MISS PRICES ROMANCE.
She Travels $4,000 Miles to Get Mar
ried and Returns Single.

New York, March 3O.-Miss Edith
Price, rosy, pretty and smiling, her
mother and her married sister, Mrs. Ely,
held reception in their house in Yon-
l1ers to celebrate the death of a rom
ance, and all their friends were drop
ping in to offer congratulations.
Now" said Miss Price, with the
shadow of a blush, I'm not married
and I'm glad of it. South Africa is a
pretty lonesome place and I'm delight
ed to be back in Yonkers among my
water and two more on the land. I've
travelled $4,000 miles and now I'm home
for good
The Price family is one of the best
known in Yonkers. In 1892 Miss Price
spent the summer abroad. On the
steamer returning home after Vaca-
ton in America was John Corrigan, an
Oxford student, son of official of the
bank of Ireland. They met and when
the ship cast anchor at Southampton
were plighted lovers.
Wen get married. said the young
man, Just as soon as 1 get my degree
as a physician"
And the young girl gladly assented,
though it meant a two years wait for
her.
When the Prices learned that the
young man was a son of one of the best
families in Dublin they gave their con-
sent, and the course of true love started
to run smooth. The COrrigans enter
tanned Mrs. Price and their sons fiancee
at their splendid home at South Circu-
lar Road, Dublin
Summer over, Miss Price came home.
Letters passed over the sea in every
ship, and both young people were look
ing forward to the day when gradua
ton would bring them happiness. Then
no letters came from the lover. Miss
Price wrote and wrote, but still no re-
ply. Her pride got the better of her
love; she wrote no more, but plunged
deeply into social gayety to forget the
dead romance.
Still another Young man who lives in
this city became Smitten, then was ac-
cepted. Last September was set for the
wedding. Just before that, Miss Price
heard of John Corrigan's graduation
from Oxford and of his large practice
as a physician in ROndebosh, South At
RIGA. The old flame spraHg into life
again Explanations followed, each
thought the other tired of loves letters
and accidents in the mails had done the
rest. Well, they became engaged again.
Il cannot come to American to be
married. wrote the young man. My
practice won't allow it. Meet me at
Southampton with your mother and
we will be married there. and you can
come back with me to Rondebosh.''
January 5th, Miss Price and her moth
er sailed on the st. Louis. At her dock
they found a cable dispatch from Cor
rigan, saying he could not leave South
Africa and asking mother and daughter
to meet him at Cape Town. Again the
two took the ship What happened
when they arrived at Cape Town is part
of the story not yet told. Saturday Mrs.
Price and her daughter returned on the
New York, still Miss Price. They were
full of the dreariness of South Africa
and homecoming. But Yonkers heard
and wondered. Sunday it called to
learn why.
ITS nothing" said Miss Price to
everyone. DIR. COrrigan is not we'll
enough to marry; that's all"

PRAISE FOR MARLOWE.
Comment by the Rev. Thomas Dixon
on Her Plays and Acting.

New York March 3O.-The sermon of
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr, on Sunday at
the Academy of Music, at which he
took for his subject Bonnie Prince
Charlie, or Pulpit and Stage is attrac-
ting much comment.
THE stage" said Mr.. Dixon, sis one
of the great forces that is at the same
time the expression of a peoples life
and the plastic power that moves life.
In America the stage grows in i'm
portance and influence for good or evil
with every step of our national pro-
gresS 1t sWayS daily the hearts of a
million people who represent the brain,
the heart and the creative energy of our
race
The importations from abroad have
begun to improve under the stimulus of
this higher standard. The latest impOr-
tation of the drama from the Old World,
as presented by Julia MarlOWe and Rob
ert Taber in For Bonnie Prince Charlie
presents q most striking and imposing
contrast to the tons of UnSpeaka Bile rub
bish that have been dumped on our
shores within the last 10 years. We
can forgive France much for this play
The play is a tragic poem of wonder
full beauty. It thrObs with patriotism.
THE acting of Mr.. Taber should be
an inspiration to every young man on
the stage today. Julia Marlowes work
in the character of Mary is beyond
praise. do not believe that the Amer
lean stage has seen a Sublimer artistic
triumph than her presentation of this
character.
LAS a minister of truth I offer to her
my sincerest congratulations on this
glorious success. With calm persis-
tence in the midst of tin and tinsel clap
trap this brilliant young woman has
pursued her lofty ideal 1t was worth
waiting for. The nation will recognize
it's worth 1t is such acting in such
plays that sweetens the bitterest lives,
breathes life into dead souls and fills
the world with hope, beauty, life and

claims of the makers of the new dis
coVery for cure of all forms of piles,
known under the name Of Pyramid

are such as to warrant the investiga-

itself:

I was so bad with the piles that I lost

any good. read in Cincinnati of the
many cures of piles by the Pyramid
Pile Cure and I went to a drug store
and asked for it. The drug clerk told
me that he had something else that he
thought was better, but I told him that
I wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
I tried another and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, making
four in all. I am now completely
cured. Have not tract Of piles and
I had suffered for four years with the
worst form Of protruding piles.
I suffered death from piles, but I
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. have recon-
mended it to several of my friends and
l am thankful to be able to write you
what good the remedy has done for me-
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no OPT
UNI, cocaine, or mineral poison of any
kind, and because it is so safe and
pleasant to use, being painless and APP
piled at night. The patient is cured in
a surprisingly short time with no in
convenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is we'll
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa-
ton is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition. Price Of pills is 25
cents per package.

1t is unfortunate for mankind that

The pleasant flavor of the milder

Counterfeiters arose who found it i'm
possible to produce a cereal coffee with

universally resorted to mixture of

True, thousands of people put IL to

Mary Hartwell Catherwood, the
graceful essayist, declares that as soon
as a woman becomes a mother she has
the incipient fierce mother-in-law in
her. Does Mrs. Catherwood compliment
or reprove her sex by this judgment? !?
Assuming il to be true, and that the
mother becomes the fierce champion
of her offspring, and is unable TO under
stand why other folks sons are never
quite the equals of her daughters; or,
that other peoples daughters, as this
critic puts it, are such trivial, hem
Drained creatures, is not this tribute
to a really noble instinct? 1t is a God
given selfshness, for it is natures own
prompting that subordinates just judg-
ment to jealous affection, and resents
the attempt to usurp her place in
guardianship. But is it true that the
incipiency of "the fierce mother-in-law"
is found in every mother? We think
not. On the contrary, there are as
many wise Judging and just mothers as
there are fierce" mothers-in-law m
deed, more of them. The major por
ton of mothers are neither forgetful
of their girlhood, nor of the natural des-
tiny of their sons and daughters to be-
come in their turn mates for chosen
ones. They naturally seek the highest
good of their children, and are jealous
of alliances that in their judgment
promise i'll. But this is not fierce
ness" not a thing blame worthy or to
be made the butt of careless and heart
less sport. The fact is, the motherin-
law as a class is sadly maligned. The
rule is that she is better far than the
mass of sons-in-law who lay blame for
their own unfitness for domesticity
upon the mother of the wife they have
chosen. The exceptions prove the rule.

What folly Andree's balloon trip to-

that the pole is in the midst Of a sea of

Can anyone give a reasonable answer to
this last question? General Greeley has
stated it to be his opinion that Andree
will not be heard from alive. If the air
currents which carried him and his two
companions out of sight northward so
rapidly, held on for forty eight hours
he swept over the Arctic Ocean in the
region of the pole, and long ago he
landed either in the ocean or upon such
an inhospitable shore that life could not
be sustained there. There is only this
hope alive, that if he did safely land
and upon Siberian or Alaskan shores it
