A Peculiar Life Story.
HUSBAND AND WIFE LIVE TOGETHER
TWELVE YEARS WITHOUT
SPEAKING.

CHICAGO, July 23.-A strange life
story with remarkable climax ended
to-day when James Hutchins, a we'll
to-do resident of this city, was buried
from his house on Sherman Avenue.
Mr.. Hutchins' death occurred just as
the night was closing on Saturday.
The deathbed scene in this comforta-
BILE home was an extraordinary one
The dying man had not spoken word
to his wife in twelve years, and for
that time they had occupied separate
rooms. He was singular and obsti-
ntae man. DIR. Parsons told him he
had only few hours to live. Mrs.
HMchins was crying, and the dying
man, who with open eyes, watched
her. With sudden impulse of love
that had survived the years of cruel
treatment, Mrs. Hutchins threw her
arms around her husbands neck, kissed
him fondly and begged him to speak
to her once to break, before he died,
the silence of dozen years.
There was struggle apparent in his
Coz ntenance. His lips opened as if to
speak, but only an inarticulate sound
came from them. His face grew set
and stern again. He slightly repulsed
her and he was taken with a spasm of
coughing. He asked the doctor for a
drink of water. Mrs. Hutchins made
no further attempt at reconciliation
and in an half hour her husband died.
The story of Mrs. Hutchins' peculiar
treatment has been subject for the
talk and wonder of the neighbors.
They were married thirty years ago in
England. He was handsome foot
soldier of the British Army and she
was a friend of his mother They
came to the Town of Lake sixteen
years ago, and he got work with the
Union Stock Yards Company. He
met Henry Barrotf, and as fellow
workmen they became strong friends
and Barroff, who was unmarried, used
to visit Hutchins many a time at his
house. One evening Barr off dropped
in before Hutchins had returned from
his work. He sat down and present.
Hutchins came in.
"iello Barroff, how are you T. said
he.
"How dye do, Jim," said Barrett,
and the conversation proceeded social
ly for an hour or two, when Barroff
went home.
Az soon as the door closed behind
him Hutchins charged his wife with
infdelity. He broke into frighttul
passion. He would hear no reply or
explanation and ended the scene by
looking himself UP in another room.

The Battle For Supremacy.

"Quay and Cameron are rapidly
drifting apart said well informed
State politician yesterd y, "and b,
the time the next Gubernatorial can
vass rolls around would not be sur.
prised to see each in the field with his
own favorite candidate. And when
the break does come here will be a
struggle for supremacy the like of
which has never yet occurred in this
Common wealth, There is not coun-
ty in the State that does not contain
friends of both men, and every voting
district will be the scene of fight.
Chris Magee will be found allied with
Cameron, while The present State ad
ministration will be largely on the
side of Senator Qnay."

these fourteen perished; twenty were
treated in warm apartment, aLd
eight of these died; while of the re
naming twenty, which were put al

Grover Oleveland's Administration Of the
Presidency.

"We presume" says the Brooklyn
Eagle, "there is no rational American
who does not believe that M. Cleve,
land is making even better President
of a united country than Abraham
Lincoln did of a disunited one. We
have no reason to doubt that every
thoughtful citizen perceives that the
firmness of Jackson, the equipoise of
Washington and the moral frankness
of John Quincy Adams unite in Grover
Cleveland with the intellectual qualities
Of Thomas Jefferson, improved in the
case of the New Yorker by profound
ly religious temperament which the
third President did not possess. A
less analytic and candid estimate than
this fails either to account for romantic
ally rapid rise of Mr.. Cleveland or for
the resplendent character of his admin
istration."

A BRITISHER'S SQUAW WIFE.
A Wealthy Enslishman Marries
Beautiful Sioux Maiden.

Henry Ashburton, the young son Of q
wealthy manufacturer at Leeds, England,
is now the husband of beautiful Indian
maiden at Standing Rock Agency in
Dakota He and several gentlemen from
the East were making q tour Of the
West, and paid visit to that Sioux agency.
They had no sooner become settled in their
tent than an Indian girl, the daughter
Of a chief, who had been watching the
party, rushed in, and throwing her arms
around Ashburton's neck, kissed him pas
sionately and repeatedly. The young English
man was surprised, but did not protest, and
when the girl had satisfied her longing
for kissing he grasped her around the
waist and did some kissing himself. Not
much was thought OF this by Ashburton's
companions until it was learned that the os-
culatory proceeding constituted marriage
under the Sioux law. Ashburton didn't OBJ
ject and is now living with the girl, notwith
standing the protests of his companions, who
did everything in their power to dis
suade him. He appears enamoured of his
Indian wife, while the latter is jealousy
fond Of him and follows him wherever he
goes like dog Ashburton swears that he
will never desert his bride.
The groom IS manly, handsome young
Englishman, who saws ne proposes to take his
copper-skinned wife to the old country with
him and present her to his people.
