For instance, noticed accounts how a

Made impossible leaps over Luna;
Unheard Of, because in the rarefied air
She would die in an instant or sooner.
"1nquiring, found that this marvellous
work
Was intended for children's perusal,
Though frankly. If I should be asked 70

would make a fiat footed refusal.
Pernicious indeed would the influence be

Excited no doubt by the shadows anc

Mrs. DR., Gilbert and herbro;ller

5ere arrivals this week from Cleve-
I Rnd. ut will be remembered that
he Journal in this city published
II item short time ago that
Mrs. Gilbert was intoxicated and
lad raised rumpus at, and had
oeen elected from Hotel Harvey.
Ia justice to Mrs. Gilbert, who
seems to have been getting the
worst Of affairs, 50 far as public
zepinion isseoncerned, we can state
positively that the lady was not in
atoxicated on that occasion. Res
lponsible parties have 50 assured
us who conversed with her but a
few moments before the row in the
Harvey occurred. Mrs. Gilbert did
get up ftem her table End in loud
voice Genounce another woman
who sat close to her and whe had
been InaAing such insulting re-
marks about her that it be came un-
bearable. They were informed by
the Harm y management that such
proceedings could not be coun.
tenanced and were told to leave.
They left The hotel and willingly,
they say, and that night left for
Cleveland, as they had intended to
do before the unpleasantness oc-,
CURED.
We have met both Mrs. Gilbert
and her brother. Mrs Gilbert is a
handsome women and has not the
appearance OF one who is a whis-
key fend, DIS has bee1 stated.
Her people are highly respected
IN Cleveland and she was
at one time proposed as president
4 Of the National Sorosis Club, a
well-know and select body Of young
woman. Shs has the appearance
Of one who, when angered, would
3 not hesitate to say what s h e
thought and say il good and loud;
4 but as for her being a drunkard,
we don't believe it. Her brother
is a brilliant young man apparent
1y and Is seriously contemplating
bringing an action against the
Journal for the publication Of the
item stated. Hs is an active poll
trojan in Cleveland and a persona
sriend Of Tom Johnson, Of Ohio, ane
he tells US they have big fight or
hand this year against MARI
Hannah and he ought be b cl
there to help his cause along
He says his family never consid
cred the difference between Mr.
and Mrs. Gilbert, as anyt hing
rnore serious than ordinary faa1ii,
differences and his sister woult
never tell, until just recently, he
reasons for complaint against he
husband, for the reason they were
40 he states, Of such an awful ane
depraved nature she shrank from
disclosing them. These things
have not been brought into cour
as Mrs. Gilbert refused to make
them public.
Mrs. Gilbert has been paintee
here as most abandoned drunk
ard. This is we believe, the only
serious charge brought az inst her
From what we can learn and from
s her appearance we unhesitatingly
state we do not believe it. Sh'
81 may have temper Of her own, bu
she certainly has had trials enough
to try saint.
Her and her brother are her

Later Judge MCGEE gave Mr.
Gilbert divorce and decided tina
