GIN, lNNATI December 1.-The CONNER
cia.-GaLette has a three column account Of
the career OF Mrs. Alice Paige, the wife OF

man OF the Northwest, who was found dead
with bullet wound in the head on March
II. l~-2, in his room in the Davenport
Iowa hotel. She is attempting to realize
on his will. and his brother has had her
career looked up ny dective. Years ago
a woman named Libby was left widow in
Davenport, Iowa, with TWO girls, Laura
and Mary. The girls peddled pop in
the streets, and the woman with whom
this story has TO deal was known as Pop
Mary" The father had patented a cure-all
called Raven. OIL and the widow adver-
tised for some one to sell it, William E.
Fagar, of Indianapolis, responded and af-
terward married Mary. They soon sep
arated, and the girls and their mother came
to Cincinnati TO live. The girls obtained
employment at the Grand Opera House as
ballet dancers, where they appeared as the
Pierrepoint sisters, Mary changing her
living on Barr street, Alice read in the
papers of the burning OF the Beckwith
House in Oshkosh, Wis, and how Simon
Paige. a man of great wealth, offered 5000
to any one who would save his wife. She
was rescued by fireman, but died soon
after, and Paige refused to pay the reward.
Alice read everything she could lind about
this man, and finally wrote gushing let
ter to him, saying she was an ol6 friend OF
his dead wife and nothing would give her
so much plee sure SIS to become the COVER
ness OF his children. The rich man wrote
back thsnkipg her for her sympathy, but
saying be had no children.
Nothing dsunted, Alice wrote again, re-
cailig. incidt nts in the life OF Mrs. PaiGe
whiN She had taken from the papers.
Paige became interested in her ard wrote
in reply that he should like 20 see so deal
a friend 70 bis late wife. In the mean.
time the family moved to Brooklyn and a
meeting was arranged there. In anticipa
ton OF Mr.. Paige's visit. furniture aud car
pets were bought on credit and were after
wards replevined. Alice represented her
self ss a widow. Paige fell into the trap
at they became engaged. He wanted 10
be MAJ RED at once, but the ballet girl put
HIM oil, saying he ought to wait till his
wife had beer dead two years. In the
meantime she quietly obtained divorce
from Fsgar in the Cincinnati couCt.

3 little stUmpy, ihesded representative
from Colorado, who looks as though he
would much rather start fight than end

finally developed the fact that there was
