An Onanooes Beauty, Tired of Home,

An Onanoock Beauty, Tired of Home,
Assumes Mans Garb and Starts Out In
the World.
ONANcocK, VA, Oct. 25.-Nearly a
month ago there disappeared from her
aunt's home, in the little village of
Hornstown, Miss Lillian Otwell,a pretty
miss of IS, who was always popular
with the villagers.
A search was at once instituted, but
no clue was found to her whereabouts.
A she had for some time manifested
tendency toward melancholia, and fire..
quently expressed wish that she were
dead, it was concluded that she had
committed suicide. The family had Just
received word that she is safely housed
at the home of an employee of the New
York, Philadelphia Il Norfolk railroad
near Marydel, town on the line he
tween Maryland and Delaware and
about 80 miles from lIornstown.
A trackman few nights ago stumbled
upon what appeared to be a slender boy
exhausted by long and weary tramp.
The section master took him to his
home, and his wife Immediately made
the discovery that the supposed boy was
a girl in boys clothes.
After being refreshed she was made to
but on feminine garb, but begged so
hard to be allowed to stay, that she was
kept there. Before leaving her aunt's
Miss Orwell had cut of her beautiful
long hair and put on the boys clothing.
Her home was comfortable one and
she was always treated with the utmost
kindness by her aunt. 1t is believed
that her mind is slightly unbalanced.

ROLL-CALL or WHITE CAPS.
Sensation At a Meeting in Council Bluffs
1.-The speaker Hissid md .Ieered

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA, Oct. 26.-There
were sensational and exciting scenes at
the Broadway theatre in this city yester-
day afternoon which were brought
about by a meeting held under the direc-
ton OF the leading members of the
Catholic Church of this city for the
purpose of making public the names of
the members of the American Protec-
ton Association, the members of which
organization are by the Catholics called
"White Caps"
During the last week Father Chanioui.
who was formerly Catholic priest, but
which religion he renounced about 80
years ago, gave series of lectures
against Catholicism and vigorously de-
nounced the church and its doctrines in
general, and the priesthood in particular.
He was greeted with crowded houses
nightly.
These lectures were given under the
auspices of the alleged "White Cap" or
ganization and it IS claimed that one
night while the secretary, William L.
kinsell, was in attendance at one of
these meetings his house was robbed
and copy of the list of members and
the oaths Of membership and declar-
tons of principles stolen. Whether the
story Of the alleged burglary is true or
not the list of members and other papers
were obtained and made public in an
open meeting held yesterday afternoon.
When it was announced that this
would be done there was considerable
Of sensation, and as consequence the
Broadway Theatre was crowded. Those
who were members of the so-called
white caps evidently came prepared to
raise disturbance and when the secre-
tary attempted to read the oaths
OF membership and the declaration
Of principles they attempted to hiss
him down. Those having the
meeting in charge finally succeeded in
making public all they intended. When
the list of names was read over, 800 in
all, il caused quite sensation. Among
the members were found a number Of
city officials, a member of the board of
and many prominent business
and professional men.

CHICAGO, Oct. ga dispatch from
unmors, N. D., states; "a coulter just
in from the Blood Indian reservation,
the scene of the recent disturbance, re-
ports everything quiet. The first news
sent out from Fort Assipaboine, Mont,
was exaggerated. One Indian killed
and one policeman wounded is the
result of the Thursday rioting. A band
of Indians were seen by detachment of
policemen making off with some por-
tions of cattle they had slaughtered. On
being discovered one of the Indians shot
at the police, slightly wounding Police
man, Ryan. The police returned the
fire, killing the Indian. The chief of
the tribe and most of the Indians APP
proved of the killing. No further
trouble is anticipated.

TRIED DIpoRCE IN DELAWARE.
The Celebrated Bolton Case Was Before
Our General Assembly.

A Dover special says: Legal proceed
ings are shortly to be begun against
William @. Bolton, president Of the
Bolton Drug Company, of New York,
whose Dakota divorce and remarriage is
creating such stirin New York. Bolton
came before the divorce committee on
April LIST last, and asked for divorce
from his wife, Charlotte Louise Bolton,
on the ground of desertion.
In his testimony he said he was mar
ried on February 10Th, 1876, and that
his wife had left him in 1886 but came
back AZ intervals just toget what money
she could from him. She had no prop
erty when he married her and he him
self was poor man working for $40 a
week. When he began to make money
he opened mutual bank account, allow
inc his wife to draw as she pleased, and
She drew with such extravaganza that
the account soon ran out. She then left
him, and in order to get her to return
he gave her some four or five thousand
dollars. She then stayed until this was
all gone, when she gathered up what
additional money she could and left
again.
The last time she left he had given
her 100000 in bonds and $4,000 in
cash. He claimed she was fond of
travelling round the country and was
then in Florida. Bolton claimed before
the committee that Wilmington, Del,
was lis residence and that he lived at
012 Orange street in that city.
The committee were of the opinion
that Bolton came here purposely to get
a divorce and reported adversely on his
case and it fell through.

