SHE HAD THE MARRYING HABIT.
A Woman Who Marched Thirteen Men to
the Altar. ~

A Woman Who Marched Thirteen Men to
the Altar, -
Mrs. Marie Lemon, who died in Ala
media, CAL, the other day, had perhaps the
most remarkable series Of matrimonial ex-
periences on record. She was once very
beautiful and had charm of manner that
made her particularly attractive to men.
She was fond of men, too, and swore to
love, honor and obey at least g different
ones. Mrs. Lemons sister, Mrs. Rachael
Neal, confesses that she could not begin
to tell half her sisters husbands She
remembers 49, however, and gives to the
San Francisco Examiner the following &C
count Of them:
Her first marriage was when she was
little over II years of age. She ran away
from her home in Cincinnati with a news
boy named David Black. They were both
young and soon got tired Of each other,
and Marie came home.
The next one who fell victim to her
wiles was Henry Snyder of St. Louis.
Snyder was a stone merchant and was
struck with Maries beauty when he first
met her. She was still a young girl, and
Snyder determined to make her an accom-
plished woman and develop her into the
kind of wife he wanted He knew nothing
of her first marriage. She was given an
elaborate education at his expense. She
was taught music, all Of the fine arts and
the little accomplishments that go to make
up the brilliant society woman. Snyder
wanted a wife that would shine in society,
and he got what he wanted, but in trying
to train up the kind of wife he wanted he
laid the foundation for his own undoing.
It did not take her long to learn the power
that he had given her. and then they sepa-
ly began at that point
''When she left Snyder, she married
Charles Fairchild, who ran steamer on
the Ohio river. She came back to Cincin-
natl to do that. They lived together for
nearly year, and then Fairchild left her.
Marie thought that he had gone to Cali
fornia and she packed up her belongings
and followed him. This was about 1850.
I'm San Francisco Marie led gay life.
She was considered handsome and must
have been very fascinating, or men would
not have made such fools Of themselves
over her. She had q score or SO Of beaux,
but whether she ever found Fairchild.I do
not know. She met Roswell A. Fish, and
she decided to marry him. She won the
day, as usual, and they were married. Fish
was employed in the custom house, had a
good income, and they made a very DASH
ing couple for some time. Then Fish got
tired Of her and fell in love with another
woman, who was also married. One night
my sister followed him in carriage, and
then she had her revenge. She told the
other Woman's husband and then followed

Ihave gathered from her letters
That she struck favored cli1ne,
And my light and loving letters
Vex her little at this time.
And know-I've partly guessed it
She's a raging, tearing belle
For she has not quite confessed it
And the life of that hotel!
And feel safe in asserting
She is having royal sport.
Dancing, riding, sailing, flirting,
Posing on the tennis court.
And she's met new adorer,
With more wealth than can boast.
His attentions do not bore her,
For she's got him ''cold on toast!''
But, as forgive my debtors,
forgive her-I'm no Ounce!
This I've gathered from her letters,
For she hasn't written once!

Washington, is a careful and successful
student of landscape. His landscapes show
a clear discernment of the qualities of
wooded slopes, distant low-lying clouds and
the fading levels Of the meadows. He gives
n scene from Long Island sound, which is a
pure and true version of that picturesque
region. Yet his Stream" is the best of
the three canvases by him. That is a.
scene that deserves only praise. Mr. Reck-
ard has hitherto worked in New York, but
has made his home in Washington, which
he finds congenial and more promising
environment.

northern landscape expresses itself in an

lted under the auspices of the Washington

Mr.. Brooke's "Curfew" is the most impor-

other words. the first rays of moonlight are

Mr.. Moser's is a success. OF his Winter

the peculiar characteristic Of artistic work
done in the open air. This IS parti.ularly
noticeable IN "A View of WASHINGTON [" ''Cln

Mr.. Parker Mann gives us some of his
strongest work in Near the City" and IN
the Lagoons." The former Is a PARKWAY
sight of spires and walls and roofs refined
and illumined by the fading light Of after
noon. There is atmosphere and feeling in
the scene, and Mr.. Mann has secured an
excellent result. The lagoon picture is a
little awkward IN its lines. The compost
ton Is. however, redeemed by some very
faithful work in the painting OF sky and
water, and the whole scene goes together
well.

the artist has succeeded admirably in
catching the velvetry depths of the mist,
through which the piercing brilliance of the
electric lights glitters and radiates. The
on-coming train overhead, the Gathering
surface car, the passing pedestrians. the
green CLEAN of the street cars light, the
glare of wet pavements rejecting the
myriad lights are all realistic features of
the scene. Mr.. Viele is to be congratulated
on doing what older artists than he have
attempted only to fail. OF his Arrange

can be spoken. In a beautiful scheme of
color he has introduced figure so out of
