man Of SIS, who speaks French, Span
ish, German Greek and Italian. He is
known from New York to Chicago and
has attended banquets, state fetes and
celebrations of note. Among the Greeks,

named Polyrnero, for defamation of
character, on the ground that Polylnero

that OF a woman in society. Vlasto
made repeated efforts to settle the suit
for a nominal sum. VI

a bloodless duel in the Tenderloin,
March IA, 1895. On this occasion two
men met on Broadway at Thirty-sec-
ond. both We're armed with walking
sticks. One offered his hand; the other
refused it. Then each began to belabor
the other with his stick n they fought

self as John II. Leotsakos, instructor in
languages and tutor of Wastes son.
Vlasto asserted that his adversary had
written letters to Athens. which cast
aspersions upon him. Vlasto was ar
rested as instigator Of the row.
In July, 1885, Vlasto who had been
holding q controversy in his paper
with A. Romanos, formerly Greek con-
sui in London, challenged the latter to a
duel, and managed to be quoted In the

band for alleged neglect of the obliga-
lions he assumed OF November Is, 1876,
at the Little Church Around the Cor
ner." Mrs. Vlasto is an English wom-
an.
vlasto explained the matter with
these words:
ut is all the result OF a conspiracy
| to depose me as president of the New
York Greek Athens society, a char
liable organization. Ambitious persons
have worked upon the mind Of my wife
and inspired her with jealousy. She is
naturally suspicious, and has been led
by ins1nuations against me-"
This incident was followed on July
"a, 1898, by the application of Mrs,
Vlasto in the supreme court, for a legal
separation, Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll
being her counsel. A subsequent appli-
cation was made for alirnony and
counsel fee, Mrs. Vlasto alleging that
her husband had used her cruelty and
neglected to support her.
Vlasto has been a welcome guest at
the home Of Senator Clark for the last
year and has been on an equal foot
ing in the house of his son-in-law, DR..
Culver.
When the suit for divorce was begun
against DR.. Culver, Henry G. Atwater,
counsel for Mrs. Culver, said:
'Dr. Culver has entered a general de-
NAL. The taking of evidence will be
completed as rapidly as possible, and
the suit should be decided within the
next month or so. All the proof is not
DR.. Culver and his wife have been
living apart for about a year. Until
January last they occupied apartments
In the Navarro, No. ITS West Fifty
eighth street, where Senate Clark has
stayed. In January Dr.. Clark went to
live in he Berkshire Kills, at his wife's
request, it is said. Mrs. Culver went
abroad last spring and has spent nearly
ali the time since IN Switzerland and
france. The suit for divorce was i'm
mediately pressed upon her return, and
a referee was appointed In the supreme
court at White Plains.
