. light in Plainfield, N. j., .
few days ago, when death claimed the
destinies of DIR. Charles r. Stillman.
He died as he had lived for
many years. q forlorn dreamer
about . happy social condition from
which the fates prescribed him. In
his younger years he married woman
of many accomplishments. He built
up hopes of happiness that naturally
would be afforded by true love and q
salary of $40. 900 year. In q year or
two. however. q dark cloud appeared
upon the horizon of what had been

promised to love and honor young DR..
Stillman said to him, 1--WE must seps-
rate, forever"
He looked into his young wife's face
and tried to discern its meaning.
II no longer love you" she contin-
ued. go as far away from me as you
can, and go now"
The indictment was too plain.
Neither said another word. They
parted that day and never met again.
Stilman was SO affected that he never
asked the reason why. Under such it
is only natural TO suppose that Still
man would at once lose heart in the
hope OF connubial happiness Most
men of his educati on and comma ling
force of character would have sought
seclusion in retirement But fate was
not kind enough to him. He longed to
bask in the sunshine OF love even II
newly found. Weeks and month his and
finally years passed away. One day lie

William Schaus, we'll known New
York merchant She was beautiful.
accomplished and worshipped many
of Stillman's gods Besides
she had modesty which
crowned her as the queen of the
circle In which she moved. IL 10 not
strange that an attachment sprang up
between the pair. Stillman felt that
he was free to love. and he did with
all his soul.
When the Schaus famil, went TO
Europe. in 1885. Stillman accompanied
them. In the meantime Miss Schaus'
father had been told the story of Still
mans life.
At Paris Miss Schaus was taken dan
gerously Ill Under the care Of DR..
Stillmsn she soon recovered. Then he
went home 10 America To prepare
for their marriage. lie had yet
to sec IRE . divorce. At 6rst his
wife agreed 10 . divorce. When she
found that her husband wss about TO
marry again she changed her mind.
The same day that she refused to be
divorced her husband received . letter
from Mrs Bruckman Mabel schaus'
sister dated at Frankfort Germany,
Aug. %. 1884. In which he was In
formed that the engagement might be

Palace Car for an Equine.
When Mr. Bonner bought Sunol ont On
the Pacific coast at such an enormous Fl
ure, there were people who wondered how
such an expensive piece of horsefesh was
to be safely brought over so many, many
miles. and ii the price named was payable
upon delivery in good condition only. In the
case Of the baby horse called Arion, which
J. Malcolm Forbes, of Massachusetts,, pur-
chased for SIPS 900 from Senator Stanford,
the money was paid before the horse took
a step out OF his stall at Palo Alto Mr.
Forbes farm is 4 900 II lies from Palo Alto.
and the transportation from sea to sea
was at the risk of the purchaser. Two
DAYS after the sale Arion started east in a
palace horse car made the journey IN
safety and landed at Mr. Forbes farm feel
ing the risky 3-year-old that he was.
Just at the time of the sale it happened
that the Palo Alto consignment 10 the an
nual sales was ready TO start to New York
The private cars stood on the side track ts

was in perfect winter condition With TO
more preparation than the throwing on Of

stock chute and thence into the car.
He found quarters there which should
have made him ashamed OF his old white
washed home He was backed into a hard
wood stall, open at the top, the sides rising
to the height of his back The rear end
and both sides were padded like the corner
posts OF prize ring-a bit softer perhaps
and across the open front was placed re-
straining bar padded like the stall. HIS
stall was Uttered with straw. the feed box
was swung to the bar under his nose, his

upon him and he was ready. Right under

| which Arion was wearing. The doors were
closed and the ventilators in the top OF the
car, similar to those in a passenger coach,
were shifted so that no draft of chill air
could steal in. Night came on and the
lamps were lighted. A hinged bunk was
swung down from the wall in front Of
Arion's stall and the groom turned in.
Arion did not lie down. Horses are
never allowed TO do that, even on thirty
day sea voyage, and it is the only hardship
they suffer. Standing does not hurt them
much. They sleep very we'll with a lean

the tedium OF the journey the horses were
