Back to Health.

| When the British ship Comliebank was
here in the latter part of 1892 Captain Will
liam Smith. her commander. was suddenly
| taken down with smallpox. At the time
| he was rooming ashore, at the house of a
widow, Mrs. Teresa Eddy, on Turk street,
near Leavenworth. A few days afterward

the captain was taken down with the
| dread disease and the neIghbors became
greatly alarmed. No one would walk on
the same side of the street as the infected
houses, and for awhile the stores in the
immediate vicinity lost nearly all their
patrons. Tradesmen supplying the houses
where the sick men lay handed their
goods up on poles to the upper windows.
The neighbors held indignation meetings
and eudeavOred to force the health Off
GERS to move the sick men out to the Pest
house, but were told it was uninhabitable.
Then they offered to pay rent somewhere
in the outskirts of the city for the use OF
the patients, but their efforts were of no
avail.
Captain Smith was sick long time, and
at one time. while delirious. be got out of
his bedroom window and tried to thIOw
himself to the pavement beneath. Before
he accomplished his purpose, however. he
was seized by his nurse and the landlady
as he hung to the sill. was drawn into
the room and lashed to his bed. Mrs.
EDDY was most assiduous in her atten-
ton to her r0omar during his illness. She
was a refined, handsome EngIishwoman
on the sunny side of forty and the cap
tain fell dead in love with her.
When Captain Smith was convalescing z
his ship was chartered to carry wheat to
Dunkirk, France, and he sent her home in
charge of his chief officer. Mr.. Carson.
He then laid siege TO the widows heart.
1t is true his face was rather marred with
smallpox scars. but he was a fine-looking
man and tolerably we'll off in this worlds
goods, owning shares in the ship he was
master of and also in others. He asked
Mrs. Eddy to become Mrs. Captain Smith,
but she was obdurate and refused. Tie
captain went home overland to take charge
of the Comliebank at Dunkirk.
He did not give up in despair, however,
but kept up correspondence with the
widow, renewing his protestations of love
and asking her TO reconsider her deter
mination. He did not plead in vain.
Early in February the widow, to the sur
prise of her friends, sold off all her belong
ings and took passage for Australia on the
steamer Monowai.
In the meantime the ComlIebank had
sailed for Capetown, South Africa, and
from there she was ordered to Port Ade-
laide South Australia. From there she is
going to Acapulco. Australian papers to
hand by the steamer Alameda contain the
following notice: "Married-At Adelaide,
South Australia, March 16, by the Rev. DR..

Lieutenant G. Woethe of the German
army will sail to-day from this city to Hon

extraordinary that it will create sensa-
tion throughout the civilized world.
He represents a new and astonishing
''ism," and even more than that, he is its
leader with following of many sincere
and enthusiastic disciples In the father
land, whose numbers are growing with
surprising rapidity. This novel philoso-
ply, if su b 1t can be called, is altogether
the most radical reform ever attempted in
this age of reforms-half whimsical and
wholly beyond credence, and yet it has
many plausible features which seem to
appeal to men and women In Germany at
present, and may attract recruits from
other countries when more widely known.
To begin with, it holds that modern civ
iliZation is unnatural and untrue, full of
vanities and false ideas. And all this it
undertakes to reform.
It's followers call themselves liz English
"Fruitarians." They eat nothing but ripe
fruit, won't touch cooked food of any kind

Their minds are supposed to be educated

BREWER AND ELLIOTT MAI sHoor.
Jake Brewer Looking Tor . Match with the
Kansas City Crack.

As two Of the best professional wing shots in
the world, viz, John l.. Brewer of this city and
j. A. II. Elliott of Kansas City, are now in town,
and, according to their own account, looking for
each others scalp, New Workers will probably
have an opportunity of seeing them shoot before
long.
Jack Brewer, who was found at q West street
hotel yesterday, said:
II have been trying for some time now to get
on n match with Elliott, but SO far without sue
cess. want to shoot a match with him at 100
first class birds at thirty yards rise and fifty
yards boundary, for either 500 or $500 q side,
or am willing to shoot three matches Of 100
birds each under similar conditions for $500 q
side, and | will bet him $500 on the outside that
my aggregate score will beat his, and. what Is
more, | will be ready to shoot at any time within
two weeks after receiving notice that he is ready.
Elliott is preferred In this challenge. but should
lie see NJ TO decline 1t Is open to any one In the
world"
Brewer afterward said that he had seen Eli
OFT during the day, and that the Kansas City
would shoot a match with Brewer in the vicin-
iy OF New York within sixty days. Whether the
match takes place or not remains to be seen.
Brewer In conclusion said: you have no idea
how hard j have tried to get on q match with
Elliott. In Memphis some months ago he came
to me and said that after he got through with
Carver he would shoot me three matches In the
East for $3.50 a side and the championship. |
afterward got a letter from him stating that his
hackers would not let him shoot outside OF Kan
