Clarkson, formerly chairman Of the Re
publican national executive committee.
this forenoon called at the Republican
campaign headquarters and had an ex-

The Sad Romance of a Russian
Countess

NEW YORK, Ocl. 22.-Chicago may boast
Of having an alien Marquis who is mil
lionaire carpenter aud builder, but New
York goes one better, for Wall-street busi-
ness men buy their papers of Countess
who once had an established position in
the court at St. Petersburg. She is a little
old woman, who has small stand IN front
of the postofice, over which she presides
with dignity acquired under far differ
ent circumstances. Her full name is Jo-
sephine Suffcen Jerozka. Her story. as
she tells it. begins when, as young Pol
ish girl, she married Count Paul Jarozka
and went to live in st. Petersburg. She
had a high social position there. That
was almost a generation ago. aud she was
happy in the Russian capital for many
years.
By and by she and her husband began
to disagree. Finally she left him. Then
her husband retaliated in a manner that
some people might call peculiarly Rus
sian. They had a son, a bright youth,
and the father caused information TO be
sent to the Government that he was in
conspiracy against the crown. One day
the son disappeared. The next tue mother
heard of him was that he had been sent to
Siberia to die in the mines. The Countess
endeavored to secure her boys release.
She visited the officials herself. She asked
all her friends to help her. but she could
not remove the Cars chains from her boy.
She then came to America. bringing with
her what little money she had saved.
She lived in New York In a cheap l0dg
ing-house until nearly all her money was
gone and the time had come for her to do
some kind of work or starve. Then she
began 20 sell papers, and siDcs has earned
her living in that manner.
Attempts have been made to take her
from her present position of want and
place her where she will never again be
in danger of hunger and cold. but she
looks on all of them as charity and refuses
them.

has written letter to President Cleveland
protesting against the action of Edwin f.
Uhl, Assistant Secretary of State, in re-
fusing TO issue him a passport, although
he has been voting here number of years
on papers granted by Judge Larramore in
the Court of Common Pleas February 21,
1871. Mr.. UhPs ruling was to the effect
that the papers wele worthless on the
ground that the qualification of five years
continuous residence has not been COM
piled with. Mr.. Uh's decision, Mr.. Rosa
says. prevented him from visiting Great
Britain, where he had contracted to lee
ture. and compelled his return to this
country from the continent of Europe.
Before going TO Europe in May he applied
for the passports in the regular manner
and did not discover they had been re-
fused until bis wife wrote to him on the
other side of the water.
In his complaint to President Cleveland

lishman, an Orangeman or an A. Z. a.
He gives an account of his application for
his first papers and of his arrest and in

of returning, but who is detained in a
manner that makes it impossible for him
to return and who returns as soon as be
