MILLloNAiREs IN TROUBLE.
In Each CEso. Too. Woman Is tho Cause
of tho Difficulty.


Rich men have no end of trouble
these days. Zelln Nicolaus, failing to
get $40, 900 from George Gould in her
first suit, now sues him for 500, 900 for
striking her, as sho alleges.
Following tho alvaricious leila, we
find Miss Josephine Mack suing George
Law for $3.50, 900 fer breach Of promise.
Miss Macl; is II beautiful girl of 30, Of
good family, and with, some property.
Sho claims that Mr. Law paid her
marked attention, engaged himself to
her, and finally married another lady to
whom she had introduced him. She has
suffered great mental distress, and moth
ing but n big round sum of money will
satisfy her.
In Trenton John A. Barnes charges
ex-Mayor Frank A. Mcgowan with
alternating tho affections of his wife.
and for this no wants 5 | 90, 900 damages.
Mcgowan was arrested on capias and
was five hours in Jail before he could
give bond of $3.50 When no got
out, ho had Barnes arrested for perjury.
All three of these gentlemen arc mil
lionairos. Gould and Mcgowan say that
thoy are the victims of blackmailin
schemes, and Law declines to say any
thing. 1t will DO noted that thoro is l,
woman at tho bottom. of each case. In
these days the average millionaire has
II hard road to travel. Ho is beset with
difficulties at every turn, and he is
lucky indeed II he can steer clear of
damage suits. People who arc not mil
fonaires have great deal to be thank
full for. --Atlanta Constitution.

tsvO OtSfnut CITY.
Tho sidewalks of Chicago are chiefly
board planks. Miles of this board walk
is elevated much above the lot level
Sundry boards are missing. and there
fore Chioagoans arc getting to DO great
jumpers.
The streets Of Chicago are paved with
cobblostones and blocks of wood. Many
Of the inhabitants say that the blocks of
wood ought to be dumped into their
wood bins. rs it puts them to great
deal of Inconvenience and labor to dig
them out of the street.
The postmaster of Chicago has re-
markable whiskcrs. He is without Il
doubt the greatest statist;cian in tho
city. Twice week regularly ho quotes
statistics to the Chicago papers i'll which,
he shows tho littloneSs OF New York as
compared with the city by the lake.
The wearing Of dress suits III tho day
time i'll Chicago is gradually going out
OF style. y conspicuous Chicago society
man said recently Tint he would never
think of wearing dress suit before 1
o'clock in tho afternoon.
From II to 1 O'Clock the business
men of Chicago svck the dairy lunch
counters. They eat AS rule / 5 cents
worth and thon go back TO their work
thoroughly contcntcd.
There is n railroad that OWNS tho
whole of the lake front, and nobody is
oil 49, al. 4. 1t
railroad company has not refused the
lake brcozes admittance over its tracks.
Chicago is so fiat that the city has
built III some of the parks small hills.
People regard these hills with great
curiosity.
THO Chicago river continues to emit
unspeakable odcrs, yet Chicagoans APP
pear to like it, for they stand on tho
bridges over tho river for hours at u
time watching the busy sconeE below.
Occasionally one of them shu6les off his
mortal coil by jumping into tho river.
The atmosphere OF Chicago when an
alyzcd yields 10 per cent of soft coal
smoke, 10 per cent Of street dust, Is
per cent OF stockyards, 8 per cent of

scnts mt least five outside concerns. He
takes good caro- that each firm he repre-
sents COTS into tho city directory. AS
each name is counted for four or five
people in estimating the population tho

to New York is rabid in his declaration
Of Chicago's superiority. When he has
seen New York, his enthusiasm for his
own city is utterly quenched unless he

Remarkable Escape "f Girl Who Fell

remarkable Escape Of Girl Who Fell
Down Mountain.
a singular accident and remarkable
escape from death happened at Catalina,
CAL, recently. to Miss Grace Pituey.
daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. George Pit
ney OF Los Angeles. She climbed to the
top of Sugar Loaf mountain, which
ovcrlooks the bay Of Catalina, and saw
some friends starting ont for sail.
The venturesomc girl stood on the apex
of the peak and called to her friends in
tho boat, waving her handkerchief to
them
Suddenly her friends, who we're
nearly 800 feet below, saw her step
Sideways OF tho peak and roll down the
mountain. Her descent was plainly Wis
iblc to those on tho water. She had
rolled 90 feet or SO when she struck
some brush and was thrown into the
AIR. III striking the mountain side again
sho fell upon some more brush and
rolled down the mountain into the
waters of the bay. She did not sink, but
remained mOtionless on tho surface of
the bay. She had landed ON 81 bed of
kclp of sufficient thickness to sustain
her weight. Though rendered. uncon.
sciols by her fall, the sustaining power
of tho se.wooG kept her from drowning
until she was rescued. The girl was
little injured, except that her left leg
was fractured near the ankle. Pitts
