nlal Game
Special to The Hernia,
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.— Mysteries of
the love syndicate were levealed today
by one who has been, closely Identified
with It. .'■/•;
It Is developed that not only has the
galaxy ' of charming "widows" worked
upon the susceptibilities of merchants
such as) James MacClellan and lovesick
counts such as Ignnz Zollnoir, but into
its entanglements were drawn million
aire Wall street men and railroad mag
nates -whose names are known the
country over.
It was Mrs. Izella rirown, the blond
of captivating manner and deep hazel
eyes, who took care of the "big game,"
as the millionaires were called, while
to Mrs. George T. Verrault was left
the suitors of the'Macdellan stripe.
The methods of holding the attention of
these various clients were unique, run
ning the gamut from plain love to
the gambling table and spiritualistic
seances.
Mrs. Brown ran away from Halifax
about twenty years ago with J. P.
Brown, a civil engineer of that place.
They were married .n Brooklyn. Brown
was twenty years his bride's senior.
They lived In New York until about
fifteen years ago, when Brown died.
Then Mrs. Brown went to Bostoti. Soon
queer stories reached the police about
her and Mrs. Brown left town. Be
fore she departed she made the ac
quaintance of Blna Plnnegan, and from
the moment of the meeting they be
came Involved in various transactions
that attracted police attention. They
made a circuit of tho country, touching
Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities.
Then, after a separation, during which
Miss Flnegan was married to George T.
Verrault, they met in New York.
First a Stenographer
Mrs. Brown had several thousand dol
lars of life insurance left by her hus
band, but when she arrived In New
York she was without funds. Her ex
travagant mode of living would' have
dissipated a fortune. With no money,
she secured a position as a cloak model
in an uptown department store and
maintained a small flat on Eighty
second street. j One day she saw an ad
vertisement in a newsapper calling for
a stenographer to a man of wealth.
She answered it and in a few days was
on very good terms with a Wall street
man who has a large family.
Mrs. Brown did not waste her spare
moments, but became acquainted with
a number of other prominent men of
finance. The Wall street man's wife
died and he w. nted Mrs. Brown to
marry him, but she preferred being
free. To win her heart her admirer
sent her to Atlantic City for the sum
mer and Indulged her every whim, but
be failed, to win her for a wife.
from the seaside in 1902
Mrs. Brown installed herself in the
mansion at 114 West Seventy-third
street. She worked the 'personl" col
umns of newspapers to great advantage
from the very start. A Broad street
stock broker was one of the first to call.
He fell violently in love with Mrs.
Brown and wanted to elope with her.
She got much money out c! him, but
did not run away, because there were
other : advertisements being put in the
papers and other, candidates 'were
calling. , . ,
When the love business got too heavy
for Mrs. Brown to handle alone she
sent for Mrs. Verrault, and that ac
commodating young woman promptly
left her husband, then In Baltimore, and
went to the Seventy-third street house.
Then began a rush of business for the
"personal" columns and steady proces
sion of lovelorn men and fortune
hunters to the brow:. -stone front on
Seventy-third street. The answers to
the advertisements were read in cabinet
conclave,- at. which Mrs. Brown pre
sided.
It Was Strictly Business
Mrs. Verrault would generally read
them aloud and a critical discussion
would follow. In many instances photo
graphs were Inclosed in the letters and
these would be carefully scrutinized.
Mrs. Brown did not rely entirely upon
the advice of Mrs. Verrault in the se
lection of the. victims, but had around
her. several young women and a few
mon, most of whom have figured In the
developments of the last few days. One
of these men was an actor connected
with a Broadway stock company. When
the love project began to bring in sub
stantial returns he quit the stage and
took a Job as butler In the household.
. ,Mrs. Brown's pretty daughter, Helen,
donned a maid's outfit and waited on
the table. This young woman is now
married.
.Whenever an'accepted applicant for
love honors would appear at the man
sion he would be wined and dined until
he was dizzy. The Invariable Impres
sion would strike him that the "widow"
had nothing but money. His delusion
would be shaken when he would be told
that Mrs. Brown was very suddenly
hard pressed for funds for the Ken
tucky Coal and Fuel company. This
concern, while it really existed on
paper, was conducted by the galaxy
of "widows" from an office In Wall
street and Its principal work was to
float a few • thousand shares oj stock
that were not worth a cent. The visitor
never failed to respond to Mrs. Brown's
urgent suggestion for money to help
lift the company out of a hole. The
concern lasted long enough to take In
about $50,000. ■
One feature of the Seventy-third
street love plant was a spiritualistic
show conducted by Mrs. Brown's bad
brother, George Mason, and Mrs, Ver
rault. They used to tell the millionaires
all kinds of queer stories that spirits
were telling. All of them had to do
with handing over wads of money.
Tip From Grandmother
"Your grandmother says' to Invest
JIO.OOO In the Kentucky Fuel company."
was a favorite message. -
A Brooklyn brewer gave $10,000 imme
diately after getting the word, and later
came back with several encores. The
spiritualistic, exhibition was a tremen
dous success. MacClellan, Count Zol-
Inoff, Leo Kierler, the Mutual Life in
surance man, und others of what were
regarded as. the "small fry,',' did not
see this feature, : ecause they were only
out for lovemaking. Nobody could in
terest them In ghosts.
The establishment maintained a gam
bling layout and the clink of. chips wan
heard at the roulette wheel or poker
table all night long.

