SPIRITED AWAY TO 4 CONVENT
MADAME D1ss DBBAR's TROUBLES LEAD HER
FRIENDS TO WITHDRAW HER FROM

THE PUBLIC GAZE.
Madame f. L. DiSs Debar has for the pieson' a"
least disappeared from the public gaze ana VIII se"A
within convents walls refuge from the cares
and troubles of @spookn pricsteSs's le for aDouV
six weeks she had been living at No. 13S "avefV
Place where she rented :he gTound floor from
woman whom she introduced to every one as Mrs'
Parker Hero she made occasional small sums by
giving sitllngs and selling pictures painted by spniI
hands With her eXtravagant tastes, however. Ule
few dollars that she received in this way were
entirely insufficient TO supply her wants. so aoo@
ten days ago she moved 70 No. 81 West Thirty rsts,
in which fashionable neighborhOOd she hoped to ara"
mono numerous and liberal patrons.
1t seemed, however, that the public had grown
tired of her aud her spirit manifestations. and she
did little or 10 business and last Thursday was com
pced 10 leave the house. She did not pay the rent
not having the wherewihal TO do SO. and she fs not
remembered with the kndlest of foengs by her land
lord. She returned to her home in Wavery Place,
but Oh the following day the door was again shown
her, Some adnirer had given her several bottles OF
wine. and although she had hitherto not been lover
of strong drink her load of trouble drove her TO se'k
forgotfulness I'm the wine. Her actions OF late had
been of the most gentle and amable kind anyway,
ard with the added stimulus of her pOtatons she be
came so untractable that Mrs. Parker's son grew
tired of her treatment Of his mother and made her
leave the house.
Some friend, hearing of her plight. took her TO
Brooklyn convent, where she will be ca.ed for As
long as she chooses to stay. Only few people
know to what convent she has bon tahen and they
refuse 10 say which IL Is their object IN send
ing her there was to give her a retreat from the
and comment of the public. Madame Diss Debar IS
Roman Catholic, and has always professed the
stroncSt faith in hor religion. She said that 10
by means OF this and a which she always had
with her that she was able to command the in
habitantS Of the spirit world
Mrs. Parker said yesterday TO Tribune reporter
that she believed that Madame Dlss Dobar was insane
being bounded
Tho madame had her fauls.' continued Mrs. Parker:
she was extravaGant and borrowed money that she
could never pay, and then she He'd terribly. but She
certainly was a remarkable woman Lately there has
been getting along with her. and sometimes she
was worse than others. The truth Of tho matter is
she is of her mind, and H. taking her convent
her friends did the best thing possible for her."

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ARRESTS.
POLICE ENFORCING THE SUNDAY LAW IN GIN.
CINNATI

Cincinnati, July 2s.-This has been a regular field
day with the saloon-keepers and the police. OF the
212 Quor-sellers who met at Turner Hall last week
ALL with the exception OF about forty, tried to keep
open There were abou. $50 arrests. Tho police
had orders to rearrest all who attempted to reopen
after ball gven but there were not more 'han
thirty of this kind BY far the greater part OF
the saloons wero, TO all appearances, closed.
In the suburbs there comparatively htue
trouble as the police had warned the ssloonkeepers
Saturday night not TO keep open to-day Most
Of the arrests made downtown and over tno
Rhine, Eichler who has made himself notorious Dy
his vigorous resistance 10 the Owen law, kept his
saloon open, selling only "soft' drinks. such as
lemonade, mineral water, etc, and was not arrested
Druggists however, were not permitted TO SEN soda
water, lemonade, cigars.
Over the Rhine two or three riots took place this
afternoon At Fifteenth and Vine sts., about o'clock
this afternoon the police undertook to arrest man
for dsorlerly conduct. crowd of 1,5O0, composed
chiefly OF " hoodlums," who infest that neighbor-
hood quickly gathered, and the cry of "Mob the
police! N was raised. The mob set upon the police
with clubs and fists, and one policeman was badly
beaten, his scalp being cut but he was not seriously
injured. About a dozen policeman kept the crowd
back with their clubs while an officer arrested the
man. At Walnut and Twelfth sts at Waifineers
SALON, unsuccessful attempt to resist the police
made. This saloon has always been considered
a rendezvous for Anarchists and Socialists and Is
looked a dangerous place. Three reporters who
went the Rhine this evening to look up matters
were suspected Of being spies, and the crowd dc
manded that they give an account of themselves.
Two OF them gave satisfactory reasons but the third
obliged TO turn and run down Nine-st., followed
BY the mob, and no only escaped serious injury by
being rescued By the police.
Throughout the city the work Of the police has
been admirable. The entire force of the city was on
duty to-day. Most of the men, however. were held
in at the station houses to meet outbreak
The question whether the sunday CLOSING law IS 10
be obeyed not is becoming OF universal interest
People taking one side or the other. but the
great majority among saloon keepers Is In favor
of the strict enforcement Of the law and the greatest
Indignation exists on account OF the rotous proceed
inpS OF the rrl6ian class More saloons have been
closed to-day any previous Sunday since the
attempt was first made TO enforce the law. KissePs
and two other large concerthalls had the lights turned
on tonight but the front closed, and there were
no concerts in the city.
