ANOTHER WOMAN IN 1T.
A Well Known Beauty, Nellie Neustretter,
Fascinated Vanderbilt.


Fascinated Vanderbilt
NEW YORK, Aug. 2y--The statement
in a morning paper that Mrs. w. X. Van
der 3IIt is about to begin separation pro-
ceedings has not, it is alleged, created
surprise IN circles where The relations Of
the pair have been known. That they
have not lived harmoniOusly for the last
t~O years has been the gossip Of fash
iJnal,le circles for some time.
The crisis in their affairs. according TO
the Commercial Advertiser of today, was
reached Immediately after the running
Of the grand Prix de Paris, June II Of
this year. ''Mr. Vanderbilt" says this
authority, "wOn 10000 francs on the race,
and almost Immediately after receiving
his winnings he was introduced 10 wo-
man we'll known for her beauty and
numerous following among the lights in
swelIdoin.
This person was Nellie Neustretter.
She facinated the millionaire and as an
evidence of his appreciation Of her com
pany, he presented her the 10000 francs
SO openly that several friends saw the
unusual occurrence and demonstrated
with him. The story of how he fitted up
a magnificent establishment for her in
Paris, and subseq quently gave her a resi-
dence at Deanvlle, with servants and
every luxury she desired, is true.
at shocked and surprised the Ameri-
can residents of Paris, but Mr. Wander
bilt was so open Il his attention as to
puzzle every body. One of the most
startling things he did was to allow 1ne
servants of Nellie Neustretter 10 wear
the same livery as worn by AIRS. Wander
bilt's servants. This was noticed and
commented upon by every person who
saw her and her equipage in Paris and
Deanville.7
The Vanderbilts according to another
afternoon paper, have lived apart since
last spring.
Mrs Vanderbilt has spent the summer
in England, at an estate on the Thames
near London, which had been rented for
her, while Mr.. Vanderbilt has spent his
time IN Paris. It IS alleged that when,
some time ago, a tentative agreement of
separation was reached, Mr. Vanderbilt
agreed to settle upon his wife $1O,-

A Good Suggestion.

A well-known Washington newspaper

In the likeness OF "Old Glory" He has
travelled good deal 10 out-of-the-way
parts OF the country. and steutly main
tains that In many Of these places the flag
Is practically unknown. He thinks that
this appalling state OF affairs could best
be remedled by making every letter carry
the Stars and Stripes. There is much to
be urged In favor of his plan. The post
al service penetrates to the uttermost
backwoods, aud the 2-cent stamp is prob
ably the most familiar object In thecoun
try. IL there are Americans so benight-
as not to know the national standard
when they see it, the red, white aud blue
postage stamp would, no doubt familiar

Timely Advice.

An exchange gives this timely advice
to business men:
The storekeeper who expects to do
much business In 1894 must practice the
lesson taught in the following story: Two
frogs found themselves In pail of milk
and they could not jump out. One of
them was for giving up and said to the
other, Goodbye sink die" Said his
mate, "Brace up you duffer. Keep jump
In and see what'll turn up" So they
kept jumping up and down all night
and by morning had so churned
the milk that it turned to butter, and
they jumped off the butter to the ground.
Applied to business the fable means
this: IF you want the business OF 1894
to exceed that of 1898, keep jumpin'."
Don't CRY II sink die"' The merchant
who continues to look for bad times will
not survive to see good times. The man
who keeps a jumping will see good times
first. Carry level head. buy standard
goods and keep good clean stock, an
attractive store aud advertise with bright
daily ads.

For Speaker of the House.

Since the announcement in this column
last week that Representative +. C.
Chamberlain og Ironwsod would probab-
Nv be candidate for speaker of the next
house, | have learned that he Is an avow-
ed candidate for the honor. and Is al
ready conducting vigorous campaign
among his friends throughout the state.
Chamberlain's abilities and his splendid
work In the last session make the sug-
gestion of his name In connection with
the Speakership entirely reasonable.
Chamberlain lowered above everybody
even on the floor by reason of his
immense height. In the speakers chair
he certainly would be an i'm posing figure.
But he has other claims to prominence.
He Is shrewd politician, a skillful law
yer, brilliant speaker and an effective
debater, and he has displayed knowl-
edge parliamentary tactics that, coupled
with his other qualifications. would make
him a splendid speaker The contest
appears to be between Cham berain and
Judge VIM ID. Gordon of Midland. Which
ever wins the house may be sure of a
dignfied. fair-minded and capable pre-
siding officer Detroit Tribune Phoao-
