THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1894.
LIEUT. LENDHEIM.
Lieutenant von Lendheim was an
Austrian officer of hussars. That he was
handsome fellow goes without saying,
for all Austrian hussars are handsome.
He was, moreover, about 82, clever,
well educated and a good deal of a man
of the world in a German sort of way.
With all these charms of mind and
manner united in a single individnal,
It was not a cause for the slightest won
ierment among his friends that Miss
llary White, the daughter of Colonel
White, a New York broker, who, with
her mother, was spending the winter in
Vienna, should fall a captive to the
manifest court that he paid her from
the first. The wonder really was that
she held out as long as she did, for it
was quite two months after she had first
met him before she agreed, at the expi
ration of a certain time, to become his
wife.
It was accordingly settled that the
lieutenant should procure a leave of
absence as long as possible and appear
in New York at the appointed time
the following June to claim his bride
at the hands of her father, although np
to this time that particular functionary
was wholly in the dark as to what was
to be required of him. These inciden
tal preliminaries having been thus satis
factorily arranged, the bride to be and
her mother whom, the lieutenant in
his unaffected way already called
"mamma" set out for Paris to under
take the real, serious business of the
affair, and for the next few months
they were absorbed by the shops and
dressmakers.
History does not chronicle the doings
of the lieutenant in Vienna during these
weeks of waiting, but lovelorn letters
on pink paper with a crest came regu
larly to Miss Mary White she hated
the pink paper, but adored the crest
and were answered by her in good time.
Like all protracted seasons of longing
and waiting, this, too, at last went by,
and not only had the dresses and other
paraphernalia been sent home from
. Paris, bat the lieutenant at last found
himself on a Bremen steamer half way
to New York, whither Miss White and
her mother had already preceded him.
He arrived earlvone stifling morning
in the pleasant suburb of Hoboken. By
a series of contretemps, although the
vessel had been reported the evening
before, neither Miss White nor any
member of the family, nor even the
coachman, met him at the pier. He
was forced to drive alone as best he
might, to the apartments of an old ath
letic friend in Fifty-ninth street, with
whom, as had been arranged, he was
to lodge while in New York. He final
ly reached the metropolis in a very
mixed frame of mind. Such a little
. matter as this, however, although it
wounded the lieutenant's vanity, even
in his present state of eubmissiveness,
was easily and satisfactorily smoothed
over and soon forgotten, and the few
days intervening before the wedding
were spent in a round of gayety. So
much did he see in such a short time
so tnany persons and places that to
th&day he does not knowwhether Del
motoico's is a street or a theater, or that
-Riverside drive is not a part of the
' JJattery. One thing, however, he does
-remember, and that is the exact location
of the Church of the Holy Trinity,
which he vows he could find in the dark
but that is anticipating the story.
When the day of the wedding came
the ceremony had been fixed for the
evening the lieutenant drew a sigh of
relief. Somehow or other the New
York visit had not been quite satisfac
tory to him. He had been whisked about
so that it had not only confused him,
but had begun to tell upon hint physic
ally. Worse than all this, although he
had been constantly in Miss White's
company, somebody or other had always
been there, too, and they had not even
had an opportunity, as he reflected
somewhat bitterly, with an old world
conception of the part he was playing,
for a single comfortable tete-a-tete or
an exchange of confidences. This par
ticular day he had been denied heart
lessly, he thought, though they told him
it was a necessary preliminary the
first sight of the beloved object until he
should meet her at the altar, and he
had rather a wretched time, which he
spent variously in retrospection, polish
ing his cartouch and vigorously rub
bing up other metal parts of his equip
ments. Upon one thing he certainly
congratulated himself, and that was
that the end was near, and that his
troubles were almost over.
The wedding was to be a military one
to a certain extent. The groomsman
was to be the Austrian consul in uni
form, and with that minute attention
to detail that characterized all the wed
ding preparations it had been arranged
that out of compliment to the diplomat
and the nationality of the groom him
self the Austrian national hymn should
be played daring the service. The cere
mony was to take place at 8 o'clock at
the Church of the Holy Trinity.
