Divorce, Vide the Following
Lurld History.

ANA 40 @@~SNSAJ'
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.-Nellie
Neustrotter is the young woman
said to be the cause of the family
troubles of William X. Vanderbilt.
She is we'll known here. She is
native of Eureka, New, was edu-
Gated at Miles seminary, Alameda
county, resided for a number of
years in San Francisco, and has
frequently figured in escapades
that have won her nOtOriety, both
in the new and old world. She is
80 or 80 years Of age.
Her father Ben Cohen, kept a
clothing store in Eureka and be-
came wealthy. She returned to Eu-
reka from the seminary when she
was Is years old and was the
belle of the town. Pretty, witty,
graceful and vivacious, she pos
sessed all the requirements for
breaking hearts. Her first victim
was the nephew of a we'll
known capitalist, and her liza
son with him created such,
scandal that her parents sent her
to the care of friends in San Fran
cisco. The change failed to make
the desired reformation and she
soon became a marked figure on
Kearney and Larkel streets, dur
ing the afternoon. Among her
admirers was a wealthy Hebrew
named Rothschild, who laid
himself and his fortune at her
feet. She utilized them both until
she fell in love with a cigar drum
mer named Henry Neustrotter.
She married Neustrotter in 'S4 and
all went we'll for time. Her hus-
bands business compelled him to
be out of the city most of the time
and during his absence Nellie led
a rapid life. She was boon COM
panion of all the fast young
men about town and the end
came in 'S7. She left her
husband and went to New York in
company with Laura Edelman, a
noted woman of Los Angeles.
Neustrotter secured divorce
from Nellie and she continued
to lead a gay life in New York.
She captured the heart Of a mil
lionaire manufacturer, who gave
her a sumptuous fiat, horses and
carriages, and all the money
she could spend. He took her to
Europe, where she travelled like a
princess. When she returned to
New York she daZzled the people
with the elegance of her Worth
dresses and the brilliancy Of her
jewels.
In 80 she returned to San Fran
cisco to visit her parents, who had
removed to this city from Eureka.
She took rooms at the leading
hotel, dressed better than any
woman in town, wore thousands Of
dollars worth of gems, and spent
money as freely as if she had an
unlimited letter Of credit on the
United States mint.
Her money began to give out,
and she went back to New York
for more, taking with her pretty
Oakland girl. The next heard
from her was that she had gone
to Europe again and had been
elected from the Continental
hotel in Paris. To her parents she
wrote she was studying for the
stage and she always concealed
from them the fact that she was
leading fast life. She wrote she
was coming to San Francisco in Oc-
tober, but probably her adventure
with Mr.. Vanderbilt may interfere
with her plans.

SHORT sNAPPERs.

