Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbil was known
as Mrs. May S. Pepper when Wander
bilt met her. She called herself the
Bishop of the Brooklyn Spiritalist
Church, the institution through which
she has exploited her alleged spiritual
istic powers and which also for some
years has made much money. She con-
tracted a marriage. at the beginning
with Edward Ward Vanderbilt, an
aged lumber merchant, who became in
terested in her seances soon after the
death of his first wife. One of his
daughters brought suit to have him de-
clared incompetent.
One of the daughters allegations
reads: "Deponent alleges that it is a
matter of common knowledge that said
May S, Pepper is a woman of unscru-
pulous habits and is a fraud upon the
community, and is nothing more nor
less than an adventures seeking noto-
riety and profit"
The charge was made that she influ-
enced Vanderbilt to marry her by let
ters purporting to come from the spirit
of his first wife
During the hearing a young woman
who had been an intimate friend of
Mrs. Pepper testified to the medium s
close relations with other men. In re-
ferring to Vanderbilt witness said that
Mrs. Pepper characterized him as an
old fool.
On the question of love the witness
testified that Mrs Pepper said to her
that there was no such thing as eter-
nal love; that the sentiment was mere
ly magnetic and subject to change.
The witness was asked If Mrs. Pep
per drank liquor to any extent.
"she drank the same as I did" was
the reply.
What was that?"
well, champagne, cocktails, whisky
and red ink explaining that red
ink was the red wine that is served
with some dinners in New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Edward w.
Vanderbilt, the aged retired merchant
of Brooklyn, who married May S. Pep
per, the spiritualist medium, is incapa-
BILE of managing his affairs because of
lunacy, according to a verdict returned
by Sheriff's jury in Brooklyn today.
When the verdict was announced
Miss Vanderbilt jumped up, clapped
her hands and cried "Hurrah!" She
says she will seek to have her fathers
deeds to Mrs. Vanderbilt annulled,
The proceedings to have Vanderbilt
declared incompetent were brought by
his daughter, Miss Minerva Vanderbilt,
after Vanderbilt had married Mrs. Pep
per several months ago, and had given
to her a large portion of the real es-
tate which he owned in Brooklyn, in
Guiding the house in which they lived.
A brother and sister OF Vanderbilt sub
sequently Joined her in the appeal to
the courts. The hearing was held be-
fore jury and commission, consist
ing or physician, a lawyer and a
banker. Much testimony was offered
to show that Vanderbilt has been i'm
posed upon by so-called communica-
tons with his dead wife through a
spirit whom he called Bright Eyes"
the communications being engineered
by Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbilt.
Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbilt was put on
the witness stand and questioned at
great length as to her ability to COM
municate with the spirits. She was
also called upon by opposing counsel
to read the contents of letters in sealed
envelopes. This she could not do in
the courtroom, explaining that the gift
only came to her at certain times and
when the spirit moved her.
The jury retired at p. m. yesterday
and was in session all night. The
final vote was twelve for incompetency
against three for competency. This is
sufficient to constitute a verdict.

ALDERSHOT (Engiand), September
13.-Samuel E. Cody the long-haired
Texan who is part builder of the first
British airship which has been sue
cessfully navigated, intends urging the
American Government to construct an
airship for military purposes. Cody
who had just sailed a mile and a half
against a nine-mile-an-hour wind high
above Aldershot plains, said today:
while the French, German and
English armies are progressing i'm mill
tary airship building, America is lax
Airships are now placed on the Fran
co-German frontier. One spectacle Of
the next war will be battles i'm the air.
The advantages Of the airships are
that from it an enemy can be observed.
explosives can be dropped and besieg-
ed towns relieved Airships are not
dangerous, because gas is kept in sep
arate compartments, and one or two
bullets would not be effective against
them. When l have completed my
British contract ! shall return to Am
erica and urge upon the Government
the advantage of having an airship to
watch, for instance, the hostile natives
in the Philippines"

The Wealth of the Nation.

The wealth Of the United States as
fixed by the last census is LOT billion
dollars, a sum so vast as to be impos-
sible of comprehension. 1t is more than
the combined wealth Of France, Ger
many and Russia, and twice that of
Great Britain and Ireland. 1t is also
impossible to comprehend the curative
powers of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
until you have given it a fair trial.
Then you'll realize what a wonderful
remedy It is for curing and preventing
dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
~biliousness, insomnia, poor appetite,
female ills or malarial fever. 1t is also
excellent for restoring strength after
the system has been weakened by a
long sick spell. We guarantee it abb
solutely pure, so no one need hesitate
in trying a bottle today. Your druggist,
grocer or dealer will supply you with
the genuine.
