ENV|0US OF HIS OWN SISTER.
Whites Mind Poisoned Against
His Wife BY Her Brother

Are Again Reconciicd.

Harry .. White. the young medical
student who, as told In The Evening
World" some time ago, discarded his
wife and took up quarters in Phila-
delphia, has returned to this city,
and the couple have become reconciled.
He tells a remarkable story of the rea-
sons which led him to discard her, and
IL true It puts her brother In a most
unenviable light.
White lived at 3lS Cherry street. ana
when he started for Philadelphia one
month ago It was for the purpose of
pursuing his medical studies there. The
parting from his wife was sffectionate,
and he assured her he would shortly
ask her to follow him to the Quaker
City in order that they could make
their home there.
Several days after his departure his
wife received a bitterly worded letter
from him, denouncing her as faithless
and unworthy any longer to be the
writer's wife. The letter concluded by
saving that "sossy Barsuk," a young
ktyse where the White family lived. had
followed White to Philadelphia. and
would thereafter be to him as a wife.
