ROMANCE ENDS IN KANSAS.
Death of an English Gentleman Last
CHAPTER of a story

Shdptti VI IL StoiS
Wichita, Kan, Sept. lS.-Henry Dixon,
son of a noble English family, died In the
poorhOuse here the other day. Many years
ago Dixon was married TO Fannie Hill,
daughter of Lady Georgiana Hill, who had
created great scandal in her day by leaving
her husband and thirteen children and elop-
ing wRh an Irish member of Parliament
named McGann.
Lady Hilrs father andMrs. Dixon's grand
father was the Earl of Alien arIe, who dis
tinguished himself at Waterloo. 1t is said
that the earl followed McGann all through
Ireland To kill him, on account of the elope-
ment, but could not find him.
Fannie Hill fell in love with Sir
Charles Harvey, an Irishman, and sent
mesa gcs TO him by II. Morby Richa rdson,
later well kno wn in connection with South
african politics. Being refused permis-
sion by her parents to be married to Sir
Charles. Miss Hill followed him to Australia,
whittier he had gone. On the steamer she
met Dixon, who became infatuated with
her and proposed marria ge, but was refused.
Arrived in Australia, she quarreled with
Harvey, and went to Dixon, who was then
in America, and to whom she was married.
The pixons lived in poverty in Wichita
number of years, and about 1888 the
W. man left her husband and went East.
She was enriched by some legacy, but her
husband went to the poorhouse. Notified
of Dixon's death, she telegr; he'd to have
him buried at her expense, under the aus
pices of st. Johns Episcopal Church.
This is all that is known of Henry Dix
on's history, and OF those connected with
him, and is on the authority of Robert viii
lams, broker OF this place, who was once
station agent at Longford, Ireland, and
helped Fannie Hill out of the country.

DEAF MUTES MARRIED.
Happy Ending of Silent But Ar
dent CUurtShip,

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S--Speech was not
necessary for Joseph Mayer TO convey his
love to Matiidc Herotfelder, nor for her to
return the affection, but by silent intclIi-
gencc their troth was plighted, and yester-
day he led her, happy bride. to the altar
Of st. Bonaventure's Roman Catholic Church.
Both are deaf mutes, and their marriage is
the result of picturesque but ardent court
ship.
Though Handicapped in one sense by his
inability to talk, young Mayer has found
1t TO be great advantage to him in another
way. He is barber by trade, and the
profound silence he maintains while attend
ing to his customers has brought much
patronage to the little shop where he holds
forth So prosperous have his business af
fairs become on this account that he is en-
abled to kc-s wife while still very young
man.
The wedding took place at $50 O'Clock
in the morning. Although the hour was
so early, many curious people gathered
in the church to witness the strange cere-
niony. 1t was disappointment to the
bride and groom that the priests of their
own parish were unable TO officiate, but
this could not be, for the clcrgymen of st.
Bo nav enture's are unfa m iIiar with the
sign language.
Rev. Patrick wheian of st. Gabriels,
whose experience of several years as in
structor in deaf mute institution in Dub
lin, well qualified him for the task, was
welcome and efficient substitute, With

than an ordinary wedding.

many friends stepped up to congratulate
the couple, there was great gesticulating.
The majority of those who attended were
deaf mutes, who always have a warm re-
