Death Overtakes Two Miliionaires
Through Natives Theft.


The filing of the will Of August Kull-
man by Surrogate George s. West in
Camden yesterday brought to light a
very pathetic story, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
August Kullman was the promising
son of a methodist episcopal minister,
stationed at Sea Isle City. Miss Ade-
line 9. weatherby was the daughter of
the Rev. Samuel G. Weatherby,
methodist episcopal minister, who was
stationed at Haddonfeld. The young
people became acquainted in attending
religious gatherings and an attachment
was formed which terminated in mar
riage, which was attended by many
prominent persons from all parts of the
state A short time before the mar
riage took place there we're urgent calls
for missionaries in India, and the two
decided after marriage to devote their
lives to missionary labors.
After the ceremony they started for
their field Of labor at Asauool, Bengal,
India. They reached their post Of duty
in February, 1895, one month after their
marriage, and entered upon their du-
ties. They had been laboring but
short time when the natives began to
die of cholera. The young missionaries
were advised TO save their lives by go
ing to other parts, but they decided to
stay and minist-r to the sufferers.
In order to a disease they de-
cided to drink NJ :, as It was de-
clared to be pollute nd the cause Of
the spread Of the con ion. They pur-
chased a COW and drank the milk, and
were free from the dreaded disease.
From the meager information at
hand it appears that on July 25 one Of
the natives, during the absence Of the
missionary and his wife, drank guam
tity of the milk and, in order to con-
ceal his crime, he procured some of the
contaminated water from a stream,
which was placed in a receptacle with
the milk.
When the missionaries returned from
their mission of love and labor with the
natives they were very thirsty and
drank considerable Of the watered milk.
They ate light supper and attended
prayer meeting. During the service
Mr.. Kullman was taken i'll and was as
sisted home. On the way Mrs. Kull-
man was attacked. All night long the
husband and wife, attended by other
missionaries, fought with the dreaded
plague, being unable to account for the
attack, as they had escaped so many
months. In a strange country, hun
dreds of miles from home, they tossed
on their couches, offering each other
all the encouragement possible under
the circumstances. At 4 o'clock on the
morning of July &c Mrs. Kullman be-
came unconscious and died. Four
hours arerward Mr.. Kuilman died.

An Island Disappearing.

Little Hammock island, one Of a
group of many lying off South Norwalk,
Conn.,, is gradually disappearing be-
meath the waters Of Long Island sound,
and in few years more, scientific men
agree, the famous island will, like its
sister island, Big Hammock, be but a
memory. The Norwalk group has long
been popular summer resort for veal
thy New Workers, and was a famous
picnic ground thirty years ago. Big
Hammock, with its shade trees, broad
acres and many romantic hooks, was
crowded from early summer until fall
with people who pitched their tents
there and spent their time hunting, fish
ing and lounging about the shady
beach. Finally it began to fade away,
and eventually disappeared altogether.
Where the island was the water is now
several feet deep at low tide, and forms
part of an immense oyster tract. Oys-
termen first noticed that Little L'Ham-
mock was growing smaller about five
years ago, and during last summer II
was plain that the land was surely set

perfect understanding between them.
1t was because of the perfection and
ease Of this understanding that he

10 lean toward Mary Mason.

be a good one and helpful in a worldly

"Of course" said Alice; "of course,
but, Ned do you think that just her
particular cast of mind would suit you?

Ned, and you know I'm talking only

for some unaecountable reason she

so? He can give me so many pleas

But, Ned"

Why, you're not angry, are you
Ned?"
Angry? Oh, no; what have got to
be angry at? It's nothing to me-"
But we are friends, and we were to
advise each other, you know"
well, isn't that what I'm going to
do? What mean is that l don't think
Lat Henry Armstrong is half good
enough for you; and l don't believe
you love him, either"

into my face"

