How the Tilden Engagement Story was
Started.

ST. Louis has enjoyed society sensation OF
no mean magnitude the past week. Ladies'
representing the first circles were in one of
their periodical fiutters over a grand charitable
entertainment, the principal feature Of which
was the production of ''The Mistletoe Bough."
These ladies had shown great ingenuity in in
teresting the public through the newspapers in
their performance, and on the day before the
opening brought into use their brightest strata
gem. The society reporter of q morning paper
was sent for, and was given to understand that
local beauty, Miss Nellie Haseltne, who was
to sustain the principal role. that of the bride
in "The Mistletoe Bough" had become the be-
trothed of Samuel j. Tildeu, and he might an
nounce it if he pleased. The deceived reporter
did announce it in good faith, with no end of
foe adjectives, and, what is more, he gave
away the item to the agent Of the A ssociated
Press, and it was sent forth to vex the soul Of
the old gentleman at Grsmercy. The morDing
that the item appeated an intimation was CON-
veyed to society reporter of an evening paper
that Miss Hsseltine wished to see him, and he
hurried off to the West end and found an inter-
view already in shape. Miss Hsseltins not
only denied the engagement, but said she had
never met MIR. Tilden, and then srtfully in
troduced magnificent puff for ''rhe Mste-
toe B0ugh performance, and told of the part
she was to take in the presentation of the
drama. The stratagem of the ladies worked
successfully, save that none Of them had taken
inio account the possibility of the society item
being telegraphed. or of il going beyond Sc.
Louis readers. The denial, however, came
very promptly next day from New York, and
said that ''Mr. riden was not acquainted with
aoy such lady" Tue society reporter who had
spread the news abroad, was naturally very
Indignant, and 10 self defense let out the source

THERE is enough talk among the Demo-
Gratis, says the Washington correspondent of
the Boston Advertiser, to indicate that they
have in mind to raise the question of the
VALIDITY of the October elections in Iowa in
case it becomes necessary to their plan of
controlling the State delegations, to exclude
the delegation from thai State upon the or
ganzaton of the next house Of Congress.
THIS question seems to be one considered
solely in reference to the vote of States iu the
House since they feel confident Of having a
good working majority of that body; but if
the November elections should result, by
counting Iowa, in majority of one of the
State delegations, the Democrats will certain
ly give serious attention to the proposition to
throw the case Of the entire Iowa delegation
into the committee of elections, where it
could be held as long as the plans of the par
ty in connection with the next electoral count
might make it necessary. Among Republi-
cans the opinion OF Secretary McCrary, who
is probably the best authority 10 the United
States upon contested election cases, is held
to be conclusive of the validity of the Octo-
ber election.
