Mrs. Cornelia Whitney, formerly a fashionable Back Bay dressmaker, has brought suit against George A. Brown, a prominent Everett, lawyer and politician, for $30,000 for marry. Brown Formerly lived in Fellows in Falls, the where he was more or public eye. The allegation filed by Mrs.

Whitney's lawyer, Wendall P. Murray, contains four counts. The first alleges that Brown agreed to marry her and broke his promise; the second that, although Brown was married when Mrs. Whitney first met him, 10 years ago and had been a married man all their acquaintance, he falsely represented to her that he had obtained a divorce and postponed their marriage with one excuse and another until she learned that 'he WAS married. The third allegation is, that Brown induced her to give up a profitable dressmaking business, and the fourth is seduction under promise to marry.

The trial of Mr. Brown's suit last April against Mrs. Whitney to recover $375 attracted much attention. A verdict for Mrs. Whitney resulted and her claim that the money was not loaned her, but was given to her because of their relationship of love, confidence, and affection, seemed to be borne out by a letter introduced by her lawyer and written to her by Mr.

Brown, in which he signed himself "Donkey." Mrs. Whitney, who lives at 167 St. Botolph has been twice married. Her first husband died and she was divorced from her second husband and resumed her first husband's name, WOMAN' IN BAD CONDITION Restored To Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's ble Compound.

Greene, formerly editor of The St. Albans Messenger, was the principal speaker. He gave many reminiscences and said that he wished the Vermont press would discuss national subjets more instead of state subjects. Arthur P. Howard, the new editor of The Advance, also responded to a toast, and said he was well pleased with his reception in Vermont.

If you asked any man, said Mr. Howard, about another, the answer would be, "He's a first class man, but he wants to be governor." Mr. Howard said he was one of the few who did not want to be governor, because he had been here only seven weeks and the law required a residence of seven years. "Thank God, there's one less," said Mr. Howe in the course of his rethe close of Mr.

Howard's remarks. Mr. Howe said more Vermont money should be loaned at home instead of outside the state. Individuals have taken $4,000,000 in new farm mortgages outside the state during the past year, but the banks have not increased their farm mortgage loans. He said that loaning more at home would help develop our state.

Johnsbury Caledonian, responded to the toast to "The Ladies," speaking especially of the work of the newspaper women of Vermont. The program also included, the reading of an excellent original French dialect poem by Donald Tobin, editor of The Swanton Courier. Special entertainers were Frank French, of St. Johnsbury, with songs, James P. Thrasher, of Natick, with dialect recitations.

Lime Starvation Causes Tuberculosis The Medical Record (New York) of December 18, 1909, contains an article on "The Treatment of Pulmonary Based on the Assumption That the Dietetie Cause, of the Disease in Lime Starvation," by Dr. John F.

Russell, who "The condition which is recognized aN preceding the active development of tuberculosis in the adult may be considered as due to lime starvation. Among inorganic substances lime salts appear to be of special physiological importance but if the salts are not in organic combination it is difficult to suppose that the cella can appropriate them for food." Years of widespread use confirm us in the belief that the success of Eckman's Alterative in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis (consumption) and chronic throat a and bronchial troubles is due in large measure to its content of lime, so combined with other ingredients as to be easily appropriated by the cells. Doubtless this has had much to do with the results obtained in many cases of these affections, which appear to have yieldsd to Eckman's Alterative. As it contains no opiates, narcotics or habit-forming drugs, it is safe try. Your druggist will order it for you or you can send direct.

D. Irvine Interviewed at Rutland on Work at Bay Shore, L. 1. Rutland, Aug. Bay Shore, L.

I. dispatch says: The Rev. D. D. Irvine, pastor of the First Methodist church, who for some time has been conducting a crusade against cabaret formances in this exclusive resort and who is good naturedly called "Clerical Sherlock and the "Methodist Charlie has gone to Rutland, where he is to pass his vacation.

Because of this William S. Johnson proprietor of the Johnson house is breathing easier, though it is said that Pastor Irvine stopped on his way to Vermont at Albany, where he held a conference with the state excise officials. Landlord Johnson, who has made a truce with Mr. Irvine that he would not hire any more women for his caberet performances, says the Bay shore story, declares that his truce with the clergyman is off and that he does not believe the latter will be able to influence the state excise board against him or his license. Meantime Bay Shore resorters are waiting for new developments and believe that something will drop soon, even though the crusading pastor is taking his ease among the hills of Vermont.

The Rev. David D. Irvine, of Bay Shore L. who with his family arrived in this city to pass a month's vacation unfolded in some detail to a Herald reporter the story of his crusade against the "female cabaret" performances in the aristocratic Long Island resort, which has been under way for some time. Mr.

Irvine will occupy the parsonage and pulpit of the Methodist church in this city during the absence of the Rev. J. B. Horton. In reference to his future crusading plans would say nothing as he stated that he did not desire to be placed any more than was necessary in the limelight of the journalistic world.

"The story', said he, "of my fight against the cabaret vice is well known in every city of the country. Reporters have constantly waylaid me and although I have made very few stateto them, my self- enforced detective work has been heralded broadcast. "My he continued, "were to do away with the restless spirit and late hours caused by these open cabarets in which women singers played $3 important a part. I was also influenced by the fact that these houses brought many undesirable transients into our little community." Mr. Irvine went on to tell of his experiences.

It seems that Bay Shore harbored two licensed cabarets much. to the disgust of the more respectable inhabitants. Hearing indirectly that in those places liquor was sold, and forbidden hours indulged in, Mr. Irvine, by using several disguises (16 number, the various newspapers stated) discovered for himself the true condition of affairs. Following this he wrote.

a sermon--thrilling in detail-every fact of which he had verified from actual experience. Calling the managers of the two resorts to his study, Mr. Irvine blandly informed them that he would preach this sermon the following Sunday unless they agreed to discontinue their illegal practices. The managers signed an agreement and closed. their cabarets, he in return being only required to say nothing to the press that would injure the sale of their places.

In manner, unknown to the clergyman, the story leaked out. sev. eral of the city newspapers printing exaggerated Recounts of the affair with glaring head lines. Thereupon' William S. Johnson, one of the proprietors, promptly broke his agreement and reopane! his cabaret.

The report was prevalent in Bay Shore that Mr. Irvine would stop in Albany on his way to Vermont the next day and lay the matter before the state excise department. The same day there was a meeting of the local saloon keepers, Mr. Irvine being their invited guest. A committee comprising six saloon keepers was appointed to lay a complaint against Johnson before the state's attorney.

Just how everything will be settled is a matter of doubt as Mr. Irvine dislikes notoriety and is diffident about giving information. He stated that no less than four city papers had called him since his arrival here, asking if he had pressed matters in Albany.
