CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-"At $500 a head,
the average price of negro girls on the
auction block fifty years ago. the 300,-

SISTER OF FAMOUS
FORGERS DIES POOR
HARRIET C. MOTT PASSES
AWAY IN ADVANCED YEARS
Fortune Was Expended in Securing
the Freedom of the BidwelI
Brothers, Million DOL
lar SWindIers

MUSKEGON, Mich, Dec. IA life
of sisterly devotion that has few
equals in history was brought to a
close by the death yesterday at the
age of rs years, of Mrs. Harriet G.
Mott, sister of the notorious Bidwell
brothers, who made themselves the
most famous forgers of the nineteenth
century by their $1,000,00O swindle of
the bank of England.
Mrs. Mott, who outlived her broth
ers, died practically penniless, although
she once owned one of the finest farms
in Muskegon county and valuable prop
erty in New York state. All her prop
erty went toward promoting the cause
of her brothers freedom.
When Austin and George c. Bidwen
committed their famous swindle in
1875. Mrs. Mott vigorously entered into
the fight to win the liberty of her kin
and carried her cause into the White
House and before the nobility of Eng
land.
She went everywhere raising funds
and made nine trips across the At
lantic. She refused to look upon her
brothers as great criminals and con-
sidered that their sentences to life i'm
prisonment were miscarriages of JUS
tice.
When at length she triumphed and
saw the last of the brothers, Austin
BidweI, leave Old Newgate in 1898, the
devoted sister returned to Muskegon
and set about raising money to pay
off the debts of her campaign.
The brothers died in the west while
on a lecturing tour, but she kept on.
A book written by Austin Bidwell on
his experience was her chief asset.
She boasted that she paid back every
penny borrowed in her long fight.

parted on the steamer Teutonic for
England.

ANNULMENT OF DIVORCE
HELD TO BE AN ERROR
Thirteen Years Litigation in San
Francisco Results in Victory
for Plaintiff

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. AFTER
thirteen years of litigation, instituted
by a divorced wife to secure the an
nulment of her husbands second mar
riage, after she had succeeded in hav-
ing the original divorce decree set
aside, Judge Sturtevant of the superior
court here today, ruled that George
Sterlein, the man in the case, is legally
welded to his second wife and that the
annulment of the divorce by a North
Dakota court was invalid.
Thirteen years ago Sterlein secured
divorce from his wife in North Da-
kota after settling property on her TO
the value of $4,000. Later he came
to this city and again married. Short
ly after this second marriage, his first
wife procured the annulment of the di-
vorce on the ground that 1t was the
result of collusion and fraud. She then
came to this city and entered suit to
have the second marriage of Sterlein
annulled.
This suit has been dragging through
the local superior courts for more than
twelve years and the case did not end
until Judge Sturtevant decreed today
that the North Dakota court was
without jurisdiction when it annulled
the divorce decree.

COMMISSIONERS DENY
THEY EVER INTENDED
TO SIFT COMBINATION

WASHINGTON, Dec. If federal
Intervention has been planned to ac-
complish the disassociation of the Rock
Island and Frisco lines such a move
ment did not have its inception in the
interstate commerce commission. Com
missloners said tonight that the com
bination of the Rock Island and Frisco
lines had been discussed by that body
for three years
Members of the commission are of
the opinion that b. f. Yoakum and
b. L. Winchell have acquired the
Frisco, not with the idea of a positive
combination with the rapidly forming
Hawley system but to round out a
southwestern system of their own.
Mr.. Yoakum is interested in the de-
velopment of the southwest, and, by
getting back his Frisco it is said he
hopes with the connection with the
Seaboard Line at Birmingham, to carry
a large portion of the traffic that now
goes through ST. Louis.
1t is understood that in taking back
the Frisco which he practically turned
over to the Rock Island few years
ago, Mr.. Yoakum turned over his in
terest in the Rock Island company.

EASIER TO PREVENT

Most physicians are agreed that the
best way to combat most ills is by the
indirect method of stimulating the
body's natural powers in fighting and
destroying the germs of disease. Con-
sumption, for example, is much easier
to prevent than it Is to cure, and
throughout the land a determined war;
fare is being waged to lessen the dan
ger of infection by this insidious dis
ease. Coughs and colds are a prolific
source and should not be neglected.
At the first sign of a cold steps
should be taken to check it at once,
and this can best be done with a sim
pie mixture of two ounces of Glycer-
Inc, half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure and eight ounces of
pure Whisky. These can be mixed
together in large bottle. Shake we'll
and take a teaspoonful every four
hours. 1t is claimed by the Leach
Chemical co. of Cincinnati, who pre-
pare the Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure for dispensing through druggists.
that this mixture will break up cold
in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is durable.

IDEA THAT WOMAN WAS
BURIED ALIVE DISPR0VED

TILLAMOOK, Ore, Dec. IAN i'm
preston that Mrs. l.. A. Hol6redge, one
of the victims of the wreck of the
steamer Argo, was buried alive gained
such strong foothold after the funeral
ceremony Tuesday, that 200 residents
of the city went to the cemetery, three
miles out of town at midnight, ex-
humed the body, and an examination
by the physician revealed she was dead
before buried.
The idea that the woman was still
alive seems to have arisen from the
fact that her face was highly colored
and her body and limbs relaxed at the
time burial was made.
