She told a plausible story of her life in Canada, and accurately described her reputed father. \ Inspector Thorne sent hsr with a policeman.(o the office of the society for the prevention of cruelty to children, at Twentythird street and Fourth avenue. There she was received, and a promise wus given that she would be oarqd for and put in the way of earning her living. Superintendent Jenkins investigated her case, and when he greeted her yesterday he taxed her gently with having told a falsehood on the night before.

Wampolo A Co., 418 Markot street, Philadflphia."Mr. Watterson's bill for th# cutting off of country papers from the use of city dailies until they are twenty-four hours old is in reality William Henry Smith's bill. William Henry Smith is the manager of tha Associated Press,and,though by no means devoid® the assurance which is sometimes aptly described us gall, Mr. Smith's native cunning exceeds the impudence ho has acquired as tiie manager of a would-be monopoly. The very sublimity of che *k would be necessary on the part of this Smith to prefer any request whatever to a Democratic house of representatives. Coming in his own proper shape ho wou'd be permitted to cool his hoels in an ante room it he were not ootuaily assisted down the marble stairway. But Mr. Smith puts forward Mr. Watterson to pull the chestnuts out of the fine, and offers a bill the ultimate purposo of which is to place in the hands of Smith aforesaid the gathering and distribution of all the news in the country, compelling country papers either to suspend operations or to deal with Smith at Smith's own terms. On bis return ho said he had obtained a dlvprce. The fact was never disputed. He subsequently married Misi Lavinia Walker, of Port Jervis. The first wife also married again, and is now living with her second husband in Sussex county. She has several children. She that the divorce obtained by Bevans from her was not valid, and sets up the claim that she is his legal widow and entitled to such portion of his estate as the law guarantees to h?r as a widow, regardless of the will. If her claim is sustained the decision will make her children illegitimate. To make her children legitimate she was married over to Rundlo, her second husband, on Saturday. She claims that Bevans" divorco from her was void, and, consequently, she could not legally marry Rund!e until Bevans1 death.
