here that an English gentleman of high
est rank saw Mrs Pullman for the first
time and seeing became a most devoted
admirer. although. owing TO her deep
mourning and her retirement. he never
succeeded in being presented.
Mrs. Pullman. be It said, knew nothing
of her admrer until she received cable
gram Of $50 words several days ago.
This cable message was transmitted
first OF all 10 Washington, i'm the care of
a United States senator, who forwarded
IL To it's destina tion. which was the Pull
man residence. at Prairie avenue and
Eighteenth street.
The cablegram was an appeal for the
hand OF the handsome and wealthy wild
ow. u set forth an admiration of long du-
ration. and likewise the various castles,
estates, honors and rank 10 which the
sender was heir.
Only one thing was missing I'm the mes
sage. and that was the actual name of
the suitor. This he said. could be instant
~ learned by cable from his London So

Far from being acceptable 10 Mrs. Pull
man, this proposal so irrtated her that
she would return neither "A yea nor nay

nence," said she.
