seventh street. has been granted de-
cree OF divorce by Judge Dugro of the
Superior Court. She married John
Brown Dec. .. 1889. having met him the
same night at about II o'clock In
coffee saloon on Second avenue.
Mrs. Brown. who IL about 6 feet
tall, somewhat stout and very pretty,
quite enchanted Brown, who is only
about 3 feet 2. While walking together
the contrast In their he!ghth has often
caused people to remark There goes
the long and the short OF it."
They hurried off the same night to
Pastor Schneider. who married them.
MIR Brown comes from a very wealthy
family in Germany, and his relatives in
this city are also very well TO do. The
couple lived together for three weeks
when they wound up in Yorkvile Court,
each making a complaint against the
other. The Justice threw the case out
of court.

LETTER FROM A FUGITIVE.

Writes from Mexico.

SEDALIA, June ga three-column
letter from ]. C. Thompson, the fugi-
tive cashier of the defunct First Ma
tional Bank. now in the city OF Mexico.
has been received by p. u. Haslain.
Mayor OF Sedalia. who has been re-
tanned to defend the banker in case OF
his arrest and extradItion to Missouri
The letter Is a mixture of an appeal
for sympathy and threats to expose
reputable citizens OF Sedalia. Mr..
Thompson asserts that he will return
to Missouri and stand trial when charges
are preferred against him, either in
State or United States Court. He ad-
mts that he has been guilty of wrong
doing in the transportation of funds,
but says that not one penny of this
sum was used for the benefit of himself
or family, but that every dollar of 1t
went into the bank in the hope of en-
abling the institution to live.

CROKEa,S REGRET.

Mr.. Richard Croker IL enjoying him
self in Ireland and confirms the story
oil his Intention to return to New YORK
ny the Majestic. He brings home with
MIN one regret. that the Libel law in
tie United states is not like the Eng
, iish law, SO that he might bring a Grim
inai l!be, suit against those 'nauisitive
journals that insist upon knowing how
he got 1t, ana persist in pressing upon
him the question where did 1t come
from?
This ought not to WORRY Mr.. Croker.
There is probably not single news
paper Ia New York that would inter-
pose any technical defense 10 libel
suit If Mr.. CrO.scr shoull think fit to
bring one. Any Of them would. no
doubt. De happy 10 meet Nh Croker
in court OF Justice, giving him al
the advantage he might hope to de-
rive from Tammany Judges.
But there Is one thing for which MI
Croker ought TO be duly thankful. that
the laws OF the United States affecting
the manner In which It Is got are not
as severe nor as strictly enfor ID In
the United States as they are in Eng
land. Otherwise the dread OF the in
vestigating committees. supposed to
have caused his mysterious departure
for Paris and the Grand Prix. would
have kent him on the other side OF the
Atlantic. and the news OF the consulta-
ton between Mayor Gilroy and Bourke
Cochran and the danger threatening
his Tammany cronies would not have
been sufficient to induce him TO hurry
back as rapidly as he went away.
The question of interest now Is will
Mr.. Croker be able to get back into the
Tammany leadership as easily as he
got out of 1t?

that the single good design, the grace
