While in Washington Mr.. Cortelyou
improved his spare Time in the study
ofsthe law, and, 1895, was graduated
from the Georgetown University Law
school. The following year, he took a
post-graduate course in the Columbian
university.
MI. Cortelyou was born in New York

inspnblic and private schools, and is a
graduate of the Hampstead q. ~ in
stittite, and of the state normal school
at4Mestfield, Mass. He holds the de-
gree of LII. B. from Georgetown uni
versity, and the degree of LII. NJ. from
Columbia university. He was for a
white law reporter in New York, and
then was principal Of preparatory
schools in the same city from 1885 to
1850. In the latter part of 1889 he be-

from the various newspapers and to
furnish them the particulars of the

Hundreds of reporters throughout the
country thus became personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Cortelyou, who not
only remembered their faces in con-
pection with the newspapers which
they represented, but in the great ma
iority Of cases remembered the per-
senal names of the interviewers them

Mysterious Disappearance.

All efforts to learn the whereabouts of
Miss Helen L. Barron, of West Rutland,
who disappeared last Monday, have been
unsuccessful, and her friends are be-
coming considerably alarmed. Miss
Barron was last seen between 10 and II
o'clock Monday morning, in the store of
the - 1ss-Huntress company. She has
occasionally had times when she be-
came "bewildered," AS she termed it,
but her friends never considered it dan
gerous to allow her to travel alone. She
was about GO years old, and had been
working for some time for j. f. Manley.
She was going to Schuylerville, n. Y,
Tuesday, and on Monday she went to
Rutland to make some purchases. She
did not return when expected, but 1t
was supposed she had stopped in the city
with friends. When she did not return
Tuesday, however, search was made,
but no clue could be secured as to her
whereabouts. Her friends in several
places were telephoned or telegraphed
to, but none of them had seen her. and
none of the conductors on trains leaving
Rutland could remember having seen
her. She deposited some money in a
Rutland savings bank Monday, and as
far as can be learned, had about Sc left.

THE IRON WORKERS. STRIKE
Little Chance to settle Iron Works Trouble
AT Rutland.

Little Chance to Settle Iron WorksTrouble
AT Rutland.
The police of Rutland are at a loss to
breaks which are occurring almost daily
in connection with the strikes of the
machinists formerly employed by the F.
r. Patch Manufacturing Co. and the
cally powerless to properly attend to
these matters, and also to patrol the rest
of the city with the police force at the
present size.
Both the strikes have been on since
early last May and the feeling between
the strikers and the men who have taken
their places grows more and more bitter
every day, the feeling on the part of the
strikers being greatly intensified OF late
by the fact that both of the companies
seem to have no difficulty in maintaining
practically full forces of non-union men,
and In getting out all of their orders in
good season.
The non-union men nearly all board
in houses in the Nebraska section of the
city and are under guard by deputy
sherifls hired by the companies for that
purpose. Nearly all the men carry
reyolvers and when they are attacked
by the strikers or their sympathizers
they have not hesitated, it is
claimed, to shoot. The non-uniOn men
state, on their part, that many of the
strikers are armed and it is necessary to
carry weapons in order to protect them
selves.
Revolver shots are frequently heard in
the vicinity of the company boarding
houses and the police believe that shots
are fired by both sides, but so far as is
known there have been only slight in
juries as a result. None of the police
seem to be anxious to do any very
strenuous work in the vicinity of the
boarding houses, and the Nebraska
district carefully avoids the streets IN
question except during working hours.
There have been no negotiations look
ing toward a settlement of the diflicul
ties for some time, and it looks as though
the strikes would last several month:
longer at least.
