On Field of Waterloo
Where the Shattered Eagles Of the
French Sank to Earth for Rest
Especial Correspondeuce.)

While standing on the great knoll
which rises over 200 feet in the very
center OF the battlefield Of Waterloo.
| turned to the commander Of the
United States army and asked:
General. to what do you especial
ly attribute Napoleon's defeat?"
Before answering. Gen. Chafee. who
had accompanied Congressman Moon
and myself on an automobile trip over

there making minute study OF the
lay OF the ground. the grades, the for
ests and the Notifications TO Hougou-
mont. meditated for moment and
then replied rather slowly but as i'm
pressiyely as soldier would naturally
speak on such a battlefield:
One reason for his defeat was the
fact that he weakened himself fatally
when he divided his army. sending
Grouchy after the Prussians in one di-
rec,ion and Ney after the allied forces
in another. But ! believe a more i'm
portant reason was the fact that Ma
commander greater than either Well
inston or Napoleon had ordained his
defeat"
The generals attention was called
TO the fact that the opposing armies
were drawn up In semicircles oppo-
site each other and within a distance
of about half mile. The startling
proximity Of the contending forces
and the clear. open field between them
save for the few trees and the old
brick walls at Housoumont. made II

and determination of both armies were
recalled. why 10000 lives were sacri-

full day.
Would such carnage be possible in

forces of well-drilled men today" was
asked the general.

be almost impossible. for the reason
that with our modern artillery the
armies would have been drawn up at

A Matrimonial Syndicate.

About thirty-two years ago there was born In Ironton, Wis. a girl baby that was christened Bina Finnegan. Among the first sensations of little Bina's life was to see her father, who having stopped too long and not wisely on the way, took q sudden aversion to the furniture when at last he reached home. Perhaps 1t was seeing her father wreck the furniture that gave Bina the inspiration, for she has developed into something of wreck CT herself. But mind you. though Bina likes sometimes to daily by the wayside on her meanderings here and there, she does not wreck furniture. Bina has high CT aspirations. Her speciality is wrecking fortunes and the hearts of their owners.
 Bina just now is in the tolls of the law and she will have to explain several wrecking expeditions to the satisfaction of jury or her operations hereafter will be confined to prison keepers. Bina is the woman. who, under the name of Mrs. Hamilton" was arrested here a few days ago for swindling a canny Scotchman from Philadelphia, where, judging from his case, people do sometimes wake up. But it cost the canny Scotchman S2S00 about all he had, before the alarm clock went off He met Mrs. Hamilton through an advertisement in a Sunday paper. She ad- vertised herself as a rich widow in search of a husband to help spend her fortune. The canny Scot figured that as spender no one was more expert than he. All he needed was something to spend, so he
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-08-19

entered into negotiations with the widow with the unchaperoned millions. The ne- gotiations led him to a handsome house on the west side,. the supposed home Of the unprotected Mrs. Hamilton"
 To get the first installment of the canny ones S2S0O 1t was necessary to introduce in the conversation, of course, cruel, hard-hearted brother who was angling for his widowed sisters fortune in the courts. A little money was needed Temporarily to defray the expenses of the defense. The Scot gave up and the touches were freauent and easy after that When the Philadelphia mans funds were gone like a duly victim he went to the police. The police soon found that he was not the only shorn lamb. They unearthed half dozen others and discovered that the operations of the "rratrimonial syndicate" were so extensive that Mrs. Hamilton" had two women partners and two other houses be- sides the one where she lived. Undoubted- ly the 'syndicate" must have cleaned up many thousands of dollars. The succors were caught mostly through newspaper advertisements and in most cases Mrs. Hamilton played the part of the widow in search of a protector for her fortune. The woman's name is not Hamilton. She Is the wife of George T. Verrault, an artist, but has been separated from him several years. She has also been in trouble before, having been arrested in Philadel- phia for shoplifting.

Doctors Fees.
TIarper's Weekly

From Harper's Weekly.
 A doctors bill of $25.0O0 for seven days attendance on the late Marshall Field strikes some observers as more generous than 1t should be. and is the subject of some current comment in the newspapers. The whole subject of extra-big doctors bills is an active, and rather a sore, one with laity, who grope rather blindly after the general principle that regulates, or should regulate, the dealing of medical men with rich patients. Legitimate oppor- tunities of blackmail used to be humor- ously included among the attractions of the profession of journalism. Perhaps they belong to the profession of medicine also. No one can say that it was not worth $25,0O0 to the late Mir. Field to command for a week the services of the physician whom he wanted. From that point of view the doctors charge may seem not un- reasonable, but whether 1t was consis- tent with a doctors dignity to lift $25,- 900 out of a deceased patients estate for a weeks work remains still to be dis cussed. Perhaps the doctors idea was that the Field estate needed treatment. and that to relieve it lawfully of even s25O0O was a useful medical service. Theie is some merit in that idea. Let us hope the bill will be paid.
