Elizabeth Hnnior'a career in the role
of a yonng man was broaght to a sudden
tormltmtlon ono day last week , no far as
this city la concerned. For nine months
past Elizabeth Hunter that Is her rnar-
riago name , has boon maaqnoradlng na A
largo-alzod boy , and has been working
hard to make a living The young girl
married a man named Harry Hnnter
over a year ago. At that tlmo ho waa
employed na a clerk In a Market street
etoro. IIo iras nnfortanato nnd lost BOV.
oral positions. Finding at last that ho
could not get along with hla wife ho pro
ceeded to the homo of hla mother at
Jersey Olty. After a brlof residence
ihero the mother Informed him that she
was not endowed heavily with this
world's goods , and that ho most seek
work. The hnaband obtained employ
moot In the billiard-room of a hotel at
Key East , a summer resort near Ocean
Grove. The wife felt herself a harden
at the homo of her mother-in-law , nnd
hero wcra gentle hlnta that aho should
bo np and doing. Her hniband could
not find anything for her to do , and
wrote that the only place vacant
was an assistant to him in the
billiard room. Ono day Elizabeth sold
her female attire nnd with the proceeds
purchased a male ontBt. Sbo surprised
her husband by presenting herself at Key
East and requesting to bo made his
assistant. This little matter wns soon
arranged , and Charlie Hunter , "cousin
of Harry , " rubbed off the billiard
tables , sot up the tenpins , and made
himself generally useful. The two did
not draw their wages , only taking what
money they needed , leaving the rest in
the hands of the propriotor. Near the
close of the season the hotel was burned
to the ground. The Hunters lott their
ecant wardrobes , nnd only escaped with
a salt of clothes each. The proprietor
lost all his money in the place , and the
unfortunate couple found , thoraeclvea
almoet pennilesi. They turned 'their
faces toward Philadelphia again , and In
duo course of tlmo sot their foot In the
city. The husband managed to obtain
employment and a recompense that en
abled him to keep the wolf from the
door. His old-time 111-fortnno atlll
clung to him , and the wife determined
again to seek for work to help him.
She donned tbo male attire and wont
to the Young Mcn'a Christian Associa
tion. She registered at the employment
bureau as Charles Hunter , Jersey City.
A long blank was given her to fill out ,
and she wrote that she was a membnr In
good standing In a Presbyterian church
at Jersey City , had been 111 and needed
employment. Abont this time a Mr.
Turner , son of a member of the firm of
Langfeld , Turner & Andrews , pocketbook -
book and fancy goods manufacturers , at
No. 507 Arch direct , met Jho-young
"Charley. " Ho was sonlci5 , and wanted
work so badly that young Turner ob
tained a place for him at the store , and
/Charlpj' made himself useful and ogreo-
/ablc. Ho ( or she ) is described as ap&ra
in figure , rather sallow comploxloned and
inclined to bo what the boys would determine -
tormino "alssy-iiko. " Charley persisted
in wearing high heeled shoes and throwIng -
Ing his form abont in a manner that gave
the boys and girls In the place lota of
fun , Ho was christened "Dudey , "
"Chawloy , " "Mario , " "Sis , " and nil sorts
of odd names. He was told to rub his
chin with molasses , BO aa to make his
whiskers grow , when ho replied : "I
didn't como from a hairy family. " Llfo
among a couple of hundred employes
was not a bed of roses. It was noticed
that among other peculiarities that Char
ley had a habit of running out of the
atoro twice a day and going off some
where , no ono knew just whero.
A few days ago a clerk reported [ that
ha saw Charley on the street , and that
when ho approached hlmho putsomothlng
under his coat. Mr. Andrews sent for the
clerk , and asked him where ho had been.
"At the factory , " was the reply. A telephone -
phone message disclosed the fact that
thla was not true.
"Now , I know all about it , " said Mr.
Andrews , moaning to frighten Charley ,
"Oh , you dot Oh , well. How did
you find out that I am a woiaanl" broke
in Charley.
This was more than Mr. Andrews ox-
pactod. Ho was nonplussed for a min
ute , and seeing that ho had struck upon
an unexpected lead , ho plied more In
torrcgitlons. ' 'Charley" then fold the
whole story , and to prove rrlat aho eaid
she offered to produce her husband.
The woman said the reason of her dis
appearing EO mysteriously during the day
was that she clipped off to uurjo her ba
by , which she kept In the neighborhood ;
that aho had boon compelled to adopt
male attire in order to obtain work. Her
husband called at the store and corrob
crated all hla wife had , There being no
further use far her at the establishment ,
the husband and wife , both in male attire -
tire , walked ont of tbo stora together.
The plucky little woman told n reporter
that ( ho would continue In boys' clothes
if she could not obtain a decent llvinp
otherwise. "Women are paid each poor
wages , " she remarked , "and I will not do
anything dishonorable. My husband's
health la poor , and I have to support hla
and myself and our darling little ones. '
Mr. Andrews said that ho baa watchec
the woman for some tlmo but that no ono
anapeotod her sex , Her mysterious dla
appearance , ho was afraid , wera to take
goodi to'a confederate In waiting near
the door , Ho was glad to learn other
irlso.
The woman cornea from Sault Ste
Marie , Michigan , where her father is en
gaged in business. Twice within th
past alx months ho sent her drafts fo
$50 each , which the firm cashed , and
which were readily honored. Mrs
Hunter , her hniband and darling little
James have returned to Jersey City.

