Chicago Herald. Here's a sad tale of unrequited West Side affection. Mr. Stern, a clothing dealer of Monroe street, two years ago fell in love with Miss Fan nie Wilson, a pretty girl who was em ployed in a downtown store, Fannie has a handsome figure, a beautiful complexion, matchless dark brown eyes and a vivacious manner." . Fannie and her lover attended the operas, went to dances and were often seen out riding on the boulevards. They loved each other, and the wed ding was to have taken place in a short time. But yesterday afternoon Mr. Stern notified his inamorata that he intended leaving the city, and that he believed he would not marry her. Along toward the gloaming, just as the newsboys were calling out the evening paper, Miss Wilson called at the house of her false lover, at 610 West Fourteenth street. On being admitted she found the family at sup per. She ran up to her old lover, who was just then biting off the business end of an an onion, and dashed a handful of Cayenne pepper in his eyes. Screaming with pain he ran toward her. She threw up her hands and cried: 'Don't touch me. Unloved I will die," and she drew a large vial of laudanum and swallowed two ounces of the poison. She was hurried to the county hos pital, and, with the aid of several physicians and an old fashioned stomach pump, was soon pronounced out of danger Stern's eyes will be all right in a day or two. "The course of true love always had warts on it," irreverently remarked an officer who had figured in the case. Escaping an Embarrassment. Washington Post. A local newspaper man who went down to visit his wife at the seashore recently had a very narrow escape from causing what, to put it mildly, would have been talk. His wife was boarding at the Blank house. It seems that there is also a New Blank house at this resort. Ignorant of that fact, when the young journalist espied a porter with Blank house on his cap he said to himself. "This is my place," and he allowed the porter to pilot him over to the hotel. On arriving there he asked, as a matter of form, if a lady of a certain name, given his own, was staying there. On being assured that she was he remarked that he guessed he would go up to see her. "I don't believe she is up yet," remark ed the clerk. "Oh, that doesn't make any difference," the other responded confidently: "I'll go up." The clerk started at him, but finally gave him the number of the room and sent a porter along with him. "She must be up by this time," he remarked to the porter; "the baby wouldn't let her stay in bed." "Thebaby ? Why, she has no baby," the porter said. Rei teration and denial followed, and finally it entered the journalist's mind that it was possible for a lady of the same name as his wife to be staying at that hotel. The matter was finally straightened out and he' found his wife at another hotel. J'lt is - strange , the ties that attach u to ! disagreeable things at times," as'thti dog said to the tin can sequel. "Still in one's ' life such things are bonndtoeur." - 9 v Xational Emancipation Cele bration. The colored people of Virginia are making arrangements for a national celebration of the emancipation proc lamation, which will last three days, October 16th, 17th and 18th at Rich mond. It is expected that freedmen from all over the Union will be pres ent. An effort is being-put forth to induce President Harrison to be pres ent on the second day. Leading men of the country, white and colored, will attend. One of the chief features of the celebration will be to fix a date for local celebrations hereafter. Murdered Their Uncle. A most horiible crime was commit ed over in South Carolina, last Sun day, when Nelson Nash, who had care of Sam and Marion Nash, orphan children of his brother, aged respect ively 10 and 12 years, was murdered by them. These boys are in jail and confessed they murdered their uncle. They say their uncle was cruel to them and whipped them unmercifully upon slight provocation. Their uncle's wife urged them to kill him, assuring them that they were too young to be punished. On Sunday while Nash's wife was at church and he was sleeping over the fire cooking dinner, Sam stepped up behind and dealt him a fearful blow on the head with a hatchet. Nelson cried out, "Oh, God," and ran out into the yard, where he fell. The two boys then-beat him to death with an ax and .hoe. The youthful murderers then tied the dead man's feet with a chain, hitched the chain to a single tree, took a horce and dragged the body to a neighboring gully and covered him with pine tops. A Cold Hell. Popular Science Monthly. According to the Scandinavian mythology, all who die bravely in battle are snatched away to Valhalla, Odin's magnificent banquet hall in the sky. Those who, after liveB of ignoble labor or inglorious ease, die of sickness, descend to a cold and dismal cavern beneath the ground, called Nifiheim i. e., the mist world. This abode is ruled by the goddess of death, whose name is Hel. The place of torment for reprobates is Nastrond, deeper underground than Nifiheim, and far to the frigid North. This grim prison is described in the Tol lowing passage from the prose "Ed da," written in Iceland in the thir teenth century: "In Nastrond there is a vast and direful structure with doors that face the North. It is formed entirely of the backs of ser pents, wattled together like wicker work. But the serpent's heads are turned toward the inside of the hall, and continually vomit forth floods of venom, in which wade all those who commit murder or who forswear themselves." According to the "Volupsa," a poem of earlier date, the evil doers in Nos trand are also gnawed by the dragon Nidhogg. Not an Imposter. Detroit Free Press. A citizen who was stopped by a tramp on Michigan avenue the other day replied to his request by saying: "No, sir no,sir not a penny ! You are a fraud 1" "In what respect ?" "Why, haven't you asked me for money?" "Certainly, but how does that make me a fraud ?" "Well, then, an impostor." "But I'm no impostor. I simply asked you for a dime. I didn't claim to be the Governor of New York or a fire sufferer. I made no statement from whieh you can argue that I am either a fraud or an impostor." "Well, I have nothing for you." "Ah ! But that's different. Now you make a plain statement of facts, and I have nothing further to say. I can stand it to be poor, but ambigu ity of language is something that I never have and never will . accept.