Now, it must be borne in mind that
there are in New York no less than
three churches of the Protestant Episco
pal denomination having Trinity as a
constituent part of their names. First
of alL there is Trinity church proper, or
Old Trinity, which, as everybody knows,
is on Broadway, opposite Wall street;
then there is its immediate offshoot,
Trinity chapel, extending from West
Twenty-fifth to West Twenty-sixth
street, near Broadway, and, finally, there
fa the. Church of the Holy Trinity, al
ready mentioned, which stands at the
corner of Madison avenue and Forty
second street. The three churches bear
no sort of resemblance to each other in
shape or size, and, as has been stated,
they are block after block of city streets
apart.
: The first of Lieutenant von Lend
heim's misadventures, and, be it said,
the moving cause of them all, was, in a
certain sense, not his own fault. They
bad so many things to attend to around
at the Whites' that he had been left
rather neglectfully to arrange for his
own carriage to take him to the church,
t only occurred to him late in the aft
ernoon that it was necessary to have a
carriage at all, and he at once rang for
a messenger, and when he came gave
him a verbal' order to the liveryman in
the next street. The lieutenant had al
ways maintained, and even now, when
he can view the matter to a certain ex
tent dispassionately, still maintains
that he gave the order correctly to the
messenger boy. However that may be
fiie Tky unquestionably told tne livery
man that the carriage was to go from
Fifty-ninth street with its fare to Trin
ity church, and in that form the order
was passed on to the coachman. ,
The carriage drove up to the door,
: and the lieutenant, in all his gorgeous-
ness of apparel, came clanking down
the front steps and entered.
! " You know where to go?" he said to
the coachman.
"I do, sir! Trinity!" was the reply,
! and the lieutenant was soon bowling
I along down town over the New York
! pavements.
His mind, when he first got into the
carriage, was almost in a whirl at the
imminence of the event that was about
to transform his life, and it now had
plenty of time to resume its normal con
dition of tranquillity. The journey
seemed long to him, much longer than
he had supposed, but any distance, he
reflected, would appear great at such a
time, and he held his peace. His en
durance, however, at last gave out, and
he was just on the point of appealing
to the driver, when that unsuspecting
individual drew up with a flourish, and
in a trice had descended and opened the
door with the. cheerful remark, "Here
you are, sir!"
The lieutenant hastily arranged his
accouterments, for he knew that he
was late, and hurriedly dismounted.
He had already taken a step toward the
church, when he looked up and saw to
his unutterable dismay that the edifice
was closed and unlighted. It came to
him like a .flash that he fyid been
brought to the wrong place, and that
the cabman was personally responsible
for the blunder. That worthy had again
mounted the box and was gathering up
the reins preparatory to a start, when
the lieutenant, keeping in check for a
moment a rage that was bloodthirsty in
its vehemence, wheeled where he stood
and called out, " What church is this?"
"Trinity, sir!" said the cabman, with
a shade of injury in his voice.
Then the- lieutenant sprang forward
as if he meant to commit murder, but
he relented in time and stood' still at
the curb shaking his fist at the man,
while he objurgated and reviled him in
German and English. Long before he
had ceased anathematizing the cabman
the latter, with a look of alarm such as
one might bestow upon a dangerous
lunatic, whipped up his horse, and, with
a look behind to see whether he was be
ing followed, vanished incontinently up
the street.
The hopelessness of the lieutenant's
predicament became intensified as he
saw the object of his wrath disappear
in the distance. It was late; long past
the time for the wedding, and he was
alone in a remote quarter of an un
known city. Something must be done,
and done quickly. He looked about
him in search of a cab, but not one was
visible. Just at that moment, how
ever, a street car came slowly up from
Bowling Green, and when it finally
reached him the lieutenant hailed it
and got in, amid the admiring gaze of
the passengers it had thus far picked up.
The conductor was just then engaged
in his first collection of fares, and the
lieutenant had only time to settle him
self in the farthest corner of the car
when he in his turn, was addressed po
litely but firmly with "Your fare, sir!"
Now, the lieutenant had not really ex
pected to be called upon to expend any
money that evening, but in view of
some possible emergency he had pro
vided himself with two bright $20 gold
pieces. One of these he now produced.
The conductor took it, examined it on
both sides, and regarding the lieuten
ant quizzzically said: "You can't try
that on here; it won't work."