BURBANK FAVORITE
TAKES A VACATION
MISS BLANCHE HALL
Last night marked the farewell ap
pearance of Miss Blanche Hall, who
for the past eighty-elßht weeks has
been leading woman of the Burbank
theater stock, company. Miss Hall has
gone east, where she will visit a short I
time with her sister, Jessie Mac Hall, |
■who will open a starring tour In Phil
adelphia tonight in Harry D. Cottrell's
rural play, "A Southern Vendetta."
Miss Blanche Hall's record for eighty
eight weeks has certainly never before
been equaled by any leading woman in
this portion of the country. During the
was conducted on even a more elaborate
scale.
To keep their beauty from fading,
Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Verrault used to
call in a face specialist. No lines of
care on their faces were ever visible.
Among the most devouted suitors
Mrs. Brown has. had during her stay in
New York was a Missouri Pacific of
ficial. He was about the most liberal
patron of the place and wine would
flow like a Niagara whenever he came
to town.
In Police Court
Mrs. Verrault and Mrs. Brown, richly
attired, went to ■ the. Essex Market
police court yesterday. They sat
patiently until ■a' motley crowd of
prisoners was disposed of. Then they
approached the i.iaglstrate's bench and
Mrs. Verrault told Magistrate Sweetzer
that she wanted a warrant for the ar
rest of her husband on a charge 'of
abandonment. Verrault left her just
before the horsewhipping Incident a
year ago. Magistrate Sweetzer said
that she would have to no to the West
Side court.
As they flounced out of the court
room Mrs. Verrault saw a young man
standing near the door.
"Oh, you scoundrel!" she exclaimed,
advancing with parasol uplifted. ■ . ■ t
The man turned around Just as the
parasol descended on his head. Mrs.
Verrault glared at him and said:
"It serves you right." ,
The stranger stammered and . she
broke in: "Count Zollnoff— a nice mut
you are! The idea of your lying about
me."
"Count nothing," replied the man,
rubbing his head. "I'm Joe Levy, the
, duke of Essex street."
Mrs. Verrault had made a mistake.
She thought the "duke" was one" of the
complainants against her.
"I'm awfully sorry," she said as she
hurried up the street.
I Klesler, the insurance man, who was
one of the matrimonial "come-ons,"
was given a two weeks' vacation by
the Mutual Life yesterday. The vice
president of the company, Robert M*
Clintock, sent ..word that he wanted
Klesler to get out of town in a hurry
and stop getting his name in the
papers. Klesler had not expected his
vacation until September.
WOMAN MAKES A
: STRENUOUS PROTEST
OBJECTS TO CONFIRMATION OF
ASSESSMENT
Isabella Hayes Presents Twelve Rea.
sons to the Board of Public Works
Why Improvements Should Not
Continue on Darwin Avenue
V Isabella A. Hayes, 307 Slchel street,
hus entered a vigorous protest against
the confirmation of the assessment dis
trict for opening Darwin avenue and
has presented an even dozen argu
ments to show the board of public
works why it should not be done.
Her objections to the assessment are
that the opening of the street Is not
a public necessity; it wlU.be of but
slight advantage to any property east
of Avenue Nineteen; the amount of
damages awarded by the board of ref
erees is largely in excess of the value
of the real estate; the actual cash value
does not exceed $5000, whereas $26,091
has been awarded; said appraisement
was not determined by a Jury; refereeß
did not file bond; protestant was not
made a. party to the condemnation pro
ceedings; assessment unequal and un
fair; assessment - was made in an ar
bitrary manner; special assesment
against land of protestant Is wrong,
in her opinion.
The number of the Protestants' ar
guments almost staggered the board of
public works and this body is in doubt
what. course. to pursue In the face of
such strenuoun opposition, although
Isabella Hayes is the only one of a large
number of property owners in the as
sessment district who has made any
formal protest against the improve
ment. , .-,■-.:

