lnyents Deaths For a Living.

From London Answers.
 Perhaps there is no more extraordinary occupation in the world than that of a certain weary-looking little man whom I interviewed at his office in Fleet street, couple of weeks ago. He is an in- ventor of deaths. His customers are chiefly novelsts and playwrights; and that his business must be somewhat thriving one is to be easily gathered from the general sumptuousness of his sur roundings.
 "I recently made f10O by single out of -the-way death," he informed me in funeral sort of voice. "It was the final curtain of drama which will shortly be put on at the Adelphi.

MAKE SOMEBODY GLAD.

On life's rugged road,
AS we journey each day,
Far, far more of sunshine
Would brighten the way
If, forgetful of self
And our troubles, we had
The will, and would try
To make other hearts glad.
Though Of the worlds wealth
We have little in store,
And labor to keep
Grim want from the door,
With hand that is kind.
And heart that is true.
To make others glad
There is much we may do.
And word kindly spoken,
\ smile or tear,
Though seeming but triiles,
Full often make cheer.
Each day of our lives
Some treasures would add
To be conscious that we
Had made somebody glad.
Those who sit in the darkness
OF sorrow, SO drear,
Have need Of a word
OF solace and cheer.
There are homes that are dcSolate,
Hearts that are sad
Do something for some one,
Make somebody glad.

Hon. George Wesley Atkinson, Gov
ernor of West Virginia, and Mrs. Myra
Camden, widow of Judge Gideon D.
Camden, were married in the presence
of a few friends last Thursday night
at Clarksburg. Some sensational events
were connected with the marriage.
Mrs. Camden was indicted recently on
charges made in the name of the pros
ecuting attorney OF Gilmer county.
She is accused of forgery and conspir-
acv to defraud in the settlement Of
her husbands estate. The indictment
grew ont of the fact that Mrs, Camden
sold certain real estate belonging to
Judge Camden to Joshua p Owens for
81 800, giving receipts for the money
in the Judges name. The death OF
Judge Camden was very sudden, and
it is alleged that the receipts were not
delivered until after his funeral. The
heirs sued Mrs. Owens to recover the
property, and were met with these re-
ceipts. The indictment followed.
When the arrest of Mrs Camden on a
capias was made Gov. Atkinson was
at Morgantown taking part in the
commencement exercises of the West
Virginia University. He hurried to
Clarksburg, obtained the details, left
his daughters with their future step
mother, and went to the capital to see
that the best lawyers in the State were
engaged for the defence.
Gov. Atkinson is widower, So years
old, whose family consists of two sons
and two daughters. The prospective
bride is a handsome, petite brunette
whose maiden name was Myra d.
Horner. Mrs. Camden's marriage to
Gov. Atkinson will be her third mat
rimonial venture, her first husband
having been DR.. Davis, whose two sons
are now conspicuous and wealthy busl-
ness men. Several years after Dr..
Davis's death his widow married Judge
Gideon D. Camden, one of the largest
landowners in the State. By Judge
Camden's death, which occurred at
Hot Springs, Ark, his widow came
into large fortune. She maintains a
fine establishment in Clarksburg, where
she passes her summers, making her
winter home in Washington. She is
the sister of Mrs. Mary Gof, leader
in Washington society, who is the
widow of Nathan Gof, after whom
United States Judge Nathan Gof was
named.
Gov. Atkinson was asked to give an
explanation of Mrs. Camden's indict-
ment by the Gilmer county grand jury
He s,id that it was merely an effort
on the part Of other heirs Of Judge
Gideon D. Camden to secure property
which they claimed and which, the
Governor and Mrs. Camden say. be-
longs to Mrs. Camden. The Governor
said he believed there was an effort
also to humilate him, but he declared
Mrs. Camden would not have any
trouble in clearing herself. and they
were to be married anyhow. 1t is un-
derstood that the case will be fought
to the bitter end, both sides having re-
tained the finest lawyers in the State.
The Camden heirs deny that there is
any desire to annoy Governor Atkin-
son. They say they are pushing the
case simply to assert their rights.

Sashes Are the Thing.

She is an unhappy woman who can
not rig up some sort of sash onto
her choicest summer gown. The
lighter in weight it is, provided it has
body enough to hang and not to float
the better it harmonizes with the
mode.
Fashionable women here in New
York are greatly taken with sashes of
black liberty silk having delicate black
lace ends and insertion. These stream
ers usually are fastened to the belt
line on the left front side of the dress.
There are two short loops and two
ends which hang nearly to the bottom
of the skirt. They swing gracefully
when one walks. As you sit they are
too long and require careful manage
ment.
This new mode in dress decoration
is n boon to the fidgety woman who is
not able to think she appears at ease
unless she is twirling something her
handkerchief, her lorgnette, her chate-
laine, or her ribbons. OF course, the
mondaine has no such trivial need of
sash. Has she not been taught from
the cradle that she must not remem-
ber her costume or any detail of it?
The fan and parasol are the only per-
missible weapons of defense of the
woman who prides herself on her self
control. Orleans Picayune.

After the death of Prince Albert the
Queen went to the Highlands, and one
of her first visits was to widowed
peasant woman. The two cried to-
gether, and when the old woman
begged pardon for not controlling her
feelings, the Queen said she was
thankful to cry with somebody who
knew exactly how she felt.
The Queens coronation ring is never
out of her sight, and is worn by her
every evening 1t is band of gold
containing cross in rubies, sur
mounted by white brilliants. A coro-
nation ring is supposed to symbolic
the wedding of the sovereign with the
nation.
1t is reported that at the time Of
Victoria's marriage it was suggested
the word "obey" might be left out of
her response. The Queen instantly
checked this piece of snobbery, and
declared that she would be married
like any other woman"
Her Majesty and Prince Albert were
on a tripin the north of England and a
gentleman in hearty fashion expressed
the pleasure he felt at seeing the con-
sort and "his wife," The Prince was
greatly delighted with the homely ref
erence and expressed pleasure that his
beloved partner should be spoken of
by an appellation which was the high
est honor that could be bestowed upon
any woman.
The Queen is to be put on canvas
in company with the three generations
of heirs to the throne that are now on

York and little Prince Edward. The

command is William Quiller Orchard.

A New Rose Sacliet.

A novel and pretty method for pre-
serving rose petals is the rose sachet.
Not the old-fashioned sort, with cot
ton batting and perfumed powder, but
a dainty bag of sheer muslin or silk,
into which the petals are dropped and
allowed to dry, without the addition
of salt, spices and the numerous other
ingredients that used to make the rose
jar troublesome expense.
One pretty rose sachet seen the
other day was of the finest tlowered
chiffon, with drawing strings and
bows Of delicate green taffeta ribbons.
The filling was of rose leaves--pink,
yellow and deep red-and had come
all the way across the continent from
Tacoma. Another rose bag was of
white chiffon, embroidered in colored
butterflies, with triple, accordion
plated frills TO set OIL the sides and
bottoms. The roses were Of all colors
