SICKLES HAS TO
WOO WIFE AGAIN
Also Must Discharge His House
keeper Before Reconcilia-
tion Is Possible.

New York, Sept l9-In a quaint old
world manner and a voice supernally
soft, despite a catch that occasionally
crept into 1t, Mrs. Daniel f. Sickles
unsealed her lips today to tell for the
first time the story OF the trouble be-
tween herself and General Sickles.
Mrs. Sickles declared quietly that
only upon two conditions would she
become reconciled to the picturesque
old warrior with whose life hers has
been linked for for Al of its 90 years
These conditions are:
First-The general must come a.
courtin' just as be did In the old days
back in Madrid when he was Ameri-
can ambassador 70 the court Of Spain
and she was q dark-eyed. raven-haired
slip Of a girl
Second-The general must agree I'M
mediately 10 dismiss his housekeeper,
Miss Eleanor Earl Wilmerding. at
whose door Mrs. Sickles and her son,
Stanton. place q large part of the
AAtaAAAN lAl '-4- i4 N0NAA GAAlOA AALAd Lss CON
diJion Of affairs.
Mrs. Sickles strOve TO make II plain
that the general himself must make
the first overtures. Although she dld
not directly say so. she allowed IL to be
clearly understood that she does not
intend TO participate in another such
scene as that which took place Thurs
day afternoon last in the foyer Of the
generals ancient, manse-like home al
% Fifth avenue.
On this occasion Mrs. Sickles and
her son were repulsed when they went
10 the house to inform the general
that she had pawned her jewels in or
der 70 satisfy an $4,000 Judgment
against him. thus preventing deseCrat
ing hands from being forcl5Iy laid upon
his presentation swords. medals and
curios collected from ali corners of the
globe
There is little 10 say" she begal
1t is not true that the breach between

He is feeble, too, and his life is mar
row He needs"
Here the gentle old Iady's emotion
over mastered her and she could speak
no more She spent the rest of the
day in seclusion.
The rest of the story was told by
Stanton Sickles, who believes that his
father is holding in trust for him some
$50. 900 wiIled TO him by his grand
father.
Stanton SickIes stated emphatically
that his mother has given The general
in the last few years more than $iS,-
600.
When mother pawned her jewels to
satisfy the Lincoln Trust company
judgment. and saved the generals col
lection. it was not the first time she
had come to his financial assistance"
said the son. Seven years ago she
gave him $4,000 without the slightest
security"
Stanton Sickles added that, accord
ug 10 his understanding, the general
has been specializing in Wall street of
late years and his losses have been
heavy. Stanton said he had asked
President Webb Of the Lincoln Trust
for what purpose the general had Dor
owed the $4,000.
Mr. Webb told me that It had been
represented 10 him that the general
wished to satisfy the claim of another
company" added the son. Later, Mr..
Webb said he discovered that the mon
ey had been spent in another way and
not one calculated TO return a profit.
He had no security, so he decided 10
sue and forecIose, II necessary. to pro-
tect himself"
General Sickles remained adamant
today. No statement was obtained
from either him or his housekeeper.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: While down

handsome | wished him 10 make
favorable impression upon my friend,
but he was wearing a most unbe-

We are not on footing which would

to write him al Anonymous letter

style Of hat is not at all the sort for
him 70 wear? INA ].

Do not write him an anonymous let

lady OF IS and have been invited 10
spend a few days at a gentleman

saying people may talk Would there
be any harm for me 10 go. as his
mother and sister have asked me? |
