The Exeter Advocate, 1891-11-5, Page 3TOLD BY PERSONALS, The Pathetic Tale Or a Domeetic Quarrel Told la Little Ads, 4' GEOBC " APPEAL TO " .15111LIE." (From Buffalo Sunday News.) WNW YORK', Oct. 17. --During the past Len days a eerie e of peculiar personal adver- tisements bas appeared in the frorld ad- dressed to "Julie" and signed "George." The first appeared on October 7th. It was this: JVLIE-The uncertainty of where you inay be is breaking our hearts; come hack to a better home and husband. Geo. George evidently feared thet this appeal would not be strong enough, for he inserted another in the same edition of the World: JUITE-Do not believe malicious falsehoods. I said whet was not so, and can prove it to your satisfaction ; do not break up our home, but come back to the babies and me. Geo. Mother was gone and the little babes were crying for her. George couldn't soothe them. They wanted a mother's caresses to quiet them and a mother's soft voice to sing them to sleep. But Julie didn't return. Perhaps she never read how badly George and the babies wanted her. Twenty-four hours passed; then George hurried to the World office and ordered the personals republished with this additional one: JU1,1E-George will be ruined unless you re- turn; he has had to close business, as all property is in your namo. Alfred. Notes are coming due which cannot be paid. There is money in the bank; there are houses and lots, but George cannot touch a penny, because it is all in his wife's -name. Oct 9 George inserted these two new per- sonals in the World: LTTILIE-The uncertainty of where you are is breaking my heart; can endure no longer; baby calls continually for you; eonie back to a repentanthusband and your neglected babies; letter at New Yark Postofilee, general deliv- e17- G. JITLIE-I told you untruths; ean say no more; am in despair; I am awake at last and find the world a blank without you; come back and the future shall be as the first years of our married life. GEORGE. George's father also takes a hand. He does not want to see George a bankrupt, so "he inserts this stern personal, which he thinks will bring Julie home : TULIE-George has obligations to meet that necessitate your signature at once. Doyou wish to ruin him financially and destroy chil- dren's support 1 All property and securities are in your name Father-in-law. But if Julie could withstand the piteous appeal of George and the motherless babies, the stern command of a father-in-law would not move her. On Oct. 10 George inserted no personals. He went to his wife's family and friends. They gave him no hope. He telegraphed to distant relatives, but their 'replies brought no relief. When he re- turned home the babiem were crying. The next morning the World contained the fol - ]owing: JITLIE-Do not believe those malicious false- hoods; 1 said what was not so and can prove it to your satisfaction: do not break up our home, but come back to babies and inc; am in despair and fear for my reason; do not let me plead in vain, but communicate with ; send for letter at New York Postoffiee, general delivery. Geo. TULIE-I am alone with our babies; come *I and help me ; we have both suffered; noth- ing is known as yet. Geo. But Julie does not answer. Friends _sympathize with him, but George grows snore despondent. He tries to end his life with his revolver, but his aim is not sure and the bullet is imbedded inthe ceiling. lie cannot work, he can only wander about the streets looking for Julie. His clerks are discharged and his office doors locked the greater part of the time. He abandons the newspapers for a day or two and watches the woman's general delivery window at the New York Post -office. He told his troubles to Postmaster Van Cott, who gave the mate -In -nen orders not to interfere with him. But no letter from Julie. Newspaper re- porters are looking for George, but he employs men to watch the general delivery window and carry his advertisements to papers. Hundreds of dollars were spent, but George only threw his money away. Yesterday the World contained the follow- ing ULIE-Send for letter to -day. JULIE -Millie and I are alone with the chil- dren ; cannot stand it much longer. Call for letter at General Delivery, New York Post - office. Here is the story. It is commonplace enough until the denouement is reached of the bitterness of which the public has been