Wednesday last, aud
yesterday the couple were united in marriage
The wedding recalls some romantic epso les
in the life OF the bride. AS a girl, Miss
Nellie Fem was one OF the bellies of this city
and prospective heiress to large wealth.
Her first husband was Walter F. Bloss, who
fell desperately in love with her or her mon
ey. unfortunat ely, however, he was be
trothed to handsome and worthy woman,
whose on " drawback was that she had no mon
ey and wo: ked in a store. Mr.. Bloss looked
iongingly toward the Fem inheritance, and
finally, as he said, left his decision To prayer.
After the prayer he arose firmly convinced
that he should marry Miss Fem, which he
straightway did. But death overlook him
quickly, before it did the old gentleman, and

arrow. This time it was the poor journey
man barber, Charles II. Tisdale Tisdale
was advanced to employment in her fathers
establishment; but this made trouble with
the business, and the head clerk resigned on
account Of it. Thereupon Tisdalc was pro-
NOTED TO that position. Here Mr.. Fen n
found he had made n mistake, and positive
~ refused young Tisdale the hand of his
daughter in marriage. Meanwhile, rumor
has it, Tsdale subsisted largely on Mrs.
Bloss' liberality. The old man died. as stat

Mrs. Bloss yesterday morning.

used cautiously, as it contains a powerful
drug---to wit, morphia. Ten or twelve
grains of Dover's powder taken In Cruel at

opium, which should never be given them

great royal households after the fashion OF
English sovcreigus and noble people, He
has household worship conducted hy his prl-

in his religious observances at home and in
public. He is constant attendant at church
worship, and, as all gentlemen do, he con
forms 10 the religion Of genteel society,
whatever that may be, wherever he is. What
ever iuidels and unbelievers and radicals
may be morally, usually they are somewhat
socially vulgar. Tae Prince OF Wales is not
socially vulgar, but be is par excellence a
gentleman. But he does not read proper
Sunday school books, and does not go to Mr..
Surgeons prayer-meetng. lie is neither

the fashion of his own manhood iu not doing

outdoor life. The men who love
dogs. horses and racing are his
companions. More than this, he does just
as he has a perfect right TO do; he has about
his royal person the gentlemen and ladies
whom he likes and loves. He simply does
what every man aud woman does who can,
and that is be has about him congenial
people. These are always persons Of birth
and breeding. The advantages and felicity
of his station give him the choice Of bis
companions, and so he is saved from the
society Of Doors aud the vulgar.

''We shouil look to the protection OF our
forests" 1 a well-known builder recently
In conversation with reporter for the Nal
md Express. ''When you consider that the
United States and Canada have sunk in the
scale OF timber shipping from the first place
to about the twentieth, you will agree with
me. Sweden and Norway once were re-
gar1ed as inexhaustibe sources OF supply,
now we have TO import oak from Poland.
Northern Russia was once covered by forests
from the Baltic to the Ural Mountains. Now
1t is SO bare that st. Petersburg gets all of her
heavy timber from counties east Of the en-
pire. The Finland forests, once so vast that
it was thought tllt they would last forever,
have been nearly cleared away. The forests
at VstuIa and the Mcniau. considered as
the source Of supply for the great Memel
trade, have diminished to such an extent
that 1t is hard to get an order flied at Kon-
igsbcrg, Tresit or Dantzig."
''But Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain
have immense Forests
True, but think how difficult and expen
sive it Is TO get to them. Germany has
about 30, 000. 900 acres of timber land. Aug
tri about As, 900, 600. Most of this, however,
is in Bohemia, Gallicia and Pennsylvania,
aud unavailable for European markets.
Italy owns some $4,000, 600 acres, but it is
hard TO get. Spain possesses forest land NJ
$780, 900 acres. and Portugal 1000, 600.
These countries are about the only oues

News
Protec. Us from Cattra Disease.


