AN OLD STORY.
a Millionaire Falls i'm Love with
Pearl Eyetinge.
The Vaseline King, Chesebrough, Leases Her q
House for Fifty Years for One Dollar, and
Other Valuable Considerations.

Especial to TIE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Sept. 15.-Pearl Eyetinge,
the actress, is pretty well known woman
known man, but that they are pretty well
known to each other is a fact very likely
that most New Workers have heard of be-
fore. In fact New Workers might never
have heard of it but for document that
came to light in the county clerks Office
Sunday. This Office is matter of fact
enough but it recalls so much Of the Luther
B. Marsh-Diss Debar episode that perhaps
it will be as Interesting as the document in
the affairs of those folks which was once in
the county clerks office and came near
meeting the fate OF the owner of the Lex
ington avenue house. The document in
the case OF Miss Eyetinge and Mr.. CHEESE
and ground at 300 East Forty eighth street,
owned by Mr.. Chesebrose, has been leased
by Miss Eyetinge for period of fifty
years for the consideration of 81. The
document was dated and signed by both
parties February 16 last, and was
witnessed by Adam W. Bore. In
case of the destruction of the
property by fire or otherwise, he
directs that the property be rebuilt and
turned over again to Miss Eyetinge. 10
case she does not desire to occupy the
premises she may rent them.
MIR. Chesebrough is millionaire. He is
known as the ''vaseline millionaire" being
president Of the company which enjoys the
monopoly of manufacturing vaseline in
this country. His Office is at No. 240
State street, in the building called by his
name, and largely occupied by agents OF
foreign firms and consuls.

Mormon Converts Pass Through Denver.

DDNvER, Colo, Sept. 15.-[Special tele
gram to THE HERALD. Two hundred En-
glish and Swedish converts to Mormonism
passed through Denver tonight on the
Union Pacific en- route to Salt Lake. The
majority of them are very ignorant and I'M
able to talk English. They were in charge
of three Mormon elders who act as inter
prefers and general business managers.
Three fourths of the party are women.
They will be sent out to various
colonies, but the majority OF them
are bound for ST. Johns, Arizona. The
party was organized at Norfolk, Va, the
restriction at the New York barge Office
rendering it difficult for Mormon elders to
pilot their party through. They find il
easier to evade the law than to attempt to
break it.

STRANGE SIGHTS.
Colonel OlcOtt Says He Has Seer
Several MahamaS.
They Were Remarkably Fine Looking Men
with a Spiritual Glow on Their Faces
He Has Had Letters from Them

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable.l
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Chronicle prints
an interview with Colonel Olcott which is
rather interesting in view of the present
interest manifested here in the theoso-
phical nonsense. Olcott asserts he has
seen several mahatmas, but he instanced
only two occasions on which this boon was
vouchsafed him. They happened once
when he was in deep sleep in India, and
the other time was some years previously
in New York. On each occasion, he says,
the mahatma left letter wrapped in a
silken handkerchief. The letters were
written on cashmere paper, and consisted of
instructions relative TO thsosophy. Colonel
Olcott has not seen Mrs. Besant's letter
nor has she seen his. The mahatma's let
tiers, according to Colonel Olcott's story,
have been written on all kinds of paper,
sometimes on letters of other correspon-
dents inimical to theosophy. The writing
sometimes is woven in the paper, resem-
bling watermarks in appearance. Colonel
Olcott himself does not claim to possess the
power with which the late Mme. Blavatsky
is alleged to have been endowed. Nine.
Blavatsky, says Colonel Olcott, was not a
mahatma, and could not be, because she had
d strong human side to her character. She
nevertheless, had the result power, of which
he has seen her give many proofs-some-
times she produced the sound of bells and
at other times she would bring showers of
roses from the outside of an Indian palace
through the root into the room where she
was sitting. She could also produce por-
traits of people who were at a distance from
her, and whom she had never seen bodily,
but only spiritually. 1t is mistake, says
! Colonel Olcott, TO suppose that all mahat-
Indian. knows lc
an Italian and an other is a Hungarian.
while a third is an Englishman, although he
is lot in England now. The mahatmas
whom Colonel Olcott has seen are remark.

on their faces.

Old Commercial Advertiser Building Burned

NEW YORK, Sept. ia fire broke out
in the old Commercial Advertiser building
at 915 this morning. In fifteen minutes
the flames were beyond control. Many
people were in the building, and some Of
them had to slide down the fire escape
through dense smoke. 1t is believed all
escaped. From the first twas seen nothing
could save the building, and attention was
directed to saving adjoining property.
There were numerous narrow escapes.
John Gibbs, who was on the second floor,
came down the fire escape 30 rapidly his
clothes were torn and his hair singed.
There was considerable scarcity of water
at the commencement Of the fire. At 10 &c
the fire was under control. A few minutes
later the outer walls Of the entire Fulton
front fell with crash, and so great was

Brotherhood OF RAILWAY TraInmen Trnstees.

GALEsBURG, H., Sept. 15.-To-day the
old board of trustees of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen discharged by the grand
master applied to Judge Glenn at Mon
mouth for an injunction restraining the
new board from interfering with the old
board in the examination of the books and
accounts of the brotherhood. This action
resulted from the refusal of Grand Secre-
tary Sheeban to recognise the old board
and his intention to place the books in the
hands of the new board. The bill alleges
among other things the grand master under
the constitution has no right to appoint
trustees when such Offices were not legally
vacant, that the ola members were legally
elected at regular convention and never
had been legally daposed. A temporary in
junction was issued. Mr.. Sheeban asserts
his refusal to allow the old board to exa
inc the books is based on the belief that
they have been rightfully discharged.

the facts naturally decline to talk,
but the general impression seems to be that
the societies mentioned will not benefit so
greatly from Mr.. Astor'r wealth this year
as they did last year. The Astor library
and its operations are, of course, supposed
to be an object of special and peculiar in
terest to the Astor family. The strangest
feature of the entire story is that MIR.
Astor, it is claimed has given the most I'M
doubted evidence of indifference as to the
future of the library 1t is pointed out in
the first place that although the
library as it stands now is the
most complete library in the country
and with his additional assistance would be
enabled to approach place alongside the
libraries of the old world, Mr.. Astor ig-
nores its very existence and goes abroad,
after having made the statement to num-
Der of friends that one of his chief reasons
for doing so is that he has literary work to
prosecute and wishes practically to live at
the library of the British museum.

W. W. Aston VIII Become an Englishman.


Ispecial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-It is said by PEG
pie in New York credited with being in the
confidence of William Waldorf Astor, that
the millionaire has finally and irrevocably
reached the determination Of establishing
his residence permanently in England. He
will never return to this country, it is
added, except on VISIT and precisely as
an Englishman would. Vague rumors to
this general effect have been circulated
during the past year, but no confirmation
of their truth could be obtained. The pres
ent announcement seems to have every
warrant of authority. The information
comes more or less directly from Mr. Astor
himself, and from letters written by Mrs
Astor to friends in this country.
The mere rumor that Mr.. Astor had
taken up his residence abroad created some
uneasiness among various charitable asso-
Citations in New York which depend for
their working capital on voluntary contri-
BUTTONS. In many cases, simply to test the
matter, societies have addressed circulars
to Mr.. Astor in London, although no pre-
vious subscription had ever been previ-
ously received from him. The two socie-
ties in New York to which William Wal
dorf Aston and his branch of the family
have been most liberal, are the children
and charity organization. The peo-
ME who are in possession Of

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 15.-Judge Rainey

the school children in particular, taking
their picnic and repairing to the grove
where amusements will be INDUCED in,

in this matter. H. @.
