A FIREMAN’S WIFE.

Not so very long ago a Sun reporter
attended the wedding of a New York
fireman, whom he had known since
boyhood. The fireman was about for-
ty-five Years of age, and was making his
first venture in matrimony, his bride be-
ing a handsome widow, twenty years
his junior.

 

During the reception which followed

the ceremony, the happy groom got a
short spell off, and adjourned upstairs
with the boys for a smoke" and a talk.

“Do you know,” he said, slapping the
reporter on the back in a highly hilari-
ous manner, "that I saved my wife
from a fire?”

“There hasn’t been any fire to night,
has there?" inquired the reporter.

"No, but there have been fires on other
nights.” ‘

“But you haven’t been a married man
on any other nights,” contended the re-
porter.

"That’s all right, but you give me a
chance, will you, and I’ll explain,” said
the fireman.

The opportunity was given to him on
a salver on which there was also several
glasses and a decanter. -

“One night, fifteen years ago,” b
said, "there was a fire in a row of three
story brick houses in my district, and
our engine broke for it at the rate of
forty miles a second, but when we got
there the whole first floor of the house
in the end of the row was blazing.
Some of the people had got out, but at
the third story a young girl was leaning
out and yelling for the men with the
ladder to be in a hurry. There wasn’t
any need of her yelling, for we were
hurrying as last as we knew how, but
you know women are kind of funny
about some things. Well, it was my
business to 'do the ladder act, and as
soon as we had it placed I went up it
like a monkey, the girl watching me
with much intere‘t. When I was at
the window and about to reach for her.
she darted into the room, and I thought
she had gone only with fright or some-
thing. and I made a break into the room
after her and caught her ten feet from
the window. Then I noticed that she
was only a slip of a girl, about ten

4' years old. and as pretty as a picture.”

“ Hold on,’ said I, grabbing her, ‘you
come with me, and I’ll take you down
the ladder all right.’

“ ‘Don’t you worry about me,’ said
she as pert as you please. ‘You get
grandma; she’s sick over in that bed
and can’t help herself.’

“I was dumsquizzled by the nerve of

the kid. and couldn’t do a thing except ‘
to follow her directions.

She bundled a
blanket around the old lady, ordered me
to pick her up, and then trotted along
behind me as I hustled for the window
with granny in my arms. By this time
the room, was full of smoke, and the
smoke was covering the whole front of
the house from the windows below. I
took an extra hold on my burden and
started down the ladder through the
smoke.

" ‘Wait right here, close to the win-
dow,’ said 1 to the kid as I started, ‘and
somebody will be after you in a minute,’
and I was going to be that somebody,
for I was struck on the kid, she was so
cool and commanding.

"And do you know what she said to
me? Not a word; just laughed,

“ ‘What a wife for a. fireman you’d
make,’ said I, as I ‘went down the lad-
der, and she laughed again.

“At the bottom I dropped the old lady
into the hands of the men there and
turned to go back after the little girl,
but the first step up I bumped into
something soft, and by the tapers of
mud if it wasn’t the kid.

“ ‘Look out below,’ says she,
’coming.’

“ ‘Seems to me you’ve done come,’
says I, grabbing her up and carrying
her out of the way, and the boys gave
her a cheer that awoke up all the neigh-
borhood that hadn‘t come out to the
fire.

“She wasn’t scared a bit, either,
though all the rest of her people were
11 yiierical and mighty near having fits.

"After that. I couldn’t help thinking
about the youngster, and when it was
about time for the house to be fixed up.
or rather rebuilt, for the 'entire inside
of it had been burnt out, I went around
one afternoon to see how the folks were
getting along. It wasn’t any of my
business, and I really didn't care a CLn-r
continental, but I wanted to see the
little girl and hear her laugh. The
neighbors told me the family had moved
over to Brooklyn, but couldn’t give me
any address, ,and of course I wouldn’t
write any letters or do anything like
that when she was only a ten-year-old
girl, so I had to let up on it. But when-
over I had a chants I kind of made in-
quiries. and“ once I found her mighty
near. but she moved before I got there
and I lost her again. ' This run the time
up to six or seven years, and it was get-
ting to be kind of a Charley Ross case
with the girl getting older every day,
and me too, for that matter, but Inever
would forget-her. ' ' , '

