Kansas City Star : The death , Fri day , of Lewis 0. Tewksbury In a Now Orleans charity hospital recalls hit rise to wealth In this city and hit million dollar dream palace , near Central tral Park , Now York. Tewksbury patronized the theater * and spent a fortune after the stage door closed at night. He married "Violet Aubrey , " as she was known on the stage , and It was this union whlcli led him to conceive the building of the "dream palace" at 29 West Seventy ninth street. This palace , costing more than $1,000,000 , was built ol brown stone and was without windows The doors at the entrance were of bol Id oak , and the place was so construct ed that not a ray of light entered. The ventilation was obtained by means ol dark shafts , through which fresh cole ! or warm air could he circulated , depending pending upon the season. The splendor of the noonday sun was given on the inside of the palace by myriads of electric bulbs and chande Hers In nooks and corners and ceiling * vorywhcro. The decorations and fnrn Ishings of the house were brought from every quarter of the globe. Tewksbury , tall , handsome , debonair and ambitious , drifted Into Wall street from Manchester , N. II. , in 1SSS , with a few dollars he had saved as a clerk in n country drug store. Ho began his career in bueketshops as a dealer or customer , depending upon the varia tion of his fortune. His success was phenomenal. In less than a year ho bought a seat in the consolidated ex change and started the firm of L. J. Tewksbury & Co. Tewksbury introduced new ways of bringing the lambs to his pen for slaughter and he handled millions of dollars for his customers , much of which , It Is said , stuck to his lingers , Ho made a specialty of "golden promise" circulars and staggered the Wall street conservatives with his bold announcement of 100 per cent profit on all Investments , His methods became so scandalous and so many complaints were made of questionable stock deals that he was forced to sell his seat on the consoll dated exchange in 1896. Among the customers of Tewksbury in his prosperous days was Lewis Greenhnt , a wealthy distiller of Peoria , 111. Tewksbury absorbed a large part of Mr. Greenhnt's fortune and was his intimate friend. In his dying hour Mr , Grcenhut held the hand of Tewksbury , who promised that ho would carefully guard Mrs. Greenhut and protect her interests after his death. The beautl fill Mrs. Greenhnt , as a widow , intrust' ed her affairs to Tewksbury. She ad vanced to him about $100,000 In casli for Investment , and In July , 1899 , mar rieel him In Yonkers , N. Y. Ho hael In the meantime divorced his first wife It became apparent , however , to Mrs Tewksbury , the former .Mrs. Greenhut after the marriage , that he cared more for her money than for her , and he oh talned In all about $200,000 of her es tate before he deserted her and Now York , in January , 1901. Mrs. Grconhut became the Nemesis of Tewksbury. She learned after r year that ho was in Mexico promoting mining schemes , and was a welcome visitor in the palace of President Diaz She went to the Mexican capitol , made public her complaints , and sought te have Tewksbury , who was known as Lewis Theme , arrested and punished Towksbury , through his suave tongue managed to escape. Mrs. Greenhut was disappointed bu not disheartened. She kept on his trai relentlessly , persistently. She exposee him repeatedly , following him to Bug land , Spain , Italy , Egypt , France. Hi : downfall was due more to her effort ; than to any one other agency. Shi obtained a divorce from him and In remarried his first wife In London. From the description of those whi knew Tewksbury , there was nothlni unusual In his personal appearance He was not handsome. In stature h was of the medium size and Is usttall described In the Indefinite words "very good looking , " a pcculla emphasis by which the prope meaning of the word Is re versed. But there was In the mar nevertheless , a peculiar subtle qtmllt which attracts. Ho had a host c friends and retainers who were nc drawn by the magnet of his riches , be cause they themselves were rich. H exerted over them a powerful spell. Being women , they were Influence by the finer , daintier , exquisite thing which would not affect men. The confided in him their aims for greatc wealth , money that they might use a they wished , perhaps , and they prai tlcally gave him control , too , of thol bank accounts. During his days c extraordinary prosperity Towksbur made money for them , doubled an trebled their fortunes in months as h did his own. In the Towksbury dream palace wet twenty-two rooms , most of thorn moi oled , to a certain extent at least , aftc rooms of palaces which Towksbur mil visited in Europe and Asia. The vine collar was an exact reproduction if the wine collar In a monastery al . 'ImrtrouHo , France. The bottles ol Ino were kept in round "pigeon holes' > ored out of rock , there wns an Inter or window stuffed with old rags , am1 ho lock on the door was acluall.s irought fiom a monastery at a cost ol 500. 