FLEEING SPOUSE IS BADLYVAMTED Nellie Bly Says Her Lilliputian Husband Skipped With Her Money. Minneapolis, Feb. 18. Radiant in a deep pink klmona of weird oriental design, Mr. Albert Dundee, formerly Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, a bride of three weeks, who sixteen years ago became world famous as the globe trotting Nellie Bly, vowed a vengeance akin to a Corsica n oath in her apartments at the Carlcton hotel when informed by a reporter that her husband appeared to be already the husband of another. Dundee, who was a sort of sign painter , 48 years old. got Into communication with the former Nellie Bly through the agency of h matrimonial bureau. Repeated and insistent inquiries by mail as to whether she was IKisscssed of funds brought the information that she was. Careless in His Packing. Together they came to Minneapolis, stayed a few days at the Hotel Raddison at her expense and then moved to the Carleton. There after a few days, Dundee, she says begun to pack up. Clandestinely, she asserts, he packed up her goods as well as his own. A son In the Philippines had sent her numerous works of native Filipino and Japanese urt, rare and costly. Included In the were beautifully carved ivory card-cases purses, etc.. Moving day was Saturday, and it came with out Dundee even saying goodbye, .she says. His trunk remained at 1022 Hawthor avenue, where he explained, on paying his arrears in room rent with a check given him by Mrs. Dundoe No. 2., that he was to engage in the moving picture business in St. Paul. "I was lonesoome and was coming to a time In my life when I felt the need of companionship,'" said Mrs. Dundee, in attempting to explain why she rushed headlong into the alliance. "He is even Illiterate, short or stature and not prepossessing in appearance tn any way. He even talks ungramatically. I have had experience with men and I am shocked at myself that I could be cheated in this way. But I will follow him wherever he goes and see that he Is punished. I told him that 1 had sufficient income for my own needs and some besides. Part of It comes from my son in the Philippines."

Has Mother Earth Swallowed Some People? Reports Prove It

New York. Feb. 18. After you have read the rare accounts of mysterious disappearances that get Into the newspapers, you are likely to say, Very few people disappear. Anybo dy who does is an heiress, whose family is there with the proof that she never saw a man in her life, but who, in course of time, turns out to have corresponded clandestinely with ev erybody she had ever known from Florence to Paris." It is a mistake says a writer in the Times. Nothing more common is known to the police or the detective agencies. It is commoner than pocket picking and not much more exceptional than intoxication. So common is it that at police headquarters there is a squad, working the usual number of hours a day, known as the "disappearance squad," and headed by a police lieutenant. It consists of about eight men. who work daily on the cases of mysterious disappearance reported to Center street. They are headed by an expert on disappearances. The explanation of disappearances is usually the simplest thing in the world. The fascination attaching to such stories is not in their solution, but in the long standing mystery. A case of this sort was that of a well-to-do Irishman in Brooklyn, who vanished about fifteen years ago. It was a summer evening and he was sitting out on the stoop of his house with his wife and children. He had no hat on and was in his shirt sleeves and smoking a clay pipe. About 10:30 he arose, stretched himself and said: "I guess I'll go down to Casey's and get a drink." From that day he has never been seen alive by anybody in America. The solution was found when, a month later, a cable message said that he was dying in a little country town in Ireland. What had happened was this: Unknown to his family, he "had been drinking a good deal, and, at the saloon to which he went, he met a friend who was thoroughly intoxicated and was going to Ireland in tho morning. After having had enough drinks to get him in a similar state, nothin seemed more reasonable to him than to go with his friend to Ireland. The friend bought him a coat and hat and they went aboard the steamer together. Policeman Swallowed Up. The strangest case in the annals of the police department is that of policeman Judge. Kvery detective will tell you that nothing like it was ever known. James J. Judge, of the Bronx park precinct disappeared the night of December 2. 1910. Ho was in full uniform; he had just drawn his pay; he was a sober and respectable man. The last seen of him was in a saloon in Third avenue, where he took two drinks of whisky. He left there to go home and was never seen again. He was a married man with a family. One of the theories on which the detectives worked was that, as the taxicab strike was on at the time, some sympathizer might have waylaid Judge. He had been on duty during the strike along Kast Twenty-seventh street. The practical Impossibility of killing a big policeman in full unfornvwithout some trace of the crime being left put an end to that theory. If Judge had voluntarily gone away it was a practical im possibility for him to do it in uniform. The hospitals and rivers were searched, without result. On March 15, 1907, Albion Davis Pike disappeared from Harvard university. He came from Lubec, Me., and was twenty-one years of age. He was a good looking boy and well dressed. There was no mystery about the cause of his disappearance, which was that his professors had made unfavorable criticisms on his class work, and that these had preyed o.n the young man's mind. The police theory was suicide. Nevertheless, no trace of him was ever found. He did not smoke, drink or associate with dissolute characters. The best guess as to what became of him that any detective can give today is that he may have changed his identity and buried himself In some southern or western town. Case of Adele Boas. The most famous disappearance case in recent years, before that of Dorothy Arnold, was that of Adele Boas, April 23, 1909. this thirteen-year-old girl vanished. She was tall for her age and looked almost, like a young woman. She was a pupil in a fashionable school In West Eighth street, and a niece of Emil L. Boas, general passenger agent of the Hamburg-American steamship company. Miss Boas disappeared while on a shopping excursion with her mother. The mystery of the case was deepened by the fact that the police were told she had no hobbies and was a quiet, home staying sort of child. Unknown tr her parents and schoolfellows. Miss Boas had cherished a restless disposition to get out in the world and do something for herself. "I was tired of being mamma's baby," she said when she came back. She was found serving as a waitress in a cheap eating house In Boston, and her father paid $3,000 reward to a Beverly street bookbinder who found her there. Of course the historic case is that of Charley Ross, the little boy who dis appeared in Germantown, July 1, 1874. In that case the parents acted on the advice of the police and refused to have any communication with the kidnappers. Their refusal to answer all propositions for ransom doubtless caused the death of the little fellow, who is now believed to have been mur dered by his abductors at a time w hen the pursuit had grown so warm that his presence might have led to their detection. Missing aBnk Cashier. George A. Himmel, cashier of the Farmer- State bank of Arkansas City, Kas, disappeared in August, 1S9S. Large rewards offered by his relatircs failed to produce any evidence of his existence. Thinking he was dead, his

