Shared one House. but did not Speak.

SpklNa VALLEY, N. Y, Jan f.
Death has ended the long life part
nership of Henry Eska and his wife,
Mary, but it has not added lot 70
the silence between them.
For thirty years, living in the same
house, they spoke no word to each
ether. When Mrs. Eska, who was 79
years old. drew near to death, che did
not ask to see her husband and he did
not go to see her. To the surprise Of
che townpeople, however, he did at
tend the funeral yesterday.
Mystery surrounds the origin OF the
quarrel thst divided the little home
in Manuel, where Eska, bis wife and
their four children lived. Gossips say
g mother.in-law was the frebrand, but
it is thirty years gone now, aud none
really know but Eska.
The Eskas had married after ro-
mantle courtship, and were happy
and loving couple. When the vii
lage first heard that they had each
sworn never to speak word to the
, other, they said it would not last.
But it did. Dividing their little
frame house on the outskirts of the
village, each lived in his or her part
and never encroached on the others
Mrs. Eska cut her own firewood, car
ried water and tended her half of the
garden. Eska sewed on his own but
tons, darned his socks and baked hi!
pancakes. He could stay out with
impunity every night in the year
There was no neighborly borrowing
between the two households in one.
When tho house burned year az,
each received one.half of the insur
ance money. Each went to live wit
one Of the children, but their silenc
still was unbroken.

Still Stealing.

Franklin j. Moses, ex-governor Of
South Carolina, was before Judge
Brown in the second session Of the
municipal criminal court yesterday,
says Boston dispatch Of January 10,
charged with giving check for $50 in
payment for overooat, said check
having been drawn on South Caro-
lima bank, in which it was learned tho
ex-governor had no funds. Then
again It Was further learned that after
Moses got the coat he pawned IL.
His honor, the ex-governor, met both
these claims.
Concerning the money transaction,
he said that at the time he gave the
check he honestly believed that there
was money in the bank to meet the
face value. A few days after he got
the coat he learned by letter that
there was no money there and at once
telephoned to Mr.. James A. Hawkes.,
the tailor, that he expected a party
from the South with money for him
with which he expected to pay his
obligations.
Ex-Governor Moses thereupon gave
vent to a burst Of oratory. as follows:
'ln 1872, when I occupied the posi-.
tion Of chief magistrate Of one of the
prominent states in the Union I was
driven by social ostracism, despite my
position and the counsel Of men high
in public life, to seek relief in that
| alone which seemed to be able to give
rest to mind ill at rest; namely, to
the use of morphine. From morphine
took next to using opium. In fact
in 1876, the time when the Republi
can party surrendered the state to the
opposition, had become so addicted
to its influence that I could not live
without it,
Judge Brown then sentenced hin
to Deer island for four months.

late ambassador, usually spent the
heated term at Newport.
Ambassador and Mrs. Herbert will
undoubtedly receive cordial wei
come at the national capital when
ever they come, as they both are
well known in the city and have a
legion of friends.
The determination to select Mr.
Herbert as ambassador to the Unit
ed States was reached after many
consultations with those best fitted
to voice an opinion in the matter.
While nominally secretary to the
British embassy at Paris, Mr.. Her
bert was really minister plenipoten-
tiary to France, and as such he fire.
quently acted in most important
crises in the absence of Sir Edmund
j. Monsoon, Great Britain's ambassa-
dor there.
Mr.. Herbert's marriage with Leila,
daughter of Richard T. Wilson, of
New York, as a result of which he
became closely related to the Van
derbilts, the Ogden Goelets and the
Astors, will undoubtedly add to his
usefulness as Great Britain's am
bassador at Washington. Mr.. Her
bert's ~record at Washington as
charge d'affaires from 1888 until
1889, and as secretary to the British
legation here from 1892 to 1898, and
his work as British agent on the
Venezuelan commission, eminently
fit him, so official belief inclines, for
his new and important duties.
Mr.. Herbert's recent position at
Paris was somewhat curious. for,
while holding the rank of full
fiedged minister, he had to take sec-
ond place whenever Sir Edmund j.
Monson, the ambassador, was pres
ent.
Before the new ambassador at
Washington takes up his duties the
salary attached to the position will
probably be put upon par with the
highest paid in Great Britain's diplo-
matte service. namely, that which is
paid the ambassador at Paris, $4,000
year.

TIDINEss IN THE HOME.
wives and Husba nds Should Always
Make Themselves Attractive
to Each other.

A great mistake which married
women often make is that of becoming
very careless of their dress and gem
eral appearance in the house when
company is not expected. The wives
of men with limited income are they
who are most prone to err in this re-
spect from foolish idea that dowdi-
ness means economy. but nothing is
more fatal to the happiness of a fam
lily than the unfortunate notion that
anything does when we are alone
we must keep our finery for those oc-
casions when we have visitors" Many
a man is tempted to leave his home,
tired of constantly meeting a shabby,
untidy wife, and to seek amusement
and gayety elsewhere. On their re-
turn from business, husbands or
brothers like to see their wives or sis
tiers looking fresh and neat and ats
tractive. No extravaganza need be in
dulged ina blouse of some bright
color, a clean collar, bow of pretty
ribbon, and the hair neatly and be-
comingly arranged, will make all the
difference in the cheerfulness and at
tractiveness of the home. A child
should be taught from an early age
to be tidy and clean to meet its ia
ther; and those who are old enough
to take their meals with their parents
should never be allowed to come to
the table until face and hands have
been washed and hair brushed-boys
as well as girls. They should also be
taught that tidiness and politeness in
their own family circle are even more
important than when in the company
of visitors or in another persons
house. The husbands also should be
careful to remove all traces of the

Rumor had it once that Prince Mich

Holland were to be married, but moth

One of his plays which he wrote

was assured that the prince ac-

Many story has been told of the
flirtations of the grand duchess, and
she has been made food for gossip
throughout Europe, but, then, gossips
don't always speak the exact truth.
Notmany years ago she was declared
betrothed to Prince Maximilian Of

Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria was
the next fiance the gossips gave the

that she didn't like him, and broke

Next she was said to be engaged to
