SHE Is MADAME DEvERE,
Ex-S Sheriff In Ohio Identifies Mrs.
Chadwick. as Former Prisoner.

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 2O.-"Yes. I think
Madame Devere and Cassie L. Chad
WICK are one and the same woman"
SO spoke John j. Stuart, former
sheriff of Lucas county, who held
Madame Devere during her incarcera-
ton in the Lucas county Jail and who
took her to the Ohio penitentiary in
1890. where she served "a term for
forgery.
When l took up the duties of
sherl1 the first prisoner l receiver
was Madame Devere." continued Mr..
Stuart. She tried many ruses to get
into my confidence. but was more sue
cessful in this with one of the turn
Keys. Later this turnkey acknowl-
edged himself one of her sweethearts.
and after she had been taken to the
penitentiary he visited her many times.
During her confinement i'm the To- .
ledo jail Madame Devere succeeded in
getting the prison guards to bring her
sweets ana choice edibles. which were
not supplied her in plentiful amounts.
Woman BIks a Guard.
After the madame hal been in the
Jail for month, she had succeeded i'm
getting the salary of one of the guards
for three successive months. after

to keep himself alive and told her he
could give her no more money. What
she did with the money is a mystery.
for it was of no use to her in the Jail.
"On the way to Columbus she raised
such a hue and cry about sitting in
the regular car that one of the guards
had to accompany her on the trip in
the ladies car. She said she did not
have to sit with ordinary people.
When we reached Columbus she Wig
orOusly protested against walking to
the penitentiary and demanded that
we call a cab which we did not do.
Generous TO MESSENGERS.
when l returned to Toledo | met
one of the managers of the local mes
senger service. He told me that on
one occasion a call was received from
the madam's apartments on Washing
ton street and when the boy returned
to the Office he said that she had paid
him $3.50 for filling her stove. On
another occasion this same messenger
service received call from Madame
Deyere, and it later developed that she
sent tn boy across the street for a
package of chewing gum and gave the
boy 80 cents
Mr.. Stuart said that when Madame
Devere had been paroled from the
penitentiary she told him such a pitt
full tale of being alone in Toledo with
out friends or money that he loaned
her the car fare from Toledo to Cleve-
land.

Whose Health Has Been, Poor.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 20.-From
circles in touch with the court it is
learned that the czarina's health has
been much improved since the birth
of the little cZarOwitz. Her old state
of depression has given place to ami
nation. formerly a quite unusual mood
for her majesty.
This change is giving great salts
faction to her encourage, for, While
the czarina used previously to be tacl-
turn and very serious, she is now
quite communicative and affable.

OFFICIALS ARE IN TROUBLE.
Grand Jury Starts an Investigation
Into Municipal Departments.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 20
The Bulletin says:
Under the leadership of it's daunt-
loss foreman, T. P. Andrews, the new
grand jury has undertaken an inves-
tigation of all the municipal board Of
fees and committees and the present
program contemplates the removal
from office of many officials. Several,
without doubt. will be sent to prison
to expiate the crimes of which they
are guilty.
The best that Mayor Schmitz can
expect is removal from office. His
connection with the grating scandals
will be thoroughly explained and the
facts will be drawn up in a present
ment. if not in an Indictment.
DissracefuI Episodes.
Abe Ruefs manipulations in many
of the disgraceful episodes that have
brought shame to the city, are to be
exposed ana he VIII receive just pun
ishment. The election commissioners
will undoubtedly be prosecuted for
felony, while many other commits
sioners will be removed. The grand
Jury in removing officers is expected
to proceed under section 772 of the
penal code, which does away with the
necessity for trial juries, and pro-
vides for summary hearing before a
court. The grafters are in a panic.
Here is the program of the new grand
jury.
The grafters and felons as we'll as
the tricksters and incompetents of the
Schmitz administration are to be
swept out of office, some of them into

more or less blocked with trees which
fell in when the water ate out the

The effect is to hold back the water

THE FAIR LAGOON DRAINED.
One of Its Walls Was Gazing In and Had
to Be Repaired-Omcial TOur of
Inspection ,TO-D Day.

St Louis, Worlds Fair Grounds, Ma,
12.-With the advent of warm weather
following the heavy showers of severa
days ago the worlds fair grounds have
begun to assume the garb of summer
natures green. The trees have sud
denly put forth foliage and grass is
rapidly springing up and the avenues
that two weeks ago were devoid Of
color are now fringed with grass and
trees in foliage, presenting a beautiful
contrast to the background of ivory
white buildings.
While workmen have engaged in hur-
rying to completion the installation of
exhibits the throngs have paid more
attention to the seats scattered here
and there along the sides Of the lagoon
and the Plaza Of st. Louis has become
a favorite resting place, situated as it
Is in the center of the exposition pic
ture and overlooking the main basin
OF the lagoon. Yesterday, however,
visitors were disappointed, as the la
COON was dry for the first time since
the opening day. 1t was discovered
that one of the walls of the lagoon
was caving In and the water would |
thereby be turned into the under
ground course of the River des Peres.
In order to make the necessary repairs
the water was drained from the la
COON.
To-day the official tour of inspection
of the exhibit places will be made by
The officials Of the exposition. This
our will indicate that the exhibits are
n the majority fully installed and the
'emainder are almost completed and 1,
he exposition will be declared ready
or bringing in visitors from all parts
