He was Desperately in Love Before
Marriage-lt Took Money to Release
Him Afterwards.
A very pretty little man m
from West Chester, Pa, in which
Roberts Beal's girl wife, Lille, is re-
ported to have received $40, 900 to re-
linquish her marriage certificate and
give up all claims upon him as. her
husband, has just reached a most in
teresting climax at Cain, Chester
County. If the report proves to be
correct Beale will doubtless cease to be
q wanderer in the far West, and re-
turn to the life of luxury and ease
which he formerly enjoyed as a mem
Der Of one of Chester County's wealth
lest families.
Robert Beale, who is q man of so,
himself developed his fascinating ro-
nance in the summer and autumn of
1892. He and his equally wealthy
brother resided in the mansion on the
hill, above Cain Station, on the Penn
sylvania railroad. They we're the
chief landed proprietors of the neigh
borhood. Near their mansion, down in
the little village that clusters about
the station, was the modest cottage of
Robert Walker, q section boss on the
railroad. In Walkers humble home
dwelt the prettiest girl in all the
neighborhOod-Lillie, his daughter
who was sent On frequent errands from
the cottage to the mansion.
On one OF these running visits to the
hill the charms of the section boss
daughter attracted Robert Beale, and
he was c9ptivated-lOve at sight it
seemed to be. Subsequently he sought
and found many occasions to meet his
little charmer, and, finally, one day in
October, 1892, the two took a train to
Philadelphia, and when, two days
later, they returned, the one to the
mansion and the other to the cottage,
Lille told with pride that she was
Roberts bride, and showed to her
nearest friends the marriage certificate
in evidence OF the happy union: for all
who heard of it the match seemed as
improbable as that wedding of poetic
fancy in which Maud Muller and the
Judge we're wed.
But the romantic fires which Cupid
had klndled seemed to have been COM
pletely extinguished at the touch Of
Hymen's hand. Beale had no sooner
claimed Lille as his bride than he had
sought to relinquish her. Again and
again she called at the mansion on the
hill, but its doors we're closed against
her: Mr.. Robert had given word that
SIG was uoI w 10 duHltIeQ, inc SER
wants said.
Two weeks after the wedding, Beale
went to Philadelphia, whittier he was
followed and traced by O detective
whom the girl bride had employed.
Then he vent to Denver, Col, and has
since been q wanderer in the various
cities of the West.
After Roberts mother had died, q
few week ago, Lille attended the
obquies, hoping there to find and claim
her husband. But he was not there.
Since then she has received and spurn-
ed an offer OF $4,000 to give up her mar
riage certificate and renounce her
bridal claims. Finally, as the imposi-
billty OF an intimate renewal Of mar
riage relations dawned upon her, she
was persuaded to give up her husband,
and thus, it is reported, the settlement
for $4,000 came about, and Robert
Beale is expected home again.

The Care of FlatironS--Valuc OF
Alcohol in Cleaning Lamp Chin
neys.
The negligent housekceper is in
clined to let the fatirons take care of
themselves. She leaves them at the
back of the stove, where they are
never cooled, and she secretly wonders
why they refuse to retain tho heat
when she heats them again for use.
Now iron and steel possess a peculiar
quality, which is called temper. Tho
temper of a steel instrument which
has been repeatedly heated becomes
lost, so that the instrument will not
retain a keen edge, no matter how
carefully it is ground. New irons,
which are heated to a high tempera-
ture and are cooled as soon as the user
is through with them, will last for
years, and the old irons become ever
more valuable, providing that good
care otherwise is taken Of them, such
as keeping them when not in use in q
cool, dry place, where they are not
subject to moisture or rust. If, how
ever, they are kept continually on the
fire, they lose their temper. a GER
tain quality departs from them, so
that while they may DO brought to the
highest degree of heat they will not
remain hot any length of time. Such
an iron is very annoying to an expert
worker. Irons that have lost their
temper had really better be disposed
of, as new one cost but little. There
should always be a dry shelf or closet
in which to keep the irons and other
articles of the laundry which require
such a temperature.
Pure alcohol is most valuable in
cleaning lamps, window panes, for
removing spots OF varnish from marble,
and many other spots which nothing
else seems to reach SO well. a few
drops of alcohol ON the inside of a lamp
chimney removes all trace of greasy
smoke, when water alone is of no avail.
Lamp chimney which are cleaned in
this way are not SO likely to crack as
when they are cleaned with water. A
tablespoonful or so added to the dish
watcr, in which fine glass is washed. has
a wonderful Frightening effect, giving
them u clearnoss that can never be at
tanned by soap and water alone.
Nothing dissolves varnish so quickly
as Il little alcohol. Though turpen-
tine and soap and water be utterly I'M
availing, old paint stains will often
yield to alcohol alone. The adyant-
age that alcohol has over turpentine
is that 1T evapOratos quickly and leaves
no residue behind, as %turpentinc does.
Though t%urpentine is excellent for
cleaning glass, it must be washed off
carefully, or a sticky film is the result.
