A Real Romance.
st. Louis GIobe-D Democrat

CHEYENNE, wy, May 4.-On the
platform of a Pullman at the depot here
yesterday morning IN lndolent looking
chap in English toys and a pretty young
woman in red conversed so earnestly
that they attracted the attention OF
everybody within range. Several pas
sengers were anxious to tell what they
knew of the story of the interesting
pair, and said that the man was Il frank,
heA.sr fellow, who would talk willing
ly. Cards were exchanged, and his
read: edward F. Griffin, Overseer
PublicWor Department, Hong Kong
He yielded his story like a major. SAID
he: 81 am trying to persuade the girl
here to stop off i'll Cheyenne and marry
me, but she wants to go to Colorado
Springs and see her folks about it first.
This is a genuine romance, just like a
novel. Eight years ago we were lovers
in Vermont, and were engaged. My
parents were Irish emigrants and poor,
and her people were well fixed. 1t was
agreed that / should start out to make
my fortune, and that she should wait
ten years for me. She has been true,
and she has waited like an angel. |
worked in the Chicago stock yards,
p~rospected in Colorado, and tried a
dozen things on the coast. Six years
ago l landed in Hong Kong. AT first
| vas clerk in a wholesale house, then
secured my present place. My salary
is So 900, and l make something on the
side, as you say in America. All the
time l have thought of the girl and
knew she was single and thinking of
me, though l never heard of her. She
now lives at Colorado Springs and has
been visiting with friends at Helena.
We met in the car at Ogden and rec
ognized each other at once. 1t was a
pleasant and sweet meeting. Before
the train had gone n hundred miles
we were engaged again, and will be
married at her home right away"
Grifin's story was corroborated by the
Oirl.

The Delaware and Chesapeake Ship
Canal, which crosses the Delaware
peninsular at its narrowest point and
runs nine miles through Delaware and
five through Maryland, has fish of
many kinds. Scores of families obtain
a considerable part of their food from
the canal, and many thousands of fish
are caught with nets in the locks at
Delaware City, st. Georges and Ches-
apeake City. AT a recent ''fishing of
the locks'' at Delaware City, the east
ern terminus of the canal, nearly 90
600 herring were caught, and il was es-
timated that between $4,000 and So
900 passed through the locks that day.
On the same day it was estimated that
the nets in the locks at St. Georges
contained at one time $4,000 herring,
The weight was so great that only 49,
600 could be brought ashore. After
such catches herring sell for little or
nothing and country people salt down
thousands of the fish for wintor use.

Another Strange Double Sun.

Boston, May IA communication
from DIR. N. c. Duner, of Upsala OBJ
servatory, Sweden, published in Bos-
ton to-day, furnishes an important
addition to the fund of information
concerning variable stars, with special
reference to the star Y Cygni. This Is
a variable star of the seventh magni-
tude, which was discovered by DIR.
Chandler in 1886. IL has been con-
stantly watched since That time by MIR.
Wendell and other observers of the
Boston Scientific society, and upon
this work i'll a large measure DIR. Duner
bases his hypothesis. DR.. Duner asserts
that the star Y Cygni IS composed of
two equally bright companion stars
which revolye above about their COM
mon centre of gravity in an eliptical
orbit. The eclipse of one star by the
other as viewed from the earth is the
cause of the variation in light, for a
bright star %interposed cuts off light
just as effectually as a dark one. When
one lies behind the other, the light of
the front star only is seen. But when

Only Man Ever Killed by a Meteor.


To the writer's certain knowledge
there is but one case on record where
a human being has been killed by an
~aerolite or fall of meteoric stone. The
fatality mentioned occurred in Whet-
stone township, Crawford county, o.,
in 1875, and is recorded in the Bucyrus
Journal as follows:
"As David Misenthaler, the famous
stockman of MILESTONE township, was
driving his cows to the barn about day.
light this morning, he was struck by an
aerolite and instantly killed. y " "
1t appears as if the stone had come
down from d direction a little west OF
south, striking the man just under OF
on the right shoulder, passing Obliquely
through him from the right shoulder to
just above the left hip, burying the
greater portion of his body under itself
in the soft earth. The stone is about
the size of a wooden water bucket, and
appears to be composed of pyrites OF
IRON"
