Gladys Evelyn's Suit Against
William Henry Hurlbert.
ALLEGED BREACH OF PROMISE

Disprovai of the scandaious Charges
brought Against the Ex-ownor of tho
New York World by n London Advent
uress-Hurlbert's Career.
The literary and political circles OF Lon.
don were recently stirred to their centers
by breach Of promise case in which an
actress named Gladys Evelyn was the
plaintiff and Mr.. William Henry Hurlbert,
formerly editor and proprietor of the New
York World, the defendant. The hearing
of the suit occupied several days, and the
evidence was Of a decidedly sensational
character. According TO the story of Miss
Evelyn, who is fine looking, buxom wo.
man of some thirty years, she met Mr..
Hurlbert in an omnibus, and they imme-
diately began silent Irritation. Her
heart was in wild flutter Of excitement
when she alighted from the vehicle and
discovered that her unknown Faust" was
following her. She felt that she would
really like to know the gentleman, and
that feeling overcame her scruplcs and in.
duced her to go through the ceremony OF
self introduction on his part. After the
ice was broken in this fashion "betrayap
followed. Mr.. Hurlbert promised mar
riage, but after repeated evasions confessed
that the name OF Wilfred Murray, which
he is said TO have assumed during the in
trigue, was false, and that he was n mar
ried man. Then, by way of reparation, he
promised her 81, coo cash and $3.50 year
for life. This money was not forthcoming
however, and on discovering the real name
Of her betrayer she brought this suit for
damages.
in defense Mr. Frurltert entered com.
piete denial, and charged the plaintiff with
n gross and wicked attempt at blackmail.
1t was utterly untrue, he declared, that he
had ever passed under any other name than
his own. Formerly, however, he employed
a person named Wilfred Murray as his

red veil reaching to her feet, led her from
the house to the residence of Owyang King,
the Chinese consul. The building was
gayly illuminated with lanterns, and in
the middle of the walk leading TO the door
n small bonfire of scented woods was burn
ing. Lille over whose head was held a
gorgeous umbrella, was carried through
the burning embers, and loud explosion
of flrecrackers followed. She was then
conducted to richly decked chamber and
again left alone.
At that time Owyang King was feastinR
in the most extravagant style with city
merchants at neighboring restaurant.
A messenger interrupted the festivities,
and told him he was wanted at the con-
sulate on business ofimportance.
Mr.. King left the feast Immediately, ac-
companied by several friends. At the door
of the consulate he was met by five friends
of the Tin 10y family, who conducted him
with great ceremony to the room where
Lille sat yelled. She was now supported
by four married women. Mr.. King ap-
preached the young lady and raised her
veil. Then written contract was read,
and Mr.. King and Miss Tin 10y were told
that their friends had decreed they should
become man and wife. Neither seemed to
be taken by surprise, however, and they
pledged their troth in wine, served in
silver tankards connected by piece of red
ribbon.
This is the first official Chinese wedding
in the United States, and it was conducted
as related, in strict accordance with old
time customs of the Celestial empire. The
bride is well educated young lady and an
accomplished musician and artist Owyang
King is thirty-one years old and a graduate
of Yale. He was assigned to the consulate
of New York in 1888, and went to San
Francisco as vice consul in 1885, He holds
fourth rank in the service.

Thrnmlnn. Rira.

Throwing rice after departing bridal
pair is a custom as old as popular. A
pleasant fashion has been for little time
in vogue of inclosing small portions of rice
in bags made Of japanese crepe paper, and
passing these to the guests. When the
couple are leaving the house these are
lightly thrown, the paper breaks, and q
small shower of rice 10 scattered in much
more agreeable fashion than by the old
method. The bags can be made quite orna-
mental. If it is to be pink wedding, deli
cate pink crepe paper, tied with tiny pink
or white ribbon, can be used. Or the bags
may be tied with two colors and passed
around in wide, shallow baskets, which
should be tied with handsome bow Of
satin ribbon.-New York Ledger.

impulse took her to her mothers arms
where she sobbed out her tale Of grief and
despair. The next day Fred sought his lit

her infatuation and returned. Instead he
discovered her pitiful, heartbroken letter.
Realizing his mistake, and believing him
self responsible for his wife's suicide, he
procured some Paris green, swallowed it

by the pains Of arsenical poisoning attract

to a hospital and filed with antidotes.
Ella heard of his rash act and rushed to
his side. Mutual explanations were fol-

well and had apologized for his attempt at
suicide to police magistrate the reunited
couple went home hand in hand and re-
began their honeymooning.

IDA sHADDocK.

Folly is not without subjects even in
these days of so called level headedness
and common sense. Throughout the worlds
history the sentimental heart has fought
against the sensible brain in the Journeys

conquered. Generally the happiest results
have ensued, but sometimes victory has
brought in its train disaster, shame and
misery unutterable.

her journey home against his advice, per
sisting that she was strong enough to un.
dertake the trip. Fellow passengers, how.
ever, came forward and testified that Hall
must have known she was dying, as she
was semiconscious when he assisted her to
n seat in the car.
At this point John McCarville, who is q
railway engineer, took u hand in the search
for facts. Half distracted with grief he in
sisted on the absolute purity of his dead
sweetheart, and only gave up his belief
when confronted by the most oyerwhelm
ing proof to the contrary. But in face Of
all the evidence he sought to shield her
good name, while at the same time trying
to secure the punishment of those he
thought responsible for her death. His
course was resented by DR.. Hall, who with
his son lured the young engineer into a
room and gave him a terrible beating. The
physician claims that Miss Shaddock vol
unfairly placed herself in his charge after
being treated elsewhere, and that he is in,
nocent of any act Of criminality or inhu
manity The case seems to be very com.
plicated one, and the truth may never be
known. AS it stands, the girl has died a
shameful death, her medical attendant is
in trouble, her lover is half crazed with
grief, and her stalwart fathers heart is
nearly broken.

society has appointed an executive

class of Hebrews from Liba and

are engaged in this work, and
it is calculated that 10000 Jews

is being inundated with them. The
alarm among the laboring classes is in
creasing daily, because the newcomers
will work for almost nothing and so
throw native worlxmen out of employ

favor Of following the example of the
American immigration law or even one
still more restrictive will soon assume
