v'i "Old Ripley" was another Staten Island
waterfront man with a history and a for
tune. 'He had the blue' blood, besides, for
he . was descended ' from one of the old
Huguenot families that" settled on the
island in. the young years of America
a ffljnHyof noble lineage.
He was the last of his family, because,
he said, "love of the water keeps me
from all other Joves." But it is told On
the Island by those who- knew "Old
Ripley"- that his love of the water was
inspired by an unconquerable desire to
be near the place where the betrothed of
his young manhood lost her life while
attempting to cross the Arthur Kill dur
ing a squall.
; From that day "Old Ripley" neglected
his business in New Tork and took to
hanging around the wharf of the little
suburb Where his fiancee had embarked
to her death. His friends, unable to make
htm forget, desisted after, awhile, , and
then "Old Ripley" swiftly sank to the
level la which he stayed for nearly 30
years. -.; ' ,
He did odd Jobs to keep body and sonl
together, but always near the water. He
There Is a river man In Pittsburg who

lotted SDan of years to be drowned In

win not. cannot, dta any other way. His
reason for a la belief' he states in a mat
ter-of-fact way:
"The men of my family have been
river men ever since they settled here In
the latter nart of the 1Mb century.
They've air loved ths water; they've all
lived by It, and they've all died in it.
"My great-grandfather and one of his
sons sank with a raft off Cincinnati. My
grandfather was drowned, along with his
wife and two daughters, la an explosion
oil the Monongahela, as the boat was
about entering the Ohio.
"I saw my father knocked senseless
off a coal barge during a fight, and he
never rose above the Ohio's surface.
Three years Ago my brother and a cousin
were capsized during a storm a piece
down the river, and their bodies were
found a week later.
New; I'm - only one of my family
left, and 4he Ohio Is waiting for me. It
will get me some day lust as sure as i m
talking to. you; and then, maybe. It'll be
contented.1
"Why don't I leave the river? I can t.
It's got Its hold on ma And what good
would it do if I did try something else?
I'd come back to the river some .day. be
cause I couldn't stay away, and then i a
be no better off.'
'No; the river Is bound to taice me
when it wants ma it knows that, and I
know It. .But I'm not letting that spoil
my good times.

The averaas longshoreman is not re
garded as k man who would have mucn
romance in his Ufa but a certain long
shoreman in Philadelphia has had varied
adventures an over tne worm.
Bv his own admissions he has served
In tha British Army, has seen fighting in
South American revolutions, has cam-
nairned with the French in Africa, and
knows something of German army life.
His statements are backed up by his
knowledge of foreign military manners
and his -ability to speak nail a aoien
languages. And two long scars that
disfigure-Ms face, -and look ss If they
were mads bf swords, furnish further
evidence of ths good faith of his words.
Though a longshoreman, witn a aany
wan 'of something under tz, he Uvea,
not IK one of the waterfront, boarding
houses that his fellow workers haunt,
butln a,secondrata hotel in the cen
tral part of the city, where the rates for
rooms alone equal his earnings. He has
been .stajtnr there for 10 years, and
whenever he pays his bill It is by check.
The first time that he offered a check It
was Dolltelr .refused. . .
"If yon are afraid of It," smiled the
man. "Just call up the Ban ana asK
them about me.'-' - . .
. The clerk did so, and this was the re
ply he got: v '
Certainly, It's all right He's good
for many- timet that sum any day."
But who the man Is, or where he has
made his money, or why he persists in
working as a longshoreman, no one can
satisfactorily aay. Those who knew as
much as this of his history believe him
to be an Englishman, with blooded fam
ily ties. But that is only guess work, as
are also ' their conjecture about his
wealth.' -1. f. ,- .
And for bis .apparent -relish for the
rough work of a longshoreman they have
no explanation except that which the
man himself gives: ..

on it" t , .

