WHAT Rum DID FOR HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Mrs. Emma JudSOn is an accomplished lady of
refined manners and appearance. Her huS-
band is retired merchant living in Bird ye-
port, Conn.,, and they have a boy Il years of
age. She is less than 30. Soon after her mar
rage, with her own money, she bought house
in Lexington avenue, Brooklyn, where the
couple begun life in comfort. Mr.. JuiSOn was
in the liquor business, and his home was
literally supplied with wines. He became
overload of drink, and so much so that it led
to divorce, the wife being the plaintiff. Signs
of reformation and promises to do better led
to forgiveness on her part ard they were re-
married. After the second marriage, NJ s.
JudsOn herself became the victim OF strong
drink, and her husband began a suit for lin
ted divorce, that is now pending. Mrs. JudSOn
went to live with her mother, Mrs. Margaret
T. Lindsey, at l54 Lee avenue, Brooklyn. She
was unable to break up her habits of drinking,
and four months ago committed an assault
upon her mother, for which she was arrested
and sentenced to the Kings county peni-
Tertiary for six months. The life in the prison
having to large extent cured her of her love
Tor liquor, her mother, on a writ of certiorari,
had her before Judge McCue in Brooklyn yes
terday. Her release is desired that she may
be reunited to her husband. She seemed to
feel her disgrace keenly. She was allowed TO
60 on her own recOgniZance until Friday
when she is to appear to give bail, pending a
review of the proceedings of the lower court

VALUABLE SCIENTIFIC DISCoVERY.-A pOr-
ton Of the Kansas University scientific eXpe
d1tlon, which has been collecting fossils in
western Kansas during the past month, ar
rived in Denver yesterday and is camped on
the ridge. Probably the most important geo.
logical find of the present year was made by
Professor +. III. Snow, of this party, in Cove
Denver. This discovery consisted of a giant
reptile, or Saurlan, so perfectly preserved a.
TO exhibit portion of the outer covering OF
hide" Previously biologists had found hun
dredS OF specimens of these SiurianS with the
bones alone remaining, so that this discovery
OF the cutter skin Is something entirely new TO
science. The Saurian in question was about
thirty feet In length and IL might have been
81 p'oSed that the external plates or scales
would be of large size, as is the case with the
living crocodlles and allgatorS. But, on the
contrary, the Saurlan scales are very small for
All animal OF such imposing dimensions, being
no larger than those OF an ordinary garter
snake. The rock In which this fossil was
found was OF the cretace0uS forma'i ion, un-
usually compact in texture, which probably
accounts for the preservation of SO peri>ha Dle
portion In order to reach the specimen it
was necessary to remove about six feet of
0V"rlying rock, which required three days
labor OF the professor and his two assistants
MesSrS. Dyche and Foster, students of the uni
Verslty. In other respects the expedition has
been very successful, having already Shipp ad
TO Lawrence, for the university cabinets, up
wards OF one hundred fossil fishes and mtny
Saurian skeletons, besides six or seven thou
sand specimens of The living birds, plants and