sister tried to collect annuity policies on his life amounting to $25,000 from the New York Life Insurance company. The company refused to pay until proof of death was shown. In the resultant lawsuit it was discovered that Himmel was in Auburn prison. His story was that, at ths time of his disappearance In 189R, he had been beaten up by thugs in St. Louis and that a cut at the base of the brain had caused a loss of memory and of identity. A deep scar on the

back of his head demonstrated the truth of at least a part of his statement. Himmel came to his senses years afterward in Matteawan asylum, where he was serving a term under the name of White. His crime was forgery. Himmel dropped the name of White as soon as he. got his identity back. He was found in Auburn in January, 1908. FADS AND FASHIONS New York. Feb. IS. One-piece frocks are undoubtedly popular, but that does not mean that blouses will be out of the running during the coming season. A glance at the advance displays in the fashionable shops will dispell any erroneous notions in that direction. There have been pretty blouses in other seasons, but never were they more charming than at this time. The most adorable models may be found in the big shops and their prices vary a great deal according to the materials and trimmings used. Iast year a touch of color crept into many of the blouses and this year the color note is even more pronounced, the result being extremely attractive. I.ASt summer the color element crept Into white blouses through the medium of embroidery or in the fine imported cottons and linens in which a colored design appeared on a white ground. These effects are again shown this season, but something newer is the little yoke or hem or inserts of finest cotton marquisette or voile in color, a French blue and a soft pink being the coloring most often repeated . One sees such models everywhere and with innumerable variations. One pretty white blouse is of sheer imported French lawn, a material which in the desirable qualities is preferred by many blouse makers to handkerchief linen, because it is softer and sheerer, while wearing admirably. The design Was simple. The cuffs of the threequarter sleeves showed a band of French blue cotton voile between narrow bands of real Irish insertion. A shallow round yoke running down a little way in the middle front in a narrow tab was set into the blouse by a line of the Irish insertion, and around the top of the close standing blue collar was a line of the insertion. Tiny white buttons embroidered with a fleck of blue in the center were set down the front of the blue yoke and Its tablike continuation. There are also white blouses whose shoulder and upper sleeve sections are in colored voile or marquisette, while little hems or touches of embroidery in the same color appear elsewhere. Many pretty little Dutch neck blouses are made with the peasant sleeve and with yeck and sleeve finish of rather wide lace bands bordered by hems of pink or blue. One of these, seen in a shop, had the. pink hems and Irish lace bands and had also a band of the pink running from waist-line to bust-line up the front, set into the white blouse with narrow lace and adorned with white flat crochet buttons having pink In their centers. Voile and marquisette are the favorite materials for lingerie blouses thi3 season. First of all, they are durable. The meshes are woven In loose, strong paterns, and the fabrics can be washed over and over again without the slightest evidence of wear and tear. Then again, they are wool, which is one of the requisites for sette are inexpensive and come in double width. The square mesh of, either cotton voile or marquisette! forms an e xcellent background fori embroidery. A quickly sketched in de-j sign in conventional squares or circles will form an effective yoke. Heavy I mercerized cotton in colors will work wonders; silk of the coarse strands! used in all branches of decorative work, gives a delightful touch. The elaborate lingerie, net frocks which are figuring among the advance models displayed by the fashionable shops give one the idea that the next summer season's styles will not bei famous for their simplicity, although j occasionally one may find some j charming model of demure simplicity. In the fine lingerie models open work embroidery plays an important role, being used freely with lace and with other hand embroidery, and one often finds bold ojen work designs on comparatively heavy linen entering into combination with the sheerest and finest of handkerchief linen. French lawn or batiste. The lower part of the skirt, for example, may be entirely of the heavier linen, weighted with heavy embroidery, while the rest of the frock, save for trimming motifs, may be fairly cooweoDj in us iiniifs. Aaomerj idea frequently develoed shows veryjsheer lingerie material veiling bold: embroidery in open work and raised' ' embroidery, the latter showing frankly, also in trimming bands or motifs, i Heavy laces too are used for coc-l trast with the sheer soft lingerie mi-! terials and like the heavy embroidery! will drag a soft fulled skirt down into? the approved straight and narrow lines. Irish lace is lavishly used, bar-! ing apparently quite regained the popularity which seemed for a time to be waning. Quite Lifsliks. First Ccnirtbal How did that neter taste?