itnw did ' rich neoDle' marry In your
time?" asked a youngwoman of a stately
woman who is a grandmotner, wno, uh
herself was a guest at a recent notea
wedding. Aild the grandmother, who
comes from Virglnla,'told this tory:
Your grandfather was tne ' rtcnes.
young man in the county, and I had a
fortune of roy own. The day of our mar
riage he came on horseback to my home.
He was attended by his young irienas.
Each of whom rode a white horse. They
wore high white hats, whits silk knee
breeches and white silk hosiery. Their
hiwi mmr adorned with greet -buckles.
They came up the long lane.vnicn lea
to the great lawn lh front of my home
and their coming was quite iwe a
Daaeant This cavalcade was followed
by a large number of slaves, the property
of your grandfather. . They were also
mounted; there wss one slave for each of
vnnr rrandftither's friends.
When vour grandfather reached the
entrance to the lawn he dismounted and
was met by my father. As each attend
ant dismounted he was presentea oy
your grandfather to my father, ana tne
procession moved up the great walk to
the wide Dortlco of our home. - There
they were seated and served with such
refreshments ss all Southern gentlemen
dispense to their guests.
"Their attendants were conducted 'to
various apartments to make ready for
the event of the day. When your grand
father had been cared for by his special
servant he descended Into the great fam
11 y room and paid bis most distinguished
respects to my mother, who, at that mo
ment, both by reason of her stateliness
and splendor would have been a notice
able personable at any court function.
"After this brief Interview my mother
withdrew and came to me In my cham
ber. She was accompanied by my father.
i hey bestowed upon me their most affec.
tlonate attention. Then the minister,
the bishop of the state; came In and laid
his hands upon me as be had done when
I was confirmed ,by him," and as I knelt
before him he gave, me his blessing.
"My bridesmaids were then admitted
and after each had kissed my hand all
withdrew. ' My brothers and sisters then
came in and we had a little reunion.
Then came my maid, my old black mam
my and her ' husband, the latter a ven
erable hostler.
They bowed before roe, as slaves In
those days were accustomed to do' be
fore white people, and in leaving me
those dear old black people wept as if
thev never 'expected to see me again.
Then came the other slaves of the planta- '
tlon In couples In genuflexion. The dis
carded wardrobes of the family Were seen
In that procession.
"Then I was left alone for a few
minutes all alone. In that time I bowed
devoutly,' and In that attitude my father
came in and found me. I arose and he
conducted me to the great salon below.
The ceremony or my marriage- was
much the same as that observed, today,
Our church has not deviated from Its
ceremonials in such ..affairs, however it
may have been tempted to change some
of Its rubrics.
"A wedding breakfast followed. There
was no music before or after the cere'
monial. After the breakfast I was con
ducted to my mother's old family room
and there under her direction my wed
ding gown was changed to a riding
habit
As I passed out your grandfather met
me and conducted me to the old stile
block at the entrance of the lawn. It
was covered with honeysuckle. Beside it
stood the most beautiful animal . that
money and a thorough knowledge of
blooded stock could procure.'
The saddle was of -white silk; the
outfit was enpni'lsoned fit for a queen.
My black mammy s old husband wss
the hostler. I do not know which seemed
to be the proudest, that old slave or the
beautiful horse-which awaited ray com
ing. ' -"The

your grandfather. That Journey came as
.near being triumphal fca any of which 1

along the course. The, road was lined
by slaves, most of whom were dressed

me In the courtliest manner up a path
literally covered with flowers to the
lintel of his house, which had welcomed
other brides for several generations. , At
the entrance of the house your grand
father handed me the keys to the same.
"After a rest from the Journey I was
prepared for the banquet. None I have
seen equalled It. What a splendid recol
lection it is! The dance which followed
no one ever attempted to describe. The
flower and chivalry of the Old Dominion
were there. The plantation was a great.
swelling volume or melody. I never
knew when It ceased. ,,.
'The next .day a glorious one there
was a fox chase. A dinner followed which
lasted far into the night. And again
the plantation was enwrapped by-melody
suon as one nears no where ejse on this

"The day after there was a reception to
my father and mother and both brothers

the route of the bridal ' party. . At the
close of ths week there was a gathering
of the lavaof both plantations, songs
in the" cabins, -walks about the grounds
