MARRIED IN FRANCE. STORY OF THE GOWER-NORDICA ROMANCE AND ITS SAD END. Mrue. Nordica Was a Maine Girl Known i as Miss Lilian Norton —Mr. Gower Was Also from Maine —Sketch of His Career. His Phenomenal Success In Tolephony. Lilian Norton, the famous singer, granddaughter of Campmeeting John Allen, was born in Farmington, Me. Her father, Edwin Norton, was a pros perous fanner in that town. Both her, father's and mother's families were ex cellent singers. Lilian attended the Conservatory of Music in Boston to re ceive a musical education. The excel lence of her voice introduced her into the concerts of Gilmore, where she took a prominent part. Thus a way was opened for her to visit Europe and a more complete musical education. Accompanied by her mother she went to Italy, and was placed under the dis cipline of the most accomplished musical teachers of Europe. Having finished her course of study and become notable for her power of song, she received an invitation with liberal salary to sing in the Royal opera at St. Petersburg. She went with her mother to Russia. The manager of the Grand opera of Paris was so pleased with her singing that he save her an invitation to become tho prima donna of the highest seat of song, and by liberal pecuniary rewards sought to obtain her release from her St. Petersburg engagement, but the Russians preferred her voice to the money offered. After she had completed her engagement in tho north, sho ac cepted the overtures made her in Paris and made an engagement to sing in the Grand opera. THE HAKRIAQE. During her residence in Italy her name was changed to T.ilin. Nordica to suit the Italian style of pronunciation. It was during her appearance as the great American singer in the Grand opera that she became acquainted with her second cousin, Frederick Allen Grower, grandnephew of Campmeeting John Allen. He said: "It was not a case of lovo at first sight, for it was full seven minutes before I became enchanted with the lovely singer." The history of this young man is fully as romantic as is the success of Mine, Nordica. Ho was the son of the Rev. H. B. Gower, a Baptist clergyman, who died in Farmington, Me., leaving a ■Widow and three sons, tho eldest 10 and the youngest 6 years old. As the fam ily were leffAn destitute circumstances, Frederick, tho second son, was kindly received and freely supported for a year at the Abbott family school. He had given proof of his activity as an infant by leaping from his nurse's arms, before lie was a month old, through an open window without breaking his neck. As a scholar he was more noted for vivacity than quiet study. Aftei a year's sojourn at the family school Frederick and his brother;;, by •the energy and ability of their mother, were gathered into a family homo in Proyidence, R. I. The two elder broth ers were fitted by their mother to enter Brown university, and were supported 'by her at college till they graduated. George, the eldest brother, became a lawyer, and has served by repeated elec tions as clerk of the Rhode Island assem bly. i Frederick entered upon the profession Oi journalism, and became city editor of Tbe Providence Journal. He wrote to Professor Bell, the inventor of tho tele phone, to deliver a lecture at Providence on the new invention. By invitation young Gower went to Boston to assist Bell in the preparation of his lecture. MR. OOWER'S SUCCESS AND END. His active and ingenious intellect be came intensely interested in the new in vention. He contrived to simplify the machinery and to increase tho intensity of the magnetic power, using one instead of two batteries, and introducing cir cular instead of horseshoe magnets, with other devices now used in the Gower- Bell telephone. Having obtained patents and estab lished the Bell Telephone company, Gower went to France and formed a telephone company there, of which he was president, with a salary of $25,000. He also obtained patents in Germany and England. In England a company was formed, but the English govern ment took the telephone, as they had the telegraph, as a part of their postoffice ser irtfle, purchasing of the company a mill ion dollars' worth of telephones for their use. After a brief acquaintance these two American celebrities were united in marriage, and Mme. Nordica was re leased from her engagement at the Grand opera. Sho came with her hus band to America. Their married life was not a happy one. For sufficient cause Mme. Nordica sued for a separate maintenance, but never for a divorce. While the suit was in progress he left suddenly for Paris, where he had been deeply engaged study ing out an invention to employ magnet ism in the control of balloons. This he considered the greatest invention of tho sge, both for military and commercial purposes. To test the efficiency of some of his plane he undertook in a balloon, alone, to cross the Straits of Dover. Since his disappearance from the view of the spectators who witnessed his ascension he lias never been seen. —Lewiston Jour nal. Lots of Old Folks at Home.

"♦Talking about that apology for ft smoke the Pittsburg stogie reminds mo of a peculiar experience I had with that article some years ago." said an old timo cigar drummer at tho Continental hotel. 41 1 was traveling for a Philadelphia house that made a lint* line of gtxxhi only, and had met only with Indttterer!' success.

