All thu Money Her Latest Victim CUM Upon llur. SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 30. The news that Nettle Neustctter , or Ncustadter , as she spelled her name here , wns a San Francisco woman , had greatly aroused the Interest In Mr. Vamlerbllt s love affairs. Slio Is a native of Eureka , Nov. ; was educated at Miles seminary , Alameda county ; resided for a number of years In San Francisco , and has frequently figured In escapades that have won her notoriety both In the now and old worlds. She was born 29 or SO years ago In KureUa , where her father , Ben Cohen , kept a clothing store and became -wealthy. She re turned to Eureka from the seminary when she was 18 years old , and was tha belle of the town. Pretty , witty , graceful und vl- \acious , she possessed all the requisites for the breaking of hearts. The people with nhom she used to asso ciate while hero say she Is a thoroughbred and Is fully capable o leading Mr. Vander bilt as lUely a pac ns he may desire and his wealth Justify. ll r faculty for spending money Is regarded as remarkable even in this city of liberal Ideas , and the fast set ot San Tranclsco could not keep up with her. Net- tie dazzled them with her splendor until her money gave out and then she went cast for more According to the story printed In a local paper , after her return to Eureka , Nov. , from Mills seminary , her b'auty and dashing manner captured the little- town and also the heart of Frank Mills , a nephew of D. O. Mills. Young Mills was very devoted in his attentions , and In order to stop the af fair Nettle's parents sent her to San Fran cisco. She was then 18 years old and seemed to care for nothing but to have a good time. Already her tastes were expensive , and she showered her favors on anybody who had the wealth and Inclination to cater to her pleasure. Up to 1881 , as far as wns known. Nettle's heart was whole , but in that year she became smitten with Henry Ncustadter , who was popularly known as "Judy" on ac count of his nose , which was a standing reml- nlsc nee ot the old tlmo Punch and Judy show. nn Cohen , Nettle's father was de lighted when she showed her preference for Neustadter N'euslailter , who was then , as now , the agent of a well known brand of cigars , was not In atlluent circumstances , but he was making a good income , and when ho finally married Nettle , after a couple of months' courtship , ho set up a nice little es tablishment on Sutler street , between Tay lor and Jones , afterward removing to Taylor , between Sutler and Post. MARUIED A CIGAR MAN. H was in 1SS4 wheu Nettle Cohen changed her name at the altar , and all went well for a llttlo while. Ilimlness called her husband to Portland , and they therefore moved there and alternated between that city and San I'ranclsco until 3SS7. A few month ] after the close of that year events began to mould themselves for an Important epoch In her life. Nettle was , In one sense of the word , "going to the dogs. " She dressed expensively , wore good jewelry , and In many ways showed that she was handling plenty of money , far too much , In fact , for what she could get from her husband. To those In the Inside , though , this was no mystery Neustndter'a business kept him on the road , a good deal of the time , and while he was away she was enjoying herself to her heart's content , Many and many an oenlng she sat down to dinner and supper at swell resorts with choice spir its like Porter Ashe. Fred Webster , Tom Williams and Harry Veuve , and she achieved her reputation as a. thoroughbred became no pace could be t > ct that was too fast for her. She , however , managed to fool her husband , and he did not know anything was wronc until one day tilie told him she was colng to New York to visit some of her relithes , and away she went. After her arrival In Gotham atranga stories came to her hunband's cars. Ho learned that her trip to New Vok was made In company with a crowd , one member of which wag the celebrated Laura Rdelman ot Los Angelei. Laura bad a record of her own. She wu one of the most beautiful worn en In southern California , but the moral traces could not hold her , and ono day shf let everyone knew she had kicked oj'er them by de serting her husband , and child. She dis tinguished herself , too , shortly before her departure , by riding to the court hoiiS3 In a hack and In broad daylight shooting at n man whom It was afterwards learned had Jilted her. Nettle was , therefore. In pretty shady company with Laura Cdelman for a partner , at least Ncustadter thought so , and began to make a close Investigation. Ho found that his fears were more than re- allied , and he made one final effort to get back his happiness. Ho wrote to his \vlfe and eald : "Come back and all will be for given. " MILLIONAIRE ON THE STRING. Dut his request was unheeded , and rcall- Ing the situation ho applied for a divorce In the C'.iliforn'a ' courts and he got It , This was at the close of 1837. Nettle was then left to her own dot ices She was so charmIng - Ing and sucli good company that even In the mighty firmament of New Yorl , she shone with unusual brilliancy and the good luck which had marked the opening of her career stayed with her , for she captured the heart ot Studebaker , the millionaire carriage maker , and he gave her a sumptuous flat bought her a carriage and horses , and gave her servants and all the money she wanted In 18S9 he took her to Europe , and she traveled llko a princess Everything she had was of the best , and when she returned she possessed a wardrobe from Worth s and Jewelry that had sparkled In the shops ot the leading houses ot Paris and London. Nettle began to hanker , though , after her old home. In the midst of all her gaiety , thoughts of her childhood in California and of her parents , who had meantime moved to San Francisco , came back to her with such Irresistible magnetism , that at last , in 1890 , she packed her trunks and cumo west. Slier took rooms at the Palaca hotel , dressed better than an > woman in town , wore thousands of dollars worth of gems , and spent money as freely as If she had an un- llmltrd letter of credit on the United States mint. She hunted up all her old ac quaintances and they talked of the gay times they participated In during that eventful period. But money was1 going out and none coming in. BO Nettle had to turn eastward acaln She took with her as a companion Jesss Whiting , a Tery pretty girl from Oakland , and shortly after they reached New York the- news cams to the coast that the two women had gone OH a trip to Europe. Even If the news had not been received their whereabouts would have been know , for a few months afterward a cablegram came to the press stating that Ncltlo had been forcibly ejected from the Continental hotel In Paris The hostlery in question Is one of the swellest la Paris , and it appears that Nettle created so much stir that all the other guests threatened to leave unless she waa expelled. She would n t go peaceably so she was thrown out. From that tlmo up to a few months agd1' fche was only heard from occasionally Frl 'nds visiting New York found her living1 tn elegant apartments and with all the luxuries of llf at her command. Some one1 apparently was lav ishing lots of money 'oh ' 'her To her par ents she wrote that'slie was studyttJR for the stage and had been promised an en- gsgement with the Fronman company. She had always carefully * cortfeealed from them that she was living a fast life and they be lle ; cd the stories she wrote them The last communication received * Kero from her was In March last.

