Mrs. Dehlholm Says She Was Treated With Marked Cruelty. Mrs.. May Dehlholm of Salinas,.who was reported to have eloped with Chris Widemann, son of ervisor A. Wide- mann of that city, n the warpath.” She denies the allegation, says she did not know Widemann was in this city and declares she will at once institute proceedings for divorce. “Mr. Dehlholm is of a jealous, violent nature,” saig Mrs. Dehlholm yesterday. Incidentally it may be stated that Mrs. Dehlholm is a pretty woman of less than 30 years and not 40 as re- ported. In fact she says she will not be 28 until next October.

I have lived in this city for four months and until recently Mr. Dehlholm has been with me and my little child. He agreed that it would be better for us tu stay here for a while and he returned to Salinas. 1 Monday he returned and pro- ducing an anonymdus letter with vile words accused me of infidelity. Though I denied knowledge of Mr. Widemann's whereabouts he attacked me, beating my face and body, so that I was obliged to seek neighbors’ protection. The po- lice wanted me to prosecute him, but I dreaded the notoriety. “We have been married for about seven years, but were never congenial, although I have been a good wife to him. It was not a love match and since he has returned from the Klon- dike, when he only allowed me $15 a month for myself and child, I think he has been mentally changed.” I have been working to support myself and child and this story, which I have no doubt originated with .him, and his brutal attack on me have decided me to commence proceedings for divoree at once.

EM ILE LOUBET THE FAVORITE Probably Secure the Presidency. Will Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press. PARIS, Feb. 17.—Everything is very quiet in Paris to-day. There is no dan- ger of a coup d'etat. The favorite can- didate for the Presidency is M. Emile Loubet, now President of the Senate. Still the Ministers whom I saw to-day think that Faure's death is a misfor- tune at the present juncture, and this is the conventional talk. They had all looked forward to his having soon to resign, and they spoke to-day of the possible effect of his death on the courts of Europe. If M. Loubet be elected European | sovereigns would soon transfer to him their friendly regards. He js a good, unaffected, level-headed man of honest, open life and of far more intellectual culture than poor Faure. He is an ad- vocate and practiced at the Montilemar bar, in the department of the Drome. Montilemar is his native town. As a precaution against a coup d’etat or any attempts of the sort the troops have been ordered to keep within bar- racks in all the garrisons. M. Faure's body, now embalmed, is lying in state in the Salles des Fetes of the theateér built by President Carnot | for. concerts and dramatic entertain- ments. The corpse is on an inclined plane, the head being eighteen inches higher than the feet. The body is dressed In evening coat and the im- maculate well-known white waistcoat, athwart which is the broad red ribbon of watered silk of the Legion of Honor. The eyes are closed and fill out the eye- | | lids. The hands, of the color of ivory, are crossed on the breast. The black canopy, bordered with silver braid, overshadows the couch. embalming the body lay on a brass bedstead in the President's sitting- room. Two sisters of charity watched beside it. Before the operation, which lasted an hour, took place an informal dead mass was celebrated in the Elysee Chapel. To-day the whole official’ world has paid fgrmal visits of condolence at the palace; the formality consisting in writing the visitor's name on the regis- ter. Piles of telegrams from corporate bodies, personal friends, sympathizers in all parts of France, and indeed Eu- rope and even Asia, have arrived. . The first o telegraph to Mme. Faure was Emperor William: the next Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria. The army has been ordered to go into mourning until after the obsequies. Public events in France have a strange suddenness and take sponta- neously a dramatic character. Thus M. Faure's body lies in a salles des fetes, or hall of festivities. The cards had been issued to 6000 persons to at- tend a state ball next Thursday. To- ddy the tapestry of the ballroom has been taken down that the room may be hung in black. M. Faure had looked forward with delight to the Elysee be- ing in 1900 the resort' of sovereigns. The last letter he had from Emperor Nicholas was an acceptance of his (M. Faure's) invitation. He took great pleasure, also, in thinking that mem- bership in the Order of the Annuncia- tion would make him’'a *“cousin” of King Humbert, and the insignia of that order was to have been presented to him by a special embassy this month.-| But his soul was suddenly required of him, and all connected with his Presi- dential career is over. His death preaches a sermon upon.the vanity of human ambition. M. Lockroy, the Minister of Marine, «| naval Previous to| |hs especially struck with the example | M. Faure's death gives of the fragility of human greatness. Twice yesterday | he communicated with the President }on naval affairs. M. Faure, as a for- mer ship agent and charterer at Havre, | and once himself Minister of Marine, | deemed himself a naval authority. His. | hobby was a fleet of Corsair ruisers to attack in case of war nglish transatlantic steamers. M. Lockroy humored him and often con- sulted him, and now he cannot realize that the President is no more. He says he feels as he did once during an earth- quake. The total eclipse of the Elysian prep- | arations for festivity by the deepest | mourning also comes home to Lock- roy. Some fatality follows the Presidents of the French republic. Of the six we have had only President