Mr.. Clarence Montgomery stood like
one suddenly petrified, as he read these
words slowly, over and over. once,
twice, thrice; then he turned away
with q groan Of despair.
"Great Heaven!' he murmered brok-
enly; ''it does not seem possible! She,
my wife, upon whose purity and inno-
cence would have staked my future
existence. Falsep No; cannot be-
lieve it. Yet this note is in her hand

he added sharply. crushing the little
note into his pocket with vehement
emphasis as he spoke: ~ will be at the
upper city at three, and will face her
with her perfidy. But, oh. Ethel
Ethel! my wife! 1t Is worse than death
itself to doubt her!'
He was turning away from the hand
some apartment, which was fitted up as
q study, when light football paused at
the door, and Ethel Montgomery en-
tered the room.
She was the impersonation OF in
nocence. No deceit lurked in her soft
blue eyes, and tlere was something
child-like and contiding in the sweet
youthful face.
She came to his side. and her soft
white arms went around his neck,
while her blue eyes met his with low
ing gaze.
He started in surprise.
Could this be guilsp Yet there, In
her own handwriting, was the promise
to meet PAUL. at three. The words
Of the letter seemed TO burn his heart
as they lay against 1t.
A sudden impulse prompted him.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
prints some interesting "reminiscences Of the
career Of Robert Bonner, the New York

used to be compositor in the Tribune Of

He is very benevolent:man. Bonner"
says the New York correspondent Of the
Galveston News, "lent to Charles A. Dana
the money that enabled Mr.. Dana to par-
chase his share Of the stock in the Sun,
and the two have been the best Of friends
ever since Alter the Sun had been going
under the new management for q time,

Amos Cunfinins, then the Suns msnag.
ing editor, went to Bonner and
said See here, Robert, here is the
Sun going to be a big paying con-
cern, and have no stock in it. Why
can't you buy me some, and let me pay
you for it when CAM Cummings and
Bonner had set type in the same alley in
the Tribune office, and Bonner liked him.
He told Cummings that he would lend him
enough 20 buy ten shares, but as they
were selling at $780, Cummings did not
care to assume SO much, and they finally
agreed on five shares. When it came to
the transfer Of the money, Cummings be-
gan to talk about borrowing money on the
shares and making part payment to Bon
ner, but the latter simply said No, will
lock them up in my safe, and you may pay
me for them out of the dividends they
earn In three years they had paid for
themselves, and Cummings took them un'
der his wing. In three years more they
we're worth 5000 a share. Bonner has
helped score OF newspaper men in simi
lar manner. He is liked by the printers
and is adored by the members OF DR.. John
Halls church, with whom he worships
His paper is yet very prosperous, and in
ten years more Mr.. Bonner will be worth

A contemporary gives list Of rich men
and plaintively remarks that there is not
the name Of a single newspaper man among
them. This is too true, perhaps. News
paper men usually put in their efforts in
the way of making other people rich, to
their own harm. By the way, James Cor
don Bennett and Whitelaw Reid are not
very poor.

The May number Of Casselrs Family

The May number Of Cassells Family
Magazine is remarkable for the number
and variety of its stories; long and short,
grave and gay; all are here offering their
various attractions to the reader. The
serials of this magazine are quite the most
interesting now being published. They
are real stories with flesh and blood char
acters and well constructed plot. Sergeant
Ballantine's book on America is reviewed
here at length and rather sarcastically
treated. The reviewer seems inclined to
poke fun at the talkative old Sergeant.
The Magazine is published in London,

York, at 81 so year.

1t is stated that the new Prayer Book of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, as ap-
proved by the General Convention Of 1883,
will be published to-day, April 20,
though the action of the convention is not
final. All the changes proposed have to
be submitted to the Diocesan Conventions
and after this to the General Convention
OF 1886. Most OF the Diocesan Conven-
tions have already passed favorsbly on the
new prayers. and the New York Tribune
says that the general opinion is that the
next General Convention will confirm the
action. OF the last and that the new pray
ers will become q part Of the service OF
the church in this country. II we may be
permitted to make suggestion at this late

one of the two brothers who was so
shockingly burnt on Monday by the
coal oil accident, is suffering great
pain, and is thought to be in a very
critical condition. The little fellow

except when under the influence of
chloroform. At times he is deli
rious, and asks for his little brother
who died from the effects of his burns
yesterday morning. Mr.. J w. Tier,
father OF the unfortunate children, did
not reach his home until this even
ing, having missed the train at Balti-

ly burnt about the hands in her eff
fects to save her children, is suffering
much pain from her burns. Kind
neighbors are doing all in their power
to alleviate the sufferings of the
afflicted mother.

The Hottest Day,

Yesterday was decidedly the hot
test day of the hot term, and there
was much suffering in consequence
both by man and beast. The ther-
mometer stood at from 95 to go in
the shade, and so intense was the
heat about noon, that workmen on
buildings exposed to the suns rays
were compelled to quit work. About
6 o'clock, threatening clouds began to
gather in the west, and the indica-
tions werethat the atmosphere, would
soon have cooling by a copious rain
fall, but they soon passed around us
without giving us the much desired
relief. To-day, we had to pass
through the same experience that we
did yesterday, with no apparent re-
lief in the near future. The signal
service so far as the cold wave pre-
diction, has proved another failure.

Too Hot for Sleep.s

Last night was the hottest night
so far this season, and sweltering
humanity could not lie in bed with
comfort. From the confusion on The
streets during all hours of the night
it would seem that a goodly number
were either afraid to 60 to bed or had
left their heated couches because they
could not sleep and went in the street
in search for air. 1t is we'll that the
festive mosquito has not yet made
bis appearance in large numbers or the
thing would be unbearable and sleep
almost impossible these close nights.
The "oldest inhabitant'' has been
heard from on the subject. He SAYS
the present hot spell has not been

otlate ofthe dispatch boat dolphin,
likewise of John Roach. They are
inseparable. But we doubt II the
acquaintance of Mr.. John O'Connell,

stationed at the Naval Academy bar
racks, has generally been made.

would indicate otherwise, Is an

Academy contingent, and upon his
return purchased q pleasure boat,
which he christened 'Dolphin. = John
Roach's vessel having panned on 50

be had no further use for its nance

purchaser. 1t also occurred TO 0'Con-
nell at the same time that the Acad.
