His "Dear Eva's" Relatives
Called "ViperS and Crows"

Miss Evelyn Stedeker a spinster
of New York whose hair is turning to
silver, is suing Alvin f. CrOckcr, an
elderly mine prOspector from Arizona
for $50, 600 breach Ofpromise damages,
and for $4O0 he borrowed during his
courtship, which was carried on
principally on the benches of Union
square.
The defendant is a white-bearded
patriarchal looking gentleman, with
soft voice and the manners of a
grandfather. Recently he fell heir
to $4,000 through the death of "A rela-
tive and it is claimed that with the
dawn of prosperity he forgot his love.
A letter was read in which lCrocker
addressed his former love as Dear
Eva He said:
| cannot see what those vipers and
crows are after. / hate to breathe
the atmosphere of Il city that con-
tairs such beings, gamblers, black
mailers and thieves, who only lack
the nerve of an occasion to stab you
to the heart or poison you. | don't
want to hear from them any more.
"YOu addressed Miss Stedeker as
Dear Eva?'" said Lawyer Gantz.
yes" replied Mr.. CrOcker; ''iust
as I'd address you as Dear
'To whom do you refer when you
use the term crows and vipers?' '"
81 wrote that letter in reply to one
received from Miss Stedeker. She
wrote me that her brothers and sis
ters would not help her in any way
and We're always abusing her."
"'Do you refer to the same persons
when you speak about gamblers and
thieves and blackmailers and assas-
sins?' Mr.. Crocker said he would
like to explain, at which Miss
Stedeker, for some mysterious rea-
son, became very merry and held
her hand over her mouth to avoid
laughing outright.

Last Saturday afternoon an aged
white man suffering the actual pangs
of starvation was found in the
swamp a few miles south of town
opposite ROllestOn. A cOlOred man
passing that way heard groans COM
ing from the direction of the swamp,
but he did not stop to investigate
the cause. When he arrived in town
he reported the case to Sheriff How
ell, who, with Louis ROsignol, board
eG the launch Mist and proceeded to
the spot indicated by the darkey.
Arriving at the swamp the party
landed and began exploring the sur
roundings, which resulted in success.
Buried to his knees in the mud, too
weak to help himself or give utter
ance to sound, with his poor body
almost reduced to a skeleton, the old
man was found and rescued. He
was brought to the city that after
noon and taken to the hospital on
Orange street, where his suffering
was relieved. He gave his name as
Wallace. When questioned as to
his presence in the swamp and the
length of time he had been there,
Wallace could give no very definite
information, only saying that he had
gone for a walk, had lost his way
and wandered into the thicket,
where, as well as he could remember.
he had remained for three weeks.
He is receiving the best of attention,
now, and will recover.

A certain American writer of inter
national reputation who died recent
ly, was, like so many other geniuses,
strangely incapable of managing his
own domestic affairs. The small boy
of the family was his fathers pet,
but the terror of the rest of the house
hold. Now it happened that under
this same roof with this small boy
lived two maiden aunts, sisters of
his mother. That they We're thorns
in his flesh he made no pretemse of
cOncealing. On one occasion when
he had overstepped a bit farther than
usual the bounds of propriety in adj
dressing his relatives, his Aunt Julia
appeared before his father to state the
case. Her nephew had called her a
fool, while his Aunt Martha he had
characterized as u d fool. The
young offender was summoned to
the patomal presence. Fixing him
with his eye the father demanded:
Did you call your Aunt Julia
fOol?'

he would like to take ride, which
the official accepted, and ten barrels
of liquor were landed at the custom
house. Next day two more seizures
were made, amounting to over 100

Another disastrous fire has occurred in
South Canaan and the farmers of that
locality are almost panic stricken. About
two o'clock last Friday morning Ernest
Gilman's mammoth barn was discovered
to be on fire. The flames had gained
such Roadway that they could not be
extinguished with the means at hand
and the barn, with $50 tons of
hay, 8 horses, large quantity of grain
and other valuable property was de-
stroyed. John Locke, neighbor who
attempted to rescue the horses, was
nearly suffocated by the smoke and
flames but fortunately escaped with his
life. Mr.. Gilman's dwelling and horse
barn just across the highway were saved
with difficulty. The origin of the fire
was evidently incendiary. The total
loss is over $4,000, insurance $4,000.
