is NELLIE Bly, MARRIEDs
Marriage License Issued to Robert
Seaman and Elizabeth Cochrane.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Rumor and specula-
ton were rife at the Auditorium tonight
owing to the publication of the issuance of
a marriage license to Robert Seaman and
Elizabeth Cochrane. The reason was that
two guests of the hotel bore those names.
For two weeks Robert Seaman, a New
York attorney, has been at the house, and
one of the permanent guests, since her ar
rival in Chicago is Elizabeth Cochrane,
who. is better known to the public Mel
lie Bly," According to the records in the
county clerks office Mr.. Seamans age is
sixty-eight and Miss Cochrane's is specified
late this afternoon and Nellie Bly," was
not to be seen. Those who are well ac-
quainted with Nellie Bly, claimed tonight
not to have heard or her intentions of
marrying. Ernest Webb, attorney, has
been one of her most frequent callers at
the hotel, and it is said he has been identi-
fed with her in business. At any rate, he
claims to have her confidence. IF she has
taken out a marriage license he said,
than to me. 1 certainly think / should
have known of it. She has not even init
mated such a thig to me-
For the past eight months Mr.. Seaman
has been in Chicago very frequently. and
he always has stopped at the Auditorium.
He came here the last time March IS, and
since then he has been seen with Nellie
Bly, almost every day. Such is the state
ment of Mr.. Kennedy. one of the clerks
at the hotel. This afternoon he paid his
bill and left. saying he was going to New
York. Clerks and employees in the hotel
claimed tonight that they had not seen
Nellie Bly, since early in the morning.

Happiness Enough.


The small boy was in love. Not that he
called it by any such grown-up term. but
the elders of the family recognized the
symptoms as unmistakable. He had come
home one day from school full of the
charms of a small maiden whose curls-so
said the small boy-had bobbed up and
down when she played Chaser just like
long, yellow shavings. After this any men,
ton of the small maiden caused the
small boy to blush fiery red under his
freckles. He also fell into a Mary's little
lamb sort of habit of lingering about after
school hours until the small maiden did APP
pear, which made him Internationally late
in arriving home. One afternoon he didn't
come home at all. At last, after supper,
he came in, his face wreathed with smiles.
Was he so very late? Why, he had just
stayed after school to play chaser with
the small maiden, and such fun as they
had had: He had watched her bobbing
curls to his hearts content, and they had
raced and run all about the school yard
and the neighboring block until Trey were
thoroughly tired out. And what did you
do then?" asked the small DO. IS mother
"Oh, then" replied the small boy, his
freckles fairly b,otted out beneath his
bushes, while his eyes beaned ecstatically,
then we leaned up against the same board
fence"
