troublacion the great explorer's reputation, The Constantinople correspondents of several newspapers have told this story in the last week. Emilie Leidschaft, the widow whom Emin made kid first wife, was deserted by him in Constan tinople in 1876. He took with him at that time all her money and jewelery, which represented considerable fortune inherited from her first hushand. He had previously sold the house and land in Constantiaopic, which ser first husband had left her, and had appropriated the proceeds to his own use,

He went to Africs and became famous as Emin Pasba. But years passed before his first wife discovered that Emin was identical with the Edward Schnitseler whom she had married. By obtaining official aid from Germany she was enabled to force from Emin the lump sum of 10,000 marks.