"Of course, but you want to marry
some person who is congenial."
We'll, thought"
"Yes, you thought. A woman like
you, Alice, needs somebody to think for
her." and this lord of creation stalked
away in high dudgeon.
As he went into the gate at home that
night, and Rover camG frisking to meet
him, he gave him a kick that sent the
dog bowling away-just like man, you
know.
He wrote a letter that night, and
posted it and Alice received it by the
first mail next morning.
1t ran thus:
Miss Hartwell: Your actions are
entirely beyond explanation. The heart
of a man is not to be played with. But
I hope you will marry Henry Arm
strong and be happy. 1t doesn't matter
what becomes of me. Your neglected
lover, Ned"
Alice read it and laughed and cried
in turns over the words.
Two hours after its receipt Ned fol-
lowed 1t in person, with a highly in
jured air.
And she, because she was very soft
little person, ran to meet him with a
glad face.
"oh, Ned" she cried, "I never did
want to marry Henry Armstrong, at all.
But you said we could only be friends,
and mutual critics, and--Ned, a girl
wants to be loved"
For the moment he forgot his fine
ideas and he cried with a tremulous
voice: IF you'll just stick to me, Alice,
I'll love you we'll enough"
Then, Ned, our friendship is all
past"
"Can't a man and his wife be
friends?"
She laughed.
"And for a critic?"
ooh, after ALL" he said, "a mans
best critic is his wife"
And the wiseacres said: wasn't Il
beautiful? Knew each other from

victim of Chicago grip car. George
F. Francis, the owner of the dog was

Nina and Daisy, and Major F. was also

noticing a cable train approaching,
stopped and whistled to the dog, which
was a considerable distance ahead of
him. The Major turned while on the
track and was caught by the wheels
of the grip car, breaking his neck and
right shoulder. He was dead when
the train was stopped. Major F. was

hopefulness and enthusiasm for life. |
But each had a strong foundation Of !
good common sense and earnest, up
right purpose.
Both Alice Hartwell and Ned Nor
gan intended to accomplish something
in life and with each other they were
in no wise reticent as to what they
should demand of the world.
They had been friends from youth
and when the girls return renewed
that friendship in all its intensity the
gossips had much to say Of long set
tied matrimonial understanding.
But the young people laughed the
idea to sCorn.
1t was the SUI 'ect Of conversation
one August after con as they sat to-
gether in the cooling shade Of the vines
Of the Hartwell porch.
"The very idea, laughed Ned; these
old people here haven't any idea be-
yond marrying and dying; can't they
understand that there are some other
contingencies Of existence beside
these?"
"Of course not" answered Alice. also
laughing, "and they would deem It rank
heresy to hear you say so. You must
remember that Blanktown has its code
OF rules and proprieties, as changeless
as the laws Of the Medes and Persians."
"There is only one thing for young
man to do when he likes a girl"
"There is only one thing for a girl
to do because she is a girl" laughed
Alice.
''The very idea of you and me being
lovers" went on Ned, when we have
been playmates, chums, companions,
from the mud pie period"
"-Fhe idea" echoed Alice; why,
there couldn't possibly be any romance
about such a thing"
Familiarity kills romance, you
know" He said it as II he were utter
ing one Of the foundation truths Of the
ages. And she acquiesced with: "ot
course"
"These people here" he continued in
an oracular tone, cannot appreciate
the beauty of a perfect friendship ex-
isting between man and woman; they
can only conceive of such friendly rela-
ton degenerating into an affair OF
kisses, tears and sentiment"
"But we shall give them an example
of something different, shall we not
Ned?"
Yes, of a perfect friendship, where
sex shall not be considered, where one
shall be the confidant, the critic and
the inspiration of the other"
How glorious it will be, Ned; what
help We may be to each other. We
shall be such friends as Hannah More
and Dr. Johnson, or Chateaubiand and
Nine. Reeamier. Paula and Jerome"
And so they talked and planned, while
the old people said: What an exam
pie of beautiful devotion that is; there
can't be any mistake there; they have
known each other from childhood"
Well, Ned went to work and Alice
went to work, Ned plugging away al
the law and she entering the schools
as a teacher, for neither was rich.
And their friendship did prove help
full to each other, for he was an ardent
student and she was a stern critic. Ant
they were confdants. They could be 81
frank with each other, because theil