MONKEYS AT BREAKFAST.
V Brldo's Exporlonco In Her Indian

An English gentleman who lived in In *
la during his early life tolls an amusing
tory of some pranks played by monkeys ,
" 'hoy ' were almost as tame and playful as
itteus about his homo , and there were a
rest number of them. Ho says :
"I wan married In India and engaged
or our homo a house fourteen miles or so
rom any other habitation of white men.
On the morning of our arrival my wife
ont in to change her traveling dross ,
hllo-tbo servants laid breakfast on the
cranda overlooking Jtho river. At the
latter of the plates there began to como
own from the big treoj that ovorshad-
wed the house , and up the trees that
row in the ravlno behind it , and from
ho house roof itself , from everywhere , a
aaltltudo of solemn monkeys. They came
ip singly and in couples and In families ,
nd took their places without nolao or
UBS on the veranda nnd oat there llko an
udionco waiting for an entertainment to
oramcnco. And when everything was
oady , the broakfaat all laid , the mon
keys nil seated , I wont In to call my wife.
"Breakfast ia ready and they are all
waiting , " said I.
"Who are waiting ? " she asked in dia-
may. "I thoaght wo were going to bo
lone , and I was just coming out ia my
resslng-gown. "
"Novor mind , " I said. "Tho people
bonthere are not very fashionably drese od
Kemselves. They wear pretty much the
amo things all the year round.
And so my wife came oat. Imagine ,
hen her astonishment.
'In the middle of the veranda stood our
roakfast table and all the rest of the
pace , ai well ns the ratlings and the
tops , were covered with au Immense
ompany of monkeys , as grave as poesl-
> Io , and as motionless and silent as if
hey were stuffed. Only their eyes kept
Ifhking and their little round ears kept
witching. Laughing heartily , at which
bo monkeys only looked nil the graver ,
my wife sat down.
"Will they oat anything ? " said she.
"Try them , " I said.
S3 aho then picked np a bnscnlt and
brow it among the company.
Three hundred monkeys jumped np in
ho air llko ono , and just for one instant
lioro was a riot that defied description.
? ho next instant every monkey was nit-
Ing in its place an solemn and serious as
t it , had never moved. Only their eyes
winked and their oars twitched.
My wlfu ihraw them another biscuit ,
and again the riot , and then another nnd
another. But nt length wo had given
away all that wo had to give and stood up
to go. The monkeys at once rose every
monkey on the veranda nnd , ndvanclng
pravcly to the steps , walked down them
n a solemn procession , old nnd young' to
gether , and dispersed for the day's oconp-
itlon.
An Important Arrest.
The arrest of a suspicious character np
on his general appearance , movements or
companionship , without waiting until he
has robbed a traveler , fired a house , or
Burdered a fellow-man , is an Important
function of a shrewd detective. Even
moro important is the arrest of a disease
which , if not checked , will blight and
destroy a human life. The frequent
coughloss of appetite , general languor or
debility , pallid skin , and bodily aches and
pains , announce the approach of pulmon
ary consumption , which is promptly ar

