A Dlsappearance Uase Cleurel ua

One OF the most peculiar cases OF
disappearance in the experience of the
police OF this city, and which it was
thought would remain forever an I'M
solved mystery, has been recently
cleared up. Announcement is made
Mt Police Headquarters by Superin-
tendent E!drldge that Miss Gertrude
Whitney, who disappeared from the
Boston Postoliice, where she was en-
ployed, on July II. 1888, is known to
be alive and married to very worthy
gentleman. This is about all that can
be learned, but this is interesting from
the sensation that the case made ut the
time of the disappearance.
Miss Whitney left the Office at noon
on the day in question, and went to
her boarding house on Hancock street,
where she got her luncheon. She then
left the house and was not again seen.
The papers were full of the case. and
every possible theory, from murder to
abduction, was advanced. 1t came to
be pretty generally believed, however.
that she left OF her own free will, for
although she took but little of her
clothing or other property with her,
1T was known that she had saved her
salary for some time past, and ,on the
day on which she lett had drawn out Il
full months pay, amounting to So.
Nothing more was heard of her until
about two weeks ago, when her mother
received letter stating that she was
happily married, and inclosng pic
ture of her child. Neither the gir's
parents nor the police will state who
the man is to whom she is married, but
1T is thought that it may be Edward
l.. Peytou, Stoneham man, who had
paid IL good deal of attention to Miss
Whitney, and who was living in the
West Mt the time Of her disappearance.
This theory is strengthened by the
fact that for some time previous to
her disappearance she was observed to
be studying railroad guides, rs though
preparing for long journey. Mr..
Peyton and his wife were in this CITY
short time ago, aud the description
of Mrs. Peyton given by those who
knew her comedies closely with that
of Gertrude Whitney. Boston Tran

Acme o" AbSent-Min:le lnrSS.

Two Young men bearing an iron
bound box between them stepped into
an elevator at the north end OF the
postoilice building yesterday and sailed
out the third floor. L he wrist OF one
was handculled to his burden by n
short, heavy chain. The sight is fa-
miliar, as messengers from the banks
so to redeem old currency and trans
act routine business with the sub
treasury.
As the car door slammed an elderly
man stopped abruptly to gaze after
the rising car. He still stared Mt the
dark shaft when the car had disap-
peared. His wife went down the cor.
ridor alone aud came back again.
Come on, dear; why, you've let
me walk clear to the stamp window,
thinking you were beside me-" she
protested. 81 have always argued You
were the most absent-minded man in
st. Joseph"
"Not mt all, Jane; that is, they beat
me NIL hollow in Chicago" And tho
husband smiled with the pride Of PROV
ing his contention. 81 was just watch
ing him. Will you believe it? He
has his gripsack chained in his hand
to keep from dropping it anywhere !"

Gentucky the UNIONS Eldest Daughter.

a friendly critic has taken the
Times Herald 30 task for saying that
Kentucky was the eldest daughter OF
the Union. "What is Vermont?" in
quires this correspondent "the eldest
sOu?'
Certainly the Times Herald knows
the historic fact that on the record
Vermont was the first admitted State,
but Kentucky was the first to apply,
and the enabling act for Kentucky's
admission was the first that was
adopted.
The act OF Congress TO admit Ken
lucky into the Union was passed Feb.
ruary 4, 1871, though on the petition
of the people of Kentucky the actual
admission was to take effect June 1,
1892.
The enabling act for tho admission
of Vermont was passed February IS,
1871, two weeks after the Kentucky
act, but it was given effect the follow.
ing 4th OF March. Under these cir.
rumstanccs the Times Herald holds
that 1t is not erroneous to say that
Kentucky is the eldest daughter OF the
Union, though there is no harm in
also saying that Kentucky and Yer
mont came very near being twins. -
