views OF SIN and contemplate a omanc OF
real life that has about it no faint Of i'll re-
pute or wrong doing. For four years Fred
and Ella WassmRn, of New York city, have
been man and wife, and during all that
time they have been true lovers as we'll.
The cloud that recently fell across their
sunlit path was one Of petty concealment,
and a tragedy nearly followed the dis
covery Of the tacit deceit. One morning
Fred met some old friends, and that he
might enjoy their company secured a days
leave OF absence from the manufacturing
hrm by which he is employed. He didn't
tell Ella about it, and right there the
trouble began. She learned through an
other source that he had been away from
his desk, and like many another sensitive
ly affectionate wife began to "imagine
things" Finally she settled down TO the
belief that her idolized husband had fallen
under the spell of some unknown woman's
charms. A coldness sprang up between
the married lovers, and Fred also took to
imagining. He figured It out that he was
only a plain every day toiler, and hat per
haps some richer and better dressed fellow
engrossed his darling's fancy. One after
noon Mrs. Wassman visited her mother
and staid longer than she had intended.
Mr.. Wassman on getting home from the
office found the house vacant and no sup
per OF the table. He concluded that his
wife had fled. so he packed his valise and
went to the home OF a friend, where he
talked over the situation and spent the
night Soon after his departure Ella ar
rived, and she decided that Fred had run
away. She cried all night and departed
the next morning. leaving behind her this
note:

Folly is not without subjects even in
these days of SO called level headedness
and common sense. Throughout the worlds
history the sentimental heart has fought
against the sensible brain in the Journeys
OF love, and nearly always the heart has
conquered Generally the happiest results
have ensued, but sometimes victory has
brought in its train disaster, shame and
misery unutterable.
We're the conditions otherwise the ap-
pended tales of three cities could not have

Ida Shaddock was the belle of Sites,
Colusa county. Cal, the daughter Of a
well to do artisan and the promised wife
of John McCarville. In all her twenty
five years Of life scandal had aimed no ar
row at her maiden fame, and she stood in
good repute, while stretching before her
appeared a bright and cloudless future.
Some weeks ago she went to San Fran
cisco, and thereafter the story of her fate
is this; The other morning, when the train
from the California metropolis arrived at
Benicia, an unknown young woman was
assisted to the platform in a dying condi-
ton. She expired while being conveyed to
a hotel, and an inquest showed that she
was a victim Of surgical butchery. 1t also
developed that she was Ida Shaddock, and
that she had been placed on the cars at
San Francisco by DIR. Samuel fl. Hall

company, two English engineers, several

their families, and several newspaper cor

del Norte to inspect the route of the pro-
posed ship canal between the Atlantic and
the Pacific oceans. She left New York
under the most suspicious circumstances
March IA. From that day until March &c
all the pleasures Of a yachting trip were
enjoyed. The weather was delightful, and
the passengers enthusiastic over the beau
ties of the tropical seas.
Early on the morning OF the Goth the ship
struck the coral reef. The rasping and
shaking noise of the contact brought every
one on deck in various stages of undress.
For a brief period there was excitement
and terror, but before daylight the absence
Of danger was apparent, and crew and pas,
sengers posed for their pictures before
leaving the vessel to seek shelter on IA
desert island seven miles away. The pho
tographer was Miss Scribner, daughter Of
the Hon. G. Hilton Scribner, of Yonkers,
n. Y.
Passengers and crew-ninety-three in all
reached the island in safety, and at once
set about making themselves comfortable.
Abundant provisions were secured from
the wreck, tents were erected, and with the
lhnereut loNe VI consblLullOnal lOrIlS OF pro
cedure which characterized most Ameri-
cans, a provisional government was formed
with ex-senator Miller as executive officer.
A boat was dispatched to the mainland to
apprise an anxious world Of the disaster,
and the party settled down for as delight
full a picnic as was ever experienced. One
Of the newspaper men says the whole affair
went off like a well planned summers out
ing. Food, water and amusement were
abundant The tropical breezes tempered
the hot sun and made day and night com
Portable. Besides, there was a good supply
of champagne and other luxuries.
The party was taken from the island al.
ter six days by the steamer Presideute
Carazo, from Greytown, belonging to Mr.,
Alfred Pellas, one of the shipwrecked pic.

