NEw YORK, Jan. 3l.-A little over a
year ago a lad walked into tie Fifth Ave-
nue. tOtel and asked for a place as hall
boy. He was apparently about Is years
old. straight as an arrow, with tawny skin
and intensely black hair that made him
look like an Indian. He said he came
from the West and that he was a French
Canadian and gave reference from Vest
ern hotel keepers. He was made a hall
boy in the hotel. He said his name was
John De Luce. He became a great fav-
orite with the hall boys, but not with the
proprietors, who turned him adnft.
Among the young Indians admirers was
Charles Green, a hall boy of the same age,
fresh from the Palace hotel in San Fran
cisco. De Luce got n place in the Hotf-
man house as hall boy, and his acquaiut-
ance with young Green continued.
On their nights off they visited the
museums and the variety theaters to-
gether. Mrs. Celia Y. Pattison Of Evans
vile, Ind,. a rich widow, arrived at-the.
Fifth Avenue just before Thanksgiving
day, November 90. She went with her
friends to the dining room. She was zone

sired to pay for the answer and went to a
small hand satchel containg her pure, 1t

called 10. His investigation showed that
on the mantel piece was a beautiful watch
studded with diamonds, and in the hand
satchel where the missing purse had been
there was diamond jewelry worth So, 900.
The missing pocketbook contained 500
and jewelry which Mrs. Pattison valued
at s., 900. Nobody had been in the room
during Mrs. Pattison's absence except
Green, but the boy made 50 strong a de-
tense that no action was taken, and he
said at the hotel till Dec. 5, being care
fully watched all the time. He and De
Duce went to Washington together, and
then the matter was put in the hands of
Inspector Byrnes, who sent out descrip-
tions of the boys that resulted in Green's
arrest in Saginaw, but his swsrthy com
panion succeeded in eluding the officers.
Some of the stolen Jewels were found on
Green. He will be brought here at once.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 3l.-Annie
Reed. n woman who died IN rags at the
Maryland hospital last night, from alco.
holic excuses. had n history os sad as ever
told by the pen OF a romance writer.
Reed was an assumed name. At the re-
quest of members of the family her ldent,
iry will remain a secret. She was the
most beautiful of three daughters Of a
wealthy land owner in Carroll county.
Her father descended from one of the old
est and Droudest families in Maryland.
Twenty years ago she made her debut at a
brilliant reception at Annapolis. For
three years she was a reigning queen in
society. Her beauty was far famed. and
she was sought in marriage by some OF
the leading young men of this city. In
the height of her social cOnduests she de-
veloped a passion for wine. To the hor-
TOR of her sisters aud parents she was
brought tome from several receptions IN
an sntoxicated condition. Gradually she
drifted into a life of sin and shame. She
left home. became the companion in
shame of a handsome sporting man, and
soon became a leader of the demi'
monde. She was notorious in both
Washington and Baltimore. One OF
her sisters married a clergyman, and al
though they made every effort to reclaim
her. the reckless young woman sank lower
and lower. About two years ago she was
turned from a vile den. the lowest OF the
line OF houses which had protected her IN
her shame. She her took a miserable
shanty in an alley, from which she was
frequently carried In a drunken condition
20 the police station. She was found by
the officers finally overcome by her ex.
cesses and dying on the filthy floor OF her
den. When she was removed to the hos
pital. her relatives heard through the
newspapers that her end was near, and
then they went to see her. Her two sisters
and her brother-in-law as they stood
around the bedside and looked at the
bloated features. marked with sin and
suffering. shuddered at the change. But
those bleared, blood-shot eyes only opened
occasionally and stared u~nrecognizingly
around; not oDce did the poor human
wreck shake off the Inconsistencies. and
for two days and a night lay in a comatosC
condition. Death finally relieved the
sufferer aud the weary watchers.
