Doctors and lawyers might have

HIS FIRST
Elliott Fi, Shepard’s First Love
-It Was Wholly Innocent,
But It Did Not Last
Yery Long.
“BY ROSE SIIAPLEtGH.”
New York, July 2t.—Now York,
much as it is accustom to journa¬
listic surprises and novelties, has not
so startled for many a year as
by the extraordinary policy of Col.
Elliott F. Shepard in making his
journal, the Mail and Express, a
nomi-rellglons one, and the daily ins
Bertion of a scriptural text over the
editorial column. Col. Shepard rath¬
er prides himself on his consistency,
ns although a large stockholder in the
Fifth avenue line, he strenu¬
ously opposed tho running of tho
vehicles on Sunday, an evidence of
his deep religious feeling and his dis¬
regard of Mammon when Christian
principals arc conccrnad. The fol¬
lowing is a faithful report of n con¬
versation between two ladies that
was overbeared in one of Col Shep
ard’s own stages, which throws a
somewhat new light on his cliarac
tar:
“I should thin!- it would be awful¬
ly nice to ride down on these stages
on Sunday and see tho styles on
Fifth avenue.”
“Yds, but Col Shepard don’t like
to have the stages run on Sunday.
Tie thinks it’s wicked.”
“Col. Shepard—who is lie?”
“He is the president of this stage
line, the son-in-law of Mr. Vander¬
bilt, and tbo pious editor of the Mail
and Express. lie heads all his edi¬
torial pages with a Scriptural text,*’
“Is his name Elliott?”
“Yos.”
“Then I know all about him. You
must listen carefully, for its a great
secret. IIo once loved Alma, our
seamstress!”
‘ Ob, no!"
“But it is true. It was ages ago,
before he knew Mis3 Vanderbilt,
when he was very young, and they
lived out our way, and one wasn’t
any richer or better than tho other.
He used io write her the loveliest
li'tle love letters—so good and inno¬
cent. I know, for I’ve seen them.
Well ho loved and wrote and she
oved and wrote, and theyboth grew
up—alas to part! He came to the
city,-—was famous in his way—mar¬
ried the richest heiress to be found,
experienced religion, and became
editor of a newspaper, and friend,
ihilosoplier and guide of Chaunccy
M* Depew.”
“And she?”
“She married a New Jersey man—
a shiftless fellow, who failed to sup¬
port her or his children, and Alma
had to sew for a living, 'Vben
times were hard she was obliged to
look both ways and all ways to make
the ‘two ends meet.”
“One day, when there was a big
space between thhse same two ends
sbe thought she’d go and see her rich
old old lover and sec if he could help
her.
“I’d like to have seen Col. Shep¬
pard’s face as that demure little
faded-out old woman walked into his
big office. Sbe sent word that a
lady and old triend from his early
borne wished to see him.
“Was he kind, Alma?” 1 asked her
on her return
“Yes. miss, but sort o’ grand like
He looked as if he kind o’ wondered
who I was. So I made a bow and
said, I’m Alma!’
“Alma! Alma! Who?”
“Why your little playmate and
sweet heart. I’ve brought you a let¬
I ter yot. wrote to me when we were
both young and you loved me. See
| M . rc 's your naoMi down to tbe bottom
Elliott F. ibepard. took

road it through, and then ho seemed
puzzled. Finally he said:
“I remember you now. This little
letter is very interesting to me. I
want to take it home and show it .to
Mrs Shepard, She trill be pleased
to see it.,*
“Did you let him have it, Alina?”
“Yes, miss; wasn’t I right, miss?
“I suppose so, but 1 must say it
way cute in him. lie was not anxious
to see his .name, oven in boyish writ¬
ing, in the possession of a poor sew¬
ing woman.”
“What else did he say, Alma?”
“IIo asked if I were married and
happy, and when I said I was unhap¬
py and poor he said he was sony.
He told me very kindly that he’d
liked to have hoard good news from
me. Then he got up, and I got up,
and he showed me to the office door,
and that was all.”
“Did ho «rivc the poor woman any¬
thing?”
“No; not even a pass to ndo lus
stages, and ho forgot to quote the
Bible and toll her; The Lord will
provide. Trust in him!”
“Did she ever got her letter back?”
•‘No; but she has more letters, and
when I get homo I will borrow them
and we will have lots of fun reading
them. We will boo how much
scripture he quoted in his love letters.
We might find them interesting, as
might the former Miss Vanderbilt-”
Here tho stage reached Central
park, and tho two ladies alighted.
ASAD AFFAIR.
George Eddloman, who somo time
ago shot and killed Thos. G. Gres¬
ham, is still in jail at Atlanta. Tho
papers now contain an advertisement
from Mr. Eddlem ui stating that ho

purchasers to come and soe hun.
Monday ho had quite a number of