’man has to be, and when the music got
going I was ready for a dance. Every-
body was nice to the visitors from the
metropolis, and all we had to do to
meet a lady was simply to say so and
the thing was done. After I had been
whirling the giddy for two hours, I got
hold of a young lady that I rather liked
better than any I had met, and we went
into the supper room and talked. She
“told me that he folks lived in Brooklyn,
but since her husband died four years
before, she had been living in Philadel-
phia, and that she had a, fondness for
firemen because of an early experience
of here which she told me of, and, by
crackey, I got right up and shook hands
with her in such a way that she thought
I had gone crazy and was about to
shake the life out of her. Then I told
her what I knew of the same story, and
the way the two stories tallied was
something beautiful. She was a little
girl, and hadn’t been thinking of me as
I had been thinking of her, and she had
married, and if it hadn’t been for Prov-
idence coming to my help and taking
her husband away, I wouidn’t be telling
you this story, and a whole lot more of
that kind, but just the same I didn’t
care, for there wasn’t anybody ahead of
me now, and in I sailed. Well, to make
a long story short. I got an extension of
time on my visit, and every minute of it
that I could I devoted to her, and you
see the result to-night, boys. '

“Why did I wait two years?” said the
fireman in response to an inquiry.
"Simply because I had to. She was the
great mogul, or something like that, in
the cloak department of a big store un4
der a five year contract, with a little
over eighteen months to run, and she
wouldn’t break it. Besides, she said
she would have money enough to go
to housekeeping on, with a few dollars
extra for a rainy day. I told her that
part of it would be all right, for I had
saved up a tidy sum myself. and owned
a house, but she wouldn’t listen to me
then any more than she did on the night
of the fire, and I had to do as she said.
But she’s worth waiting for,” he con-
cluded with immense pride, and every
man in theroom lifted up his voice in
vociferous affirmation of the statement.

HETTY GREEN AND THE LAWYERS.

When She is Busy She Uses Up her Attor-
neys Very Fast. a
Mrs. Hetty Green’s eccentricities have
long been a source of annoyance, not
only to the laWyers who have been op-
posed to her in her frequent litigations,
but also to her own lawyers as well.
She is a shrewd woman in business
matters, but she never loses an opportu-
nity to show her contempt for what she
looks upon as legal red tape, and as a
result she has probably changed lawyers
more frequently than any other litigant
known to the courts.
During the examinations of Executor
Barling, a year or two ago, Mrs. Green

averaged a new lawyer for every hear- ;

ing. None of them hurried the case
along as rapidly as she wished, and each
was discharged in turn. In some mys-

5 terious way she secured a lawyer from

Texas'who was an unknown quantity.
If he had ever appeared in the New
York courts none of the counsel on
either side could place him. He was a
big sturdy-looking man, and he started
in as if he meant business. Mrs. Green
was jubilant over her find, and after
the first examination in which he ap-
peared for her she told the reporters
present all that she knew about him.
She referred to him as her "Texas
steer,” and when the new lawyer read
this in the papers the next morning he
was angry and disgusted. Like his pre-
decessors he threw up the case. He left
town, and Mrs. Green said that she
never would find as good afighter in
her interests again.

Over the Line.

A peculiar marriage ceremony took
place some days ago south of Franklin,
lnd. Franklin Corduroy and Ada Shoe-
maker received a license to marry from
Clerk Byfield and they applied to Squire
Taylor of Brown county to tie the knot.
The squire doubted his right to perform
the ceremony outside his own county
and was equally sure there would be
nothing legal were the young couple
married outside the county in which
they had procured a license. The
Squire’s fertile mind soon solved the
difficulty, and a rig was procured.
Driving to the county line, the Squire
took his stand in his own county, and
the couple in Jackson county, and with
ceremony was performed—Boston

George Eliot’s Too Forgiving Dog.

In tne Lades’ Kennel Journal for

AN ASTOUNDED SPARROW.
It Tickled the Rhinosceros's Nose, and the
Great Beast Sneezed.

It is not easy to astonish a sparrow.
You can scare it—“often scared as oft
return. a pert, vorac10us kind”——and
make it fly away; but that is only be-
cause the sparrow has the bump of self-
preservation very prominently devel-
oped, and takes a hint as to personal
danger with extraordinary promptness.
But though it may remove its small
body out of harm's way for the time be-
ing, it is not disconcerted. You can see
that by the way in which it immediate-
ly goes on with its toilet. .Its nerves
have not been shaken—that is evident
from its obvious self-possession and the
way it scratches its head and makes a
note of the fly which went by. It
would not commence at once a frivo-
lous altercation with another of its kind
if it had been disconcerted.

And really, it is not to be wondered
at that the sparrow should not b: be-
yond the reach of astonishment. Think
of what it sees, and sees quite uncon-
cernedly, in the streets of London. Put
a tiger into Fleet street, or a bear at the
bank, and the poor beasts would go
crazy with terror. A single omnibus
would stampede a troop of lions. Yeta
sparrow surveys the approaching fire
engine undismayed, and it sits with its
back to the street when a runaway van
comes thundering death down Ludgate
Hill. The small bird’s life is, in fact, so
made up of surprises that it regards the
astounding as commonplace. So a fly.
sitting down in a train, thinks nothing
of finding itself in the next county when
it gets up. Its whole existence is vol.
canic and seismic. It cannot settle on a
hand without the hand moving. What
would a dog think if, on going into a
ten-acre field, the field suddenly turned
over? But the fly is not put out of
countenance by such “phenomena.” It
comes back to the hand. It is the same
with the sparrow. It thinks no more
of another wonder than the Seven Com-
panions did of another dragon in the
day’s work. >

