Cleveland, Dec. 26.--The disposition
Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick made OF the
vast sums Of money she borrowed In
the last dozen or more years has caused
much comment throughout the coun-
try, and although she Is known to have
been lavish In her expenditures It Ia
now and always as been the belief
among her friends here that she has
one or two million dollars hidden some
where.
All of her victims are by no means
known.
A former county Official who has
known the woman for years said today:
| II candldly believe that the woman has,
through her friend, al ocal banker. who
is In on the deal. million and perhaps
two or more planted outside OF Cleve-
land"
A woman, who for many years was d
leader in the most select and exclusive
society OF the city. today told how Mrs.
Chadwick tried to gain admittance TO
the 400" circle.
''Dr. Chadwick's first wife was aris-
tocratlc and refined" she said. "one OF
the very sweetest women in the world
but his second wife, Cassie L. Chad
wick. was impossible. She was not
only unrennej In department, but her
taste In dress and all that was execra-
BILE, hIdeous, In fact, ana her one aim
was to break Into society. She swore
she would succeed In this aim II II
cost her every dollar she possessed. but
! need not say she failed.
she sought TO dazzle people with a
display OF costly dresses and magnifi-
cent jewels and even carried this as
founding but laughable display into
the sacred precincts of our fashionable
Methodist church out here, which the
doctor and his family ad long attend
ed. At the morning service she would
sweep into church blazing with jewels
and clad In an imported gown OF great
value, with millinery to match. and at
the evening service she would sail down
the aisle In another magnificent French
creation and with new jewels
sunday after Sunday this happened
with ever changing modes, and on one
occasion, Il Ia said, disturbed the So
lemnity OF the house of worship by
causing litter to run through II when
she entered the church scintillating
with precious stones and respondent In

Worth OF Paris"
II was learned today that during the
last illness OF DR.. Chadwlck's aged and
wealthy mother and his sister the doc
tor acted Us their physician and Mrs.
Chadwick as their nurse. Botn pa
tients died and their deaths caused
much talk at the time.

TAKE NOTICE.
Diniomatic.

His name Is not Pat, but he Is given
that nickname by all the passengers
on the owl car, OF which he is con-
ductor. The name is not misapplied,
for Pat Ia Irish from the soles Of his
feet to the top OF his iron gray head.
AS a usual thRg Pats passengers wear
a smile, for he is continually making
remarks that fairly reek with humor.
They are always witty, and Pats rich
brogue only makes them the funnier.
Pat has one bugbear-Devisadero
street. He cannot for the life Of him
pronounce the strange name as his
passengers do. He knows 1t and will
not try, his one attempt having taught
him lesson.
Recently one of the regular passen-
gers got on the car at Powell street.
he settled himself In corner Of the
ear and closed his eyes. He aroused
lust as the car was turning from 0'Far-
FELL street into Devisadero and peered
out into the darkness. The car was
going at such rapid rate that he
could not locate himself, so he turned
to Pat and said, what street is thisT'
Pat looked at him and smiled. So
did all the passengers. Then Pat
reached up and gave the bell cord a
vigorous pull. AS the car stopped his
grin became almost laugh, and, lean
ing over toward the passenger, he said:
"Its the strate where you get off,

"When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with

thing we could, but he got worse all the
time till it spread to his arms, legs, and
then to his entire body, and he got go

would itch so that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and thin yellowish stuff
would be all over his pillow in the morn

to keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got SO weak and run
down that he took fainting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al
most a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried CGticura Remedies. 1
had not laid him down in his cradle in
the daytime for long time. He had
got so that he just slept in our arms all
the time. l washed him with Cuticura
Soap and put on one application of
Cuticura Ointment and he was so
soothed that I put him i'll the cradle.
You don't know how glad felt when he
felt better. Ittook one box Of Cuticura

PILES At THE MOUTH

Arrangements to Drive Them to Avoid
Recurrence Of Tragedy Of Potomac
Regatta.

After a delay OF two months and
half the District authorities are about
TO drive piles In front of the mouth of
the sewer at the foot OF T'hirty-third
Street northwest, so as to prevent
recurrence OF the disaster last sum
mer when, during the Potomac regatta,
a uaDhtha launch was overturned by
the swift current from the sewer
drowning ten people
soon after the catastrophe, Harbor-
master Sutton recommended that a line
of piles he driven near the mouth OF the
sewer. at an estimated cost OF $125 II
was found. however, that the mouth Of
the sewer. occupied certain wharf prop
erty, and it was considered doubtful
whether the owner OF the wharf would
allow the driving Of the piles and the
charging OF the sewer mouth, which
was also proposed.
A few days ago the District Commits
sioners instructed Commodore Sutton 70
