of old masters long since departed TINS
life. With her at this time was
fine-looking parsonage called Gen. Dlss
de Bar and their two children When
it became known that Mr. Marsh had
decided his house and other property
to this woman, his friends, without ms
knowledge, instituted suit and the Diss
de Bars were lodged in the Tombs- The
trial and later developments proved
how her great personal power had
been exercised on-a1l classes of peo-
pie, from those of great wealth and in
telligence, to the poorest and most lg-
norant. Her greed and love of power
would allow her to pass no one by.
She has been enabled to drive. fine
horses and live sumptuously. In court
she boosted that she hadrealized $780,
600 per year by her performances in cc-
cultisn. She served a term on Black
wells island on minor charge, also in
! an Illinois penitentiary for obtaining
money on fraudulent checks
In Chicago, as Vera Ava, she married
an old man named Smith, from whom
she obtained large sums and then Dir
vorce. About this time, it is said, she
was DESTROYS of obtaining admission
to Prophet Teed's Chicago community,
but it is probable that the prospect OF
material gain was so small that She
gave up the project, Koresh having a
well-esta blished reputation for tight
grasp on any dollars which happened
to fail within the grasp of his fingers.
Before meeting Mr.. Marsh, Diss de Bar
had a period of dissipation in New
York. Drinking and cigarette smok-
ING landed her in Bellevue hospital,
where She attempted to killa physician
and stabbed an attendant. After
spending a season in Wards Island in
sane asylum, she married young
Italian, who soon died It would be
hard to keep track of the matrimonial
adventures of this enterprising per-
sonage. After the Marsh episode her
vanity led her on to the comic opera
stage, where she is said to have worn
the largest tights ever manufactured.

During the last few years deep sor-
row has existed in her old Kentucky
home, caused by one of the most in
famous of the latter class, the notori-
Gus Ann Odelia Diss de Barr. Many
stories are told concerning the origin
of the woman, among which is her
claim to be the daughter of King Lud
wig of Bavaria and Lola MonteZ, a
dancer. Her respectable parents are
named Salomen, and at one time the
New York police received a sad and
earnest request from her mother to
place her in an asylum for the insane.

The roars and laughter of the audience
caused her to retire in tears. And yet
"a refined, educated young man, who
met her soon after, refers to her as

by her personal magnetism appealed
to her morbid, dissatisfied victims in
a manner which person with healthy

Her latest exploit has so disquieted
London as to cause the arrest of the
Jacksons, now known as Laura and
Theodore Horos. They founded a re-

Unity and Purity league, one of the
most outrageous and indecent zsoci-

similar to the following appeared:

In many countries the Christmas

the angels partook of the earthly
food. Denmark, even at this time,

guage seems to need at the present

Marsh, who had just lost his wife and,
feeling DESTROYS of obtaining mes

into the hands of the adventures, who
was masquerading as Princess Editha.
The ascendancy which she gained over
Mr.. Marsh led to one of the strangest
cases ever told before the New York
courts. The lawyer had one of the
most extensive practices in the coun-
try, and as attorney for large corpora
lions and individuals of great wealth,
transacted millions of dollars worth
of business. His reputation for keen
