AFoRTUNE TELLER,s POWER.
Jealous of Her Husband an Ohio Woman
Sought Queer Relief

FINDLAY, o., April 30.-Mrs. John
A. Maley. the beautiful young vito Of
the head cutter of the Buckeye window
glass factory here, recently became
Jealous of her husband. She consulted
Mme. Rolla, cIaIryoyant, who came
here about six weeks ago. and has
done quite a business with fashionable
ladies.
Mrs. Rollo advised Mrs. Maley 10 go
with her to Chicago to consult famous
magician there, and gained so strong
an ascendency over the young wife that
she agreed to make the trip and take
her jeweIy and plenty OF money with
her. Mrs. Rollo helped her pack her
trunk Saturday, when Mr.. Maley was
at the factory, and the two started for
Chicago.
Simulta neously with the coming here
OF Mrs. Rollo there arrived handsome
Indian doctor calling himself DR.. Burt,
who opened an Office, and proved to be
confederate OF Mrs. Rollo's, though
the two did not appear to be ac-
quaInted.
When the train arrived at Springfield
Mrs. Rollo took possession OF Mrs. Ma
ley's purse and jewe!ry. The latter pro-
tested, when DR.. Burt appeared and as
sured the passengers that Mrs. Maley
was bis sister. and was being taken TO
Chicago for mental treatment. Mrs.
Maley denied this and begged the pas
sengers TO help and protect her.
The police were sent for while the
train waited at Springfield, but the pair
OF villains suddenly disappeared and
with them Mrs. Maley's diamonds and
clothing. She was hysterical with grief
and was tenderly cared for. Thirty
minutes after leaving the train she was
en- route for home, where she arrived at
midnight. She is still In critical con-
dition and cannot explain the nature OF
Mime. Rollo's power over her. but says
she could not help going away. The
affair has caused great excitement here.

THEY ATTEND WORSHIP
The President and His Cabinet Go to
Church in Chicago.
A CHRISTENING AFTERWARD
Demands the Presidents Attend
ance, the Subject Being Secre-
tary Gresham's Granddaugh-
ter-The Duke of Veragua At
tends High Mass-Impressive
Services in His Honor.

CHICAGO, April 3o.-President Cleve-
land and the members Of his Cabinet
attended divine service this morning at
the Second Presbyterian Church, at
Twentieth street and Michigan avenue,
two squares north Of the Lexington Ho-
tel, where, the President is stopping.
Word had been sent that the party
would attend the services, and ar
rangements had been made so that the
entire party could be seated together.
The entry into the church was made In
the most quiet manner possible, the
President and Secretary OF State
Gresham entering side by side, followed
closely by the other members OF the
cabinet.
There had been no formal announce
ment Of the Presidents intention to at
tend the church, save to the ushers,
who had prepared the seats for them,
and his walking up the aisle created
something of a sensation, though not
an audible one.
After the pastor, the Rev. Simon j.
Mcpherson, had concluded the services,
during which he invoked the divine
blessing upon the exposition and its
mission of good will among men. the
President entered Mr.. Gresham's car
riage and was quickly driven to the
home OF the Secretary, at Twenty-siXth
street and Prairie avenue, where he
dined.
A pleasant feature Of his visit to the
house of Secretary Gresham was the
christening Of the granddaughter OF
the Secretary, the child OF Mr.. and Mrs
Andrews. None but Mr. Cleveland and
the immediate members Of the Gresham
family were present at the christening.
Otto Gresham, the uncle Of the infant,
was the god father. After the chrlsten-
ing Mr.. Cleveland was driven back TO
the Lexington Hotel, where he re-
NAMED quietly during the evening.

VERAGUA ATTENDS MASS.
extraordinarily Impressive Ceremonies in
Honor OF tho Distin Q uished Visitor.

Extraordinarily Impressive Ceremonies In
Honor of tho Distinguished Visitor.
CHICAGO, April 3O.-The Duke Of
Veragua and his party attended pontifi-
cal high mass this morning at the
Church OF the Holy Family at West
Twelfth street and Blue Island avenue.
The church is one OF the largest in the
West and was packed to the doors by a
throng eager to see the distinguished
visitor from abroad, as well as to at
tend the divine services.
The occasion was one OF more than
ordinary ceremony and all the accessor-
ies of the Roman ritual were utilized to
give pomp to the sacred rites. When
the great organ pealed forth the strains
of Batiste's professional march, and
the services were begun, every seat In
the church was occupied. At 1920 the
great bell tolled, announcing the ap-
proach of the ducal party. Ushers were
10 waiting in the vestibule to receive
the distinguished visitors and escort
them to the seats just in front OF the
altar rail, which had been especially re-
served for them.
The professional march was played
as the party came down the centre
aisles, the Duke and his companions
wearing all their ribbons and decora-
tions. As soon as they had reached
their seats the procession preparatory
to the celebration OF the mass was be-
gun. The officiating priests were Rev.
L. d. Kelly, celebrant; Rev. S. M. Con.
nelly, deacon; M. l.. Kenny, sub-deacon,
and Rev. j. Hoeffer, master Of ceremo-
MES.
The mass was celebrated without spe-
cial interest until it's close, when four
little altar boys stepped forward, each
carrying large boquet OF lilies and
roses, which were presented to the
members OF the distinguished party.
At the conclusion OF the mass the party
walked quietly from the church and
entering their carriages, were driven
rapidly west on Twelfth street to Ash
land Boulevard and then north to the
residence of Mayor Harrison, whom
they honored by paying him a state
visit.
After returning to the hotel the du-
cal party remained quietly in their
apartments until five o'clock when they
took carriages once more and were
driven to the residence OF Archbishop
Fehan, the chief Of the Catholic dioces
of Chicago,

Six People Burned to Death In Buriing-
ton, IA. Lodging House-suspicious CIR


cumstances.
BURLINGTON. IA, April 29.-Six lives
were lost In fire In tenement house
at SIS jefferson street at an early hour
this morning. When the fremen ar
rived it was discovered that several OF
the inmates Of the building were still
In their rooms, but the rapidity with
which the flames spread rendered
futile every effort to save them.
When the fire had been subdued and
the workmen could gain an entrance to
the building sickening sight met their
eyes. Six blackened corpses were found
in the upper rooms, where they had
been caught like rats In trap. The
lodging house was kept by Mr.. Jud-
son, and was patti onized by the poorer
class of laborers and mechanics.
The fire started shortly after 3o'clock
in the room Of servant girl, Maggie
Bailey, who tells singular story. She
says some one raped on her door and
mans voice called her to get up as 1t
was time to get breakfast. She heard
a match struck In the hall and directly
after sheet of flame burst under her
door and ran across the floor as II fol-
lowing stream OF oil. She ran up
stairs to wake Mrs. Judson, and the lire
spread so rapidly that both women had
to jump from a window. The police
are investigating the matter.

caution caused by the Australian failures.
Money is scarcer ard borrowers have
drawn fully 100000 pounds from tho
Bank OF England. Gold Is also being
withdrawn from Australia. The decrease
of the New York gold shipments causes
expectation OF a stronger demand In this
market fer Austria. Silver was steady
during the week with hardening tenden-
cy, more hopeful view being taken In re-
gard TO the future. In the American rail-
road department business was brisker than
during the previous week. The reading