All the same, I have seen a sparrow
totally confounded and all to pieces. It
was, I confess, only a young one, with
just the promise of a tail, nothing more.
and some odds and ends of fiufif still
clinging between the red feathers. _
was looking at the rhinosceros, which
was lying down close to the railings,
and a very sleepy rhinosceros it was.
Except for slight twitches of the tail
and an occasional fidiget of the ears, it
was quite motibnless. And the young
sparrow hopping about in the enclosure.
coming to the beast, hopped onto it,
looking into the chinks of its skin for
chance grains or insects. And it hopped
all along its back onto its head (the
rhinosceros winked), and along its head

horn onto the big one (and it blinked),

'WRONG HALF ON TOP.

Dlfliculty of Complying with the DIinis-
ter’s Temperance Views.

A preacher with views on the tem-
perance question was walking soberly
along a dusty road, says the Boston
Budget. A farmer with an empty wag-
on, save that it contained a gallon jug,
overtook him and asked him if he did
not wish to ride. The preacher assent-
ing, climbed into the wagon, and as
they jogged along toward the next vil-
lage, the two fell into conversation.

Now, the preacher had his suspicions
concerning the jug, and led the talk
around to the subject of temperance, ex-
pounding his views at great length and
with appropriate emphasis. Much to
his surprise. his companion agreed with
him. Nevertheless, the preacher still
continued to suspect the jug.

“My friend,” he said, presently,
“would you mind telling me what you
have in the jug there?”

“Liquor,” said the farmer.

“I feared so,” continued the preacher.
i "Ne w, my dear friend, you have agreed
with all I have said on this great ques-
tion of temperance?”

“Yes.”

"Can you not give proof that you
. mean ‘ wnat you say, and pour out that
accursed liquor?”

~.SO.37

"But I cannot understand ”

“Wall,” said the farmer, "ye see I’d
do it for ye, only half the liquor in that
.jug belongs to my brother.”

“Then empty your half, my friend."

“But I can’t do that, nuther. Ye see
his hall’s on top.”

GLIMPSES OF MjKlNLEY'S LIFE.

He Enlisted in the Army as a. Private and

. - is Now Brevct-M'ajor.

When the war came McKinley join
ed the army as a private soldier. He is
in the first of that grade ever named to:
the Presidency. You will have the po-
etry of the canvass. It will be heard
when your orators talk about the grand
army raising the private soldier upon
their shields to be Caesar indeed.

The Republic has not been negligent
in its recognition of military services.

Harrisons, Pierce, Grant, Hayes and
Garfield were soldiers. The Democrats
strove to honor McClellan and Hancock.
These gentlemen were all officers. In

developed into the modest rank of Cap-
tain. - ..

Ilis breve: as major came a. month be-
fore Lee’s surrender, and he was mus—
tered out three months later, a mere
bcy returning honorably home after
four years of war. In all of which there
is much to attract those who cherish
war memories. .

For if our modest Major by brevet
did not, like “’ashington, thwart the
purposes of a vast empire or defeat the
veterans of \‘Vellington, like J ackson. or
accepttthe surrender of Lee, like Grant,
yet he marched shoulder to shoulder
and drank from the same canteen. was
in the ranks and it will be “Whoop her
up again, boys,” and give us the same
old song in ten thousand camp fire-
from now until November.

Therefore McKinley will take nil-h
him into the campaign the imaginatioii
of war. As the years go on this is d;-
ing away. Time rapidly takes from us
its roses and romance. Yet what re-
mains is precious, even as one of the
legendary perfumes whose aroma the
ages cannot destroy.

Thiswillhe to the gain of McKinley.
Then we have his civic career. Leaving
the army at ‘22 a. brevet major, with a
downless face, he took to law. entered
an Albany law school and returned at
twenty- four to seek his fortunes in
Canton.

The Major preferred politics to law.
and his career bears a resemblance to
that of President Cleveland. The
country was Democratic He ran in his
27th year for District Attorney, mere-
ly as a. compliment to his party and to
preserve the organization. Somehow
he was elected. He was touched by the
finger of fate, as he has been so often
touched since. With this success came a
marriage which has rested upon him as
a consecration.

