THEY FEAR BERl BERl.

Tho Japanese Disease Causes Alarm
 Among NewY He alth Officers.
 NEW YORK, Oct 24.-A new disease, contagious and fatal, has reached this port, causing much alarm among the health officers at quarantine. The dis ease is imported from Japan, where it is known as beri beri.
 The bark H. P. Cam arrived off quar- antine yesterday, 170 days out from uoilo, and reported that two deaths from the disease had occurred en route. Seaman Thomas Russell died on Sep. 23, and Carpenter John Nugent on Oct. g. Both were buried at sea.
 When the ship arrived at Norfolk, Vas, the first mate and seven men, who were stricken with beri beri, were put ashore and sent to the hospital.
 The disease is unknown here. The au- thorities are at a loss how to handle ii should other ships follow with the dis ease on board.
 The Cam is laden with sugar and tea and makes the third vessel which has reached this port in the past four weeks been reported.
 The disease is said to resemble yellow fever somewhat, but it is more fatal.
 The Cam will be detained at Quaran tine and thoroughly disinfected, while stringent measures will be adopted tc cope with the disease from other vessels arriving from the fever stricken Japanese ports.

recumbent figure, land, besides, am sore from the fall"
 "Nonsense!' exclaimed Dane; tits easy enough when things work right. This Is no time to back out"
 The youth groaned, and could see a feeling of pity sweep over the dove trainers face. She knelt beside him and whispered something in his ear.
 Dane's face grew dark, and thought he clinched his heavy fists tighter. In moment the consultation was over and the girl remarked, quietly: 'He will go. Get readyr'
 She was dressed in half circus cos tune, and the little scene in the dingy tent seemed al most theatrical.
 The doorkeeper and l went out to the balloon, and the girl soon followed. Martin laid the trapeze of tho para chute out on the prairie grass, and sta tioned sturdy young farmers at the guys with sharp knives to loose the cap tive balloon at the word.
 Then the "Ringold Brothers'' ap- peared at the tent door, resplendent in red and white tights. The older was yet angry, while the generous applica- tion of paint given the cheeks of the younger did not entirely conceal their pallor.
 The performers were suitably and bombastically introduced to the crowd as ''the greatest aerialists now on earth;" and they took hold of the tra- peze, and the word was given.
 With a quick swish the guy ropes ! were severed, and the balloon gave a sudden tug to it's burden, lifting it slowly away slzywarl So uncommon was the sight out on the plains, that of the hundreds present not half score saw three events that happened around | them almost in an instant. As the balloon lifted the parachute and trapeze from the earth some ten | feet, Dane let go his hold on the bar, and fell to the ground. The rising mass gave a lurch, and leaped faster upward. Already the long trail rope had but few feet yet lying on the sum- burned prairie grass.
 l Like flash something red and blue and spangled sped by us and seized the rope, which just then was carried into air. It was Mile. Marchon, and her 1.-the little body was swaying back and forth like long pendulum at the end of the strand, and steadily, hand over hand, she climbed upward, until, just
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-10-24

as the two bodies became indistinct, we could see the clinging figure on the pole lift her up to his side and draw her close to him.
 Then we turned to Dane. He lay like one stunned at the door of the tent, gazing at the rolling and tossing balloon. As we looked at him con- fession seemed wrenched out of his very soul, and he gasped: 1.-The para chute won't spreadr'
 Then l knew it all, and trembled with reproach that did not better understand what was likely to come. Dane's jealousy had nearly killed the boy two days before, and now meant to complete the work. The dove trainer, thinking Dane's fall would simply send the balloon higher, had given herself as a ballast, and would share the young rivals fate.
 Higher and higher in the clear air went the balloon, the smoke rolling out of it's open lower end. The clinging figures on the crossbar were merged into one. First ordering Dane watched, the doorkeeper and myself mounted horses, and followed as fast as we could the course of the aerialists. Soon it was evident that tbe strength of the heated air was exhausted, for the balloon and it's passengers began to descend. That it's speed was rapid was also evident, for the weight was greater | than was intended for it at that stage | of the proceedings.
 Suddenly there was a separation. The rope connecting parachute and bal. loon had been severed, and the pair would trust themselves to the big um- brella- But the umbrella, as Dane had said, would not work. The great ribs refused to expand, and like shot from a tower the trapeze bar and it's occu- pants were dragged downward. It was a chaotic mass of ropes, bars, canvas and spangles that we found a half-mile further on upon the prairie. Amidst it all lay two still forms closely locked in each others arms. Martin lifted his daughters face. No need tc ask if there was hope. The pretty features were pale, but the dark lashes lifted, and the eyes looked at us in that trustfulness of childhood that comes to older hearts in times of peril. Her com. panion had fainted away, and she socr followed him.
 | We hurried them back to the tent and laid their bespangled forms on the ground. It was hours before they regained comple te consciousness, bu there were no bones, broken The canvas had fallen under them anC eased the blow.

