BORROWED $12,000,000
Woman Works the Paris Bankers and
Gives No Security.
Now York, May 20.—While the newspa
pers of Paris have published exhaustive
details of the extraordinary mystification
of the Humbert case, by which a woman
secured loans and advances of about $12,
000,000 with practically no security, very
little attention has been given to the fact
that a large sum was secured in London,
says a Herald dispatch from that city.
One loan of $200,000 is now said to have
been obtained from financial institutions
and individuals in this city. The woman
in t'n * case is said also to have raised
$400,000 on a portion of her jewels, and a
well-known firm of pawnbrokers ad
vanced $125,000 on other jewels. She se
cured, besides. It is alleged, a large sum
from a group of underwriters here who
were so convinced that her story was
true that they advanced money to pay a
number of debts, receiving notes bearing
a high rate of interest in return.
The notes fell due on December 1. They
were not paid, and the woman's solicitors
gave as the cause that litigation was still
proceeding and asked that the notes be
extended three months.
A feeling of distrust entered the minds
of the lenders and the Interest was
promptly paid. Under promises of 20 per
cent more for the next three months and
also a bonus of $400,000, twice the total
amount of the loan, when the estate was
settled, the notes were renewed. Wh»n
th« y finally became due, on March 1. and
payment was not' forthcoming, the Lon
don onnkers became alarmed and were
instrum* ntal In pricking the bubble.
FIRE IN HOSPITAL
Caused Wild Excitement Among the
2500 Patients—Hard to Restrain.
New York. May 20.—A fire at the New
Jersey State Hospital for the Insane, at
Morris Plains, has caused wild excitement
among the 2500 patients. The guards were
only able to restrain them by the most
vigorous effort^.
As soon as the flames were discovered
most of the guards and the attendants
were sent to the various wards to get
the patients out. None of the violently
“NO FRILLS.”
Just Sensible Food Cured Him.
Sometimes a good, healthy commercial
traveler suffers from poorly-selected food
and Is lucky if he knows that Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food will put him right.
A Cincinnati traveler, John N. Care.
Jr., says: "About a year ago my stomach
got In a had way. 1 had a headache most
"f the time and suffered misery. For sev
eral months I ran down until I lost
i about 70 pounds In weight, and finally
| had to give up a good position and go
l home. Any food that 1 might use seemed
to nauseate me.
"My wife hardly knew what to do, until
one da> she brought home a package of
Grape-Nuts and coaxed me to try them.
I told her It was no use, but finally, to
humor her. I tried a little, and they just
struck my taste. It was the first food
that I had eaten in nearly a year that
did not cause any suffering.
"Well, to make a long story short. T be
gan to Improve, and stuck to Grape-Nuts.
1 went up from 135 pounds on December
24, 1900, to 194 pounds on October 5. 1901.
"My brain Is clear, blood all right and
appetite too much for any man’s pocket
book. In fact, I am thoroughly made
over, and owe It all to Grape-Nuts. I
talk so much about what Grape-Nuts will
do that some of the men on the road
have nick-named me ‘Grape-Nuts.’ but I
stand today a healthy, rosy-cheeked man,
a pretty good example of what the right
kind of food will do.
"You can publish this If you want to. It
Is a true statement without any frills.”
insane or criminals were In the threaten
ed building, but the alarm of fire caused
even those whose minds were but slight
ly unbalanced to become frantic with ter
ror.
In some of the wards furtherest from
the fire a few patients who could be
trusted were left. The others Were march
ed from the building.
Although they were greatly frightened,
a few soothing words from the guards
padded them, and there was little trou
ble until all were assembled In the yard.
There again they became panic-stricken,
and many tried to break through the thin
line of guards. The women became more
frightened than the men, and several
times they led the dashes for freedom.
Had there been any concerted movement
the whole 2500 would have escaped.
Groups of twenty or thirty would make
a sudden rush towards the guards and
the latter would have hard work In get
ting them hack into the crowds with the
others. This would work the others up
Into a frenzy and another group would
charge to another part of the line, hut
be driven back. Men and women used
their fists generally and several of the
guards word bruised by the struggling
mob. As far as could be learned, how
ever, none escaped.

Says He Is Not Going to Europe to
Attend the Coronation.

General Joseph Wheeler writes to a
friend here that the published report
that he is going to England to attend
