CINCINNATI, Sept. l3.-Vera Ava

cunning dramatic episode, or the
victim of cruel outrage. There
is strong disposition here
to regard her as Miss Dis DE Bar. sail

of New York, who knows Dis De Bar,

The Associated Press from New York
last night gave description of the real

means repulsive countenance. De

coarse. This woman is neither
large nor coarse. Their height
does not correspond. The woman
says she weighs POO pounds, and is
willing to prove it by going on the
scales. She looks as if she might
weigh 230 pounds. De Bar is described
as weighing 2S5 pounds. To q associated
press reporter, late this evening, she
secuted the De Bar theory. and said:
witnesses Will settle that. Every
person whc knew De Bar will, on see

woman. Furthermore, there is a
surer, more reliable test than human
testimony that | am not that woman De

ESTATES OF a DEAD PEER.
The Duke of Cleveland and the
Acres He Was Lord Over.

| London Truth.
The late Duke of Cleveland possesSe
immense estates and vast wealth, aud
the whole of his property was at his
own disposal. He always lived in
great state, and particularly at Rqby,
| where he was quite grand seigneur.
! His Durham estate. which extends over
-, ,SS7 acres. included large portion of
the borough of Darlington, but the land
was sold by him for building purposes
about twenty years ago, as North coun-
try people usually refuse positively to
build on household tenure. The duke
owned the great tithe of Darlington.
Raby is a magnificent place, the castle
dating from the fourteenth century, and
it stands in finely wooded deer park of
thousand acres. Lord Beaconsfeld de-
scribed it as the only place in England.
except Ainwick, which came fully up 10
his ideas of the country seat of "a great
noble" The duke always passed the
autumn at RaDy. He was an excellent
landlord. and there never were any va
cant farms on the Raby estate, the ten
ants, as a rule, having lived on the prol-
erty for generations. No estate has
been more improved. and. in additIo.

and erecting cottrges. miles of land in
Upper TeeSdale, which were formerly
barren moor, have been drained, and 50

ductiYe.
Besides an estate of 25,604 acres i'm
Shropshire the duke owned another or
3,S42 acres i'll NOrthants and another of
1897 acres in Cornwall, while he also
had l,0S5 acres in Devonshre and 4, 7S4
acres in Somersetshire. the last domain
including considerable portion of the
famous Vale of Wrington, and also the
valuable Bathwick property in the citr
of Bath, from which he drew large
rental. These were his family estates;
but, before succeeding tD the dukedom.
he bought the Battle Abbey property of
6,025 acres from Sir Godfrey Vassall.
and the beautiful old abbey became, and
always continued to be, his favorite res
idence.
London World: For some time the
Duke of Cleveland had gradually fallen
out of things. He no longer shot at
Raby or went out to see the shooters.
and last lived entirely at Battle. Until
the spring of this year he received Wis
itorS there and dired with his guests.
bat since then he only came into the
drawing room occasionally after din
ner, and seemed weary aud tired with
eXertion.
There is good story told apropoS of
the dukes sensitiveness as to his testa-
mentary intentions being known. 1t is
said that he made his will last year
anew, giving instructions TO his lawyers
to leave the names and sums of money

Childishness.


Childishness.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Sept. 13.-Kansas
City and Omaha played two games to-
day, Kansas City winning both. The
Omahas seemed to be demoralized, and
played with little spirit. In the fifth
inning of the second game there were
three men on bases, when Gunson
knocked the ball for base hit over the
bag at third base. McGlone wanted it
called foul, but Umpire Wilson would
not nave it that way. McGlone in his
rage threw the ball over the grand
stand, allowing three men to score.
NAT was the only feature of the two
games, II the terrific slugging by both
teams be excepted. Score of first game:

Billiards.

that MaggIoli had consented to play
Will Hatley two match games of balk-
line billiards for Sl25 side, and that
particulars would come by mail: Mr.
Foley telegraphed back Good" But
the letter, when it came. was COM
plete back-down. MaggiOli wrote the
sum was too small and said furthermore
that he could not raise more money else
he would like to play for $3.50 side
each game. This latter Hatley stands
ready to do. and is willing TO post a for
feiture at once, but there seems to be
little likelihood of anything coming out
OF it. One of MaggiolI's reasons. as ne
expressed it, for refusing to play for
only Sl25 side, is that if each won a
game neither would be ahead. But
Hatley wants to know it this principle
will not apply to bigger stakes as well.