In reply Chairman Hlacluvell said the south had everything necessary for her de velopment except money and muscle. As an era of prosperity was dawning after the financial panic capital was realizing that It must look to the south. A temporary organization was effected by the election of Samuel Illackwell as tem porary chairman and T. L Barrett of West Virginia temporar } secretary. A committee on credntlals was appointed with the following members E. E Camp bell , Alabama ; James 1C. Jones Jr. . Arkansas , Colonel W A Rogers , Distilct of Columbia ; Major W.

A lettsr from n. II.

The tem porary organization was made permanent. One vice president from each state was elected on nomination of the stale delega tions. Mr Charleson , one of the delegates from Virginia and secretary of the Diston Land company , read a , letter from Mr. Hamilton Dlsston. the well linown Phlladelphian , in part as follows1 "An Important step to bo taken Is to con vince the various railroad companies that It Is to their intest. . It not directly , certainly Indirectly , to encourage , by every means In their power , immigration to the south. Low rates should be secured. "As to the future of sugar growing In the south It Is a broad subject to deal with. It is a vital question to the American people from a patriotic standpoint as well as in the light ot Individual enterprise. Why does this country Import sugar to the enormous extent of (115,000,000 per annum ? Louisiana has long been known to be a sugar state , but It Is only recently that Florida entered the raca for the production of > u ar. Our compai.y has about 500,000 acres of rich sugar lands In Florida , and the suga.r grown on our plantation at St. Cloud la that state shows very satisfactory results. "The American farmer is weary of the low prices In the old staples , brought about ) > y over-production , and has long been looking for new avenues Into which ho might direct hla energies. The production of sugar upon southern lands has opened for him one ave nue of escape from hla dilemma He can enter upon that branch of agriculture with very little means. He may either purchase or lease the land , and always find a ready market for all th cane cultivated , the sugar mills being glad to relieve him ot liU product , and he can always depend upon a handsome return for Ills labor. "I venture lo predict that It Is a question of but a short time before we will supply the entire demand for sugar and see our farmer friends In a position of prosperity and con tentment which their present conditions make linpobblble for them to enjoy.