The Northern Pacific road has received
numerous inquiries for rates that would
admit of the importation Of Texan steers,
yearlings and two year olds from Texas to
Montana and West Dakota. From ibforma-
ton received it Is evident that from 100, 600
to SOC, 600 head Of this years stock will be so
transported or driven this year from Texas
to the northern territories. 1t is claimed by
the stockmen that something should be done
to prevent these cattle from communicating
any infectious disease. 1t is well known that
they carry along with them q disease that
is in the hair, which is so infectious that if
herd of these cattle pass through the trans
fer and another herd that is healthy passes
through the same transfer, the latter Is sure
to become inoculated. The same cars can
not be used for both kinds, and no amount
OF fumigation will remove the cause of the
trouble. There is good deal Of alarm about
the matter among stock men, a3d it is I'M
derstood that bills are to be presented In
Minnesota and Dakota providing for
quarantine of sixty or ninety days. This will
prevent the shipping Of the Texans in large
numbers. The Northern Pacific is expect
ing to transport a large number of state
''dogies" to Montana and Western Dakota.
If the bills above alluded to do not pass, the
company would be proven ted from shipping
the ''pilgrim" stock. The road would be
compelled to confne the shipping to either
one kind or the other of the stock.

A well informed railroad official stated
yesterday that the death of S. s. Merrill

tons. ut is well known" he said, ''tha:
Mr.. Mitchell has always declared that as long
as he was president of the road. tue Fargo
Southern should never be incorporated into
the Milwaukee & St. Paul system, notwith-
standing that the money Of the Milwaukee Il
st. Paul built It; that the friendship that has
existed for many years between Mitchell and
Merrill vas very strong. so that if Merrill
should die, Mr.. Mitchell would resign the
presidency; that if he should his successor
might take in the Fargo ,uthtrn, and opcr-
ate it as a part of the st. Paul system. Then
you will see music all along the line. Just
as soon as this is done you will see the Chi
cago & Northwestern and the Chicago, Rock

Col. Allen explained to the committee that

opinion il would be difficult TO hold the re-

that there was no wafer On the upper floors,
In view Of which big party could not be
fed.
Aid. Van Syke said It was the only place
whore the reception could be held.
Mayor O'Rrirp was 81 the same opinion,

The One Gny Mrs. SDicer.

From Late New York Letter.
1t was one very hot Sunday morning about
ten years ago that the stiffness of Eleventh
street, near Sixth avenue, was broken by a
mans voice crying from the second story of
a handsome house for help. Neighbors
rushed in, and they found the gentleman
who owned the dwelling in the agonies of
death. A colored boy servant and geomet-
rical, beetle-hrowed wife were the only other
occupants. The man who died was a Mr..
Spicer. a noted horseman, who had brother
and the brother was on friendly terms with
his sister in-law UP to few weeks after the
broth er's death; when coming into posses
sion Of all the property he disowned the
widow, ran her off and went his way unmo-
Tested, she being seen no more. That Sun
day morning was the last for Mr.. Spicer.
He had been a little off, and sent TO Sixth
avenue drug store for q seidtz powder, and
Mrs. Spicer had taken it from the colored
boys hand, gone into the bathroom, pre-
pared it and carried it to Mr.. Spicer in the
front room. That gentleman swallowed the
dose and almost Immediately cried out in
agony and died in ten minutes after its ar
rival in his stomach. Chemical analysis OF
the drugs in the glass showed that be had
taken enough strychnine to kill ten men.
All the seidlitz powders in the drugmans
place were analyzed-they were smpl BIZ
carbonate OF soda and tartaric acid. No
strychnine appeared in any Of them. The
woman was arrested, but the evidence did
not warrant the authorities in holding her.
and she was released. But without sign or
token she drifted away and the brother took
possession of the properly. Here the other
day, at country hotel, the housekeeper
paased through the parlor on some domestic
errand-a gaunt, harsh, grizzle.l woman who
looked as if life had no charms for her-and
| recognized the one-time very gay Mrs.
Spicer, of West Eleventh street, in the poor,
old, faded servant.
