BURIED BY TWO HUSBANDS.
Romantic Case in England Recalls
Remarkable Instance of the
Inst Century.

Apropos of the remarkable instance
of coniugal devotion, which, according
to the London Globe, has recently been
displayed by Mr.. Cannon, Of Cincin.
natl, in bringing his wife's body from
America to her native place in this
country for interment, it is interest
ing to recall somewhat similar, but
even more romantic story, which is
recorded of Lord Dalmeny, eldest son
of James, second earl of Rosebery.
This young nobleman, who died in 1855,
met in London some years previous
to his death lady, with whom he fell
violently in love, and whom he per
suaded to marry him and accompany
him on a continental tour. The mar
riage, though concealed from the rel
atives on both sides, proved to be an
extremely happy one, the pair living
together in the greatest harmony un-
til the lady was oyertaken by mortal
illness. When assured that she was
dying, she asked for a pencil and pa
per, and she then wrote the following
message: Il am the wife of the Rev.
Mr.. Cough, rector of Thorpe, in Els.
sex. My maiden name was c. Cannon,
and my last request is to be buried
at Thorpe" In what circumstances
she had deserted her husband does
not appear, but Lord Dalmeny pro-
tested that he knew nothing of her
former marriage, and Immediately set
about fulfilling her last wishes. He
had the body embalmed and enclosed
in a chest, and then, under the as
sumed name of Williams, he brought
ii to England, landing at Colchester.
Here the chest was suspected by the
custom house officers of containing
smuggled goods, and was opened by
them to the great distress of the be-
reaved husband, who grew almost dis
tracted under the darker suspicious
which arose when it's real contents
were revealed.
However, after infinite difficulty he
succeeded in conveying the body to
Thorpe, and when it had been placed
in the church on an open bier, took
his seat beside it, evidently absorbed
in grief, the scene having reminded
a bystander of "Romeo and Juliet"
At length he gave full explanation Of
the circumstances of his marriage, and
Mr.. Cough was sent for to come and
identify his wife, which the latter gem
tleman did without a moments hesi-
tation. The meeting between the
sorrowstricken young man and the in
dignant husband was described as a
most moving one, but neither seemed
inclined to waive his right to the other,
though of the two, Lord Dalmeny was
the most anxious to do honor to the
deceased. He had a splendid coffin
made for her, and followed her body
to Thorpe, where he was met by Mr..
Cough, and in theirpresence the burial
was performed with air due solemnity,
thus probably furnishing the only in
stance on record Of a woman being at
tended to her grave by two husbands
at the same time. Immediately after
the ceremony Lord Dalmeny left for
London, apparently inconsolable at
his loss. In the peerages he is de-
scribed as unmarried

The writer has recently been pre-
sented with book, entitled, "The

has given some pictures of life worth

religious fraud, and help him to re-
member that the devil still goes

also of the good old minister will
inspire one with the truth that in
certain trials, age and experience,
are worth our best devotion to the
man who has them and is able to
use them to guide us safely on to
safety in religious thought and ex.
perience. In reading this book l
would advise that it be read with
care, and would say concerning it

The temperance meetings held in
our church, Monday and Tuesday
evenings, were we'll attended and of
deep interest. The wide experience
of Mrs. Bully gave intense interest
to her lectures. Her account of the
work in New Mexico and of the peo-
pie of that half civilized territory,
was we'll wol tn hearing Her solu-
tiOn of the liquor question is that of
all genuine temperance workers. 1t
is nothing less than the total pro-
hibition of the traffic. The difficul.
ty comes in when we talk of meth
DDS. The how of the question has
not yet been settled. If the move
ment could be made non partisan
believe it would be best, but no one
who looks the question squnrely in
the face can doubt for a moment,
that the saloon figures largely in
the politics of the day, and it is
therefore my honest conviction, that
the fight against the saloon will re-
main political one, till some party
comes in power with prohibition, as
an an issue, and then the question
will be settled.

1t is almost beyond comprehension
to estimate the value a trolley road
would be TO this village. Thousands
Of people would patronize it. There
are many here to whom Bushkll, to
say nothing of Stroudsburg, is an
unknown country Hundreds who
have heard Of the Water Gap long
to see it, but have been deferred by
the expense and trouble. A road
would open up the way and many
from Port Jervis and Matamoras
would enjoy frequent picnics and
excursions down the river New
life would be breathed in this sec
tion and all would be prospered.
Won't some one please see these
prospects and build the road soon?

men to expend part of their antici-
pated surplus in the purchase of
umbrellas to hold over the borough
building during rainy spells so as to
prevent the hose and other para
phenalia from being soaked. Pos
Eibly some PIT Jervis merchant with
an eye to business might contribute
a large one with his "ad" conspic.
nously painted on it which the chief
could hold over the tower and a
fireman having "brella" similarly
adorned with a P. J. ''ad, could be
seated on each of the ornamental
turrets and so make them useful as
well. The aforesaid enterprising
chaps might be willing to pay a
small recompensefor being thus con-
spicuously advertised here and that
would add revenue. However, that
borough building is a famous piece
of architecture and neither its OK

allowed to become marred by the

why Chinese Boys Wear Earrings,
The custom of boys wearing ear
rings in China is thus popularity ex-
planned by the Chinese; The boy is
the greatest blessing that Heaven can
send. The spirits like boy babies. 1t
is natural that they should everybody
likes them. Very often, if the boy ba-
bies are not watched closely, the spir-
its who are constantly around, grab up
the unmatched boy babe and carry him
off to their home. Girl babies are not
such blessings and the spirits care
nothing for them. The earring is a
feminine ornament, and the spirits
know that; so the Chinese mothers
have the ears of their boy babies
pierced and put in huge earrings.
When the spirits are around looking
for boys they will see the earrings and
be fooled into thinking the boys are
girls and will pass on and not trouble
them.-Albany Argus.
