Died Of Broken Heart.

London, April 18.-A pathetic trag-
edy of disappointed love has just occur
red at Scarborough. A young man,
discarded by the lady of his choice, died
of what, in popular phrase, is known as
"broken heart" OF delisque and
sensitive nature, he conceived a deep
affection for a good looking shop girl.
She consented to an engagement and
her lover announced his good foItune to
his friends. His happiness appeared to
be unbounded, but establishment was
to follow. Never doubling the strength
of his sweetheart's affection, he intro
duced her to an acquaintance-an ehgi-
BILE widower- and it appears that an at
tachment sprang up between the two.
Of this, however, the unfortunate young
man remained in ignorance, until friend
informed him his once prospective wife
and the widower were about to be mar
ried. Though skeptical, he hurried to
the registrars Office and there, to his
dismay, he saw the notice announcing
that the ceremony was shortly to take
place. The shock of the blow made him
i'll. He took his bed and, gradually
sinking, died within few days. The
marriage took place as arranged.

Teamster Seriously Shot.

Chicago, April 18.-The first shoot
ing, and the most serious assault since
the commencement Of the Montgomery
Ward strike occurred late this after
noon at Van Buren, and Sherman streets.
Charles Ocker, a non-union teamster,
was leaving the Atlantic Hotel when he
was attacked by union picket. Ocker
drew a revolver and fired twice at his
assailant and although he was but few
feet from the man both bullets went
wide, and one of them struck Walter
Klager, teamster, who was unloading
wagon half square away. Ocker
was arrested. Klager's wound is not
dangerous.
Shortly after this trouble was over,
John O'Reilly of St. Louis, who was
walking on Van Buren, street near the
scene of the shooting was attacked by
union transfers and beaten into insen-
sibility.
Montgomery, Ward & Co. experienced
less difficulty today in delivering goods
than at any time since the commence
of the strike.

RARE COINS ALL cORNERED
It Is Only the Burglars That Keep
Any of Them in Cir
culation.

The passion for making collections OF
articles of various kinds, and particu-
larly stamps and coins, is like hope. II
springs eternal in the human breast
says the New York Sun.
You would be surprised" said pro-
fessional collector of coins and stamps,
Ito know how many utterly worthless
specimens are brought to me by persons
who perhaps have treasured them for
long and then, needing money, have
come to me expecting to be handsomely
paid for an article that really has no
commercial value whatever. Sometimes,
indeed, have paid good prices for
worthless articles of no use to me at all,
to save their owners from the disap-
pointment which could plainly see Q re-
fusal would cause them.
"Why, l handle on an average pretty
nearly 500 specimens a day, both Of
stamps and coins, brought in here by
people who expect them to be literally
worth their weight in gold. Yet in spite
of the great number of specimens coming
into my hands in this way every year.
it's only about once in three years that
l find anything of real value
"Y9u see, it's just this way. Hardly
any good rare coins or stamps are cir
culating at large. Almost everything
has been picked up by collectors; and If
you follow up any rare issue, you can
place almost every one-either find the
owner or account for the ISSUE
"And you will be surprised, perhaps,
when I tell you chat we are indebted to
burglars for most Of what we do find.
One of the light-fngered gentry lifts
some rare old coins; he has no senti-
mental fondness for them based on age
and possible associations, and he Is pn-
able to make any use Of them. SO he
gids himself of the worthless and posi-
bly, dangerous and discriminating arti-
Giles; and in that way they drift into our
hands.
mot long ago a child went into

The old woman who kept the shop took

While one need not purchase an ex-
pensive and shining-new outfit when
making ready for a water trip, yet it is
well to look to it that clothes are be-
coming and presentable. So many peo-
pie nowadays take a vacation voyage,
there is so much travel, it is a sad mis-
take to think the steamer a place to
wear ones oldest and worst garments.
The promenade deck is not exactly the
place to make display of elaborate tot
let's, but it is sufficiently populous and
conspicuous to necessitaSe one to appear
at least passably well, wear clothes wol
made and in good condition. There is
nothing better than trim tailored gown
of good wool, the skirt short walking
ength, the coat whatever style is best
fitted to the wearer. Some consider the
long cape an indispensable adjunct of
the costume for aboard-ship, but to us
1t does not seem an absolute necessity.
A loose-ftting, snug coat is warmer ana
does not blow about so, and generally
the promenade deck is a very breezy
place. However, it is convenient wrap

now obtaining are closer than the ones
formerly in use. Head-gear that will
admit of the use of veil is wisest choice,
and there is pleasing variety offered
at the shops. The automobile cap has
the protecting visor, the tricorne sets
down prettily on soft hair, there are
cool caps of silk and linen for those
torrid noon hours that one does not wish
to spend in stuffy cabin.
A really indispensable article of dress
is some sort of wool scarf to put on the
head when cold winds blow; it acts as
protection and keeps the hair in some
kind of order And remember one
should take a goodly number of wells,
to suit the varying weather. On calm
days close hat with neat face-veil will
be sufficient, and perhaps for the sake Of
picturesquness one might sport bill

times when a strong. thick veil will have
to be donned to keep down tan and burn

The women mostly had on these
baggy Turkish trousers, like the
Zouaves wear, and a jacket, and

they acted as though If the next

Affected by a few days on the water.
For dinner appearance, the popular
lingerie waist is boon, worn with the
morning skirt, or worn with q little
lightweight skirt put in extra, ii
changes the athletic girl of the prom
enade deck into drawing-room miss;
and then after dinner the addition of
long cloak will transform her back again
make possible moonlight hours on the

Shoes should be substantial and also
presentable, for they surely will pre-
sent themselves to passing view when
ever the wearer steps without the cabin,
skirts almost constantly switching in
the breeze. Footwear is very consp1cu-
Gus on shipboard, and should be trim
and attractive. People who look well
on a voyage look very well; the dowdy
folk look dowdier than ever, with wisps
of hair hanging, shoes run down, skirts
forlorn, general half-dressed appear
ance. Take time to make your toilet,
make frequent excursions to dressing
room If you would be satisfaction to
yourself and appear pleasing in the eyes
of your fellow yoyagers.
Sometimes there are, even on north
ern water trips, hours of hot sunshine
that require apparel of summer weight.
Pongee is cool, does not muss easily and
comes in many colors. A pongee or silk
skirt and a lingerie waist, and worn with
X these white canvas shoes, white hat
and a veil matching the skirt, would
make a costume well suited to a
warm day. An all-white dress would
soon lose it's freshness on a steamer
and is not to be recommended. And,
by the way, pongee underclothes are
said to be the very best thing when one
goes for a few months of European
travel-one can wash them oneself of
an evening, and they need no ironing.
Pongee is used for everything now, from
underclothes to top coat. 1t is of light
weight, sheds the dust easily, washes

are The natural color is the beat for

Pygmy Marriages.

Some hitherto unpublished facts
about the habits of the African pygmies
are contained in pamphlet just pub
lished by Col. Harrison, who brought
from central Africa the party of little
people now in London. The pygmies
generally marry at the age of eight or
nine, and the men buy their wives with
three or four spears and ten to fifteen
arrows. according to the market value
of the lady. They pay by installments.
and not until the last arrow is handed
over is the lover allowed to take his
bride. A man may have as many wives
as he can afford to buy. The birth of a
boy is welcomed, but when a girl baby
arrives the unfortunate creature is
soundly dashed by the father with a
bunch Of plantain leaves.-N 7. Sun.
