UNRoMANTIC MIR. SMITH.
A Tale of Summit Avenue as Tol(
T,ohu

A Tale of Summit Avenue as Told
BY a Society Lady.
Mr.. Smith, of Summit avenue, for
young man, is very unromantic. At
twenty-three one ought not to be tired
of life, weary Of being and doing. He
is. He yawns over the latest novel,
shifts at a sunshiny day, passes pretty
face without glancing and finds no
temptation in red lips. His club is dull,
the city dirty, his companions bores.
Mr.. Smith, of Summit avenue, was
engaged to be married. His mother Sc
lected his bride, his father arranged the
finances. Mr.. Smith himself had moth
ing to do but to express in few words
the qualification it would afford him to
be called her husband. He did this
with grace, and she, who is young and
him her hand and heart. Mr.. Smith
was dutiful. He called regularly. They
were seen in company together. Society
blessed the union. Mr.. Smith accepted
all the congratulations as a matter of
course.
They went to ''Mignon' together.
The Bostonians presented it. She wore
a red rose at her bosom. In the crush
of leaving the opera house when the
play was over Mr.. Smith begged the
flower from her. She held it out and he
quickly pressed 1t to his lips. She
smiled and thought to herself that after
all he might possess some sentiment in
his nature. As they rode home together
Mr.. Smith said to her:
81 ought not to marry you"
She started and laid hand on his
arm. He was looking out of the car
ri xxyinA l,n
not find voice to question him. He con-
tinued:
81 am not worthy of you. You de-
serve man who can love you. L can
love no One."
Several moments more of silence be-
tween, then he resumed:
Tomorrow afternoon, without tell
ing any one where you are going, come
to 709 Exchange street. l will be
there"
Soon after retiring that night she
wondered what she should do. His con-
duct was so strange and his request
manifestly improper. She could not go.
But-he was gentleman and her be-
trothed. 1t was unnatural to suppose
that he would compromise her. She
worthy of her. She loved him, and vet
-yet-did he love her?
She went to 709 Exchange street the
next afternoon and found cottage,
neat in exterior. A gray-haired lady
met her at the door.
You wished to see Mr.. Smith?" she
asked. "Come up stairs"
Up the stairs they went and into the
small bedroom. On the bed that stood
in one corner lay girl, holding in one
hand a red rose. Her face was very
white and the cough that shook her
form told of the disease that was killing
her. Mr.. Smith sat at the head of the
bed. AS his lady love entered he rose,
and taking her hand, led her up to the
girl. He said:
See! This is my work, she loved me
too. am not worthy of you"
Mr.. Smith, of Summit avenue, is very
unromantic, and he will not marry.

New YORK, May 10.-Arrangements

while leaving Detroit house, they met
the owner returning from out of the
city. They robbed him on the porch,
and then sent him in the house to see
what they had left. Inspector Byrnes
says that for GOODNESS and daring, Ell
wood and Wilson stood IN the frontrank
of masked burglars. Many patterned after
them, but they had few equals and
no superior. Wilson, long before he
was associated with Ellwood, operated
alone in Brooklyn, N. Y, with remark
able success. He became known as the
''Silver King" on account of the great
amount of silverware he made away
with. In Brooklyn he robbed $50 houses
and escaped detection. He invariably
made it rule to sit down in the dining
room and eat a heavy supper before
robbing the house. He is a good-lOok-
ing, innocent-appearing fellow, and has
beautiful and most fascinating wife,
as Toledo reporters we'll know, who was
devoted to him. She still writes to him
in his home in the Ohio penitentiary.

Want Special Rates.

CHICAGO, May 1O.-The Central Traf-
fic association having refused to give
special rates to exhibitors of horses at
state, district and county fairs during
the season of 1883, representatives of
several stock breeder associations met
here last night and appointed a COM
mittee to visit the officials of the asso-
citation and urge upon them a reconsid-
Grafton of their decision and the grant
ing of rates heretofore given. Three
thousand fairs are affected, and the

Live Stock Rates.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-The joint exec
utive committee, freight department,
of the sea-board trunk lines and the
Central Traffic association, held a five
hours executive session at Pool Com
missioner Fink's Office to-day. The
live stock and dressed beef rates be-
tween Chicago and New York were
discussed. The live stock men con-
tended that the rate of 45 cents per hun
dred for dressed beef was too low, and
the dressed beef shippers held that the
rate was so high that they could not
ship in opposition to the 35 cent per
hundred on live stock. 1t was finally
decided to reduce the freight on live
stock from 35 cents to 25 cents.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.

''4n the midst of life we are in death.'
This was most fully realized by our peo
pie on Tuesday evening. Mr.. s. d.
Westcott and family were in attendance
at the wedding of f. G. Miller and Miss
Mary E. Dodge. But few moments
after the services were commenced, Mr..
Westcott was seen to arise and pass out
of the church with his hand pressing
upon his chest. He had got but a few
steps from the church when Rev. G. A.
Adams found him leaning against the
fence, and he remarked that he could
not get his breath. Mr.. Adams hastily
summoned carriage and conveyed him
to his home, only square distant, and
by the time lie was conveyed into the
house from the carriage life had ebbed
away.
Drs. Hamilton and Rhelnfrank were
both summoned but reached the house
too late to render any assistance. The
cause of death was pronounced to be
heart disease.
The intimate relations existing be-
tween the two families for long series
of years made the death scene a pecu.
liarly sad one.
MIR. Westcott was one of the early
pioneers of Perrysburg, locating here in
1881. He has been intimately associated
with the busine,s and political interests
of the village during all these years, al
ways being strict partisan of the Dem.
ocratic faith. He has held town and
township Offices for many consecutive
years.
The deceased was in the Goth year of
his age. He leaves widow and seven
children to mourn the loss Of kind and
affectionate husband and father. lie
