Rewarded at Last.

In Western paper, under the
heading "Situations Wanted" aD-
peared the following advertisement
which shows in q fair degree the
versatility aud modesty of one Amer.
lean printer:
"Wanted. Situation by a Prac-
teal Printer, who Is competent to
take charge OF any department in q
printing and publishing house.
Would accept u professorship In any
Of the academies He has no objec-
ton to teach ornamental painting
and penmanship, geometry, trigo.
nometry, and many other sciences
Has had some experience as lay
preacher. Would have no objection
to form a small class of young ladies
and gentlemen to instruct them in the
higher branches. To q dentist or
chirOp0dist he would lie invaluable;
or he would cheerfully accept q posi-.
ton as bass or tenor singer in a
choir"
Remarkable as 1t may seem, this
advertisement appeared day after
day, indicating that the gifted printer
was still without q situation. At
last there appeared this addition to
the notice:
Up. S. Will accept an offer to
saw and split wood at less than the
usual rates"
The advertisement was not in.
serted again, SO that readers Of the
paper were left to infer that at last
the versatile printers requirements
had met with appreciation.

Possibility that They Were Murdered
by the SwindIer.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. 20.-There is
every reason to believe that II. II. Holmes,
who went by the name of o. C. Pratt in
Fort Worth. is guilty of numbering Minnie
r. Williams and her sister, Anna Williams,
the crime having probably been committed
in Chicago, and in this crime a men who

ruary he came here from Chicago and
placed on record a deed from one Bond to
Lyman for one hundred feet front on Rusk
and Second streets. Bond got title by deed
from Minnie r. Williams, executed before
a notary, whose name was said to be
Holmes. On this property Lyman began
the erection of a three-story stone building.
AT this time Q. c. Pratt appeared on the
scene and was introduced by Lyman as su-
perintendent of the work. Pratt left town
a few days later with many creditors

lot TO a Fort Worth man. who. fearing
his title had been clouded by Pratts acts
in connection with liens on the property,

Superior Court by Albert wishard. attorney
for the Fidelity Mutual Life Association.
on behalf of that company. One is against
II. NJ. Howard alias II. NJ. Holmes, alias
Herman Midget and Georgiana Howard.
The complaint AYERS that Howard obtained
from the company $4,000 on a false claim,
and further AYERS that the defendant How
ard transferred a part Of this money TO
Georgiana Howard, his wife, without con-
sideration, which money was placed on de-
posit in the Merchants National Bank.
Judgment is asked against Howard for slO.-
600 and against his wife for any part Of the
money which she may have received. The
other suit is against Howard under his
various aliases and the Merchants Ma
tional Bank as garnishee defendant 1t
AYERS that Howard at one time deposited
a large sum of money In the bank, of
which sum $i0250 yet remains to the credit
of Georgiana Howard, and asks judgment
for the amount. An affidavit for a writ OF
attachment is also attached, the facts set
forth in the affidavit being the same as in
the complaint.
Albert Wishard is confident that the man
who called on him is the man who had
dealings with the insurance company ne ne
wife. and said that he simply wanted to
see about the property so as TO know that
she was getting her proper share OF IL. He
understood that there was petition for

and Commodore Mayo Recalled.

WATERBURY,. Conn.,, Nov 20.-The un-
fortunate marriage of Commodore Mayo, OF
Washington, TO Jessie Elton Stevens of
this city, is recalled by the death Saturday
at retreat in Wernersville, Pa, of the
wl'e's father, Orville II. Stevens.
The marriage took place here Dec 8, 1892,
ana was very important social event.
MISS Stevens was belle. She was the only
daughter of Orville III. Stevens. He was
prominent in society, business and politics.
Miss Stevens was brought up in wealth
and refinement, was finely educated, and
was finished musician and painter. She
had gone about but little being of a quiet
modest disposition, and none of the young
men about Waterbury had made any inn
preston on her.
During the summer OF 1892 Miss Stevens,
while with a party of schoolmates i'm the
White mountains, met Commodore Mayo,
aud IL was love at first sight with the old

He said that they were then squabbling

wanted $500, but Mrs. Pitzel would consent
to give him only $1,000 Afterwards he told
me that he had got his $500, and l

cent OF any completely in the whole affair.
She had been forced, through ignorance
and pressure of various kinds to sign GER
tain papers, but she told Perry last night
that she had received only $500 in cash.
She said Holmes had taken 5000 Of the
money and put it in land speculation in
Fort Worth. in which Pitzel was also in
terested. Holmes to-day told Perry that
this was true. In Texas. Perry said, Holmes
operated under the name of III. II. Pratt.
He added that b. f. Perry, b. +. Pitzel

from whom he claims to have been di-
vorced, and by whom he has a child thir-
teen years old; another in Illinois, whom
Mr.. Perry himself saw. and by whom
there is a six-year-old child; and the wife
who is at present in this city.
