Those who attended the enter tainrjient Vy Madame Rentz's fe male, nrinetrel troupe at Tncker Hall last Friday night may re member tho handsome blonde irho ' enacted ' Ralph Rackstraw and whose name on the bills wab given aa Lilu Mortimer. Quite a romantic, and at the tame time a ad histoty is attached to her. Lnln Mortimer, of oonreo, is but an assumed name, her identity now I'.'it'g known hp Ellen Louise Cooper, a frand niece of the fa mons Atneriean author, J. Fiui more Cooper. Her home is in (he township of New Utrecht, Long Island, New' Voi le, where her parents, now both dead, re sided more than a vear m. Her father was named Wm, J. Coop er, a man of respectability and Borne prominence. His marital relations were of the happiest character. In July, 1878, his wife, Eliza - Cooper, . died at her residence , verjt suddenly , ,Two days before fche Vai In excellent health..., I etnrning to Jjer Ipofe toa!-4,)u;htfaj hi$f Ise&ei viUi'violclt votadiig JA-pliysli ian was summoned, bnt his aid was without avail. She expired in I intense Buffering, intcrnal'rnp- ture being supposed to have been the cause of death. From tho day of her death the husband was a Ghanged man, became sullen and dejectedj and daily did his daughter 'Wcri him carefully. Frequently did he try to commit Fnieile, but us often did she. stay bis hand, once wrestling a razor from him when a deep gash was cut in hi' Wrist. He could nut be aroused to his former self. Unable1 to' Weed to death, he at tempted to shoot himself, but again did vthehand of-this oirl 6ave his life. One day he said 'to her, 'I will 'follow your mother.' On the same day of the month on .which she died he would pare his room all night, keeping a bright light burning and--'" muttering strangely.'-. -That night he retired to his room, bidding all good bye. in the morning he was found sleeping peacefully, calmly, but it was tho sleep of death. A small phial marked 'Pnl. moiphia Bulph., one quarter grain,' told the story, and a coroners jury said it was suicide by poison. He ex plained iu a note, which was found by his daughter where he had left it close to his bedside. It stated that he could not live long er. He said that a woman assist ed by another party ,had poisoned hlsivife. The wbman liearer with the inurder lives in Brook ljfrfNY!.h. Owing to the dread of scandal by ,,wepthy relatione, tho matter dropped for tho time, bnt Ellen Louiso (or Lnln Morri luer) has never pyeii tup,,jhe struggle Jor justice, ana the re mains will soon be exhumed and perhaps ' a criminal brought to justice. 4 Thk Ceops of thk Uniteu States.

The greatest gain has been in Tennes see. Connecticut, and New York ; the lot-s is greatest in Ohio," Mis souri, and West Virginia, with a material decrease also in Mary, land, Illinois, and Indiana.
