The unexpected death last Saturday
in Boston of ex-Gov. John F. Hill
was a shock not only to Maine and
New England, but also to the country,
and was the occasion of genuine sor-
row in the social, business and politi-
cal circles with which he was so con-
spicuously identified. There was no
activity in life with which he was as
ISOLATED which he did not adorn and
to which he was not useful. He was
a man of high ideals, a staunch friend,
of clean life-public and private
loved by his friends and respected by
those who differed with him. Maine
mourns, and the nation sympathizes.

A periodical devoted to the drama
pleads for plays based on some emo
ton other than love. The difficulty in
producing such plays is that every
play must have hero. and in making
hero the playwright as well as his
audience almost inevitably adopts the
view expressed 1000 years ago by a
scribbler on one of the dead walls Of
Pompeii, He who has never loved a
woman is not a gentleman. "-Ex-

TO BE Welded THIS MORNING
Rodney e. Jewell of Omaha and Miss
Della brennan Of Pennsylvania
Fall Into Each Others
Embrace.

Rodney C. Jewell went TO the Union sta.
ton yesterday morning TO meet his fian.
Gee. In all their ten years Of courtship he
never had seen her and she had never
seen him. She was TO have worn a red
ribbon on her coat sleeve and when
Jewell made a canvass of all the girls
and women who got off the train, he
couldn't find ribbon. He took from his
pocket photograph OF his bride-to-be
and studied It closely. It~was Miss Della
Brennan of HARDWOOD. Pa, for whom he
was looking.
And as he looked at the picture, a de-
mure young miss walked up TO him.
Aren't you Mr.. Jewell7" she asked.
Jewell scanned her from head to foot.
Then he looked at the photograph and
again at her. Yes" he answered. and
the pair fell into each others arms.

ried early this morning by Father

years ago. The little note said. who
ever buys this shirt. please write 10 Miss
Della Brennan, etc, and Jewell, then II
years old, was romantic. He wrote.
She answered. The correspondence thus
was started and has since been going as
fast as Uncle Sans mail service would
allow. Two or three letters q week passed
between Chicago and Omaha and Har-
wood, Pa. and the embers Of love were
famed into blaze. They exchanged
photographs from time TO time and kept
each other Informed on the changes they
had made in disposition. appearance,
finances and the like, until neither could
stand being separated any longer. SO
now they are TO be one.
