morning says: In the crush at the Casino
last night was a handsome woman who
complained bitterly because the newspa-
pers had published kilograms from San
Francisco accusing her of intimacy with
w. X. Vanderbilt. Her name before she
was married was Nettie Cohen. Her hus-
band secured divorce from her under
the name of Nellie Neustadter. She lives
now as Mrs Nita Allen almost opposite
the home of Chauncey M. DeDew.

NETTIE NEUSTADTER WAS NEVER
WILLIE IA. vANDERBILT's FLAME.
Her Father Denies the Scandalous
story and Nettfe Herself Has a Word
to Say in New York.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. S1--A story
was published by a morning paper in this
city connecting Mrs. Nettie Neustadter
with the scandal in the family of w. *.
Vanderbilt. The story was founded on the
similarity between her name and that or
the gay Parisienne, Nellie Newsletter, who
is said to have lured the American million
aire from the path Of domestic rectitude.
Mrs. Nenstadters father is Benjamin
Cohen. Of this city. He said in an inter-
view. at Is absurd to say that this no.
torious woman and my daughter Nellie
are the same person I have been receiv-
ing letters from her for the past two
years at regular times. They have all
been dated New York. Only once to my
knowledge did she visit Europe and that
was two years ago. Then she remained in
Paris for a month. All these stories to
the effect that my daughter was one Of
the most notorious women of Paris are
untrue. Nellie did not speak French well
and she never posed as French woman
so far as 1 know. If she were the heroine
of these sensational escaDadeS charged 10

The Cohens have been receiving letters
from Mrs. Neustadter at regular inter-
walls ever since her departure from this
city. The last letter was received on Tues
York. She wrote to an intimate friend a
few weeks ago to the effect that she will
be in this city during the latter part Of
September.

Mr.. Gladstones declina ton Of the

significant Of the political situation in
England. Taken as a whole, his polit-

the evolution Of England from n mon
archy into a democracy. His methods
have not been revolutionary. He has
taken no step that could convulse his
country or lead TO bloodShed Yet he
has laid broad and deep the political
principles that will soon sweep away
the House Of Lords and ultimately
the monarchy itself. The England of
the future, as Mr.. Gladstone has con-
ceive1 1t, will be a federal republic,
composed Of governing states,
with local parliaments, and represent
cf in central parliament composed
Of House of Commons and elective
Senate. He has never openly or COW
crtly attacked the monarchy, but it is
evident that the passing away Of that
Institution in England must follow

which has, under Victoria, become a
