SAN FRANCISCO REMEMBERS HER WELL
Those Who KIIOIT Her Suy hlio U Amply
Able to spent ! 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

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. "
The afternoon session was devoted to pa
pers and addresses on the resources and
progiesb of the south.
