She Spent $4,000 to Catch the
Man Who Swindled Her.
HE HAD THE MARRYING HABIT.

White Was Not Particular About Con-
forming to the Law and Usually Made
Money Out OF His Matrimonial Ventures.
Widow Tomlinson His Nemesis.
"I'd rather have Detective Bagnarello
after me than that Connecticut widow, l"
said District Attorney Ridgway Of Brook
lyn as he made ont the papers which are
to bring back William j. White, an alleged
bigamist, from Buchanan, Mich.
Mrs Nancy E. Tomlinson Of Ansonia
has spent nearly $4,000 in the last 1s
months to bring White to justice. She Sc
cured his Indictment for bigamy by the
grand jury of Kings county last fall. She
expects to have him indicted for grand lar
ceny.
The widow has spent money in Scotland
and Australia as well as in half dozen
western states in her pursuit Of the man
who she says, whecdled her out Of $12, 500
and deserted her two days after marriage
ceremony. She purposes to bring all the
other Mrs. Whites to Brooklyn, paying
their expenses from Glasgow and Chicago
and Ohio, and from the ends Of the earth,
If need be.
Whites career in this country, according
to Detective Dcitsch's story to New York
World reporter, began in 1884, when he
went to Brooklyn from Glasgow and be-
gan selling furnace governors. He was
married in County Cavan, Ireland, IA
years ago and has son 10 years old. His
wife returned to her fathers home In Ire
land, where she now Is.
White went to Michigan in 1883 and sold
cash registers. In Chicago he met Ida
Parker and married her. She says he took
$500 she had in bank. He deserted her aft

A cheese was procured, and the directors

peared. As the last crumbs were disap-
pearing the officials held a hurried con-
sultation, and after awhile the president
announced: "Gentlemen, we have decid-
ed to concede your claims to an advance
Of 10 per cent, for we are certain that
at present you can scarcely get enough

WHO OWNS GREAT BRITAINp

Everybody knows that a small
number of men own the bulk of the
land in Great Britain, but there is
always something startling about the
figures. The total area of England
and Wales excluding London) is 37,.
243,859 acres or about that of New
York, New Jersey and Delaware COM
bined. One man owns 1877 1897, or
1900 of the whole; second 132,996
acres, and a third 102, 1856 acres &c
persons own 1,917,076 acres, equal to
Delaware and the three lower coun-
ties of New Jersey 2S0 own 5,426, ,764
acres, tract considerably larger than
New Jersey S74 own 9,267, ,031 acres,
at which rate 1000 persons would
own q full third of New York state.
A body Of men which does not exceed
4,5O0 owns more than one-half of Eng
land and Wales.
In Scotland the situation is still
worse. The area of that country is
1S, ,946, ,694 acres, which is little more
than that of Rhode Island, Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire and Vermont
together. One man owns 1926, 900
acres which is as if single individual
owned a tract as large as Rhode Is
land and all of Massachusetts from
Fall River to the end of Cape Cod ; two
others 431, 900 and 424,000 acres res
pectively, or between them more than
enough to make another Rhode Is
land; "a men own 1881, 1884 acres,
which falls but little short of the area
of Massachusetts; IL persons own
nearly one-fourth of Scotland; 70 per-
sons own about one-half of it, and
nine-tenths of the whole country be-
longs to fewer than 1,7OO persons.
Ireland contains 20,159,678 acres,
which makes it not quite the size OF
Maine. One person owns 170,119
acres, 202 hold about one-third of the
island 744 hold about one-half of all
the land.
Two-thirds of England and Wales
are held by only 10,207 persons two
thirds of Ireland by 1852 and two
thirds of Scotland by but 330.-N. Y.

A Quaint Dress of japan.
TO BE CONTINUED

The oldest dress in the world is prob
ably that described by French traveller
in Japan. 1t belonged to IN empress of
japan who lived in the thirteenth CEN
tury, and it has been kept all these cen.
turies in a temple near Yokohama,
where the priests sometimes exhibit it for
a sufficient reward. 1t is kept in an old
Golfer, and it is shrouded in white silk.
The robe. or robes, for there are seven
of them. are described as diaphanous
mass, crumbling at the edges with de-.
cay. The material is Grape or some
filmy stuff, and the effect must be like
that worn by Loie Fuller. 1t is made
with long train, pagoda sleeves and a
high collar like medicis cuff.
The upper layer was once white, and
is now the color of ivory, embroidered
with flying birds the size of crows, with
dragons head, green, blue and violet.
Then come seven layers of the silk mus
lin, yellow, blue. violet, old gold and
green, on which seem strange animals,
all in flight. The seventh, which touches
the body of the long dead empress, is
violet, embroidered with figures like
phantoms. The embroidery on this won
derful robe is said to be as transparent
as the gauze. The effect of the whole is
smoke colored.-Indianapolis Journal.

WE ARE GREAT LITIGANTS.
Moro Civil Lawsuits Here Than In Any
Other Country In tho World.

