Canadian Gives "Lone Widow" Engage- ment Ring, But Atter That She Was "Out"—Trouble With Neva Scotia Brothers, New York, Aug. 27.--•Rcrelations re- garding the wineonre "widows" at No. 383 West 82nd street. made yesterday to Assistant District Attorney Car- mody, indicated that the fair Mrs. Ver• rault and her companion, Mrs. Izella Brown, had euchred New York mer• chants out of goods aggregating $100,- 000 100,000 in value. The goods, it is said, were obtained on the Instalment plan, a small pay- ment being made ou delivery under contract that the balance be made good In monthly instalments. These were never paid, it is charged, and yet the scheme was engineerer so ingeniously that the loners never were able to fix upon the guilty portions. The meshes of the federal government tightened even more closely about Mrs. Bina F. Verrault, alias "Mee. Helen Hamilton," yesterday, when another alleged victim of her matrimonial schemes was discovered. He was S. S, Snider, a prominent official of the Northwesetrn Life Insurance Company. Snider, until July 1 last, occupied an apartment at No. 417 .Manhattan ave- nue. On July 1, it is said, he was asked by the owners to leave, His present whereabouts is unknown. Attracted by Her Advertisement, Snider is a Canadian. and came to New York about two years ago front Toronto, Ont. Ile, too, was attracted by the "lonesome widow" personal that Mrs. \'errault had published, and he .readily mage her acquaintance. Ile knew the w•onlnn as "Mrs. Montgom- ery," under which name she first mas- queraded to Count %nlinoff, 3tr. Snider became inuneneely fusein- ated. He railed daily at the 73rd street house, where the "widow" lived in luxury. Letters of an endearing na- ture, it is Paid, passed between them, There were trips to the roof gardens and the restaurants. At all tirnes, "Mrs, Montgomery" was dressed in the finest of clothes; at all times her se- lections were in perfect taste; there was nothing loud. nothing vulgar. Ap- parently, she was all that she repre- sented herself to be—a wealthy widow, anxious for a husband's love and pro- tection. Mr. Snider proposed marriage. With a sigh, "Mrs, Montgomery" accepted bis heart and hand. No man was hap- pier than the Canadian, when, on the next day, he gave his nffinneed bride a sparkling dienond engngcment ring, a trinket valued at $200, But almost immediately afterwards, "litre. Montgomery" changed har hab- its. She was never in when he called: she never answered his letters. At last these were returned unopened. Reports Her to Police. And then, in his awakened anger, Snider reported the affair to police headquarters. Detectives of the \Vest 68th street station were assigned on the ease, but in the Interim the 73rd street house had been vacated. Boards barred Its windows; cobwebs stretched across its threshhold. Nor could any clue he obtained regarding its former occupant. Snider had seen nothing of Mrs. Brown. 4 Tl,e scheme by which, It is said, mer- chants were ouchred out of their just due's was remarkable in its daring. Ar- ticles al every description, furniture, rugs, s 1verware. lipe{n, books, were ordered on the Instalment plan, Ac• ,cording to Use federal authorities, these goods, w en delivered to 114 West 73rd street, would not he unpack- ed, but a day later would be slipped to a storage house. There they would be left. for a few days, when, it is said, they would be brought bark to the house. unpacked, re -crated and shipped to Boston or Chicago. Bill collectors, according to the charges, would be told thee "Mrs. Brown had jurat gone out," A searching. investigation of police court records revealed an incident that occurred last fall in Afrs. Verrault's 'House of Mystery," and which almost resulted in the entire "love syndicate" being exposed at that time, Rebelled Against Relatives, It was in September that Mrs. Brown, s native of Nova Scotia, received an unexpected call from two of her bro- thers—Samuel W.

In the ostentatiously furnished (drawing -room of their sis- ter's house they were out of place; ,Meir clumsy boots end frightfully on the polished floor; their horny harms held clumsily the dainty afternoon tea- cups; their speech was rough and ready, and their grammar faulty. Their presence was unwelcome to both Mrs. Verret'It and Mist Lillian B. :Brown, Neither hid the fact of her re- sentment, and, finally bringing Mrs. Brown to' their point of view, all openly belled, The visitors were asked to ieare the house. They at first refused to do so, Doi Robert Emmett Keene, general handy man around the'house, at- 9letnpte(1 to ty(row them out. But in the encounter he fared badly.

X's have been com- monly' used try the Ontario shippers, three X's being the highest grade, two 1's the smote] grade and one X the third grade. 'I'I►e Dominion Conference of Fruit Growers at the meeting hist Murcia , in order to secure uniformity throughout the Dominion, recommended the change which was introduced by the Minister of Agriculture, Another important feature is the definition of grades. Formerly only one grade, No, 1, was defined. There wns, therefore, no uniformity about any of the other grades, and many complaints were receival from foreign countries as the result of this anomaly. The new amendment defines three grades, The first is a "fancy" grade containing only perfect apples. The No. 1 grade, in which there is an allowance of ten per cent, for defective specimens, calla for a package containing apples %every one of which is a well-known specimen of the variety named on the package, Mound, of not lees than medium size, of normal shape, and of good color for the variety.

