A ROMANTIC CAREER.
a#

The follOVJng itory tnn life, which
iecidedlj diMMiuti the romance of
Knock Arden, was completely corrobor-
ated la the Weit End but evening:
Tears ago, la the mining town of Po»-
to-Pool, nestling among the mountains
of the coast of Wales, George Poland
ud Mary Davis were married amid
tbe great rejoicings of their many
friends. AH things at tirst conspired
to make their wedded life a happy one,
and as the years passed by children
blessed the r humble home. Poland
had risen and become an engineer at
one of the mines, and Mrs. Poland was
the landlady of a country inn. Po-
land's work necessitated his abscenoe
from home several nights in a week.
A domestic servant led the husband,
after one of his departures, to doubt
his wife's fidelity. His pride being in-
jured, and, being a quick-tempered
man, he npbraidod Mrs. Poland. She
in tarn answered him hastily, and he
in the heat of his passion cast her off.
Bucking out of the house, lie never
raited till on board a steamer bound
for America.
He came to Piltsburg and obtained
wofk in one of the ©oal mines near the
city. There ho workod steadily aud
endeavored to forget the woman of
whom he believed that she li»d wrong-
ed him in far-off Wales. After being
In America a few mouths, he received
a letter from a friend in his old home,
which stated that his wife was ill, and
would never recover.
In 1861 Poland met Mrs. Mary Simp-
son, a widow who kept a boarding
house at Bunksville. and, being in-
formed that his wife wai dead, ho pro-
posed and was accepted by tbe widow
as her husband. They were
QIIETLT MAKRIKD,
Which was not generally known to
their freuda and their married life
passed without serious disturbance un-
t.l 1885, when they were separated in
a romantic way.
One summer day, two years ago, a
taveling little lady walked into the
••Old Stone Tavern" on the Washing-
ton pike, and, with a pronounced
Welsh accent, asked where George
Poland resided. The proprietor jok-
icglj asked her if she was his wife.
She replied with such seriousness that
the host determined to send for Po-
land. as he was a particular friend of
his. The long-separated couple met in
the dining-room of the hotel, where
the proprietor left them to tell their
stories.
Mrs. Poland then explfyned that aft-
er a few years of toil and struggle
without success, she determined to
come to America and find Iter husband.
Dr.fting to Wilkesbaire, Penn., her
sons obtained work in the mines and
were doing welL Of Poland she heard
nothintr nntil two years ago, when a
family moved from Pittsburg to Wil-
li osbnrre, and told the woman where
her husband was. She came on to this
city and found him married to another
woman. He had little to s:iv, but she
determined to leave h m to enjoy his
second wedded experience, and in his
company returned to Wilkesbarre.
POL AUD CAME BACK
To this city, but did not live with tho
eccond wife, who soon afterward fell ill
and died, it is said, from the result of
brooding over tho great crime she
thought she had committed. Poland
boarded with one of the two children
of his second wife, but later he turnish-
a house of his own, and had his
dough tor keep house for him until
several weeks ago, when she >ft !i m.
Deserted by his former fnen is. old
and partially blind from the result of
an accident, he, upon the advice of a
friend wrote to his first wife, begged
her forgiveness for the wrong he hail
done her and pleaded with her to come
back to him. She consented, and ar-
rived in town last Tuesday.
The old couple (Poland being now
over seventy years of a?e, and Mrs.
Poland a few years younger) were seen
last evening wending their way to a
grocery store to lay in a stock of pro-
visions as happy as any young married
couple Jnst begining life together.
Letter Writing.
It is astonishing to notice how plain
all stationery has become. The world
woukl seem to indicate stability, but
there is nothing so littlo stationary as
Stationery. Not ten years ago every
lady had her monogram and her crest
on her paper, or a motto, or her initials
infac simile put in one corner in a dash
of red or blue or purple. Now she has
to find something ragged-edged And
plain if she wishes her note to be in tbe
fashion.
Handwriting has grown large and
bold; the minute Italian hand seems
to have passed out of dato. Women
particularly aim at a noble, broad,
sweeping English hand. Thick paper
and square envelopes, plain white,
•olid and strong, with a wax seal—
these are the best and most fashion-
able styles, although on the table of a
fashionable lady may still be seen let-
ter paper and envelopes of the dainti-
iest and tiniest size, edged with gold
or silver, or a tmt on the edge, and
with seals in white wax. Every one
of these fashions of the past has its
lopporters, except the fancy-colored
Inks. They have all gone out, which
Is a pity, for there was a preparation

