f» RR fTFARST’S SUNDAY A MURICAN, ATLANTA, SUNDAY, JULY TO TO SEEK DEATH Beppo Marlino's Heart Is Broken Over Loss of Long Cherished Financee. F acsimile of to ho; distributed at Los An ; ueles convention by Atlanta Klks in campaign to win the ’ I 1!)16 meeting. Massengale Points Out Tremen dous Importance of Campaign of Atlanta Lodge. CHICAGO, July 8 —Beppo Martino, miner and adventurer; will embark soon on his last “prospect.” Some where, In the service of his native Italy, he hopes to face the bullets he prays will end a life no longer de sired. His greatest dream has been shattered, his life’s romance is ended. Nothing matters. His heart is •‘broken," he declare?. The call to the colors following the declaration of war against Austria- Hungary by Italy came at an oppor tune time—for Heppo. In the breasts of the young men crowding the offices of the local Ital ian Consulate burns the fire of pa triotism. They hear nothing but the call of the flag and their King. With Heppo it Is different. With him there Is no enthusiasm, no smiles; not even tears That he Is going to fight for the flag means nothing to hlrn. Behind his grlmpess, his silence, is nothing but despair. He has lost what he warned most in life. He has lost his Rosa. "My Rosa Is dend.” is h1s answer to those who asked of his sorrow. "She could not wait for me she marry an other and Is gone away.” Fourteen years ago Beppo came to America to find the wealth which would enable him to marry the girl of his heart. He was 17 and alive vrlth the hope. From Chicago he drift'd to California. Someone had told him that there was gold left In the moun tains there. In Ban Francisco he met an old prospector. The two became friends and then partners. Up In the moun tains of Trinidad County they tolled under the hot suns always inspired with the gold seekers’ promise of to morrow Five years went by and the *nd of the rainbow was still unfound. From California to Nevada thev w'ent on the fruitless rjue & t from there to Colorado and British Columbia. Five years ago Beppo wrote to his fiancee. He still hoped and asked her to wait. Her reply came that she was sailing soon for America, to live with some cousins. Meanwhile Beppo and his partner tolled. At times It was hard to bear up, but gold Is alluring, even in prospect. There were no more letters between Beppo and his fiancee. They lost track of each other. At last, after fourteen years of toll. Beppo found "pay.” It was In Alaska. There was not a great deal, Just enough for him to sell out his interest for what would seem like a fortune hack home in Italy. He left the northlnnd with his gold and his dream of Rosa Then came the end of the dream. Rosa had married and had gone bark to Italy. She tired of waiting and, being pretty, she had many suitors. She chose one and forgot about Bep po. By ST. ELMO MASSENGALE. Few people realize what a tre mendous significance for Atlanta and Georgia., in fact, the entire South, lies in the effort that the local Klks are making to bring the annual conven tion here in 1916. When the Atlanta delegation bids for thl«* convention In Los Angeles they will be working to bring to Atlanta the greatest conven tion in the world, with its huge gath ering of representative men from ev ery nook and corner of the United StaJes. When the convention last met on the Pacific Coaat. in Portland, 54,000 registered Klks v/ere on hand, and 325,000 visitors thronged the Oregon city. This year the number will be even greater, and 1916 should let'd them all. In the natural course of events, when those 325,000 visitor-® came bark to their homes all over the country, they talked about Portland, J they discussed Its hospitality. Its civ ic worth and its commercial advan tages. Thousands of people thus achieved a first-hand acquaintance with Port land. and they in turn transmitted this Intelligence to thousands of oth ers. until a large percentage of the 100.000.000 people of the United States knew- about the city, generally or spe cifically. Newspapers Helped. The majority of those who did not hear about It in this wav at least at tained some sort of knowledge of thf city through the various lew'Spaper reports of the gain event?