Is SOON DESERTED.
Lonely Wife Has Sounded Every Note
in the Gamut.

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 17.-Ten
days of welded life as the result of
an advertisement in New York
newspaper resulted in Mrs. Charles
Fleming, formerly of Butte, appear
ing in the probate court Of Shoshone
county, Idaho, east of Spokane, with
"a complaint in which it appears she
sounded every note in the matrimon-
ial gamut. Love, marriage, widow
hood, divorce, desertion and robbery
figure in her life story.
Mrs. Fleming recited her first mar
riage was when she had passed her
sixteenth birthday. 1t was followed
by divorce three years later, her
husband being accused of attacking
her with knife and with cruelty and
desertion.
In this case she had changed her
maiden name of Mary Stewart for
that of Mrs. Eugene Struthers. Then
she married Frank Preston, bust
ness man of Butte, and for several
years her happiness was all that
could be desired. Preston was, at
tackled by thugs on the way home,
was shot and died in the hospital a
few days afterward.
Mrs. Preston recently answered the
advertisements of two bachelors in
a New York newspaper, and CORE
spondence in which photographs were
exchanged, resulted in appointments
with William Battel of New York
and Charles Fleming of Kansas City.
Mrs. Preston married Fleming,
who had been engaged in the min
ing business, and on the day that the
ceremony took place Battel arrived
on the scene. The newly made bride
and Battel had lively interview, in
the course of. which the man said
that he had resigned his position in
New York and had been put to con-
siderable expense on the trip to
Butte.
Mrs. Fleming claims that his rep.
reservations of himself as being tall
and handsome were not strictly in
accordance with the truth. The pho,
tograph which he had sent her was
an excellent work of art, but, being
in profile, 1t had failed to show that
one of his eyes took a northwesterly
direction, while the other searched
| the southeasterly horizon.
The photograph only showed his
head, and while the tallness was all
that he had represented he had fail
Ted to state that he was round-shoula-
cred almost TO deformity. The rest,l,
of it all is that Battel is said to be
about to file an action for damages

of his two women companions. The
head waiter told them not to be
alarmed.
He is only practicing an after

of young chaps who are not used to
after-dinner speaking, and who ex-

some banquet soon, learn to stand On

this kind. have seen men perform
their little stunt before half dozen
different sets of friendly critics be-
fore venturing to face a roomful of
banqueters. They seem to prefer to
do their practicing in a restaurant
rather than in their own homes.
Maybe that gets them used to a
crowd and helps create confidence. .

ROBBED IN CHICAGO.
California Beauty Is Victim Of Well
Dressed Man.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Mrs. Viva
Kemker, former artists model and
belle of the golden west" reported
to the police to day that while she
was writing telegram in the office
of the Postal Telegraph company she
was robbed of a gold watch valued at
$500. She was waiting in the office,
the clerks being busy at the time,
when she was accosted by stranger.
She ignored his advances and was
about to turn and leave the building
when the man grasped her diamond
studded watch and ran.
Mrs. Kemper, who is known as the
handsomest woman in California,
screamed and started in pursuit, but
her assailant was soon lost. Aside
from the actual value of the watch
the owner feels the loss greatly, as
it was a gift from artists for whom
she posed before her marriage to Il
scion of one of the leading families
of Los Angeles. Her friends assert

WOMEN WORK ABOUT MINES.

South African women are en-
ployed in large numbers about the
famous mines. They are useful in
carrying in loads, especially of fire.

and along as they are left alone to
take as much time as they like, they
are all right. On the west coast also

men had been tried against native
men, and were found to be by far the
best and cheapest. There they were
on piecework. Their task was to
carry in about a cord of wood day.
They would start about 1880 p: M,
and carried for three. four or five
hours. Then, if they wanted to get
of, they would carry another cord of
wood in the afternoon, or part of
it.-Chicago Tribune.

