GARTERS FOR LUNCH.
Sadie Martinot the Well Known Actress
Said She Was Dead Broke.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Sadie Marti-
not, who is in her last week OF three
weeks engagement at the American thea
ter, enjoyed the latest fad of actresses by
being examined in supplementary pro-
ceedings i'm the Supreme Court under an
unpaid judgment OF Albert +. James for
$1,000
Sadie, who Is of the stage Mrs. Max
Figman, was examined about year ago
in the same case, and told Of having q
pair of carriers with diamond buckles.
Lawyer George II. Ely, who appears for
the judgment creditor, did not try TO
have receiver appointed to get them
away from her, but he had them In his
eye when he began the present examina-
tion.
The judgment was for wearing apparel.
The actress was elegantly attired, and
posed as IL the cares of debts were not
disturbing her. She had come to court
with lawyer A. III. Hummel in carriage
that figured in judgment subsequently
entered against her in the same court.
When asked her name, she replied !:
"Mrs. Max Figmau, and / may as well
say now that / am dead broke"
She smiled at lawyer Hummel to see II
that was all right, and, getting smile
and nod Of approval in return, she clasped
her hands in her lap and was ready Tor
the next question. Lawyer Ely hesitated
and she went on:
~ haven't a dollar except what is
necessary for my support. There Is abso-
lutely nothing which l own that you
can attach"
In answer to questions she said that she
is starring In Boucicault's "Shaugh-
raun," and is getting $3.50 a week, all OF
which she needs for her support. She IS
staying at the Hoffman House.
81 understand" said the lawyer, in q
confidential way. "thst you had pair Of
garters with diamond buckles some time
ago. Have you got them YETI"
The actress heaved sigh as she leaned
back, crossing her legs, and said: 81
lunched on them one day."
"You don't mean that you swallowed
them?" he persisted.
40, no, / wanted luncheon one day
and / did not have the money to pay for
il. got the luncheon, but somebody
else got my garters."
She told lawyer Ely that she would
gay when times got better, and that 1t
was out of the question to save on what
she was getting.
O, yes, of course, she had other credi-
tors. 1t was no use asking about them.
They also would be paid, she ran on.
One OF those creditors was Mr.. Hum
nell, whom she owed for services, and
also as the agent for Stephenson Il Yard
royalties on the play "The Passport"
"All will be paid some day." she said.
John A. Carver, as assignee of j. b.
Brewster & Co. took judgment against
her today for S2S4.3 for the repairing
and storage of two carriages from June,
1891, to Feb. 1892. She let this judgment
go by default.

Where Doctors Do Not Differ.


 There is a noteworthy concurrence of opinion among eminent scientists of various nationalities and high compe- tence who have been consulted by the Apollinaris company concerning the properties. uses and merits of "Apen- ta," natural Hungarian aperient wa ter bottled at the Hunyadi Springs, Buda Pest, Hungary, under the abso- lute control of the Royal Hungarian Chemical Institute (Ministry of Agri- culture), Buda Pest. This strong inter- national agreement of testimony is strengthened by the concurrence of the Lancet and the Paris Gazette des Hopi- taux This is a new triple alliance which affords irrefragible support to this new aperient water. The special advantages of "Apenta" are the pre- ponderance of it's sulphate of magnesia, its content of lithia, which renders it a valuable water for gouty persons, and it's efficaciousness in small doses, as pointed out by the British Medical Journal, Hospital and other medical papers With view to the conven. fence of the bachelor, the tourist and the traveller, and to persons of econom- ical mind, "Apenta" is bottled in quar- ter-bottles, sold at ten cents. It is cer- tainly a new thing in this country to get bottle of foreign natural aperient water for so modest a cost.