500.To To add to the teallty of the antlquitj ) f his wine cellar the sultan e > f Seven y-seceiud street Impoited from Ger niuiy 200 live spldeis at a cost of $1 aeh huge Insects , but not polsonoiu to spin great cobwebs In the wine ellar. But In their new home niosi of the spiders died , and these whlel un Ived were quickly exterminated bj he housewife who succeeded Mr I'owksbury In possession of his palace The Tewksbury bathroom was llnci' ' vlth marble , the plunge was of marble ho fixtures solid silver. Towksburj ised to say that this bath room was i oprodtictlon of the sultan's bathroon n the Ylldlz palace In Constantinople The bathtub was below the level 01 he floor and It was necessary to stej lown Into it. After his Uath , Tewks inry , by turning on a series of faucets ould have a shower of salt water , 01 osewator , or a mixture of plain watoi vlth hazel and alcohol. The walls of the palace , as one weni hrough , wore seen to bo hung will costly paintings of the modern school ill in luxurious taste. Hero in one cor lor stood a clock which was a globe on an upright stand , and it cost $5,00 ( n Paris. On the wall , as one wont uj the stairway , hung a silk rug wortl 118,000. Mirrors wore everywhere am tbout them costly draperies , making hem seem like entrances Into othoi KpacloiiB apartments. On the post al lie foot of each stairway throughout he rooms wore cleverly concealed pusl nittons , so that no matter In whal mrt of his palace ho might bo , the snl an could call a servant. And ho pah ils chef $5,000 a year and his butloi 1(5,000 ( and ti * stenographer in his office $7,000. And as one passed up vard' through the rooms one saw ricl : aposlrles , paintings and cabinets flllee : vlth costly ornaments one with 15C ileces of cloisonne pottery , gorgeous ii : ts coloring , wondrous in its detail vorth thousands of dollars ; another vlth satsuma pottery , another coil' ' aining costly miniatures which lie hael ollectod. Then there was the buii' ' galow , with a celling like the roof eli i tent anil curtains which could be ro > eased , so that one seemed to be in an odd and oriental Inclosuro. On one ide was a rude hearth of stone anel unong the rocks wore the stuffed boil es of many snakes , which seemed tc ) e crawling stealthily about. John R. Gentry , the famous Kansas Allssourl bred pacer , the fastest liar less horse in America , was sold at auc ion to Mr. Tewksbury in 189G fet H9,900. Tewksbury took up racing as a diversion. When he had lost a half nllllon dollars at it he quit. A WAIST ONE CAN SPAN. vllle. Polairs Lays Claim to the Small est Belt Line. Paris , March ! ! 0 Theater-goers on he Orphettm circuit in the United States are to see the smallest-waisted voman in the world next winter. Ai east this physical distinction Is claim ed by Mile. Polalre , the Parisian dancer or , and the claim Is not likely to be successfully disputed soon , as an or Unary sized man is able to encircle icr waist with his hands. Martin Beck signed a contract wltli Polaire a few days ago. Under Its orms she is to go to New York nexl fall and after an engagement there she will tour the country. She wll > lay "Le VIsiteur , " and Beck is con ident that she will produce a sensa Jon. Polaire Is now playing at the Pal ice theater in London , having gone : hero after a long run in Paris. Ever icre she packed the theater where she appeared , though an eccontrie lance is not an unmixed novelty It Paris. Just how "Le Visiteur" got bj he English censor is difficult to un lerstand , unless it is because tha dance , which is the central figure am the excuse for the production , doe : not appear in Its real color in tin manuscript. The color , It may be explained , li red. The movement Is the closes approach to the real "Apache" danci which has over been seen outside ! Parisian underground "caveatt , " am London is undecided whether It ii highly artistic or highly indecent. The scene of "Le Visiteur" Is ai actress' boudoir at night , The actros is waiting for her lovor. But ai "Apache" has killed the sweetheart and he comes Instead to steal he Jewels anel flourish an ugly looklni knife. The actress cajoles him , sing for him , enthralls him. Then sh dances with him. The dance is the "Danes des Fat bourgs. " The heroine , palefaced 1 well simulated panic , induces the inui dererous thief to join her In ordo that she may plunge his own knlf into his body and secure the safet of her pearl necklace and herself. 1 Is lurid art , with passion run riot. Besides her waspllke waist Polalr has glittering black eyes and a shoe of short hair which Is In a state c disorder whenever she dances. Th hair and the eyes contribute their par to the weird Impresslveness of th picture and cause other dances to lee like poor burlesques on the real , ultn Parisian article. Lady Constance Stowart-RIchardsoi who Is too immodest to suit the kliii and La Pla are also on the presor bill at the Palace , but the house hr eyes anel applause for Polalro enl ; As for "The Merry Widow , " "M Gooso" and "Salome , " they are ou classed.
