Grace Montrose A@a1n--.Her Probable
Insanity.
On Thursday night, the 25th Of June, one
Of the city policemen, while patroling his
beat, observed a young woman On Clark street
whose singular actions induced well founded
euapielon that she medtated mischief lie ap-
preached her, aud discovered that the air was
filled with the fumes Of chloroform, which
tie unfortunate girl had taken to elld an eSs-
teuce which, according to hcr own account,
had become into!erahle. The poor girl was
taken to the armory, and under the c1re Of an
Intelligent physician speedily recovered. Ere
ouent attempts WeTc made to draw from her |
the cause Of her singular conduct, hut to all |
INQUIRIES she gave contradictory and unsatis- |
factory reylics. From conversations had with |
her the conclusion VAS reached that she WAS q
victim Of misplaced confidence in tile inte5rl-
ty of villain who had ruined her, and that to
conceal the impending disgrace she had thus
attempted to end Z miserable existence, After
her recovery she was allowed apartments IN
the Ar1nory, where she remained apparently
4 contentcd until week ago, when she sudden
ly disappcar@, and nothing was heard OF her.
Friday evening" an officer was patrolling his
beat near the Sherman House, when he dis
covered person evidently intoxicated, and
dressed in soldiers apparel, whom, from Pc
= culiarity Of gait, and other circumstances not
4 necessary to be mentioned in this connection,
he suspected to be q female.
4 lie arrested and took her to the Armory,
where she proved to be the woman whose an-
4 tccedcnts arc narrated above. She was locked
= III cell, and on Saturday required to answer
- to the charge Of appearing in apparel unsuited
to her sex. She admitted the charge, but OBJ
stinatcly refused to give any reason for her
conduct. Her parents reside in the neighbor-
III ing State Of Wisconsin, and arc said to be emf
81 ucntly respectable She now says her name is
I'll Adele Mcnza, although she has heretofore
called herself Adele Morrison and Grace Mon
~ t1ose. The city attorney did not press hc'
n conviction, and she was remanded for tht
II present, in the hopes Of learning further o
8$ her history. The most charitable construc
: ton which eau be placed upon her conduct
~ that she is Insane. Measures will prooabl
81 speedily be taken to remove her 10 an asylum
~ or to hcr home.

j1 dcrstalld and appreciate this fact without IL
very philosophical or laborc0 attempt at {
p2ana1ion. Probably at no tiGle in our bu:
ness history has Chicago been afflicted ri
[EsS such scarcity of silver. One may travel
M week with dollar note in his pocket, indul
Ss9 in cigars and other dome tic toliie; to an u
limited extent, and at the close Of the VIC
