Chicago Tribune: What becomes Of
divorced women? A vast field of uncx-
plored territory is opened by the question,
just as mules are supposed 10 seek for
their death some spot where no eye can
behold them, SO divorced women, once
divorced, are believed 10 Withdraw to
some mysterious limbo in which the rest
OF their lives is epent unobseryed. But
the Tribune has been at the pains Of col
Iccting statistics about them, and it finds
that taey can accurately be divided into
the four following classes:
Glass l. remarked within a year, 20
per cent; class ?, waiting for an offer, 10
per cent: class three, fallen into evil ways,
10 per cent; class 4, devoted TO celibacy,
) per cent
These figures have been compiled from
a comparison of the divorce lists with the
marriage registers; from the statement of
Judges, justices Of the peace, clergymen,
lawyers and court officials, aud from per
sonai inquiry among those who have been
divorced. They can be accepted as fairly
and substantially correct.

One Of the most charming old ladies of
this city, says a Washington correspond
ent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, is Mrs.
Elizabeth Stone, whose family and near
relatives played an important part in the
early history of the capital. Mrs. Stone
has just presented to the national museum
Is number of family relics which form
quite a unique collection. Among them
is a warming pan 100 years old, such as
were used long years ago to warm beds
in the evening, previous to the invention
of stoves and CRATES. Another is an
ancient t%oaster, for t~oasting bread before
the old fashioned freplaces. The most
interesting, perhaps, are two lace looms,
or pillows, with their little pins, around
which Mrs. Stone was wont 10 make her
own lace In years long gone by, and
with them are numerous examples Of fine
q work made by that lady. 4 map of
Washington engraved by Mrs. Stone, in
the years when goose creeks wound
through what are now fashionable por-
lions Of the city, and a fac simlle of the
declaration of independence, engraved
by her husband by direction Of congress,
are also interesting relics. Mrs. Stone
recalls many absorbing "reminiscences of
her girihood, such as wandering through
bushy paths where now is the central
part of the city, driving through between
the two wings of the old capital while 1t
was being constructed, and Thomas JEFF
ferson's riding TO service at old Christ
church at the navy yard, and stopping to
chat with her at their residence on Cap.

"A Dream of Ealr Woman.

have done by recommending the use OF DR..

SING TO ME.

Out or the silences wake me a song.
Beautiful, sad, and soft and low
Let the loVeliest music ounda along,
AND wing each note with a wall OF woe.
Dim and drear
"A chant OF woe,
OF the s~ilences wake me a HYMN.
!" nose sounds are like shadows sort and ain
Out OF the stiffness Of your heart
a Thousand songs are sleeping there
Wake me a song, thou child OF art!
Inc song OF a nope In a last despair,
DARK and low,
a chant of woe,
Out OF the stiffness, tone by tone
Cold as a snowflake, low AS a moan.
Out Of the darkness flash me a song.
Brightly dark and darkly bright:
Let II sweep as a lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows Of the night.
Sing 1t sweet,
Where nothing is drear or dark or dim,
AND earth song scars into heavenly hymn.

The Mystery Of a Flat a.,

New York World: A mysterious and
pathetic auction sale took place in New
York the other day il an uptown flat.
1t had evidently been occupied by a
woman, young, beautiful and refined,
and she had gone out of it without re-
moving even her rings that lay in the
jewel stand on the dainty dressing table.
Everything was sold unreservedly. A
piano with a pile Of songs and sheet after
sheet Of classical music. A library con
tanning all the best of the modern authors,
and MANY whom the verdict Of the ages
have consecrated; books finely bound
and artistically illustrated, showing that
the reader liked to have her mental food
served up on dainty dishes. Pictures
that, while they were not perhaps very
costly, showed the owner knew the
best and appreciated it. Bricabrac of all
sorts and well selected. A table service
consisting of napery like satin and china,
showing the best of Wedgwood, Sevres.
and Worcester manufactures. A wearinr
apparel dainty Enough for a princess.
Tiny slippers, 81 gloves, stockings like silk
cobwebs and handkerchiefs as fine, eas,-
ern shawls, delicate lace trimmed lingerie
all the beautiful things with which a
high bred and luxurious woman sur
rounds herself. Apparently no selections
had been made. nothing kept back and
the woman had walked away beyond "a
doubt with nothing but the clothes she
wore. The auctioneer said briefly in an
swer 10 all interrogations, that the owner
had suddenly determined to 60 into q con
vent and had directed that the entire con
tents of the fiat be disposed of for the
benefit of the institution she had entered.
1t was plain that the tragedy of life lay
behind ii, but what it was the details Of
it will never be known.

