Loves LABOR LosT.-Last week AIDE
fide Nelson played Juliet in Deacon Rich
ard Smiths city. Sunday night she took
passage on the steamer BostoIa, Capt.
Bryon, for the White Sulphur Springs.
She was accompanied by her maid and her
leading man, Mr.. Compton,. Compton was
very attentive to Miss Nelson, and the
love passages that passed between the two as
they promenaded the hurricane deck excited
universal comment. After supper the pair
disappeared, and were not again seen until
the boat reached Ripley, and complaint
was then made to the captain that Romeo
and Juliet were together in the %latter's state
room. T%hereupon the captain, accompa-
MED by his chief clerk and burly mate, star
ted on a tour OF investigation. Repeated
knocking on the door of Nelson's state
room caused it to open, and the scene that
was disclosed drew from the indignant cap.
tain the query, ''Wbat are you doing here?'
''Rehearsing our parts" blushingly rejoin-
ed juliet. Il want nothing of this kind on
my boat" thundered the captain. I'VE
were doing nothing wrong" pleaded AIDE
laide. 1T don't make any difference; l
want it stopped, or | will run my boat
ashore and put you both off. Compton
promised to go to his stateroom, and there
the matter ended.
CINCINNATI, April 15.-Adelaide Nelson,
in a letter, explains the affair on the steam
er Bostona, of which the papers have en-
deavored to create a scandal. She says
while on the steamer the passengers stared
at her so in the cabin that it was uncomfor-
table to remain. She then invited Mr..
Compton to her stateroom, where they were
rehearsing the prison scene in Measure for
Measure" preparatory to presenting it in
Boston for the first time this season. The
clerk of the steamer knocked at the door,
called Mr.. Compton and informed him that
he was violating the rules of the boat in Wis
ling a lady in her stateroom. The captain
sustained the clerk, and Mr.. Compton, and
Miss Nelson went on deck indignant at the
Interference.
