New YORK, May 1S.-Mme. Won Sucrow,
whose matrimonial experiences with a
make believe nobleman have been tele-
graphed to the Examiner, arrived yester-
day on the Saale, alone and unsuccessful.
This ends the second chapter of this Ameri-
can girls sad romance.
| Nine Won Sucrow is a most attractive
young woman, being not more than thirty.
with auburn hair, good complexion, big
brown honest eyes, aided by eyeglasses; a
pretty, small mouth, with flashing white
teeth, and as bright a smile as one would
wish to see. In figure she is neither
maternal nor girlish, but very shapely. She
was dressed yesterday in dark plaided
cloth gown, brown jacket, black velvet
turban, with the soft suede gloves and neat
shoes of refined woman. Hervoice is low
and sweet and modulated to degree.
sit is but just to myself and my friends.
| think" she said that l should correct
some statements which have been made II
grieves me ineXpressibly that my folly
should have put my friends in such a posi-
ton of nOtOriety. But it is better that the
truth be told simply, at once and for all.
Il was, as you know, Miss Constable
Baltimore was my home, and there my par
ents died. They left me little money, it
is true, but that spent upon my voice. l
had hoped to do great deal for myself with
my voice, but l have always suffered from
the fact that | was unable to read music at
sight. The connections of my family still
live in Baltimore, but they are not as
wealthy as has been suggested.
1.-THE first thing which Baltimore people
have apcuSaG -Of I is pppantrsipi+7.
So far as that sort of thing is concerned, .
don't believe | ever did an eccentric thing
in my life. No ones life could have been
more bounded by COnventionality than
mine, and at the same time have been that
of a girl away from her fathers house.
when left home to commence my stud
les l was not alone as has been stated. l
had with me always, in the first
place, middle aged person as maid, and
also young lady who belonged to as good
a family as there is in New York. Again,
when first met Won Sucrow, it was not in
a small Italian boarding house. 1t was in
the house of some connections of mine;
cousins of my cousin; in fact, on Madison
avenue.
''VOn SuCrow came to Us with letters of
introduction. He is q charming man; the
sort of man, in fact, whom every woman
admires. The result of our meeting was
pure, simple love match. He is not a hand
some man, but he is every inch a soldier,
with as fine a figure as I ever saw in my
life.
II was proud of him as a brave. soldier,
but never took the name of baroness upon
myself. | know too well how little it
means, either for myself or man of family
No matter what any one might say, I did
not marry him for title, nor did he marry
me for money. l told him plainly before
We were married that | had none; that l
had no expectations I have been betrayed
in ways enough. l cannot believe that 1
was married on bare suspicion of having
money.
LAS for the marriage being either sudden
or private, it was not so. My family was
not only notified, but the marriage took
place in Baltimore in St. Paurs church,
only after every member of my family had
met the man was to marry and had fully
approved of the match.
1T is true that now found that my hus-
band was poor, but many woman has
married a poor man and welcomed every
privatiOn. So it is with me. | knew that
my husband was crazy about an island in
the southern seas and | myself took to
three competent jewellers rough diamonds
which he had. They each said they were
genuine brilliants, but a trife off color.
They were afterwards pawned. but never
knew of the letters said to have been writ
ten to the Baltimore american in regard TO
the expedition. Had I known it, l should
naver, of course, have permitted it. 1 knew
my husband was embarrassed for money.
I know now that what he told me Of him
self was untrue, cut l do not believe he
willfully deserted me. I believe he was
fond of me.
''This was the way ne went. Everything
almost had been sold. Then one day, in
gay spirits, he went away. He left me
some money. He left me, too, note say
ing that he had not deserted me. He had
gone in that way without saying good bye
because he knew how disappointed 1 would
be; that / should beg to go also. In month
he said he would send me money, and that
as soon as possible he should return. Fool
ish woman that 1 was, 1 could not wait. I
followed him on the Gallia, thinking to
overtake him. Iarrived in London. There
l sought to trace him, but without avail.
Then I applied to Henry White, of the
American legation. l was bewildered.
Il could hear nothing of my husband. 1
was without money. Mr.. White was very
kind. He advanced me money, which, of
course, will be Immediately repaid. He
sought to find any trace of Major Won
Sucrow He learned nothing save what I
had learned for myself; that is, that for
some reason, best known to himself, my
husband married me under an assumed
name. He was not, though am perfectly
confident, married before. That leaves me
as much as ever his lawful wife,
In the telling of this pitiful tale of IN
bounded faith that no shock could break,
she showed a spirit too thoroughly proud
and truly American to admit of any such
word as desertion.
Nine. Won Sucrow was frankness itself
With corrections of some statements made
by over jealous friends, however, the in
terview ended. II go at once" the pretty
woman said, with grave dignity, ''to my
friends. will place myself in their hands.
What will do; what they will do, remains
to be seen. lean only say will bear the
name 1 now bear for the shortest possible
time To the extent to which the wiping
out of that name will put a stop to this
scandal, to just that extent you viii lind 1t