Bexar county got only a few
scraps of bones at the Black and
Tan convention.
The Knockout at Dallas does in
no way affect the candidacy for
Judge Noonan.
J.B. SchmitZ, the Reform Repub-
lican candidate for governor, will
take no prohibition in his.
Next Monday being Labor Day,
the council will probably meet and
adjourn over until next Tuesday.
Ed. Froebose, although he has
been training with the Big Four,
cannot be traded off against Moo
nan.
Voting for a Republican state
ticket may be regarded as pleas
ant pastime.
Every one rejoices that but few
West Texas Republicans took part
in the Quincy convention.
DIR. Jne. Grant, the chairman Of
the "Cuneyites," was at one time a
resident Of San AntoniO-he is a
man without prominence.
Boss Quincy knocked out Boss
Ferguson at Dallas yesterday.
The pale-faced brothers were not
in it, except as lockers on.
A Prohib. on top, and along near
the tail a copper colored gentle
man is nominated to look after
public schools.
Ex-Alderman Fritz Schreiner,
one of our ancient Democrats,
talks favorably for Judge Noonan
for Congress.
John Campbell and Henry I'M
scheid, backed by Bryan Callaghan
and Morrill, Poor, will make a
strong combination.
Ed. Froboese and George Paschal
will throw their whole weight for
Noonan. Joe and Thad must get
of the fence.
The reform Republicans Of the
state have only to be patient,
steadfast and hopeful-their cause
will win.
Judge Noonan is the nominee Of
all factions Of the Republican par
ty, as he is the choice of the people
regardless of party.
The late Republican convention
at Dallas was a fight between two
colored bosses, Quincy and Fergu-
son, in which the few white men
present played bottle holders.
There is wide difference between
the wide-awake, successful Reform
Republican candidate, H. b.
Schmitz, and the sleepy Quincy
candidate, Makemson.
No one has had nerve enough
yet to bob up against John Camp
bell for Sheriff, and he had better
not unless he announces for Moo
nan.
The Republican state split is as
wide open as ever, and unless
Cuneyism is put aside there will
be two delegations to the next Ma
tioual Republican convention.
BY the retirement of Chairman
Moore and the failure to secure
Hon. f. II. Terrell as chairman
the Quincy faction lost the conf
dence of the best element of that
faction.
Alderman Jack Daugherty, after
introducing several resolutions has
at last succeeded in getting the
car track of the San Antonio Street
Railway company at the junction
of Commerce and Narp streets
filled to a level with the street.
Alderman Galley Newton will
return from California this week,
and the several aldermen are eX-
pected to rise up and ask what has
become of the petitions for the eX-
tension of the water mains.
"Boss Quincy" says the Express,
sis able to crack the whip over the
back of the Republican party in
Texas" The Reform Republican
party can be congratulated that
the whip of the "boss" does not hit
their backs.

Threatened His Sons Life.

Deputy Sheriff Juan Cruz, Of
Senior Postoffice, brought in Julian
Herrera last night and placed him
in the county Jail on charge of
making threats. Herrera is far
mer residing on the Medina and is
accused of having threatened to
kill his eighteen-year-old son,
who is married. The two had
some words the other day, which
resulted in the son striking his
father in the face. The father then
struck his son, and, it is said, made
the threat as charged.

BY order of General Miles a
medical board, composed of three

view to deciding as to his sanity,
Colonel Crofton, having given it as
his opinion that Welsh was crazy
when he assaulted him. Major
Girard, Captain Clendenning and

A Goose Plantin Full Bloom.

The ''goose" plant in Washington
Park Conservatory is now at it, best,
says the Chicago Inter Oceau.
One of the biggest geese is over
yard long, and broad in proportion.
The plant is one OF tho most unique,
rare and valuable known to scientists.
The correct name is aristolochia gigas
Sturtevantii, and it was at the Worlds
Fair. When there it bore only one or
two flowers, owing to its being too
young to bear more. 1t is native of
South America. and even there is con-
sidered a marvellous production. In
one of the green houses next to the
"goose" house at Washington Park is
a collection of caladiums oil tho most
varied shapes and colors. Mr.. Kanst.
the head gardener, says the collection
has no duplicate. Many Of the plants
have leaves as delicately traced as the
finest Valenciennes laces. A newspa-
per may be read if covered with one
of these transparent leaves. The col
ors are all shades of red, pink, ma
room, crimson and yellow.

Chinese and Music.

Tho Chinese have some extraordin-
ary supcrstitions relating to music.
According to their queer notions, the
Creator of the universe hid eight
sounds in the earth for the express
purpose of compelling man to find
them out.
According to the Celestial idea, tho
eight primitive sounds are hidden in
stones, silks, woods of various kinds,
the bamboo plant, pumpkins, in the
skins of animals, in certain earths and
in the air itself. Any one who has
ever had tho pleasure of seeing and
listening to o Chinese orchestra will
remember that tho musical instru-
ments were made of all those materials
except the last, and that the combined
efforts of the other seven seemed bet
ter calculated to drive the ethereal
sound away than to coax it from the
mir, which is really the object OF all
Chinese musical efforts.
When the band plays the naive
credulity of the people, both old and
young, hears in the thuds of the
gongs and the whistling of the pipes
the tones of the eternal sounds of na-
ture that were originally deposited in
the various animate and inanimate OBJ
jects by the all-wise Father. -Phila-

