she led them a merry chase OF three

dred and Forty-ninth street and tho
North River, when the detectives ap-
peared with a warrant for her arrest
The warrant was sworn out two weeks
ago by Harry Daniels of $40 St. Mich
olas avenue, and as several attempts had
been made to catch Mrs. Allen. she rec
ognized the detectives. Laughing mer-
rily, Mrs Allen and her friends steamed
away, followed by the officers in an
other boat. The police boat was almost
up with the other launch when the mo-
tor broke 1t was impossible TO con
tinue the pursuit, and in disgust the
police rowed ashore. The woman was
later arrested at her apartments.
By means Of telephone connection
from her bed in her house at OF Pulaski
street, Brooklyn. to the pulpit of her
church. Mrs. James Van Uvk. who tor
three years has been bedridden. was en-
abled to enjoy the communion OF song
and the sermon delivered by Rev DR.
l.. L. Taylor at the Puritan Congrega-

Mrs. Russell Sage has donated $4,000
for the building of fine schOolhouse
at Sag Harbor. on the eastern end of
Long Island. Her grandfather, Col
| John Jermain. lived in the village Mrs.
Sage herself spent considerable part
of her girlhcod there, and for many
years she has occupied the ancentral eS-
tate as a summer home
Storming with anger, and at the same
time weeping copiously, a tall and at
tractive-looking young woman. who gave
her name as Mrs. Adelina ShelOr. went
to police headquarters and demanded
that detectives be sent in pursuit OF her
husband 10 arrest him on Il charge of
bigamy. Then she told a story of the
discovery OF his alleged duplicity, a fiery
interview with another wife, who had
threatened TO throw vitrio, and finally
the supposed flight of the man to Mon
treal. She said he was living with his
other wife at the Grausis. but detectives
could not find him, and he is supposed
to have gone to Canada.
For the third time since the death of
| Charles Broadway Rouss, the eccentric
merchant, in March, 1902. a woman has
appeared as a claimant 10 his estate of
$S,ooo.ooO. Mrs Elizabeth Slattery Cow
an has begun suit against the estate to
recover claim OF $3o.25o, which she says
IS due her as a balance on a contract
made with the blind merchant in 1892.
The most startling feature of Mrs. Cow
ans suit is that she accuses Rouss OF
having tricked her into sham mar
riage, which he finally found convenient
TO renOunce.
