The Late mednme rtessoii.


A sensational rumor was telegraphed
over tho wires few nights after the
suicide of Madame Rcstell, the abor>
ZIONIST of New York, to the effect that
Restell had hoaxed justice and the
public in n very nstute manner. The
rumor was that she had substituted the
body of a woman resembling herself,
bought up the many persons surrounds
ing her, and while the ooroner's jury
were holding an inquest over the SUPP
posed remains, was fast leaving the
shores of America behind. 1t is asserts
ed that her immediate family were
taken into her confidence and did all in
their power to further her scheme, that
the servants really believed that the
body found in the .bathptub was that of
their mistress, and under that supposi>
ton gave their testimony before tho
coroner's jury in good faith, The disN
connecting of the burglar alarm, tho
statement that she il credited with
making, that she dreaded the approach
of the hour of two, and the parting
between her and her relatives the night
before, were looked upon as only blind
covering the preparations for flight.
But the authorities have set to rest the
uncertainty about the end of this nos
torious female, by exhuming the corpse,
and pronouncing to the satisfaction Of
every one that she is actually dead.
There has been considerable gush over
the suicide of this woman, named Mrs.
Lehman, alias Restell. The whole SUR
ronndings of the self~murderer were
tragic and dramatic enough to have
been taken bodily from a novel by
Eugene Sue, but, after all, when these
are stripped away the whole business is
simply and atrociously horrible, and
bears upon it the impressions OF the art
of woman whose strong mentality and
physicalty we're finally oyertopped by
concatention of circumstances that
promised to encircle the poor wretch in
II legal web from which she prob~
ably could never have escaped. But
it is a question whether Madame
Restell was entirely to blame for the
life she, led and the nefaricus means
she employed to amass a wealth that
will now do her no good. She was sins
ply one of the natural products of the
conditions of modern society. There
are many Others like her in New York
and other large cities, and that she rose
to greater prominence and atiluence
than they is due to the fact that she
had better business capacity and better
understood the means of imposing upon
the credulity says New York paper.
of her sex. She has frequently asserted
that for the last twelve years the pills
and nostrums she has given to her dupes
have been harmless. That these dupes
continued to flock to her showed that
they were guilty as she, in their desire
to avoid maternity. 1t is also rather
remarkable that the great majority of
these people como from the Weather
classes.