Grevy lived through a full ferm of office. and he was forced to resign by a hostile vote of Parliament. Marshal MacMahon found he could not remain President with dignity. M. Casimir-Perier's mo- ives for throwing up the situation are still a mystery. Carnot was assassinat- ed and Faure smitten as if by a thun- derbolt. M. Lockroy, who was present at the death, thinks it was 'painless. Dr. Lanne-Longue shares this opinion, but believes there in the early stages of apoplectic seizure agonizing pain. The doctor attributes the break down in the President's health to Fashoda. President Faure had fostered the scheme Major Marchand was Sent to accomplish, and he was terrified at its possible consequences. Dr. Lanne- Longue tells me that after the Fashoda incident M. Faure lost his appetite. It was then he began to feel so limp in the legs that he feared to ride on horse- back. Yesterday the sense of limpness ‘was so distressing that he gave up the idea of a canter in the Bols de Bou- logne. He usually went there between 8 and 10 in the morning mounted on a thoroughbred. He was rond of going to small morning reviews at Long- champs and of taking up a position be- side the reviewing general. I have been to see the Abbe Penault, who gave M. Faure absolution in ex- tremis. Mme. Faure, on seeing that death was hastening, begged that mes- sengers should be sent to summon three different priests and a Domini- can. All the priests, she thought, would not be out dining, the Dominican would surely be at his monastery. She also begged that if any messenger met a priest in the streets he should bring him at once to the Elysee. Abbe Renault is the humblest of the humble, being chaplain to the House | of Detention, or lock-up, at the Pre- fecture of Police. Yesterday he had dined with some relatives who have a | small shop in the Fauborg St. Honore. After dinner he was going home when suddenly a soldier on a bicycle came up, descended from the machine and caught him with visible agitation by the arm, saying, “Come with me.” Father Renault went and learned | where he was going at the Palace gate. There the solcier said: “The President is dying. Do what you can for him. He is not a bad chap. At the door a porter met the Abbe and conducted him to the sitting-room. The President was lying on a mattress upon the floor. He was in a flannel shirt and covered with draperies; his feet were wrapped in steaming flan- nels, his nostrils assalled’ with the mingled smells of mustard and ether, and blood flowing from his temples, I neck and forearm, for leeches, cup- ping, hypodermic Interjections and bleeding had been tried. The face was almost black with congestion. One doctor had drawn the tongue to keep the lungs alive; another held a bag of oxygen to his nose and was rubbing the hands. But no sign of returning animation was given. Dr. Lanne- Longue said: ‘“We have done all we can. Let religion to console the family now come in.” The Abbe dropped on his knees, all present doing likewise and gave absolu- tion in extremis. He had no holy oil to administer extreme unction. In the next room the ladies were sobbing. The Ministers came in and dropped on their | SONOMA SHOWS S ey HER WEALTH OF LDEN FRUIT Auspicious Opening of the Sev- ' enth Citrus Fair at Cloverdale. CLOVERDALE, Feb. 17.—The sev- enth annual citrus fair opened to-night under favorable auspices. It ‘was to have opened at noon, but the exhibitors were slow and the exhibits are large and require much time and labor. The pavilion at noon was almost in a state of chaos, but out of this chaos has come order and beauty, and to-night the vast pavilion was a veritable Gar- den of Eden. No sucl a display has ever greeted the eyes of visitors to citrus fairs of the past. Magnificent are the decorations this year, a San Francisco decorator having instituted new ideas in this line. Myr- iads of large and small flags of white, green and orange and the national flag bedeck the high arch above the main hall and are festooned in every nook and corner. Many and varied are the exhibits, and all of an artistic nature. A. Coughey has four pyramids of large navel oranges. The Preston exhibit, a collective one from the little village three miles north of Cloverdale, occupies prominent space on the right of the entrance. It con- sists of a twenty-foot table laden with large navel oranges, Mediterranean sweets and lemons in pyramids and piles, with the name ‘Preston” in large letters spelled with immense oranges over the exhibit. In this ex- hibit are a dozen mammoth navel oranges from a three-year-old tree. George H. Black of Geyserville dis- plays oranges raised at Geyser Peak, 8500 feet above the sea level, the dis- play representing a rustic stile embow- ered with growing orange trees bear- ing fruit. The Misses Lena Brush of Cloverdale and Mayme Potter and Bonnie Wag- goner of Sacramento have one of the unique exhibits of the fair in the way of an art studio or curiosity room. Ancient and recent works of art in all lines vie with large oranges and lemons, all placed in one harmonious whole, which is pleasing and catching to the eye. ; Secretary H. Fred Domine is soaring high, as one visitor expressed it, with his Jacob’s ladder built of citrus fruits embellished with hothouse plants on a foundation of blue grass. Director G. Hagmayer has a large pyramid of navel oranges and lemons. Mrs. L. A. Domine has an excellent imitation of the Russian River bridge near Cloverdale built of oranges and lemons with a mirror deceit of water beneath with electric effects. | E. G. Furber’s attractive display is a globe formed of navel oranges and artistically decorated. President William Caldwell has a minlature representation of the San Jose eiectric tower, thirty feet high, of