A WOMAN'S DEVICE. Adopting Male Attir ty Procure Werk, The Sensation That Was Caused in & Philadelphia Store When the Secret was Revealed, Philadelphia Record, June 15. Ellizabeth Hunter’s career in the role of a young man was brought to a sudden termination one day last week, so far as this clty is concerned. For nine months past Elizabeth Hunter—that is hor mar- risge name, has been masquerading as a large-sized boy, and has been working hard to make a living The young girl married & man named Harry Hunter over a year ago. At that tlme ho was employed an a olerk In a Market atreet store. Ho was unfortunate and lost sev. eral positions, Finding at last that he could not get along with his wife he pro- ceeded to the home of his mother at Jorsey Clty. After a brief residence there the mother Informed him that she was not endowed heavily with this world’s goods, and that He must seek work. The husband obtained employ- ment In the blilliard-room of a hotel at Koy East, a summer resort near Ocean Grove. The wife felt herself a burden at the home of her mother-In-law, and here were gentle hints that she should be up and dolng. Her husband could not find anything for her to do,and wrote that the only place vacant was an asslstant to him in the billlard roor One day Eiizabeth sold her female attire and with the proceeds urchased a male outfit. She surprised er hueband by presenting herself at Key East and requesting to be made his stant, This little matter was soon arranged, and Charlie Hunter, ‘‘cousin of Harry,” rubbed off the billlard tablos, net up the tenpins, and made himself generally useful. The two did not draw their wages, only taklug what money they nceded, leaving the rest In the hands of the proprietor. Near the close of the reason the hotel was burned to the ground. The Hunters lost thelr gcant wardrobes, and only escaped with a salt of clothen oach, The proprletor Tost all his money in the place, and the unfortunate couple found .themeelves almost penniless. They turned 'thelr faces toward Philadelphia again, and In one of the party, ‘‘very arborlal.” A red flag flew from a flag staff and there wore flags and baunera of varlous colors, look- ing very pretty. Half this treey wig- wam was open at the side, and here squatted equaws, children, old men, all alnted; the rquaws looking anything but dsome, Inside were the braves, medlelne men, wnd the ohlef Pi-a-Pot, whose guests, Ohief Pasqua and other chiefs, were also there, On a eort of & balcony wera a number of braves with whistles, who beat time to the musio they made—very mournfal music it was. They had been golng on turning ard playlng the whistles and beating time for forty- elght hours, and withont a morsel of food. Here was a group of men, about a dozen or more, dressed in a most fantastlc style, all painted. On the second bay the ty saw one man tortared. He wasnal save for a thin pair of deawers, and paint- ed a larld whitlsh color. One of the medlclne men came up and thrust a wood- en skiver In hia breast, and then tled round the skin above the hole made by the skiver a plece of tape 8o as to draw it up tightly. The tape or cord was attached to a beam, and the tortured brave moved round in time to the tune, the skin being drawn ont about six inches from the breast, e —— MONKEY3 AT BREAKFAST, A Bride's Exporienco in Her Indian Home -Monkeys Grave and Gay. Brooklyn Union, An English gentleman who lived in In- dia during his early life tells an amusing story of some pranks played by monkeys. They were almost as tame and playful as kittens about his home, and there were a great number of them. He says: ] was marrled in Indla and engaged for our home a house fourteen miles or so from any other habitatlon of white men. On the morning of our arrlval my wife went in to change her traveling dress, while the servants Iald breakfast on the veranda overlooking fthe river. At the clatter of the plates there began to come down from the big trees that overshad- owed the house, and up the trees that the house roof itaelf, from everywhere, & maltitude of sclemn monkeys. They came up singly and in couples and fn_families, and took their placss without nolso or fuss on the veranda and sat there like an audience waiting for an entertalnment to due course of time set their feet In the city. The husband