HAD ANOTHER LOVER
Guinn's Youthful Bride Ad-
mired by a Buffalo
Young Man.
FAVORED BY HER PARENTS
Jersey City Pastors Positively De-
eide Not to Have the Gentem-
plated Revival Services.

John Philip Quinn has won a bride, but
has lost an engagement. He will not assist
in conducting the revival services in tn
downtown churches, nor will he have an op-
portunity of telling how small are the win
ming chances of man who tackles faro or
poker or the wheel when an educated gen
tleman is at the box dealing or twirling the
ball. The following letter explains why
By reason of the recent elopement of EvaDg
elist John P. Quinn, his engagement with the
Union OF Churches iu Jersey City has been can
cellsd by order OF the pastors OF said Union
Furthermore his services have not been, secured
by the Tabernacle or any other church in the
Union. JOHN l.. ScUDDER.
I called at the crusaders car, Roanoke, to
have talk with Mr. Quinn relative to the
''cold deck" the pastors had ssput up" He
was not at home, having gone
to New York to make arrangements
for future engagements. Evange list Golf
had crossed the river to see friends. Mrs.
Golf was in charge
MRS. GoFF'S STORY.
Like all women in distress she looked for
someone to whom she could tell her sad story.
Distant from the friends to whom she could
have looked for sympathy, she sought one
among strangers. Fortunately my visit was
timely She raised the veil and dissipated the
suspicion that the elopement was mere ad-
vertising dodge. She was sincere They
have,known Mr.. Quinn only few weeks. Her
husband for seven years had been
engaged in evangelical work, and
was forced to absent himself from
his cosy home in Buffalo. She
demurred at the long separation, but being a
Christian woman realized that she had to
make sacrifices. In the latter part of No
vember Mr.. Quinn with his car arrived at
Buffalo. He is not an evangelist,
men the folly of attempting to win
fortune at the gaming table. He desired
partner, an evangelist, and Mr.. Golf had
been recommended. They met and q tenn
porary contract was made. Quinn's ambi-
ton was to cross the continent in his
car 1t was decided that they should make
the journey to New York as trial trip, and
it the results were satisfactory, then to con-
slider the work of travelling across the
States to Ca lifornia.
THE SCHEME WELL THOUGHT OF.
Mrs. Golf was enthusiastic over the pro-
ject, as it would enable her to be near her
husband, and her children would be with
them Mr.. Quinn had excellent recommen-
dations Miss Maud objected. She was
attending school and did not want to
leave Another and perhaps stronger reason
was that she had an adnirer in Buffalo, an
estimable and christian young man and a
favorite with her parents Prior to their
departure they were entertained at Mr.
Quinn's car. Miss Maud was reluctant
about going. Her admirer escorted her to
the car They did not want to enter,
but were persuaded. She met Mr.. Quinn,
who was attentive to her, and her objection
to the proposed trip ceased. She is a young
girl of seventeen years, had been reared by
earnest, Christian parents, and had an ad-
miration for man who had become

1t was on the first day of December that the
Golf family started in their home on wheels.
Mrs. Golf away from her friends
found her daughter companion
and with mothers affection felt that her
daughter was safe in their limited circle and
fatuation.
CONFIDENCE IN QUINN.
She had unbounded confidence in Mr.
Quinn, who was talented and agreeable
Now she can recall his solictude and atten-
tions to Maud At meal time he consulted
her about what would be an agreeable

to his latent fraternal love. Once while adj

window he offered to purchase watch she
said was beautiful. Her mother promptly
declared that she would not allowh her daugh-
ter to receive presents from any one except
her betrothed She did not then know that
they were practically engaged. Her mother
believed that her daughters affection had
been bestowed on the young man in Buffalo.
LETTER FROM EHER LOVER.
On Monday night, the day that Miss Maud
eloped and became the bride of John Philip
Quinn, letter was received from the for
gotten lover in Buffalo, gently chiding
Maud for not writing more frequently, and
answering his letters promptly. Mrs. Golf
said sorrowfully he was such an exemplary
young man, and this blow will be as hard to
him as it has been to u.s. AS to the future,
Mrs. Golf said, sadly:-'I cannot tell.
We had an earnest prayer meeting this
morning, and this afternoon there will be a
business talk between Mr.. Quinn and Mr..
Gof / hope Maud has not made a
mistake. Mr.. Quinn seems to be
a nice gentleman and will undoubtedly
prove good husband" Then she sighed
and her ewes were 1noistened with tears
