= WORLDS Fab ROMANCE.


One of tho Lady Managers Won by Ste
nographer Who Took Her Speech.
Monday, just week ago, Miss Cora
d. PAYNE, the lady manager from Ken
tucky. disappeared from the Worlds fair
headquarters She left a note to the
other ladies, stating that she had been
called home ON important business and
would return in few days. The ladies
paid no particular attention to the mat
ter, as Miss Payne frequently visited her
southern home and returned without
anything eventful transpiring. When
Miss Payne put in an appearance, how
ever, the ladies put aside their apathy,
for she was no longer Miss G. Payne, but
Mrs. Alfred jackson. Mrs. Jackson was
not dressed in the gala attire of bride
Her toilet was even quieter than usual.
1t was SO quiet that it excited suspicion.
''Have you lost any relatives?" inquired
Mrs. Bullene, of Missouri, solicitously.
Mrs. Jackson did not reply at once.
She just blushed and looked down at her
desk. Mrs. Bullene repeated her ques-
ton in louder tone of voice. Still Mrs.
jackson seemed not to hear it, and acted
in a timorously preoccupied manner. Il
do believe that Miss Payne went away
and got married" said Mrs. Bullene to
another lady manager.
Then vocal sparring match took place
between the ladies. Mrs. Jackson de-
MED emphatically that such was the case,
but her color was SO high that she be-
trayed herself. Finally, driven to bay,
Mrs. Jackson confessed that she was
Mrs. Jackson.
Miss Payne came from Kentucky last
fall when the woman's commission met,
and evincing a lively interest in the
woman's branch of exposition work, she
was asked to remain in Chicago and
iden5ify herself with the Chicago head
quarters. Her husband was at the time
a stenographer in Director General
Davis Office. He is smooth shaven,
round faced young man, with peculiar
manner of speech, but it was the hesitat-
ing manner of speech that won the lady
manager from the south. Every morn
ing they walked to the office together,
and every evening they were seen to de-
part in company.
They never knew each other before
the first session of the woman's commits
sion. Jackson was sent to take steno-
graphic report of the meeting Miss
Payne had just finished making a
speech. The confusion was great at the
time and Jackson could not catch all
that she said. AS she seated herself he
went quietly over to her seat and asked
her politely to repeat what she said.
Their eyes met, and it was then that
Miss Payne felt her first sensation of
love and Mr.. jackson lost his heart.
Things progressed nicely until the
time for the marriage came, and it was
then Miss Payne suggested a deception
that was executed admirably. Instead
of going home she went with her hus-
band that was to be to London, Canada,
where his parents resided, and there
the marriage ceremony was performed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson will reside in
Chicago, and Mrs. Jackson will continue
to represent her state in the exposition.

Somewhat Trying, Nevertheless

Do not suppose that young woman
is necessarily in an unamiable frame of
mind when you meet her bearing a
muddy overshoe in hand. The relief
that she experienced when she gave up
trying to keep the thing on more than
balanced her vexation at spelling glove
and boot; but oh! the things that women
think and don't say when at every step a
misft overshoe drops down at the heel
would make volume for the govern
ment to suppress. Common

Entered Into Rest.

1t is with feelings of profoundest sor-
row that we record the death of Mr.. John
F. Transue, respected neighbor and
upright citizen, which occurred on Octo-
Der 1st A wide circle of friends in
Passaic mourn his untimely end, cut
down as he was in the strength of early
manhood. He had been a resident of
Passac about three years, during which
time he gained the love and esteem of
every one with whom he came III contact
by his kindly disposition and his sterling
integrity and uprightness of character.
He had but recently erected Il beauti-
full home, with all the conveniences tnat
mnistered to the comfort cf his family,
when death, the great leveler, came, and
removed him to that home not made
with hands, which is eternal, and in the
heavens. The respect with which he
was held was evinced by the beautiful
floral tributes furnished and the large
number of friends present at his funeral
on Sunday afternoon last, among the
number delegation Of about thirty i've
of his fellow workmen.

A FATAL MISTAKE.
Four Persons Perish in New York
Tenement House Fire.

