AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Mr.. Converse Finally Secures the Woman Of
His Choice--Romance in Real Life.

HARTFORD June Con Tuesday last w. w.
Converse, president of the Winchester Arms
Company, a well-preserved gentleman of fifty
years, was quietly married to Miss Belle Spen-
Ger, of this city, lady of about the same age.
There is a romance connected with this affair
which more closely resembles the novelist's
ideal than is usual in real life. Thirty years
ago the bride was girl of twenty. Her father,
Edwin A. Spencer, was proprietor of new hotel,
now known as the Revere House After few
months he died, and the widow opened board
ing house. Among those who sat at her table
was young gentleman of twenty years, Mr..
Converse, recently from Ware, Mass, who was
employed by Woodruff & Beach. An affection
sprang up between the young man and Miss
Belle, and he preached the subject of marriage.
She confessed that she was not averse to
him, but told him plainly that marriage
was then impossible, as she had made it
her life duty to remain with her mother,
and, as the oldest daughter, to give her aid and
counsel in keeping together the fatherless family
of mother, sister, who was but child, and a
younger brother. William Spencer, her uncle,
commended her determination and sustained her
in it, Young Converse pleaded without avail,
and lovers quarrel ensued. Within a short
time he removed to New Haven, maintained
DrleI correspondence, ana unally discontinued
ii. Mr.. Converse went into the lumber business
in New Haven and made money. A few years
passed and he married Miss Pardee, whose
sister had married into the family of the Win
chesters, interested in gun manufacture. Mr..
Converse on a visit to Hartford with his bride.
called at the residence of Miss Spencer and
was received pleasantly. She had no words
of blame to utter. She was doing her duty as
she understood it, and he had been free to
pursue his own course. The years rolled on,
and Mr.. Converse, a busy man, heard little
from the Spencer family. Once the report
reached him that Miss Belle was dead, and he
heard no correction of it. Mrs Spencer during
all this time, maintained her little family by
keeping boarders. and Miss Belle, now advanc
ing in years, was her right hand and her helper.
Last November Mrs. Spencer died at the adj
vanced age of seventy eight. Miss Belle was
married Mr.. A. p. Brown, whose home was
there About three years ago Mr. Converse lost
his wife by DEATH but it was not until the time

CoLoRED BOYS AT WEST POINT.
Progress of Alexander and Young-Whittake

Progress of Alexander and Whitaker
Admitted to the Bar.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June Word comes from
West Point to the effect that the colored cadets
there, Alexander and Young, are well up in their
classes. and that they are very well treated by
their classmates. 1t is not likely that the Flip
per or Whitaker cases will be repeated in these
young men, The fact that there are colored
cadets at West Point and that they have fair
prospect of entering the army as commits
stoned officers is an excellent sign for
the country. Whitaker, by the way, who be-
came quite notorious few years ago, has just
been admitted to practice at the bar of South
Carolina The young man has a well developed
brain, and if he has got over the idea that he is
a martyr, which was his great drawback three
years ago, he will no doubt succeed For some
thing like two years he has been conducting a
military academy for colored youth, in Charles
ton and it is said that in all respects except the
one of finance, the academy has been an eminent
success.

aside, the society is quite az good rs you will

English and French, but think it probable that
her domestic duties may now prevent her doing
so. Most Europeans send their children to
Europe for education. There is library in III.
b. M. legations also in the government
of midas telegraph Office. The climate Is
mild, and even hot in summer Prevalent
diseases are fevers. Exposure to the sun must
be avoided with great care. With ordinary pre-
cautions the climate may be said to be healthful.
1t is less healthful for young children than
FOR adults. There are some fair roads about Te-
heran. and carriages are common. You will need
one Immediately on arrival there.
THE method ofliving is essentially European
FOR all foreigners. There is an abundance Of all
kinds of fruits, grapes. oranges, figs, lemons.

country, except cora. AS to people. you will
have no end of social relations with the officers
of the Persian governments. AS to clothing, 1t is
better to purchase either here or IN London.
Buy one or two helmets for yourself and wife in
London, to protect from the sun. Dress suits
cannot be had in Teheran. but common goods
can be had if needed. Take a good stock of
lannes. There are several shops in
Teheran to supply Europeans, and there
are many tailors But ladies should
obtain their best wardrobe in Amer

well stocked. The expense Of living is much
greater than it is in America especially for
representative. With reference to that can
only say that while l think all men ought to be
content with moderate living, yet if you keep
up an establishment which will be considered
respectable by other legations and by Persians,
you will need lots of money. If you value the
comfort of your family and your own peace Of
