eighty-two winters, recently decided that he
wanted a wife, and so he asked a lady friend
of his If she knew of any good woman about
his age whom he might marry. She said
that Mrs. Sarah Ann Tilton of Boston was

When she saw Mrs. Tilton, the widow
laughed at the idea, but said Mr.. Chace
might call. AT his second call he proposed,

the first call the venerable couple were mar
ricd, and are now living happily in Provi-
dence.
Hamburg has been startled by a sensa
tlonal attempted suicide. A danseuse, well
known and greatly admired in the old Han
seattle city, had Il serious atfaire dc couer
with dashing young bachelor Hamburger.
1t was a case of getting off with the old love
before getting on with the new. The youth
wished to marry 'another grip and called
on the danseuse to break the news to her as
gently as possible.
She took 1t more quietly than he had ex-
pected and, cutting his visit as short as he

ing on the table as Il condeau de rupture, a
very considerable sum of money in bank
notes.
When he reached his house he found a
messenger had arrived there before him

perhaps the most beautiful trait IN a fair,
tiaxen-haired fraulein's character that when
injured she never turns the avenging re-
volver against any one but herself. So the
danseuse, rushing into the presence of her
faithless admirer, and with a cry of 81 can
not live without YOU" turned the deadly
weapon against her own poor, bruised, suffer
ing and futtering little heart and pulled the
trigger.
Luckily the bullet only tore a strip out of
her corsage. But when the %neighbors rushed
in and brought her out OF her dead faint her
mind was wandering and she had to be taken
TO a hospital to be placed under medical
treatment. A good deal Of sympathy is OK
pressed for her in Hamburg. as her character
was above reproach,
Sadness and Joy were strangely contrasted
IN the house Of Mr.. George w. Sackett. at
525 Madison street, Brooklyn, recently. His
ten-year-old daughter, Bessie Hedges Sack
GU, lay ueau III the ironl ROOM on the seconu
floor, while In the parlor underneath the Rev.
Robert j. Kent was officiating at the mar
riage of Miss Susie Dorish Sackett, the cid
est daughter of Mr.. Sackett, TO Fred Baker
Morris, in the presence of sixty guests. Lit
tie Bessie had been sick for some time, but
had been looking forward with much girlish
interest to the marriage of her sister. Her
death came so unexpectedly at l O'Clock in
the afternoon that there was no time TO no
tify the invited guests, ana it was deemed
advisable TO go ON with the marriage cere-
mony. AL the flowers which Miss Sackett
had intended TO wear, and which were sent
in by friends, were placed around the couch
of her dead sister.