"But it is all I have," said the lieu
tenant. "Then walk," was the suggestion as
the conductor pulled the bell. The
lieutenant, burning with indignation,
alighted, and once more stood alone on
the curb. Then he sauntered on up
the street in the direction taken by the
car. " At the Astor House he discovered
a hansom that had just deposited a
passenger on the sidewalk, and he hur
riedly hailed the driver.
"Where is the Church of the Holy
Trinity?" he shouted.
"Down there," said the cabman,
pointing in the direction from which
the lieutenant had come.
"No," said the lieutenant, epi gram
matically, "I do not mean there up
town?"
"Oh!" said the cabman, "will ye be
after goin up?"
"I will," returned the lieutenant,
"and I have the utmost haste."
"All right," said the cabman, "I'll
git ye up in good shape, " at which the
lieutenant entered, and they started off.
This time it must be conceded that
the lieutenant was really at fault, and
that, too, in spite of bis previous expe
rience with an insufficiently instructed
driver. It ought to have been apparent
to him with half an eye that this par
ticular cabman , hadn't the slightest
Idea where he was going, and had start
ed oat with the hope and. intention of
picking up his information on the way.
Had his fare been listening for that
sort of thing, he might have heard the
following conversation carried on a lit
tle later between his own cabman and a
colleague whom he had overtaken:
"Say, Bill, Where's Trinity?"
"Down?" asked the colleague.
"No; up."
"West Twenty-five off Broadway."
They were going there now the near
est way, and it really was not very Ion 3
before they came out into the blaze of
light at Madison square, and soon pull
ed up in a throng of carriages at the
door of the church. The lieutenant rose
to his feet and leaped out upon the
sidewalk. Without a word he recklessly
handed one of his $20 goldpieces to
the driver, and almost ran up the steps
of the church.
Once inside the edifice the lieutenant
found himself in the midst of an assem
bled multitude. Brilliant lights flash
ed in all directions, the organ was play
ing softly, and there was the general air
of expectancy which always prevails
just before the entrance of the bridal
party. The lieutenant's one thought
was that he was still on time. The
beatitude of the idea so possessed him
that he did not heed the usher who po-'
litely stepped forward as he started
down the center aisle, nor did he no
tice the hum of curiosity that ran over
the church when he had advanced to
the steps of the altar and turned and
stood there erect and alone with an air
that was sublime in its imperturbabil
ity. He had not arrived a moment too
soon, for scarcely had he turned and
faced the entrance whenjhg buzz o$x-
pectation grew louder; the introspective
murmuring of the organ turned into
the triumphant joy of a wedding
march, and the bride the end and brief
epitome of all with her retinue of men
and maids entered and had already be
gun her progress toward the altar.
Without a shade of self consciousness,
but if possible more erect arid martial
; than ever, the lieutenant stood there
i and awaited her approach 'Behind
' him the officiating clergyman had si
i lently taken his place at the head of the
J chancel steps, and two men in unexcep
tional black, one of them with the air
of an actor who was to play a principal
part, had arranged themselves near
him. The lieutenant, whose -senses
were absorbed by the specta'cle in front
of him, had seen nothing of all this, al
though the men in black immediately
noticed him and had exchanged sig
nificant glances of inquiry.
The procession slowly advanced. It
was close upon him when his eyes for
some inexplicable reason strayed for a
moment from the bride and intelligent
ly fastened themselves upon her escort,
upon whose arm she leaned. He start
ed, for it was not Mr. White. Some
thing must unexpectedly have happened
to him, he thought, some sudden ill
ness, to keep him away. His glance
quickly went back to the bride, but this
time he did not start. For an instant
his heart stood still, and he ceased to
breathe. He could not believe the evi
dence of his eyes, but thought he had
suddenly gone mad. Even though the
veil covered and in part concealed her,
the approaching figure was not Miss
White. For one awful moment, that
sometimes comes back to him in
dreams, he stood there without a sense
or volition. Then he turned round and
saw the two men in evening dress in
the chancel behind him, and at once
the horror of it all flashed through his
mind.
How the lieutenant got out of the
church he never knew, bat it was not
until he found himself on the sidewalk
that he came once more into full pos
session of his faculties. Then .lie am
bled up to a policeman and inquired
falteringly:
"What church is this?"
"Trinity chapel," was the reply.
He did not groan he was made of
sterner stuff but his heart sank like
lead within him. He had to go to the
corner of Fifth avenue before he found
a cab that was disengaged. He didn't
care, however, he was in no hurry now.
