therefore, hotbeds Of propagation, the

guinea pigs and rabbits can be made to
take yellow fever By incubation with
the blood Of a yellow fever patient, or
even b. confinement over earth from

disease can be transmitted from one to

who Is now seeking a divorce from
her) says In making the following
statement | am aotuated solely by a
sense Of duty to my child, and desire

quaintanoe Of two years, | married

NJ. Singer, Esq, Of Paigntoh, Doven-
shire, England, Nine days after our
marriage his death occurred. From
that moment our trials commenced.

me, she came to look upon me as a
scheming adventurer whose only greed
was her inheritance. At last she
charged me what am satisfied she
thought to be the truth.

shortly after came a separation
and | came to America At the
expiration Of sixteen months | return
ed to England to see for the first time
my child, a boy, lacking but a few
days Of being year old. For time
we lived happily, but at last the old
suspicious returned, and again | left

cation passing between US meanwhile,

Of the most serious charges ever
brought against a man. The nurse OF
my child confessed to something
which, as God is my Judge, never ex-
listed. | made no defense except q
simple denial, for | abhorred the
thought Of living with a wife who
thought me such a degraded wretch.
Knowing my wife's peculiar ma
ture, | could not blame her for
the course she took under the cir.
cumstances. Any right minded
woman who felt herself so deeply
wronged would have done the same,
for she had the strongest prooi-the

alleged victim. II has always been q