MARRIAaE IN AssYRIA.
Rather More of Matter of Barter There
Than In the Land of the Free.



| Chicago Herald.
Men live on six cents a day in Assyria.
| Assyrlan women are bought and sold,
are made to work with oxen at the
plough, and have as little liberty as in
the days of Cadmus. Men who pay SO
a day to live and ladies who ride to
shops in victorias thought over these
things as they left the Lincoln Park
Church Sunday night. Amen Rasi,
born on Mount Lebanon, told these
things in broken English.
Amen Rasi is q tall, handsome
Assyrian, with skin as rich as the
cinnamon silks made at the foot of the
mountain on which he was born. He
looked into the curious, bright eyes of
girls and told them that, had they been
born Assyrians in Assyria they could
not go upon the streets unless their
faces were concealed; that they could
neither receive nor make q call among
women without their husbands consent,
and that if at any time, even by acct
dent, they were seen by any man or in
any way recognized !. no one would
marry them.
He said that once two couples--a tall
man and short woman, and a short
man and tall woman-stood before a
priest to be wed. The priest placed the
tall man and tall woman and the short
man and short woman together, and
none Of the four knew whether it was
right or not, neither of them knowing
the other. But the parents hastily OBJ
Jected, and placed the tall man by the
short woman and the short man by the
tall woman, as that was the way of the
contracts.
Then Mr.. Rasi showed how til csc CON
tracts were made. He left the pulpit,
and presently man wrapped up in rich
Assyrian raiment went up and sat upon
the floor. Mr.. Rasi came back and
squated beside him.
II would very much like" he said,
"for girl who is yours to be wife to my
son Isaac"
81 would be honored," returned the
man, with very unmistakable Ameri-
can accent.
"How many have you ?"
"Threen
How much years have theyp"
zone is Is, one 20 and one 25.n
Don't talk to me about the 20 nor the
20; they are never fit to marry. How
much do you charge for the little one ?"
Five camels, four horses, three sheep
and $780,
Bah! can buy 100 women for SO
much"
"But no little one"
sob, think So"
less"
II pay"
But even then Isaac did not get the
little one, because a few minutes later
Mr.. Rasi returned as another man, and
BY doubling the price secured the girl
for his son Jacob.
Then Amen Rasi looked at the young
men, whose patent feathers cost them
81, and told them that people in Assyria
paid 30 cents for a suit of clothes. The
common people, he said, paid rs cents
day for house rent, three cents for rs
pounds of cabbage, and four cents for
five pound Of turnips. Fifty loaves of
bread were turned out at baking, and
men sometimes ate four and five loaves
at q meal. He waited for moment,
and then turning to black boy behind
him, said, "lhey are so big" and he
drew a circle that would enclose a
Thanksgiving platter.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, SAYS /:
The heir to over $1,000.000 has been
found In the western penitentiary, in
Allegheny City. EARLY In the eighties
an actor, whose stage name was Strayn,
but whose real one was j. Edwin Ryan,
became stranded with his company in
New Orleans. He had the good fortune
to rescue wealthy Cuban, Louis De
Amboise, and daughter, Edith, an only
child, from q deadly assault by two
williams. In the struggle Strayn was
severely injured. The De Amboises
nursed him back to life. The young
couple fell In love, but the father de-
manded that his daughter marry
cousin, Horace Leigh. She refused and
the lovers eloped and were married.
The father forgave them. Strayn fire.
quently absented himself. Horace
Leigh put up job ION him, as a result
OF which de Amboise and his daughter
were led to believe her husband I'M
faithful. A separation ensued. De
Amboise and daughter, with achild that
had been born to her, went back to Cuba.
Leigh on bis death-bed confessed his
deceit. Father and daughter also died,
leaving an immense property to StraYn,
who, after years search was discovered
to be an inmate of the Western peniten-
tiary, convicted of crime that had never
been committed. In his wanderings,
after separation from his wife, Strayn
worked at Jeanette, Pa, and became
known to several people there. The
efforts to trace him brought agents of the
estate in contact with Leader reporter,
who aided them in discovering the iden-
tity of Strayn, or rather Ryan. Efforts
are being made to have him set free on
habeas corpus proceedings. Bascom s.
Lynn of New York have the papers in
the case. The Leader sent representa-
tive to the Western penitentiary, who
found that James Ryan, or j. Edward
Ryan, alias Strayn, had been sent
up from Westmoreland county,. this
state, about 10 months ago, for an Of
fence which he holds proofs, his attor-
ney's claim, had never been committed.
Without any prompting he told the
story OF his marriage, and gave without
suggestion names, dates and facts which
corroborate the romantic story of his
life and prove him to be the heir to the
De Amboise fortune.
