Bidder money power in 1882; won

of freedom by night; by day he pom

He makes his daily jaunts farther and

u1ty' that 1t would like me to go into
a Napoleonic trance 1t gave me to
understand that would represent the
death of Napoleon Bonaparte by so
doing, and that my features, when my
eyes were closed, and face, would re-
semble strongly those of the dead Ma
poleon Bonaparte. This was in Feb
ruary. 1897, upon or shortly after my
arrival at the Hotel K, New York
city.
MY fX-faculty' did not tell me what
to do in order to produce the so-called
Napoleonic trance; it merely informed
me that when the time came it would
instruct me what to do to produce
the said trance. The distinguished
sculptor, Mr.. S. G., called at the Hotel
K, shortly after my arrival, while
was in bed and in the evening my x
faculty gave me to understand, with
out Mr.. S. G. knowing it, that it would
be the proper time for me to enter the
Napoleonic. trance; I was interested
myself from a scientific point Of view
to know just what 1 woul1 do in a
trance.

his wife.
'"Oh, the sermon was all right, l

well, what's the natter" she per-
sisted.
"Nothings the matter" he retorted
sharply. Cant man look solemn
when he gets back from a solemn re-
ligious service without causing a riot
in his own homer"
His wife said nothing for a time,
and then, with happy inspiration
asked casually:
How much did you put in the con
tribution box today"
There was pronounced pause, anG
then the reply came with serious de
liberation.
"Seventy-f1ve cents"
Wasn't that rather liberal?" she in
quired, knowing he usually played a
quarter limit.
Rather" he answered. Rather
liberal, it struck me. Rather too lib.
eral"
Then he chuckled and went on with.

You see, it was this way: I was

half didn't slip out of my fingers ant
roll out into the aisle, close to the
second pew in front 1 didn't wan
to scramble for it then, and figured
l could get it at the close of the serv

noticed that he was half lap aheat

he was waiting, his eyes lit on tn
half-dollar lying in the aisle in from
of him.
And what did that old sinner d.

a minute and then drop it into tn
box. And l didn't have the nerve t
breathe word. Just sat like dun

that make you mad?"
Then he added, chuckling again
What I'm wondering now is whethe
l get credit from ST. Peter for givin
the whole rs cents or just for tn

You won't get credit for any of it,
observed his wife. "St. Peterll chez

'Thatd be- a mean trick" he RI

Married to Amelie Rives.

John Armstrong Chanler first came
into the public eye when he married
Amelie Rives, who wrote that bril-
liant erotic The Quick or the Dead"
in which is told the old love of a
beautiful widow for her dead husband
and her newer love for another man in
the flesh. Jock Dering, the hero, was
hanler
Miss Rives was denounced by some
persons as rather imprudent writer,
but that didn't keep her book, which
appeared in 1886, from having ire
mendous sale. Her marriage to young
Mr.. Chanler only added to its popular
ity. She was beautiful, cratic, i'm
petuous. Soon their friends came to
realize that there was nothing in
common between the grave, polished,
rather mystic New Yorker and the will
full, gifted Virginia girl.
There was a divorce, which the hus-
band did not contest, upon the grounds
of incompatability and the Mrs. Chan
Ter that was married Prince Troubet-
skoi, whom she had met abroad.

admire dogs" is the way Mr.. Chanler

PLAINTIFFS SANITY is In QUESTION
Extraordinary Life Story the Former Husband of the Princess
TOubeskoi Who Is Legally Sane in Virginia, Legally Insane
in New York, and Who Writes Startling Narrative Of
His Struggles for Liberty and Inheritance.

:. New York-Can man be sane in
one state and insane in another?
SO it would seem. But John Arm
strong Chanler, cousin of the Astors,
chum of the late Stanford White, col
lege graduate, student of psychics and
ex-husband of that brilliant, erratic
woman, Amelie Rives, now the Prin-
cess Troubetskoi, is not going to take
such a decision as final.
Next month his case comes up in the
federal courts here in New York. Mr..
Chanler, who has fortune of 81 900, 900,
wants to get control of it. But the
courts of New York say he is insane
and not competent His legal resi-
dence Is in the state of Virginia.
And there the courts have decided
that ne is perfectly sane and able to
manage his estate.
There are forty-five states in the
Union. Mr.. Chanler can visit forty
four of them without the slightest
danger to his personal liberty. But
should he set foot in the sovereign
state of New York he will promptly
be clapped into lunatic asylum, be-
cause he is still held to be mentally
Incompetent.
1t will be a desperate legal battle.
Mr.. Chanler has retained the best of
counsel. So has the custodian Of his
$1,000,000, T. T. Sherman, who says
he is insane. 1t is very much like
Charles Reade's very Hard Cash" all
over again.
1t will be more than legal fight.
1t will be a trial in which a man
who has delved deep into psychic
phenomena will try to prove that he
is not insane just because he knows
something more than the mere every
day things of life. Because man is
possessed of X-faculty, Mr.. Chanler
contends, does not prove him mentally
Incompetent. Because he has solved
the mystery of graphic automatism
does not prove him a lunatic.
