AMONG The BELLIES.
Upon Whom Shall the Mantle Fall?
What One of the Lovely Aspirants Has

The Women VIII be Interested But
Won't the Men?

Since the day the lovely Miss Willing
left Philadelphia to become the bride or
John Jacob Astor, her mantle OF belle
has been variously bestowed among the
beautiful young ladies of the city OF
Brotherly Love. But among the candl-
dates for this honor there are certainly
few more beautiful than Miss Anna
King, who resides at 1856 Diamond st,
Philadelphia.
Our portrait is very far from doing
the young lady justice, but it will serve
to call the attention of her many friends
and admirers to the fact that she is again
in excellent health. For it must be
known that Miss King has been most
seriously ill so seriously, in fact, that
her physicians gave her up, saying that
no help was possible.
To a reporter she spoke freely and
unreservedly concerning her self. :,

a PECULIAR CASE.
A Young Men Under Arrest on Serious
Charge.

A Young man whom business men
would undoubtedly call hustler slept
behind the bars at the police station last
night. He gives his name as Willrad ).
Twomblyi and claims to represent in the
capacity of state agent the American
Employers Liability Insurance Co., of
New Jersey and as such has done a rat
Ting business about here for the past SIX
months.
His scheme of insurance has been TO
insure employees at the request OF en-
ployers and agree to pay them one-half
their weekly wages in case of accident.
He first insured the employees of Jones
6 Cartland's, and directly several OF
them discerned something irregular
about the policies given them. They
hunted up Twombly and he promptly of
fered to pay back all that had been paid
him. to any and all who wished to fall
out.
Twombly next insured the employees
of Quinn and Co.'s establishment, one OF
whom got hurt but could not collect any
indemnity. Twombly again agreed to
pay back and to pay the injured man.
Five of the employees withdrew, two OF
them have received their money and
three have not as yet.
The employees of c. H. Buckman's es-
tablishment were Twombly's next vic
tins, and it is they who have brought
him to the end of his rope for the time
being at least. One of the men here, Mr..
Chas. A. Stickney met with an accident
and being unable to get any indemnity he
wrote to the general agent of the COM
pany in Boston, and the letter he re-
ceived from him caused Twombly's ar
rest. The letter states that no policy
has been issued by the company to Mr..
Stickney, that Twombly is not an agent
of the company and has no connection
with the company in any way.
A short time ago an agent of the COM
pany came down here and shut off
Twombly's dealings, took what money he
had collected and tried to stop him per-
manently but took no legal action
against him. This gives an air OF mys-
terry to the whole thing. 1t remained for
Mr.. Stickney to swear out warrant
against Twombly and he was arrested
by Deputy MacCallum last night.
Twombly is young man about TWEEN
ty years, smart appearing and of good
address. He states that he is at present
interested in local insurance scheme
paving sick benefit and refers to sever
al of our most prominent business men
as being interested with him. He will
90 before Judge Gould tomorrow morn
ing. to answer to the charge of obtaining
money on false pretenses.

TAKING THE VEIL.

Startling Novelties in Cause Which May
Make Mar the Costume.
Do you choose your veil with reference to the
tilt Of your nose, the color OF your cheeks and
the tints of your gown? If you do not the
effect of your otherwise correct costume may
be spoiled; if you do the finishing chic and
dainty touch will be given to a rather ordinary
one. Like the women of the east we ought,
therefore, to be always we'll yelled But we
are not bound to white muslin, nor even to the
browns and blacks alone permissible two years
ago. Indeed, there is no shade on earth or sea

HER FACE HER MISFORTUNE.
why . Beautiful Girl Failed to Obtain
Social Recognition.

| why . Beautiful Girl Failed to Obtain
Social Recognition.
From the Louisville Commercial.
| recently heard the story Of how girl who
wanted to and tried to did not succeed in en-
| tering society. Her face was in that one re-
spect her misfortune. She removed to the city
some years ago from a little out-of-the-way
| town Of a neighboring state aud at once, ably
seconded by her mother, started in to cut a
swath and NOV pathway into the longed- for
green pasturage enjoyed by the ultra fashiona-
bles Of local society. Her family was not old,
nor had it in any way the remotest flavor of
Virginia origin. However, this would hardly
have counted against her, for she came Of good
stock and was supren,ely beautiful.
She carried herself like queen and with her
peerless beauty captivated the men of society.
She was modest and yet exercised q sort of
freedom that encouraged men to approach
nearer than ordinarily and at the same time
was effectuai in its restraining influence. She
displayed her charms not lavishly, but abnn-
dainty.
No wonder, then. that the club men about
town took her up. They sought her constantly,
and soon she held court with, if not the splen-
dor, all the grace and graciousness of a queen.
SO constantly was she in demand that at the
Chrysanthemum Club q sort of bureau of en-
I.
as it we're, be distributed fairly. She was taken
everywhere-by men. She was called upon I'M
ceasingly-by men, She was soon the subject
Of conversation among men. Her beauty be-
came more pronounced she learned the lit
tie arts and articles that please men, and she
became the talk of the day wherever she went,
at home or abroad.
All this. and especially the way the men took
her up, set the young women of the city's high
est dead against her. They did not deny her
beauty--they could not. They simply let her
alone. The Young women of society know a
thing or two, and. this they knew right we'll,
that if they did not call upon her and left her
at home to receive men they would soon tire of
ii and let her alone also. Such proved to be
the case. She was never called on by those Of
her own sex, and consequently knew nobody.
No one ever received for her. and society,
therefore. never had her gracious presence and
queenly beauty inits ranks. At last in despera-
ton, or IN some other mood, she left the city.
Her course was everywhere a conquest. She is
today envied by many who hear occasionally of
her, and is engaged to a wealthy man, who will
give her queenly beauty regal setting. This is
o true story.
