Murphy anywhere ir the British Empire
ms life would not be worth the snuff OF
a candle. Captain Murphy accepted the
conditions and sought to flee with Cat
acres wife as far away as possible. The
couple came to Southern California.
Colonel Gatacre, now general, because
on pride, never sought a divorce, and the
1acts, as they are here related, as such
things usually do, followed Captain MUIR
pry and the lady to Los Angeles. The
couple lived at one of the hotels here
for several months and tried hard to
Dreak into their country peoples set-here
and III surrounding sections. They were
snubbed, however right and left. and
then Captain Murphy purchased an
orange grove near Duarte. There the
couple lived in solitude and presumable
happiness until early last year. when the
woman died. She was affected with
some sort of pulmonary complaint. Her
remains We're mbalmed and sent to Eng
land. Captain Murphy followed a short
time later.
Word reached Los Angeles lately that
Captain Murphy has now married and
settled down on his Irish estate. He still
owns the Duarte orange orchard pur-
chased years ago.
General Gatacre,a AS soon as his wife and
lover hal left Ireland.was exchanged into
q regiment for colonial service and sent
to India. He vowed when he left Eng
land that never again would he serve
anywhere in the mother country.

Davis in politics. After we talked with
Mr.. Bliss we went over to see the presi-
dent. Mr.. Mckinley declared that Davis
was destined to be a great man in the ma

He was sent on his stumpng tour Of

AS to my methods of work, there is
little that I can say. They tell me that
my voice has improved, and has increas-

but another instance in which fate has
been kind. I have taken no lessons in
either singing or elocution since I left
New York, and do not believe in what
is called the conservatoire system.
My experience with it has been that
in drilling by set rule certain results may

tried to impress upon my work indi-