Married n Condemned Men.

A few nights ago in the county jail OF
Gan Francisco, the condemned murderer,
Frank McNulty, who is to be hanged IN
three weeks, was married to Kate keane,
,he woman with whom he was living at
the time of his crime, and who has been
devoted to him during his jail life. she
had a child by him, and was thought TO
be married. McNul:y, while a sailor,
fell in with her. Her first husband,
Huber. deserted her. McNulty deserted
bis ship. became a longshoreman, living
with her in this city. Recently she OBJ
tanned a divorce from Huber, and the re-
suit was the wedding last night, almost
in the shadow of the gallows.
The bride, neatly dressed, went TO the
Jail last evening and gave a small pack
are Of clothes to McNulty. He dressed
himself. and then taking the brides arm
walked down to the clerks office where a
magistrate was waiting. There was zone
there but knew the fate that awaits the
bridegroom three weeks hence, and most
had seen the tragedy which closed the
career of Goldenson less than two months
AGO. and when in answer to the query
which ends with the words, For all your
natural life until death do you part. the
dreadful significance of that part OF he
ceremony was overpowerlng.
Ii was little else than mockery TO wlsh
the couple "many happy days, but ina
expression was uttered by the first person
who grasped McNulty's hand after the
words were pronounced which made the
couple man and wife. /,
The bride was happy. She believed
her husband insane when he killed o
Inns. and has never lost hope for his life.
She really has been devoted to him since
his arrest, and said after the wedding
that her marriage realized the dearest
hope of her life.
Johnny will be a free man yet, and
we shall be very happy some day, aiter
all our troubles" she said.
The jailer permitted the newly welded
pair to remain seated in the corridor for
q short time. and they spent the mlnut
in conversation, which was carried on IN
whispers. When their talk was ended
Mrs. McNulty walked TO the cell door
md saw her husband locked in. Sfe
ave him the last kiss through the wicket
and then left the jail.
1t is understood that Gov. Waterman
has been asked to commute McNultys
sentence to life imprisonment, and has
given encouragement. Tie appeal has
not yet been taken to the supreme court,
McNulty's attorney preferring to have
the governor act in the matter before the
legal fight is made.

A SONG OF DAYS.

Twas spring, when hope days dawncd, my
sweet,
Ny gypsy heart at your lear feet
Did pitch a tent.
Nor all the spring
Did my wild heart go truanting;
1t was content.
In summer, when the joy days came,
They found ny vsgrant heart grown tame
To your sweet spell;
Forgetful quite
or all It's former fret for flight,
II rested well.
And yet when autumn days dreamed deep
or sone dread portent and asleep,
Did sigh apace,
My heart CLEANED not
Strange fears and fed. 1t loved the spot
Where you had place.
- when the winter days awake
To find a rayished world, and make
Sad moan. sad moan,
My heart will sing,
For where you are Is always spring,
And spring alone.

Her Wedding Presents.

She smiled like q beautiful flower
In the sunny breeze a-bloom,
AS she looked at her wedding presents
That almost filed a room.
She dwelt on the dainty etching
On the carven salad bowl;
On editions de lure In vellum-
And music thrilled her soul.
AS the wild rose burns in the twilight,
This thought in her bosom burned:
'They are mostly from married people,
And won't have to be returned"
