Authorities Are Informed He Is Short
Several Thousand Dollars In Ac-
counts with Clients.
PROMISES MADE TO ]. S. CRUISE
SCHNEIDER CLAIMED HE HAD BEEN
DEFRAUDED OF LARGE SUM.
His Wife Declares She Knows Nothing
of His WhereabOuts-Numb
of Claims Large.

The police were yesterday asked to To-
cate Charles c. Schneider. prominent
young real-estate dealer, with offices at 40
North Delaware street, under the name of
the C. c.. Schneider Agency.
Schneider left his home a week ago last
Thursday, telling his wife that he was go
ing to Lebanon to attend to some business,
and since that time he has not been seen or
heard from. The police were asked to ap-
prehend him, as II is alleged that he is
short in his accounts with his customers
to the extent of several thousand dollars.
LARGE BUSINESS DONE.
Schneider has been doing a general real
estate and rental business in this city for
about six years, and his dealings are said
to have been large. Several of his clients
recently pressed him for moneys due them
for rents which he had collected, and he
was unable to meet the obligations.
The accounts were put in the hands of
j. s. Cruise for collection. but Schneider
claimed that he had been defrauded of a
considerable sum of money and at that
time was unable to pay what he owed. He
promised. however, to turn the money over
to Mr.. Cruise within few days and Mr..
Cruise agreed not to prosecute him, pro-
vided he did as he said. He told of COM
missions due him from deals in different
cities which, he said, would more than pay
his obligations.
Yesterday it developed that there were a
number of claims against him which were
unpaid, and his liabilities. it is said, will be
large.
HIS WIFE'S STATEMENT
Patrick Harity, of No. 47O2 North Della
ware street, is one of the clients who has
presented claim against Schneider, and it
is said there will be many others.
Mrs. Schneider, when seen last night said
she had not seen or heard from her husband
for over a week and she claims to know
nothing about his business affairs He left
home, she said, telling her that he was GO
ing to Lebanon to attend to some business
and she has heard nothing from him since.
Mr.. Cruise. when interviewed about the
strange disappearance Of Schneider, said
he had known the young man for a number
of years and had always considered him
strictly honest and trustworthy. He stated
however, that he had been obliged to press
his claims against him very hard, and up
to the present time he has had no remit
tances, although promises were made.

BAN ON A FREE SCHOOL
CATHOLICS CANNOT ATTEND HELEN
GOULD'S INSTITUTION.
Father Early Says the Children Ate
Meat on Friday and Sang
Hymn at Opening.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y, Nov. 1S.-Rev. T.
j. Early. rector of the Catholic Church of
Irvington, has forbidden the children of
Catholic parents in his parish to attend the
sewing school which for years has been
sustained by Miss Helen NJ. Gould. About
800 children attend the school. Father
Early's first objection was made when some
of the Catholic children attended luncheon
given by Miss Gould on Friday. At this
luncheon meat was served and the Catholic
children partook of 1t unmindful of the day.
AS soon as Father Early learned of this he
put the school under a BAN Since then
there has been some correspondence be-
tween the priest and Miss Gould. Another
thing the priest objected to was that a
hymn was sung at the opening of the af-
fair In her reply to that complaint Miss
Gould told him il had been her wish to have
daily sessions of the class by reading from
the Scriptures. but out of Difference TO the
Roman Catholic children she had refrained
from having this done. In the future her
original wish will be carried out
Miss Gould made a statement to-day say
ing in part: "At the annual party ON the
last Friday In September among the re-
freshments served were sandwiches and
when the Irvington Catholic pri st heard of

ing out quite n number of children. OF
course they need not have eaten the sand

sewing has been in existence since Miss
Gould was young girl. when she taught
sewing TO the daughters of men employed
upon her fathers place. II has developed
into school of about 800 pupils, among
whom are Protestant and Roman Catholic
children. The instruction ranges from kim
dergarten department to the making of
shirtwaists. suits and simple dresses No
ban has been placed on the school by the
Tarrytown or North Tarrytown priests.

VIOLATED THE GAME LAW
GROVER CLEVELAND FAILED TO
TAKE OUT LICENSE IN VIRGINIA.
Law REQUIRES that Nonresidents Pay
SO Before They Can Shoot I'm
the Old Dominion.