oranges, lemons and colored electric lights. Brush, Williams & Domine show an electric fountain in the center pavilion, displaying citrus fruits, growing ferns, moss-colored lights and running water. It is very beautiful at night. F. Yordi displays a large Liberty Bell of 1776 built of oranges and lemons. The Cloverdale Wine Company has a magnificent display of wines at the end of the pavilion, arranged by E. A. Cooley. This is one of the prominent exhibits at the fair. Henry J. Crocker of San Francisco comes to the fore with a large Maltese cross of navels, Malta bloods and lemons constructed by C. F. Trim, man- ager of the Los Ajauges Rancho. B. F. Green shows a large star of navels. E: Postmaster George B. Baer's exhibit is an immense pyramid of navels topped by an aviary of twenty cana- ries. Levi Shelford has a large pyramid of excellent navels. Director G. statue of oranges which is placed a “Miss Citrus Fair,” in_her hands. Fred Whitaker has a grand display of seven kinds of oranges, and shows lemons also. H. F. Snyder shows oranges and lemons of a large size from three-year- old trees. M. Menihan has a unique display of oranges, lemons, grapefruit and grow- ing laden trees in artistic arrange- ment. Dr. A. M. Coomes displays an elabor- ate exhibit of ollves from his forty- acre olive ranch. J. A. Kleiser's space is occupied by large seedless navel and Mediterranean sweet oranges, The D. D. Club of Cloverdale ex- hibits a varied display of citrus and deciduous fruits, tastefully arranged. Mrs. A. N. Clark of Geyserville has an imitation windmill of prunes, clev- erly constructed. The Cloverdale Canoe Club has an Indian boat constructed of oranges and lemons. At the entrance to the pavilion -the “Orange City,” most impressive to the incoming visitor, is one of the best ex- Cameron exhibits a and lemons, over large doll, named a card of welcome hibits. It was constructed by C. B. Shaw. Many other exhibits are still incom- plete. = The fair will be in full operation to- morrow, which is Mendocino’s and Lake County’s day. A large crowd is ex- pected. There will be a special pro- gramme to-morrow afternoon and evening. These are beautiful moonlight nights and warm. The business houses are all decorated in the carnival colors. knees. As the clock on the mantel struck ten a doctor said “All is over.” | Some persons went into the next room | to inform Mme. Faure and her daugh- | ters. She soon came out, and with | great composure, as if her grief was'| suddenly hushed, ordered that the body be placed on the President’s brass- railed - bed and be kept until embalmed as long as possible. She thanked the | priest for rendering the last offices to | a Christian and said that before the | Presidént lost consciousness he had | prayed for forgiveness of all whom he might have offended. “His tongue was | paralyzed as he spoke,” she said, and again “the poor have lost in his death a | good friend.” At her request some | prayers were recited by the Abbe, who | was profoundly affected by the whole | scene. | The German Emperor’'s telegram is | effusive. Dowager Queen Emma and Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands | have telegraphed heartfelt condolences. Queen Victoria as yet has made no sign, but Lord Salisbury has in a mes- sage to M. Delcasse. The Czar and Czarina are full of sympathy and the Russian Grand Dukes now in Paris have called at the Palace. M. Faure's death has calmed rather | than excited political parties. The sit-| uation is grave and the people every- where feel this. I was struck at the| Chamber of Deputies with the absence | of wild excitement. The wish is to se-| lect the best man for President, jrre-‘ spective of party considerations. M. Loubet is therefore the favorite. M. | Dupuy is a candidate, and Paul Des- | chanel, the President of the Chamber, will be a candidate, but on second bal- lot. He has charm of manner, but is| lacking in weight.

The obsequies will take place next Thurs- day in the cathedral of Notre Dame and the interment will occure in the cemetery of Pere la Chaise. ‘At the meeting of the Leftist Senators to-day M. Loubet, the President of the Senate and former Premier, was unani- mously nominated for the Presidency of France in succession to the late Presi- dent Faure. The Senators consider M. Loubet’s selection as assured. The Chamber of Deputies met at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The hall was crowded. M. Deschane, who presided, read Premier Dupuy’s letter announc- ing the death of President Faure and pronounced a eulogy on the deceased chief magistrate. He also asked all Frenchmen to unite around his coffin. M. Deschanel then read a letter from the President of the Senate, M. Loubet, announcing that the National Assem- bly would meet at Versailles to-morrow. It was then moved that the House ad- journ as a token of mourning. This was agreed to and the Deputies dis-- persed. * In the Senate to-day M. Loubet, the President of that body, announced the death of President Faure. In so doing he said all the members of the Senate joined in_the mourning for suddenly stricken France.

[A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.] | A woman with the bluesisa very un- comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as “the blues,” nearly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any | person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv- ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn’t under- stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com- mon sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- lowing letter: “DEAR MRS, PINKmAM:—I have suf- | fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow fornearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice.
