Irving and Ills Wife.

One explanation OF Sir Henry lry-
ing's long separation from his wife is
this. Irving married when he was
very young and very poor. lie was u
Junior member of n travelling company.
and Il Was not until his marriage knot
had been firmly tied that he discovered
how aNcrso 10 the stage his wife was.
She lost an opportunity 10 run
down the profession. and she made n
practice Of telling her husband that he
would better turn 10 some other pro-
fcsylun before 1t wGs too late, for he
could never make an actor. This sort
OF thing lasted for several years. and
finally the lryimgs agreed to live apart,
John Tuolc's brother, Il srcnt chum Of
Irving. meanwhile had tried to bring
husband and wife together again. The
reconciliation took place on the day oi
the first performance of THE Bells

The Deadly pcrsimmon Worm.

William Smith. engineer of the Kel.
ly Single Manufacturing Company,
was found dead In bed yesterday from
the effects of Il bite of an insect known
as the "persimmon worm" This worm
IL called by that name because ii lives
principally on the leaves of the per-
simmon tree. Mr.. Smith was bitten on
the left hand. and he complained of
being sick within an hour. When his
dead body was found, the arm and side
had swollen immensely, and had turned
the color OF tobacco juice. These
worms are so numerous that the trees
upon which they feed are almost de-
nuded Of leaves. Five years ago they
were quite common in this locality.
The people in this ncighborhood hold
them in deadly fear. Some persons are
disposed to classify them as tobacco
worms, but neither the tobacco nor the
tomato worm, and really both are prac-
tically the same. have horns or spikes

A short time before the outbreak OF

little towns adjacent to IIodgenville,
a lovely girl, just budding into woman
hood, named Mary Schadcr. Her father
was a German grocer. In the same

man who stood high with all classes
of the community. He was advanced
in years, quite wealthy, and the father
of a large and interesting family. lie
