ROMANCE ENDS
With Attempt of Girl to End
Her Life.
Had Crossed Ocean to Join Child
hood Sweetheart, But a
Quarrel Followed
Sad Story.

Because OF a quarrel with the
sweetheart OF her childhood days.
Bonnie Dromboski, pretty eighteen
year.old Polish girl, with no perma-
nent place of abode, tired to commit
suicide by jumping into the lake at
the foot of Park row at Chicago.
Had 1t not been for the employees OF
the Illinois Central Railroad, W no saw
the young woman and rescued her
there would be another mystery for
the police to solve. Charlie Dawson,
one OF the men who saw her, and
the first to reach her side after she
jumped, told of the desperate strug-
gle the girl gave ham before he sue
ceeded In pulling her into land.
The place where she sought to end
her life Is being filled In and 1t was
only that the spot chosen by her Is
shallow that saved her life. On
questioning her at the Harrison street
police station, the police concluded
that the girl was demented and she
was sent to the detention hospital.
II was here a few hours later that she
regained her reason and in broken
English told why she tried to kill
herself.
From the sobbing girl an incoherent
story of her love affair was learned.
1t appears that she has been In the
country six months, coming here
from Polio, In Poland, at the re.
quest of her childhood sweet
heart, a young Pole, whose time OF
service in the Russian army had expir-
ed one year ago and who came to
this country Immediately alter. He
told his sweetheart that he would
send for her as soon as he got en-
ployment at his trade, that of shoe
maker.
During the many months that
they were separated, the two lovers
wrote each other letters every day.
Six months ago the girls lover
sent a ticket and some money to her
telling her to come to Chicago, where
they would be married. True to his
promise the young man met her at
the depot.
The young woman then went to
live with friend on the southwest
side aud a wedding was planned ioI
a month later. Then another sutton
tor the hand of the pretty girl appear
ed on the scene and a quarrel with
her fance followed. The engagement,
was broken and In fit OF pique the
young Polander returned last month
to Russia with the intention of re-en.
tering the army.
The breaking of the engagement
and the departure OF the young man
was too much for the girl, and since
that time she has been feeble. minded.
Brooding over the loss of her lover,
the young woman disappeared al
times for two or three days. Last
week she was picked up near the
stockyards by policeman OF the
new city station and 1t was several
days before she could tell who she
was.
1t was when she heard of the wal
between Russia and Japan that hei
strange actions were first noticed
Soon after the war began she lett the
house where she was stopping al
Western Avenue and Forty-Seventt
street. Sine that time no definite
knowledg, of her wherea bouts could
be learned until she was picked uI

OPENING Of PUBLIC SCHOOL
After Five Long Months of Holi-
day - Sessions Are Re-
sumed Today.

The public schools of Annapolis opened
their school session today after holiday
OF nearly five months. The opening was
a mere form, however. as most OF the
pupils were dismissed in an hour or two
10 order TO give the teachers an oppor-
tunity to grade and classify new pupils Of
which there were over 200.
Ii is estimated that the school, in all
departments this year, viii number at
least 900 pupils, and it is thought that
between 500 and goo pupils were enrolled
today, although II was impossible to as
certain the exact enrolment of the new
pupils in all of the classes. The opening
of school is not always the happiest day
! in the year TO the children, and today the
mist and rain OF early morning took all
starch out of the children, b tn literally
and hguratively.
Many OF the little ones who were spick
and span, with stiff dresses that set out
like ballet skirts, were limp after reach
ing the school house through the rain and
mist that prevailed from s to Q O'Clock
this morning The first day Of school
under any circumstances IS not very
conducive to hilarious moods and bub.
bling spirits. but teachers and pupils
each met the situation stoically. None
Of the teachers failed to report this morn
ing, and the entire corps. numbering
about twenty two, were on hand
Many parents accompanied their chill
dfen to school this morning, some OF
them entering the little ones for the first
time. 1t takes at least three or four days
TO adjust property the routine work OF
the school, and the rest Of this week will
be consumed before the facile movement
of general school affairs can be satisfac-
tonly started and things can be in proper
running shape. 1t is thought the entire
school machinery will be running along
smoothly in all departments on Monday
next. Parents contemplating entering
their children, should do so this week
and all the children attending the school
must be yaccinated before entering.
