He was intoxlcated, it is said, and, while attempting to attach a hawser to a tugboat at the: Callowhill street wharf, Schuylkill, fell overboard. All attempts to discover Mailay by the tugboat bauds and men on the wharf were futile. They dragged the river and searched under the boas, but found no trace of the missing man. Finally they) gave it up, concluding that Malloy, too drunk to make any effort to save himself,» bad sunk to the bottom and drowned. But thoy wore in error.

v: Adolheid Elchrodt was a young and lovely Berlinese, who at the age of 17 had been introduced to the Count de Morier, a Frenchman of family and distinction,

He became deeply enamored of her beauty occupies an enviable social and finanand simplicity. The offer of his hand was cial position through her success in a graciously accepted, and he brought her unique branch of teaching. She is now in triumph to his hotel in the Faubourg ..

They had been married about a year and a half when De Morier fancied be observed an alteration in his wife habits and manners. It appeared to him that his adored Adolheid was becoming less frank and confiding toward him she was re-j served, distrait. There was an air of mystery in her proceedings. In fact, it was evident that she bad some secret with which she was sedulously desirous he! should remain unacquainted. He was constantly in the habit of finding scraps of paper scattered about the floor, for the appourance of which she accounted in various unsatisfactory ways. He more than once surprised her in whispered conference with old Karl, a German domestic, who, having lived in her father's service since the period of Adelheid's infancy, had on the event of her marriage requested to an assistant.

Miss Bancroft in the beginning endured almost every discouragement belonging to reform—debt, disappointment, misfortune, lack of sympathy and co-operation. She found friends, however. Physicians were interested in her work, and Mr. George W. Childf gave prominent space in the Philadelphia Ledger to an article treating of hei methods of teaching. The first year she had only two pupils. The third year showed an advance in number. In 1888 the school bad grown to such an extent that Miss Bancroft was advised to find

kindergarten work and learned in the art of ministering to diseased minds and bodies. And now these two ladies are earnest and able partners in their kindred work. The location of the school was changed many times to secure larger and better quarters. In 1892 its home was entirely destroyed by fire. The two brave women who had it in charge were left resourceless as to the

Her school has not only become an object of admiration, but just what she has intended—a public incentive to work in smaller channels.

It was necessary for Miss Collins, when she wished to do any shopping or when she accompanied one of her relatives to t^.e county seat, to drive to the Colorado river and there embark in a small boat and be rowed down the river to tho once great town. It was a long, tedious trip. The return journey was even more trying, for then the boatmen bad to scull against the current of the big stream. Tho people who lived in the distant parts of the coun ty had long Seen muttering about the in convenience of having the county 6eat in such an out of the way place. It wouldn' signify, they said, if Matagorda was bus tling and attractive, but it was moribund, The great schools that had been there had closed their doors. The big emporiums were moved away, and nothing remained but the courthouse to attract the outside public. But although they muttered and grumbled they could make no suggestion for relief. No town of any consequenoe offered a bettar site.

The young newspaper man who loved the bright eyed Texas girl lost no oppor tunity to press his suit. It was but nat ural that he should hear of the burning injustice bf -aving the county seat way down in Matagorda town. One d.iy when the nowspapjr man was courting the prc*t ty Texas girl she abruptly said: "Why don't you move the county seat?' "What's.tbat?" hewexclaimed intasto.i ishment, "I

look upon. She went to Colorado to visit some friends, and there met a hustling yoong newspaper man. The newspaper man fell in love with the pretty Texas girl, but before bis courtship had progressed very far Miss Collins returned to

putting Texas. The young newspaper man meant

to have that girl for bis wife, no matter how far he had to travel, so he left Colorado and followed her to Texas.

In those days the county seat of Matagorda was at the town of Matagorda, in the southern part of the county. There was no railroad then and there is no railroad now in the county. Matagorda was the only town of any consequence in the county. Once it was the metropolis of Texas, the wealth and fashion of the state being centered there. But commerce had robbed it of its laurels. New cities had grown along the coastj and in the interior, and little was left for Matagorda but the memories of the past.

girl repeated.

"Miss Collins," replied the newspaper writer laughingly, "a man will move heaven and earth for the woman he loves. Just tell mo where you wish that county seat movod to." "Move it anywhere you wish—out on the prairift or any place—so persons can gbt to it without spending a lifetime in journeying to and from it," was her answer. /f-J "And if I the "county seat will you"— .. "Yes, I will," was tho reply.

The young man was of buoyant* disposi tlon, and, stimulated with tho promise of reward, ho set to work. In the north he had known another hustling, bustling young man named Magill. To Magill he explained tho project. Magill know a man with enterprise and monoy. These three men determined to build a city. On ("..a bald prairie between the Caney and th6 Colorado rivers they chose a site. It was near the geographical center of the county. From Mensing Bros, of Galveston they purchased 820 acres of tho land they want ed. From t« stockman named Mooro they got another 320 acres. They paid $0 an acre for the Mensing land and $1 an acre for tho Moore tract. They could lia.e bought 640 acres from Moore for $1 per acre, but a creek marked the boundary be tween tho Moore and Mensing strips, and they wanted this oreek for drainage purposes. Thoy had the town site staked out, and they designated which should be business blocks and whi"b should be residence property. While the surveyors were at work laying out tho town and while there was little to mark the site of tho proposed city but the stakes in the ground they canvassed tho county from ond to end on the proposition MJ move tho county seat to the town that was to bo out there on the prairie.

An election

was approaching, and they mado the question of moving the county seat the issue of the campaign. The young man wrote pungent paragraphs on the great question his friends and lieutenants traversed tho county to stir up tho voters and point out all the advantages of moving the county seat to Bay City. There was a hot time in old Matagorda in that campaign. Nothing so stirring had been seen in a political way sinco the war. When tho vote3 were counted, it was found that Bay City had triumphed by a handsome majority. Much bad blood was shown over the result, and for a tirno there wore fears that there would be trouble over th«j election. But tbat was three years ago.

I was in Bay City a few days since. It is more like a small Kansas town than a south Texas county seat. There is little evidenco now of the rancor of that queer election. Matagorda town mourns, but that is all. Bay City is stirred by a new excitement. A railroad, the first to enter the county, is building in that direction. The route is almost direct from Galveston to Bay City. The residents expect great

There are many cur able causes for sterns' in women. One of the most common is general debility, accompanied by a peculiar condition of the blood.

Care and tonic treatment of the female organs relieve more cases of supposed incurable barrenness than any other known method. This is why

Lydia E. Pin khanrs Vegetable Compound has effected so many cures its tonic properties are directed especially to the nerves which supply the uterine system. Among other causes for sterility or barrenness are displacements of the womb. These displacements are caused by •s—/r lack of strength in the ligaments supporting the womb and the ovaries reare these, and the difficulty ceases, Here, ain, the Vegetable Compound works wonrs. See Mrs. Lytie's letter, which follows this column. Go to the root of the matter,

Believe me, under right conditions, you have a fair chance to become the joyful mother of children. The woman whose letter is here published certainly thinks so: "I am more than proud of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and cannot find words to express the good it has done me. I was troubled very badly with the leucorrhoea and severe womb pains. From the time I was married, in 1883. until last year, I was under the doctor's care. We had no ehildren. I have had nearly every doctor in Jersey City, and have been to Belvin Hospital, but all to no avail. I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement in the paper, and have used five bottles of her medicine. It has done more for me than all the doctors I ever had. It has stopped my pains and has brought me a fine little girl. I have been well ever since my baby was born.
