ELoPED WITH HIS BROTHERS. WIFE.
Mrs. Helene NIau and her brother-in
law, Herman Mau, have been arrested
at Rockford, H., and taken to Freeport,
where warrant had been issued for
their arrest by Gustave Mau, who is the
husband of the woman. Gustave Mau,
and his wife were living at 4S5 West
Twelfth street, Chicago. Herman Mau,
Gustave's brother, who is butcher,
fell in love with his brothers wife, and
his affection was reciprocated. Last
Friday the couple eloped. Mrs. Mau
took her four-months-old baby with
her. They went to Freeport first, and
the angry husband followed so close on
their trial that they walked seven
miles across the country to Forreston,
leaving their trunk behind. From
Forreston they went to Rockford,
arriving there Monday. They kept in
hiding in an obscure boarding house.
Descriptions of the couple had been
sent out, and they were located by
Chief Bargen, at Rockford, III. Mrs.
Mau says that her husband treated her
cruelty, and that she loves Herman.
She was married in Berlin eight years
ago

Last summer one of our grandchild

Last summer one Of our grandchild-
en- was sick with severe bowel trouble.
Our DOCTORS remedies had failed, then
we tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and diarrhoea Remedy, which gave
very speedy relief. We regard it as
the best medicine ever put on the
market for bowel complaints.-Miss E.
G. Gregory, Frederickstown, Mo. This
certainly is the best medicine ever put
on the market for dysentery, summer
complaint, collie and cholera infantum
in children. 1t never fails to give
prompt relief when used in reasonable
time and the plain printed directions
are followed. Many mothers have ex-
pressed their sincere gratitude for the
cure it has effected. For sale by l..

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.

A great deal has been said about Mr..
Cornelius Vanderbilt since he has been
i'll, and the qualities that have won him
his place in the community have been
duly dwelt upon. Everybody knows
that he is a good man, whose conscience
works during all his waking hours, and
who tries to do his whole duty to his
fellow-men.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has done many things
that are very useful. For one thing,
he has lived an upright and honorable
life in public and in private, and that,
in a man of his conspicuous position,
has been a public service Of no small
importance. Then he has given
away great deal of money, and given
it wisely; has built churches and
college halls, endowed charitable and
religious institutions, and has doubtless
done a vast deal for individuals, and in
ways that are not known. He has been
great builder, too, on his own account:
and his great houses in New York and
Newport are beautiful examplesof arch
itecture, which please the eye and edu-
cate the taste. Yet, after all the labor
That has most engrossed his time and
strength has been what is vulgar)y
called making money"-that is, TAX
inc care of the interests which he
and his family control, keeping them in
such condition that they are profitable,
and investing their surplus returns.
1t seems possible, and the thought is
worth considering, that this service,
which will strike most people as
species of selfish labor, is, after all, the
most important that he has rendered,
and that which has benefited the most
people. A gift is appreciated because
it is understood. The labors of states
man are obviously in the interest OF the
public. But the labors of men who
manage great quasi-public corporations,
in which thousands of shareholders be
sides themselves are interested, and on
which thousands of workmen depend,
are not always rated at their true value
as public services. 1t is true, they are
we'll paid for, but it is also true that
they are immensely valuable, and often
times deserving of recognition in honor
and esteem besides what they yield di-
rectly in cash.-Hmper'S Weekly.

A ROYAL BAZAR.
Ladies of High Decree Wait Upon the
Purchasers

We pressed on, and the desire of our
hearts for ten days past was realized.
We began to buy things of royalty. The
bazar was given for the benefit of Prin-
cess Beatrice's Isle of Wight volunteers.
So of course il was about her booth,
decorated in green and black-the col
ors of her regiment-that the crowd
pressed in eageruess to gaze or to buy.
AS the members of the royal family
were not tagged" it was difficult to
know who was who, and, to our sur
prise, the gentry that were near us did
not know by sight their own royal fam
lily. But we quietly persisted, and found
the lady in blue and black-and
handsome gown it was. Of black silk
much covered with raised passemen-
terie, and with blue silk sleeves-was
Princess Beatrice. She was neither too
fat nor too red, as the English women
said she was. Her features are good,
her teeth perfect, her face interesting
and animated, and she carries herself
beautifully. One of us four, of the
"stars and stripes" in her eagerness
to own a souvenir from royal hands,
forgot TO listen to the manner in which
the English addressed these exalted
personages, and asked, in perfectly
dignified, but wholly American way:
viii you please tell me the price of this
vase?" Princess Victoria, of Schles-
wig -Holstein, turned away to hide her
smile, but Immediately returned to
business and gave the price. When
it was paid for she called in all the
four royalties near to make change,
did the article up in royal 'wapse"
of paper, and handed it to us with
smile and much less condesoension
than is vouchsafed us from many of
those duchesses that are hired to stand
behind our counters at home. This
princess was not pretty, but her gown
and hat were. The latter was white
straw, and her dress was blue silk fine
ly striped with white, the body covered
with real lace. There was such
dainty, pretty lady-in-waiting-Miss
Minna Cochrane. Her hair was white,
but her fare and figure were young.
She wore a gray chiffon with white
chiffon body, white satin Rows on her
shoulders. The princess called her
Minna, and she adorned the booth, be-
sides being of real service.-Harper's
Bazar.
