Austin, manager of the Republican, of Leavenworth, Ind, was not unreasonable, when he refused to allow the doctors to operate on his wife, for female trouble. "Instead, <" he says, i've concluded to try Electric Bitters. My wife was then so sick she could hardly leave her bed, and five physicians had failed to relieve her. After taking Electric Bitters she was perfectly cured, and can now perform all her household duties." Guaranteed by R. H. Beers & Co.,, New town; Betts & Betts, Sandy Hook; P. J. Garvin, Bethel; w.

Gustave Blake, was friend of Peter Lorillard Ronalds, and died at MI ROnaldS' home.
FATHERS DEATHBED REQUEST.

Ronalds' home.
 FATHERS DEATHBED REQUEST.
 On his deathbed Miss Blake says her father placed her with MT ROnalds, asking him to care for her as the child of his best friend, and for ninteen years she was as daughter to the old man.
 She has no brothers and only one sister, Mrs Weyman, who lives with her. Since the death of MT Ronalds Miss Blake has continued to live at his former home, which is at No. 113 East Thirty-eighth street. She is said to be in an extremely nervous condition over the court action.
 The town residence is only a leased house, and is far different in furnish ings and display from Castle Ronalds, the magnificent Newtown estate which MT Ronalds has given to her.
 millionaire horseman called "home, U and there he spent vast fortunes beautifying the grounds and filling the house with rare collection of paint ingS, bric-a-brac and tapestries. At the time of his death MT Ronalds was profoundly interested in some improve ments at Ronald Castle. He expressed the wish, according to Miss Blake, that she see to it that the castle, as it is itly called, should always be kept up, and it is said that he has set aside a considerable annuity in his will to enable her to do this.
 ANXIOUS TO RECOVER COACH.
 It is in the stables of this estate that MT RonaldS' horses, coaches and various traps were kept. Here also is to-day the coach in which "the father ofcoaching" as MT Ronalds was known, drove in the days when he was the most noted whip in the country. The sons hope to have this old coach re. turned to them in the event they dC not recover all the property deeded to Miss Blake by their celebrated father.
 "If you only knew how 1 met MI Ronalds and how he has always taken the place to me of the father who died in his home, lam sure you would admit the cruelty of these accusations against me-" said Miss Blake.
 "Of course, people will say that I took advantage of the fact that MI Ronalds was separated from his wife to make him give the property to me but this is not true. When the time comes 1 will tell all I know about it. but it does seem to me that, knowing that my father was the lifelong frieno of MT ROnaldS-SO much friend thai he died in my benefactor's house should in itself clear me of these un just charges and insinuations.
 "About all this nonsense about my being a follower of the spiritualist cul 1 can only say that MT Ronalds was nt more the man to have been gulled by ; story that his dead relatives wished him to make transfer of his propert. to me than 1 am the woman to do sucf a thing. The transfer was made freel. by him, and l knew nothing about i until he told me to go downtown on day to sign the deeds. Why, at tn time l signed the papers 1 really hat no knowledge of their real significance but am sure that the gifts were sim ply given in recognition of the fila devotion 1 have given him all my life.

STATEMENT BY MRS RONALDS.

My son, Reginald Ronalds, has be- gun suit to recover these properties on behalf of myself as well as the chil- dren, and he will take care of our in- terests in the courts at New York. Of course, 1t is matter which concerns us all, but my children must take more active part in the contest than l, for they are really more conc erned than am."
 Mrs Ronalds has lived for many years at Cadogan place, her handsome London home.
 So strikingly like the sensa tional be- quests of the late Pierre LOrrillard to Mrs Lillian Barnes Allen are the gifts of ROnaldS to his pretty ward, that SO- ciety was thrown into great commo- tion when the scandal was precipitat- ed in the allegations of fraud and un- due influence on the part of Miss l Blake
 | While Miss Blake has lived 19 years in the home of the wealthy clubman, and while this fact was well known to caused no comment by society at large until the story of the princely gifts was told in the complaint of young Reginald Ronalds.
 Friends of both the Ronalds and Lorillard families recalled how the late Pierre LOrillard lived apart from his wife for years prior to his death how he laviShed his wealth upon the Allen woman, gave her hOuSebOat, jewels, race horses, and finally capped the climax of his munihcence by be- slowing upon her Rancocas, his Splen- did stock farm in New Jersey, upon which he had spent millions.
 SIMILARITY OF THE TWO MEN.
 The litigation which was threaten ed after the death of MT Lorillard was similar to that which has now beer actually begun by the son of Peter L. Ronalds. The two men lived lives that were along the same plane. BOtf were fond of fine horses; both fOrSOOl their wives; both became infatuated with young women sufficiently to give them a great part of their fortunes and both estates became entangled ir sensational litigation. But it was made clear by "American" reporters that the two women in the cases art not at all acquainted.
 Toa reporter Miss Blake said sh' does not know Mrs Alien, and a tele . gram from Mount Holly, N. J., say that Mrs Alien has never had tn slightest acquaintance with Mis-
 Blake.
 Little is known of M iSS Blake eXCep among those children of the late M
 ROnaldS who have lived with thei
 father and not with their mother dur
 ing the long years of domestic unhappi - ness which caused the family to divide
 the daughter, Mrs Ritchie, living wit l. her mother in London, and the tW
 sons, Reginald and Pierre, remainin
 in New York.
