CHICAGO, June i2S.-The racy scandal
reported from Milwaukee involving a
young Englishman named Sartoris, sup
posed to be identified by marriage with a
prominent American family, and Mrs.
Bush, young English lady, who was rep
resented as living poem of marvellous
beauty of face and form in the shape of a
blonde widow, possesses additional interest
from the fact that the lady in question is
at this time in Chicago stopping at Ire
mont house. The story rejecting very
seriously as it did upon her character
as we'll as that of Mr.. Sartoris, as it was
deemed well to ascertain what she had to
say as to the imputations, reporter
therefore went to the fremont house and
sent up his card. An unexpected answer
was returned that Mrs. B. could be seen in
parlor P. the reporter assembled. The
most liberal Imagination on the basis of
charms claimed for her could not form
anything like a near or just estimate of
her beauty. Tall and willowy, dressed in
plaid, she displayed a form of extraordfn
ary symmetery. Her features are nodded
after the classic, with a slight tendency to
embonpoint. Her hair is very light
and trained in becoming wave
lets, while her eyes are large and
of liquid blue. She was indeed pricture
of womanly beauty.

ask me about that horrible
story from Milwaukee" she be-
gan before an opportunity was given to
make known his mission. "Oh, how could
you be so cruel as to publish such thing?
I am 80 sorry for Mr.. Sartoris that his
name should be used in such manner,
and am sure my husband will go wild"
I have been married three years. My hus-
bands name is Algernon Benton Bush,
and when married him he was an Eng
lish gentleman of wealth. but unfortunate
| ly he has lately met with reverses, and he is
now only in very moderate circumstances.
But how terrible it is to be published in
| the newspapers. Oh what terrible story
| they have sent from Milwaukee,"
An involuntary tremor agitated her
frame for moment, but she overcame the
feeling of reyulsion which remembrance
| of all the bad things said about her
| seemed to cause and continued:
| 1T is as false as anything can be. Ger
| tainly the Mr.. Sartoris who visited me in
| Milwaukee is Mr.. Algernon Sartoris who
married Miss Grant. My husband and 1
| met him in London. He and Mr.. Bush
| were members of the Grarick club, and
| was intimately acquainted with both he
| and Mrs. Sartoris. How absurd to impute
any wrong motives to Mr.. S. in visiting
| me. You will, do hope, contradict that
| vicious libel, won't you, please, for Mr..
| Sartoris' sake, at least! am the daugh-
| ter of Wilton G. Greene of New York, a8d
! when l was sixteen years old I went to Lon
| don. There l met Mr.. Bush and year
| later l married him. Heis sixty five years
old and am now twenty-one. | met Mr.
| and Mrs. Sartoris shortly after my mar
riage. We became quite intimate, and
| this spring Mr.. Bush and decided to come
to America. He wished to invest some
| money in venture that would pay. We
sailed from Liverpool, arriving in New
York about the 9th or 7th of April. Mr..
| AlgernOn Sartoris and his brother
in-law, Mr.. Jesse Grant, sailed on
the same steamer, and with my husband,
my brother Willie and myself, we made
quite merry party. You know Mr..
Sartoris has lumber interests at Green
Bay, and it was partly through his repre-
sentations that Mr.. Bush was prevailed
upon to come west. We remained in New
York only about a week, and as Mr.. B.
had some matters to attend there he stayed
over while Willie, Mr.. Sartoris and 1 came
here. We had previously agreed to settle
in Milwaukee. Mr.. B. had selected Green
Bay because Mr.. Sartoris was located
there, and We all agreed that Milwaukee
would be convenient for Mr.. Bush and
Mr.. Sartoris, and that Mr.. Bush could come
home great deal and Mr.. Sartoris could
| visit US often. We reached Chicago
about the 10Th of April, and we all stop
ped at the fremont Mr.. Sartoris left his
wife in England. At Milwaukee we went
to the Plankinton, and there we remained
until l was joined by my husband, when
| we took a house and furnished If. My
| husband was with me after that all the
| time with the exception of the time he
spent at Green Bay attending to the fishe
| ries. They proved unsuccessful ard he
lost great deal of money. Mr.. Sartoris
came every Saturday night and remained
| until Monday. My husband was there all
| the while, and am sure only vicious persons
| could put bad Interpretation upon that.
People in England visit friends in that
| way and nothing is ever thought of it.
| Mr.. Sartoris only visited Us as a friend,
and it is unnecessary for me to say there
was not the slightest thing that could war
| rant the horrid stories circulated about US.
I hope Mr.. Sartoris will not see it,
'But what caused you to leave Milwau-
kee so suddenly"
Because Mr.. Bush and intend to re-
turn to England at once. He is at present
at Sturgeon Bay, bat will be here Friday
with my brother, who is visiting Mr. Sarto-
ris, who is himself at Green Bay. I had
not seen Mr.. Sartoris for week prior to
leaving Milwaukee"
WAS not your departure capable of
being construed as fiight?"
II do not know" she replied, "what
people choose to call it, had bought the
furniture in my house on credit with the
exception of the parlor suit, which 1 paid
cash for. When my husband lost money
which he complained he was cheated out OF
by Americans, who were associated with
him, we found we could not settle for it.
