Such lease, repIete In all that goes 10
make romance of the day, developed
| itself the past week to tho Interested
senses of a reporter. Two weeks before
the close of the exposition n modest
looking though richly dressed young
lady arrived In this city alone and took
ooms at one of the leading hotels,
where she registered as Miss MARY
Cowoll, from Little Rock, Arkansas.
She remained there perhaps three days,
when she suddenly lett, stating she
would send tor her baggage, which she
did n day or two after, aud nothing
more was seen or thought of her.
just before the close of the exposition
an excursion was run from Little Rock
10 tins city, bringing perhaps 200 peo-
pie. In the party were number of
young men, and of course they deter
mined to sse the sights. They took In
he town on the Saturday night Oh
which the exposition closed, and
| in tho course of their !ambles
visited number Of tho more
aristocratic places of stn, among them
that OF Grace Lewis, on Ninth street.
Here the party of young bln"ds gave
things sanSuinary hue, and cham
pagne and bottled beer flowed with its
pruverbial ireeness. Just before the
party prepared to leave a young woman
who had been out started 10 enter the
room. She stopped in the door and
looked around, then with startled eX
clanalion turned and ran out again.
There had been a mutual recognition.
The woman exclaimed "My God!" and
ran up stairs. The man, picking up his
hat, lett the room without II word tn his
friends. No ordinations, recrimIna-
tons or explanations ,oOk place.
The next morning when the party of
young men started home one of their
nuhiber was missing.
The sequel is soon told. The woman
was the same who had registered at the
hotel as Miss Mary Cowell, LitIle Rock.
She be longed To highly respectable
family of that city, and had left ostensi-
bly, 10 visit relatives in Memphis, but
atterward concluded To come on TO this
city, where, in sudden fit OF despond
ency, she entered this house Of prostitu-
zion. The man she recognized she was
engaged to marry. When ne left the
house he went to a saloon and did not
leave the counter until he had imbibed
enough to make him beastly drunk.
lie has continued in that same condi
ton ever since, and to-day is only the
wreck of once promising young man.
He will never return to Little Rock, and
at his present downward gait, will fill n
panper's grave in six months.
This is one case where the easy down
fall of woman has proven the ruin of
tho observation-disclosures.
