Etical antagonist of King Oscar, is
thoroughly respected by the king for
his honesty, sturdy independence,
craftsmanship, and above all for his
fairness in the political strife that now
agitates the two countries. King Oscar
has requested Mr.. Sverdrup to form a
ministry, but the Norwegian leader re-
fused as the right and the moderates

Notwithstanding. his refusal Sverdrvp is

that the union between the two coun-

Jacob Liv Rostad Sverdrup, born
March 81, 1s45, is by profession a cler-
gyman OF the Norwegian Lutheran
church in the diocese of the city Of
Bergen, and is also distinguished as q
writer and speaker. Elected TO the
storthing in 1878 he joined the political
party of which his distinguished uncle.
John Sverdrup, was the leader. In 1854
he was appointed member OF the Nor
wegian council of state and served as
chief of the Norwegian ecclesiastical
department, 1861. Resigning from
the Norwegian cabinet in 1889 he was

such she proved to be, did not come,
and he sent no message to the faithful,
waiting woman. Each day Miss Bar
rios impatiently awaited the coming of
the rumbling old stage, and each time
turned from her window, the face
clouded with disappointment. The
third week she passed almost entirely
in her room, and the servants COM
mented on the fact that she was almost
always in tears.
One bright moonlight night Miss Bar
rios left the hotel shortly after tea,
saying that she would ''go for stroll,
it being such a charming evening""
She wandered away to the falls. Two
gentlemen saw her sitting on a large
rock overlooking the cataract, and nv
some strange intuition decided to watch
the woman. For nearly an hour she
sat there, then suddenly arose, walked
to the edge of the rock, jumped into
the river and was carried over the
falls. Word was taken to the hotel
and the landlord went at once to the
room so lately occupied by his fair
guest. Her trunks were packed and
locked On a table were two letters,
one addressed TO the proprietor, the
other to her lover. In the first was
a large sum of money, with directions
TO deduct enough to pay the bill and
that the balance should be used TO give
q Christian burial in case her body was
ever recovered
without love nv life is without
hope" read the letter, and my love
will not come"
The very next night the great stage
coach drove up TO the hotel and dis
tinguished and dignifed-looking gem
tleman alighted and registered as DR..
George Il. DeFeece. He hastily
glanced over the register for several
DAYS prior. and then asked the clerk if
Miss Barrios was guest of the house.
In reply the clerk handed him letter
addressed to him by the fair suicide.
TIE stranger read il and u strange
pallor came over his face as he tenderly
and carefully folded il and put it in his
rocket. For more than an hour he
stood a. the window. then turning
asked the clerk TO send a man with
him TO the spot where the tragedy
took place. After visiting it he re-
turned TO the hotel, and the next day

the body. offering large reward for
its recovery. It was found late in the
afternoon below the rapids. and two

The check was for oneithousand dol

the heads of the firm it was decided to
accept the trade, and the stranger de-
parted with his jewels.

jeweler took the check toithe man who

at once denounced it as forgery. Then

account of'the people thatwere met at
every point.
Late in the afternoon the party
reached place on the Canadian side
opposite The whirlpool rapids, where
the banks rise perpendicularly to a
height of over one hundred feet. Mrs.
Quigley sat down on log under some
trees, while Day and his wife sauntered
along the bank of the river. Day
looked carefully about and saw that no
one perceived them. Calling his wife
to look at the swirling waters OF the
whirlpoolifarb below, he pushed her over
the bank. She fell about eighty feet
into a -crcvice made by jutting rocks,
and inia position that her body could
not be seen except Bullying down and
looking over the bank at the point from
which the unfortunate woman had been
pushed TO her death.
Day and his sister took the evening
train to Rochester. The gateman at the
station in fhatcity saw the three de-
part in the morning and the two re-
turn at night. He knew Day and asked
in a joking way if his wife had fallen
over the falls" Day replied that she
had gone to Canada to visit friends.
This information was impaired in a
casual way to the writer, who knew
Day, and who, at that time, was a re-
porter on morning paper. The news

the Rochester detectives, arrested Mrs.
Quigley. Sheitold an entirely different
story as to the whereabouts of her

ENDED AT NIAGARA
Stories Of Murder and Suicide at
the Great Cataract.
Sad End of Beautiful Spanish Girl-Ths
Tragic Murder Of Mrs. Arthur Day
by Her Husband and HIS
Sister.

As one gazes at the falls he can only
think what great emotional effects can
be produced on the heart and mind by
a wilderness of water rushing, as Il
were, hilariously to its fate, and then
pausing, staggering and pushing back
ward, as if to avoid it, and then slip
ping quietly, despairingly and in the
most emotionless way over the high
precipice. Men with poetic minds tell
US that the wild turbulence of the
waters brings that sense of peace that
has caused so many to seek death be-
meath its silvery sheen and go down
forever in the seething, swirling mael-
strom of the rapids. Niagara has seen
many romantic, strange and sad deaths,
and over its brink the most beautiful
women have passed. as have men who
had made their mark in life and were
exalted in the leading professions.
One OF the most romantic as well as
the saddest tragedies at the great cat
aract, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, was the suicide of a handsome
Spanish woman who leaped over the
Horseshoe falls in the autumn Of 1912.
1t was in the old stagecoach days, when
the numbering four-in-hand played such
prominent part in trip to Niagara.
One evening in the early part of Oc-
tober the stage coach from Buffalo
drove up to the door Of the old Cata-
ract house, and one Of the first persons
to alight was handsomely dressed
woman, whose age could not have been
more than twenty-five. The elegance
of her apparel and appearance denoted
a lady of wealth and refinement. She
sent a card to the clerk on which was
printed the name Miss Evelyn Bar
rios, Philadelphia, was registered and
assigned to one of the handsomest
rooms in the old hostelry.
Miss Barrios was about the hotel for
several days, and in confidence told the
landlady that she was there to meet
her affianced, a wealthy gentleman
from the Quaker city, and that on his
arrival they were to be married. She
visited the falls almost daily or wan

the roaring, tumbling waters far be-
low as they rushed along to the whirl-
pool. Two weeks passed and the be-
