Bath Beach. l.. l., and dated from Chi
cago. They were acknowledged to be
in the handwriting OF the defendant.
The letters began with Dear Esther
and were signed by "Dodo" The plain
tiff claimed that they were written
while Wright was on his way to Yank-
ton, South Dakota, and before his
daughter, the present Countess Itchy,
had obtained a divorce from her first
husband. Fernando Yznaga. The in
PRODUCTION of the letters closed the case
for the plaintiff, and the examination
was adjourned until next Tuesday,
when Mr.. Wright will have an oppor-
tunity of giving his side o. the story.
Just as the defendant was leaving the
court room he was served with an or
der commanding him to appear before
the Supreme Court in answer to an APP
plication on the part of Mrs. Este!le
Wright, for an action for limited di-
vorce.
After it was all over Mr.. Wright
stated that he intended to fight the
case o-the bitter end, no matter what
it cost After l have rid myself of
this woman he continued, 81 intend
to go to Europe and reside with my
daughter"

to Lawyer Walker) came in. He said
he intended to separate us. He has
done it. He is after Mr.. Wright's
money"
Then she broke down and cried as
though her heart was breaking.
ALWAYS CALLED NE REDLICH.
The lawyers INDUCED in another
wrangle and by the time they had fin
ished Mrs. Wright had dried her eyes
and was ready TO proceed. She was
questioned about the signing of the
agreement Of separation, and she an
swered:
ct was down at the pier at Bath
Beach. This man Walker came to me
and said: 'Red!ich-he always called
me Re6lich-why don't you sign this
agreement under your name Of Redlich?
Wright is tired OF you, and if you don't
sign ii you won't get cent When
spoke to Mr.. Wright about 1t | said to
him: 4 have been good enough to be
your wife all these years; what is the
matter now? And he said that | was
too old; and that if ever took the mat
ter into court / would be thrown out,
He said he had big pull in this city,
and that l was nobody"
At the close OF Mrs. Wright's testi-
mony her lawyer startled everybody by
calling Mr.. Wright Mr.. Wright ad-
mitted that he had paid the complain
ants board and lodging at several ho-
tels and fat houses, but had never in
PRODUCED her as his wife. Then Lawyer
Acer tried to make him admit that he
had writter a number Of letters which
were produced, but the magistrate de-
cided that Wright need not testify
against himself. Mr.. Acer succeeded
in introducing two letters, which were
addressed to Mrs. George c. Wright,

New York, June 24.-When the case
Of George Curtis Wright was called in
the Yorkville Police Court this after
noon he was in anything but a pleas
ant frame OF mind To begin with he
was standing face to face with a very
pretty and a very angry woman in a
black silk gown, whom he knew was
there TO say unpleasant things about
him. She is the woman claiming to be
his wife, who had caused his arrest on
d charge of abandonment and nOn-sup-
port. Persons in a position TO know
say that Mrs. Wright so-called is forty,
but as she stood in the stuffy little court
room and gazed at Magistrate Went
worth, she did not look a day over
thirty.
The defendant looked a well groomed
man of the world, who had made up his
mind to put in a very uncongenial af-
ternOOn. Mr.. Wright is the father Of
the Countess Itchy, who was arrested

Light in the West.

When Mr.. Whitney goes to Chicago
he will not nave TO face an absolutely
immovabie phalanX OF free silver DEM
ocrats from the West and South. There
are indications that a spirit of reaSc1
on the part Of the Northeastern Democ-
racy will meet with some response. The
latest conciliatory overture from the
silver cyclone belt is reported from In
diana, where Governor Matthews is
trying to bring about an understanding
between the two wings of the party,
with view of having some gold men on
the delegation. His desire for harmony
is stimulated by his regard for his Pres
idential boom, which would be badly
damaged by the disruption of the party.
The same consideration is likely TO mod
fly the ardor OF other Presidential can
didates for the "16 to l or bust policy.
When a man has begun to consider him
self a Presidential possibility he has a
tendency to look at things from prac.
teal point of view, and the idea Of
throwing away eighty or q hundred
electoral votes is not as fascinating TO
him as it would be if, like Mr.. Cleve-
land ne had no other ambition than
to serve as a private in the ranks
Unless the Democracy is to be hope
lessly split at Chicago, the sound money
men must MIKE it easy for their oppo-
nents to clasp hands across the bloody
chasm of sectional distrust. Nobody is
better fixed to turn the edge of fanati-
clsm-Eastern gold ard Western silver
fanat.cism equally-than Mr.. Whitney,
and upon the result of his tact and fair
ness the fate Of the party depends.

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1896-05-15

The story is told Of a soldier of the
Army of the Potomac who had his own
ideas as to his financial value, as well
as the method by which that value could
be realized.
He was white man and was detailed
for service as a teamster in "a train
which was driven for the most part by
negroes. The negroes were hired at the
rate Of $50 per month, but the white
soldier received no more than his regu-
lar pay of SIG.
He appeared somewhat dissatisfied
with this arrangement and made an ap-
plication to his captain.
Il should like, he said gravely. "to
be appointed a negro by brevet. and be
assigned to duty in accordance with my
brevet rank l"-YOuth's Companion.

ConkIInr md Thurman.

Senator Roscoe Conkling was once
addressing the senate in an impassioncd
manner and seemed to direct his rc-
marks to Senator Thurman. At length
the latter got irritated.
"Does the senator from New York, "
he roared, expect me to answer him
every time he turns to me?"
For moment Mr.. Conkling hesitat-
ed, and everybody expected terrific ex-
ploSion. Then with an air Of exquisite
courtesy he replied:
"When l speak of the law, turn to
the senator from Ohio as the Mussulman
turns toward Mecca. l turn to him as l
do to the English common law rs the
worlds most cOpiOus fountain of hu-
man Jurisprudence.

man eye moistened little. 1t is ever a

complimented IS a lawyer by Roscoe
