shocking End Go n career of Sin: a
Wasted Life

KANSAS CITY, May 4. - Mary
Stone, once a beautiful and refined
woman, died in a shanty in "Hell's
Half Acre" several days ago,
unattended except by an old ne
gress, by whom she was buried. DIR.
Curtis found the woman lying upon
a bed made Of rough boards, over
which an old honse blanket was
thrown, while old gunny sacks,
filed with straw, served as pillows.
The woman died of malarial fe-
yer and pneumonia, caused by dis
sipatiOn and want. She was fOr-
merly Miss Mary Livingstone, and
was born at Peekskill, y. Y, in
1854. Her father was Samuel Dob
son, n cousin Of the DobsOns Of Phil
adelphia, the great carpet manufac-
turers. She was reared in luxury,
and when she was a girl was sent
to the Wesleyan University in Con-
necticut.
In 1873 she married Thomas II.
Livingston, young brewer and a
memberof one Of the Oldest and most
respected KnickerbOcker families.
She lived with her husband three
years, when he secured a divorce, 1t
is stated, for Mrs. Livingston's in
timacy with English officers and
members Of the nobility In Paris
and Brussels.
AFTER THE EUROPEAS SCANDAL
her parents discovered herand, with
money furnished by Livingston, she
lived n gay life in New York, Bal
tim0re and Washington. In the
latter place she married DIR. Fletcher,
who had been connected with the
regular army. Mrs. Fletcher went
to Chicago, where she lived nOtOri-
Ously for several years. She then
went to Washington and was an
effective lobbyist, being connected
with the De Golysr pavement bili-
She next ran off with a WHOLESALE
clothing merchant going to San
Francisco, where she was deserted
and left TO shift for herself. She
then took the name Of Stone. In
California she became addicted to
drink and dropped still lower in the
social scale. Her dying words were
a request that her people should
never know her degraded condition.
This was the story told by the
negroes the day after her death. She
was buried in a pauper's grave.

sailor named jordan tried to desert.
He jumped overheard while the
ship was making its way through
the CoOsaw River and attempted 70
swim to the shore, which was more
than n hundred yards distant. a

the man was torn to pieces and
eaten before the boat could reach

Notes of the Day.

The scarcity Of flowers was to be regret
ted.
Business was almost entirely suspended
during the afternoon.
There was very creditable display Of
bunting throughout the city.
The Monument looked very handsome
with its trimming of evergreens and flags.
The way the people swarmed out to the
Park in the afternoon put one IN mind OF
the Fourth Of July.
There seems to be a growing disposition to
make Memorial Day day of rest from bus
mess cares and 10 devote il TO general recre-
alton There was no public demonstration
yesterday, and yet there was very little
buying and selling in the afternoon.
The graves of four or five old soldiers
have been found in the pauper cemetery at
Elm Grove, and the G.. A. X. will attempt
to have the County Commissioners remove
them TO some other cemetery or properly
mark the graves.
The Mark Twain Rod and Gun Club pic
mic on the State Fair Grounds, yesterday,
was great success financially. a very
large crowd was present and the main
amusement was dancing TO Birch's music
In the waltzing contest Annie Whirler took
the gold-handled umbrella.
Wheeling Park was crowded with visit
ors yesterday TO attend the picnic given by
the Wheeling Maennerchor Singing Soci-
ETY., and all spent a pleasant afternoon and
evening. The Opera House orchestra made
music for dancing, and a concert pro-
gramme was also rendered. The affair did
not break up until 10 O'Clock. The Park
was Illuminated with natural gas.
Mrs Simpson, widow of the late Edward
Simpson, sent a handsome floral wreath
