SHE SANG FOR DEATH.
The Pathos and Tragedy of Emma
AbbOtt's Passing Away.

The Pnthos and Tragedy of Emma
Abbott's Passing Away.
One night in the city of Denver,
located at the foot and in plain view of
the Rocky mountains, Emma Abbott
was billed to appear in Faust In the
same city most attractive and beauti-
full 1S-year- girl, belonging to one of
the wealthiest families. lay in the last
stages of that fell enemy Of the human
face-consumption. Some weeks before
the arrival Of the company she said to
those around her: "Oh, I hope the sun
will shine and the weather will be warm
and genial, so I can hear Miss Abbott
sing once more. I think could then
pass away peacefully and without one
single regret" But there came with the
queen Of the lyric stage northern hur-
ricane-with the very air charged with
icicles, which penetrated the lungs.
Some one told Miss Abbott of the griev
GUS disappointment of the dying girl
She went to the opera house and never
sang more sweet1y, and as soon as it
was over and the audience dismissed
called her carriage and directed it to
drive to the home of the young lady.
The scene which followed was worthy
Of the finest brush ever welded by the
grand old masters There lay the dying
earth angel. with pallid lips, hectic
cheeks and lustrous eyes and the light
of immortal beauty shining upon her
face Standing beside her, in one of her
richest robes (the one she had worn that
nightl. sparkling with pearls, rubies
and diamonds, stood the almost divine
mistress of earthly melody.
The first piece rendered was ''The
Old Folks at Home and then followed
II Know My Redeemer Liveth. The
finale of this weird scene was Crock of
Ages Cleft For Me. Let Me Hide Myself
In Thee. And then Miss Abbott bent
over the frail form and kissed her an
eternal farewell. Soon after the spirit
passed into the wild winds which rang
through the wild mountains near by

An old sea captain afirms that he
had an exciting experience twenty
two years ago on one of the smaller
islands in the Philippine group.
During voyage from San Francisco
to Hong Kong, reports correspon-
dent Of the st. Louis Globe Demo
crut, his crew mutinied. They gave
him some food and water. gun and
flask of powder, and putting him
into small boat, set him adrift.
After irtyeight hours on the
ocean, the captain reached au island
and was promptly seized by savages.
who conducted him inland. Except
that he was forbidden to go to the
waterside, he had the freedom of the
island and was we'll treated But af-
ter he had been eight months with
the natives he learned, naturally to
his dismay, that they planned to do
him the honor of sacrificing him to
their god at their next great festival.
Protestations were useless. He
had Just one chance for his life, and
at night he made several secret visits
to the CHASTITY spot on the mountain
side where sacrifices were made. As
his turn drew near, he tried to tell
his captors that he had communed
with inferior spirits, and discovered
that their gods forbade his death.
But although the savages listened re-
specttuIly, preparations for the cere-
mony never stopped,
On the morning of the fatal day he
was aroused at an early hour by two
attendants of the medicine man, and
buried toward the sacred mountain.
The sun was well up when the ascent
began, and the captain dragged along
as slowly as possible, often gIancing
at the sun, which was beating on the
monntainside.
AS he came in sight of the altar he
craned his neck, and observed the
sunlight stealing toward the stone.
Turning. he warned the. priests that
divine wraty would be hurled on them
and their altar if they attempted to
proceed, but their only answer was to-
push steadily on. Below him, gazing
upward were the villagers, some
watching the proceedings with anxiety,

of the cases before him for trial. he
had recognized Willie; how he had
taken the boy home and done every
thing for him. And now he was started
on the right way and wished to live

Then young Willie, who was home
from college, said bad word,
slammed the door and went to the

Her husband was old and feeble and
went to bed TO escape her fretting.
But young Willie went from bad to
worse. He had spent too much
money, had played cards and lost,
then had drank and gone utterly

the first time he had utterly broken

it was an unlucky time. 1t was the

his sisters and the maids were armed

PnnisIlinC an EhiInr.

Curious methods of Furnishing in
discreet editors are in vogue in some
countries. In "South American
Sketches Mr.. Crawford describes
the interesting experience of an editor
who had been unfortunate enough to
give offence to the ruling powers by
the freedom Of his criticisms.
The editor was arrested and cou-
fined in a narrow passage between the
cages of two iaguars, notorious for
their bad tempers and their intense
dislike for human society.
The intervening space was so regu
lated that neither of the ferocious
animals could get its paws quite to
the middle line between the cages; 50
that a spare, active person, il very
careful to follow the classical advice
about the advantages of steering a
middle course might manage to pass
without special injury, though the
achievement would be both exciting
and dangerous.
Our editorial friend happened to be
stout, and therefore was the more
easily reached by the occupants of
cages. As if to add insult to injury.
he was given chair on which to sit.
and at the same time was furnished
with a copy of bis own paper, the
issue which hal brought him into
trouble, in order that he might medi-
tate upon its contents.
He tried to sit motionless and bolt
upright. feeling those sleepy. cruel
eyes fixed upon him. At the slightest
movement, or the rustic of the paper,
uneasy mutterings arose from the
cages, aud paw would stretch
stealthily toward him. Leaning
quickly to the other side, he was sure
to be met by the ugly claws of the
second iaguar TWAS case of Scylla
and Charydbis.
Every few minutes the iaguars be
came wildly excited and clawed
tiercely at the shrinking editor, who.
do HIS best. could not escape those
rending toe nails. His clothing was
torn to shfeds, but except for a few
scratches he was not really injured.
