Couldn't Dodge the Messages

WIHEN Alice Atherton, the actress, died in
w New York her husband. Willie Edouin,
was playing at the Prince of Wales Theater in
London. Thoughtful friends in New York
deemed it best to notify Edouin through a
third person of his wife's demise, and to pre-
pare him for the full shock of her end by sending
first a cable announcing that she was seriously
i'll. The cable sent to of Edouin S
friends at his club.
The actor had not been to his club in sew
eral weeks; but by chance dropped in there
the very evening of the arrival of the first
cablegram. His friend, to whom the cable
was addressed, CHANGED to be in the country,
and Edouin volunteered to open it and tel
egraph its contents to him.
The second message announcing in plain
language that his wife dead was addressed
to Edouin's family. He had not been home in
several days previously, but had promised to
dine that evening with his family. Hurrying
from the club with the announcement of his
wife's Illness he reached the door of his fathers
house just as the messenger boy with the second
cablegram in his hand came up the steps.

Two Remarkable Falls


IJERE are the accounts of two falls that
IL would jar even the readers of the penny
dreadfuls, and the newspapers OF New York
city frequently chronicle accidents just as
remarkable.
The first was experienced by little four 1
No. 33o East 35th-st., New York city. Her
mother threw the bed pillows over the Win
dow sill to air, and Ethel leaned out over one
of them to see her playmates in the yard The
pillow slid off the sill, and the child went with
it and dropped forty feet to the ground, using
the pillow as a buffer. She was unhurt.
The second was that of Sophie Kennedy, of
No. 23s Cherry-st. in the same city, who fell
through the trap in the fire escape, three
stories from the ground and without touching
the platforms of either of the lower galleries,
dropped head first down the well" landing
in a baby carriage that happened to be stand
ing directly under the fire escape. There was
baby in the carriage; but aside from soaring
the little one and dumping him out the
ground, Sophie's fall resulted in no injury.
The carriage springs and the baby's bedding
saved her life

A Family Affair


A DAM CORDIFF, of small town in Ohio,
n tells his own story:
Il was born about thirty miles from Phila-
delphia. My parents died before was ten
years of age. A mere slip of boy, was taken
by man named Horchock, fruit grower for
the Philadelphia market. He was Ill natured
and abusive, and l ran away.
81 made my way on foot to New Jersey,
where l found work with an extensive peach
grower named Cole. | remained with Cole sew
eral years, and fell in love with his daughter
girl about my age, and married her. When
my employer found it out l was turned adrift.
l met my wife in secret, and we had long
conversation about Our predicament. Finally
we decided in order to avoid more trouble,
that it would be best for me to leave. l was
to seek home elsewhere and then send for her.
81 came to Ohio wrote to her at frequent
intervals, but never received reply. At the
end of year l learned through friends that
my father in law had committed suicide, and
soon afterward came news that my wife had
died broken hearted my letters having been
intercepted, leaving a baby daughter. The
child had been taken by distant relative.
Il at once made trip to New Jersey and
Baltimore; but, owing to lack of means, failed
to locate the child Heartsore and discour-
aged, came back to Ohio, where l have since
lived Awhile ago l received copy of matri-
monial paper published in Boston, which con-
tanned the description of young woman liv-
ing in West Virginia who wished to correspond.
l wrote letter and forwarded it through the
publisher. In time l received a reply.
Il went to the girls house. She was living
with foster parents l was greatly pleased
with her and she with me. l visited her sew
eral times, and we became engaged. On the
day before the date set for our marriage we
were looking over photograph album, and
came upon a picture that took my breath
away. 1t was of my wife Who is that?'
asked. She said it was her mother, who had
died when she was born"

THE LAW OF
COINCIDENCE

HERE are few duly authenticated cases
H of strange coincidence:
Louis Frankowitch, according to the
Buffalo papers, came from another city, and
obtained work before sending for his wife and
son. In writing them to follow him, he failed to
give them the address of his boarding house
He was late at the railway station, and missed
them when they arrived. The wife and son
eventually found a room for the night in a
boarding house on Niagara-st. Meanwhile the
husband searched for his family half the night,
and then went to his room. Early in the
morning he rose to continue his search and
about the same time his wife rose for the pur-
pose of looking for him. At the moment Mrs.
Frankowitch opened the door of her room, the
door of the room on the opposite side of the
hall opened and her husband emerged.

The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1906-08-16

A Marietta physician said that there
is no such thing as hydrophobia from
the bite of a dog. We would like to
know how he would explain the follow.
ing death:
A man beside himself with agony,
suffering from hydrophia, died in Jail
at Morristown, Tenn, on the 9Th inst.
His name was James Brady. He was
bitten by his own dog about three
weeks ago, which at the time seemed
to be suffering with the disease, but
was killed before it developed what
was the matter. Very little attention
was paid to the wound on Brady's arm
until about week ago, when he devel-
oped the symptoms of rabies. He be-
came uncomfortable and escaped from
his home and ran into wire fence ard
cut himself very badly. He was con-
fined in the county Jail. After night
of torture, he died. He was local
Baptist preacher, and leaves wife and
two children.