He recognized the futility of even try
ing to hasten where haste could no lon
ger avail. When at last a man from the
opposite side of the street signaled his
readiness for a fare, he motioned him
across and asked in a voice in whose
appealing note of despair there was an
infinite pathos, "Do you know where
the Church of the Holy Trinity is?"
"I do, sir!" said the cabman.
"Where is it?"
"Corner Madison avenue and Forty
second," was the reply.
"There," said the other wearily, "is
where I desire to go."
When the lieutenant arrived, crushed
and discouraged, at the church for which
he had started out in such high spirits 1
earlier m the evening, he found it closed
and deserted. He had known that this
would be the case, and when" the " cab
drew up in front of the building he
didn't even dismount.
"The Dakota," he said hopelessly to
the cabman, and then wondered at him
self for having said it.
It is a long drive from the Church of
the Holy Trinity to the great apartment
house in West Seventy-second street,
where the Whites lived. The lieuten
ant, however, did not mind it this
time, for it gave him the needed oppor
tunity to think over what course to pur
sue. Of one thing he was certain and
he accepted the fact grimly he had
lost Miss White. Then there came to
him the realization of that loss. He
thought bitterly of the lonely years that
stretched out before him ; how his fam
ily and friends in Vienna, particularly
his fellow officers, would regard the
affair, and he resolved to see her once
more and learn whether he had forever
forfeited all claim to her affection. The
particulars of that interview have never
been divulged, bat Lieutenant and Mrs.
von Lendheim certainly started the
same evening on their wedding jour
ney. Mrs. White also left town imme
diately, which, considering the predic
ament in which the public was placed
by the marriage notice that had duly
appeared in the morning papers, was
an unfair thing to do, but she had cer
tainly produced a social effect, though
not exactly in the way intended.
The lieutenant, in his faraway Vien
na home, is a happy man except when
he thinks of that night in New York,
then a cold, hard look comes over his
face. Once in awhile a letter is re
ceived from Mrs. White, in which She
expresses the hope that the two will
soon come to America to make her a
visit. When it is read aloud by his wife,
the lieutenant says never a word he
merely shrugs his shoulders. Ex

A Sad Case That Touched the Judge's
Heart In tire Christmas Season.
When the dispossess ciaee of .Jacob
Korn against David Samkin was called
in the Fifth judicial district court yes
terday mon.ing, a girl 10 yeafs' old,
with a torn shawl about her head and
shoulders, advanced trembling! to the
rail and handed a letter to Justice
Goldfogle. '. : J
She represented Samkin, the .tenant.

rooms on the second floor of the tene
ment at 82 Attorney street. This is the
letter:
Judge Goldfogold:

in the street my father tries for us very much
and he can't help us bacau.se it is bad time now
bacause he can't pay the rend and cant give us

The girl wept copiously vrhiiu-dt
tice Goldfogle struggled with this com
munication, but when he questioned
her she answered with keen Vintelli
gence. She was sure she had written
the letter herself and explained that her
parents formerly lived in Cherrj. street,
and that she knew the location of the
court because she used to pass it daily
on her wav to school.
Justice Goldfogle turned toAgent
Boltz, who represented Landlord Korn,
and suggested that as the case, was a
very distressing one Mr. Korn could
find no better opportunity for thp exer
cise of leniency.
"You may see from this letter," the
justice said, "how pitiable the njjghtof
this family is. The girl says they have
neither food nor fuel, that her mother
and father are ill and helpless and have
no means of sustenance. It is' the
Christmas season, too, and there) could
be no better time for the exercise of
charity. It seems to me that M-Korn
might" J
The agent held up both hands in pro
test against the supposition that Mr,
Korn might do anything of the kind.
"I am only the agent," he said, "and
I am doing no more than my duty.
They have not paid the rent. ' I can
not help it."
The justice looked at the child who
had come through the storm to plead
for a few days more under the roof
where there was neither food nor fire.
"Go home," he said, "and tell your
mother she may have until Wednesday
night to pay- the rent. "
The girl was gone in an instant.
"If it is the last thing I do on earth,"
Justice Goldfogle continued, "I'll see to
it that this taimly has a Christmas
dinner."
The agent was keenly affected by the
girl's story and offered no opposition to
the decision. New York Herald.