* that were recorded each day in fhe press of the country. The amount of general pub- llcit” thus derived Is evidently Jncal- culable. In addition to this, out of that huge assemblage of business men. certain ones necessarily invested their money in Portland enterprises, spent thou sands of dollars there In varied and sundry wavs, and hundreds made connections that either immediately or ultimately brought them to live Portland permanently. It Is a similar tremendous under taking that the Atlanta Klks are pushing to a successful conclusion for Atlanta for every indication is that thev will accomplish it It will bring representatives from ever State and from every town of any Importance In the United States. Already 1.50ft delegates from Washington and Ore gon are planning to charter a pnecial bout an1 come to Atlanta en masse by wav of the Panama Canal and either New Orleans or Savannah. Important to South. Special trainloads of enthusiasts will come from North, South, Fast and West, and will go back imbued with the Inevitable Atlanta spirit, PRODIGY GETS 6 T. C. O'Sullivan, of Tuijiulty’s Staff, Secretly Weds New Jersey G.'rl. which they will disseminate among .their families and friends. So this Is a matter of extreme im portance to the entire South, and es pecially, of course, to Atlanta. It means the maximum amount of pub licity, money, pieirtlge and additional population that can be derived from a convention. Atlanta wants It, and should have it. By past performances along the same lines, she has proven herself eminently capable of taking care of a proposition of such huge proportions, and she can and will do it again. In view of the material advantages trat It will bring, it is to be sincerely hoped that the co-operation of every patriotic citizen will be had in bring ing to a successful conclusion this campaign to make Atlanta the most talked-of city in America, as host of the B.

It | centered around parental opposition to the marriage of Miss Louise Fos ter Lynch, of I^akewood, N. J„ 0 to Thomas C. O'Sullivan, a Princeton graduate, who was appointed to a po sition on the official staff of Joseph P. Tumulty, the secretary to the President, a few months ago. Mr. Tumulty got a telegram from Mr. O’Sullivan to meet him at the T'niqn Station here on the arrival of a certain train. Mr. Tumulty was there and greeted Mr. O’Sullivan as he stepped from a parlor car. With Mr. O’Sullivan was a handsome young lady. "Permit me,” slid Mr. O’Sullivan. “Mrs. O’Sullivan.” And the bride had her first expe rience of riding in a motor car deco rated with the crest of the President of the United States. Mrs. O'Sullivan is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Lynch, of Lake- wood, who are said to be wealthy. She met Mr. O’Sullivan two years ago, when he was an undergraduate at Princeton. It was a case of love at first sight. But Mr. and Mrs. Lynch did not look with favor on the desire of the young people to get married, according to the way the story was told. This was made known plainly to Mr. O’Sullivan, and he and Miss Lynch did not see each other at her home. They kept up a correspond ence, however, and made prepara tions for starting housekeeping. Each bepan to gave for the future. Miss Lynch, who was soon to be Mrs. O'Sullivan, got permission to pay an extended visit to friends in New York. When she took a trunk along It excited no suspicion. From New’ York she telegraphed Mr. O’Sul livan, and he went to New York on the first train available. The mar riage took place there. When Mr. and Mrs. O’Sullivan reached Wanhington they sent a tele gram to Mr. and Mrs. Lynch at Lake- wood informing them of their daugh ter's marriage.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS., July 3.— Harvard’s younges student, Louis Keane, the 15-year-old freshman who but recently donned his first pair of long trousers, now can’t look a post man in the face without blushing. There’s a reason. It's—to tell the sweet-scented truth—mash notes. Since they started to come a few days ago. Louis has received six of them. Three were mailed from the western part of Massachusetts. The others were written by romantic young maids In Georgia, Virginia and Wisconsin. Two of the missives were, accompanied by photographs of the writers. Young Keane, who is the son of Thomas J. Keane, of Dorchester, at tributes this showe rof affectionate missives to a recent publication of a photograph showing him in his first pair of long troupers. The first letter was received at the Keane home several days ago.
