LOVES YOUNG DREAM.
It Often Finds Its Realization
Through EIepement.

Some Recent Instances of an Interesting
sort--A Faint Heart That Failed to
Win a Fair Girl Who Afterward Ran
Away with Another Fellow.
Romance has exhausted itself On the
subject of elopement and has not yet
caught up with fact. No sooner does
some novelist portray an imaginary case
so complicated that readers say inven-
ton has reached its limit than some
couple in real life get up an elopement
that in the bizarre, the ludicrous and the
complicated completely discounts the
imaginary case. In short, there is no
end to the vagaries of love, and as the
world is progressing rapidly and social
conditions changing daily, it follows that
each new case presents totally unlocked
for features. w..

year-old daughter Of the famous Lucky

How the pleasures of early manhood

Judge Nathan Ell. Golf, Senator John G.
Carlisle, Senator Arthur P. German and
Governor Horace Boies. Yet it is rea-

her away from school. It was out of
the frying pan into the fire, however,
for it required but ten days in a New
York boarding house for her to form a
marriage contract with Edward Mar
SHUTS.
According to his story she suggested
that they wed at once, and then she
would return to California with her
father and wait till his consent could be
obtained. Marshutts hesitated and was
lost. Her father took her to the Bald
win home in San Francisco, and within
few months thereafter she and her
distant relative, George Baldwin, were
engaged. Her father was equally op-
posed to that arrangement, SO the young
couple went out on an ocean excursion
last January, and when five miles from
shore were united by the Rev. Julius
Fuendeling. All this remained secret
till the young folks left town together a
few days ago.
Marshutts had meanwhile made his
way to San Francisco, but when he met
Anita in the street she sdidn't know
him." 1t has since transpired that her
father had set detective to work, who
had managed to recover all letters from
Marshutts; the family now declares that
the whole story is whim Of his brain,
and were it not for few trifes of COLI
lateral evidence the discarded sutton
would be in a bad tx. The family pre-
sented him with a ticket to New York and
money enough to pay his expenses, but
he obtained position in San Francisco
and returned the favors. Baldwin seniors
fortune runs away up in the millions,
and as he has but two daughters, young
George Baldwin may be considered in
luck if the relenting is done all right
and ''all the neighhors say it will be.
When one reads in the papers of the
elopement of a very young couple and
their capture before getting married, he
naturally wonders if they afterward
wed. Well, generally they don't. The
parents know that if the sixteen-year-
old girl and ightien-year-old boy can
be prevailed on to 'wait until you're old
enough" they soon get too old. One Of
the funniest recent cases of motherlv
generalship was that of Mrs. Scarbor-
ough, of Trenton, whose nineteen-year-
old Isaac eloped with eighteen-year-old
Beuiah Sieman.
The young man nearly killed the Scar
borough family horse in reaching Phila-
delpllia, and then tried to sell horse
and buggy for seveaty-five dollars. This
led to the couples arrest. The mother
arrived, took what little money the
young folks had lett, sent Beulah home
by ono train and took her son on an
other. She then named the date when
they might marry. All Trenton had a
good laugh at 1.-THE kids" but (and this

A third gentleman, who had been much
interested in these stories, now volun-
teered third story: ''Some mice built
nest inside our piano once, and we
found it out by the noise they made rum
ming over the strings, though it puzzled
us at first. But I'll never forget how
our sitting room was haunted by little
noise like the very faint tinkle of small
bell that seemed to move around inside
the walls. Whenever we heard it it was
always moving. 1t continued night after
night. 1t was very faint but it bothered
my father a good deal, being SO mysteri-
Gus. At last he got crowbar and said
he'd find out what that was if he had to
tear the house down. So we all waited,
and pretty soon we heard it, and father
thrust the bar through the plastering
and made hole, and sure enough it was
bell, one of those little round ones.
There was string tied to it and the mice
must have been pulling it around in the
wainscoting. Whether they got caught
in the string or purposely seized it and
dragged the bell because they liked the
noise, as your old cat did the piano notes,
we couldn't tell. But it was moved so
much and so often that we concluded
the mice did it on purpose"
At the dinner of the Maine Historical
Society Mr.. Locke spoke of the desira-
bility of having exhibited at Chicago
some old colonial furniture. mantels, etc.,
from old Maine mansions. Although it
may not be generally known, some of the
finest of these old mantels are to be seen
in the Preble House, in this city. In
rooms 10 and 20 and the parlor are finely
carved marbles in the best style of art.
The figures carved ON the mantels in
room 10 are simple but very graceful.
There is about these old mantels none of
the heaviness and elaborateness of con-
struction characteristic of some modern
mantels; but they are simple and arts
tic; and in their day were probably
costly. The Preble House, as is we'll
known, is the old mansion of Commo-
dore Preble, and in its day was one of
the finest mansions in Maine,