Christian Endeavor

BY REV. S. Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week Beginning Feb. 19, 1911. Topic Serenity: how to get it; whet it accomplishes. John xiv. l, 27; xvl. SS. Edited by Kev. Sherman II. Doyle, D. D. Serenity is a new word in the Chrisunderstood. Trt ihonchtful and ohserv- l ing people it is just as evident that serenity is a Christian grace that is greatly needed in the present age. If we had more serenity and less strenuoslty in our lives we would live longer and enjoy it much better while we do live. "The strenuous life" Is a good gospel to preach to a few people here and there who are always serene, sometimes to the verge of laziness. Lut Christ in speaking of the serene life, as when he said, "Let not your hearts be troubled," had no such idea in mind. The American darkies as a class are about the most untroubled race of people in the world. It may rniu or shine, prices may be high or low, they may not know where their next meal is to come from or where they are to sleep the next night, they' may meet with losses and bereavement, yet tholr hearts are ever lijilit, and they sing on with their fine musical voices just the same. Their improvidence could not be surpassed. yet it never stops the joyous laughter, yet it peals forth, oft times as sweet as the chimes of silver bells. They seem like children, totally incapable of appreciating the seriousness of the responsibilities of life. Such serenity Christ did not speak of, ami yet sometimes we could almost feel a desire, for awhile at least, to just throw off life's cares aud sorrows, forget theiu all and have no troubled hearts and wearied minds. Life is strenuous, and the honest man who wishes to support his family and meet all their obligations simply could not throw off thought concerning them. But the trouble is over mental anxiety. It will pay no bill nor advance business; rather the reverse, for it unfits fur the lest efforts of our lives. Worrying throughout the night nud tossing sleeplessly about weaken a man's working ability for the next day. The brain is not clear and the nerves at their best after a night of tossing and worrying through the night. Yet these, through refreshing sleep, help us to greater cheer and give us great power to face the problems of life and overthrow thorn. A cheerful heart i better than medicine and an untroubled mind a greater help than all the worried minds In the world. Business men do not fail or become nervous wrecks or die of heart disease as a result of overwork, but over worry. In this ngo we are living too fast, craving for greater dally results, and under such circumstances we should mingle serenity with strenPASTOR SLANDERS WOMAN IN SERMON Youngslown. Ohio, Feb. 18. Rev. T. T. Wilk, pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic church, was arrested on a" warrant sworn to in Justice Welch's court charging him with slander as the result of a sermon which he preached a few weeks ago directed at the women of his congregation. It is declared by the prosecuting witness, Anna K. Ryan, that he directed his remarks particularly at her, mentioning her name from the pulpit. The organization of a society in the church to which he was opposed, called down his indignation from the pulpit is declared. Dr. Wilk was released on bond and the hearing, will be held on Thursday. It is said that a large part of the women of the parish are behind the complaining witness in her suit. A serious riot occurred between the two factions and the priest is besieged in his house.
