She was born at Cochranes Mills, a settlement In Armstrong county. Pa. Mr. Cochrane died without making a will while his daughter was yet a child, and his estate became involved in litigation, which is still going on. When Miss Cochrane was old enough to leave home she was sent to a boarding school at Indiana, Pa., where she remained until 1881. Having three brothers in the rubber business at Pittsburg, she moved there with her mother, and it was there her first newspaper work was done. This occurred through her seeing an article in the Pittsburg Dispatch entitled What Girls Are Good For. She wrote a reply, addressed to the editor, and although her article was not published, a tparagraph appeared in the paper the next day asking the name of the writer of the communication When this had been sent to the editor he asked Miss Cochrane to write an article on the subject of girls and their spheres in life for the Sunday Dispatch. This was the beginning of her journalistic career. Her second article was on divorce, and at the end of this article appeared for the first time the world famous signature Nellie Bly. Miss Cochrane assumed it at the suggestion of the man-editof the Dispatch. She made a trip to Mexico 'for the Pittsburg paper and also edited the society and dramatic departments, but seeking a wider field, she went to New York and V came associated with the World, fier sensational doings have since attracted When the Chicago general attention.
