Bruins Prevented From Sailing
for Europe by a Very Deter
Mined Young Woman.

New York, June 1l--Just ten minutes
before the steamship Moltke OF tho
Hamburg American line, sailed from
Hoboken yesterday a handsome young
woman ran down the pier and cried:
Where is her oh, l must find him
where Is he?"
Detective Welnthal and Officer Wiehe
questioned the woman. and she told a
story OF desertion by her fiance, who
was n passenger on the Moltke, and who
had surreptitiously left the home of her
parents I'm New York. where he had been
staying, while she had gone out Of the
house for a few minutes.
She said he had taken with him all his
belongings in "A trunk and $40 OF her
money
She refused to tell the officer her name
or address. but SAID the name OF ber
false sweetheart was Bruins, and that
she had traced him 10 the ship.
While the detectives were endeavoring
to learn more OF her story the woman
suddenly darted away from them, and
running up the gangplank, caught hold OF
a young man who was Just about 70
board the ship. She took him by the coll
lar with both hands and pulled him
down the gangplank.
please marry me. John" said the
young woman to the man I'm entreatlng
tones; please marry me-"
mo, / won't" he answered, "and that's s
all there is to II. I'm going TO sail on this
ship. and you nor no one else can stop
me-"
'Well. then, you won't" she screamed.
and grabbing the man by the neck the
little woman pushed him over a pile OF
baggage and forced him 10 sit down.
Turning TO Detective Weinthall. she de-
manded the mans arrest, but the detec-
tive said he had no warrant
We'll he don't go on this ship IL i can
hold him." she answered. as she gritted
her teeth and took tighter hold on her
prisoner And he didn't, for just then the
gangplank was hauled UP and the Moltke
slowly backed out into the stream, the
mans eyes following II with longing
looks.
The couple walked away together to-
ward the ferry. the man sullen and de-
jected, the woman alternately jubilant
and entreating him to keep his promise.

The Novelist's Peonle.

The author or authoress, says the Lon
don Spectator, Of today does not seek
TO give his or her reader friend or an
enemy in his or her hero or heroine
AS a rule. with very few notable excep-
tions. we do not care q bit what hap
pens TO them, we only care 20 know how
they are made. The authors OF their
being pick them TO pieces before our
eyes. and we watch 10 see how lifelike
he has made them and how naturally
they squeal. Their mental anatomy is
copied minutely from many modern wo-
men. and their makers have pushed the
study of mental anatomy further than IL
ever was pushed before. Their environ
ment. too. often Is extraordinarily natu
raj and well depicted. No god out of
machine interferes in the mlsfortInes OF
n modern heroine, and the old theory OF
poetic justice. has been long thrown
aside us lumber together with other
worn-out properties Of n passed away flc-
ton. To ask at the present day how n
story ends, whether happily or unhappily,
is to give ones self away for an old
man. or one without feeling for litera-
ture Novels are not intended to. supply
us with agreeable society-they are es-
says Of art. Yet these dreary stories,
whose dramatis. personae agonze under
a leaden sky, can seldom be dignifcd
with the name OF tragedy; they have
n5thing OF the conservation and tho
poets dream" Their sordidness is too
often wholly unrelieved by any touch OF
poetry.
What IS the meaning OF this change?
Have all our hearts become hard. so that
we can not be moved by any tale OF suf-
fcring or feel any desire TO see the sun
shine OF success. so that our romance
writers awake I'm us nothing but an I'm
telectual sensation OF critical enjoyment?
Are we so weary and so blase that. hav-
ing exhausted all pleasant sensations.
we must turn to watch pain as some
thing nowS We do not believe for an In
slant that this is the true explanation OF
this curious phenomenon. We believe the
fault or rather the failure. lies at the
door OF the new writer's OF fiction. Their
characters do not live. They are imita-
tion people. the most wonderful, the
most perfect limitations which have ever
been produced-but they are not alive.
They have never passed that mysterious
barrier between consciousness and un-
consciousness. Their very authors do
not believe they live--if they did they
would feel for them-and the readers do
not believe they live either.

monds a peacock breastpin set with dia-
monds and emeralds. and a chatelaine

Besides these there were three English
sovereigns and a handkerchief with the
letter TX" embroidered In a corner.
Detective Valley took the Jewels TO
Capt. Titus and he telephoned to Mrs.
Kingdom at Lakewood that her jewels
had been recovered.
Mrs. Valley said that the young man
who brought the package looked very
much like n district messenger Boy. He
wore peaked cap. she said. and she
didn't ask him any questions.

LoNDoN,s PRIVATE PALACES.
What Their Furnishings Cost-$1OO,-
900 to Decorate Single Rooms.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
The recent sale of Battle Abbey for
R200 000-a figure at which the prop
erty is considered almost ruinously
cneap-gives some small idea of the
vast sums that may be expended on
ones domicile. Eaton Hall, the Duke
of Westminsker's Cheshire seat, cost
the late holder of the title considerably
over a million sterling to build, and
probably even this figure would go only
a very small way toward purchasing
any one of some score of London houses
as they stand.
Perhaps none of these palaces strike
the visitor with a vivid sense of their
wealth more than do Spencer House,
in Arlington street, and Norfolk
House, in st. James Square. Stafford
House, st. James Palace, the largest
of them by far, contains probably more
moneys worth than any of the others,
but is not so lavishly decorated.
One may discover that for a single
sideboard without any history or age
to enhance its value the sum of $500
may be paid: for a suite to accompany
it another $500; for a carpet for the
dining room $50; for curtains for the
same room S12 a yard; on fireplace
and mantelpiece $500 may be laid out;
the tapestry and carved panelling with
which to clothe the walls will cost &100
per panel, ana the celhng, II WnlStler
or a Sargent decorates it, will run
away with $4,000. Altogether, one
may invest ELL on the dining room
-one of the cheapest apartments in
the house. The mere mural decoration
in the grand drawing room will cost
more, and its other appointments four
or five times as much. Then there will
be three or four smaller drawing
rooms, boudoirs, and music rooms to
furnish at proportionate cost;
morning room or two, which will cost
a mere 10000 apiece; a library, that
cannot very we'll be furnished in keep
ing with the rest for less than 212,000,
including books.
With regard to the bedrooms, a700
apiece may be paid for some of the
suites and e100 for the beds. These
figures are by no means fancy prices
that IL would be difficult to spend. To
such firm as Warnings they represent
items that there would be easily sup
piled.
