Two Young Chicago Lovers Try to
Travel Hence Together.

CHICAGO, May 31.-In ramshackle
two-story house on Fifty-first street live
two families named Sullivan and Bell.
Last night Nellie Sullivan, a girl of
nineteen years, and John Bell, twenty.
one years old. together took enough
morphine to kill a dozen men. The
other members of the families discov-
cred this fact some hours later, but it
did not seem to agitate them, until they
discovered that the girl was dying.
Then they sent for physician.
He arrived too late to save the girl,
but administered emetics to Bell,
who will recover. The police
are investigating the case and are com
pletely mystified. They cannot find
what prompted the young couple to at
tempt suic lde. They were lovers, and
there was no opposition to their mar
riage. The police have arrested Frank
Gardner, who is believed to be the boy
who procured the drug for the Sullivan
girl. They have also locked up James
Bell. brother of Frank Bell, and An
ME Korker, who lives in the neighbCr-
hood. who will be held as witnesses.
Both the Sullivan and Bell families
have very unsavOry reputation. Their
neglect to summon physician at once
is attributed to stupor or indifference,
superinduced by drink.

Wants Money for a Hospital
Officers Elected.
o The annual election of officers of the
Protestant Orphan asylum occurred
yesterday at the asylum. Marshall ave-
nue. and st. Adams street. The result
was reelection Of the old staff entire,
as follows: President, Mrs. George B.
Young; first vice president, Mrs. G. e.
Skinner; secretary, Mrs. j. w. White;
treasurer, Mrs. S. B. Mcconnell. The
board of directors was elected last
Wednesday, there being but one change,
the substitution of the name of
Mrs. w. B. Evans at the head of the list
for that of Mrs. j. H. Ames who retires.
The remaining names are as follows:
Mesdames E. FL. Bailey, j. B. Beals, C.
III. Bigelow. E. F. Drake, j. W. Edger-
ton. G. G. Field, J. p. Gribben. d. l..
Harbaugh, Il. G. Jones, j. II. Murphy,
E. E. Scribner, d. r. Noyes and Hugh
Miller. Mrs. Young, in speaking gen.
the institution during the past
efficiency of the corps Of nurses.
and those Immediately connected
with the conduct of the institution, its
condition was highly prosperous and
full of promise for the future. 'There
are now," said the president, "ffty-slX
children in the family, fifteen of them
babies in arms. 1t must be understood
that the care of infants is out of our
province, and that we are caring for
these is due to the fact that the found
lings' home Of st. Paul is not inrunning
order, and the poor babies have to
go somewhere. The whole expend-
lures for the year, including
1888, which is supposed to last until
Oct. 1, but arm sure we can't make it
string out that long, for there are SO
many expenses to meet. One of the de-
partments in which we take great deal
OF pride is the school, under the man
agement of Miss Judd, most
efficient teacher, and under whose
rule the department has pros
pered wonderfully. What we need
more than anything else is hospital;
in fact we are positively unsafe with
out one. Children are brought here
from all classes of life. who have been
exposed to disease in all forms. The
danger Of at once placing these in the
same dormltories with our other chill
dren is sufficiently apparent, and the
result of our having done so last week,
on the health certificates issued
by the examining physicians, is
that we now have measles in
the house. We want 5000 for
a hospital. This we could raise easily
enough were we not debarred from Civ
ing fairs or public entertainments of
any sort. We are pledged against that
sort of thing to our regular subscribers.
and our only recourse is to state our
needs, feeling that their lmperativeness
wilt evoke liberal response from those
interested in our work." The annual
reception will be held some time in
June. the date having not yet been
fixed.

THOSE CHEAP RATES.

A good deal of excitement has re-
Gently been produced in Northwestern
railroad circles by the heavy reduction
in through rates between this city and
Chicago, and there has been a CORE
spending feeling of satisfaction among
shippers and the business community
generally. And yet it is serious ques-
ton whether or not there is cause for
public congratulation. 1t is matter of
public notoriety that the Northwestern
ailroads have been having a hard pull
during the last six months to keep their
running expenses within the limits of
their receipts. If they could barely
make both ends meet at the old rates, it
doesn't seem reasonable that they are
going to be benefited by the reduction.
The railroads are so intimately identi-
fed with all the business interests Of
the Northwest that it is utterly impossi-
BILE to separate their interests from our
own. In other words. what affects the
railroads affects the general prosperity
of this section. While cheap rates are
desirable to the business community,
there is no disposition to have them
lower than what could be regarded as
fair living rates for the railroads.
When they get below that point the re
duction becomes public calamity.

Entertain the Glass of 80.
At the high school yesterday after
noon all was preparation and excite
ment among the fair ones of the class of
80, the occasion being reception given
by that class to the class of 'S9. For
several days the corridors of the build
ing have rung with declarations, ETC.,
in rehearsal, and the curiously-inclined
visitor might have found himself Won
dering at the sight of number of nine
teenth century young ladies clad
in costumes of medieval date,
and, grouped in picturesque and
of the hall, While Explanations Of
Aren't they just lovely" ETC., broke
from the lips of. the admiring audience
of sweet girl grads. The programme of
yesterday afternoon showed the result
of careful rehearsal, and was highly
creditable to the members of the class
of 80, who projected the affair
entirely on their own responsibility,
Prof. Gilbert only being notified at
late hour yesterday afternoon that he
was expected to respond to toast of
"Class Friendship" The first thing on
the programme was piano solo by Miss
Flora Nabersberg, which was we'll rem
dered. The browning glory of the en-
tertainment, however, was reached
when Miss Lenora Austin appeared at
all improvised easement and read verses
from Tennyson's famous poem, sDream
of Fair Women" and as the reader
voiced in clear, youthful accents the
poets eulogies of Mary, Queen of Scots;
Cleopatra. Helen of Troy, Fair Rosa
mond and lphige ME, and each character
appeared in turn, robed as were the
beauties they represented, the applause
reached it's height, and was richly
deserved by the little actresses.
Prof. Gilbert responded in a few
well chosen words to the toast
''Class Friendship" Among the other
toasts offered were: "The Glass of S9''
and Rivalry" each meeting with
fitting response. At the conclusion of
the entertainment ample justice was
done to banquet spread in the hall,
after which dancing was INDUCED in,
there being present in the evening up
ward of 200. including many lady and
gentlemen friends of the scholars.
