No Rink this year Cobourg Decides Cobourg, Sept. 24.--The res- ponse to the canvass made for funds to finance the proposed ar- tificial ice arena at Cobourr was disappointing, and the committee in charge has definitely decided that the objective cannot be reached at the present time.

The sudden appearance of the women, who were reported play- ing without appearing to give any thought to the game, and a coincident rage among regular players for lucky stones, scarabs, and dubious mystics, was said to have caused such consternation that the Ministry of Interior prob- ably would be compelled to in- vestigate the entire situation. Ong of the strongest complaints was made to M. Baudoin, direc- tor of one of the Nice casinos, He was informed by several players and by members of a profession al gambling syndicate. of the strange luck of the women, The complaints were to the effect that someone like the fictitious Bven- gall, hypnotic master of Trilby, was sitting behind the scenes and controlling them in an effort to break the bank. The women players were de- scribed as apparently '"impres- sionable" types who might easily be influenced hy hypnotism. They appeared, fashionably dressed, at the baccarat tables in Nice and Juan-les-Pihs, playing somewhat as if they were going through a ritual, They had a luck. Their winnings were es- timated to average around 80,000 francs (about $2,200) each night, but they never overplayed their | luck. Some of the witnesses were of the opinion that the women did not know where they were, and it wag remarked that after winning a certaih amount they invariably rose without delay and left the tables. It also was observed that they departed in expensive auto- mobiles. As an indication of the belief in the hypnotic "system," it was pointed out that the actress, Dol- ly Davis, submitted to a test which enabled her to win several thousand franes at Nice. She permitted herself to be hypnotiz- ed, although she was skeptical, and played without knowing just what she did, according to her story. She gaiq it was all "much like a dream." Miss Phyllis Woodcock, inter- nationally known society woman, has won 300,000 francs on the tip of an Egyptian astrologer, and Mies Alico Morris, of Cincinnati, was reported to have won 59,000 francs after visiting a fakir who has been practicing recently at Juan-les-Pins, Divorced Man Prefers Death To Life Without Former Wife Chicago. -- Katherine Carque- ville Stevens Lecherq found her- self faced by a tangled romance which, having once narrowly avoided tragedy, was still charg- ed with dramatic indicents. For her divorced husband, George M. Stevens, Jr., who tried to take his life, was quoted as saying he would geek death again unless she returned to him. The threat wag attributed to him by Mrs. Alexander Carqueville, mo- ther of the former wife. The situation was all the more complicated because both were remarried. Mrs. Stevens, heir- ess to the Thomas Jeffery auto- mobile fortune, interrupted her honeymoon with Robert Lee lL.echerq at Buffalo to" hurry to Stevens' bedside when she heard he had attempted suicide. And Stevens, himself, was married to another woman, of whom very little was known excepting' that she is 32 years old, and comes from Kansas City.

Beside the lodge there was a small building in the rear. In front was the band stand and the Rockingham Barracks near the shore of the Basin. The library was a separate building on a line with the residence and south of | it. A building marked Smith's house was in front near the main road and along to the north, The coach and square houses were on a line with the Smith house but further north, The Chinese tem- ple was neat the brook and south of the library bullding. 'I'nere was a small building in the rear | between the main building and the library. The garden house was on the border of the lake at the east end and the duck house on the west end.

Gore and wife conveyed the pro- pity in 1879 to the following: Henry N. Paint, William (. Moir, William H. Neal, Will D. O'Brien and Thomas' Durney. The prop erty later passed through other Lands. fairs were recounted by Mrs. Car- queville, Describing Mrs. Lecherq's visit to Stevens' bedside, Mrs. Carque- ville said: "Kay went to the hos- pital to tell George the truth, She felt that George had suffici- ently recovered to be told that she would not return to him-- that she is happy with Mr, Le- cherq George then said he would attempt to kill himself as goon as he gets out of the hospi- tal, He said His own present marriage was simply an attempt to forget Kay." The superintendent of the hos- pital, Miss Lena Johnson, said Stevens was "almost hopelessly discouraged." "He feels," she continued, "that he has ruined his own life, and that of his former wife, her present husband, his second wite, his father, and the entire Cara- queville family. His présent wife loves him, yet ghe said she will not stand in the way of his hap- piness."
