STOLE SILENTLY AWAY
Sudden Disappearance of a Pretty
Seventeen-Y ear-0ld
Girl.
Stella Perrault Leaves Her Home
and Friends Without Word
of Warning.

Miss Stella Perrault, pretty 17-year-old
girl who up to the day before yesterday
lived with her mother at oil Mason street,
has disappeared, and her relatives are
searching high and low for her with the
hope OF inducing her to return TO her home.
Though her sudden leaving was evil
IDENTIFY premeditated, her mother and half
brother, ]. B. Hurd, who is on the police
force, had not the slightest suspicion that
she intended flight, and were taken COM
pletely by surprise when she failed to re-
turn home on the evening mentioned. In
vestlgation, however, showed that her de-
parture had not been the result of sud-
den impulse, as the best of her wardrobe
was gone, and call at local bank, where
she had kept balance of $50 to her credit,
showed that she had drawn it all out sew
eral days ago.
Her jewelry and other trinkets dear to
the feminine heart were also missing.
Miss Perrault was surrounded by all the
comforts that she could desire, and her
family are at a loss to account for her de-
sertion except on the theory that she has
been enticed away by some man with
whom she has become infatuated.
Since her disappearance her half brother
has been on an almost constant watch for
full preparations she had made that she
has left the city and will be found in some
country town, unless she concludes to re-
turn of her own accord.
Descriptions of her will be sent to all
interior points and every effort made to
bring her back.
Neighbors who were acquainted with
Miss Perrault attribute her leaving to a
tall, blonde young man, with whom she
has been seen walking of late, and of
whom she seemed to be very fond. She
was seen with him near the Perrault home
on the evening that her disappearance was
noticed. Miss Perraults father, who was
in the liquor business. has been dead for q
year and half, and her mother has been
sick for several weeks. Her daughters
departure has almost prostrated Mrs. Per-
rault, and she asks constantly for her
Miss Perrault was quite an accom- plished
musician and was well liked by her &C
quaintances.

a vote of thanks was rendered to Pro-
lessor Sichel for furnis hing music on the
occasion OF the ladies' night entertain
ment last week, and also for his voluntary
efforts IN musical way for the league on
all other occasions.
James Kidney, pioneer speaker and
worker In the cause OF labor, addressed
the league. He raised storm of ppIause
when he mentioned the Republican VIC
tory in Vermont. He called attention To
Mr.. Hearst's previous boasts IN the New
York Journal TO the effect that Vermont's
usual Republican majority would fall at
least 10000 behind. His prediction was
not fulfilled. On the contrary. Vermont
exceeded her usual Republican majority
by 100 per cent. Those old Vermont
Yankees are thoughtful, reasonable folks,
the speaker added.

A communication was received from the
Spanish-American Republican League in
viting the club to meeting of the league
next Monday evening at California Hall,
$40 Bush street. The invitation was ac-
ce pied unanimously.
The musical exercises interviewed and
were the most enjoyable part of the enter
tainment next to the speeches. Bert
Kingsley, George Hunter and Patrick
Kelly, vocalists of no mean order of merit.
delighted the meeting with topical songs
and were encored.
The gems of the entertainment were La
Petite Rose and Birdie Brightley, whose
songs, dances and banjo duets threw the
audience into furore. They were en-
cored again and again until politics were
forgotten.
Robert Duckworth of the Spanish Amer
can Republican League addressed the
meeting. He said that that organization
was composed principally of American
citizens OF Mexican lineage, who had been
forced TO leave their native country be-
cause of the grinding tyranny of the silver
mine owners there. Mexico was a silver
standard free coinage country, he said.
and for that reason every Mexican in the
United States was with the Republican
party to-day.
The speaker quoted from an address bv
President Diaz in which he deplored the
NSSS SAAotoS w Vic bdbAOL ny ILG Tree cQl0-
age of silver, because the debt of Mexico
was payable in gold and the duties were
payable in silver. Mr.. Duckworth read a
statement as to the wages paid Mexican
mechanics and laborers, as follows: Brick
LAYERS, SO per week; masons, $40 so per
week; plsslerers, 81 % per week; roofers.
81 40 per week; blacksmiths, So per week !;
printers, S. IS per week; tinsmiths, 81 so
per week; hod-carriers, S. per week;
laborers 81 80 per week: team STEERS 60 60
per week. All wages paid in Mexican
dollars.
Mr.. Duckworth related how, when he
lived IN Mexico, he had to pay fifty Next
can dollars for $25 in gold to send to his
mother in this City.
The example of Mexico was an object
lesson for the working people of the
united Ststes, and they should profit bv
the lesson.

In the south Of France the handing
of sweet pea by young lady TO a
young gentleman is polite way OF
stating that she is tired Of his COM
pany.
The red carnation Is regarded in
Spain as an emblem Of despair, There
is tradition in Andslusia that the
flower sprang from the blood OF the
Virgin Mary.
The corn tassel is symbolic of riches,
though the low price OF the product
during the last few years has deprived
the symbol OF much of its former sig
nificance.
The witch hazel. in all parts OF Great
Britain, is considered as a magic plant.
In many local traditions it is alluded
to as playing part in charms and in
carnations.
Among the peasants OF Holland the
gift of straw between lovers is con-
sidered as indicating hope of con-
cord; finding broken straw symbolizes
coming quarrel.
The Venus flytrap is indicative Of
danger. There is no question that this
symbol was being a deadly trap for
small insects.
The deadly nightshade in italy and
Spain is the emblem of falsehood. 1t
is probable that the poisonous char
acter of the plant had something to do
with the symbolism.
The primrose is in England an en-
blem of Inconsistency. The name signi-
fies that it is the prime rose. or the
first rose Of the spring, this flower
opening before most others.
The quaking grass and sensitive
plant symbolic agitation, the peculiar
habit possessed by these of trembling
at the slightest touch having no doubt
suggested the symbolism.
In the country districts Of Southern
England the present of bachelors

hint that he ought to change his con-
