admirably, and as Milverton, capital
dancer. steered her round the room. he
felt in the seventh heaven of delight,
and his eyes spark1ed with the rapture
to which he had surrendered himself.
He could not, however, surrender his
charming partner without an effort,
and SO asked her to accompany him "a
the conservatory, where the air was
more cool and refreshing.
As he sat beside her he felt that his
destiny had come, and resolved to know
his fate as speedily as possible.
He, however, succeeded so far in con-
trolling himself as to engage in ordi-
nary conversation at first, during which
he elected that her name was Ethel
dreda-that her father was rector OF
Wisborough, in the ueighborhood, and
took deep interest in Anglo-Saxon
literature-and that she was not en-
gagged.
He then told her of himself, in which
account he fancied she seemed inter
ested, but it was her turn to wonder
when he added that he knew she was
not engaged, as he had been waiting
for her all his lifel He extenuated his
presumption by detailing his theory as
to his destiny, ana when she said that
she remembered passing him in the
park during the season, with her uncle
and cousin, he became all the more en-
raptured, and assured her that he felt
then as he felt now that in their thus
meeting, it was the hand of fate that
had brought them face to face, al
though only for a moment.
It only remains to be added that So
ciety was much moved when the an
nouncement of their engagement was
published, that the marriage duly took
place from Norman-Keep, the residence
of the earl and countess Of Chesterman,
that Bruce Armitage was best man and
that Hon. and Mrs. BERTHE Mi1verton
lived happily ever afterwards.
So much for destiny, and those
lovely eyesl'

Mrs. Sallade the woman Parkhurst,
who is determined to purify West Twen-
ty-fourth street, between Broadway
and Sixth avenue, was ready this morn
ing to defend her pet donkey which
Mrs. Cox, the boa riding house mistress
at No. 80, says is nuisance In the
neighborhood.
The donkey became an issue In the
crusade after Mrs. Cox ridiculed Mrs.
Sallade's efforts at a meeting of prop
erty-holders on Tuesday. Mrs. Sallade
then declared that there are some
" shady" boarders in Mrs. Cox's house,
although she didn't blame Mrs Cox for
1t, whereupon the latter announced that
she was going to complain to the Board
of Health about Mrs. Sallade's donkey.
Mrs. Sallade announced this morning
that she didn't care particularly what
Mrs. Cox said about her. but she was
not going to have the donkey DETAINED

Mrs. Sallade also announced this
morning that she is through with the
controversy with Mrs. Cox, and will
hereafter devote herself to purifying
the street. She stated that she had

not reveal the contents, and Mrs. Cox

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-President
Cleveland left Washington via the Penn
sylvanla Railroad at TO this morning
for Gray Gables. In explana ton OF his
sudden departure the following state
ment was furnished by Private Secre-
tary Thurber:

ben suffering for several days. Yester-
day the attack eliminated In a fever,
but which was under control this morn
Ing. DR.. OReilly, his physician, OK

Of rest will recuperate the President
sufficiently to enable him to renew his
ofiicial duties. and he will return to
Washington by the middle of next week.
He has gone to Gray Gables, and Is ac-
companied by DIR. O'Reilly."
Capt. Robley d. Evans also accom-
panied the President, but 1t is probable
that he will stop at New York, where
he will take command of his ship, the
New York, in a day or two.
Senator Berry, Representatives Outh-
waite and Turner, of Georgia, and sew
eral other Congressman called at the
White House soon after 8 o'clock and
were surprised to find that the Presi-
dent had departed.
The President took with him printed
copy of the Tariff bill and also the River
and Harbor Appropriation bill. The

ident has to act on the River and Harbor
bill expires Saturday night, but he has

In answer to the policeman's ques-
tons, the woman said that the man was
her husband; that they had just arrived
in the city. and were shelterless and
penniless. They were led to Chambers
Street Hospital and transferred thence
to Bellevue.
There the old man made the statement
In q befogged and disconnected way
that he was John Unlicher. a native Of
Switzerland. ninety-eight years old, and
had been in America for fifty-elght
years. The woman said the was his
wife, Mandy, q native of New York
State, and did not know her age.
She appeared to be about forty-five

The old man did not say that he had
seen Napoleon in person, and while he
could not recollect the names OF the
actions he remembered well and appa-
rently with much pride that he had
fought for the great Kaiser.
Later in the day Mr.. Blake, after as
pertaining all he could from them, con-
cluded that It would be unfair to charge
them to any country. He believed they
roamed about from one to another, and
that no county, owned them. He
therefore, decided that they were State
paupers and sent them to the Flatbush
Almshouse, which receives a portion Of
the State appropriation for paupers
who are not a charge on any county.