Four persons perished In a fire early on q
recent morning in the five-story brick tene-
ment house at Hudson and Dorninick streets.
New York City. 1t is asserted that no lives
would have been lost but for the mistake
made at the quarters of Hook and Ladder
No. in North Moore street. When Officer
John McGrath discovered the flames, ne
sent In the alarm from box No. 1S2, but at
the Hook and Ladder quarters the signal was
In some unaccountable way understood to
be box No. so, at Jay and Washington
streets. The truck had gone two blocks IN
the opposite direction before it was stopped
and turned about.
On arriving at the burning building the
firemen found that the flames had made
rapid progress, but nearly all the inmates
had made their exit by the fire escape. -Four
never found their way out, and died from
suffocation. Their names are:
Mrs. Annie Murphy. thirty-two years old,
wife OF Matthew Murphy. Josephine Ryan,
five years old, Mrs. Murphy's niece. Kate
Dunn, twenty-three years old. dressmaker.
John Touhey, eight years old, Mrs. Murphys
son by previous marriage; died In st. Vln-
cents Hospital soon after being taken from
the building.
Up to the time of the arrival of the tardy
hook and ladder truck it was supposed that
every one was out of the building, and that
the flames were confined to the lower part OF
the house on the Doninick street side. When
the hook and ladder company arrived. Mat
thew Murphy, a fireman, jumped from the
truck, shouting wildly, Great God, it's my
house, My wife and my children! Where are
they?'
With one jump he reached the end OF the
swinging ladder, and then leaped up ladder
after ladder to a fifth floor. Finding the
windows of the rooms occupied by his fam
lily closed, he smashed in the sash and made
his way through the sitting smoke to
his wife's bedroom. Another fireman
named McLewee followed a few mo-
ments later, and found Murphy kneeling over
the dead body of his wife, while near by
were his two stepsons, John and Martin.
Cropping about in the darkness and the
smoke they found the blackened form OF lit
tie Josephine Ryan, the dead woman's niece,
and in the hallway at the foot of ladder
leading to the roof was the body of Kate
Dunn. Her hands were clasped about the
rung of the ladder and she had evidently
been overcome while trying to pull herself
up to safety on the roof.
Murphy had been married less than a
month. Mrs. Murphy was the widow of Po-
liceman Touhey, who died six years ago. Mr..
and Mrs. Murphy were dissatisfied with their
home in the Hudson street tenement, and
had made arrangements to move to other
rooms in Perry street next day.
The damage by the fire is less than $1,000.
1t originated in one of the woodrooms IN the
cellar and is believed to have been of in
cendiary origin.

Woman.

Variety is the spice of life and
you have it if you mingle much
with women. Men are more alike
and can be better understood.
One can usually tell beforehand
about what would please a man or
suit his tastes, but woman, never.
One may work up surprise or
plan a pleasure for the non-read-
able and unknowable feminine
mind and ninety-nine times out of
one hundred it will be tabooed.
Women are different in type and
difficult to understand. There is
the pretty, the useful, the in
telleetual, the designing, the
lovely, the handsome and the
p1ain-all distinct characters, all
pleasing in their way, but without
any sign by which one may ac-
count for or know them before
hand. She is a being of faith and
believes by intuition. She is
rather overreaching man and is
going to run the world-in fact
she always has.

NEW YORK STAGE NOTES.

Francis Wilson and his company re-
turned to the Broadway Theatre this
week, and from the enthusiasm with
which the "Merry Monarch" was re-
ceived, there is no doubt that its second
season will turn out as great success
as the first.
stMiss Elsie De Wolf, in Victorien Sar-
dou's latest play, "Thermidor," was
we'll received at the Twenty Street
Theatre on Monday night. If first night
enthusiasm may be taken as a verdict,
'sThermidor' is bound to have a long
and brilliant run.
"The Millionaire" with Daniel Sully
in the principal role, was greatly enjoyed
by large audience Monday evening,
and from the applause which greeted it,
it was undoubtedly success. "The
Millionaire" appears at the Windsor.
Miss Marie Wainwright's engagement
in New York, at Palmer's Theatre, has
been exteded till Saturday evening.
October "a. fanny Robsart" has been
drawing large audiences and Manager
Magnus would like to continue for two
or three months longer, but is unable to
do so owing to the contracts made for
Miss Wair wright appearance in other cit
les. As a rule the early fal! attractions in
New York are anxious to get out OF town
and in many cases they are willing to
cancel part of their time in order to
save large losses. This is not
so with Miss Wainwright, as she
has made money every week since
her opening at palmer's on September Z.
Miss Wainwright's success is thorough
ly well deserved, for she has given the
play a magnificent production which
stamps i as one of the greatest scenic
spectacles of the day. Her own acting
of 'Amy," has met with universal praise,
and she is supported by a splendid
company, which includes such famous
people as Horny Miller, Barton Hill and
Blanche Walsh. There will be only two
more weeks of this drama, and in order
to accommodate the crowds of ladies ex.
ira matinees will be given on Wednes-
days, October IA and 81.

