A KITCHEN ROMANCE.
At empted Suicide Of blonde beauty and
HsiFess At Oeonomowoc.

OcoNoMowoc, Aug. l6.-One of
the dining room girls at Draper Hall,
Alice Nixon by name, attempted sui.
eide last Monday night, by the use OF
chloroform. She was discovered in
an unconscious condition by one of
the servants, and the alarm given
DIR. Miller was Immediately called,
and the girls life saved by his ear
nest efforts. The act OF the girl was
perfectly deliberate, and her prepare.
tons betokened confidence that her
suicidal efforts would be successful.
She bad clothed herself in her best
night apparel, and after inhaling a
sufficient quantity of the drug, to ac-
complish her object, as she supposed,
had thrown a handkerchief over her
face, and folded her hands across her
breast, was found thus prepared. She
left note lying on the table,in which.
she stated that she chad no desire to
live any longer. She had home but
no place TO 90 to-" and gave her love
to one "John,n and bid him good bye.
The entire affair IS a singular one
There was no apparent good cause
for The rash act. The girl is . de-
cidedlY good boxing blonde, and
had made herself general favorite
among the guests of Draper Hall by
cheerfulness and willingness to do
her duty, while it has since trans
PRED that she is heircss to about ten
thousand dollars left by her father,
which she viii obtain possession OF
on her attaining majority. Who
"John" is, or what influence be may
have exercised on the would be sui.
eide is shrouded in mystery.

much remembered that there had
been some trouble about that young
.dy once before; that she had got
Achmet Bey into disgrace. He
would see her Highness. When the
story was related to the old lady she
exclaimed in disgust: "Allah! she
can't be married TO the entire army.
Go over and reason with her" So
off went the Kislar Alba, or Captain
Of the girls. with couple OF satellites
armed with sharp switches. They
argued the matter Nth her ladyship
so much so that when her lord re-
appeared she brought him Shippers
and sat at his feet Meantime his
predecessor was speeding southwark,
in doubt as 10 whether it VAS death
or exile that awaited him As he
was an officer OF great promise, he
Goyernor to whom he was consigned
fel. disposed to assist him. SO, being
called off TO distant part OF the
province, he left Achmet Bey as his
deputy. To Achmet's horror he
one day received letter from Cairo,
addressed to the Governor, pointing
out that it was highly desirable that
Achmet Bey should disappear at
once-that he had been guilty of all
manner OF crimes Achmet felt in no
mood 10 assist in his own taking off,
so he replied to his Highness, point
ing out that in the absence of the
Governor, Achmet Bey was doing
duty as Lieutenant Governor, and
that it would be extremely inconve-
nient to execute the orders concern
ing him. He should, therefore, delay
until the return of the Governor or
fresh instructions from Cairo. He
survived, and after twelve years of
exile returned to Cairo. He had
been forgiven and promoted to very
important posts.
Many of the marriages made in
such haste last winter were a source
OF serious discomfort to the men in
volved. Very few of the employees
had received any pay for upward of
year, and were in state of great
want, and to give them several extra
mouths to feed was not quite rea-
sonable method OF alternating their
misery. One of the latest marriages
was that of one of the younger sons
of the Khedive, Mahmoud Bey, to
his cousin. The Princess had some
thing near 100000 a year, but was
twenty-four years of age. Mahmoud
was only sixteen. His elder brother
Ibrahim Pasha, was married to a
younger sister, aged twenty-about
his own age. This marriage was by
proxy. the Prince being in Europe.
Mahmoud complained bitterly of be.
ing married to such an old woman,
the more SO as he is very jealous of
his brother, who has always been a
favorite of their father. 1t is rather
Singular to look at the children in
the order of their age, and then learn
the number of their mothers:
Tewfik Pasha, the reigning Khe-
dive, is the son of the fourth wife.
Tefissen Pasha, the son of slave.
Hassan Pasha, the son of another
slave.
Tewfdha Hanem, the daughter of
the second wife.
TINA Hanem, the daughter of the
second wife.
Ibrahlm Pasha, the son OF the first
wife -
Mahmoud Bey, the son of slave
Tonad Bey, the son of another
slave.
Achmet Bey, the son of another
slave.
Gamiluh and Eminad Hansen,
daughters of slaves.
These are about all the avowed
children. 1t is not to be wondered
at that Turkish families are held to-
gether by very short ties.

A Check Upon Fraud.

Our contemporaries in the mining
districts may do special service to
the mining industry of the country
by a fiat footed exposure of the facts
as they actually are, whatsoever they
may see published here by the Mining
Record, or any other journal, any
favorable notice of a mining enter
prise based upon property, in their
respective vicinities, which may be
known at home as lacking substan-
tial merit, or to be without the de-
velopment or plant claimed for it.
Invariably, when mining property
without genuine value has been put
upon the Eastern market, so soon as
the bubble bursts, the reputation of
the district in which it was located
suffers, and as a consequence really
good mines thereafter from that
quarter, suffer from it and meet little
or no consideration.-N. Y. Mining

Jumped the Town.

James Veltman, house and sign
painter, left town last Tuesday, ieav-
ing several bills urpaid, and was
followed, on Friday, by his wife.
Prior to his departure Vel,man had
disposed of all his household effects,
so that his creditors cannot recover u
cent. For some weeks past he had
been engaged in painting the school.
house, and had Promised to pay up
all his Indebtedness as soon as he re-
ceived the money due him on his
contract. He was paid the money
Tuesday morning, and immediately
disappeared. He is said to have gone
to Bodie. He was formerly lessee of
the race track in Chicago, and was
then reputed to be quite wealthy.
