THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1892. THE ROANOKE NEWS. THURSDAY MAY 19, 1892. UNDER DIFFICULTIES. MEXICAN WOMEN ARE CHARMING, HUT TIIEIll LOVERS ARE UNPLEASANTLY JEALOUS. PitUhirg Post. A theatrical man was relating some of Lis experiences in the office of the Sev enth Avenue Hotel yesterday aud he told a story of n narrow escape he had iu the west. "I was ahead of an opera company which Was playing on the Pacilio coast a few years ago," said he, "and one day I struck a town on the Mexican border where I came near remaining permanent ly, as after events showed. There was a Mexican ball being held that cvenitig and in company with the local manager and a party of young fellows I dropped in to sco the fun. "I had heard a great deal of the beau tv and manners nf Mexican women and j was curious to get a peep at greaser so ciety. The dance was iu full blast when we arrived, and we had not been there long until we decided to take a hand in the fun. A pretty little senorita, with great lustrous eyes, that would make a man mad if he looked at them too long, attracted my attention, and without the formality of an introduction I asked her for a dance. She accepted, and we whirled through a waltz which she seemed to enjoy as much as I. "She was as light and graceful as she was handsome, and I seated her I took occasion to engage another dance, which was followed by another. It was a ease of smitten, I confess, but oue of my friends interrupted my dream by taking me to one side.and saying, ' See here, do you want to get us all into trouble? If you -don't you had better take a walk out of this place right away while you're in good health.' I asked him to explain aud he did so. 'Do you see that greaser over there? Well, he's the lover of that girl you've been flirting with and he's been watching you with a bad eye. There's going to be trouble here soon if we don't get out.' 'Nonseuse,' replied I, 'what do I care for the whole gang of yellow skinned dogs? I've got this dance engaged with my lit tle charmer and I'm going to have it.' As the music struck up the senorita and I started out, but we had only danced a few measures when the circus began. Bang! went a revolver shot and a volley followed. The lights went out, my part ner screamed and left me, and matters got very interesting in a very short space of time. At the first shot I dropped to the floor, and as the crowd was in the middle of the room I had little t.oublein groping my way to the wall and finding the door." "When I got on the outside I found my friends, who had made their escape when they saw what was coming, and they were greatly surprised to sec nie with a whole skin. 'These greasers have their way of doing things,' remarked the local manager, and I agreed with him." MOST TOO HIGH. The Lewiston (Me.) Journal tell this story about a somewhat illiterate Maine woman who had just returned home after a visit to New York : "Oh," she said to a friend, "I had auch a perfectly lovely time, everything was bo convened you know. We stopped in a house where we rode up to our room iu a refrigerator, and I always had my washing done at tho foundry, right in the house. It was awful nice. Then there weren't no stove and no clutter in the rooms. Then there was one of these legislators right in tho floor, and the heat poured right up through it." now aid it nappen tnnt you came back so quickly ?" "Oh, well, you see, Sairy didn't hav no appertite. I had the hardest work to get her asytuiug that she could realize. TT .1 1 T . f l l Honestly, wnen i got ner norue sne was almost an individual."

The eighth Earl of Stamford, who died in June, 1890, was married to a negress at Capo Colouy, and left a son by her. This son, however, was born prior to the marriage, and the decision of the House of Lords declares that he is illegitimate, and, therefore, has no claim to the title, which passes to the late Earl's brother, William Gray.