This is Intended simply to cover ivadvertencies In rapid work, but army packers have taken it for granted that this ten per cunt, may be fruit of any sort so long '►s it has grown upon art apple tree. Even a casual reeding of the new sunendments should show that such is sat the case, that even the ten per cent, of defective fruit must be apples of high grade with reference to sound- ness, eine, color 1111(1 shape, The definition of a No. 2 apple Is not so stringent, 'There is a twenty per cent, allowance for inedvcrtencies in rapid work. All apples in a No, 2 package most be not less than nearly medium Mize, It is expected that the eighty per cent, will contain some de- fective npplea, but these defects must bo of such a character hs not to cause "ma- terial waste." Therefore, apples that are wormy or seriously scabby will not pass ns No, 2. Immature apples will also be barred out and must not be marked higher than No, 3. The No, 3 grade is not defined, but the grade mark is provided to enable shippers to send forvnrd nny market- able apples that cannot qualify for the better grades. Dealers are warned by the fruit di- vision that in making cnntrnets to sup- ply apples they '.should not oversell No, 1 apples, There will probnbly be .four barrels of No. 2 apples for every barrel of No, 1 pecked in the average orchard this year, '4.* THE MANCHURIA.

Mr. Clark has in the neighborhood of 600 acres of wheat under his own supervision. besides oats and other grain. He is to be seen any day with four binders going, driven by himself, two sons and hired man. He estimates his machinery and horses at $10,000, Mr, Taylor runs a complete thresh- ing outfit, taking the grain out of stook and putting ft in the bag. Ile expected to §tart the season on Mon- day of this week. Some of those wholvent west from Blyth on the excursion are engaged with Mr, Taylor to run his machinery. Mr. Wilford was told that just north of the Portage could be seen in a fleld, seven binders in procession with ten men stoking. There is a great in- flux of Americans to the western country, and they are taking up land in certain localities very fast. He says that while he saw such pros- perity he also saw the most sterile land it is possible to look upon, in some sections of the country. Mr. Wilford speaks highly of the cor- diality extended to them by all with whom they came in contact. STEEL KNIFE IN THE FLESH.

The corn- mittce has just reported that it lens mode a careful investigation of the subject in eighty-six of the eighty-eight depart- ments into which France is diveded, ex- tending its inquiries even into Algeria. According to this report, out of 194 jour- neymen painters who were in the hos- pitals of France in 1004 only twenty- seven were sick from diseases originat- ing from their trade, "If this number were double," says the report, "we arse still vory far from the ravages which have been attributed to the use of white lead," The committee, has not been able to discover any evidence of the execs - mortality which was reported to prevail in this business.

There they remain uutll the diver Is ready tl, dress again, when the valet eurefully picks thew out of the tin and screws thew back in place, The operation of dresshlg a diver re quires two dlslluot movements, one taking place an the deck of the vessel or platform from which lie is working the other at the head of the ladder ou which the diver descends to the depths below. It Is a business that 1'egillres a good deal of time, for the diver's Ilfc depends 011 just how carefully each of the several things are done, and no one sacrifices thoroughness to speed. '1'be diver ulwuys has u comfortable place to sit ou before he begins remov- ing bis shoes, utter which tie draws on u long pair of heavy wooleu stockings over the legs of trousers.

Then the valet puts u bluek silk skullcap ou the diver's head, and the diver waddles 'over to the bead of the ladder atter a pair of Leavy rubber bands are slipped uver the' rubber curie of the cult, for the diver works with bared bands, '- Then come the final touches of the costuwe, wbh li are always made as near the bead of the ladder as possible, for these operutloue cousist of putllug on the weighted shove, the weighted breast belt and the copper helmet. The diver slips his feet tut° the shoes of cast Irou, and his vulet and uuother helper buckle them around Ills lustep, Then be bends down, restiug his urtus on the head Of the ladder, while the belt, on whleh.ui'e fastened great, thick squares of lead, Is buckled around his breast and across his shoulders, '1'be signal cord Is fastened to the breastplate with leather thongs, (Intl then the siguul Is given to the nlnu at the air pump -to "work lively," which weans that be is to send the wheel around at a much faster puce than he does when the diver Is at work, 11111: belug done to get a good current of alt passing through. the pipe. beast time of all does It take to put the helmet ou, for it Is ilropped into place, and after one half turn the Ihirg Is done Dowu goes the grotesque ilgure be. low the eurfue° of the water, up front the helmet cones a constant stream of alt' bubbles, and if the diver Is not working at too great it depth you eau presently bear the click of his tools ringing away 'at work, Reason Euough, Benevolent Old Ceutlewuu (reselling one swell boy fr'ow the pumweling of two others)—What are you hurting title .boy for?
