Printer Griffith Mas Decoyed to
New York BY His Brother-in- n-law.
While He Was There Mrs. Griffith DisaD-
peared and Cannot Be Found-Postal
Authorities to Act

Insult added to injury was the complaint
made last night by Mr.. Walter S. Griffith,
proprietor of the Martin House, No. 337
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. Mr..
Griffith made a written complaint yes
terday to the chief inspector of the postal
service that he had received an obscene
letter from his brother-in-Iaw, G. Morris
Martin, who is a travelling salesman for
Rufus e. Scarborough, dealer in dental
supplies, of No. 2O3 West Fifty-second
street, New York
The letter. which contains the most in
decent and profane epithets, has been
taken possession Of by the postal detec-
tives, and Martins arrest will follow as
soon as he can be located The letter was
mailed from Wilkesbarre, Pa.
Mr.. Griffith first notified the Washington
police, but was referred by them to the postal
authorities. as the offense had beenconmitted
outside of the District. Mr. Griffith, who
is a printer by trade and known among
members o fine craft as ~ has en-
pIoyed "a lawyer and viii push prosecution
against his brother-in-law.
Behind the letter is a story. 1t shows
how Griffith was robbed of his wife by a
trick He claims that his brother-in-law
induced him to leave Washington several
days ago TO get fat position in New York.
When he reached the metropolis he found
he had been badly deiuded, as there was no
place awaiting him.
Upon returning to Washington Griffith
found that his wife, to whom he had been
married over twenty years had been
spirited away by her willy brother, and
he has not yet succeeded in locating her.

Chance Male Acquaintance CIeveriy Stole
Young Woman's Sparklers.

HE has taken away my diamond ringsI'
This exclamation, many times repeated,
burst from the lips of a fashonably dressed
and decidedly pretty brunette young lady
as she stood ringing her hands near the
corner of Sixth street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast. about O'Clock last
evening. Several passers-by attracted
By the womans cry, approached her and
one gentleman volunteered the query:
Where is the thief?'
In reply the young lady mutely pointed
with her gloved finger toward the Capitol.
After passing through fit OF hysterical
shvering. she answered:
Ion q Car-cable car,''
The crowd multiplied, and some one
said he was going for policeman.
DON'T For Gods sake, DON'T!
The gentleman who has first spokento her
suggested that she take the next cable train
and follow whoever had taken her rings.
She objected to this, saying she did not
want to follow him"
Some other person present said police
man was coming, and the center OF at
traction seemed to regain composure and
made a bolt for the opposite corner, ac-
cepting the proffered arm OF her original
auditor, who effectually ordered the crowd
of hangers-on, who were following them,
to go back.
The lady requested that they take Sew
enth street and walk north. To the gem
tleman's inquiries. she said she had secretly
met man, whom she had formerly be-
come acquainted with at the dancing school
in Marini's Hall on Pennsylvania avenue
between Second and Third streets southeast.
II met him this evening" she explained,
land we went to supper there. He gave
me 'taffy' and admired the rings on my
fingers. BY request 1 took them off-there
were two-and allowed him to place them
on his little finger as tie OF friendship
he said, saying also that he would return
them when we parted for the night.

added, land / know l shall never get back

The usual after-dinner speaker has too
many hands. What to do with them
she doesn't know. 1t is an audacious
woman who dares throw back the lapel
of her tailor built frock and thrust her
thumb in the armhole OF her vest, after the

She can't relieve her embarrassment by

She may load every finger with dia-
mouds and flash them in the eyes OF her
listeners. but those dear creatures at once
hint that no 6rilliancy on the hands can
make up for lack of that quality in the
bra ns. Mr.. Depew did not say this.
any woman VIII understand it, however.
DR. Depew does advise women who want
to go into the post prandial arena that
there must be no preaching nor any spread

Modern audiences don't want star dust or

is the quick catching of the effect on the
audience of everything said during the
evening that is the great secret OF the sue
ceSsful atter-dinner speaker. And in that
respect women fail hopelessly. Before
they can attain prominence in the field
of after-dinner oratory they must acquire
the ability to leap into instantaneous
touch with their bearers"

cised by the Sunday-school missionaries
of that denomination at to-day's session
of the missionaries annual conference.
1t was stated that the hymn-books and
tracts sent to the missionaries for use in

suitable and in some cases antiquated,
and that only a dozen out of 800 tracts
published were really attractive and suit
able.
DR.. worden advised the missionaries
not to force poor literature on the people.
He remarked that the average Sunday
school library was usually filled with
