belmont - Finally Detected. lie Was
Forced tn Resign From Clubs.

Henri Nj. Bracm. who died In Vien-
ma a few days ago, is remembered by
New Workers as the man whom the
late August Belmont drove into exile
sixteen years ago. BraCm was a club
man of great wealth and high social
position. lie was a trustee of Trinity
church, Danish consul general. and a
power in Wall street. August Belmont
was a banker. head of the Belmont
house, and father of the three Bel
mont boys, well known today for their
connection with Democratic politics,
their wealth, and the more or less
ta~lked-about marriages they have
made with Sloane and Vanderbilt di-
vorcees.
After four years OF unparalleled de-
tective work, Belmont discovered that
Henri Braem was the author OF anon
ymous letters, with which the Belmont
family were prosecuted for a long
time. He gave Braem the alternative
Of going TO the penitentiary or of re-
signing from his church, club, and Of
fees, and submitting to social ostra-
cism. Braem chose the latter. and for
a time en%deavored to live with his
family on a splendid estate at Lenox.
But the scorn of men who had known
and trusted him drove Braem at last to
give up the struggle for reinstatement
In business and society. He left New
York for Europe. and died the other
day of pneumonia, at Vienna, at the
age of a.

Snow as n Fertilizer.

Farmers have long understood and
appreciated the fact that snow is a
great fertilizer, but just why this is so
they have probably been unable to
say. Science has demonstrated that
snow in falling serves a double pur-
pose. The soft, damp flakes cleanse
the atmosphere of a very large amount
of impurities, carrying them to the
earth. The amount OF solid matter car
ried down in an ordinary snowstorm
and the cleanliness of the atmosphere
afterwards are best appreciated by
chemical analysis of the snow melted
into water and examined. Small par
ticles of SCOT, free ammonia and solid
matter are all taken from the atmos-
phere and precipitated upon the earth.

Time Marriage Tariff.

In olden times a tariff on matches
was established In France. in which
the various degrees Of wealth neces-
sary for a girl to enter the different
ranks OF French society were set down
as follows: A young woman with a
dowry of 1000 to 10000 francs a year
was a match for a retail trader, a law
yer's clerk or a b%ailiff; a dover of IL,
900 entitled n to aspire to a dealer in
silk, a draper, an innkeeper. a secre-
tary to a great lord; n with 20, 200
francs might look as high as an advo-
cate or a government officer of con-
siderable rank; n with from 10000
to 100000 francs might hope for a
marquis, a president of parliament, q

A wife with No Nonsense.

err living near Monmouth Junction, N.

liking. Tired of living alone and find
ing no woman in the n~eighborhood
who suited him Tor whom he suited),
he advertised for a wife who must not
be too young or too pretty, and who
had no foolishness about her" There
were several applicants and from the
number Collins selected Joanna Hase.
Joanna assured him that there was no
nonsense about her and that she know
all about taking care of a man, as she
had already had four husbands. The
couple seem to be getting along quite
satisfactorily.

to work, backed by all the resources
that money could command. Finally
n handwriting expert suggested that
the chirography was probably the
smooth. round hand of a woman copy
list. Several hundred women copyists
wrote at dictation, but none of them
in the hand Of the anonymous author.
About that time the typewriter came
into common use. and the letters ar
rived in typewriter form, and this
added a now and more difficult COM
plication to the case. Assuming that
the assassin Of character hired n public

him, a sweeping search was made Of

This was the beginning Of success.

There the typewriter girls informa-

that she had written the letter for n
dark, slender stranger. who wore a

surmised that he might be a broker.
He had let fall some remark about

Of the dramatic incidents OF real life
which rival the inventions of romance.
One point in the strange web Of his
tory has never been made plain, and
probably will never be, now that the
principals are dead. 1t Is not known
why Henri Braem eve wrote the in
eliminating letters to August Belmont.
Vaguely, a has always figured
In the background, as a I'M does
In so much of the Belmont history.
Braem was madly in love with a wom-
an, and this woman was the pivot on
which the sensational episode turned.
Belmont never chose to explain, and
Braem for reasons of his own kept a
close tongue.
August Belmont and Henri Braem
had been close friends. Why Braem
should turn upon his former intimate
with such ~unexampled and cowardly
fury must always remain more or less
of a mystery with shrewd guesses by
old-timers who knew both families
well. In 1880 anonymous letters be-
gan to reach different members of Au-
gust Belmont's family at varying in
tervals. Sometimes the letters came
every two or three weeks, sometimes
at intervals of several months. They
assailed the character of August Bel
mont in every way that malice and in
genuity could suggest. Belmont was a
man of large social connection and ex-
tensive business interests, and these
covert attacks became not only painful
but dangerous. Neither the handwrit-
ing on the letters, the paper, or the
place Of mailing gave the slightest
clew to the author. They were written
In various hands, and the stationery
was such as might be bought at a thou
sand stores In New York city. At the
instance OF Mr.. Belmont the police ex-
hausted the cunning of the department
In an effort to trap the writer OF the
letters.
II will spend $780, 900 to discover the
author OF these scurrilous letters" Bel
mont declared.
The banker took the case In his own
hands, and private detectives were set
