SHE LID 4 GAY LIFE.
Some of the Escapades of
 Nellie Neustrotter.
MILLIoNAIREs ARE HER VICTIMS.

The Latest Ia That She Is the Woman
 Who Is Causing Trouble In ". N.
 Vanderbilt's Family-She Is a Native
 of Nebraska and Was Educated st
 Miles Academy.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.--Nellie Neustrotter, the young woman who is said to be the cause of the trouble in William K. Vanderbilt's family, is well known here. She is native of Eureka, New, was educated at Miles academy, Alameda county, California, 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 e9 or 30 years old. Her father, Ben Cohen, kept clothing store in Eureka and became wealthy. Nellie returned to Eureka from the seminary when she was IS years old and was the belle of the town, being pretty, witty, graceful and viva cious, she possessed all the requirements for breaking hearts.
 Her first victim was nephew of a wellknown capitalist and her laisson with him created such scandal that her parents sent her to the care of relatives in San Francisco. The change failed to make the desired reformation and she soon became marked figure on Rear ney and Larkel streets during the after noon.
 Among her admirers was wealthy Hebrew named Rothscllild who laid himself and fortune at her feet. She utilized them both until she fell in love with cigar drummer named Henry Neustrotter. She married Neustrotter in 1884 and all went we'll for time. Her husbands business compelled him to be out of the city most of the time and during his absence Nellie led rapid life. She was boon companion to all fast young men about the town and the end came soon.
 She left her husband and went to New York in company with Laura Edelman, noted woman of Los Angeles. Neus- trotter secured divorce from Nellie and she continued to lead a gay life in New York.
 She captured the heart of million aire manufacturer, who gave her asunp- tuous flat, horses and carriages and all the money she could spend. He took her to Europe where she travelled like 8 princess.
 When she returned to New York she dazzled people with the elegance of her costly dresses and the brilliancy of her jewels.
 In 1890 she returned to San Francisco to visit her parents, who had removed to this city from Eureka. She took rooms at leading hotel, dressed better than any woman in the 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, taken with her pretty Oakland girl.
 Next heard of her she had gone to Europe again and had been ejected from the Continental hotel in Paris. To her parents she wrote she was studying for the stage, and sine always concealed from them the fact sine was leading a fast life. She wrote she would be in San Francisco next October, but prob ably her adventure with Mir Wander bilt may interfere with her plans.

The Platform.

We, the Republicans of Texas in con- yention assembled, renew our unquali- fled devotion to the principles of the Republican party as set forth in the na- tional Republican platform adopted at Minneapolis in 1892
 We reaffirm the American doctrine of protection, and we favor that form of protection to manufacturers and pro- ducers in every branch of industry which shall equalize the difference be- tween the compensation paid to Ameri. can labor and the. earnings Of labor abroad.
 We denouflce the attitude of the Dem ocratic congress in legislating against the industrial interests of the country.
 We denounce their fragrant discrimi- nation against the agricultural and pas toral growth everywhere, while foster ing the combinations and trusts of ag- gregated capital, creating and maintain ing monopolies at the expense of every consumer and to the injury of the en- tire country.
 We point with pride to the success of the Republican policy of reciprocity, under which our interchange of trade had grown enormously, leading 10 free intercourse and freer commerce with every American nation; and we de- nounce the action of the Democratic congress, which has abrogated these trade relations, to the injury of every interest and every port ill the country.
 We are in favor of sound money gold, silver and currency-lts Voiun'. as large as practicable, so coined anu issued that every dollar shall be equA = value the one to the other.

convicts Not Allowed to Vote.


 The constitution provides that no person who has been convicted of a crime which was a felony at com mon law, shall be permitted to vote. This definition includes petit larceny and embezzlement as well as many other crimes. Under the direction of the County Central Committee a list of all persons who have convicted of such crimes in this county during the last twenty years has been prepared, and is found to include over 1000 names, nearly all of whom are ne- groes. This list is being care ully compared with tie official list of eligible voters and the result shows that several hundred of them will have to stand aside or be arrested for illegal voting. The Judges of election at each precinct will be fur nished a list of these convicts and those who attempt to vote will be promptly turned over to the Deputy Sheriff. "Cuff39 would do well to think over his own record before lie participates in the election.