Other Country In tho World.
A man Of ingenious mind and appar
emily ample leisure has gone to the
trouble of figuring out the number OF
lawsuits brought in each country in a
year, and he has reached the conclusion
that the United States is better coun-
try for attorneys and counselors than any
other civilized land under the sun. He
figures as lawsuits civil actions only,
taking into no account proceedings Of a
criminal character brought by the pub
lie authorities against individuals. he
has ascertained that, taking the figures
for the last ten years as fair average,
there are 1850, 900 lawsuits brought in
England every year, 100000 in France,
1,400, 900 in Italy, s,S0o,oOO in Ger
many and 100000 in the United
States.
1t is not to be inferred from this that
the people Of one country are much more
prone to litigation than are the people
Of another, but the explanation is to be
found in the fact that the conditions Of
litigation vary exceedingly. Going to
law in England is very expensive bust
ness, for It entails outlays in the form
Of costs and expenses SO large that many
Of the courts are practically closed to
persons of modest means, and long
litigation unsuccessfully pursued ends
often in bankruptcy. In Franco the
number of lawsuits is kept down through
the general practice Of "arbitration, /"
as many as 100000 cases in q year,
especially those arising from disputes
over wages, being settled by this agency
without onerous cost to either party. In
Germany a great majority of cases are
petty ones, involving small amount Of
money and due, many of them, to Gus
toms or usages which are not sufficiently
defined to be, in all cases, similarly un-
derstood by both parties to all agree
ment. This is especially the case in the
farming districts of Germany, and there
are many legal disputes in the manu-
featuring districts too.
The number of cases credited to the
United States seems enormous, but IL
is probably accurate. There are, for ex-
ample, II district courts for the disposal
Of civil cases in New York city. In one
of these courts, by recent report, the
number of actions brought in year
was shown to be 9,100. These courts
have before them each year, on the
average, rs, 200 cases. The cases brought
in the state courts Of New York amount
in year to about $50, 900, and Of those
brought in the federal courts New York
furnishes very large number. Taking
the whole country through, it is seen
that the average number of cases per
thousand of population is i'll the neigh
borhood Of rs to 85. The number of
lawyers in the United States is material
ly larger than in any other country in
the world, and the amounts III dispute
here are much greater than elsewhere.

POORLY PAID JUDGES.
italian Legal Functionaries Have to Squeeze
Their Incomes From the Public.

italian Legal Functionaries Have to Squeese
Their Incomes From the Public.
In Italy any unfortunate who owes 10
per cent finds his little debt run up by
sheriffs' officers, tribunal expenses and all
the manifold charges of notaries, attorneys
and advocates to 200 per cent before he has
time to breathe or realize his situation, and
the forced sales are so conducted that the
property sold produces nothing for any
one except the state and the auctioneers.
The state takes its percentage first before
even the creditors, and thus Is caused the
avidity by which all state officials and
myrmidons drag to ruin by intrigue and
extortion a large majority Of the italian
taxpaying public. Note the salaries paid
to the officials of the tribunals In Italy,
and Judge If such officials are not invited
and forced to ruin the mass of the people.
Where county court judge in England
has 81, 900 or e. 900 year he receives
here the equivalent Of a40 or perhaps ESQ
per annum. All the lesser functionaries
are paid in proportion. The giudice con-
cilliatore who answers to the judge de La
paix in France, and to the police magis-
trate in England, is paid sometimes at the
rdCo OF 1SU pcr duuull, eoiiiooiincS hoo oo
all; the pockets Of the appellants at this
court must maintain him. 1t can readily
be understood that all these hungry func-
tionaries Of the law, big and little, live on
the public perforce, and that almost any
iniquity or Injustice may be obtained un-
der their rule if money be largely enough
and secretly enough expended. "Your
splendor Is my dishonor," said Bacon to
his magnificent liveried serving men, who
rose to meet him when he entered court to
stand upon his trial.
The Italian functionaries may say to the
italian Thcmis, "That we have coats to
our backs and rings on our fingers Is your
dishonor, for you do not pay us enough to
enable. us to got either honestly" Not
withstanding this miserable pay which
they receive, Italy spends on the admins
tration Of law 1876, 600, 900 francs-that Is
1000, 900 francs more than France Tin
comparison to tho population) and 49,
600, 900 francs more than England. The
public who contribute all these millions
get little or nothing for their money

LETTER CARRIERS IN THE ALPS.
Their Terrible Hardships In Winter and
Heroic Devotion to Duty.

Their Terrible Hardships In Winter and
Heroic Devotion to Duty.
Among letter carriers tho world over
probably there are few who undergo for 30
small pittance such terrible hardships as
those who carry the mails in the high Alps
in winter. They are paid but 20 cents per
day and frequently lose their lives in the
performance Of their duty. The world at
large hears of them but rarely, and then
only from some chance traveller who has
been snowbound in hospice In those high
attitudes.
The postman at Villar d'Arene, In the
Alpes Maritimes was badly frost bitten
last winter while making his rounds. A
Partisan journalist happened to be In the
village when the mail arrived and said to
him, "You have good excuse for not 60
ing over your route today, because you are
Ill and more than three feet Of new snow
fell last night"

know all that very well, but-que voulez-
Louis Jousset, which comes from Tonquin.
You cannot understand how impatiently
his parents are awaiting that letter from
their son. Every day they ask me, 'Is there
nothing from him yetp' They are anxious
about him. He Is 80 far away. And now q
letter has come, shall make them wait?
Oh, no. have not the courage, though I
fear from the pain suffer that neither the
postman nor the letter will reach their des-
tination."
On the way from Abries, on the French
side, to Bobbio, in Italy, some miles before
reaching the Col de La Croix, separating the
two countries, there Is house Of refuge,
which was built nearly 100 years ago by
the French government. For some time
previous to last winter it was kept by Q
cantonnier and his wife, but through care
lessness or complacence they allowed
Italian soldiers to come there and spy
across the border Last winter, therefore,
two gendarmes were stationed there, and
the place was furnished with telephone
to the village below. They were supplied
with provisions every two days by post
man named Blanc, from Abries, some
miles distant. The snow fell 80 deeply one
night in February that it filed the steep
pass which led to the house where the two
soldiers were stationed. Blanc, neverthe.
less, knowing that they would soon be
without provisions, set out to relieve them.
He did not return, and the next day his
body was found. The two gendarmes,
meanwhile, were starving, and 1t was only
at the risk Of their lives that some hardy
villagers rescued them two days later
New York World.
