that I am not a married man. Mr.. Charles
w. Eatmon, 1872 Ash street, Chelsea. Mass,
December 20, 1898.
The above was not, as some weary bene-
dict might imagine, an e~xultant proclama-
ton by Mr.. Eatmon Of his own freedom from
matrimonial ties; neither was It, as some
yearning bachelor might believe, a shrewd
move on the part Of the advertiser to put
himself in a conspicuous place as a can
didate for marriage.
1t was simply an earnest and sober effort
Of Mr.. Eatmon to clear himself Of certain
endorsements which have been imposed
upon him by an unscruplous enemy.

Mr.. Eatmon to give his affairs the publicity

course of his affections for an estimable

woman have been greatly worried lately By
repeated assertions that Mr.. Eatmon Is al

These stories, Mr.. Eatmon asserts, are the
inventions Of an enemy of his, Not only has
this enemy told the troublesome stories
verbally. but he has written several letters
to friends and relatives OF the young man
defaming his character.
Mr.. Eatmon declares that he knows who
this enemy is. and that II the annoyances
continue he will prosecute him. The enmity
is said by Mr.. Eatmon to be the result Of
Jealousy. In the publication Of the ad-
vertieement Mr.. Eatmon has sought to
legally deny the stories that are injuring

had no clear idea of the transaction,
but understood that on paying the
premiums promptly he would be emit
tied to S., 900 some time. He began
bothering the agent for the money after
a couple of weeks had passed, and the
agent tried to explain to him that he
would have to die before he could get
it. The Chinaman fell down cellar
way and was badly hurt. His friends
tried to attend to him without calling
in a doctor. When they did call one in
two days later, the doctor was angry.
"Why didn't yOu call me sooner?' he
asked. This man is half dead now"
