WANTS SOME FINANCIAL HELP.
An Electric Bath Woman Who Goes in
for Revenue Only.

An Electric Bath Woman Who Goes in
for Revenue Only.
A spinster who lives in this city is not
desirous of doubling Mr.. Northedge's JOYS
and halving his sorrows. She only wants
a share-a small share of his wealth. She
writes:
"Pardon the liberty take of addressing
you. l see by the Papers you have fallen
heir to a vast fortune, also have poor
health; now / thought we might come to
some agreement. l give Electric treat
ment, and baths, and was doing nicely
until the Gripp overlook me, and have not
been able to do much for the last few
weeks, and On getting better find my
business in bad shape for the want of a
few dollars l am about to lose my house
hold goods and cabinet. l thought per-
haps you would be willing to advance a
poor woman money enough to get her out
of trouble"
Is of a Philanthropic Turn.
An Escanaba, Mich, fair one, evidently
believes that riches are a trust. She asks
Mr.. Northedge to address box 3S6, but does
not give her name. She says:
"Dear Sir: In looking through a newspa-
per the other evening found the account
of the wealth left you by your great Grand
father.
Hoping you are charitably inclined and
knowing you cannot take your wealth
with you when you leave this world, l
venture to write and ask you how you
would like to help educate some poor chill
dren with some of your wealth. l think if
every one that has more money than they
need would try and do some good with it
it would make this wicked world some
better. If you answer this will give you
more particulars in my next"
Has to Look Out for Herself
Noting that Mr.. Northedge is bachelor
and believing herself capable of dispensing
comforts to man IN his condition the
writer of the following takes the oppor-
tunity offered by leap year to pop the
question:
"Dear Sir. lsee by the Paper you are
alone and have no Heir or any one TO
share your Fortune with you, or to COM
fort you in your advancing years. am
alone, only A son 13 years of age, am 3S
years of Age. a widow of years: Have
10 House or money Have A difficult time
90 get Along, usually do Dressmaking, but
must not sew much more as my eyes are
Failing fast. Iwould be please to come to
Your place & keep House for you. l am
no Humbug or Slouch. I am simply en-
deavoring to get a pleasant House where
there is a little comfort for me; Would do
all in my power to comfort you. have

SARA BERNHARDT WAKES wRoTH.
She Gives st. Louis Turning Over in
Emphatic French.

Emphatic French.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19.-Sara Bernhardt
reached here in her private car yesterday
morning. Her manager had telegraphed
ahead for a suite of seven rooms at the
Southern hotel, but the managers of that
hostelry were unable to comply with the
request. The divine Sara then agreed to
be content with three rooms, but the ho-
tel people said they could not permit her
to bring her animals with her, and Bern
hardt said that rather than be separated
from her four-footed companions she
would remain in her car. After a two
hours stay at the station she reconsidered
her determination, and entering a cab
drove to the Lindell
Too Long Making Up Her Mind.
Here she was told that her wishes in re-
gard to what she considered suitable apart
ments, could not be granted, and after
rather stormy scene with the Lindell
people Mile Bernhardt re-entered the cab
and returned TO the Southern. She had
evidently wearied of her attempt to keep
her st. Bernard companion with her and
told the hotel people she would accept the
rooms and would not insist on her dog
sharing them with her. During the
divine Sara's cab ride the rooms had been
engaged by other people and the Southern
could not accommodate her.
Wandering Around in the Rain.
Sara's choler, which had been gradually
rising, now reached a point where she
could only find relief in an outburst of the
most emphatic French that has greeted
the ears of the hotel folks in many a day.
She again folded her wraps about her, and
giving the hotel clerk in particular, and
st. Louis hotels in general, a tongue bast
ing in unmitigated Johny Crapaud, once
more entered the cab, and at late nour
yesterday afternoon was wandering about
the streets in the pouring rain seeking
quarters for herself, maid, and st Bernard
dog
