finds the American abroad both civil
and genial: 81 climbed to the top of

refreshing drink. AT the top of the

our good morning salutation. In a
beer garden at Lucerne l followed the
custom of the continent and asked per-
mission before sitting at table of
those already seated there. The only
one who did not raise his hat and re-
ply was an Englshman, and the only
one to make excuses for him was a
young man who prefxed his words

Az Which Ages

An amusing discussion recently took
place between an artist and an author
as to which period of her life a
woman was the most fascinating. Ac-
cording to the artist a woman should
not be painted between the ages of
twenty-five and forty. as she was in
the greatest transition period of her
life. The author, ON the other hand,
declares that she is at the height of
her fascination and beauty between
the ages of thirty and forty, The ques-
ton is still unsettled. Zeitung.

cured on the coast of New Zealand
When swimming close to the surface
they exactly resemble an ordinary

below water. At night they come

reported to be very yenomous.

Delicate, weak, nervous women
should especially shun the use of
alcoholic medicines which, from
their stimulating and exhilarating
effects may seem, for time, to do
good, but which from the inevitable
effects of the alcohol in shrinking

are sure to do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants

THE ALTGELD PROPERTY.
Litigation Which Promises to Be q
Cause Celebre.

CHICAGO, November 23.-The Record.
Herald yesterday said:
Possession OF one Of the principal sky
scraper office buildings in Chicago the in
terests Of Mrs. Emma Altgeld, widow of
former Gov. John P. Altgeld, and indirectly
the memory of the former chief executive
OF Illinois, are involved in litigation now
pending in the circuit court, which prom
1Ses to become a cause celebre
Through the pleadings already of record
In the suit runs the story of the futile at
tempt Of one man who had won the highest
honor in the gift Of his state to combat the
combined influence of powerful interests in
his fight to recoup his vanished fortune:
or his steadfast adherence at the cost of
failure to regain his financial standing to
the principles which had brought him abso-
lutte bankruptcy and of his death at last,
with his estate wiped out, his home mort
gagged and his widow dependent on the
kindly offices of his friends to put her be-
yond absolute penury.
At the approaching session of the Illinois
legislature appeals will be made by friends
OF John P. Altgeld for an appropriation for
public monument to his memory Be-
sides the legacy of a life full of achieve
ment, the. only monument remaining now
10 the memory OF the governor is the long
pending suit which represents all that is
left of the extensive interests he controlled
in his lifetime.
The Unity building, 70 Dearborn street.
erected by ex-Gov. Altgeld in 1892 at a cost
Of about 100000, now valued at something
In excess of 100000 and yielding an an
nual rental of more than $4,000 is the
property at issue. Into it's erection and
maintenance as business enterprise the
former governor put all of his financial re-
sources, his energy and his ambition for
wealth. Before his death he saw 1t Slip
ping from his grasp, and, despite his des-
perate efforts to retain control at his death
his only interest, which passed to his widow
and now lends to the pending suit that
which redeems it from a mere dry proceed
Ing in foreclosure, was equity of redemp-
ton IN stock OF the company which he
formed to exploit the venture.
The sole legatee of the former governor
when he died, March IL, 1902, in Joliet. a
few hours after he had addressed a monster
audience there, was his widow and her
only tangible Inheritance was the eouity
in the stock which her husband had
hypothecated in his last desperate effort
to save his holdings.