mansged to obtain employment and a recompense that en- abled him to keep the wolf from the door. His old-time {ll-fortune still clung to hlm, and the wife determined agaln to seek for work to help him. She donned the male attire and went to the Young Men’s Christian Assocla- tion. She reglstered at the employment bureau as Charles Hunter, Jersey City. A long blank was glven her to fill out, and she wrote that she was a membar in good standlng in a Presbyterian church at Jersey Clty, had been i1l and neaded employment. About thls time a Mr. Turner, son of a member of the firm of Langfeld, Tarner & Andrews, pocket- ‘book and fancy gecods manufacturers, at No. 507 Arch strect, met iho~ young “Charley.” He was so nice and wanted work go badly that young Turner ob. +4alned a place for him at the store, and Charley made himself useful and sgree- able. He (or she) is described as spare In figure, rather sallow comploxioned and inclined to be what the boys would de- termine ‘‘alssy-like,” Charley persisted In wearing high heeled shoes and throw- Ing bis form about in a manner that gave the boys and glrls In the place lota of was christened ‘‘Dudey,” “‘Chawley,” ‘*Maria,” *‘Sis,” and all sorts of odd names. He was told to rub his chin with molasses, s0 as to make his whiskers grow, when he replied: I didn't come from a hairy family.” Life among a couple of hundred employes was not a bed of roses. 1t was noticed that among other pecullarities that Char- ley had a habit of running out of ‘the store twice a dsy and golng off some- ‘where, no one knew just where. A fow days ago a clerk reported |that he saw Charley on the street, and that when he approached himhe putsomething ander his coat. Mr. Andrews sent for the clerk, and asked him whereZhe had been. “iAt the faotory,” was the reply. A tele- phone message dlsclosed the fact that thls was not true. “‘Now, I know all about it,” sald Mr. Andraws, meaning to frighten Cbarley, “Oh, youdo! Oh, well. How did you find out that I am a woiaan?” broke in Charley. This was more than Mr. Andrews ex- pected. He was nonplussed for a min- ute, and seeing that he had struck wpon an unexpected lead, he plied more in- terrogations, *‘Charley” then told the whole story, and to prove what she eald she offered to produce hor husband, commence. And when everything was ready, the breakfast all laid, the mon- keys all seated, 1 went in to call my wife. “‘Breakfast ls ready and they are all waiting,” sald I. *‘Who are waiting?”’ she asked in dis- may. *‘Ithoaght we were golng to be alone, and I was just coming out in my dressing-gown.” “Never mind,” I said. “The people aboathere arenot very fashlonably drested themselves. They wear protty much the same things all the year round. And so my wife came oat. then her astonishment. In the middle of the veranda stood our breakfast table and all the rest of the space, a3 well as tho railings and the \ steps, were covered with an lmmense company of monkeys, as grave as poesi- ble, and as motionless and silent as if they wore stuffed. Only their eyes kept blinking and their little round ears kept twltching. Laughtng heartily, at which the monkeys only looked all the graver, my wife sat down. “WIll they eat anything?” sald she. *“Try them,” T said. 8o she then picked up a buscalt and threw it among the company. Three hundred monkeys jumped up in the alr like one, and just for one insant there was a rlot that defied description. The next instant every monkey was sit- ting in its place as solemn and serlous it it had never moved. Only their eyes winked and their ears twltched. My wife threw them another blscuit, and sgain the rlot. and then another and another. But at length we had given Imaglne, that we had to give and stood up | Wi to go. The monkeys at once rose—every monkey on the veranda--and, advancing Enely to the steps, walked down them a solemn proocesslon, old and young to- galflur. and dlspersed for the day’s ocoup- stlon. ———— An Important Arrest. The arrest of a suspicions character up- on his general appearance, movements or companionship, without waiting until he has robbed a traveler, fired a hou or maurdered a fellew-man, is an {mportant fanction of a shrewd detective, Kven more important is the arrest of a disvase which, if not checked, will blight and destroy & human life.

