The extravagant theory of the young
people as to the necessity for keeping
up certain style is the reason why so
many of them put Off marriage year
after year, and finally drift into the
irremediable stage Of celibacy. Girls
without fortunes are supported in idle
ness and luxury by over-indulgent
parents and expect to be thus cared for
after marriage. The annual cost Of
such n girls maintenance is more than
the income of a young man, unless he
be exceptionally fortunate. The fault
lies with parents. Unless they are pre-
pared to give fortune with daughter
when she marrles, they have no moral
right to make her unfit for the position
of wife in the home of young man
who has his fortune to make. And this
is not "A trivial mistake, for it is a great

SLAUGHTERED ~ PRISON.
Nine Captive Negroes shot Down by

Palmetto, Ca, March 17.--four dead
negroes lie in Jolnson's warehouse. Be
side them, groanjng in agony, are five OF
their race. All are victims OF an assault
made by the white men of this neighbor-
hood at an early hour yesterday morning.
The negroes, who were shot down while
begging for mercy, lie where they fell, on
the blood soaked floor of the improvised
Jail, where they were held on the charge

Dead-Bud Cotton, Henry Bingham,

Dying-John Bigby.
Wounded-Clem Watt, abdomen; Geo.

Citizens are patrolling the main street
OF the town and dispensing an occasional
group OF muttering negroes, who seem de-
termined to get some form of revenge for
the slaughter of four of their race.
The mob was composed of $50 men.
Where they came from is a mystery, so
far as the people of the town know. That

the better class-were in the mob goes
without saying. Every face was masked,

To appreciate it, the first love story, Of

THE FIGHT WITH POVERTY.
Every New Yorker. even those who de-
clined to take up young Mrs. De La
Mar, knows that Nellie Sands. the daugh-
ter of James G. Sands, a New York, drug
gist comes from an excellent family.
Her mother, who plays throughout a
prominent part in the story of her
daughters fortunes was famous Vir-
ginia beauty, and the Sands family had
social standing. When Mr.. Sands died.
however, his wife and daughter were left
poor.
Mrs. Sands. still beautiful, though mid
as her daughter, was obliged to submit
for the time being, to poverty. Obscurity,
however, she fought against. She was
shrewd enough to know that her young
daughters beauty held the promise of
better things to come.
At this time Nellie was fresh from
boarding school and radiant with health
and girlish loneliness. During the winter
Mrs. Sands kept her daughter in semi
seclusion. The next summer she took her
TO watering places, where all the world
gasped In amazement at Nellie Sands
beauty.
One season the acute divination of Mrs.
Sands led her to choose Narragansett
as a promising spot to exhibit her daugh-
ter's charms. In the same direction
chance impelled the elderly Capt. De La
Mar, who was distinguished by a some

ceptibility to womanly charms, and a
fortune of S2OOOO,OOO They called him the

he had at last literally dug his wealth
from Western mines which now bear his
name.
The captain was born in Holland. His
title was acquired as the commander of a
trading vessel. These commonplace but
not discreditable facts, supplemented by
the millionaires curiously bristling per-
sonality, apparently overbalanced his mil
lions in the opinion of the Eastern social
world.
The women who led society did not
fling wide their doors at the approach Of
Capt. De La Mar. And so it happened
that he got as far as Narragansett with
out being corralled by any ambitious
mother.
Once there he saw Nellie Sands. He
saw her among hundreds of others, bath
ing in the surf. From that time on the
old miner saw no one else.
Every time that Nellie Sands pretty
little feet danced along the beach at
bathing time the captains eyes followed
her rapturously until she disappeared
again.
His infatuation was easily understood
Nellie Sands had all the exquisite grace
and suppleness of eighteen. Her smiling

Were Discouraged Over the Events
of the Day.
NEW YORK, June A.-The bear opera
tors among the professional traders be-
came somewhat discouraged over the
events of today's short session, and en-
gagged in something like a scramble to
cover outstanding short contracts in the
closing dealings. An unfavorable bank
statement had been counted on by this
element to a further decline. Today's
statement, while it cannot be called a
favorable one, is not as weak as has been
foretold, and when the bears started to
cover. shortly after its publication, they
found it had brought slight offerings to
sell. Prices were marked up quite sud-
denly, in some cases to the highest point
of the day, making the close quite buoy
ant in tone. The banks loss IN cash re-
serve was not as large by over 81 ,000, 900,
as had been estimated, and the further
liberal expansion of more than S5 600, 900
in loans, indicated the faith Of banking
authorities in the money outlook. Who
are the borrowers of this large amount
of money is as much mystery as was
the case last week. 1t certainly has not

met a woman friend who had long
known both the beautiful young wife
and her divorced husband. To her Mrs
De La Mar poured out the story of her
innocence and her undeserved misfor-
tune
The next mail took from this friend
to Capt. De La Mar letter assuring,
him that the woman who had been his
wife was misunderstood and suffering
and inconsolable for the loss of her
baby girl. The old captain replied
promptly and courteously, referring to
Mrs. De La Mar in the most gentle
and affectionate terms
Mrs. De La Mar went back to Paris
Her husband had not permitted her to
see her child since he abandoned her.
One day, walking alone in the Champs
Elysees, she met him leading his baby
daughter by the hand. The child
recognized her mother in a moment
and, with a shout of delight, ran and
threw her tiny arms about her.
The old captain was deeply affected
The pathetic little scene melted what
remained of his wrath. And he was not
yet proof against the beauty that had
once so thoroughly captivated him.
Next day the strange courtship began.
The captain sent the baby with her
nurse to call upon her mother. On the
next day he sent flowers. On the third
ne called. There were explanations,
apologies, reconciliations, and on the

says, pleadings for reunion

said. Her fierce husband will have

jealous old man all the time"

them loved her and showed it.