A ROMANTIC couRTsHlP.
How a Young Spokane Lawyer Won Brooklyn Girl.

Brooklyn Girl.
 BROOKLYN, Oct. 24-Eighteen, months ago little Gertie Homan, the 10-year- old actress, daughter of William Homan of 65 Hooper street, Williamsburgh, while playing in the Little Lord Faunt!erov" company at Spokane Falls, met Mr. J.
 Kennedy Stout, wealthy young lawyer, who was also the dramatic editor of ths Spokane Spokesman"
 MT. Stout had attended the perform ance and was delighted with the little lady's work. He secured an introduction to her in the green room, and before the company left Spokane had her promise to cores pond with him.
 Toward the end of the season he lost the "road" of the show and sent letter to the Williamsburg home of his young correspondent. Her sister, Ida, pretty brunette, opened the letter and replied to 1t, informing MT. Stout where Gertie was playing. In the mean time the little &C., tress had sent him a letter, too, and 8 photograph containing the picture of her
 self and her four sisters, among them that of her sister Ida.
 MT. Stout answered Ida's letter and asked her to keep him informed of Ger ties movements. Several more letters
 were exchanged. MT. Stout sent his pho- tograph to Ida, and a short time after
 ward they became engaged. No date for the wedding was set, it being intended that the couple should arrange that when | they met.
 As Mir. Stout is member of Gov | Ferry's staff he had to accompany his | EXcellency to Chicago for the dedicatory | celebration. He wrote his fiancee and | after great deal of hesitation Miss Homan | consented to meet him to-day and ar range to be married this week. He will arrive at the GranI Station this after ! noon from the Vest and there will be a t party of friends to meet him. 1 MT. Stout is worth more than a quarter | of million dollars. He is well known
 in the State of Washington. He is about
 30 years old, and while a reporter on the \ New York ''Tribune" ten years ago took Horace Greeley's advice to go West and
 grow up with the country.

 doorkeeper and general manager, made up the "Ringold Brothers Amusement Aggregation" which so sighted the people of the prairie towns.
 Our county fair managers W ere deter mined to have something unusually at tractive, and I, the farmer-preacher Of the neighborhood, was sent to make ar engagements, if possible, for the appear ance of the "Aggregation." There was little outside amusement on the prairies in the early days, and found the whole of the adjoining county, apparently, surrounding the strangers when first saw them. The girl was slender, dark, and supple. The ''brothers'' as unlike as the poles-one, Dane, heavy, strong, and firm musclcd; the other, mere boy in appearance, with clear blue eyes and delicate features.
 There had been an accident during the afternoon exhibition, and George had been hurt. He lay on a bunk in the rear of the tent after the crowd had dispersed.
 Much hurt, my boy?" asked a visi- tor.
 "shoolz up some. My bones ache pretty bad"
 What was the matter?"
 ''Th' parachute didn't work right, an come down hard. We go up together on tn trapeze bar an Frank stays with tn balloon while I drop. Things didn't go right to-day"
 The dove trainer just then came in and inquired as to the young balloon ist's condition. She put her hand on his forehead, and a flush swept over his pale thin face.
 ''Ie wants her to marry him" the boy said, when she had gone out; land her father wants it, too. She don't know what to do"
 "And you?"
 'I want her, too, and he hates me for it. The accident to-day did not make him feel sorry" The business manager entered, and arranged for the cOmpany's appearance at PlainvilIe the next day but one. A county fair in the west is unique. There can be nothing like it, for no where else can the people live under | the same conditions. It is not held in a grove of stately clms, but on a level, sunburned prairie, separated from all | the surrounding sunburned prairie | only by a barb-w wire fence. The rough, | unpainted sheds hold horses and cattle from the settlers claims-the best they have, but innocent of pedigree or reg istry. Vegetables and fruit are scanti- | ly sheltered from the hot sunlight by l board awnings. Horticultural hall is never lacking, and is shed but one de- gree better than that used for the stock. It contains as motley a collection of | curiOs as ever graced a vanity fair. Every family in the neighborhood has some heirloom of past and forgotten greatness back in Maine, New York, Virginia or Illinois. These, with the crude bedQuilts and sunfiower lambre' quins of native handiwOrll, combine to make the display cosmopolitan and en- tircly nOn-sectiOnal.
