Last year we told you in this
paper something about the Chilt IN
Paints, how they are made from the
best materials that can be bought, how
they are mixed by machinery, and how
we turn out paint superior to any
paint now made. You did not paint
your house last year. Perhaps some
one in your place has used the Chiffon
Paints. Ifyou want to paint this year,
go and ask the man who used the Chill
ton Paint how he liked it, ask him all
about it, how much paint it took, if a
gallon covered as much surface as he
expected, if it was easy to put on, etc.
You can see for yourself how it looks.

Knowndge any bills purporting TO be signed by
my wife. Mrs. David Beasco. DAVID BELASCo.
This aroused the anger Of Mr. and Mrs. Freder-
lex Beasco, perhaps not unnaturay. He said yes
terday that some time last summer David had given
his wife $780, and he had not given either of them
anything since they were not dependent on him
at ALL and he not paying their bills by any
means. AS to his bringing any disgrace on his pa
rents his family. he said that absurd, as his
father and mother had not known anything about
the position OF affairs between him and his brother
Mrs. Frederick Beasco said that David had never
paid any bills OF hers and had never been asked 10
do She quite able to take care of herself.
and had ordered any bill of hers sent to him.
Fred alleges that his brother made some
derogatory statements about his wife, and he ad-
vised her to go and him and induce him 10
desist. He said he thought she would find him at
the Berkeley Lyceum or al the house OF Mrs.
Leslie Carter She went to the Berkeley Lyceuin
and failed to find him, and then went to Mrs.
Leslie Carter's house. in Clinton Pace Mrs.
Carter's mother came downstairs and told her
that Mr.. Belasco not there. She went upstairs.
however and met Mrs. Carter herself, who said:
Mr.. Belasco is not here; go away. Miss Wallace"
and pushed her.
Mrs. Belasco replied: II am not Miss Wallace,
/ Mrs. Belasco."
Mrs. Carter then addressed her by her right
name, but again assured her that Mr.. Belasco
was not there Ii this which occasioned Mrs.
Carers visit to Police Headquarters Saturday.
which was the subject of some speculation at the
time She went to tell Superintendent Byrnes that
she was annoyed by Mrs. Frederick Belasco. and TO
ask protection She visited the Superintendent
again yesterday. presumably with further
relation to the same subject. The Superintendent
is said to have expressed himself unwilling to
interfere in family affairs.
