A recent occurrence that has caused
quite little fiutter of pleasurable ex-
element among the gossipS of the West
end, and reunited two hearts which long
years ago commenced to beat as one,
has for its principals Edward A. Hens
low and a young lady who until few
days ago was Miss Elsie Du Fresno
but who has since become Mrs,
Henslow. Miss Du Fresno is
a handsome and vivaciouS girl
of French extraction, and an orphan.
She was formerly employed by many
Sixth ward ladies in dressmaking, and
resided with DR.. Day, an old resident
of the Sixth ward, who treated the
young girl as one of his own family. In
1881, while she was still almost a child,
she met her affinity, at a social gather
ing, in the person of Edward HenslOw,
handsome youth, who had shortly be-
fore come to the city from Peoria, ILL.,,
and was employed in the railway Offices
here, and from the first moment their
eyes met eight years ago. the world has
been to them dream of love, though
they have been separated by many
thousands of miles during almost the
entire period. Both were poor, how
ever, and Henslow had but meagre edu-
cational advantages. The lovers met
frequently until the connection was
discovered by friends of the girl. who
at once brought all the pressure at
their command to bear, to dissuade her
from its continuance. 1t was here that
young HenSlow showed the right sort

choice, went West. Thealmost broken
hearted girl, after bidding God-speed to
the man she loved, went back to her
sewing, mentally resolved to wait and
watch for a break in the clouds.
For some months letters from the
West came with marked regularity,
but suddenly ceased entirely. Suisse
quently, Miss Du Fresno left the city,
and the affair died out and was forgot

young man called at several houses on
the West side, and inquired anxiously
him, though the big diamond in his
shirt front excited comment as to who
he might be. By diligent inquiry
he learned that the young
lady he sought, had removed to
Marshaltown, To-, and taken up her
residence with relatives at that place.

a quiet wedding was celebrated in

one of travel and adventure, he having

since the parting with his
sweetheart. During his travels.
by lucky speculation and in other ways
by love inspired, he acquired a com

himself and wife in comparative afflu-

While in st. Paul the young couple
were royalty entertained by an old
friend of the bride, and "auld long
meetings with old friends. Mr..
Henslow has purchased val
the grape-producing district of
Lower California, and the newly
married pair departed for their future
home yesterday morning. They were
escorted to the depot by large number
of friends, who threw old shoes after
them, while the bride, her face radiant
with happy smiles. leaned from the
coach window and kissed her hand to
the receding crowd.

A very pleasant social entertainment
was given last evening at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Webster, at 359 Wini-
fred street, under the auspices of the
Young Peoples Society of the Bethany
Congregational church. Aside from
the local talent, which included Stein
berg's orchestra, there were present the
Peoples church Quintette and other
musical celebrities from up town. A
leading feature was the recitation by
Miss Florence Ravelle, whose ability as
reader is attracting wide attention,
and who quite deserved the hearty ap-
plause which greeted her efforts.

One solitary drunk was the onlv