Ono of the BKE men was yesterday detailed
tailed to make Inquiries Into the foots
concerning the mysterious disappearance
of Kick Oloary , mention of which was
made s mo time acjo in tbo BEE.
The BEE man proceeded to the family
residence , situated at No. 1731 avenue B ,
and found 5 frnmo cottage of five rooms ,
with about an aero of ground surrounded
by a neat rastlc fence , and on rapping at
the roar or kltchon door , the call was
answered by
MILS. CLEAIIY ,
who upon the caller's mentioning his mil-
alon J , politely ushered him In and told
him to bo seated.
In answer to the question "when did
Mr. deary leave homo ? " Mrs. Oloary
answered , that on the night of Saturday ,
Juno Gtb , two weeks ago to-morrow ,
Mr. Oloary came homo from the transfer ,
where ho had worked for many yoors , as
ho had been in the employ of the Union
Prclfio railway over alnco the building of
thai road was begun In this city , and al
most as soon as ho entered the house ho
began Jwith , "the men at the transfer
have been tormenting mo all day and
they arc

and I cannot or shall not stand : t. " It
appears that Mr. Oloary retired and
about 12:30 : midnight got up , and dressIng -
Ing himself loft the house , tolling his
wife and daughter simply that ho was
"going away , " and that they must not
say a word unless somu one inquired for
him. Ho took $12 , nil the money there
was In the house , and loft , which was
THE LAST SEEN OF HIM.
Mra. Cloary Informed the BEE repre
sentative that her husband has been actIng -
Ing very queer of late , and In faot has
boon slowly becoming , she thinks , deranged -
ranged since the drowning of his twelve-
year-old son , Willie , In Cup Lake , throe
years ago the 22d of this month. Willie
would have been fifteen years old to-day
had ho lived.
It was learned that the only relatives
the mianing man has In this country , Is a
nephew , Thomas Olcary , No. 4. Mary-
laud street , Buffalo , N. Y.
The BEE man upon asking MM. Cloary
why she didn't report the faot of his dis
appearance to the police , because they , If
notified of the circumstances in time ,
might have boon able to render some
assistance , was answered with , "well , I
am sorry I didn't us the longer he'a away
the worse wo all fcol and the more we
miss him ; ho told us not to say a word
unless aomo ono made Inquiries about
him and wo thought that It
was probably only a little bad spell ho
had and would shortly return homo , and
if I fold the police , why , then ho would
bo agin mo and think I also was an
enemy to him , as ho thought everybody
else , that pretended to bo his friend.
Why , when my gltl aud I tried to quiet
him and bogged him not to go away , ho
told us that wo wcro plotting agin him
with the balance of the crowd. "
Everyone * ho has talked with Oloary
for Homo time past thought him
OUT OF HIS HEAD ,
and a number of his intimate acquaint
ances h&ve been afraid to speak to him ,
as ho seemed to think them his enemies.
He was born in the county Woxford ,
reland , and after bolng married came to
his country and settled In Madison ,

Chicago and Buffalo and In 1807 moved

ils home unpleasant. The only talk

On the Tuesday following the missing
man's departure from homo , Julius Knuf
man , foreman of the freight-handlers at
the tramfer , called on Mrs. Olcary and
ave her her husband's pay for the month
of May , and Mrs. Oloary said : "If It
badn't boon for that money I don't know
what I should have dono. I have very
little loft after paying our bills. I
paid the BEE boy last Saturday
for the BEE for that week and told him
to have the paper stopped as I could not
pay for It any longer , and Lord only
knows how myself and my children will
now get along. " The BEE man Informed
her that , under the circumstances , the
BKE would bo delivered to her right

