AT IT AGAIN.
Mrs. Lillian scofield Looms Up Again in
Court.

N-No-%N-N- --~c~~-S -
Court.
NEW YORK, February Dist Mrs. Lillian
Sco6eld, the ex-Californian, who played
such notorious part in the death of broker
Hatch a couple of years ago, has again
turned up in Court. This time she is ac-
cused of attempting tc extort money from
one of her dodgers.
1t was thought that after she escaped
from the tolls of the law in the Hatch case
she had left the city, but it appears
now that she went up town and opened a
lodging house and advertised for victims
Among them was H. II. Bowers, who
makes complaint against her. In her ad-
veriisement Mrs. Scofield appears as Mrs.
Sherwood. She stated that mamma and
herself owned large house and wanted a
few men around to protect them. Their
terms were very reasonable. Neither man.
ma nor herself cared for money; they
wanted company.
Bowers got his room at S. week and
paid several weeks in advance, but soon
discovered that this guileless daughter had
way of prowling around the house at
night and screeching passages frum Mac
BETH and other OF Shakespeare's plays.
She was sympathetic soul, and she wrung
the dollars from him easily by telling him
of the death of her mother in Connecticut.
At last he announced that he would leave
and did so, but before going Mrs. Scofield
presented him with bill for something
like 5000, with items like this Six din
ners, with wine, $50 each, $3.50; care DUR
ing four weeks illness, $214; TO value of
books borrowed and not returned, $50.
Bowers was somewhat puzzled, as be had
never had wine suppers and had never
been sick. When he said he wouldn't pay
the bill Mrs. Soofeld took all his pictures
and then locked him in his room 80 tnat
he had to crawl out of the window.
Brother-in law Ferris is wanted also.

GRANTS ROOM.
Historical Apartment Reserved in
the Stewart Mansion.

Historical Apartment Reserved in
the Stewart Mansion.
New YORK, February 21st.-Now that the
Stewart mansion at Fifth Avenue and
Thirty fourth street is to be turned over to
the Manhattan Club for clubhouse, it
has been discovered that there is one
sacred room in the mansion. This room
is on the second floor on the avenue side
Ii was originally furnished in 1876. The
original outlay for furnishing was $50 000
This magnificent apartment was fixed up
for Ulysses S. Grant, then in the first year
of his term as President of the United
States. 1t will be recalled that General
Grant sent A. 7. Stewart to the Senate for
confirmation as Secretary of the Treasury.
1t was then discovered that the Consfitu-
ton would not permit an importer to- take
this place in the Cabinet, but Stewa3 =
preciating the Presidents desire to honor
him, became from that moment fArmer
than ever friend of Grants.
This room in his mansion was furni6hed
for the use of the President. No matter
how crowded the house might be no per-
son except Grant was TO have the use of it,
even for a moment. A latch-key to the
mansion and the keys to the room were
sent to him, with the directions that
whenever he wanted to come to New York
and have resting spell this room would
be at his disposal. During the eight years
of Grants term it was refurnished several
times, and when General Grant made his
home in New York he still used it on oc-
casions This room was not opened till
yesterday, when committee of the Man
haitian Club inspected the mansion. 1t
was found just as General Grant left it
when he occupied il for the last time. 1t
had been kept as sacredly as though he
were liable to use it at a8y moment.
Now the Democrats will shuttle over its
velvet carpets and blow their clouds of
tobacco smoke in the room where the
famous smoking President enjoyed his

figure.

Secretary announced that at noon t6-mor-
row all the interested parties could procure
printed slips of all the bids.