association haa completed arrange
ments for the organization of new de

plants are being established and former
ones enlarged that there Is continual
cull for trained men in various indus
trial lines.

extensive Improvements.. Under- his
direction the association will offer
three distinct courses. .The first, a
course In practical steam engineering,
fitting the student for operating engi
neer and to pass the civil service ex
aminations.
The second, modern engine and ma
chine design and engine room practice.
This " course will be open to men in
shops and engine rooms, machinists
and machine erectors having a practi
cal knowledege of other respectlce
lines of employment. Students in both
these courses will be taken on frequent
trips of inspection to the leading power

AMERICAN BRIDE
WON BY MEXICAN
SWEET MUSIC AID TO LOVE
' MAKING
Vaudeville Stunts Tell Audiences of
His Happiness— Sings to Them
the Airs Which Wen Him
Hit Pretty Wife.
Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26. — On a honey
moon Journey which la to extend to
Europe and Mexico and back to this
country, Senor Nevardo T. Eldrado,
Mexican troubadour, and his American
bride, who was Miss Clare Hobllt,
daughter of Judgn James T. Hobllt of
Lincoln, 111., spent yesterday at Plasa
Springs! hotel, Piasa Chautauqua.
When Senor Eldrado appeared for the
first time on the auditorium platform to
thrum his suptemar and sing with Im
passioned vehemence the Spanish love
songs that had won the heart of the
American girl, he took the great audi
ence into his confidence. In English
Just imperfect enough to be piquant
ne told how great was his plensu,re In
appearing because It was In Lincoln,
the home of Manager Paisley, that he
had won his "little American wife."
"And I love her vera much," he added
with an intensity that caused his little
American wife, sitting with Mrs. Pals
ley, to blush prettily and set a-flutter-
Ing the hearts of a few hundred other
women in the auditorium.
Last August Senor Eldrado sang and
played at the Lincoln Chautauqua as a
member of the Mexican trio of eere
naders. Judge Hobllt, one of the
wealthiest and most prominent men of
that section, was in the audience. He
wanted to hear "La Paloma," his favor
ite composition, and sent a note up to
Senor Eldrado, requesting that he give
it. After the concert there was a re
ception, and Judge Hoblit, after thank-
Ing Senor Eldrado for "La Paloma," In
troduced his daughter to the Mexican.
Last winter Miss Hobllt went to New
York to stay«.t the home of her sister
and apply herself to musical composi
tion. Senor Eldrado had a studio there.
They met again and it was not long
until the ardent troubadour was sing
ing serenades to the American girl in
very great earnestness. -
When Miss Hobltt returned to her
home she had promised to be the trou
badour's bride. Senor . Eldrado can
celed a European professional engage
ment to give his' undivided attention
to his love engagement. When he
learned from the letters of his
"chicka" that her father was none too
well disposed toward their romantic
plans he hastened to Lincoln, and, with
all the ardor of his nature, pleaded
with the father for his consent. ' •
The Judge was won, as his daughter
had been won, and he agreed to an
early, marriage. I It took place at the
Hobllt home.