THE PRIZE TRIPLETS.
They Have Laid Claim to Superiority Over
the Leamington Three.
Mr G. Mayes writes to us from Hal
stead to call attention to-the faet-that
the Whitmarsh near Leamington
triplets are not the only ones which have
lived to celebrate their majority. At
Edinburgh one morning in August,
1863, the wife of Mr. G. Mayes, watch
maker and jeweler, surprised her hus
band by presenting him with triplets
two sons and one daughter a feat
for which she was rewarded by duly re
ceiving the royal bounty-.' When the
youngsters came of age in 1884, the
proud father commemorated the event
by having a photograph of the three
taken and sending a copy to the queen,
in acknowledgment of her former kind
ness. Her majesty replied to Mr.
Mayes' letter, expressing a hope that
the triplets were well and prospering.
Mr. and Mrs. Mayes the latter of
whom was the mother of five children
in 18 months are still well and hearty,
and on the 3d of January they propose
celebrating their golden wedding. Mr.
Mayes tells us that the triplets all enjoy
good health. vWe are all three mar
ried two boys and one girl and two
of us myself and sister have children
of our own, my sister three and myself
one. We have attained our thirtieth
year, and so outstrip the case near
Leamington. " Westminster Gazette.
ICELANDIC EMIGRANTS.
The Exodus Beginning to Assume a Seri
ous Aspect to the Arctic Island.
Since the political agitations of Ice
land in 1885, which disturbed and dis
couraged the population, things have
been going materially from bad to
worse. We ara occasionally called upon
to listen to jeremiads about Icelandic
starvation from those whose sentiment
for the Icelanders is more active than
their information is exact, and the
(English public has become suspicious
of cries of "Wolf!" But the .present
leason, with its excellent weather and
good supplies of food, has not shown
any reaction against the draining away
of the people. ,
This summer no fewer than 600 per
sons emigrated to America, bringing
the population below that limit of 70,
000 to which it had already dwindled.
The island now contains, it is believed,
fewer inhabitants than it did in 1870,
before the temporary rise in Icelandic
prosperity. The emigrants are largely
of the farm laborer class, and there is
a growing complaint that portions of
the country are going out of cultiva
tion because there is no one to work on
the land. , - .
Canada is beginning to attract the
Icelanders to its northern provinces,
and during the last six months three or
four Canadian agents have been visit
ing every township in the island,
preaching the attractions of the new
country. The government has even gone
so far as to introduce a bill proposing
to discourage emigration, or in any
case to put a stop to the propaganda of
these Canadian agents, but it is doubt
ful whether this measure will pass the
althing, and nothing seems able to
modify the distaste which the Icelander
has formed for his venerable but arid
acres.
A speaker in the althing the other
day remarked that a bill preventing
Icelanders who were doing 'Well in the
west from writing to their friends' at
home would do a thousand times more
service than an attempt to persecute
tooting colonial agents. Saturday Be-,

Old John's Translation.
Every one in Boston knows of old
John the Orangeman, that picturesque
and almost historical personage who
presides over the affections of all Har
vard men. And every one who knows
John knows also that his life's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever relegated to the re
gion of sorrow and perpetual darkness.
One afternoon strangers were walk
ing through the yard at Harvard, and
on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, "Christo et Eccle
siae." Not being on speaking terms with
Cicero, Caesar and the other Romans,
this did nothing but to arouse their cu
riosity. Finally they met John.
"I say!" said one of the visitors. "I
see these words everywhere. Can you
tell me what they meanS.!' .
John looked carefully at the Latin in-
sciption, bit his pipe a little harder and
then replied, gravely:
"Oi -xtont-jis knoWi-fr'd,-but-Oi

Some Timber Strength Tests.
It would be difficult to convince the
average man, especially the Missouri
pioneer, that fir is a stronger wood than
oak, but such has been proved by ac
tual tests that were made by a fair and
impartial committee appointed for the
purpose. Tne timbers used were each
2 by 4 inches and I feet long, both ends
solidly braced and the weight applied
in the middle of the span. Yellow fir
stood a strain of 3, 062 pounds, common
Oregon oak 2,922 pounds. Fine grained
yellow fir from near the butt stood a
strain of 3,635 pounds, and best Michi
gan oak snapped with a strain of only
2,428 pounds. These tests were made