able to judge by the pitiful newspaper ap- peals. as. 71, 73 and 75 Jackson avenue, Long Island City, is a handsome five -story brick structure owned by Roswell P. Flower's soft - in -law. The ground floor offices at 75 are occupied by Real Estate Dealer George E. Payne. The offices are the handsomest in the building, and Mr. Payee employs four clerks. He is the agent for a large portion ef Mr. Flower's real estate on Long Island and has a well-established business. The income from his per centson rentals alone amounts to $300 each month. Besides this Mr. Payne is the most prominent insurance agent in Long Island City, and speculates heavily in real estate. ' The latter investments have proved suc- cessful and Mr. Payne, although only 30 years old, is considered one of the wealthy business men of the city. He is popular, too, and came very close to being nominated for member of Assembly on the Democratic ticket last fall. He was defeated by James McKenna. Besides this, Mr. Payne is an athlete and has a score of , medals and cups heavon as a sprinter several ;years ago. 'Seven years ago he married Julie Bethert, the daughter of a wealthy Long Islander. Mrs. Payne proved to be a thorough -going business woman, and to show his confidence its ber Mr. Payne made her his treasurer. All the deeds to his real estate were made out in her name, and even the bank de, posits were credited to her. The Paynes own an elegant three-story brown stone louse at 259 Nott avenue, besides several other parcels of real estate. They keep a horse and carriage and live in gond style. They have two girls, one four and the other one year old. Mr. Pane's bueiness keeps him Away from home quite freqnently until late at night. His wife complained of neglect and finally told her husband that it was not business, but felnale society that kept him away so much. On Oct. ' 5th Mr. Payne returned home about 10 o'clock at night. One word led to another in the conversation that followed, until Mrs. Payne accused her hushand of neglect and not loving her. Ile retorted, hotly: " Have it so if you wish." "If it were it for our children I would leave you' " exclaimed Mrs, Payne. "1 willtake care of them" answered the husband. "All right. I will go away so far you will nova see Inc." "1 would make her life so happy she would not leave. It was all my,fault in answering her so roughly as I did. Finally George sent a letter to the General Delivery Peeteffeco in this city for his wifes and advertised to that effect in the Werld- He went to PoatmaSterVanGott and readily obtaleed permission to stand near the gen^ eral delivery window. From early in the Montag until late at night he watched. Re employed a detective to trace his wife's flight, All that the deteetive could aticer- tam was that Mrs. Payne went to the Savings bank in Greenwood where she kept a small deposit and drew $100. She left $L15 in the bank, There were several thouea.nd dollars to her credit in the other banks'but she did not touch the money. All the real estate and bank deposits' are in 1?ayne's wife's name, and he cannot touch a dollar. Elis busineas necessitates the else of collateral security, and now he finds he has nearly $4,000 in notes to pay without any money to pay them. The day before his wife left he deposited $2,000 in the bank, but this, of course, he canuot touch, as it is deposited in his wife's name. The financial paa t of the matter George cares but little about,. He has lost his wife. His father, A. '1'. Payne, a prominent lawyer of Long Island City, takes a (liar- ent view of the matter. He hates to see his son become a bankrupt, a thing whieh seems inevitable, unless Julie returns, or help comes from some quarter. Mr. Flower, who has great confidence in Mr. Payne, was informed of the circumstances, and promptly sent word to him that he fully sympathized with him. ' A strange featere of the case is the secrecy with which the affair has beeti kept. Not even Payne's next door neighbors know that Mrs. Payne has ran away. They think that she is on a visit to the country. There were four clerks in the real estate office a few weeks ago. Yesterday there was but one. Payne himself does not go near the office. "I shall continue my search for my wife until I find her," he said to a World re- porter. The reporter called at the Payne resi- dence yesterday afternoon. The interior