In 1876 McKinley won his Ccngres
sional advancement. He found await-
ing him in the House Sherman and
Garfield, Thurman and Foster,

Randall was Speaker, and the youn-L
Buckeye was dumped into a committee
for revising the laws, there to await
until his beard had grown. He listened
rather than talked, which is the McKin-
ley habit, as a rule, and upon his re
election to Congress was advanced to
the Judiciary Committee. The mes:
session he was on the Ways and Means
Kelley. of Pennsylvania. Chairman Kiln
son, Iliibbell, Randall, Tucker and Cong
lisle were among his colleagues. ‘

Beaten in the Forty eighth Congress
through a contest, elected again, Mr.
Carlisle as Speaker, reappoirted him on
"Ways and Means, with Morri :on, Mills.
McMillan, the two Breckenridges. Kel
ley, Hiscock and Reed as colleagues.
Here he won fame as the antagonist of”
the Morrison horizontal tariff bill, and
upon returning to Congress in 1888, the
Republicans then having the House, he
became Chairman of the Ways and
Means.

Reed defeated him, and named him, as
a kind of consolation purse, Chairman

his colleagues Burrows, Dingley, Payne.
of New York: Gear, of Ohio; Carlisle
and Mills, of Texas; and McMillin. C.
R. Breckinridge and Flower, of New
York.

This selection of McKinley cost Reed
the Presidency. In all this Congres-
sional career one notes steady advance-
ment. The young member rose until
he became leader of the House. From
thence to the Governorship was a step,
and this office he held for two terms.

The New Woman Shoots.

A Jersey City woman on finding that
there were two burglars in the house.
stationed herself at a window and fired
three shots at them as they fled out of
the front door. It is no longer the fash
ion for women to faint, or go into 1in
terics when the midnight marauder
breaks in to rob and steal. She is
amore positive danger to the lawless
than even the men of the family. In
fact, it doesn’t matter much whether
the latter are at home or not. . This
thing has a political bearing. Some
time ago an opponent of . woman‘s suf-
frage held that only those who were
ableto bear arms ought to have the
right to exercise the suffrage. Now.
when it is necessary to do ‘ this very
thing, the new woman is equal to the
emergency. Besides, the individual
who, alone and unaided, is prepared to

_. rush to arms in defense of her home,

is really more heroic than he who sim-
ply gets into the ranks with a host of
others. The army theory on the sur
face is not conclusive. ‘

Pretty Light Fabrics with an Infinite Va-
riety of Trimming. ‘4

Published by special arrangement with the
. New York Sun.

Open meshed fabrics are decide'dly in
the lead of all other wool materials this
season, and they afford new and various
opportunities for the display of taste in
the combination of color and finish.
Linings are of the greatest importance
in this sort of gown. and have to be
chosen with special care. Materials
were never more desirable or prettier
than they are this year, and a new edi-
tion of crepe de chine, with masses of
blurred roses and subdued tinted foli-
age allover the surface, is one of the
latest and most charming additions to
the list. Since subdued colors are the
rule among the bEst dressed people,
gray comes in for the lion’s share of
popularity, and soft gray blue is another
desirable tint.

Black and white gowns with one
touch of color are a distinctive feature
of the leatest ideas in dress, and black
canvas made over white or black silk,
with a bodice of white silk well covered
with applique lace, is decidedly correct,
and the only note of color may be in the
collar band. Black and white striped
silks are very popular, and, in combina-
tion with a white chiffon bodice artisti-
cally arranged with narrow frills edged
with cream lace and a yellow satin belt
and collar, you have an ideal gown.

The only noticeable change in skirts
is in. the length. Skirts are decidedly
shorter than they were last season,whfle
nine out of ten are devoid of any trim-
ming except among the thin gowns.
They fit closely around the hips. but the

.outspreading fulness commences just

 

below. The modern sleeve is nothing if
not politic in its method of reduction in
size, for every sort of device is brought
into use to make the close sleeve attrac-
tive and disguise the fact that it is real-
ly diminishing. All sorts of frills and

,puifs and epaulets are set in at the t0p,

but the very latest tailor gowns are
made with the tightfitting sleeves.
Some variety of epaulet is sewn in the
armhole to sort of conciliate matters,
but the sleeve fitting the arm from
wrist to shoulder is there, all the same.
However, we have many days of grace
yet, for the medium sleeve is to prevail
during the summer.

Some sort of fancy cape is considered,
an indespensable addition to a summer
outfit, and while it is so often the case
that when any wrap "is needed a warm
one is required. the average woman can

 

easily convince herself that one of the
frivolous gauze garments so attractive
in appearance and so useless as a pro-
tection rig-mist the cold is a positive ne-
cessity to her comfort.

Pa‘rasos have blossomed out more
gorgeous and varied than ever this sea-V
son, and msiteiials are employed which
never entered into their construction
in years gone by.

Rich soft tints, rather than bright,
glaring colors, are most fashionable this
season, and Dresden flowered and chine
patterened \taffetas and brocaded silks
make the most useful parasols, which
in some instances match the costume.
But this is not considered necessary to
good style this season, as one flowered
silk parasol, well chosen. is equally
pretty with many difierent gowns.
