PRETTY MINNIE ROGERS WEEDS
BRADLEY ORLUP, AND WIRES
HER MA
She is Welded AND HAPPY,
WHY THE AMERICAN INVESTMENT
COMPANY HAD A SILENT TYPE
WRITER YESTERDAY.
HIS woo1NG WAS DIsAppRovEp
BY His Sweetheart's Mother, but His
Inamorata Found N Way to
Evade Her.

The typewriter over which pretty
Minnie Rogers presides in the Amer
lean Investment company's office, in
the Manhattan building, did not click
yesterday, and all because Minnie ran
away and married the sweetheart,
whose love-making was none the less
ardent or successful because ne had
not the entree to Minnie's home
Minnies employers wondered at her
absence, for she has been a steady,
faithful little typewriter, but they will
understand when they read in the
G o b e this morning that she has
simply thrown aside conventionalities
and run away with Bradley Orlup,
whom she met about a year ago, and
with whom she was in love- Orlup,
notwithstanding the fact that he is
gambler, is a quiet, rather good look
ing, well-mannered sort of fellow, who
has been connected with the fremont
Exchange on Robert street, but who
has been forced to seek new fields by
the closing up of the place If Miss
Rogers employers wondered at her alb
sence, her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth, who
lives at 344 Ramsey street. was at first
worried, and then nearly distracted,
when the pride of her home did not
come home to her
The neighbors did the best they could
to console the heart-broken mother,
but her grief was still further increased
by the receipt yesterday of telegram
from Minnie, dated in Chicago, stating
that she and Brad were in the Windy
City. Mrs. Rogers, who is a widow,
her husband having died a number Of
years ago while crossing the ocean, was
seen last night, but was too unnerved
to discuss the action of her daughter,
or any of the circumstances connected
with it,
Minnie, who is a niece of A. H. Rog-
erS, the real estate man, is exceeding
ly pretty, has soft brown hair, blue
eyes and an unusually shapely figure.
She is bright and ViVaciouS and had a
number of warm admirers among the
young men of her acquaintance, to
whom the news of her departure will
be quite a shock. She met Orlup a
year ago, since when, it is understood,
he has been smitten with her charms
even Drawing the disapprovaI of the
girls mother on one or two occasions
by presenting himself at their house.
They have not been seen much in each
others society. although he took her
for sle1ghride week or so ago.
Orlup came to st. Paul from West Su-
perior some time ago, and has, until
recently, lived at the Metropolitan ho-
tel. He is said to have some money,
and the fact that the pair went to Chi
cago Wednesday night is taken as an
Indication that he will follow his call
ing there, where the tiger is compare
lively untrammeled by municipal reg
ulations.
Just when and how Orlup managed
to see his lady love is not known, but
the presumption is that his devotion,
which, it is said, was entirely recipro-
Gated, resulted in clandestine meet
ings.
1t is thought probable that the two
were married in Chicago, although
there is a chance that they may have
dropped off at Hudson sufficiently long
to have the nuptial knot tied.
