A short time ago, says the Pittsburg
Commercial, a commercial traveller, well
known In business circles here AS the
representative Of one Of the largest
houses In New York, arrived in this city
from the West, accompanied by beau
tiful woman. The pair took rooms AZ
one Of our hotels, the "drummer' rep-
resenting that the woman was his wife.
After remaining at the hotel for about
ten dayA the traveller appeared in the
Office one morning and paid his bill.
stating that he was going 10 another
city. and that his wife would remain I'M
Ill his return. He said he thought he
would be absent only two or three DAYS.
and requested the clerk To look after his
wife, and see that she received proper
attention az the hands Of the servants
during his absence. He then departed,
taking all his baggage. and, although
some three weeks have elapsed, has no.
since been heard from. The Young
woman was quite contented for three or
four days, but afterwards grew melan-
choly, and during the remainder II her
stay AT the hotel she appeared 10 be in
deep distress On Monday Of last week
she disappeared. and nothing Is vet
known NJ the hotel concerning her
whereabouts. A casual visit 10 the
rooms of the Humane Society BY re-
porter Of this paper yesterday resulted
IN his obtaining possession Of facts
which enable him To give the poor girls
story Of her ruin by an INSCRIPTIONS
villain. II appears that when the Girl
left the hotel she called on Superin-
tendent Street and made statement
10 that gentleman Of her unfortunate
condition. She said she was a teacher
in one Of the schools of Burlington.

lington about the lst Of September and
marry her; that he did rcuIrn accord
ing t. his promise, and. on some pre-
text, persuaded her to accompany him
"a this city before the marriage was con
summated; that on their way here he
accomplished her ruin under the sol
emn promise that he would make her
his wife as soon as they arrived in Pitts
burg-a promise, IL Is needless 70 say,
he never fulfilled Mr.. Street. after
hearing the sad story Of the unforiun-
ate girl, took her To the Office Of the
fittsburg. Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad Company. where. upon stating
that she was penniless and ia strange
land, he succeeded in obtaining for her
transportation 10 Burlington. Yesier-
day Mr.. ;. received letter from the
girl, i'm which she told him that her

Miss Mary Anderson's debut as
Eradne at Philadelphia was entirely
successful. The Philadelphia Times
says Of her: Her peril l. in her good
face and sweet, womanly charms, which
50 often invite the flatlery that makes
actresses favorites for time despite
palpable defects which the patient and
conscientious artist would overcome.
Ii She were a. homely a. Charlotte Cush-
man she would become great Alto
gcther She gave abundant evidence Of
genius, of fair training for one ~ her
years. Of rare fitness for the rendition ~
some u the most difficult features Of
tragedy, and if her professional lie shall
not prove an eminent success, IL must
be because she fails 10 be faithful 70 her
sell and u her cxacting calling"
