The Lily Has Shaken Freddy.
New York World.l

Fred Gebhard returned from Europe
two or three weeks ago, aud every
thing he has done aud said since that
has tended to confirm the story in cir
culation to the effect that Mrs. Lang
try and he have agreed to disagree,
and that the future will not be marked,
as the past has been, by recurring
reports of an approaching mar
riage. What the trouble has
been which led to the rupture
Is not known. The story that recon-
Citation was effected with Mr.. Lang
try at the time that she brought her
friendship with Mr.. Gebhard to an
end is only one of a dozen similar
yarns. That Gedhard is very much af-
fected by this outcome of years of de-
votion is perfectly clear to every body
who has seen him. He has developed
q marvellous fondness for looking on
the wine when It is red aud straw col
ored and various other shades, and
bus begun paying desperate atten-
tions to pretty young widow who
has been for several summers one of
the most attractive features of life at
Naragansett Pier. Mr.. Gebhard's
friends honestly think that the result
of the present condition of things will
be reaction from the Bohemian life
he has led and that he will marry and
settle down to domestic life in New

Buffalo Bilps Cowboys In Rome.

Since the closing of the French Ex-
position, Buffalo Bill has gone to the
Eternal City, and is astonishing the
old and young Romans by his exploits,
The Duke di Sermonta had assured
Buffalo Bill that he had horses on the
Campagna at his estate of Cisterna
which he defied the cowboys to ride.
Ii was impossible even to put halter
on them, and they had to be left wild,
although they were valuable animals,
The challenge being accepted, three
horses were, with much difficulty,
driven into the city, and after most
exciting struggle, two of the most pow
erful were lassoed, saddled, bridled,
aud ridden by the cowboys, in the
presence of about fifteen thousand
people. Prince Napoleon was among
the audience. The excitement ran SO
high because the famous herdsmen OF
tho Campagna are supposed to be
able to ride anything.

DR.. EheldOn's Enormous Fee.

What is believed to be the largest
fee ever paid to physician in a single
case was paid by j. II. Flagler, one of
the Standard Oil kings, to DR.. G.. q.
Sheldon, says Anew York letter to the
Kansas City Journal. A dearly-be-
loved daughter of Mr.. Flagler, who af-
terwards died while cruising on a
yatch in Southern waters about year
ago, was lingering between life and
death. There were not more than two
or three chances out of hundred
that she would ever be able to leave
her bed alive. The devoted father all
nounced that if DIR. Sheldon could re-
lieye the suffering in his child and aid
her in recovering, he wauld give him
the largest fee that was ever paid q
physician. Miss Flagler rallied and
finally was able to leaye her bed, and
in the course of time was sufficiently
strong to drive out. The young heir.
ess to several millions lived to enjoy
her great veal h for long time after
this, and DIR. Sheldon was presented
with $250,000 worth of stock in the
Standard Oil Company.

NEW INVENTION In GLASS INDUSTRY

An invention has been perfected in
the glass industry which. it is stated,
will accomplish a complete rev.
olution in that branch of manufacture.
Until the present it has only been pos
sible to produce sheet glass by blow
ing hollow cylinder, which was then
cut, separated and polished. An
American glass manufacturer has now
succeeded in producing glass plates OF
great breadth and of any desired
length by means of rolling. Glass thus
produced is said to possess far great
or homogeneity, firmness and trans
parcncy, aud il has, on the upper sur
face, a brilliancy which is barely to be
distinguished from art plate glass,
The material part of the invention con-
sists in the application of the peculiar
undulated, hollow metal rollers, heated
from the inside by means of steam or
gas. These rollers seize the sticky,
liquid glass which is conducted to
them from the bottom Of melting
tub without the Intervention of any
other apparatus whatever. To prevent
the soft glass from adhering to the
rollers, the latter are covered with an
extremely thin coating of wax. Ifthe
new process is extensively used, win
dow glass will be considerably cheap
ened.-Advertiser.

DON'T WORRY AND FRET.

Men worry and women fret. A
fretting man is unusual, and woman
who wears herself out with worry un-
accompanied with fretting is not COM
mon. Both are manifestations of a
common failing, however, and fretting
is only worse SO far as it compels 9TH
ers to share the victims unhappiness.
1t is trite saying that fret and worry
kill more people than hard work, and
very many men and women realizing
the truth of this have gone successfully
to work to conquer the miserable
habit. 1t is harder to do this where
the tendency Is inherited, but 1t can be
done, and where it's an acquired habit
the task is easy for determined spirit.
The way to stop is to stop.-Good
Housekeeping.

The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. w. f. Poor, and when he had
finished 1t and pronounced the young
couple "man aud wife," the bride be.
came greatly agitated, burst into tears
and sobbingly exclaimed: "I have
married the wrong man,
Upon inquiry she exclaimed that
she should have married the young
man who acted as best man on the
occasion. Both the groom and hiI
best man were suitors for Miss Hart''
hand, and, although she did not like
Moore as well as she did the other, in
fit Of pique she accepted him, and
then did not dare to back out. But
when the irrevocable words were said
that bound her for life, her emotions
and her consciousness of the folly and
wrong she had done overpowered her
and she was unable TO restrain the tel
tale words.
The affair has created quite q sensa.
tion among the respective relatives
and friends of the welded pair, who
are all people of good circumstances
and position. The marriage present
of the brides father was $1,000, and
other relatives gave large amounts
The wedding was a brilliant socia
event, and was attended by the bes
people of all the surrounding country
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore are now in
Washington on their bridal tour, and
the friends Of the bride hope she will
return more reconciled to the situation
than she was when she started. The
effect upon the young man who stood
up with the couple is quite serious
and it is feared that he will have to
be placed in an asylum.

A FATHERS VIOLENT AFFECTION FOR
ANOTHER MANS SON.
J. l.. Boiling Suicides Because He IL De-
prived Of Boy Who Resembied
His Own Dead Child,
tsrecial telegram TO the DIspatch.l


RALIrGR, n. g.. November 2s.-Last
Wednesday afternoon J. L. Boiling killed
himself near KELVIN Grove. this county
having taken morphine and then shot him
self through the head with q pistol, Mt q
lonely place in the woods. II was at first
thought TO be an ordinary case Of suicide,
but the Coroner's inquest yesterday deyel-
oped most remarkable romance.
STRIKING RESEMBLANCE.
Three years ago Boiling came to Raleigh,
md while here saw q little son Of Major
Lynn, who bore most striking RESENT
blance 90 his own child who had died two
years previously. Boiling at once con-
ceived q most violent affection for the
child. ascertained his name. and told him
he was the living image Of his dead boy;
Boiling went 10 LynB's neighborhood and
opened a school 90 that he might have the
boy as q pupil. He was with the latter
nearly oil the time.
TOOK THE BOY AWAY.
Finally the boys father. fearing that
Boiling might ALLEVIATE the child's ahec-
tions, took the boy away from school and
forbade Boiling to have anything 70 90
with him. Boiling gave up his school ana
became pedder, thinking be might thus
get an opportunity TO be near the boy.
ENDED MS LIFT.
When he found that his efforts in this
direction failed he went into the woods
not far from Lvnn's house and there ended
his life. He left long letter IN which he
told these facts and stated that life with
out the boy was not worth living. Boiling
left a wife and daughter with whom he
had not lived for several years. Grief at
his sons death had affected his mind.
