In his answer Mr. Smith names Henry Claus, a fellow member of the Riding and Driving and other clubs, as the isturber of his domestic bliss. He in- cludes with his own affidavit those of several prominent Brooklyn men, includ- ing Charles 8S. Burr, Edwin 4. Ames, Ieander 8. Herrick, Arthur Pomeroy and Anson M. Richards.

Smith E’goveral years older than his wife. Says Wife Sent Messages. Smith alleges that his wife became ac- quainted with Claus avout three ago, and that since tat time she has frequently telephoned to Claus and sent him messages making arrangements for him to meet her when she knew Smith was not going to be home to dinner. He avers that Claus and Mrs. Smith | have been seen coming out of the Savoy Hotel, in Manhattan, together and have been seen together in various other es. piscthur Pomeroy, In his aMdavit, states that while the iths were i it Asbury Park last summer Mrs. Suni!

He is be- leved 'to have taken his life late last nignt. as it 4s said he was known to have been moving about the house dur- ing the evening. Velsor was tiventy-three years of age and unmarried.

The house ‘being cold, Miss Velsor descended to the cellar to stant up the furnace. She found her nephew hanging from a beam. Singularly enough, his feet trailed on the floor, owing to his height, Tho hysiclan who was called stated that Gelsor must have held his feet clear of the floor until unconscious to effect his purpose. The shock was so great 10 Miss Velsor that she fainted and fell to. the cellar floor, where she re- inained unconscious for more than an hour.

The women did not seem to appreciate his attentions. Several of them even went so far as to beat him over the head with umbrellas. Some women are s0 particular. Kennedy was at Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street when his attention was attracted by a crowd of young women across the street who seemed to be in trouble, Konnedy ran over and saw that the women were beating a man over the head with umbrellas and packages, They said the man had been hugging and attempting to kiss them. None of them would go to the station to make a charge against him, and the man, who gave his name as Tower, was allowed to £0. Tower then went up to the elevated station, and in a few moments Kennedy heard screams coming from there. He ran up and found Tower again in the centre of a crowd of indignant women who were denouncing him roundly. Kennedy decided it was time to do something, and arrested Lower, At the West Thirtieth street station Tower said he didn’t know why he had tried to hug and kiss strange ‘women.

Plunkett came to this conclusion after spending Several hours on tae cold stone wall that surrounds Central Park, where he sat In the chilling blasts in the vain hope of catching Miss Munro and serv- ing her with a writ of attachment ‘The original cause og Plunkett's com- plaint was Miss Munro's failure to pay & bill of $588 which Acker, Merrall &| Condit hold against her, The goods, ac- | cording to the firm, consisted mainly of | wines and cig: The money waa fre- quently demanded, but Miss Munro pald no attention to the demands, The | bill was finally turned over to the arm's | lawyers and they brought ault. Judg- ment was obtained by default. Miss Munro was then warned that un- less she scttled an attachment would be issued against her. To this warning she pald not the slightest attention. Plunkett was given the attachment to serve. He called at Miss Munro's apartments, No. 36 Central Park South, and was in forged that she was not at home. When he returned he was told, he would not be admitted, He called several times, but failed to obtain a glimpse of Miss Munro. Then he took his seat on the stone wall surrounding the park opposite and began a waiting game. His waiting was in vain, Miss Munro remained out of sight. Plunkett now Asserts that unless he gets the money to-day he will force himself on Miss Munro as a New Year's caller. He | says he will get into the apartment if he has to climb through a window. Her apartments are sumptuously furnished, and he has no fears of not finding enough property to attach. Plunkett's t ts will probably cause Miss Munro not the slightest worry.

Everybody writes to Dr. medical advice, Grandmothers when they meet some dim- culty that the family physician canrot over- come. Mothers write when something happens in the household that baffles their skill, and about which the doctor does not seem quite clear. Even the children write to Dr. Hartman. Tn our files are many curious letters from the little folks asking advice and seeking counsel of the great discoverer of Peruna, the world’s renowned author of books and pampblets on catarrhal diseases. These letters are carefully answered by confidential clerks and assistant ®hysicians, Of course, there are so many of them that {t would not be possible for Dr. Hartman to see them all. but whenever such a letter Hartman for answer that ts sometimes vastly more valu- able than many. visits from the doctor. or much money spent {n drugs, Congressman Georre H.
