MBS. ROBERT SEAMAN
THAT IS NOW THE LEGAL NAME OF
THE FAMOUS NELLY BLY.
Ue Warn Horn Cochran, Christened Eliza
beth, and Her Marriage to a Wealthy
Old Man Surprised Her Friend Her
Enterprising Career.
The unexpected marriage of Nelly
Bly has interested a great many persons.
It has nov r been said cf this young
woman that she is a prodner-r of litera
ture, and ic is hardly likely that she
her se If has ever claimed to bo, bnt be
yond question her name is today as -widV
ly known in the United States as that
of any other vroman writer, perhaps as
that of any writer of either sex.
This has come abon t through a variety
of causes, of which one has been oppor
tunity. But opportunity has not been
more potent in making her name known
than havo her own industry, enthusi
asm and ability to reach the sympathies
of her readers. All these things, togeth
er with a ready ingenuity, the power
to suggest and the willingness to under
take the unusual, have combined in her
behalf. But of all the unexpected pen
formanr".s that have figured in her life
MBS. UOBEKT SKA. MAN ( NELLY BLY).
her marriage at this time, and to the
man who has become her husband, seems
to have most surprised her friends and
associates. She is somewhere in the
neighborhood of 30, 'tis said, while Rob
ert Seaman, the bridegroom, is 72.
Nelly Bly was born Cocliran and
christened Elizabeth. Cochran's MilLs.
a small settlement in Armstrong coun
ty, Pa. , is her native place. There her
father owned the mills which gave the
locality its name, though ho was no
miller, but a lawyer, at one time filling
the associate judgeship of Armstrong
county. He died when she was a child,
and his estate became much involved in
litigation. The daughter's health was
poor during most of her childhood's
years, and because of this she was taken
out of school in 1881 and thereafter de
voted much time and attention to horse
back riding, becoming undoubtedly the
best equestrienne in Armstrong county.
After a time, having tliree brothers
who resided in Pittsburg, she removed
thither with her mother. At Pittsburg
she began to write, first penning a re
ply to an article in the Pittsburg Dis
patch entitled "What Are Girls Good
For?" Though this was not published,
the editor of the paper sought her out
and assigned the subject of "Girls and
Their Sphere" to her for a paid contri
bution. Her now famous nom de plume..
Nelly Bly. did not appear, however,
until her second article, on "Divorce,"
was printed. The signature was suggest
ed by the managing editor of the paper,
who got it from the well known song.
For The Dispatch she did "society" and
"dramatic" and made a trip to Mexico.
About 10 or 11 years ago she removed to
New York in search of a wider field.
When she applied for work to the
managing editor of The World, she pro
posed that she should be sent aloft in a
balloon, but this was overruled, and she
was directed to be locked up as an in
sane woman in the city :isylum. Her
description of a woman's experiences in
a balloon might have made very inter
esting reading, but certainly could not
havo attracted the attention produced by
her account of the abuses she witnessed,
and of which she was one of the victims,
in the asylum. After the publication
of that story, which was undoubtedly
instrumental in bringing about many re
forms in the treatment of the insane, all
was comparatively plain sailing for
Miss Cochran. She was at once placed
upon the regular staff of the paper, and
its readers soon learned to watch its col
umns closely for articles signed with
her pen name. No subject or personage
was too difficult or exalted for her pen,
no investigation seemed to be above her
or beneath her. and the quantity of copy
-he turned out was beyond the produc
ing capacity of most men writers, let
alone that of journalists of the fair sex.
Undeniably the achievement which
contributed most to her fame was her
trip around tho world, undertaken to
show that Jules Verne's romance
Around the World In Eighty Days"
was within rather than an exaggeration
of the possibilities. She started on this
journey on Nov. 14, 18S0, and completed
it in 72 days 6 hours 1 1 minutes and
1 4 seconds, and her progress from point
to point was closely watched by the
world at large.
Rolxrt Seaman is a rich nam a man,
who. despite his advanced age. has still
the reputation of being a shrewd, keen
business man, a man with hosts of
friends. For many years he was engaged
in the grocery business in New York,
and though he has now retired from that
branch of mercantile life he is still ac
I ive in various enterprises, including a
bank, iron works, etc. He is a direct
descendant of the famous Dr. Valentine
Seaman of Long Island
The groom has a handsome city resi
dence and a fine country house a few
miles up the Hudson.