of the house is elegantly furnished. The two little girls were there. "1 want my mamma," the elder one said. Mrs. Payne is described as tall and stout, with dark hair and eyes. The Paynes do not believe she has committed suicide, but are inclined to think she has gone into ervice in some family in the suburbsof New York. TME BEST JOKE. ax O'Rell Brought Joy to a Pittsburg Swain's Heart. Max O'Rell tells this joke in his new book, "A Frenchman in America": As I was leaving Pittsburg I was ap- proached by a young man who, after giving me his card thanked me most earnestly for my lecture of last night. In fact, he nearly embraced me. "1 never enjoyed myself so much in my life," he said. I grasped his hand. " I am glad," I replied, "that my hmxible effort pleased you so Much. Nothing is more gratifying to a lecturer than to know he has afforded pleasure to his audience." "Yes," he saki, "it gave me immense pleasure. You see'I am engaged to be married to a girl in town. All her family went to your show, and I had the girl at home all to myself. Oh, I had such a good time ! Thank you so much ! Do lecture here again soon." And, after wishing me a pleasant journey, he left me. I was glad to know I left at least one friend and admirer behind me in Pittsburg. A Mistory Behind Three Lines. St. Catharines Standard: A three line item in yesterday's issue of the Standard had hidden beneath it a story which is seldom met with in real life. The item read : Miss Galt, danghter of Judge Galt, conducted the meeting of the Salvation Army here yester- day afternoon. That is all it said, yet it might havegiven the lady's history in columns. She is the daughter of Chief Justice Sir Thomas Galt, and was reared and educated like any other young lady of her station. She is still young, 26 or 27, handsome and refined. Several years ago, while othergirlsofher age were still thinking of balls and parties she decided to give herself up to the Master. She at once acted on that decision and entered the ranks of the Salvation Army as a soldier. All she had she gave to the work andin the service she had enterell she labored and lived as those more humbly born. She was sent to Montreal, and during the cold winter following, her conversion, she, who had been raised in luxury, lived in a fireless uncarpeted room, cheered only by the grand work she was doing. And ever since she has lived and worked as she began, deadly in earnest in the work of Him whose call she answered. Arrested in. Oshawa. William Duplex and Joseph Maroney, two of Gurney's moulders, were found guilty of intimidating their fellow -workmen in May, 1890. Duplex and Maroney ran across one of the jurymen while they were out on bail awaiting sentence. The juryman, whose name is John Henry, was thrashed soundly. The affair took place at the corner of Sim- coe and Adelaide streets. Maroney was arrested and sentenced to eighteen mouths in the Central Prison, but Duplex escaped. He was arrested yesterday in Oshawa, where his wife lives, and last; night Detective Alf. Cuddy brought him back to this city, and locked him tip in No. 1 Police station for the night. -Toronto Mail. something toga A Maine man, notorious for his "near - nese," lately went into a meat shop and in- quired the price of a certain soup, bone. The proprietor of the shop is a generous fellow, and in answer to the old man's ques- tion he said : "Oh, Ill give you that." The customer put his hand to his ear. .He is hard of hearing and had missed the reply. "Can't you take something off of that 2" he asked. The dealer took pity on him. "Yes," he oeiti, call it ten cents." And the old man went home with a comfortable sense of having driven a geed trade. -Ken- nebec journal.

R The reasons given by the statist ician for the decreases in the 21 counties in Ontario, which aggregate 42,800 since last census, are : 1. The difference in the mode of cope t- ingthe people. 2. The movement of popu- lation along the lines observed in every civilized country, viz, (a) westward to the virgin soil, and (b) from the rural parts to the cities and towns. 3. The introduction of agricultural machinery, doing away to certain extent with hired help. 4. The denudation of the forest covering. 5. The opening. of new territory by railways. 6. The development of mining industry. Salt the Best Moth -Killer. For moths salt is the best exterminator.

