scenes of Whittier's poyhood than the men
Of that generation We're from the reyolu
tionary war. Whittiers bringing up was
homely, and the events of his life were
1nconspicuOus. Up to the age of twenty
he went to school little and learned the
trades of farmer and shoemaker. He was
afterwards editor and farmer by turns, and
his pereginatiOnS never extended beyond
Philadelphia and Washington; but his
knowledge of men and things was of the
clearest, so that Lady Henry Somerset, in
a discussion of English topics wherein the
poet showed an intimate acquaintance with
London streets and ways, was compelled to
ask, Why, Mr. Whittier thought you had
never been to England? Whittiers espou-
sal of poetry was in this WISE Sitting a
boy at the time, on a haystack and drink

lnapllity to speak of himself or to under
stand the praises that others brought him.
Mrs. Palmer here told curious story of
little woman who forced her way into the

HIGHWAYMEN ABROAD.
A Man Held Up on Maryland Street
Mrs. ROsengarten's Encounter.

A cali was received at the police station
last night from a man who claimed that
he had been held up and robbed on Mary
land street, between Illinois and Meridian
streets. When the bicycle police arrived
the man had disappeared, but he told the
Merchant policeman that three men had
stopped him and, with revolver covering
him, had taken his watch and several dol
lars in money.
Mrs. hosengarten reported to the police
last night that she had been attacked on
Michigan street near Pine by small man,
who attempted to snatch her pocketbook.
She fought desperately, and her screams
frightened the man away before he ac-
compllshed his purpose.
The police were unable to locate the high
Waymen in either case.

Nat Finn,s "F."

George Connor. charged with grand lar

yesterday. He was accused of breaking
into the store of Michael Finn. on South
West street. The prosecution of Connor
was based on the statement of Finn that
he could identify a pistol which it was al
legged Conner had taken. Finn said his
ristol had a letter "E'' ON the barrel near
the ''plunger." The revolver was produced
in court and the officials thought they
could make out the letter 'F'' as described.
But when a microscope was procured and
a more critical examination made il was
found there was no letter IF but that the
mark was the ordinary one placed on all
pistols by manufacturers

A DESERTER OF BRIDES
MARY HALLEN's STORY OF A VERY
BRIEF HONEYMOON.
Her Husband. She Thinks, Has "the
Habit of Deceiving Women
Took Her Money.

A story of more than usual interest was
related in the Superior Court yesterday
morning in the trial of the divorce suit of
Mary Hallen against Charles Hallen. who
was charged with desertion. Hallen was
not present, and his wife testified that She
had no knowledge of his whereabouts Mrs.
Hallen is a good-looking woman of thirty
five. She formerly lived at Richmond, this
State, where she met Hallen in 1895. Ac-
cording TO her story. Hallen courted her
at her mothers home for a year before they
were married. Hallen represented himself
to be a commercial traveller, and she had no
cause to doubt his statement.
Mrs. Hallens sutton was well received by
her relatives. AT the time of their marriage
she had about 5000 in money, which she had
inherited from her fathers estate. In her
statement TO the court she said that week
after their marriage Hallen informed her
that he desired to embark in the cigar and
tobacco trade, and knew of a stock of ci-
gars he could get at Newport Ky. He sug-
gested that they go to Cincinnati, and he
would make the purchase. He also sug
gested that his wife take her money along.
With the trusting confidence of a bride, she
consented and they started for Cincinnati.
Mrs. Hallen says they stopped at the Ger
die House. on Fifth street, arriving there
at noon. She requested the clerk to place
her money in the safe. which ne did. CIV
ing her a receipt for the amount This she
placed in her satchel. On the following
morning, she says, her husband was in the
room alone while she was absent He left
the hotel before noon and did not return
for dinner She saw nothing OF him during
the afternoon, and when he had not re-
turned at O'Clock in the evening, she be-
came alarmed and at the same time d little
suspicious. Opening her satchel she found
that the receipt for her money had been ex-
lord of the hotel, she found that Hallen
had presented the receipt at the desk during
the day and had drawn her money, every
dollar of it. She says the hotal people I'M
derstood from Hallen that she had author
ICED him to take charge of her iunds. Hal
len never returned, and the Cincinnati po-
lice department failed TO locate him or his
Wife's money. Three days later the forsak-
en- bride returned to her mother at Rich
mond. She afterward came to this city to
reside.
Mrs Hallen told Attorney Pugh she be-
lieYed she found a woman who had been
man. Some time ago Mrs Hallen was Wis
iting in West indianapolis and came across
another deserted wife. The two women
compared notes, and found their expe-
rfenceS were marVelOusly similar. Mrs.

eceived her Tailed with the description

Will Close Up.

For several months the Native Sons
grocery store at the corner of King
and Alakea streets has been running
along under what seemed 10 be very
prosperous conditions but the boys
who put their money into the business
having come to the conclusion that
they were losing in the venture, held
a meeting. The affairs were brought
out in detail and it was very soon
found that nothing was being made.
In consequence of this, they have de-
cided to sell out and close UP at the
end of the year.
