ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN.

A Romantic Story Recalled by tho Sui
eide OF Mrs. Boettger.
The suicide of Mrs. johanna Boettger
in this place recalls a romantic story Of
her early life that Is o counterpart Of
Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" In 1SiS,
when Johanna was a maiden, she was as
pretty as pink, and in her circle was a
belle. Ono day there sailed into the
harbor Spanish man-of-war, and the
sailors obtained leave to go ashore. Some
Of them attended dance ono night
where pretty Johanna was queen, and
ono of the sailors, Jacinto Casariego, fell
in love with her. After brief court
ship the young sailor and Johanna be-
came engaged, and when his vessel left
he promised to return again, quit tho
sea and marry her. A year or more
rolled around and Johanna remained
true to her Spanish lover. Then his ship
came into port again, and his term of
enlistment having expired he was dis.
charged and they were married.
Two years of welded bliss followed
and son was born to Jacinto and Jo-
hanna. Then the young Spaniard longed
for sea again, and finally he packed his
chest, went TO New York and enlisted on
board Spanish man-of-war then lying
in the harbor. Time rolled on. Jo-
hanna, with her baby boy, heard nothing
from her husband. Time had dealt le-
lently with her, and her maiden charms
had ripenCd into womanly beauty that
drew many admirers around her. Among
them was Herr Boettgcr. He pleaded
long time, but she was not sure her first
husband was dead, and, though she fa-
vored the honest, earnest German wooer,
she would not marry him until q certain
length of time had passed. That tima
came, and the steadfast devotion Of Herr
Boettger was rewarded. They were
married and several children blessed the
union.
Ten years passed, and one night while
the family were at supper handsome
looking man in the uniform of Span
ish naval officer appeared before them.
Herr Boettger was astounded as he saw
the mother of his children fall into the
arms Of tho sailor and he cover her face
with kisses. Recovering, Mrs. Boettger,
or Casariego, explained matters to both
husbands. The first husband was as.
founded, hut he renounCed all legal
claims to his wife, and after n stay of o
few days he went away. His son, the
young JaCinto, had been well cared for
by the stepfather, and his own father
left with the promise 10 do something
for him. Nothing more was ever seen
of him by his wife. lie remembered his
son, however, and as he rose step by
step until he became a commodore in tho
Spanish navy, he from time 10 time made
remittances to his son for his education
and support. Young Jacinto was fast
youth himself, and soon spent his money.
when the rcmittances stopped, on the
death OF the cid commodore few years
ago, he opened a saloon in Sandy Hol-
low. Hemarried a respectable girl, who,
few months ago, c!oped with younger
man, taking with her 81 GOO Of her hus-
bands savings. 1t was the action of
this daughter-in-law that worried Mrs.
Boettger into insanity and drove her to
commit suieide.-New Haven Dispatch

An Irnterprisipr Grow.

Farmer Crowdcr had finished planting
his corn, but his heart was heavy. lie
knew the crows were whetting their bills
to pull up the corn as soon as 1t appeared
above the surface.
~ tell you how to get away with tho
crows" said Neighbor Stokes.
"Iow?"
''Get you gallon Of mean whisky and
soak somo corn in il till il gets full of tho
stuff, and then scatter it broadcast in tho
field. The black rascals will eat it and
get drunk, and then you can catch EN-
and pull their heads of. That beats pizen
or shootin'."
In few days Farmer Crowder met his
friend Stokes.
"Well, how's crapsT queried Stokes.
"My co"n's bodaciously ruint," replied
Crowder, dolefully. II tried that zero
scheme o your'n, and its humbug. l

The Peak, OF Pyramid Lake.

