Madame Sans Gene De La Cartere,
sorceress, wi zardess, medium. who
claims to be diyinely skilled in the
art of legerdemain, and who has been
holding forth IN her charmed abode at
1871 Eoff street, in the silent watches
of Wednesday night folded her tent
about her and quietly stole away.
No one knows whence she came nor
whittier she went, but many care.
The latter number is made up Of
some or the elite and richest young
ladies and widows of the city, who. ii
they dared, could tell story that
would make all the gold brick tales
fade like snow undera July sun, and
would prove beyond question that all
the fools have not yet been planted
beneath the sod
Madame Sans Gene Cartere was
plausible and impressive conversation
alist and although her name might
indicate that she had come from the
wicked hamlet of Paris. yet the mel
liffuous tones Of her voice called to
mind magnolia blossoms and palmetto
trees, and a familiarity with southern
dialect. 1t was through her charms
of person and speech that she captured
the unwary and love-sick girls aud
widows who had shed their weeds
were attracted TO her and sought
through her magic charms an early
and sure way of securing husband.
THE USUAL DEPOSIT.
According TO the Madame there was
never any doubt of her ability to Sc
cure the said second party but before
the goods could be delivered IL was
necessary TO deposit stipulated sum
ranging in amount according TO the
rating in Bradstreet's OF the party Of
the first part. II 1t was impossible
for the seeker after a life's partner TO
liquidate in sufficient amount of
Uncle Sans coin, the sorceress was
willing TO take diamonds In lieu
thereof and in consequence she was
able to increase her stock OF shining
beauties. One young lady whose name
can not be mentioned made deposit
of $75 skinner" and another more
credulous dame and also of more ma
ture years left as an exhibition OF
good faith, two valuable rings, one Of
which had been presented to her years
ago by a sweetheart who had ceased
to love her, but whom she fondly
hoped to bring back to the altar.
One still older and sadder widow,
whose husband had long since wing
ed his way to more peaceful habita-
tion, went down in her purse for 5000
with which Madame Sans Gene assur-
ed her she would within very short
period produce much better looking
and more congenial chubby" than the
one she now mourns. For those who
were not able to go quite 50 deep in
the matrimonial line she charged the
modest sum of five and ten.
SHOWED NO FAvoRs.
1t must be said, however, to the
lady's credit that she gave as much
hope to the plain people as she did to
to the sFour Hundred" and every
young lady, howsoever poor in this
worlds goods, who sought her magic
diu was PROMISED cOuJuRdi Ieiicluy
even though she was forced to deposit
her waterbury watch for the assur-
ance.
These stories of womaus creduiity
perhaps would have never been known
had not the lady with the southern
accent prematurely decided to change
her habtation: but when IL became
knnvvn that eha had talpn hpr naysfa-
rious flight, police headquarters was
oyerrun with members of the femi-
nine sex pleading that their valuables
and money be returned at all hazards.
Chief Cleman's heart was touched,
and he had warrant issued for Miss
Carter and IL may be she will decide
to renew her acquaintance with the
