Vigil of Love That Killed a Great
Scientist.
How Affection Of Lord Kelvin, the
Famous British Physicist, for
His Wife Really Led to
His Death.
BY e. J. EDWARDS.

- W eSNvHnSSs
Two years ago in December, the
cable brought the news to this coun.
try. where he was widely known and
loved, that Lord Kelvin. the great Brit
ish physicist. had died after brief
illness. A day or so later the cabled
accounts Of mis- funeral told that the
only flowers on his casket at the fu-
neral was wreath from Lady Kel.
win. How Lord Kelvin's great love
for his wife really led to his death is
here told for the first time, and the
story Is vouched for by Mr.. George
Westinghouse of Pittsburg, who was
one Of Lord Kelvin's most intimate
friends.
when Lady Kelvin accompanied
Lord Kelvin to America said Mr.
Westinghouse, everybody who met
the two were invariably impressed
with their deep devotion to each 9th.
err. 1t was easily apparent that Lady
Kelvin was not only sharer in her
husbands interests in mechanics,
physics, industrial development, and
all science, in fact-of which he was
in so great degree a master-but also
that their domestic relations were
ideal, she constantly looking to his
comfort and ministering to him. and
ne responding with gentle carresses.
During Lord Kelvin's last visit to
this country. his friends here learned
that he was deeply solicitious regard.

Some time after his return to Eng.

Kelvin had, in fact, become a hone.

that Lord Kelvin himself was serious.

announcement of his death followed.
1T was his solicitude for the com.
fort of his invalid wife-his helpmeet
OF life time-that really killed him.
Though he was man of advanced
years, and had need to husband his
strength, from the day that Lady Kel.
vim became an invalid. he was in con.
slant attendance upon her. He could
scarcely be prevailed upon to leave
her for few minutes, even; he
seemed to feel that that time was
wasted which he could not devote to
the care of his wife. He was con-
WINGED that her illness was mortal.
and to those who endeavored to per.
suade him to rest now and then, he re-

WHITE FIGURES
IN ELOPBMENT /
Travelling Man we'll Known in
Fargo Elopes with Minot Girl

Somewhat of a sensation was
created in society circles of
Minot last evening, when it was
discovered that one of the
popular young ladies of the city
had eloped with a well-known
travelling man.
The young lady in question
is Miss Madge Blackman and
the gentleman is Patrick White,
representative of the Roach
Tisdale Candy Company, we'll
known in Fargo. The young
people left Minot yesterday on
the Bismarck special, and it
was not until late in the day
that relatives of the young lady
found the trail. The authori-
ties were communicated with
at Bismarck, and an attempt
made to break up the plans of
the clippers. The Catholic priest
at Bismarck took charge of
Miss Blackman and kept her
under his eagle eye until the
situation could be definitely
settled. Mr.. White was allowed
to 90 on his own recognizance
by the authorities. When it
was discovered that the BRIDE
to be is of legal age, having
passed her 10th birthday last
September, no further effort
was made to stop the ceremony.
Communications were flying
over the long distance tele-
phone line between Minot and
Bismarck all dav yesterday,
and today it was given out that
all obstacles have been remov-
ed and the young couple will
be married tomorrow morning
in the Catholic church at Bis
marck.
The story of the elopement
and the happy termination of
the affair has been a great sur
prise to Minot people. Only a
few months ago, it was an
nounced that Miss Blachman
would wed Mr.. w. c. Ripley,
who is now conducting a bank
at Fort Yates, Montana. Mr..
Ripley was formerly employed
at the Union National hank in
this city, and has made fire
quent visits to Minot since 10.
eating in Montana. The we'd
ding was supposed to take
place during the early spring.
Mr.. White is one of the most
popular Knights of the Grip
who visits Fargo and Miss
Blackman has been popular,
indeed, among the young so.
