Eva removed from Washington, la., to Chicago about three years ago. She want to live with ho* grandmother, and between the two there sprang up a deep affection. The girl, who was but 19, was a devout member of the Methodist church and a regular attendant at Sunday school. Soon after her arrival in Chicago the grandmother died, and Eva was thrown out upon the cold world. She went to work ss a servant at a boarding home frequented by car driven and conductors. While here she made the acquaintance of a flagman with a wooden leg^lliomas V««tort/in

Upon leaving her place Eva went to live with her step brother, Oliver Mitchell, and worked at the factory of an extract company. She and a friend, Maud Lewis, did all the corking and labeling of the firm. She had the acquaintance of two young men besides the flagman, Neil O. Gray and Walter J. Sturgis, the latter being one of the clerks of the millionaire Armour.

On the last evening of her life Eva left the factory with Miss Lewis, but the two soon parted. Eva went to her step brother's to supper. When she had finished she went to the boarding house where she had worked as a servant, arriving at about 0 o'clock. She stayed there twenty minutes and then left, it was supposed to go boma

He said that Eva called at his shanty about 0 o'clock and told him that she was going buggy riding. She,.didn't tell him who was going to take her. He claims to have seen her in a ramshackle buggy ttoon after or about 7 o'clock with a man, and says she cried out to him, "Good-by I'm going to elope. You will not see me any MOra.* Masterton was arrested, but afterward re-

A number of theories have been broaehad as to the cause of the girl's death, bat they are all theories.

One is that the girl was not murdered at all, bat aame to her death by being ran over.

PRETTY LAURA 8CHIRMER.1

She Is All re and Well and, of Ooar»e Was Not Poisoned at All. Laura Schirmer, it seems, was not poisoned In the sultanVi harem after alL

The fact is, it is doubtful if she evcr'saw the interior of the sultan's harem. Several months ago a wild tale came over the sea from the land of the unspeakable Turk and of the cypress and myrtle. It was to the effect that an American girl, Laura Schirmer by name, had been poisoned, along with thirteen other inmates, in the perfumed, sensuous harem of the mighty sultan, Eye of the Universe, Master of the World, etc.

The story read much like "Don Juan." The only difference was that in "Don Juan" the women were sewed up in a bag and tho bag was pitched Into the sobbing sea on a dark night

Ten years ago Laura Schirmer was one of the most promising prima donnas in the United States. She wss beautiful, educated and very attractive. Her mother, a Bo*too woman, was well to do, and the daughter was reared in luxury and had the best musical training that Boston afforded. Her voice, a light soprano, was of exquisite beauty. She traveled through the United States under Strakcsch, singing in "Sonnambula," "LanuMrtnoor" and oiler well known operas.

A STRANGE FATALITY, -x.i.

Bwj Sbs She Became Sagaied to Proceeded to Die. A few gtmipa of the southern end of St Louis are just now discussing the strange romance of a young woman who has for something over a year been a resident among them. The story, as told by The Globe-Dem-ocrat, was told by a clergyman of the Episcopal church, who has been a sufferer from the lady's strange fate. The lady in question is but a visitor to America, whence she f»Tn» to try and shake off the spell of which die firmly believes she is the victim. A few years previous to her leaving historic Caledonia she returned from the patrimonial estates of the family, nine and one-half miles from the Holyrood palace, in Edinburgh, to Aberdeen. By the death of her father, since her arrival in this country, the has become the heiress to a large estate. She is refined, graceful and handsome, but the fatality attaching to her makes her life an unhappy one.

When but 17 years old she became strongly attached to a nephew of the bishop of Carlyle. One day, while riding across the heath in his company, she had a presentiment that be would propose that night and that she accepted. She saw him, In a momentary vision, lying, pale and cold, by the roadsida Bewildered, she involuntarily stopped her horse, and in another moment fell in a swoon. He bore her to a cottager's near by, and on her recovery the bashful young man's love been so intensified by anxiety that, in a moment of mutual tenderness, they were betrothed. After escorting her home he had to pass the same spot to return to his domicile. The next morning they found him dead near where she had fallen. His horse had evidently thrown him, and be had been killed by the consequent injury to his head.

The lady recovered, and eighteen months afterward she was betrothed to an English naval officer who was suddenly ordered to the West Indies to join H. M. S. schoolship Eurydice. The next spring, on the return of the ship home, she was wrecked, and all on board but two were lost. The young lover was not one of the saved.

Time healed the lady's wounded heart, and her affections were won by an English army officer, who was drowned shortly after the betrothal. The night he was drowned she was attending a ball, and, according to her statement, was seised with a sudden attack of dizziness and fainted. On recovering she said she had seen, in a vision, the ball room suddenly transformed into a submarine cavern, containing nothing but the corpse of her accepted lieutenant. She could never be induced to danoe again.

It took a good deal of persuasion to induce her to become a fiancee again. But the persistence of an American sea captain conquered her reluctance and she accepted him. He returned to Philadelphia with his ship for the purpose of putting his affairs in shape for the wedding. While his ship was at anchor off the Delaware Breakwater he was also drowned. The bride elect came to the Quaker City afterward, and, having relatives in Carondelet, resolved to make a long visit to them.

The clergyman who furnished the fsots above related met and loved the lady, and she apparently reciprocated, but when he proposed she replied by telling him her story, and all his eloquence tailed to change her resolution never to marry. His attentions to her bad been a matter of society gossip, so that there was something of a sensation when there appeared in the society columns of The Globe-Democrat an item stating she bad gone to visit friends in the interior of the state, and would soon return to her home in Sootland to reside permanently.

This Man Should Be Very Happy, One of the prettiest sights Imaginable is witnessed just after sundown every evening on East 184th street A largo, fine looking, corpulent man turns the oornerof Willis avenue. He scarcely reaches 134th street when down the street come four little baby girls, ranging in age from S to 7 years. The large man stoops and four little bodies are embraced in his strong arms and eight little K.n^g are around his neck and kisses are rained on his cheeks in a shower. Two of the littlest tots are taken up in his arms while the other two trot along by his side, chattering and laughing. They all disappear in the basement ot a three story brick bouse. —New York Evening Sun.