HIPS MUST GO.
Dressmakers Rule Men Shall BE Pro-

Dressmakers Rule Men Shall BE Pro-
tected.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-"Hips
must go" is the edict of the Dress
makers Protective association, COM
posed of judges of feminine fashions
from many cities of the United
States. which is holding its sixty-first
annual session at Masonic Temple
here, to pass on and adopt styles.
The decree of this association is that
curves must be done away with as
much as possible, and straight lines
be encouraged.
Miss Elizabeth A. C. White, presi-
dent of the association, who goes
abroad annually to study fashions
and who generally is very frank in
her comments, said today the reason
for abolishing curves was to stop the
temptation presented to men by the
sensuous figures which women make
of themselves.
do you really think curves have
a demoralizing effect on men?" she
was asked.
do 1? OF course | do, Miss
White replied. Il am woman of ex-
perience. l have been all over the
world, and ! know. Young men are
led to fall from grace by the figures
of women have been affecting for the
last few years. 1t is only human ma
ture, and the women are to blame. I"
do you think the new style of
straight gowns will be as beautiful
as those with graceful curves?"
Il ''Oh, yes. They may seem funny
at first, but they will be modest and
decent, and a thing can't be beauti-
full, in my opinion, if it is indecent.
The great trouble will be to get all
women to adopt the new style. But
when they see the moral reason for
it, they will look at it as / do.
Pads will be thing of the past.
The busts will be as straight and
compressed at the hips. We are go
ing back to the years of the past
when people had some modesty and
respect for themselves. The new
dresses will much resemble the coll
onial costumes"

AMERICAN STARTS FAD.
Gay Girl Has Everyone at Maicnbad
Wearing Sprig.


LONDON, Sept. 21.-Every other
person at Marienbad is. just now
wearing a tiny Alpine blossom in his
or her coat. Few people seem to
know how edelweiss acquired this
vogue. 1t seems the first morning
the king arrived at Marienbad, Il
beautiful American girl came for
ward and, as he was having his glass
Of water, presented him with a small
bunch Of edelweiss, which she ex-
planned would bring him good
luck" King Edward has courtly
manners for all women. Moreover.
he is peculiarly susceptible to
beauty. He raised his hat, bowed
low and accepted the flowers, re-
questing the donor to pin a blossom
into his coat.
Ever since his majesty may be
seen with bloom from the Alps in
his buttonhole. 1t goes without say
ing tnat all Marienbad is following
suit.
His majesty has been anxious to
discover the identity of the American
well-wisher, but SO far without sue
cess. Some think it is Gladys Van
defbilt, who is now bright particu-
lar star at Carlsbad and a constant
visitor at Marienbad. Why the girl
should continue to remain incognito
1t Is difficult to say, unless 1t to add
greater mystery to q picturesque
event before eventually disclosing
her identity.
1t is quite clear the American girl
who presented the flowers knew
something OF King Edwards weak
ness in regard to courtesies of the
kind, or she would scarcely have
risked making the presentation. The
king gIories in romantic attentions
of this kind, particularly when u
touch of mystery is added to them.

FOOJNCAt ~ AuIICHCOus
NEWPORT, Sept. 21.-Mrs. Iselin,
who is putting up at small Dresser
street boarding house, takes lunch
con and frequently dinner at the
Cliffs Hotel. Upon all occasions she
makes herself comfortable. Should
a dainty shoe pinch dainty foot, it
is promptly removed. She is one of
the best types of young matrons at
Newport. She is always tastefully
yet simply gowned, never permits a
hairdresser to touch her hair, never
makes vulgar display of jewels,
never fails to notice the people she
has met, or speak to them, never
permits herself to be carried away
to Bailey's by the other woman's
husband, never fuses over foreign
ers as though they were better than
Americans. never fails to devote as
much time to her two-year-old baby
and her husband as to her social en-
gagements. never says an unkind
word of anyone, and, above all, never
tries to impress one with the fact
that she is Mira Iselin. Since she is
daughter of the Willie Jays, these
charming traits are all the more sur
prising Mrs. Jay is all right, but
she isn't exactly like her daughter.

WEALTHY WOMAN AN ARTIST
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Has Tall
ent Of High Order.