she did several times before , saying ; " 1

A SNAKE ON THE TRAIN.
A Sovoii-Foot Conch Whip Cronies
Alarm Among the Passengers.
OiiAnLoriE , N. 0. , Juno 10. A. gonn-
Ino sensation wan created on a Washing
ton-bound paaaengor car. Commisslonor
f Agriculture Butler , of South Carolina ,
ocnrod a seven-foot coachwnlp snake ,
which ho decided to take to Washington
nd present to the department of agrl-
nlturo. The coochwhlp being a non *
ouomoua reptile , Mr. Butler poncludod
o carry it In a bag , and for this purpose
10 selected a towsack. On the train hemet
mot friends and tpld them of the remark
able snake , nnd his friends naturally ox-
iressed a doslro to BOO It. Mr. Butler ,
; oing to his coat , reached down and drew
orth the bag , around which ho carefully
elt with ono hand until ho touched the
nako'a head , which ho grasped firmly.
There wera about twenty passengers
watching the proceedings. Ono negro ,
nero curious than his fellow-travelers ,
moved up to got a hotter view of what
was going on just as Mr. Butler , having
jrasped the snake's head , jerked the
> ag away from U , and sovou foot of
nako began colling , squirming and twlst-
_ nf { abont tno oar. The snoko coiled Its
> ody In all manner of formsand whipped
IB tall around In the manner peculiar to
Is variety. Yells were heard at once ,
nd jumping from their Boats , the thor-
inghly frightened passengers went
umbling down the alslo and ont cf the
car door to the platform. The negro
whoso curiosity led him close to the
cone dodged , but not In tlmo to escape a"
mt by the snake's tall , and with a sln-
iero "Oh , Lord a massy" wont out of a
; ar window feet foremost. Catching the
wlndorr-f&clng as ho jumped , ho hold on
until a brakeman came and draw him
iack Into the car. The snake , in the
meantime , had coiled in numerous folds
around the arm rest and the logs of tbo
ar seat , and Mr. Butler , being unable
o release his hold upon its head , found
t impossible to unwind the snake with-
mt help. The passengers wanted to kill
t , but Butler's friends came to his aid ,
ind after a time the snake was unwound
> nd safely replaced in the bag. From
the tlmo that this Incident occurred un
it the train reached Charlotte , Butler ,
his friends and the snake bad the second-
lass car all to themselves.

engine without keeping hi ) eves peeled

tbout follows out west that would start
out on a run with a board reaching across
from Hie driver's seat to the firemen's ,
and a deck of cards but I never tried
hot. Just to ehow you how necessary
t is for a man to keep his eye on the
rails ahead of him , lot me toll you a little
story. I was running along one night In
Ohio some years ago. It was a blowy ,
rainy , nasty night , and In times of that a
man Is doubly watchful. For hours I
never took my eyes from the wet ,
gltttoulng rails ahead of me , except , ol
course , when we stopped at stations , All
at ones I saw In front [ of me how fai
ahead I conld't toll a glimmer ol
light. It was just a rpark. I barely
saw it before It disappeared. Was It i
llghtnlng-bug ? I hadn't aoen any tha <
night ? What was 11 ? That I couldn'
answer. But my Instinct told mo to Atop
the train , and stop I did. It was might ]
lucky I looked at It that way , for that
glimmer of light was caused In the odd
cat way you ever saw. Ton couldn'
guess it in a week. A farmer was walkIng -
Ing along the track , when ho dlscovorec
a short bridge so badly washed out by
the froihet that to run npon It with t
train meant a wreck. Ho tried to star
a fire with paper and his clothing , bu
couldn't do It. Ho had ono match loft
Ho kept that until I got close to htm , hi
plan being to strike that match , hold i
in his hat and wave It across the traok as
ho had soon the brakemen do when the ;
wanted to signal stop. It was his hope
that I would see tbo blaze before It was
blown out. Ho no sooner struck tin
match than out went the blaza. It wa
merely a flash , but I saw It , and tin
farmer had saved the train , What If I
hadn't made it a rule to keep my eye
peeled along the rails every minute whlli
running ? "
There was a long-haired man In th
smoking car and some of the younge
passengers were making sport of him

An Absent Minded Barber.
tfew York Sun ,
"Yos , " said the proprietor of on up-
.own . barbershop , "Jim wn&agoodwork-
man , but I had to got rid of htm. "
"What was the trouble ? "

getful. Ono old fellow , with a bond llko
billiard ball , ho never failed to ask if ho
Idn't want a shampoo. Another bald-
leaded old chap got mad because Jim in *
Istod upon sollln' him a bottle of 'Elixir'
iiat was warranted to keep the hair from
allin' out ; an * a young man , who was
lightly under the Intluonco of boor , fell
sleep In the chair on * Jim shaved oil his
moustache. I had to call in a policeman
hen. Ho cut ono-man's oar nearly oil
while watching a dog fight in the street ,
a' sometimes ho would rub hair oil over
customer's face Instead of his head , an'
11 his oars full of lather and forgot to
wlpo it out. Jim didn't ' moan nnthin'
wrong , but , as I said , ho was absent-
minded. You remember when old Doa-
on Jones died ? "

have him , an' I told Jim 'to go np. It
was that job. that lost him hla situation ,
lo did the work nil right , nobody ever Ni
onnd fault with Jltn'a work ; but when 01
10 had put on the finlahln' touches an
lulled the towel off the poor old deacon ,
10 turned 'round an1 shouted 'Next' so
hat people hoard him a block away. So
told Jim that I guessed I'd have to let
m go. "