BONUS AL OB ONE. (Kingston Daily Nom) S111, -I desire in this lett& to considee the bonusing question' mainly in so far as it atte,tet the relatione ofthe towns and cities ' one another, and thereby the general busiaess of the country. No doubt many who might be prepared to admit the truth of the general position taken in the last letter, would still find a practical difficulty with regard to refusingla, bonus to an industry which is quite cepttele a supporting itself, and is thus valeable to the city. No doubt," it might be saki, " this industry is quite capable of paying its own way, and in a properly reguleted condition of things, should not be allowed to draw an extra profit from the civic purse. But for the very reason thatitisabletopay its own way it is a desira- ble industry, and if we do not bonus it, some other town or city will, and it will be lost to us." Now there is a core of truth in this difficulty, and the civic corporations which act upon it are uot without a show of reason. But, when we look into the present effects and future tendency of such action, we find a 'condition of affairs which is demoralizing, on the one hand the muni- cipal finances of Ontario (to go no further), and on the other the manufacturing indus- tries of the Province. The present system of peddling industries up and down the country in order to getthe civic corporations to bid against one another, when once introduced and recog- nized, as we must acknowledge it to be, has no necessary or logical limit short of securing a bonus to every new industry that starts in the country. Moreover. it nuist lead to the granting of such an amount a bonus as will almost cover the whole value of the industry to the corporation. So long as there is a margin of advantage left the corporation will consider it to its interest to pay part of that margin in order to secure the rest. Now it does not involve a very heavy drain en any one's reasoning power to see that the principle is destructive of the very foundations of society. The economic relations of society are not its only relations.It is not pretended that the money, which is paid for aaticles in exchange, is the true measure of their importance to the individual or society. Yet it is their commercial value ouly which can be justly demanded or granted on economic grounds. It would be an easy /natter for the bakers and butchers of this city to prove that their goods are of much more benefit th the citizens than the money which they receive in exchange for them indicates. Such being the case, they might demand that, in addition to the money which they receive in exchange for their goods, they should receive a bonus from the city funds, seeing that without their goods the citizens would perish. But every one who renders a useful or necessary service to the community is in a similar position. The acknowledgment of such claims would mean the making of civic life impossible. No attempt is made to deny the value and importance to a town or city of manufacturing establishments. But to make this a basis of bonus -granting, and especially of civic competition for indus- tries, is fatal to the very grounds of civic life. Observe further the unnaturaleffect which this civic competition has upon the loca- tion Of industries. One of the most imports ant considerations in the starting of a new industry, which may expect, to be self- sustaining and a benefit to the country, should be the natural fitness of the place in which it locates for the making of the arti- cles to be produced. Under the civic com- petition which bonusing produces, local fitness or unfitness becomes a matter of secondary importance, and industries are frequently planted in places where they have no natural or economic right to be. The subsequent killing out of these by industries mere naturally situated involves the disturbing conditions of over- production or the final loss to thecountry of the misdirected capital. Nothing at present leads to so great a waste of the country's re- sources, both civic and private, as competi- tive bonusing; and all forms of bonusing lead to this. So soon as the basis of pro- duction passes from the want of the people for the goods to the want of the municipali- ties for the industry, economy is thrown to the winds and there result over -production, disturbance of the labor market, the lock- ing up of capital in unproductive forms, the alternate inflation and depression of real estate values, and, in fact, a general dis- turbance and insecurity of values which im- mensely retards the natural progress of the country. Observe, too how this system of bonusing discounts the Lure at a ruinous rate and leads to the perpetuation of its own evils. As I have already pointed out, every bonus, exemption, adds to the rates of the tax- be done rightly and well. whether in direct money grant or tax paying citizens. But it would also add to the normal rate of any other industry fieek- ing to establish itself without the aid of a bonus ; hence very few industries will be willing to establish themselves in this way. When they ask for a bonus, therefore, what can the authorities say? To refuse it is virtually to say to the promoters of an in- dustry: "We will not only not give you a, direct subsidy out of the city funds, nor grant you exemption from taxation, but we will even make' you help to pay for the subsidies given and the exemptions granted in the past." Is that sort of treatment likely to attraetprofitable and self-sustaining industries, or is it likely to encourage those whieh are already established to extend their borders and increase their taxable prImight continue continue to develop the detals of the bonusing evil in ith general effects on the country, but surely what I have already pointed out will convince those open to con- viction that even though we may seem to be losing by the refusal to grant bonuses in any shape, it is at most but our share of loss due to the prevalence of this evil fix the country, and does not give us any claim to increase it by our action. Further, by abandoning this system we shall put our- selves in a reasonable position for the recep- tion in the future of good, sound industries which are able and willing to bear their own proper share in the general expenses of the city, and we shall be placing no obsta- cles in the way of the normal expansion of such self-supporting iudustries as we have. -Yours truly, AnAst SlIonTr. ummommixsmoisommim • • eeee,aeeesse \•• e, aeaSseesaiSe for infants and Children.