Water Your Horses Often,

Feeding horse principally on
grain and driving it five hours with
out water is like giving man salt
mackeral for dinner and not allowing
him to drink before supper time
very unsatifactory for the man. If
you know anything about the care Of
horses and have any sympathy for
them, water them as often as they
want to drink-once an hour if possi-
BILE. By doing this you will not only
be merciful to your animals, but you
will be benefactor to yourself. es
they will do more work, look better,
and live longer. If you are skeptic
and know more about horses than any
one else, You are positive that the fore
going is wrong, because you have had
horses die with watering them too
much, and boldly say that the agita-
tors of frequent watering are fools in
your estimation, and you would not
do such thing just reason for IL
moment and figure out whether the
animal would have overdrunk and
overchilled his stomach if it had not
been allowed to become overthirsty.
A driver who sits in his wagon and
lashes his worn-out, half-curried, half
feed. and half-watered team deserves
to be punished as criminal. Our

Our pestiferous friend, the bicycle,
continues to grow In favor, and it is
being put to very practical uses, notes
the Chicago Record. In the German
army estimates for the present year
the sum of 1915, 900 is included for tho
supply of bicycles to the infantry.
Two wheels are assigned to each bat
talon and an instruction has been is-
sued dealing with the bicycle service.
These machines are to be used for
communications between columns on
the march and for communications
between advanced guards. When
troops are in quarters bicyclists are to
fulfill the functions of orderlies, es-
pecially where mounted orderlies are
wanting; they will also relieve the
cavalry from relay and intelligence
duties. In great fortresses all the
duties hitherto devolving on cavalry
rs me message-bearers are to be trans
ferred to bicyclists. In the military
service of our own country the bi.
cycle has already begun to figure con.
spicuously with admirable results.

A Much Travelled Cat.

81 have got pet kitten at home"
said w. L. Slocum, Of Manchester,
N. H., last night, (which, think, has
travelled about as rapidly and as far
in one day as any other animal in the
world. One morning, about month
ago, the kitten strayed into my fac
tory short time before the machin-
cry was started up. It got playing
around the floor, and soon took up its
position in the big fly wheel, where,
without being noticed, it nestled down
and went to sleep. Soon the machin-
cry was put in motion, the wheel
moving SO rapidly that the poor kitten
could not escape. Indeed, it is prob
able that puss was soon unconscious
from dizziness. A little computation
shows the distance the cat travelled.
The wheel moves at the rate of $50
revolutions q minute, and at every
turn pussy went seventeen feet. As
the wheel was kept in motion 800
minutes without stopping, the kitten
must have travelled during that time
little over 800 miles. When the
wheel was stopped the kitten was dis
covered and taken out, more dead than
alive, but it shortly recovered, and,
although it has remained about tho
factory ever since, it is observed that
it always gives the fly wheel wide
berth. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Rescue OF q Sand Hill Crane.

"The devotion OF birds to their
young is one of the most beautiful
sights OF nature, said William P. Bux-
ton, of Dubuque, last evening. ii
saw striking illustration of this char
acteristic while on hunting expedi-
tion up in Minnesota last fall. One
day shot and wounded young sand
hill crane, which with several others,
was resting on the prairie. At the re-
port of my gun all the birds took fight
with the exception of the wounded one
and one other, which was almost GER
tainly its parent. The injured bird
made several attempts to fly, and finally
succeeded in rising some ten or fifteen
feet in the air, but as it could not sus-
tain itself it fell again to the ground.
1t tried again, however, and the parent
bird, seeing the trouble the young one
was in, placed herself underneath it,
allowing it to rest its feet on her back,
both birds continuing all the while to
flap their wings. In this way, much
to my amazement, she succeeded in
bearing it off to place of safety. -
