COrdelia Wade Dead.

Every one in this city has heard more or
less of that notorious woman, Cordelia
Wade, who died day before yesterday of con-
sumption, at the age of forty-five. Her ar
rests were frequent and her attempts at sui
eide almost countless. When she was ar
rested she always had hidden on her person
a bottle of morphine, and the District Ply
sician was always on hand with his stomach
pump to save her life
Her parents were respectable people, but
when quite young she was led astray. She
had been married, but her husband left her
When in a humor for it Cordelia could
dress, act and speak like well-bred woman.
She was one of those more sinned against
than SHINING. Since she fell sick she has
lived with her mother, at No. 1856 West
Court street, where she died.
