PITTSBURG, Feb. 17.-Posing as a
Vassar graduate, the daughter of the
late Senator Asbury Gray of Virginia
and heiress to a fortune of 100000
Kathryn Gray, a servant girl. enjoyed
a few brief days of notoriety received
numberless offers of marriage, gratifed
her desire ito see her name in the
papers, and ended in a police station
cell, accused of obtaining money under
false pretences.
She was happy she says, while the
excitement lasted, but now she is ut
terly miserable. Her experience has
made her a philosopher, however, for
she says:
ITO the servant girl who has good
home and is making fairly good wages,
my advice Isl Be content with your
lot. Don't be envious of others and you
will be happy"
At the police station the girl made
a confession, telling how she concocted
the story of being an heiress merely to
crafty her vanity, and how, for a
short time. she lived on excitement
until she almost believed her story her.

good education, and when L would read
the newspapers and see the names Of

the fine clothes they wore. 1t made me
almost crazy, l wanted to be some one
and to see my name in the newspapers
when l came to Pittsburg l came
with the intention of getting my name
in the papers. l had read recently of a
fortune having been left by a Senator
Gray in Virginia. My name is really
Gray and that gave me the necessary
start. / Immediately told another SER
want girl that was the missing daugh-
ter of the dead senator and his heiress.
ITS funny how fast news travels.
The night after l had told the servant
girl the story there was a reporter at
the house to see me. The next day

ened and did not know what to do. I
knew that L should be supposed to have
an education, and so / concocted the
story of having attended Vassar col
lege.
Whole Story Untrue
"It was all untrue, every word Of it.
Then came the reporters by the score
and | found that 1 was famous at last,
and 1 was so happy. 1 was a different
being, and it seemed so good to be-
somebody. Then came letters by the
of marriage, appeals for assistance and
some offers of money to fight the case
so I could get my fortune.
Then came an army of lawyers who
wanted to take UP the case for me. I
knew that was the beginning of the
end, and still it was all so fine that 1
just shut my eyes and plunged madly
onward. From one of the men who
wanted to marry me borrowed some
money and gave a lawyer $50 of II to
go to Washington and get my fortune
for me. Yes l did that, even though 1
knew it would be my ruination. But
the whole idea had taken such a hold
on me and was so fascinating that L
really began to believe that the story
was true.
Arrest Soon Follows
"rhen came the return of The lawyer,
the expose and my arrest by the man
who had advanced me the money. 1t
was like awakening from long and
sweet dream. The beautiful lights went
out. the glare and the tinsel were gone,
and nothing remained but darkness and
the thoughts of returning to the slavery
and drudgery of q servant girl 1t was
glorious while 1t lasted, but what OF
now?
II really did no wrong. and still L
am driven from the town by the police.
The kindest thing that those who pro-
fessed the greatest friendship for me
can say now is that 1 was crazy. Prob
ably l am. Sometimes 1 believe IL is
so. For few days L had taste of the
glorious life of which / had dreamed.
but the agony that 1 am now suffering
does not compensate for 1t. l shall try
to be happy now as servant girl and
hope that no other girl will ever be so
foolish as / have BEEN"

NEW YORK, Feb. 17-Severe declines
resulted from the active trading of the
two hours session today. The selling
: was made UP of heavy speculative liqui-
dalton combined with a well centered at
tack on the market which was credited to
the generalship of a veteran professional
operator with the prestige of many hear
campaigns In the past. The moment evil
IDENTIFY was propitious for the attack.
The renewed decline of this week had
brought prices back to the neghborhood
reported In the decline In January. A
fall below this level was bound to have
the effect of dislodging speculative hold
ings which were retained throughout that
decline.
The bank statement proved more than
had been expected. Only a nominal in
road was made on the surplus, which II
was feared might be wiped out Loss
in cash was only about half of what was
indicated by the known movements of
money for the week. The principal in
terest attached to the loan item and the
contraction reported of $9616,600 was In
contrast with the fears that the heavy
bond flotations of the week must have
caused a large expansion of banking
credits. That there has been, in fact,
such an expansion is not open to doubt,
but by resort to foreign lenders through
the medium of the exchange market the
local banks seem to have been relieved
for the present from these requirements.
The statement Of the countrys foreign
trade Tor January published today shows
the large resources at command in the
foreign exchange market in the excess
value of exports over imports of 1914. ,0OC
compared with only about s25 900, 900 for
the preceding January.
The severest pressure today centered
naturally upon the recent speculative
favorites, so that the widest declines are
found in Reading, Union Pacific, Smelt-
ing. Colorado Fuel, Amalgamated Copper,
the Hill group, Brooklyn Transit and
others which have been more or less
prominent in the excessive speculation of
late. The decline In prices, however, was
general throughout the list to the ex-
tent of between l and points. The
feverish rallies at the last evidently were
due to hasty profit taking by the sue
cessful bears, and the closing tone was
unsettled and weak.

THE ROADS.
". 7. Coe,
Secretary,

Mr., Logan Waller Page, director
United States Office of Publice Roads
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, ID. c., was here on Wednesday
and lectured on road making to the
county court and the various road
superintendent at the court house. Mr.
Page is an intelligent and capable of
ticer and gave many good hints in eff
ficieLt and economical road making.
From him we gathered the following
statistics for the year 1904:
Berkeley county has 5l8 miles of
road, pays 70 cents road levy, spent
$, S47.6S ON the roads and paid Sl.OO
per day for hands.
Jefferson 800 miles of roads, 25cta
levy spent 2,372,l9, wages $l.OO per
day.
Morgan 2lo miles, 25cts levy, spent
a 1866. Wages $1.00.
Hardy, 800 miles, Is cents levy, spent
50, $1,000. Wages 10 cents per day.
These figures plainly account for the
fast of Jefferson county having better
roads than Berkeley. They show that
Jefferson spent in 1904 Sal for each
mile of her roads while Berkeley spent
but SIG and too, Jefferson county has
been making her roads under the new
system for twenty years and Berkele,
but four.
Considering all things there is not 6
county in the State that has made the
road improvement in four years that
Berkeley has.

Senator Elkins declares that no action
