A LIBELOUS LENDER.
Mrs. Bloomfield Moore Finds Trouble
in Collecting Society Loan.

"A case Of criminal libel in which both the
plaintiff and defendant are Americans, is in
progress in London. The plaintiff is q Phila-
delphian, John Arthur Chandos, who went to
London few years ago with Mrs. Ralston, the
widow of the president of the California bank,
who committed suicide. Mr.. Chandos had left
his wife and children at Philadelphia Col
Hughes-Hallett introduced him into his own
home, and also to Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, o
wealthy and aged widow, of Philadelphia, who
was at the time engaged in q quarrel with
her son-in-law, Baron Won Bildt, the Swed-
ish envoy at Rome, on the subject Of the
guardianship and care of her daughter,
who was mentally affected at the time
Mr.. Chandos interested himself in the quar-
rel, and promised to devote himself to
the futherance of Mrs. Bloomfield MoOre's
views in the matter. Shortly afterward Mrs
give him $l00 year for his services in tax
ing care of her property if he would send to
Philadelphia for his wife and children. 1t ap-
pears from the testimony produced in court
that at the time when Col Hughe. Hallett got
into the difficulties which led to his expulsion
from a country house and to his subsequent
withdrawal from political life, his wife, Mrs.
Hughes Hallett, who was Miss Emily Schom-
berg Of Philadelphia, persuaded Mr.. Chsndos
to visit Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, who was at
Nice at the time, and to obtain loan from
her. Mr.. Chandos obtained about e4.50O for
the Halletts, who seem to have been very
hard pressed at the time, and about SIC. 600
for himself from Mrs. Moore. No security
was given for the loan and it has never
been repaid. Soon after this Mrs. Bloomfield
Moore received some letters accusing Mr.
Chandos OF being swindler and making all
kinds Of other charges against him. These let
tiers Mira Moore declared that she sent on to
Mrs: Hughes Hallett, because IL was through

NEW CARPETS AT THE Posr OFFICE DEPART
the summer months the floor in
the Office of the Postmaster General has been
covered with mating, which gave the room
cool appearance. A breadth Of brown linen
with a red border covered the portion of the
floor in front Of the entrance to the Post
master Generals room. so as to protect
the mating from the constant tramp Of the
army OF Office seekers. There is slight lull
in the rush Ct callers at the Post Office depart
ment, and advantage has been taken of it to
replace the mating with new carpet
which has been put down on the ante room of
the Postmaster Generals room and on his
office floor and the floor Of his private room.
The two rooms occupied by Gen. Clarkson, the
first assistant, have also appeared in a new
winter dress and the suite Of rooms
occupied by the second assistant, Col Whitfield,
have been improved in the same way. When
the members of Congress come to town
they can see what is new in carpets by coming
to the Post Office department. The taste Of
Chief Clerk Cooley is displayed in the solution
of most of the carpets.

Bleak House.

Flashes of lightning, peals of thunder,
and the sullen rainfall upon the roof of the
opera house was fit accompaniment of the
grand play, founded upon the fiction of one
of the masters-a fiction that is true to life.
Its characters will never be forgotten, and
there they were last night, real presence in
flesh and blood--the quaint, the curious,
the comic and the tragic-all intermingled.
The rain fell without ceasing on the tiles,
but the miserable weather had not limited
the audience, nor did it limit the power of
the players. Miss Jane Coombs in the dual
role of Lady Dcdlock and Hortense achieved
the greatest triumph of her life. Mr.. Clark
as Tulkinghorn, Miss Vislaire as Sweet
Esther Gummerson, and Little 10" who
must ''move on" in every city. from pillar
to post, until he can move no more! Those
who have not read Bleak House should do
so at once. Ii Is a work necessary to a COM
plete education. Krook, his rag and bottle
den, the ghosts walk, the flight, the death
and the falling snow, the misery of after
life gazing back at the skeleton, the dignity,
the grandeur, the squalor, and the burning
years of youth flung back, with disgrace
stalking and the commonplace mingled with
the infinite. Bleak House has 1t all. 1t is
wonderful play, perfectly acted. -Cincin-
