Unable to Choose a Husband.
Pittsburg, Penn., Aug. 6. —Misa Mary Hudson, an accomplished young woman of twenty, whose father is a wealthy coal operator, committed suicide at Danville, Va., yesterday by takiug laudanum. She bad a large number of admirers, among them being a preacher and a lawyer. She became despondent because she could not decide upon the man she wanted. She left a note stating that she preferred death to the risk of making a mistake in the seleotion of a husband. Before taking the fatal dose she had made an elaborate toilet and placed several bunches of fragrant flowers in her room. One hand of the dead girl grasped a bouquet of roses.