This trip was a new experience
to most Of us that simmer day.

The New Post office.
Strange, But True.

An exchange truthfully re-
marks: Who ever saw a wealthy
editor of a country newspaper,
who made his money in that bust
ness? They are scarce as hens
teeth. And the reason is that he
has invested in his business from
three to ten thousand dollars; his
office duties are such that he can
not devote much time to any
other business; he is obliged to
pay his hands and all his bills for
supplies in cash; and then he must
send out his paper all over the
county, and wait for his money
one, two, three or more years, un-
til it suits his subscribers to pay.
The result is that instead of
having cash on hand, he soon has
several thousand dollars standing
out. some of which he never gets,
and often he must borrow money
. to meet his obligations And yet
there are people who think that
editors have nothing to do but
look for sorqe way to spend the

English and American Homes.

Much is said of the luxury of
the old world, but people who
have had opportunities for COM
parisen testify that the average of
comfort in living is much higher
in the United States than in Eng
land and Europe. Even the
homes of the wealthiest are
entirely lacking in comforts and
eonveniehees that are regarded as
indispensable among the middle
class and even the poorer homes
of the United States.
Many English houses occupied
by families of means are not sup
piled with steam or water, and
the general method Of heating is
by open fireplaces, fed with
smoky soft coal, Hot air furnaces
are almost unknown. Set bowls,
with hot and cold water faucets,
are regarded as permissible
extravaganza even by the wealth.
est, and only the very wealthiest
sometimes indulge in the luxury
of bathroom. A hotel having
one advertises it as special and
unusual attraction. Candles are
still much relied on for illumina-
ton.
A hundred other conveniences
regarded as necessaries in Ameri-
can homes are unknown in Eng
1ish households. A recent writer
on this subject remarks that "it
may be safely said that there is
not royal palace in all Great
Britain or Europe which is as
luxurious, OF even comfortable, as
the house of the average Ameri-
can of moderate means.

AMERICAN BOAT SEIZED.
The j. Hamilton Lewis Resists a Rus
sian Man.of4War.

News has just been received that the
American sealing schooner J. Hamilton
Lewis has been seized by the Russians for
poaching about Copper Island, and Captain
Mclean and his crew Of twenty-five Ameri-
cans carried to Vladivostock for trial.
The Lewis and two other schooners were OBJ,
served cruising off Copper Island. The Rtisi
sian man-of-war Alert shadowed them, and
finally caught the Lewis raiding the rookeries
on Behrlng Island, one of Russia's posses
sions. The American schooner was brought
to by a shot which lodged in her
hull. When e Captain of the Lewis was
ordered to come aboard the Alert he took
with him all of his crew, and free fight en-
sued on the man-of-war. The Americans were
finally overpewered and sent under guard on
passenger Steamer to Vlddivostock. The
seized schooner was taken there by d
prize crew. The Russians are said to b6
much excited over this bold raid on their
seal rookeries, and, it is said, severe punish
ment will be dealt out to the captured Amer
icans- The catch of Cooper Island this
season is only $4,000 skins, about one-half
the usual number

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Sixtieth Annual Report OF the Com.
missioner.

The sixtieth annual report of the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has just been
submitted to the Secretary of the Interior.
He thinks that the great forces now at work
land in severalty, the destruction of the
agency system, citizenship, and education
will, if allowed to continue undisturbed
reasonable length Of time accomplish their
beHeficient ends.
The millions of acres of Indian lands, now
lying absolutely unused, are needed, he says,
as homes for our rapidly increasing popula-
tion and must be so utilized. The enrolment
Of Indian pupils for the year ended June 80
has been II, 926 an increase over last year
of 154o. The amount of Con-
gressonal appropriation for Indian
education available for the year
to come is nearly 81, 250, 900. The commits
sioner regards the education of the Indians
as the only solution of the Indian problem.
The commissioner urges that the appropria-
tion of public funds for sectarian education
is contrary to the spirit of the Constitution,
opposed to public policy, and ought at an
early date to be discontinued. He thinks the
present time is peculiarly favorable for the
Increase of missionary work.