NORFOLK, Nov. 1s.-President Cleveland
who Is cunning on the preserves OF the
Back Bay Gun Club in Princess Anne coun-
ty, so far has had such poor luck that not
enough game has been bagged to send Mrs.
Cleveland her usual box preceding the ex-
Presidents home coming. The probabilities
are that the Cleveland party will spend two
more days at Back Bay and return on
Saturday.
1t has developed that Mr.. Cleveland and
the nonresident members of his party have
rendered themselves liable to arrest and
a considerable fine for violating the new
gaming law of Virginia, which requires ev-
cry nonresident to get a $40 license before
he shoots game in this State. None of the
Cleveland party has obeyed this law.

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED
BY RUSSIAN ENGINEER.
Remarkable Recovery Of an English
Woman v0uched for by the Amerf-
can Consul at Moscow.

MOSCOW. Nov. 1s.-Remarkable cures Of
consumption have recently been effected in
Russia by Hisel Zagoranski. formerly a
mining engineer. and now specially licensed
by the Russian medical department to
practice medicine in cases OF tuberculosis
Zagoranski has given an account of the
origin of his consumption cure, from which
1t appears that thirty years ago he was
sent to Siberia to superintend extensive
mining works. The medical facilities there
were extremely limited, and Zagoranski
himself attended to the medical wants of
the workmen to the best of his ability An
old foreman of the mine. however, always
took care of the tuberculosis cases and al
most invariably cured them. The foreman
died some years ago. confiding his tubercu-
losis specific to Zagoranski, who continued
to use 1t.
Hearing rumor that John D. Rockefel-
ler. of the United States, had offered an
immense prize for the discovery of a con-
sumption cure, he consulted American Con-
sui Smith. who. with his brother, w. E.
Smith. began a systematic observation of

LOCAL BOOK PLATES WANTED
Wilmington Institute Free Library
Would Like to Start Such
a Collection.

With the increase in the love of
books comes greater pride in the per-
sonal ownership of the volumes in
ones own library. One Of the best
ways OF marking such ownership is by
pasting a label on the inside front
cover. In some cases such label,
which is variously called a book-plate
or eX-lihris, may include simply the
name OF the owner or il may take the
form of coat-of-arms or some draw
ing symbolic of the tastes OF the
owner or of the character Of his collec-
tion. The collecting Of such plates has
been made a hobby by many individ
uals and a considerable number of Ii
braries have fine collections of the
book plates of individuals or of other
libraries.
AS it is likely that a considerable
number OF people in this city have
book plates to mark the ownership OF
their books, the Wilmington Institute
Free Library would ask all such people
to present copies of their plates to the
library to form part of a collection of
local plates II is desired TO have not
only plates now i'm use by residents,
but the plates of former Wilmington
ians as well. If there are any families
having copies of plates which were
used by their ancestors, such plates
would be of special interest If brought
together at the Free Library. All such
gifts win be carefully preserved, and
If there is any considerable response to
this request. a special exhibit Of the
plates at some future time would be of
interest.

interested in the team in the interest
Of the organization of a team for Dover.
Mr.. Waller has received letters from
these players who say they are willing
to wear Dover uniform this summer:
Pitchers Hafer. Vananda, of last years
team; Barthold, who played with Ches-
ter and Smyrna last year; Vinson, who
was a star performer in the box for
|Sudlerville, Md; Walker. who pitched
on the Wilmington, Middletown and
Dover teams last year: shortstop Sand
herr, who played great game OF ball in
that position for the Wilmington and
Dover teams; Flint. who played part
of the season with Dover; Templin, of
Smyrna and Chester last year, and
johnson, the heavy hitting out fielder
Of Dover; Mullin and Hoover, who
played a rattling game in the inield
for the State Capital nine last year. III
is thought that several of these players1
will be signed by the Dover manage
ment though IL has been noticed that
Sandherr, Hafer and Johnson have
been slated with other managements.
Besides these playens, there are sew
eral town boys who made an excellent
record last year w. L. Cariss. was

hitting outfielder, and Eddie Griffith.
