James V. Mcclellan, the obscure
Philadelphia grocer, into the West
Seventy-third street mansion, all the
fuss about the love syndicate might
have been avoided. 1t was Keene
who used to determine which OF the
eager applicants for love honor should
come in. When he passed favorably
upon Mcclellan he let in the man
who, when ruthlessly rejected by the
charming Mrs. Verrault, promptly
went to the United States district
attorney.
The extent to which the love syn

combine ensnared its victims more

census OF the dupes shows that
they range from prosperous store
owners to millionaire Wall street
hnanciers. Probably one hundred of
them walked into the spider web.
Four women figured in the active
work of the love trust. Mrs. Brown,
shrewd and fascinating, was the
schemer who kept the syndicate afloat
Mrs. Nerrault was the official letter
writer. II was she who sent the cap
,ivating love missiyes that won the
hearts of the susceptible dupes, She
attended to the correspondence of
both herself and Mrs, Brown.
Daughter and Niece
as Side Attractions.
The golden.haired daughter Of Mrs.
Brown was a conspicuous member OF
the combination, She did not make
love to any of the men nor receive
their attentions, but 1t was handy to
have her around as milady's maid.
The same interesting role was as
sumed by Mrs. Browns beautiful
niece, Miss Mary Mason. 70 the
credit of Mrs. Brown, it may be said
that she watched these two damsels
with the eye Of Il hawk and never
permitted the slightest indiscretion so
far as they We're concerned The two
girls when not engaged In the palace

Dashins Leading Spirit
Of the Love Trust.
Mrs. Brown, the guiding spirit OF
the love enterprise, is forty-tWo years
old and has had a Kaleidoscope ca
reer. Her deep hazel eyes have a
bewitching and dangerous softness.
| She has a subtle grace and dignity.
| Her hair is of the blazing peroxide
variety. Tall and with a strikingly
symmetrical figure, she is woman
who would Immediately attract atten-
ton. There is q shrewd cast in her
countenance, but it is tempered by
the melting languor OF her eyes.
1t is easy to see from an observa-
ton of Mrs. Brown how she was able
to hold men in her clutches. She is
woman of keen wit, a brisk con
versatlonalist and one quick to take
advantage of every slight opportunity.
With her suitors she has been by
turns affectionate, adoring, gracious
and stern. She has heart Of steel,
but her admirers never suspected it
until they were violently Tilted.
Mrs. Verrault Is woman Of a
softer type. Her deep dark eyes, rosy
complexion and beautifully moulded
face give her an atmosphere OF daz-
cling charm. She Is scarcely past
thirty. yet she has broken hearts ga
lore. Her chestnut brown tresses con-
tribute to her bewitching beauty. In
manner she Is the opposite of Mrs.
Brown She is at once impulsive,
summing and lovable. 1t is said that
Mrs. Verraut actually fell in love
with a few of her admirers. but she
held herself in check because to love
was not one of the principles OF the
extraordinary matrimonial syndicate.
All her witcheries and graceful tricks
of manner and speech were put forth

He was quick to see the opportunity

stage career, he entered into the af.

The Plantation Man
ayers Complain
to Agents.

Through the medium of plantation
|prised of the fact that the present
liquor law is playing havoc with the
employees of sugar estates in at least a
few sections. The vile liquor sold by
saloons to plantation employees and the
cheapness of the price for the stuff
make it possible for employees to get on
sprees which. starting in on Saturday
nights, are not concluded when Monday
mcrning comes around. The plantation
managers are complaining of the law to
their agents, and the agents have in
turn notified the Governor OF the de-
piorable state of affairs.
William c. Irwin & Co., agents for
the Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Com
|pany, have written Governor Carter on
the subject, enclosing a copy of a let
,er received from their manager in
Kau, as follows:

Hon. Geo. r. Carter, Governor, Terri
Sir: License Law.-Enclosed here
With we beg to hand you conmuni-
cation received from the Manager of
one OF our sugar plantations upon Ha-
waii, in connection with the evil result
ing from the workings of the present
liquor law in the outside districts. We
have had occasion to address you be-
fore upon the same subject, and while
+; n.
remedy the evil until the next session
of the Legislature, we wish to point out
TO you the fact that we are receiving
numerous communications, such as the
enclosed copy, from our different plan
tations, protesting against the evils re-
sulting from the existing liquor law.
AS a matter of fact, from all we can
learn upon the subject, we are con-
WINGED that this law is a menace to
the peace and welfare of the communi-
ty, and is denoralizing a large proper
ton OF the laboring classes of the Is
lands, and that unless some radical
measures are adopted to modify it's
present form, the results i'll the out
side districts will prove very serious
and lead. we fear. to an increase Of
disorder and crime

again repeat that the existence of three

vile stuff is handed out, which has a

consequence large number of our men

cause he felt that any step toward re-
lieving the demand for greater elias
ITCHY at certain seasons of the year
was desirable, but he argued that the
committee strive to frame a more eff
fective measure.
William B. Ridgley, comptroller of
the currency, advocated before the
house committee on banking and cur
rency the proposed credit currency
plan. There was, he said, no ques-
tion regarding the necessity of some
measure of relief. He believed
graduated tax should be placed on
the credit notes which would create
an ample reserve for their redemption
This he thought, was a much super
ior method to the high tax plan with
no reserves.
Mr.. Ridgley was strongly in favor of
having the government guarantee such
credit currency. No risk would be in
volved in this, as he said the per
cent guarantee fund would make the
government safe.
Mr.. Ridgley favored increasing the
present $3,00O,00O monthly limit on
the retirement of national bank cir
culation to $12,O0OOO0 or $15,00O,OoO
and giving the secretary of the treas
ury discretionary power to modify or
suspend the limit to meet any arising
condition. This limit was fixed, he
said, when the circulation of the coun.
try was something like s1S0,OOO,OOO.
1t is now more than $5OO,OO0.oOO.
William H. Berry, state treasurer
of Pennsylvania, followed Mr.. Ridgley
He is decidedly opposed to the credit
currency, although he believes the
bankers will succeed in their deter
mined efforts to secure its trial. This
trial, in his opinion, will be abortive.

Salina, Kan-Mrs. Martha Hurt,
claiming to be 105 years of age, ap-
piled through her attorney here for
divorce from John Hurt, her third
husband. Mrs. Hurt claims that her
husband left her in 1898, after she
had kicked him out" of the house.
She asks for an absolute divorce and
that the name of her second husband
be restored, and that she be given
titled to all her property. Mrs. Hurt
was so feeble that she could not climb
the stairs leading to the office of the
district court, and the clerk came
downstairs to swear her.
