lMPERsoNATING NINE. D'ARvlLLE.
Shrewd Scheme of Woman to Sell
Her Furniture.

Ex-senator VIM. Brinkerhoff, of this
city counsel for Nine. Camille d'Arville.
the famous prima donna of the lyric
stage, today sent sharp letter to sew
eral New York newspapers who printed
had sold her furniture and irtirated bsi
inference that troubles with the landlord
precipitated the sale
The fact is that Nine. d Arville did nos
live in Forty-seventh street where the
sale took place. and her property was not
sold. She is now playing in Chicago,
and still retains her home in 1o6th street.
An obscure female with more business
acumen than honesty used Nine d Ar
villes name to advertise her sale, and
had the impudence to foist her boarding
pie as the property Of the gifted actress.
Senator Brinkerhoff's letter demanded
that public recital of these facts shoul;.
be made.