'"That reminds me,'' said another gen.
tleman, who had been an attentive listen
er, 'of musical cat that we once owned
and that almost scared us to death. We
didn't use to light the parlor in the even
ing in the old home, though we always
left the door open into the hall, across
which was the sitting room. Well, for
several evenings in succession we heard
the queerest racket in there on the piano.
1t was just such noise as a ghost would
make, SO my sister said. The low notes
and then the high ones were all mixed
up, without any kind of tune, and just
as soon as one of us entered the room it
stopped. I was little boy and was
pretty scared. Even father and mother
were puzzled and little worked up over
it. At last one night, when we had a
light in the parlor, we heard the queer
playing, and my brother rushed in just
in time to see the old cat jump down off
the keyboard. We had not noticed her
before in the dark. After that we saw
her jump upon the keyboard and run
back and forth as if she enjoyed the
sound. She took up the notion all at
once, for we had had her several years,
and she stopped in a day or two as sud-
denly as she began

Maine Members of the Society of the Gin
cinnati.-some Ghostly Episodes in
Which Cats and Mice Played Leading

Everyone has heard of the famous old
order of the Cincinnati. It is for the
Revolutionary War what the Loyal Le-
gion is for the Civil War,-an organiza-
ton originally of veteran officers, and
perpetuated by election of descendants of
those officers. A very select band are
these members of the Cincinnati, and
they are very proud of their order. AL
though General Knox made the original
draft of the constitution, the State of
Maine has no separate branch, Maine
members belonging to the Massachusetts
branch. Occasionally one meets Maine
man wearing on the lapel of his coat the
blue and white button OF the order. Hon.
E. K. O'Brien, of Thomaston, always
wears this button. Another member of
the Cincinnati is W. Ell. Smith, Esq. of
Raymond; and in the Office of his hotel
many traveller has seen hanging the
diploma which the possessor prizes far
more than he would an order of nobility
Mr.. Smith is the grandson of a gallant
revolutionary officer who settled in Port
land after peace was declared. Every
Fourth of July the Massachusetts society
have grand dinner in Boston, which
the Maine members usually attend.

passing by the furnace and brushing his
clothes against it. got my revolver and
crept carefully down the stairs. I could
not see anyone and concluded the man
was behind the furnace. So I crept care
fully to the corner and then gave jump
around it. There was nobody there, nor
anywhere in the cellar. went UP stairs
and soon we heard the noise again. I
was little scared by this time but
went down cellar again. There was
no one there. I thought I'd scratch
down the fire little, so opened the
door beneath the frebox and out jumped
the cat. How she got shut in there we
never knew but the noise she made walk
ing around and brushing against the side
of the ash-box must have been what we
heard. AS it came up with the hot air
through those big, tin pipes it was mag

The Scottsville and Arvon baseball clubs
played a game OF ball at the latter place on
last Saturday. The Arvonians had Davis,
the professional pitcher from the Virginias,
Richmond. in the box for them, and he
puzzled the Scottsville boys for four in
nings. but after that they caught on to his
curves and knocked the bail in every direo-
ton. Finally he retired from the box and
played short-stop the rest of the game. The
features were the heavy batting OF the
Scottsville nine and the double play of
Mccullough in the first inning. w. Bashaw
knocked home run in the seventh. Ba-
