Her Husband Leaves Brooklyn and Writes
n Mysterious Farewell Letter.
= Madame Leila yenth who conducts a musical
conservatory in Brooklyn announced yester-
day that her husband Prof. Carl Venth. the
violin vrtuoso. had left her and gone from
Brooklyn also and that she would sue for
a divorce when she learned his whereabouts.
Prof Venth has been o notable figure in
Brooklyn musical circles. Some years ago he
was a member Of Anton Seidl's orchestra He
afterward eeta blished a musical school and his
wife. who is an accom- plshed musician. assisted
him. They auarrelled and Yenth left homo
year ago. For tho sake OF their 16-year- old
daughter Elsa. the couple said nothing about
for music at the Pouch mansion In Clinton
avenue. His wife contin ued the old conserva-
tory. Last April the professors pupils gave a
public concert at the mansion and Madame
Venth assisted. In order to avert gossip.
In the latter part OF June Madame Venth re-
celyed the following letter:
Ny Dear Leila: Farewell to yourself and Elsa
May God bless you both. Should we not meet
you again in this life you may rest assured that
/ will never forget you. Circumstances
stronger than my wishes compel me to leave.
II can ever return shall do so. Farewell.
CARL VENTH.
Yesterday she said she had a letter written
by woman which would figure in the case.
At the Pouch mansion 1t was stated by the
manager that Prof. Venth was understood to
be In Europe and was expected to return to
open the school on Sept. 10

sary to tear up the roof in order to get at the

markab BILE that it should have appeared so long

think that either spark got into tho Monsoon

definite arrangements in regard to the oo-

cietios at the Dewey reception.
The following circular notice will be sent out
to persons living in houses along the line oftho

tions. in order to obtain uniformity in decora-
ton.
I'VE would suggest that the residents along
the line OF march restrict the mass OF decora-
ton on their houses up to the third story win
dows. making this the EN- phasis line along the

ancs OF unity 10 what would otherwise be
struggling. irregular mass OF decoration
Below this line It Ia proposed that individual
taste and discretion be exercised. although We
have these further suggestions to make: That
festoons Of flowers, leaves or bunting can be
swung from window sill to sill on the third
story windows; that upright lines OF bunting
be strung from the line Of the third-story Win
dow sill to that OF tho first In the space between
the windows. Besides the National colors. we
would also advise the use OF the colors OF the
Navy blue and white. with accents OF gold; also
ropes OF laurel. 1t will be seen that mono OF
those decorations obstruot the view from any
window. Those who do net wish to use the
festoon between windows may use wreaths.
eagles or other emblems. coats OF arms OF the
nation, State or city between the thlrd-story
windows at the upper extremity OF the upright
strip OF bunting. In all cases 1t would DO
advisable II the residents OF each block would
get together and carry out any OF these aug
gestions throughout the entire block. leaving

WASHINGTON. Sept. THE suggestion has
been made upofficially to the Treasury De-
partmsnt that squadron OF revenue cutters
be ordered to New York on the occasion Of Adj
miral Dewey's arrival. to take part in the ma
rine parade which will escort the Olympia up
the harbor. No action to this end has been
taken owing to the fact that the department
has not been invited by the Citizens Commit
tee to order cutters to New York on Dewey
Day. There Is no doubt that tho Treasury De-
partment would respond favorably II such an
invitation should be extended. for the propriety
OF having these vessels assigned to such a
duty. in view OF tho prominent part some OF
them took in the Spanish war is appreciated.
The Mccullough was in the battle Of Manila.
but that vessel could not be sent to New York.
as her present station is at San Francisco. The
Hudson, whose remarkable action saved the
torpedo boat Winslow from destruction at Car
denas. is at New York and could be detailed to
take part in the Dewey parade. The Onandaga.
Algonquin. Gresham and Manning are at Phila-
delphia on account OF the Grand Army Encamp-
nent there. and the Window is at Baltimore.
All these vessels could be sent to New York tho
last OF this month. They comprise the best
collection OF cutters in the service.
