\ New Phase OF the Case.
(RN the Associated Press. J

New York, Dec. 1.-The announce
ment that one of the largest creditors
of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick. the Cleve-
land woman whose financial affairs
came into prominence in a sensational
way a few days ago, had agreed upon
a settlement, has given a new phase
to this strange case. At the same time
the air OF mystery which has sur
rounded every turn thus far made was
still present today and there was absO-
lutely nothing beyond conjecture to in
dictate what the outcome would be.
That all the legitimate claims against
Mrs. Chadwick win be met is the
statement made by her attorneys, but
at the same time they decline to say
anything as to the source from which
the necessary funds will be obtained.
Mrs. Chadwick will produce the
necessary collateral to meet all just
obligations at the proper time. We
do not feel called upon to inform the
public as to the nature of this cOllat-
eral or whence it will come.
This statement in brief covers the
attitude taken by Mrs. Chadwick S
legal advisers.
I'VE are now in a position to state
that Mr.. NeWton'S claim will be paid
in full, and we have gone so far that
we are not relying any more on mere
promises"
This statement concerning his
clients present position was made to-
day by Arthur Stearns, the Cleveland
lawyer, Representing Herbert d. New
ton.
Edmund w. Powers, counsel for
Mrs. Chadwick, made u statement re-
garding the case this afternoon, He
said that the total Indebtedness to
Mr.. Newton was approximately $780,
Snn of this he said STS GOO
money actually owed and due, Sos 900
was due to bonuses TO be paid for the
accommodation and $4,000 was owed
on two, notes of $25,000 each, which
would not mature for year.
She Has Ample Money
Mrs. Chadwick has ample money
to meet her debts" said Mr.. Powers.
she has over 100000 in her own
right. is true she paid over to her
husband $2,500,000 some time ago,
but she had enough to meet all of
her debts, which tota, about $500, 600"
Mrs. Newton had a long conference
with his attorneys here during the
day when the situa Ion with regard to
a settlement of the claim against Mrs
Chadwick was thoroughly discussed.
AT the conclusion of the conference
George Ryall, Mr.. Newton's local
counsel said:
I'VE are now satisfied that Mrs.
Chadwick has ample means with
which TO meet al our claims and that
she means to do So 1t is now only
question of arranging the details of
the settlement.
our claims will be the very first to
be settled and it viii be settled in a
very short time. 1 have seen Mrs
Chadwick and / am satisfied that she
is not the woman She has been rep
resented to be in some quarters; that
perhaps she has been careless in mon
ey matters but that she means to hon
eStly pay all legal claims against her.
A proof of this fact. | think, is that
she has many powerful friends who
are seeing her through her present
difficulties.

Our text today is the story of the

straw, of which he gave him small

Just as the miser had got him SO
trained as TO eat one straw II day

He is an ass who starves himself to

One thing is sure rs shooting.
You can never get a new stomach
You must mend it. or it will lead
you a miserable existence.
The only way to mend ii is to take
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scien-

thousands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,

These methods are ali unscientific-
