DEATH IN THE KISSES.
Lady Miliias Contracted Cancer
From Her Husband.

From Her Husband.
The death of Lady Millias. wife or Sir
John Millias, the famous painter, report
ed in the Morning News dispatches. put an
end to a romantic career. The New York
Worlds special cable from London gives
interesting details in addition to this
already published. OF Lady Millais' death
the Worlds cable says:
Cancer, that was fatal to her distin-
guished husband but sixteen months ago.
was fatal to Lady Millais also. She was
the willing victim of her love, of her wife
ly devotion
the best in England, told Lady MiIlais
the cancer that was killing
him was surely contagious. For the safety
of her own health, of her life, they order
ed her not TO kiss him, lest she catch the
disease. They told her, too she must CON
stantly use disinfectants, spray her throat.
her clothing, so that she might escape the
contagion.
Milais knew he could not escape But
he had not the remotest idea that he could
communicate cancer to his wife; that her
devoted attention to him was dangerous
to her; that she risked her life by nursing
him. She, on her part, could not bear
to stab the dying man by seeming to be
cold, unfeeling or by appearing before him
reeking with disinfectants.
So she utterly disobeyed the surgeons,
and two months before Millais died cancer
developed itself in her and made very rap
id progress. For while Lady Millais per-
mitted the surgeons to try to arrest the
progress of the disease, for her son still
lived
But the young Millais died a few months
ago From the moment of his death his
mother cared no longer to live Longing
to retain her husband and her son, she
would not permit any operation to be per-
formed for her relief Now, she is gone.
So John Ruskin survives the beautiful
woman who was his wife and the man to
whom he willingly yielded her. Ruskin
still lives at Amberside, in the Lake Coun-
try but his mind, once of such extraor-
binary brilliancy, has been clouded for
two years.
In 1852 Ruskin married Miss Euphemia
Chalmers Gray of Perthshire Scotland
Ruskn was already rich and famous. Miss
Gray admired him, thought she loved him,
married him.
Wishing for the portrait of his lovely
young wife, Ruskin engaged his friend
Millais to paint it. Mllais was then only
% years old. and one of the handsomest
men in England. During the sittings for
the portrait, he and Rusl1in's wife fell
deeply inslove with each other. She be-
came ms nodel Iof MS famous picture,
1.-THE Order Of Release"
Ruskin was not blind. He condemned
himself for having hoped he could make
his wife happy. He gently told her he de-
sired to make. her happy at any cost to
himself; that he would always esteem her,
always be her friend. Without the slight
est scandal a divorce was granted to Mrs
Ruskin and, in 1885, she became the wife
of Millais.
Ruskin stood by in church when they
were married and continued to be the
friend of both. But it is asserted, the
mental agony he afterwards endured help
ed to precipitate the disease of mind from
which he suffers.

The improvements on the Main Line of
the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and be.
tween Martinsburg, w. Va, and North
Mountain, have been completed Novem-
Der LIST. They cover distance of nearly
four miles, starting three miles west of Mar
tinsburg, and extending some distance
west of Myers Hole, which is near the North
Mountain station. At Myers Hole the line
was changed, taking out some very OBJ
jectionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two
grades of AZ feet per mile which came to-
gether at Myers Hole and substituting there
for an almost level track. This point on the
road has always been dangerous one, and
many freight wrecks have occurred there.
Apart from doing away with the dangerous
feature of two sharp down grades coming
together, as was the case in this instance,
the saving in operation of the road by tho
change will be very large, as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased and
reduces the liability Of. accident TO the min
imuaitim. At Tablers the road-bed has been
lowered about - feet, and the same at
Tabbs, besides taking out objectionable curv.
ature and reducing the rate of grades at
these points from AZ feet per mile to 10 feet
per mile, thus increasing the cars that can
be hauled per train. Though these improve
.rnents have cost quite sum of money, the
expenditure is fully justified by the great
saving in operation. :.