ANTHEM OF LIBERTY
Through dark ages the world
Was prey to fire and sword.
The despot's fiendish glee,
And no human was free.
Brutal strength was the law.
The people had to bow low.
On rushed the scarlet tide,
No stars Illumed the night.
At that stage all humans,
Tossed by storms of war.
Saw like a golden light
Immortal liberty, bright star, bright
star! , .
A new era at its dawn
At last on tho world shown.
Gave all men progress and right,
Brought llgbt out of night.
Chorus
God! O grant thy sons
Liberty and fraternity.
Unite all nations.
Give hope and prosperity.
Throwing aside all war weapons,
AH nations this glorious day
Give thank's to God after the storms
Make a day for posterity.
God! O grant thy sons
Liberty and fraternity,
And forever
Bring peace and love to humanity.

As a Trusty Prisoners and Officials
Like Him, and He Will Fight
■ Hla Way Back Into Good •
Standing
To be. bandied about by a cold and
unfeeling world, to suffer hardship and
abuse In his flght to make a living for
himself and his bride, and then to
finally fall and be arrested and sent
to the county Jail, only to find himself
t*io pet and pride of that In^tltutinn,
such In the experience of title Bobble
McCall, former treasurer of the Or* ml
opera house, who Is now serving a
three months' sentence In the county
Jail on an embezzlement charge.
Robert 8. McCall has had an un
usualy hard time in his few years of
life. The lad has seen scarcely a score
of summers, yet the experiences of a
man have crowded upon him so fast
that his mind fairly swam In his at
tempt to keep up. ♦
He wns finally employed as assistant
treasurer at the Grand opera houee
and was doing remarkably well there
so far na work was concerned, when
his fall and subsequent punishment
came upon him.
A short time ago he married and the
household demands became too great
for his meager salary, and In s.n hour
of need he purloined about $100 from
the company.
He was arrested and a felony embez
zlement charge was placed against him.
But about that time the people of the
nurd, old world who had treated him
bo cruelly began to take an interest
In him. .
Before he was taken to court for
trial interests began to work In his
Ibehnlf and he was allowed to plead
guilty to a misdemeanor embezzlement
charge. Unde those circumstances
Robert McCall is simply guilty of mis
demeanor and' can return to his posi
tion in the society of the world with a
clean record, for thousands of misde
meanors are committed every day by
prominent men of the country and no
disgrace is ever attached to them.
So McCall was spared the blUht of
being called a felon and was saved in
the nick of time from ruin and destruc
tion bound to follow on a felony trlhl.
When McCall entered the doors of the
county jail the world- looked blue 1 to
the young man who had always spent
his life in the open air. -
Made a Trusty
• The boy, for such he is. Is not over
five feet tall and has a mass of curly
golden hair. His big, appealing blue
eyes won htm lnßtant favor with . the
captain of the jail,' and when the first
night came for Bobble to be the guest
of the county he was not sent to the
lower cells, as Is the custom with newly
committed prisoners.
The odor of perspiring Chinese pris
oners awaiting deportation and of
negroes . Is not pleasant in the
lower tanks, and ! McCall began to
wonder at his' fortune when he was
taken to the upper tiers of cells, where
the ventilation Is good and the cells
larger. . , ■
It was but the first of a score of
kindnesses to be shown the youth.
To an occasional visitor at the county
Jail McCall looks more like an officer
of a Jail than like a trusty. He wears
his neat suit of street clothes and sits
in the first corridor -watching the cells.
He is a trusty and one of the best ever
sheltered within the walls of the county
Jail.
According to the statements of the
prison officials, McCall is positively
adored by the other prisoners, who will
tell their troubles to him and receive
Instant sympathy.
He is on duty all during the day, and
is petted by all the officers who have
occasion to visit the bastlle.
■ So the youth's enforced imprisonment
has been made unusually light for him
and his sentence will soon be served.
McCall Is preparing for. a future of
hard work.
Many of his friends have offered him
employment as soon as he is released.
