A romance turned up at the barge Office
yesterday. The actors were fne-lOoking

Is years, says the New York Press.
The man exhibited pass, signed by the
agents of the Red Star Line Steamship Com
pany, emitting him TO admission to the In
formation Bureau, to find Miss Rosita Ber-
gonot, who was a passenger on the steam
ship Rhynland, which has just arrived from
Antwerp. Ushered into the Information
Bureau, he drew from his cuat-pocket let
ter written In German, and FROM the same
envelope took picture. This he showed to
Superintendent SimSon, remarking that the
original was Miss BergonOt. The photo
graph was that Of a beautiful young girl.
" l am an old man." he said, but am 60
ing TO make her my wife"
Then he said he was Leopold Bentel and
that he was safe manufacturer and had
place in Brooklyn. While awaiting the
landing Of the steamer he told his story.
He was born and brought up in little vil-
lage in Germany, and, as his people were
POOR, he was put to work on the farm of j.
RhOir. one of the wealthiest farmers in the
country.
Rhoir had an only daughter, Hilda, a girl
OF TdT6 DeduIy. OuuR Deut6I grew 10 love
Hilda and she reciprocated his affection.
At last Hilda told her father that she in
tended marrying the farmland. Her
parents were mortified, and instead of the
blessing came Leopold's dismissal. He
came to America aud correspOnded with
Hlda for time, but at last he received
fearful letter stating that her parents had
decided that she should marry Baron Berg
onot.
In time came word that his old love was
mother. Six years ago he learned that the
OLD Baron had failed in business, and had
gone through with old Farmer Rhor'S
money along with his own. A year later
another letter told him of the Bar0n's death,
and said that his wife and daughter were
left penniless. Leopold Bentel wrote to his
old love and sent her money. Finally he
asked her 10 come to America, aud he would
fulfill the promise he made her years be-
fore. She answered that she would, and by
return mail he sent her money. Six months
ago he received Il cable message that while
preparing to leave home his old love had
died. Then he wrote to her daughter beg
ging her to come TO him and be his. Rosina
accepted his offer. and sent her photograph
to him So that he could recognize her.
Just as Mr.. Bentel had concluded his
story Rosina's name was called and beau
tiful brunette entered. Mr.. Simson asked
her if she knew Mr.. Bentel, and she related
the story. Bentel kissed her again and
again, and vowed that she was the image of
her dead mother. and that he would make
her life as happy as he would have made
her mothers

Special to THE MORNING CALI.

NEW YORK, June 18.-Chief Mate Lowell
of the steamship South Portland, from
Jamaica ports. tells a story of horrible
fight that he witnessed at Port Maria,
jamaica. -Four coolies, all natives of the
town, had become involved in bitter feud.
and decided to fight it out to the death in
the center of the public square The inclo-
sure was roped off, and at each corner stood
one of the men. They were stripped to the
waist, and each man grasped in his right
hand a knife with a blade seven inches
long. For a moment the men stood glaring
at each other; then the word was given and
the fight began. 1t was a case of every man
for himself with vengeance. Lowell says
without any exception it was th8 most fear
full sight he ever beheld. In five minutes it
was all over. When the police arrived three
bodies, hacked almost beyond recognition,
lay inside the ropes. The fourth man was
so crazed by his wounds that before the
police could lay hands on him he drove his
own knife through his heart.

His Stomach Always the victor.

When man has created a habit of eating
at certain place he thinks of that particu-
lar place whenever he gets hungry. He
may have begun by accident, have secured
geod seat. good waiter. or got acquan ted
with the proprietor, or got some favorite
dish to his taste, or met agreeable people.
Some Insignificant thing struck him favor
ably. In a few days he goes there by
habit. He gets angry and dissatisfied
every now and then and tries another place,
but he finds drawbacks everywhere and
goes back again. Habit is stronger than
the attractions Of superior food and cook
ery-str0nger than money considerations.
Ii it were not for habit the good will of a
hotel or a newspaper would be worthless,
and scores of restaurants around town
would be closed in a month. N. Y. Herald.

of the thing. He considered himself highly

LONDON, June 18.-In the debate in the

amendment of Buxton IiberaD to pro-

The Government was thus defeated. The

Buxton's amendment will effect 10000 to
100000 children in the Kingdom. now en-

and was opposed by the bulk Of the opera

abolishing of child-labor would provide moro

Morley challenged the Government to say
whether they opposed Buxton'S amendment

Home Secretary Matthews will save the

of the Ministers was incurred by an atti-

CLEVELAND's OPPORTUNITY.

A Chance for the ex-President to Work
OFF Superabundant Matter.
1t Is reported all the way from Russia
that Mr.. Sylvan Dornon, the man who
walked from Paris to Moscow ON stills, is
in a bad way. The officers OF the French
exposition in that town won't let him in to
see the pictures unless he comes down to
the level of other mortals; and, meaner
still, they want him to pay for his ticketl
Now that is pretty tough treatment for
such highly distinguished individual, but
there is al ways a lesson, or, at least, good
suggestion, for somebody in every story,
however sad. Walking on stills is an ex-
ercise that is neglected in this country, and
yet it is admirably adapted for the
reduction of superflous fat. Mr.. Grover
Cleveland, formerly of Buffalo, Is already
renowned for the energy with which he
set to work to do away with such SUPER
abundant matter He has tried fishing,
mountain climbing, running and jump
