More of Weeks.

New York, May N--Fresh evidence Of
Francis H. Weeks singular financiering
methods as trustee came to light to-day
IN the discovery Of his treatment of Fannie.
Bette and Mary Davies. The law firm of
De Forest & Weeks became custodian of
the property of these young women in 1873.
1t consisted Of local real estate, including
lots in 125th street and Eighth avenue,
which they inherited from their great grand
mother. Lawyer Weeks induced each to ex-
ecute separate deeds OF trust, giving him
authority to hold the property and to con-
troll the money realized if the property
for $250,0OO and Trustee Weeks advanced
the $4,000 on about fifty different mort
cages as security. It has been discovered
that in all but four, Oh: i've instances these
mortgages were made in Weeks own name.
The interest on the mortgages he paid to
the young women when he felt like it, and
never explained any delay. Now It is seen
that Weeks had not recorded the mortgages
for years, and in all but three or four cases
he either assigned or sold the mortgages to
others. The assignments were not recorded
until the present month. Only few mort
cages are made ont in the name Of the real
owner. 1t is estimated that Weeks realized
$2OO, 200 on the mortgages he sold.

It Is Claimed That an Old Soldier
Has One Wife Too Many--A
Relative Of One of the
Women Causes
His Arrest,

One OF the Brave Secured the Fair.
Fargo, n. D., Special, May 21.-S.
Stillwell. an old soldier and man uni
versally respected here. was arrested to-
day charged with adultery. After the war
he returned to his home at Rennettsburg,
N. Y, and soon thereafter married the
widow of an old comrade, Mrs. Abbie
Coates. 1t is claimed that he became
enamored of the wife of neighbor, and
that fifteen years ago they eloped and
went to Michigan, where they lived for
two years, and thirteen years ago came
to Dakota and bought farm near Gran
din. Seven years ago he took the fore
manship of the big Henderson farm near
Sabin, and remained there until this
spring, when he moved to Fargo and
took rooms at the Elliott house. The
couple We're both fine looking people, and
made many friends during their stay
here. Will w. McCleary is a nephew of
Mrs. Coates, and when he reached man
hood, five years ago, he determined to
avenge the wrongs of his aunt, and set
to work Systematically to trace Stillwell
down. He traced him through Michigan,
but lost all track of him, and after a
hopeless search of four years was ready
to give up in despair. But last winter
he went to Washington, and looking over
the records he found that Stillwell had
applied for pension and was living at
Fargo He came here March 10, and
located the couple at the Elliott house.
He worked around town until the last of
March, and then went to Grandin to
work. He waited before having the
parties arrested until his aunt was ready
to come here, but she was delayed and
expected to come about June 1. Nc
C!eary heard that the pair were going to
Chicago, and came into the city this
morning and had a warrant issued for
both. Mrs. Stillwell went East two days
ago, but is expected to return Sunday.
When arrested Stillwell denied knowing
McCleary and denied knowing anything
OF the facts, but later asked McCleary
not to say anything more about the af-
TAR until it came to trial. He waived ex-
animation and deposited $500 for his ap-
pearance at the next term of the dis
| trict court. When asked for state
nefit or denial of the charge. he refused
to say anything for publication, merely
stating that he was sure he would come
out all right. Stillwell has always borne
a good reputation here. and there are
many very loath to believe the charges,
and think that he will prove himself limo.

Amcricn Turns Its Back on Anglo
Saxon Tradition.
If we accept the definition of the Rus
sian penal code, revolutionary con-
spiracy of any kind is, constructively,
an attempt upon the life Of the Tsar,
and, as such, is punishable with death.
Is the government of the United States
prepared to admit that a political con-
spiracy which may threaten the Tsar's
life is, in fact, an attempt upon his life
SO direct as to deprive the conspirator
Of the right of asylum in the United
States under the pending treaty? If
we are to accept the Russian law as
our guide we must be prepared to sur
render all Russian refugees who have
conspirnd against the Tsar's govern
ment and who have undertaken to
overthrow it by violent means. In
making such surrcnderS. however, we
shall do for the support and encourage
ment of tyranny what the government
of Great Britain, has always refused to
do, and shall turl. our backs upon the
history and the traditions of the Anglo
Saxon race.-George KEENAN, in Forum.

The Women Who Attract Attention
The elbows are now worn quite be-
hind the waist. SO runs the latest
fashion mandate, which isn't as absurd
as it sounds, says the Sun, for so uni
versally recognized is the fact that a
fine carriage is one Of the cssentials
of a prepossessing appearance that the
smart woman carries her head high,
her chest well thrown out and her ell
bows necessarily fall well back out of
the way.
This is particularly true Of city
women, who realize that the woman
who makes the best effect is always
the woman who carries herself well.
On closer acquaintance the pretty face
begins to tell, and somewhere between
the two the dress comes in for a share
Of attention us to details with men.
And it is to please men that women
dress, except a few spiteful women
who dress to aggravate other women
