aristocracy of idle playing about;
who sbhors the American gospel OF
work; who at the first faint oppor-
tunity abandons all the sordid cares
of American workaday life and de-
votes herself to nne raiment and
visiting. to building coy corners or
palaces, to improving her mind by

Our parasite class" Mr. Phillips

family, waiting for some man TO
come along and be beguiled by mis-

and gorgeous visitation, this Vatican

who came here six weeks ago to tes-
| tify for Mrs. Nora Mellen, wife of
Andrew w. Mellen, the Pittsburg
millionaire, in her action for separa-
ton against him, have contrived to
| entsngle themselves hopclessly IN
| the meshes of the Law. This fact
| is all the more surprising since both
men made the trip to the United
States on their own inative with the
avowed intention of helping the wo-
man, who as Nora McMullen, was
| born and brought up in the same
part of England with them. What
ever may be the real reason for
their change of heart after they
reached Pittsburs it is generally be-
lieved that they have been placed in
their Present embarrassing position
through a INTERPRETATION of con-
ditions by the lawyers Of Mrs. Mel
len. On their advice. the two men
left the jurisdiction OF the Pittsburg
courts and fed to New York after
they had been served with a sub
poena issued on behalf of the hus-
band, directing their appearance in
court. Mellen, who is extremely
bitter against Curphey. blaming him
for much of the domestic discord In
his home, caused the two men to be
pursued here and arrested as fugi-
tives. Released on bail pending the
arrival of exrradtfon papers from
the Governor of Pennsylvania. which
the Governor of New York honored
the other day, they again vamoosed
no one knows where. In the alb
men for the odd course they have
been following, it is believed they
have repented of their offer to testi-
e. for Mrs Mellen and for some
reason fear that the all powerful i'm
huence of Mellen will land them in
jail. In the event Of their return to
pttsburg it is almost certain that
they will be punished for contempt
of court in ignoring the subpoena
issued for them, so that however the
case turns out, it seems certain their
trouble than they counted upon on
leaving England.
