A Private in Great Demand.

Private 5. u. Wilson, of the Signal
Corps, who will be remembered for his
sensational $4,000 suit against Glen
ent, of Vermont, IS due at Fort
Myer this evening. His twenty-day leave
has expired, and though he has applied
for an extension of twenty days more,
it has not yet been granted.
II Private Wilson's additional leave
is not granted by this evening his name
will be placed on the list of those lab
sent without leave" If he does not pre-
sent himself at the post within the next
ten days he will be considered a desert
er and be treated as such. The case Of
Wilson VS.. Clement has not vet been
tried in the State of Vermont, though
it was on this plea that the Signal Corps
man obtained his leave.
Private Wilson was employed by the
Government as Secret Service man IN
the last campaign for governor of YER
mont. There was considerable mob vio-
lence during the close campaign, and
Wilson was attacked By crowd of 200
men. He was alone, and in self-defense,
he was Obliged to kill Edward Goshea, a
Frenchman. Wilson was tried, but ex-
onerated
Notwithstanding this, Wilson claims
that Clement used the killing of Goshea
as campaign thunder during his stump
speeches On the advice of his lawyer
Private Wilson brought suit against
Clement for $50, zoo, and, on telling the
officers of the Signal Corps that he was
summoned to appear. received twenty
day furlough

sohn. She is: at the present time booked
for forty-1ve concerts in the principal
cities of the United States, including New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincin-
natl, st. Louis and San Francisco. Mon
treal and Toronto are the only two Cana
dian cities which she will be heard in. In
the spring she is to sing at the Cincin-
natl Festival and other music festival en-
gagements. 1t is quite doubtful If she
will be heard at all in grand opera this
winter. Nine. Schumann-Heinks tour
in light opera will not begin until a year
from next September and not next fall,
as has been stated in some of the papers.
Nine. Schumann-Heink has been very
severely criticized for this new departure
and wild laments are heard from every
quarter. The Musical Leader and Con-
certgoer regards the situation as follows:
What are we coming to, and where are
we standing-is a Question that many Of
us must ask in the face Of certain condi-
tons. Here is one of them: After next
year in OPERA at the Metropolitan and
tour which has never been surpassed by
any singer, Schumann-Heink, the leading
Wagnerian contralto of the world, will
forsake that art to become singer of
light opera, buffoon artist, OF anything
you choose to call it. Time is long, and
art is fleeting-also Mammon is God art
and everything. Cold bloodedly, there are
three years with 100000 a year. And
there is no paper and no ink that will hold
the sort Of things that some of us think
about it. How fortunate those great
artists are who died before such degrada-
ton was possible"
| Nine. Blauvelt, the American soprano,
who recently completed a very successful
season in grand opera at Covent Garden
in London sailed for America on the Phil
adelphia from Southampton, England,
Saturday, Aug. 1.
| She will remain in America till the lat
| ter part of October, when she will return
| to England for her annual concert tour,
in which she will be supported by four of
the greatest artists in that country.
Nine. Blauvelt's recent appearances at
Covent Garden constituted her English
operate debut, altho she had previously
sung in grand opera in Paris, Berlin,
Milan and St. Petersburg. During the
| five previous seasons, however, she had
devoted herself to the concert platform.
At Covent Garden Nine. Blauvelt sang
Marguerite in Faust" Juliet in Romeo
and Juliet" Micaela in Carmen" Ter
lima in Don Giovanni and Susanna in
THE Marriage Of Figaro" scoring a
marked personal success in each role
even surprising her most sanguine friends

Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering,

II is we'll known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any OF
the other diseases that aflct humanity. The
great medicinal virtues Of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar.
garet Bethel, OF Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had a desire TO end
her life, if it was the will Of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven-directed, she made use OF Palne's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying frye life
once more. She says
"For thirty years have been great sut-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such burden that
almost prayed to lay it down. was bedfast
every two weeks with horrible pain IN the
head, back, and neck, until was almost
crazed. am able to do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years. |
am really enjoying life again, thanks to
Paine's Celery Compound. l am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years
by its use"

Hoo. Geo. NJ. Bowers Charges Blackmail

United States Fish Commissioner
George NJ. Bowers, of Martinsburg,
one of the most prominent Republicans
in West Virginia and leading figure
in local banking circles, has been made
the defendant in suit for $4,000,
the preliminary papers of which were
fled with the clerk Of the circuit court
in Martinsburg last Saturday. The
plaintiff is John Creque, the son of a
saloonkeeper and former bartender
in the establishment conducted by his
father.
Creque alleges that Mr.. Bowers is
responsible for the alienation Of the
affections of Creque's wife. The latter
is said to be in Baltimore, where she
went three weeks ago, and FROM which
point it is claimed she has written to
her husband to be allowed to return
home. The papers in the suit were
served upon Mr.. Bowers by Sheriff
Stuckey on Saturday, but the story
did not become known until the next
day.
Mr.. Bowers was seen by reporter,
and in response to an inquiry frankly
admitted that notice had been served
upon him that such a suit had been
filed. He stated, however that he did
not care to say much for publication
until he was acquainted with the
ground for the action. In language
that was both vigorous and positive he
characterized the whole transaction
as the scheme of blsckmailer.
"Why, it was only few hours be-
fore the preliminary papers were filed,
said Mr.. Bowers, that this fellow
Creque met me on the street and de-
manded $25, 900 in cash, stating that
unless I consented to give him that
sum he would enter suit in the courts
and blacken my character before the
world. l told him in the most en-
phstic language at my command that
l had several times the amount de-
manded for my defense, but not a
single dollar to contribute to a black
mailer. At this point Creque left me,
and the first intimation | had OF the
suit was when the papers were served
upon me last night.
GAS to the charge, it is too ridiculous,
too absurd, for any reasonable man to
believe, and | am confident that there
lie not a fair-minded person who knows
me that will place the slightest cred
ence in the story. 1t Is a cleverly
concocted scheme to extort money from
me, but I am not a good subject for
blackmail. In conclusion, | ask that
my friends withhold judgment on this
matter until | shall have finished with
it.
Mr.. Bowers is one of the most pop
ular and widely known men in gov
eminent circles in the East and has
many powerful friends in this section
who have rallied about him. Owing
to his prominence the affair is bound
to attract widespread attention.
We understand that public sentl'
ment at Martinsburg is almost entirely
in favor Of Mr.. Bowers, and that there
/. no probability that any discredit
will be fastened upon him by Creque''
suit.