to the ink-stand, very much to be com -

That wickedness sometimes prospen
is evidenced, says The New York World,
by the rather romantic career within
the last few months of Charlts W.
Banks, formerly of Albany, this state,
later of San Francisco, Cal.. and now
elevated bv tLe power of love to the
throne of king of Cook's Island, in th«
South Pacific ocean. A history of Mr.
Banks' 1 fc in Albany would add sc
little interest to his later life that it it
unnecersary to refer to it now, except
to state that in that rolliogtown h<
married a very interest ng young lady,
for whom, accord ng to his latest lettei
to friends in this citv, he still enter-
tains the most touching affection. It
is hardly necessary to say that the lady
in question, Mrs. Fanny A. Banks, who
is now in this city, places so little faith
in these assurances of unbounded iove
that she has begun a divorce suit, and
charges his kingship with desertion
and Infidelity.
Soon after the marr'age of the couple
they journeyed to San Francisco, where
Mr. Banks, being intelligent and brijrlit
as well as a handsome young man, ob-
tained employment in the express office
of Wells, Fargo & Co. There he pros-
pered, prospered too well for his per-
sonal good; for, having obtained a
position of trust, and gained the entire
confidence of his employers, he sudden-
ly disappeared s x months ago, carry-
ing with hitn over J.W.OOO belonging to
the company. His many friends at the
Golden gate mourned his departure for
he was a good fellow, reckless with his
money, an interesting talker, and a
good story-teller, while b s little sup-
pers at home and at his club were the
talk of society for days after each
event. Mrs. Banks, too, mourned his
loss, but her reasons were widely diffe-
rent, and she came to this city after
gathering enough evidence in San Fran-
cisco to prove to her that her husband
had not been all that she had expected.
Consulting the law tirm of Messrs.
Johnes, Benuer & Willcox here, the
papers for a divorce were properly
drawn up, but pending information ns
to the whereabouts of her recreant hus-
band, she withheld proceed.ugs.
Meanwhile, Wells, Fafgo & Co. had
sent detectives after the defaulter, who
tracked him to Tahiti, Sandwich islands,
but the wily young man lied in a
schooncr a few hours before the sleuth-
hounds of tho law reached there. From
this point the gay defaulter's move-
ments much resemble those of Billy
Kid, the illustrious hero whom Kosina
Yokes sings about in her clever song
"His Art was True to Poll." Like
Billy Kid, Mr. Banks
Landed on a strange shoio and looked out for an fan

And !n a palac* loll.
Or I'll eat you like a rtlerj*o he ga\ e li « hand, Ci*
Billy,
But his 'art was true t » Poll.
Mr Banks was certainly in luck. He
had sailed away front Tahiti for a
point anywhere out of the grasp of tho
law, and favor.ng iralcs ha<l directed
his craft to the shores of ltaretonga.
Cook's island, iu the South Paeilic,
where tho beaut fill but dusky Queen
Ulakea (Ulakea in English, but some-
thing else in her own picturesque
language) reigned quietly and kindly
over her loving tribe. She is a widow,
but ceased abruptly to grieve for her
departed lord when the handsome face
and manly bearing and tigurc of Mr.
Banks loomed up before her in her
quiet luxurious home. He was a
v andcrer, weary and forlorn, and she
a widow, s;id and lonely, but w th lots
of this world's goods anil a large heart,
which she unhesitatingly threw at his
feot. Her kindness won him, coupled
with his own Yankee ingenu ty, which
told him that lie had struck it rich, to
use an Americanism, and he availed
himself of the fortunate opportunity
equally as unhesitatingly as it had been
opened to him.
There at Raretonga, safe from the
law's strong grasp where the climate
i9 glorious and warm all tho year round,
Banks is now living, duly domesticated
and acknowledged as king, and re-
ceiving the homage of the people, who
adore him because their beloved queen
has set them the example. The de-
tectives who found him there say he ex-
presses no desire to return to his na-
tive country, but seems satisfied to
continue his life of idleness and power.
Mrs. Banks has heard of her husband's
fortune and has decided to begin di-
vorce proceedings at once. Her coun-
sel, Edward R. Johnes, appeared be-
fore Judge Lawrence in the supreme
court chambers yesterday and obtained
an order for the publication of a sum
mons in the suit, a copy of which will
be mailed to King Banks 1. at b's
palace at Raretonga. Although Mrs.
Banks had sufficient evidence to secure
a divorce without reference to her hus-
band's present position, the detectives
who have traced Mr. Banks and dis-
covered his new mode of life will make
affidavits which will be used in the suit
in order to show the man's utter un-
worthiness. Wells, Fargo & Co. have
not given up hope of bringing Banks
to justice, or of obtaining from him the
money he embezzled. Banks' fl ght at
the time of the discovery of b:s theft
ereated a sensation. The publication
of bis subsequent movements will prob-
ably prove a greater surprise to the
many society people of both San Fran-
cisco and this city who know him and
his wife.