The Milroy lectures this year were on the neauralhistory and prevalence of diphtheria The lecturer gave it as his opinion that soil and geologieal formation have something to do with its prevalence ; that it is especially common in damp valleys, and that in Eng- land it is most prevalent during the three last months of the year. The greatest number of the persoes at- tacked are between 2 and 12 years cif age, and the liabdity is greatest between 2 and 5 years. Many ettacks of diphtheria are Accom- panied by simple sore throat and tonsilitis, and many apparently simple attacks of sore throat have Teeny an infectious character. The same fact has been notecl on this side of the Atlantic. Some physicians look on diphtheria and scarlet fever as modifications of the same disease, and the occurrence of both at the same time in the same family seems at first sight to countenance this view. But the theory is disproved by the entire absence of diphtheria in several thousand cases of scarlet fever treated in the London fever hospital. The probable explanation of the occur- rence of both in the same family is that the condition of the throat in a family affected by scarlatina affords a soil favorable for the reception of the diphtheritic poison. When diphtheria does occur in connection with scarlatina, it is almost always as a sequel to it. So, too, the sore throats due to bad hygienic surroundings and imperfect drainage furnish excellent soil for diph- theritic microbes. Many eases of diphtheria end unexpect- edly in fatal heart failure, sometimes when the patient has seemed in a, fair way to recovery. In such cases a post-mortem examination reveals a fatty and granular degeneration of the muscular fibres of the heart. This fact emphasizes the need of prompt treatment to secure the speediest possible recovery. It follows, too, that in all cases, until complete recovery, everything should be avoided wheat makes demands on the heart, a very slight effort being often fatal; and that the physician should always make a careful exainination of the heart, and ad- vise accordingly.-- Youth's Companion.

Ocean is yellAri 2d. The Necessity The human race as a whole is in great need of a good blood purifier. There are about 2400 disorders incident to the human frame, the large majority arising from the impure or poisonous condition of the blood. Very few in- dividuals enjoy perfect health, and fewer still have perfectly pure blood. Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity, has been inherited by generation after generation, and manifests itself today virulent and virtually unchanged from its ancient forms. If we -are so fortu- nate as to eacape hereditary impurities in the blood, we may contract disease from germs in the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the water we drink. 3d.

This pretty little city is greatly excited over the work of some unknow a rascal who catchei -women on the streets and hugs and kisses them. Nearly every night women walking alone or in couples in the less frequented parts of the city are assailed by the man. Every one is talking about the man, who is now known as "Jack, the Squeezer." Fie never operates twice in the same locality, and none of the plans to entrap hire have been successful. He wears no mask, and never speaks when he catches a woman. He is a large man, with whiskers,and that is all known of him, -Pomona (Gal.) Special in St. Louis Globe -Democrat. The Matrimonial Lottery. New York Harald: At last we have some data which will prove interesting to the ladies. We can't vouch for them with un- qualified confidence because we haven't been able to verify them, but we have do doubt that they are about as near to the exact truth as it is possible to get. Taking 100 as representing all the chances which a woman will ever have to get married, we are glad to see that they are distributed in a very encouraging and inspiring way through - 'out her life, but of course they naturally diminish as the years come creeping on. Between fifteen and twenty -so says our statistician -she has fourteen and one-half of the 100 chances to dispose of herself. It will be seen, therefore, that she toys with the matrimonial lottery busieess very early in life, or before she has fairly cut hcr wisdom teeth. Between twenty and twenty-five, however, she breaks more hearts and turns her back on more proposals than at any other time. She has during these years fifty-two chances out of her hundred to trample on a man's affections and make him feel like swallow- ing Paris green. Between twenty-five and thirty she is gilded with the twilight glow, and hag only about 18 per ceut. of all her chances, and between thirty a,ncl thirty-five the chances take a tumble to 15.e per cent. From that time on there is very little left except regretful memories of past oppor- tunitiee which have been lost. The per- centage falls to 3e; at forty, to q at forty- five, and then, with the speed of S. toboggan slide, it descends to one-quarter of ono chance at fifty-five.
