FOR THE CATSKILLS.
Hrs. Maybrick, From English Prison,
 Seeks Perfect Rest.


 NEW YORK, Aug, z4.-The only un- pleasant feature of the arrival of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who has been ab-- sent from her native country for tWen- ty-three years, fifteen of which have been spent i'll an English prison, was the morbid crowd of women who packed the American line pier here on the coming to dock of the Vaterland. Over a thousand Of them surrounded the dock, and when Mrs. Maybrick drove away to the home of her friends, Dr. and Mrs. Emmet Densmore Of Bay Ridge, they mobbed her carriage for a glimpse of her. She looked at them curiously, with little sarcastic curl at the edge of her lips.
 Mrs. Maybrick told her attorneys she felt perfectly safe in the hands of American newspaper men, and she very graciously posed for the photogra phers.
 The immigration authorities made no attempt to question Mrs. Maybrick. and the customs officers did all in their power to expedite the taking of her declaration and the passing of her bag gage.
 She left the pier on the arm of MT. Hayden. What the curious crowd saw was a slight, short woman with thin, worn face and 8 mass of brown hair. The simple gown of small black and white pattern of silk fitted her closely and was fastened at the waist with a wide black belt. The only bit of color tn her costume was heliotrope ribbon and a flower of the same hue in her hat. She was unveiled and smiled at the staring crowd. During the voyage across Mrs. Maybrick appeared few times at meals and in the cabin, but re- mained most of the time in her cabin. She was met at the dock by few close friends and was driven directly to hotel and after brief rest will make trip to the CatskilIs before her contemplated journey south.
 Mr. Hayden acknowledged that Mrs. Maybrfck was about to proceed in her suit for lands in Virginia and other states, which are said to be valuable, but declined to refer to the answer to the suit in which 1t is alleged that Mrs. Maybrick has no claim to the property and that the bringing of the suit was a trick to hasten the woman's release.
 Mrs. Maybrick's attorney upon land signed by Mrs. Maybrtck:
 T regret that the state of my health as well as business reasons prevents my talking to my friends of the American press at this time as I should like. To them and to my fellow country men and women I am deeply indebted for their efforts in my behalf, and I take this means for expressing my everlast- ing gratitude as well as words can and also to thank them for their congratu- lations on my release, which I regret I have not been able personally to &C., knowledge. ...
 Tt is on the advice of my counsel and my physician that have travelled incognito. I cannot express the feel ings of deep joy and thankfulness with which I return to my native land At the earliest opportunity I shall visit my birthplace, Mobile, Ala, and also Nor folk, Va, my home during my married life.
 ''I now believe, as have always, that God will in his own time right the great wrong that have suffered"
 Mrs. Maybrick in her room on the fourth floor of the Holland House said to her friends unhesitatingly:
 T deny all. I did not poison my hus- band. That is a cruel lie. I did not practice any deception on the British government to gain my liberty. Both statements are absolute lies?
