genial manners made him we'll liked and
brought him a profitable business Not n
little OF his success was due. 1t is said,
to the admirable tact and management
OF his wife, n nne-looking. matronly woman.
who carefully attended to the comfort OF the
guests and presided over tho cuisine. Mr.

about year 6go they lived happily and pros

OF an application for divorce. based on an ac-
cusation Of Whites alleged intimacy with n
woman living in the hotel Counter uflldavits
were filed. and n legal contest followed that was
marked by excessive bitterness. Mr.. Whites
arrest was caused by his wife. and he was im-
prisoned for several months. Mrs. White got
