PAID WELL FOR HER DIVORCE.
Mrs. Reardon Wants G.. W. Howe Ar rested for Obtaining Money by.
 False PreIenSes %'.: -
False PreLenses.

Mrs. Mary. Reardon, 657 Minna street, applied for a warrant in Judge Joachim sens court yesterday for the arrest of George ". Howe. the disbarred attorney, on. a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses.. She alleged that she went to Howe in December last and engaged him to apply for a divorce from her husband, James Reardon.
 Howe" she said, represented himself as a practicing attorney and offered to. secure the divorce for $200. 1 had money in the Hibernia Bank and paid him the $200 out of it. Then 1 gave him $29 for witnesses fees. The divorce was granted by Judge Trout and Howe employed At torney J. w.. Carter to represent him in court
 "A few days ago went to the bank to draw out some money and found that 1t was all gone. l consulted Judge Cooney and he ascertained that 1t had been rep resented to Judge Troutt that my hus- band had money in bank, but that 1 was penniless and they got an order from him for $115, being $75 for their fee, $25 alfmo- ny for me and the rest for costs. A week later they got another order from the Judge for S135 on the same representations. Judge Cooney had them brought before Judge Trout and they promised to re- fund the money, but they have not done so. Judge Cooney has now made a for nal demand upon Howe for the return of the s229 I paid him and threatens to take the matter before the Grand Jury"
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Mann gave Mrs. Reardon letter to Howe ask ing him to appear in court this morning to explain his conduct, otherwise a war rant would be issued for his arrest.

 The board passed the bill granting T. V. Maxwell permission to fence his property at the northeast corner of Market and City Hall avenue This bill was passed over the Mayors veto.

BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of the Age Is Toward
Mural Decorations.

Probably at no time in the worlds history
has as much attention been paid to the in.
terror decoration of homes as at present.
No home, no matter how humble, is without
its handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surroundings more
cheerful The taste of the American people
has kept pace with the age, and almost
every day brings forth something new
in the way of picture, a draping, a
piece OF furniture or other form of mural
decoration. One of the Latest, of these has
been giver to the world by tho celebrated
artist, Muville, in a series of four handsome
porcelain game plaques. n Not for years has
anything as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American Wild Ducks, American Pheas-
ant, American Quail and English Snipe.
They are handsome paintings and are es.
pecially designed for hanging on dining
room walls, though their richness and beau.
ty entitled them to place in the parlor of
any home. These original plaques have been
purchased at cost of $4,000 by j. G. Hub
niger Bros Co., manufacturers of the cele-
brated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable
their numerous customers to become posses
sors of these handsome works of art they
have had them reproduced by a special
process, in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished ontheavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape of plaque and trimmed with heavy
band of gold. They measure forty inches
in circumference and contain no reading
matter or advertisement whatever.
Until September lst Messrs. j. C.. Hubing
er Bros. Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every pur-
chaser of three ten-cent packages of Elastic
Starch, fat-iron brand, manufactured by j..
c. Hubinger Bros Co. is entitled to receive
one of these handsome plaques free from
their grocer. Old and new customers alike
are entitled to the benefits of this offer.
These plaques will not be sent through the
mail, the only way to obtain them being
from your grocer Every grocer store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t is the
oldest and best laundry starch on the mar
ket and is the most perfect cold process
starch ever invented. 1t is the only starch
made by men who thoroughly understand
the laundry business, and the only starch
that will not injure the finest fabric. 1t has
beten the standard for quarter of century
and as an evidence of how good it is twenty
two million packages were sold last year.
Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and
tell you about Elastic Starch. Accept no
substitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time only and should be
taken advantage Of without delay.

church. The party went on a tour OF
visitation to the missions in the orient.
Among the distant lands they visited
were the Sandwich islands, China, ia
pan and India. The young graduate
was impressed with all he saw. The
missionary work, of which he was now
getting a practical knowledge, con-
firmed him in his resolution, and he
determined that when he returned he
would lose no time in entering the
theological seminary.
While at Yale he developed talent
for oratory. Hence, on two important
college ceremonials his classmates as
signed him the duty of making the
speech of the occasion. Therefore, he
has one important qualification for the
ministry, ready speech and correct die
ton.
One of his triumphs was the winning
of the Thacker prize of SIS for the best
speech by debate by a member of the
academic departm"Ht. He also eXhib-
tied talent for argument. In the an
nual competitive debate in Osborne hall
he was selected over host of competi-
tors to lead Yale's representatives in it's
Yale-Harvard debate, and he acquitted
himself with great honor.
With his wealth, present and prospec-
tive, he might lead an easy life. But
that is not his characteristic any more
thatn it is his elder brothers.
He is the youngest son of Anson
Phelps Stokes and a grandson of James
Stokes and Isaac Newton Phelps. He is
related to the William Z. Dodge family.
The city residence of the Stokes fam
lily is on the northeast corner of Mad
fson avenue and Thirty-seventh street.

dence, Shadowbrook Farm, LenoX, il