Miss Julia Hyde of this city, writing
from Sheepshead, Washoe county, gives
tho following passing glance ut Pyramid
lake; Il shall never forget the first sight
OF the lake. 1t was simply grand. We
drove along the shore for TWENTY-FIVE
miles. For long time we were in sight
OF tho towering pyramidal rock from
which the lake derives its name. South
of this rock, in the center of the lower
portion of the lake, is another large mass
of rock, which resembles q pyramid in
form; and near tho northwest end or
corner of the lake arc what are called
'The Three Pyramids Seen from dis
tanco they present tho appearance Of
three pyramids, but when you reach q
part of the lake near them you find they
number about dozen. The water Of
the lake is a deep and beautiful blue.
Waves at times rise to an astonishing
height on the lake, and breakers roll in
upon the shore, which are quite formid-
able.
81 think have never in my life seen a
more glorious sunset than that / wit
messed here on the evening of my ar
rival. The western sky was q mass OF
purple, vermilion and gold, resembling
painted and gilded towers. From the
deep blue of the lake rose the sun tipped
pyramids of the lower world, as though
towering TO meet those of the more
etheral realms above, while between all
the air seemed filled with a quiyering
golden haze. All in this wild and tree
less region seemed n dazzling picture
done in vermilion, blue and gold. .h-Vir-

Dinner Dacgcrs.

The newest thing in dinner favors Is q
jeweled dagger, not a papier mache af-
iair nor yet stage weapon, but a keen
bladed dagger. which, il your neighbor
at dinner DO not to your liking or prove
tiresome in conversation, you may use
upon him with speedy and fatal effect.
In the mean time, no murderous ten
dency taking possession Of you, you are
expected to use this weapon to cut up
your meat. The fashion is an expensive
one, because it is important that the hilt
be jeweled. Without the sparkle of the
gem TO crafty ones aesthetic taste the
glitter of the steel will still have some
thing lacking. True, there is the possi-
bility of paste jewels, and il this savage
fashion grows doubtless dealers in Rhine
stones will mark an advance In trade.
No doubt dagger drill might be in
vented to follow the repast, when the
piayfully inclined might smite the steel
together Thus does civilization advance
with mighty strides.--San Francisco Ex-

According to medical contemporary,
DIR. Gouveneur l.. Smith, Of New York,
has just given some interesting and
startling facts in regard to pneumonia.
DIR. Smith points out that the disease is
becoming worse every year, increasing
rather than decreasing, both in the num-
Der of cases and the percentage of NOR
tality. Tho statistics of tho Pennsyl-
vania hospital show that the mortality
from pneumonia there advanced from
Gt per cent. in lS41 TO lSi per cent. in
1867, and 81 per cent. in 1886, Similarly,
in the New York hospital the ratio Of
mortality from this disease is more than
double that it was in 1878. 'hirty or
forty years ago it was regarded as seri-
GUS, but it did not excite anything like
tho alarm it does today. DR.. Smith is
rather inclined to believe that tho
medical art, instead Of progressing in its
treatment Of pneumonia, has actually
gone back, and holds that the methods
of treating the disease at the time it was
less deadly have been abandoned for me

blowing Up CanieIs.

Moorish traders in camels seem to be
no more honest than Yankee traders in
horses have the reputation of being. The
author of "Among the Arabs" describes
as follows one of their tricks, which, ac-
cording to his account, only an expert Is
likely to detect. On one occasion, while
In an Arab village, he declared his inten-
ton OF buyinga u young camel. No sooner
had his desire become known than at
least twenty camels were brought for his
inspection. They were all fine looking
animals, in excellent condition, APP
parently. In fact, the only fault our
Frenchman could perceive was that they
were too fat. After proper amount OF
deliberation and bargaining, he selected
the one which appeared TO ho the leanest,
and paid the price agreed upon. Tho
next morning, when he went 20 look at
his fat camel he found living skeleton,
on whose almost fleshless bones the skin
hung in large folds, and whose best de-
Velopment was about the joints.
The method by which the camels are
suddenly ''fattened" for the market Is
thus described; An incision about an
inch In length is made in each ear be-
tween the skin and the flesh Into this a
small tube is fitted and secured by q silk
cord. There it remains, hidden from the
observation Of all but the. initiated and
