Disinterested Love.
CToronto Mail AMI Empire.

-Four hundred men have proposed mar
riage to Mrs. Ethel Costello, u pretty
young widow of Kalamazoo, Mich, since
she became heiress TO a fortune of $780,
coo ten days ago, and proposals are still
coming in by every mail
Among the aspirants for the widow s
hand is Ernest G.. Robb, prominent fur
merchant of Winnipeg. I;obb's letter
which is apparently written in good faith,
explains that after hearing of Mrs. Cos
tellos good fortune he felt Immediately
drawn toward" her and has never ceased
thinking of her. He says he cannot re
frain from penning u few lines, telling
her of my admiration and love" The let
ter then continues: First of all, / wish
to impress upon you the fact that l am
not fortune hunter, but man who is
seeking the cOmpanionship of dear wom-
an like yourself. have money, as | am
fur dealer, and in the past few years
have made my fortune. If you viii only
take my word you will see how honestly
sincere | am to make the matter plain. 1
wish to marry you, and if you have faith
in my words, send me $50 as a guaran-
tee, and | will Immediately come to you.
/ am no fake gentleman, but sure one. ''
Mrs. Costello says she has no intention
of marrying again, her first venture hav-
ing proved unhappy.

The Strained Relations Between Finland and
Russia.

Twice within the last few months"
says Henry Norman, in Scribner's, Il
have seen a capital where every woman
was in black. One was London, where
the people were mourning their dead
Queen; the other was Helsingfors, where
people mourned their lost liberty. Every
woman in HelsingfoTs bore the black sym
bOls of personal woe. But personal pro-
test went much farther than this. When
Gen. Bobrikoff, the Russian Governor
General, who was sent to carry out the
new regime, took his walks abroad, every
Finn who saw him coming crossed to the
other side of the street. When he patron
lied concert for some charitable pur-
pose the Films bought all the tickets, but
not single one of them attended.
The hotels refused apartments to one
of the Finnish Senators who supported the
Russian proposals. BY the indIscretiOn
of Il porter he secured rooms at one of
the principal hotels and refused to leave.
Therefore the hotel WAS boycOttcd and it
is temporarily ruined.
The Russian authorities, intending to
make the Russian language compulsory
i'll all Government departments, invited
several young Finnish functionarieS to
st. Petersburg to learn Russian under
very advantageous conditions and with
every prospect of official promotion. When
the language ordinance was published
and these Films saw why they were de-
sired TO learn Russian, they Immediately
resigned.
'rhe Russians took charge of the postal
system of Finland and abolished the Fin
nish stamps. ThercupOn the Firms issued
mourning stamp, all black except the
red arms of Finland and the name of the
country i'll Finnish and Swedish and stuck
it beside the Russian stamps on their let
terS The Russians retorted by strictly
forbidding its sale and destroying all let
ters which bore it. Now it is one of the
curiositics Of phiately. So the wretched
struggle goes on, and the young Finn
turns his eyes and often his steps toward
the United StateS aud Canada"

A Shower of Lizards.

Bushels of small green and black lizards
caused the train which conveys freight
from the Stonington Line steamers to BoS-
ton to come to u deaf standstill Just this
side of Bolton, Conn, during the heavy
thunder shower shortly after midnight on
Thursday night The train was long and
as it puffed slowly up the grade through
Il marshy piece of land after passing the
Bolton station on the New England divi-
sion of the consolidated railroad, the
wheels of the locomotive began to slip and
finally, when no further progress could be
made the brakes were applied to prevent
losing ground.
At first the engineer and fireman
thought the downfall of rain was causing
the difficulty and the sand box was opened
wide but to no avail. Then the crew Of
the engine jumped off and looked about
the wheels with a lantern. They found
the rails covered with a slippery matter,
while along the track for three hundred
yards ahead were myriads of lizards. They
lined both rails and as the locomotive
came along were crushed. The train hands
went to work with shovels and after u
half hours work cleared the track of the
lizards.
The men told the story on their arrival
here and said they thought the reptiles
came down with the rain.

Death of Gen. VIM. E. Jones.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In "Bugle

VIM Il. Jones was an eccentric officer
who had served under "Stonewall' Jack

rushed up a hill through piece of timber,
and there discovered in our front rail
breastworks. Our artillery opened up on
the breastworks, and the rails seemed to
fill the air. and we could see the JOhnnies

out to rally his troops. Mr.. MOsgroye

SURRENDER OF ATLANTA.

lanta campaign.
SURRENDER OF ATLANTA.
1t was while confronting the enemy at
LOvejoy that we received the glad news,
ATLANTA is ours; the campaign is ended" !"
The wild cheering that rolled along the
lines as the glad news was impaired to
US made us feel amply repaid for all the
hardshiaS incident to a long and trying
campaign.
We remained in camp near Lovejoy un-
til the night of Sept. D, when we started
toward Atlanta. The next morning we
were at Jonesboro, and on Thursday,
Sept. s. went into camp on the Rough
and-Ready road, three miles south of At
lanta. Here we remained until Oct. 4,
taking a much needed rest.
During the Atlanta campaign we were
in line of battle nearly all the time, en-
gagged in fighting or fortifying. For days
and nights we never removed our shoes,
as we lay in our works, not knowing what
moment would call us to resist an attack.
Night after night the picket line would
become warmly engaged, and yolleys or
muskctry would be exchanged. Night af-
ter night the pickets watched while 9TH
ers slept, but in case our pickets were
driven in those sleeping comrades were
awakened by earnest but friendly kicks
which never failed to arouse their bump
of c0mhativeneSs and put them III hight
ing mood.
Sept II our regiment held dress parade,
this being the first time since the previous
May.
Sept 2S Col. Scott and Capt Urquhart
joined us, having been exchanged under
the cartel of Gems. Sherman and Hood.
Our regiment fell into line as they drew
nigh, and then there took place season
of glad greetings.
As the October days drew near rumors
began to reach us of an early move. Hood,
with his army, was reported to be on the
north side of the Chattahoochec River,
striking out boldly for Tennessee. The
railroads and our communications with
our Northern homes had been destroyed,
which for Il time made matters look per-
picking TO us.
1t seemed as though we would be com
PEELED to give up all we had gained during
the Summer. We knew not however. OF
other plans that were taking form Ill the
brain of our beloved leader, which cleo
tritied ;he Nation. and made the holding
of Atlanta of minor Importance.

were seized at each end by willing hands,

We remained near Fairburn untill the
