In the Morning Post there was an article telling about little Maree, Addie Ballantines [[Ballantine's]] girl. it seems that she has come into lots of money some one she used to call Uncle but was only an old friend of her family. he died & left Maree $500,000 & more. she has been taking care of him for the last six month & they say he would have married her had he lived, he was in his sixties & she 28. she has a faculty of getting into the affections of older men. now probably there will be a fight over her getting the money, he left Maree in his will. for he had a nephew & nieces. his colored maid he gave $500. & a small sum to his nephew. he was called the "Banna [[Banana]] King" he was an Italian & made his money on selling bannanas [[bananas]] he and his brother who died a short time ago. Maree was Italian & the Ballantines [[Ballantine's] could never make a Catholic of her. they all turned against her but Addie & she worshipped the ground she walked on. now Addie was called out yesterday to see her & Maree will see that she will never want. they had no idea of her ever coming into money. Maree has never been out here since they drove her away.
