The reading public will recall the
occasion when a white chambermaid
in an Indiana hotel refused to make
up the bed in which Booker Wash
ington had slept. It will further be-
recalled that she was at once the re-
cipient of numerous offers Of marriage
from admirers all over the country. It
now appears, for We confess that we
had not followed closely the fortunes
of this spirited young woman, that
she accepted one of these offers and
became Mrs. Levi e. Hadley. Phe
fact might have escaped our attention
but for the announcement that her
former admiring sultor has now sued
for a divorce on charges of cruelty
He takes oath, that his wife has an
ungovernable temper and frequently
strnck him. Thus is the romance
dispelled. After all, one takes chances
when marrying heroine; she is
rarely willing to recognize the ma
jesty of a mere man, as Mr.. Hadley's
bruises bear witness. s.-State.

GIRcUMsTAATIAL EVIDENCE.
A Case in Which it Would Have
Told Against an Innocent Man.

"Ssveral years ago I took a late
train from Boston to New York; said
man Of business in Kansas City.
In the morning was awakened ear
lier than usual by the porter, who
said that robbery had been commit
ted on the sleeper during the night
and that all the passengers would
have to get up. Some one had taken
SIX one-hundred- dollar bills from the
clothing of a gentleman who occupied
berth in the middle of the car. Ev-
cry section had been taken before he
left Boston and as the train had been
almost constantly in motion it seemed
certain that the person who had COM
mitted the theft was still on tie car.
1.-The porter said no one had been
aboard but the passengers, and that
none of them had left. It was propos
ed to search everybody. A man who
had berth directly opposite from the
one who had been robbed objected.
He told his name and said any one
might easily find that he was man
Of good reputation. In the meantime
some officers boarded the car and after
little swearing got the money from
the cclored porter, who was the guilty
one.
"Then the passenger who had re-
fused to be searched asked the officers
to examine his pockets. This seemed
strange, but he insisted. In an inside
pocket they found six one-hundred-
dollar bills. 1t was merely a coinci-
dence that he should have the same
amount of money as the other pas
senger had lost, and in exactly the
same denominations, but he knew that
under the circumstances he could
hardly establish his innocence. How
was that for a case of circumstantial
evidence? ?'-Nashville American.

Columbia Record: When Thomas
". LAWSON first began his expose OF
the corrupt practices of trusts and
corporations, how they swindled an
unwary and confding public, little
serious attention was paid to what ne
said. The magazine has Increased It's
circulation from about 1900 to over
GOO. 900. which shows that the people
are reading his articles, and as he
mentions names and circumstances
without regard to who may be hit
the people will believe what ne says
unless the charges can be disproved.
LAWSON says one of his objects is to
make the trusts disgerge their enor-
NOUS gains made by swindling the
Deorle, and if he succeeds in arouslns
the people, as he seems likely to, there
will be something radical to happen.
Lawson is giving that publicity to the
onerations of some of the trusts that
the department of commerce is sup
posed to do. He is exposing rotten
ness which is startling to the public,
and he is doing it better than any de-
Dartment can do, because he was in

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 12.-Trouble
for Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick increased
at rapid rate today. She was twice
indicted by the grand jury Of Cuya-
hoga county, and her old-time friend,
II. Reynolds, took the stand in
Court, and made evident his intention
to shield and protect her no longer.
The aged secretary of the Wade Park
Bank presented a pathetic picture as
he ansered question after question,
which brought out his own implicit
faith in the woman, whose financial
transactions have well-nigh ruined him
in fortune and caused him such in
finite trouble. He gave evidence that
he still believes his trust was justified.
Only one query he attempted to evade.
This was when he was asked now
imuch of his personal estate had passed
into the possession of Mrs. Chadwick.
his eyes filed and be requested that
he be excused from answering. The
question was not pushed.
Iri Reynolds testiSes that he had
perfect confidence in Mrs. Chadwick
and believed she was the Natural
daughter of Andrew Carnegie and
that Carnegie was backing her. and
that all her inde btedness would be
paid, "and,' he added, 81 have not
had anything yet to make me doubt
it,
The formal indictments voted
against Mrs. Chadwick this afternoon
ars based, one upon the Carnegie note
for $3.50, 900, which was made payable
at the Office of Andrew Carnegie,
in New York city, and the other upon
the Carnegie note for $500, 600, which
was payable at the National Bank of
Commerce, in New York, Under each
indictment are two counts, one charg-
ing forgery, the other uttering OF
forged paper.
information of the indictments was
at once wired to New York by County
Prosecutor Keeler, and the requested
that Mrs. Chadwick be immediately
rearrested if she obtained bail on
the other charges hanging over her.
The examination of Iri Reynolds,
treasurer and secretary of the Wade
Park Bank, before Referee Remington
in the Bankruptcy Court today, failed
to disclose any asset that might be
obtained by Receiver Loesser, ap-
pointed by the Federal Court.