"I arrived in tho evening and immedi ately started out to interview the trade. About tho first place I struck was a pros perous looking cigar- store, but I noticed that among the stock the stogio seemed to predominate. 1 presented my card to the proprietor, talked up my stock and firm to him in great shape, but did not seem to be making any great headway. Tho proprietor assured me that he was full up, but said ho would look over my samples tho following morning if I would Rtop in. Wliilo I was talking to him and endeavoring to prolongthe conversation, a gentleman walked in who immediately impressed me its being one of the solid men of the town. He had that unmis takable sleek and well fed air of for tune's favorite. Walking up to tho counter he selected four stogies and lighted one, laid down a five cent piece and walked out. ' " 'Do you know who that is?' asked the proprietor of me. I replied in the negative. 'Why, that's Phipps, Andrew Carnegie's partner,' wa3 tiie astounding assertion. I was completely flabber gasted. That was the mutest and yet the most convincing argument I ever had to withstand. Without a word 1 closed up my grips and took the next train out of town. I had come to the very natural conclusion that if men worth $20,000,000 took their smokes at four for five I did not stand much show With the plebeian smokers."—Philadel phia Enquirer. How Col. White Feed! the Sparrows. Every day about 10 o'clock there ap pears in the doorway of the Pierrepont house, Brooklyn, a gentleman with gray hair and wliiskers of a rather English pattern. The closely buttoned frock coat shows the figuro of a well kept man, careful and methodical in his habits. This man is Col. P. White, who for the last twenty years has been a boarder al the Montague street hotel, and who is as well known as the very name of the house ho inhabits. Regular as a planet, rain or shine, Col. White appears with the same object in view. He feeds the sparrows, who daily await in the big tree opposite the hotel the ap pearance of their friend. Generally Col. White has a handful of corn bread. When he stands outside the door the little gray and brown birds swoop down from their perches. Some of the boldest light on Col. White's arms and shoulders, and there is one very se date and methodical bird that will take his stand on the colonel's thumb and pick crumbs from his open hand. Not less than twenty sparrows are regular in their attendance, and often there are a half a hundred chirping and twittering for their share of the food. When the crowd is unusually large Col. White walks around to the Hicks street side and deals out the crumbs on the sidewalk or on the asphalt street. Some of the birds know his voice, and stand around his feet twittering impudently and impatiently for their rations. When the meal is ended they are told to go, and they do, but only to return about 5 o'clock in tho afternoon for their dinner from the same kind hands. —New York Telegram. "Bringing Father's Dinner.*' It was in the C, H. and D. depot in Cincinnati orie day when one of the men employed to oil the cars as they came in accidentally fell under tho wheels of a moving coach and had his right leg and hip crushed in a horrible manner. He was picked up and laid on some coats spread on tho platform, and a doctor was soon on hand. He must have suf fered intensely, but after the doctor had examined him ho coolly asked: "Doctor, how bad is it?'' "Very bad, indeed." "Will I live?" "Not more than ten minutes; you are bleeding to death." "What time is it, Jim?" asked the man of a fellow employe. "Eleven fifty-five," was the answer. "The children will bring my dinner at sharp 12. Some of you go up and stop them. They musn't see me die. Poor, motherless children—orphans now!" I went to the door with the others, and we were just in time to stop a boy of 8 and a girl of 6 from coming in. Each had hold of the handle of a basket con taining father's dinner, and they were smiling in anticipation of the greeting they would receive. We sent them away with a false story about liis having gone home, and the eyes of both were filled with tears of disappointment. The echo of their footsteps could still be heard on the pavement when the father breathed his last. —New York Sun. Treatment of Dolls. The treatment of boils should be, in the first place, constitutional, aiming to restore the vigor of the system. The diet should be generous, without excess, aud easily digestible. The patient, while avoiding exhaustion, should take a proper amount of exercise, nave an abundance of pure air and wash his body daily with cool water and soap. Local treatment also is needed. To arrest the progress of a boil at its early stage Sir Erasmus Wilson advises the application of a solution of sugar of lead every six or twelve hours with a camel's hair brush. If this fails he would pro mote suppuration by spreading on it a wash leather plaster of galbanum and opium, cut in the middle for the escape of the pus. If the pain continues to increase he would apply soothing applications. When the boil begins to heal he would keep the skin around it dry, clean it with tar soap and smear it with yellow rosin oint ment, dressing the broken surface with lint spread with the same ointment, keeping the dressing in position with strips of adhesive plaster or by a light bandage.—-Youth's Companion.
