the best. and With due care any number can

and somewhat simpler ways for private

THAT KILLING MOUSTACHE.
A.C0ndding Widow Marries 'sCount OF t
German Empire."

German Empire.'
Prom the Gazette Philadelphia Special.
Count Arnett Anderson, as he called
himself. who was about to become the hus-
band of Mrs. Nordell, the widow of a we'll
known florist of Long Branch, suddenly
left her and her children in New York on
Thursday; last, and has not been heard of
since. He went with two of the children
to the Office of the Transatlantic Steam
ship company to. purchase tickets for the
entire family, who believed that they were
going TO Europe there to reside en- the es-
tate of the count. He sent the children
back, to their mother at the hotel with this
message: Tell mamma that my brother in
Chicago is dead, and that must 20 there
at once. She can go back to Long Branch
or stay at the hotel until I come back"
Mrs. Nordell made active search for An
derson Immediately, but he could not be
found. kilograms have been sent to Eu-
rope and the principal cities of the United
States to intercept him. It seems that since
the death OF Mr.. Nordell, about two years
ago, the business Of supplying bouquets
and cut flowers to the hotels at Long Branch
has been carried on by his widow, and
handsome profits made.
Last season Anderson, who was disguised
as tramp, being, as he said, an exile from
his fatherland. obtained employment at Mr..
Nordells conservatory. He hnd luxuri-
ant black mustache, was nearly six feet
tall had Louis Napoleon face and figure,
with most attractive manners. He helped
Mrs: Nordell to make bouquets, and was
liked BY the girls who came in carriages to
the conservatory to purchase them. Every
body called him the count. Finally he per
suaded the widow to accept his hand in
marriage and relinquish her business and
60 live on his estate in Germany. So Mrs.
Norden leased the gardens for five years
and Rnye the money to the count. He also
collected dl the bills due and got some in
advance: Then be appeared on Ocean
avenue as a count of the German empire,
elegantly dressed and always with n prim-
rose in his upper buttonhole of his driving
coat. Il is said Mrs. Nordell. placed all her