bleed the animal He was some time in
arriving, and when he did come the COW
was found eating Mt a haystack, but with

followed, and it was found that the COW
had eaten copiously Of the refuse OF a

brought Against the Of the
New York World by IA London Advent
uress-Hu~Ibert's Career.
The literary and political circles Of Lon
don were recently stirred to their centers
by a breach of promise case in which an
actress named Gladys Evelyn was the
plaintiff and Mr.. William Henry Hurlbert,
formerly editor and proprietor of the New
York World, the defendant. The hearing
OF the suit occupied several days, and the
evidence was of a decidedly sensational
character. According to the story of Miss
Evelyn, who is a fine looking, buxom wo
man Of some thirty years, she met Mr.
Hurlbert in an omnibus, and they imme-
diately began a silent Irritation. Her
heart was in a wild hutter of excitement
when she alighted from the vehicle and
discovered that her unknown Faust" was
following her. She felt that she would
really like to know the gentleman, and
that feeling overcame her scruples and in
duced her to 20 through the Of
self introduction on his part. After the
ice was broken in this fashion betrayal
followed. Mr.. Hurlbert promised mar
riage, but after repeated evasions confessed
that the name OF Wilfred Murray, which
he is said to have assumed during the in
trigue, was false, and that he was a mar
ried man. Then, by way Of reparation, he
promised her 1900 cash and $50 a year
for life. This money was not forthcoming,
however, and on discovering the real name
OF her betrayer she brought this suit for
damages.
In defense Mr.. Hurlbert entered a com
plete denial. and charged the plaintiff with
a gross and wicked attempt at blackmah.
1t was utterly untrue, lie declared, that be
had ever passed under any other name than
his own. Formerly, however, he employed

her journey home against his advice, per
sisting that she was strong enough to un-
dertake the trip. Fellow passengers, how
ever, came forward and testified that Hall
must have known she was dying, as she
was semiconscious when he assisted her to
a seat in the car.
At this point John McCarville, who is a
railway engineer, took a hand in the search
for facts. Half distracted with grief he in
sisted on the absolute purity Of his dead
sweetheart, and only gave up his belief
when confronted by the most overwhelm-
ing proof to the contrary. But in face OF
all the evidence he sought to shield her
good NAME, while at the same time trying
to secure the punishment Of those he
thought responsible for her death. His
course was resented by DR.. Hall, who with
his son lured the young engineer into a
room and gave him a terrible beating. The
physician claims that Miss Shaddock vol
UNFAIRLY placed herself in his charge after
being treated elsewhere, and that he is in
nocent of any act Of criminality or inhu-
manity. The case seems to be a very com
plicated one, and the truth may never be
known. As it stands, the girl has died a
shameful death, her medical attendant is
in trouble, her lover is half crazed with
grief, and her stalwart fathers heart is
nearly broken.

THE MORGAN REGISTER,

A Register intended to include all stations of
merit that trace in direct male line to Justin
Morgan and having at least one sixty-fourth
OF his blood. All such stations foaled in or
before 1880 are admitted free. A fee of one
dollar is charged for registering each stallion
foaled since 1880, and for each mare whenever
oaled. All mares are eligible that have the
descent and inheritance above prescribed for
stations. The first volume, the final sheets
OF which are now being revised tor the press,
will contain about four thousand pedigrees,
carefully compiled from original sources, IA
sketch of the origin and history of the great
Morgan family, and much other new and orig
inal matter. The boob will be illustrated with
portraits of Morgan horses, and handsomely
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed, put will be as low as can be afforded, so
that the work may be widely distributed.
The work has been done throughout on the
plan of first exhausting all practicable means
OF getting and verifying information, discrim-
mating rigidly between what is known and
what is unknown, and setting down nothing
as ascertained which is in doubt. Sources OF
will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work for
himself. Full descriptions of the animals reg
istered will be given, and tables showing the
merits of the Morgans, as compared with 9th
er families, Tor both speed and endurance on
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received tor q short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address
