How His DesertiOn Affected Ber-What
She Thinks of the "Child."
The wife of Adams when seen at
Chappaqua, Westchester county Sat
urday admitted that she had received
a letter from her husband. Adams,
according to her statement, left her
without income or funds. Although
used to life of comfort she accepted
her sudden poverty heroically. refusing
the means offered by her husbands
family. She hired the country seat
of George ID. Mckay at ChappaQua
and started Il boarding house.
Mrs. Adams does not believe the re-
ports of her husbands extreme ill
ness, although she thinks he may be
suffering from nervous trouble. Mrs.
Adams showed a deep emotion in
speaking of her children. Would you
consider Il reconciliation if Mr.. Adams
returned?" Mrs. Adams was asked.
IF he can prove that. as he declares
in his letter. he has not seen that girl
since he left New York last sdmmer,
1 would forgive all else" Mrs. Adams
said Il understand that on the 18th
of August, the last day she was seen
by her friends, she wrote letter
dated on the train and addressed to
her sister, in which she said that she
was unhappy and that she was going
away forever. This was the last heard
of her. Guilty or innocent, am sorry
for her.
Adams took an active part III nation
al politics in 1896. when he wasSem-
DIo1-ad nc cnaaLpr nv the Business
Mems Sound Money League. He also
lectured, sharing the forum with w.
Bourke Cochran and Rishop Spalding.
In a New York bank Adams had $lo,-
600. After his acquaintance with The
Girl of the Mystic Soul the bank ac-
count began to dwindle and there was
only about $4,000 to his credit in Au-
gust year ago. When he disappeared
the balance Of his bank account was
taken along.

On the question of favoritism in ap-
pointments he says: "Oliver III. Smith,
of Muncie, Ind, was an intimate
friend and associate of Perry S. Heath.
The latter, Nov. 20, 1897, wrote as
follows to the Washington postmaster:
1 have this day allowed you 5000 per
annum provide for the appointment
of Oliver III. Smith as a labOrer at the
several stations connected with your
office. Mr. Smith Will act in d dual
capacity, serving both clerks and car
riers. The free delivery division will
also make an allowance of 81 per day
to cover car fares and incidental ex-
penses for Mr.. Smith. who is, l believe,
to report on the morning of the 21st.
This is the gentleman whose appoint
ment has been frequently recommend.
ed by YOU
MIR. Heath used the expression at
your request or in connection with
your recommendation in connection
with many appointments concerning
which the postmaster was entirely ig-
nOrant, and for whose services, if he
received them at all, he had no use or
need" Dec. ID, 1897, Heath is repre-
sented as detailing o. H. Smith to
painting and erecting street letter
boxes, and Tulloch irtimates that
Smith did little for his salary.
Another case: THE postmaster one
day brought me an allowance of the
first assistant postmaster general, sal
ary and allowance division, July 27,
1898, appointing Emma James and Fan
ME r. Winans as cleaners or char
women for one year form July 1, 1897
at $500 per annum. Handing me Ihv
allowance he stated it was the inten-
ton of the department that the names
of the women should not appear on
any pay roll; that the parties desig-
mated should not know that the other
was in receipt of any money or had
any connection with the office. He
also stated that neither of them was
expected to report for any duty. This
