Americans Who Are Playing Higl, and
Losing Vast Sums of Money.
MONTE CARLO, Jan. 24.-An exciting scene
Casino just before the hour of closing last
night. The hero of the occasion was Harry
Rosenfeld, of Chicago. Some time ago
Rosenfeld inherited. it is said, q million
dollars from bis uncle, Michael Rose,
of San Francisco, and at present is assdu-
ously following the number seventeen at
roulette. On two occasions during the
week he succeeded in calling his favorite
number twice IN succession, with q max
imum placed not only on one number but
all around the table. On the second of
these occasions, which was last night,
Rosenfeld won $4,000 ut each coup. but
during the remainder of the week lost the
money, and it is questionable whether on
the total of the play he comes out winner.
w. X. Vanderbilt is also playing heavily,
but in a much less ostentatious fashion.
He last O,O00 this week.
There was moro serious cause of excite
ment last night, the first indication
of which was given by an uproar
in the vestibule. A gentleman whose
pocketbook had been stolen succeeded in
catching the thief with the article in his
pocket. The thief was hustled out of the
Casino after the pocketbook and its con-
tents had been restored to the owner, but
on being searched the delinquent was
found to be Ill possession of no less than
fourteen pocketbooks and twenty letters
ready to be registered, containing total
amount exceeding 100000 francs. The dis
covery produced great sensation, and tho
thief WAS escorted to the frontier to take
his trial at Nice. Many complaints have
been made of thefts of this character, both
in the rooms and ut the table, and it is uni
versally agreed that the class Of people fire.

SHE HAD LOTS OF DUPEs.
Tho Death Of = Somewhat Notorious
Woman In Boston.


BosroN, Jan. 2O.-Tho death OF Mrs.
Sarah II. Howe In this city recalls her
notorious swindle, tho Womnn's Deposit
bank. Death was caused by paralysis.
For three months she had been living in q
boarding house, carefully keeping her
identity from those whom she met. Hhs
kept her household from starving by telling
fortunes.
The Women'a Deposit bank, OF which
Mrs. Howe was the ostansiblo head, was
of moderate means. Even 30 shrewd q
woman as Gail Hamilton was so COM
pletely deceived that she recommended her
friends to invest their money In IL. Its
career began in 1882. Invitations were OK
tended to unmarried women Of small means
to invest in the bank, no more than S1,0O0
and not loss than $500 being received. No
married woman or man could become a de-
positor. In return they were to receive
eight per cent per month, payable quar-
teT,y, the first payment of interest to bs
made In advance. At the end Of the year.
il will be seen, the depositor Of 800 would
receive in interest $l04, and for some time
many persons did receive this income.
To all inquiries made by inquisitiyC
women came Il reply that a nunber OF be-
neyolent Quakers, wishing TO benefit women
OF humble means. had made Mrs. Howe
the custodian of this charity, and that they
were paying the interest out Of their own
pockets without depending on the money
deposited to make any return. Women in
| the highest circles Of society III Boston and
other cities fairly begged to be permitted to
participate in the benefits. Large sums
of money poured into the lap of Mis-.
| Howe.
The swindle was finally exposed. Mrs.
Howe was arrested and convicted Of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses, the
wealthy Quakera being myths. She was
sentenced to three years in the house OF
correction and served her sentence. After
her release she opened a bank again, but
ting into @ troubIe @ i With the a authorises, she shs
drifted back to Boston. At the height OF
her career sho lived sumptuousIy, and had
horses, carriage and servants. She was
very deaf. almost blind. and gave no lndi-
cations of the great ability necessary to
plan and successfully carry on o great
swindle. It was this fact that led to the
belief that she was the tool Of designing
persons. a&#&&&i $@@8

the difficulty might be arranged. Judge

United States did not wish to humiliate
Chill. Don Carlos Walker Martinez to-
night expressed deep regrets that the Chi

official information from Washington.
note was made upon Egan he was told a
letter in regard to the subject would be
sent the American legation. The
promised letter was not sent. On the
contrary the Chilian government cabled
Montt it's minister, at Washington TO de-
mand the recall of Egan because he was
persona. non gratia. Blaine's reply to the
demand for Egan's recall was delivered yes
tefday. Instead Of being an instruction
to Egan to return home, it in
structed the American minister to
deliver the ultimatnna.of the United States
to the Chilian authorities. Minister Egan
is instructed, if the demand of the ultl-
mntum is not complied with at once, to
sever diplomatic relations with the Chilian
government.
The Chilian public is not aware of the
gravity of the present situation, nor does it
