President Taylor was probably the only
president to whom the presidency was an
uncoyoted and unsought for boon. Mrs.
Taylor was SO averse to public life that it
was said she prayed every night during
his candidacy for his defeat, and when
told of his election said: "Why could
they not let us alone? we are so happy
here. Why do they want to drag us to
Washington" W no that ever saw Gen.
Taylor at ievee could forget him? lie

almost equal TO Rips toast; Here s to
you and your family. May you live long
and prosper!' He hardly ever opened
his mouth without making mistake
and people laughed heartily. Still they
loved him, trusted his judgment, and
knew his heart and hand were true as
STEEL and when he died the whole ma
ton was mourner at his grave.-Ben:

A BRUTAL PROCURESS.
INvEIaLINa YOUNG GIRLS TO CHIcA-
GO UNDER FALSE PRETENsES.
Giving Them over to Cinnamon as
Mistresses - Two Milwaukee White
Women Marry Mongolians and Go
Into This Nefarious Business.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 2.-Some two years
ago two Milwaukee girls, Augusta Fanlow
and Lizzie Donaman, ran away from home
and came to Chicago. They were located
after months search, and IL was discovered
that they had become Mrs. Sun Wah and
Mrs. Lizzie Lee, respectively, and that they
were living with Chinese husbands In
couple OF basement laundries They bad
been duly married, and, 1t appeared, had
left their homes on purpose 10 wed the two
Celestials.
Sun Wnh and his wife are now prisoners
at the Armory, charged with OBTAINING
young girls and forcing them into either
legal or illegal cohabitation with Cinnamon
in the South Clark street colony. They
were arrested on the complaint Of Song Lee,
cook In Chinese restaurant, who reported
that young girl had been detained there by
Mr.. and Mrs. Wah. The girl was Amelia
Reinckc, seventeen years old, who said that
she had been brought from Milwaukee by
her old friend, Mrs. Wah, who promised her
good situation. When she took up her
abode In the Wah laundry, at No. 6lS Blue
Island avenue, she claims her old friend in
troduced her 70 hideous old Monaghan,
who wanted her 10 marry him, a prop
osition she scornfully rejected. Then
she says efforts were made To have her re-
ceiye attentions from other pigtail visitors.
When she refused she WIS sent 10 the base
meni restaurant, where Song Lee and other
Cinnamon and Charles Fanslow, a brother TO
Mrs. Wah, took pity on her and raised q
purse 10 send her back 10 Milwaukee. Sun
Wah quarrelcd with Song Lee over his In.
reference, and In the melee that followed
Lees nose was injured. Then the case was
taken 10 the police.
Amelia Reinckc says Mrs. Wah has been
engaged in procuring wives and mistresscs
for the honthcns ever since her marriage
and that she brought number Of girls from
Milwaukee for such purposes. She cited the
case OF iiftecn-y enr-old girl who had been
induced by threats and other means 10
marry n North llalstead street lhundryInan.
| Charles Fanslow, who has been living
with his sister, Mrs. Wah, for some time,
tells u similar story. Capt. Bartran has de-
tailed officers 10 hunt up some Of the victims
Of the strangely matched couple and will
endcayor 10 land the pair In the pen.
Chinatown was much excited over the ar
rests, several pigtailed husbands with
Mclean wives Hooking 10 the Arnory 10 see
the outcome. Along with them was Mrs.
Lizzie Lee, with whom Mrs. Wah ran away
| from Milwaukee.
