New York Aug. i3.-The Red Star liner has a mystery in a human docu- ment, whom Capt. Doxrud, the steam ships officers and the United States immigration officials have not been able to read to their complete satis- faction.
 The mystery is a good-!ooking young woman of twenty-six, of evident education and refinement, who made ! the trip in a ball gown, with two racks of mineral water for luggage and s4. She presisted in wearing her evening costume at all times dur ing the passage. and attracted much attention at the table by conversing in loud tones and with an exaggerated English accent

The woman came aboard at Antwerp with two men, each bearing a case of mineral water. It was not discovered until later that she had no change of raj ment. She was a cabin passenger ! and her ticket had been previously paid for.
 The Kroonland arrived on Friday and. in view of her refinement and signs of good social standing, the immigration officials have allowed the woman to stay aboard the ship at the foot of Fulton street. North River She will probably be sent back oa the Kroonland on Monday