The plucky little woman told a reporter that she would continue in boys' clothes if she could not obtaln a decent llving otherwlse. ‘‘Women are pald such poor wages,” she remarked, ““and I will not do anything dishonora My husband’s health is poor, and I have to support him and myself and our darling little ones,” Mr. Andrews sald that he has watched the woman for some time but that no one suspected her sex, Her mysterious dla- appearance, he was afrald, were to take goods toa confederate In waltlng near the door, He wasglad to learn other- wise, The woman comes from Sault Ste.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL, THE WISSING MAN. Interview With His Wife, Nick Oleary’'s Absence £till a Mystery and No Cause Known by the Family, One of the Bee men was yesterday de- talled to make Inquiries Into the facts concerning the mysterlous disappearance of Nick Cleary, mention of which was made seme time ago in the Ber. The Bee man proceeded to the famlly resldence, sltuated at No. 1731 avenue B, and found a frame cottage of five rooms, with about an acre of ground surrounded by a neat rastic fence, and on rapping at the rear or kitchen door, the call was answered by MRS, CLEARY, who upon the caller's mentioning his mis- slon, politely ushered him In and told him to be seated. In answer to the question ‘‘when did Mr. Cleary leave home!" Mrs, Oleary answered, that on the night of Satarday, June 6th, two weeks ago to-morrow, M. Oleary came home from the tranafer, where he had worked for many yeors, as he had been in the employ of the Unlon Prelfic rallway ever since the bullding of thal road was bufinn in this city, and al- most as soon as he entered the house he began gwit", *‘the men at the transfer have been tormenting me all day and they are GOING TO KILL ME TO NIGHT, and I cannot or shall not stand:t.” It appears that Mr. Cleary retlred and about 12:30 mldnight got up, and dre ing himeelf left the house, telling his wifo and dauchter simply that he was “going away,” and that they must not say a word unless some one Inqulred for it He took $12, all the money there was in the house, and left, which was THE LAST SEEN OF HIM, Mra. Cleary Informed the Ber repre- sentative that her husband has been act- ing very queer of late, and in fact has been slowly becoming, she thinks, de- ranged since the drowning of his twelve- year-old son, Willie, In Cup Lake, thres years ago the 22d of this month. Willle would have been fifteen years old to-day had he lived, 1t was learned that the only relatives the missing man has In this country, s a nephew, Thomas Cleary, No, 4 Mary~ land street, Buffalo, N. Y. The BEE man upon asking Mre. Cleary why she didn’t report the fact of his dis- appearance to the police, because they, if notified of the circumstances in time, might have been able to render some tance, was answered with, ‘‘well, I am sorry I dldn't us the longer he’s away the worse we all feel and the more we miss him; he told usnot to a word unless some one made inguiries about him and we thought that It was probably only a little bad spell he had and would shortly return home, and if I told the police, why, then he would be agin me and think I also was an enemy to him, as he thought everybody else, that pretended to be his frlend. Why, when my glel aud I trled to quiet him and begged him not to go away, he told us that we were plotting agin™ him with the balance of the crowd.” Everyone who has talked with Cleary for some time past thought him OUT OF HIS HEAD, and a number of his intimate acquaint- ances have been afraid to spesk to him, a8 he seemed to think them his enemles He was born In the oounty Wexford, Treland, and after being married came to th{l country and settled in Madlson, is., and was ona vessel plylng between Chicago and Buffalo and Bz 1867 moved hers.

The only talk that came near leading to & quarrel has been when the wife and daughter have been trying to Induce him to brace up and be more like his former self and not think people his enemles. On the Tueeday following the missing man's departure from home, Jalius Kauf- man, foreman of the freight-handlers at the transfer, called on Mrs, Cleary and gave her her husbaud’s pay for the month of May, and Mras, Cleary sald: “If it hadn't been for that money I don’t know what I should have done. 1 have very little left after paylng our bills, I pald the Bee boy last Saturday for tho Be for that week and told him to have the paper stopped as I could not Eny for It any longer, and Lord only nows how myself and my children will now get along.” The BEE man informed her that, under the circumstances, the Bre would be delivered to her righ ong, whereupon she thanked him, she did several times before, saylng: ‘I trust the article in to-morrow's Bee will be the means of bringluz my husband back to me.” The following Is NICK CLEARY'S DESCRIPTION. as glven by his wife: Height about five feet elght inches, brown hair mixed with gray, red mustache and ohin whirkers, welght about 140 pounds, dreesed in well worn black sult with frock coat and black slouch hat, snd on leaving home had a pair of oyeralls under his arm, Barrack Life on the Isthmus, A correspondent cf the Brooklyn Eagle dlscribes Panama camp life: When the dreary isthmian nights, laden with poiron as deadly as ever came from a ser- pent’s tooth, settled down on the lonely shed all hands except the sentrles were gathered within 1t.