Mrs. marry fayne Whitncy Has Tall
cnt Of High Order.
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Is a
real artist. There is not any doubt
of that. The fact that she is Ger
trude Vanderbilt Whitney rests light
ly upon her mind. She does not con-
sumo her time talking about it. Mrs.
Whitney has artistic talent OF high
order. She can really do things; not
merely dabble in them, as have some
of her own set. When August Bel
mont decided to erect the highest
hotel in New York, Gertrude Wander
bilt struck him for a job"
She aspired to do something that
was worth while. She wanted to see
her creation actually doing duty in
everyday life. So up in her little
studio at Newport, small fisherman
like hut on the rocks Of Ochre Point,
and down at Westbury, L. l., she de-
signed some very beautiful and prac-
tical things. One of them was for
the steel portico to shelter the en-
trance of the Belmont hotel. She
submitted the design and 1T was ac-
cepted. And most impressive and
massive piece of structural work it is.
The heroic figures Of the caryatides
that support the Orders around the
great lobby of the same hotel are
also the conception and work of this
young society matron. They are the
wonder and admiration of everyone
who sees them. The four seasons are
each typified by head and torso.
Fruit, flowers, corn husks, ears of
grain, tassels and leaves ornament
the figures, though almost gross, be-
witching in their imagery. The faces
are eager and full of spirit and iIeag-
nation.
The male and female Spring typify
youth and gaiety. Garlands of buds
and flowers decorate their locks and
torsos. Summer is laden with a chap
let OF fruits, apples, pears, grapes
and peaches. Autumn is replendent
with ripened grain and corn husks.
Winter is represented by age. and his
beard is festooned with holly. Sal
iere. Partisan sculptor, was import
ed to execute the designs.
And now it is announced that she
will establish herself in business just
as any other ambitious young sculp-
tress, who did not inherit 100000
600 from her father and marry a
multi-millionaire, would have to do.
She has taken an old brick stable in
McDougal Alley, back Of the north
row of o1d-time mansions in Wash
ington square, and will carry out her
long cherished plans of having a
studio in the atmosphere of real ar
fists and sculptors, for McDougal
Alley is suis generis in New York,
and is as naughty and aristocratic as
Millionaire's Row, on Fifth avenue
One must have done something to
get spoken to down there. No "Bo-
hemians" need apply. During the
past year Mrs. Whitney has spent
much time at the historic estate, Hol-
wick hall. long known as the Whit
ney hunting box" in England. A
half million dollars has been spent
upon the place by Harry Payne Whit
ney and his artistic wife, who has
had the opportunity to beautify the
castle, and restore many of the an
cient designs. At Aiken, s. c.. at De-
tober Mountain, at Newport and in
New York, the Whitneys have splen-
did establishments.

ALL It NEEDS
IS WATER SUPPLY
Lanai Would Be Ideal if 1t
Could Escape the Long
Dr0uths.

Lanai has thousands of acres of as
geed land as ever lay out of doors,
level plains that need no clearing,
| bench lands that are delight to sec
| and valley bottoms that should be most
| productive All that is needed is water
to make them profitable. But all the
water there is on the island is that
which falls from the heavens and that
flowing from the headwaters of the
Maunalei stream, which two windmills
lift over the high canyon side through
two-inch pipe. Given water for irri-
cation and no island of the group would
produce more wealth per acre, but as
it is there is not enough moisture on
the whole of it's ninety thousand acres
to keep the livestock on it from parch-
ing.
The Public Lands committee of the
House, which spent two days going
over the island, on Saturday and Sun
day, probably drank less and washed
more sparingly than they have for
many months. In their trips across
the arid acres they depended IN jugs
of tepid water brought from the store
treasured in the cisterns of Charles Gay
and left at points where they could
be found. OF springs and waterholes
there are none and the stream bed in
the Maunalei guIch, observed from the
pail at the bottom of which it ran,
looked as dry as the uplands.
With care the island of Lanai may
become productive, but before that time
comes the thousands of goats there
must be exterminated the hills refor-
ested and the windswept wastes tackled
down in place by some kind of vegeta-
tion. These things are planned for by |
Mr.. Gay and the carrying of them out
will take time and plenty of money.

Robert Gibbs, passenger on the S.

The police department on April 4
received a cable from Commissioners
Dinnie of Wellington, N T., stating
that a warrant had been issued in

Gibbs from obtaining s12 by false pre-
lenses from Alex. Johnson and that

Gibbs booked as a second-class pas
senger under the name of r. Gibbons.
He travelled first saloon, however
Although the cable came addressed
to the chief of police here, the matter
is a Federal one and the Federal au-
thorities were communicated with. At
ter investigation District Attorney
Breckons satisfied himself that accord
ing to an amendment of the treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, obtaining money by false pre-
lenses was an extraditable offense
Breckons accordingly drew up COM
plaint which Acting British Consul
Forster signed before u. S. Commits
sioner Davis, who caused a warrant to
be issued.
Yesterday morning Marshal Hendry,
Detective Taylor and two officers went
outside in a launch and boarded the
steamer. Gibbs was spotted at once
and placed under arrest. At first he
denied that his name was Gibbs but
confessed his identity before being
lodged in Oahu jail.
The usual extradition proceedings
will follow. The New Zealand gov
will have to send an officer |
armed with the necessary papers be-
ore Gibbs can be sent back to the |
