ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN.
A Romantic Story Recalled by the Sui
eide of Mrs. Boettger.

A Romantic Story Recalled by the Sui
eide of Mrs Boettger.
The suicide of Mrs. Johanna Boettger
in this place recalls romantic story of
her early life that is counterpart Of
Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" In 1S4s,
when johanna was maiden, she was as
pretty as pink, and in her circle was
belle. One day there sailed into the
harbor a Spanish man-of-war, and the
sailors obtained leave to go ashore. Some
of them attended a dance one night
where pretty Johanna was a queen, and
one of the sailors, Jacinto Casariego, fell
ship the young sailor and Johanna be-
came engaged, and when his vessel left
he promised to return again, quit the
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 a 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-
iently with her, and her maiden charms
had ripened into womanly beauty that
drew many admirers around her. Among
them was Herr Boettger. 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 certain
length of time had passed. That time
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
lsh naval officer appeared before them.
Herr Boettger was astounded as he saw
the mother of his children fall into the
arms of the sailor and he cover her face
with kisses. Recovering, Mrs. Boettger,
or Casariego, explained matters to both
husbands. The first husband was as
founded, but he renowned all legal
claims to his wife, and after stay of
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 to 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 commodore in the
Spanish navy, he from time to time made
remittances to his son for his education
and support. Young Jacinto was fast
youth himself, and soon spent his money.
When the renittances stopped, on the
death of the old commodore few years
ago, he opened saloon in Sandy Hol-
low. He married respectable girl, who,
few months ago, eloped with younger
man, taking with her 81 900 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 suicide.-New Haven Dispatch

could sail over the sea. so other suitable
vessels could be constructed in like man
ner to sail over the surface of the at
mospherIe ocean. This was getting the
question of aerial flight down to scien-
tific basis. and attracted the attention
of European savants. GALIEN's theory
was that the atmosphere hung in
tive layers, the lower. because of
its density, supporting the upper; and
his idea was to place boat on the sur
face of the lower with its sides and sails
rising into the upper region, and then
it could sail perfectly. The theory was
good enough, but when it came to q prae-
teal application the trouble was how to
get the vessel up there. Still, out Of it
originated the balloon, and that is as
far as science and mechanism have
reached in aerial navigation. The par
achute, with which BALDWIN is Great
ing sensation, is much older inven-
ton than the balloon. There is no reason,
however, to be discouraged. The posi-
bllities of human invention seem to be
illimitable, and in the light of what has
been done within the last century it is
not wild prediction to say that our
grandchildren. as they wing their flight
from city to city and from land to land,
will wonder at our stupidity that we
didn't discoveEhow easy a thing it was
to construct flying machine.

SHALL. WE EI.Y2

This age of scientific DEVELOPMENT
and of mechanical invention has pro-
crossed to that period where there
seems to remain but one unsolved
problem in science and mechanism. 1t
is how to construct flying machine.
We have learned how to tame the
lightning and apply it to useful every
day purposes. We have learned how to
glide over the earth with speed as if
on the wings of the wind. We have
overcome space and eliminated dis
lance. We have our writing ma
chimes, our talking machines, and
the submarine cable has brought
the whole human family into
speaking acquaintance. About
the only thing we can't do now is to fly
through the air. And how are we to
accomplish that?-for human ambition
can never be satisfied until man can
take the wings of the morning and fly
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
The balloon is the nearest approach we
have ever been able to make toward
flying. machine, and yet it is an unsatiS-
factory experiment; for with all our
progress in the physical sciences the
balloon of to-day is no improvement
upon the first one that MoNTGoLFIEIs
sent up.
This idea of fight through the air is
not new one with the human race.
Man entertained it long before he
thought of wedding steam to locomotive
agencies. 1t is probably older than me-
chanical invention. for it is altogether
likely that away back in the prehistoric
era the human mind would dwell Oh the
easy and rapid movements of birds and
yearn for a like means of unincumbered
migration. Perhaps all of us can recall
some time in our childhood days when
we were tempted to fasten turkey wings
under our arms, and, climbing to the
top of the fence, make the experiment.
of sailing out into the air. We can put
our fingers now Oh limping men who
got their halted gait just in that
way. This idea of learning how to
fly has always had a strong hold upon
the human mind. Mythology winged
its deities, and ancient poets invested
earth-bound creatures with the attri-
butes of fowls Of the air. Coming on
down the centuries.We find fancy giving
place to experiment, until i'll 1775 we
findGAIIEN advancing the theory that as
vessels, buoyed by the air they contained.
