WHY Thcy want Divorces,

Winfield S. Thomas. a locomotive engineer,
has applied for a divorce from Nancy A. Thorn
as, to whom he was married ten years ago. He
claims that she failed to perform her household
duties, neglected him in various ways, and final
" abandoned him.
Charles B. Arnold wants a divorce from Fan
ME G. Arnold, to whom he was married in 1880.
He alleges neglect, inattention, that she has re-
ceived the attentions of unmarried men, visited
their places of business, showing in her man
ner a ievity that betokens a total disregard of
public sentiment or private morality and an en-
tire want of appreciation of the feelings of her
husband and family, and thereby injuring her
reputation by giving rise to surmises, reports
and suspicion, so that she has become a byword
and a disgrace among persons of her acquaint-
ance and a continued cause of the deepest NOR
tiication, and shame, and sorrowto the plaintiff,
her husband"

thereat.
The London Economist says: ''Want of proper
detail in the annual reports, and the Withholding
OF complete, regular and authentic revenue state
ments, are prima facie evidences of some form of
dishonesty"
The Northern Pacific people announce that
agents must refuse for transportation any ship
ments of ardent spirits, wines or liquors destined
to points on its line which are located within the
Indian reservations.
The Canadian railways have caused a com
motion among commercial travellers by the

FOURTH OF JULY SCHEME.
The X. P. Uniform Rank.

General Carnahan, who was elected com
mander-inchief of the Uniform Rank of the
Knights Of Phythias. at the meeting of the Su-
preme Council, in New Orleans last week, says
that the membership of the Uniform Rank now
numbers over %, 0O0, and he believes that it will
reach 40, 900 by the time of the next meeting of
the Supreme Council The form of the organi-
cation has been changed until now it is much the
same in its system, he says as the government,
the lodge bearing about the same relation to the
Uniform Rank that the civil government does to
the military. One of the most important
changes made by the Supreme Council was in
the adoption of a by law providing for the
grading of the fourth class of the Uniform Rank,
according to age. There are about LOCO mem
bers of the rank divisions in Indiana, and the
membership throughout the country, General
Carnahan says, makes the organization larger
than the United States Army. The officers and
the finance committee of the Supreme Lodge
will be in attendance az the meeting Of the Indi-
ana Grand Lodge in this city on June g.

Habeas Corpus Proceedings.

Mrs. Ella Deneen has instituted habeas corpus
proceedings against Josephine l.. Hoffman for
the recovery Of her daughter Dollie, aged four
years. She claims that she allowed the child to
be adopted by the defendant, who represented
that she would give it a good home and pleasant
associations, but that instead of doing this it is
kept in n d~isreputable house which is continu-
ally visited by evil-minded people of both sexes.
Mrs. Deneen therefore wants to get her child
back.
Judge Howe yesterday found for the plant
iff in the habeas corpus proceedings brought by

THE AMUSEMENT REVIEW.

ENGLISHs OPERA HOUSE.-'THB DIME Show
Col. J. II. Woods dime" show began a re
turn engagement at English's last night, and the
audience filed the lower floor and the gallery.
n performance of much interest, decidedly bet
ter than before, was given, and each turn was
enthusiastically eneorcd. The features were
Carter, a good iuggler, who has several new
tricks; Miss Emma Rice-a petite miss-who has
an excellent voice and sings with much taste;
Spence and Sartelle, in an instrumental musical
act; Miss Annie Morgan, a well known vocalist,
in good selections; Ward and Lynch, Irish com
edians; the skaters; Frankie Jones, a preco-
cious kid Damspero and the Middletons mari
onettes. The performance is a surprisingly
good one for such cheap prices, and will doubt
less draw well all week. 1t will be repeated
every afternoon and evening.

the San Francisco quartet, Lulu Wentworth
in songs with banjo accompaniment, Hallet and
Raymond, song and dance men, and Mrs.
frankie Howard, a good singeran a wonderfully
clever dancer. Manager Gilmore has a new

A Who Handles the Narrow
Gauge Without Gloves.


A diseonsolate bondholder Of the Toledo, Gin
cinnati & st. Louis narrow gauge road writes
a half-column letter to the Boston Herald in
which he says some sensible things. SIT seems
to be worth while, he writes, Ito say that the
T., c. 81 St l.. cannot be reorganized or lifted
out Of its slough by writing letters to the news
papers Every holder of the bonds and stocks of
that road, if he has common sense, must see hat
nothing can be accomplished toward enhancing
the value of his property except through and by
combination. 1t is related of the boyhood of a
former chief executive of Massachusetts that,
when asked by his playmates to join a procession
on some festal day, he declined, saying: No, I'll
sit on the fence and squirt water at EN- as they
60 by. 1t has been one of the conspicuous curses
attending all efforts to rescue the Toledo, Cincin
natl d st. Louis that certain men, instead of
joining those who are willing to sacrifice some
thing of their ease. their money and their opin-
ions to save property, prefer TO stand aloof, ven
tllate their opinions in the journals of the day,
and squirt water on the forming procession"
In finance. the simplest way is the best way,
always. AS a rule, the best way to treat a bank
rupt road is to wipe out the bonded indebtedness
by the issue of stock.

are the actual connections binding together the
several members of the group. 1t is known, of
course, that the Wabash. Pacific 81 St. Louis
is leased to the st. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern. and that the latter is either held in
lease or has been absorbed by the Missouri Pa
cifc. The latter also leases the Missouri, Kan
ss q Texas, which has merged in some way
into its own existence the international & Great
the Texas & Pacific, which forms an integral
part of the Southwestern system, is also con
trolled in some underlined way by the omnipo-
tent Missouri Pacific. But so far as the common
and preferred stocks are concerned, little need
be said, despite their nominal amount of $780,
600, 600; for with the sole exception of the Mis-
sturi Pacific, none of them are likely to become
anything more than gambling counters or voting
tickets. But even the bonds are exceedingly dan
difficulties are almost insuperable in the way of
determining the value of a bond secured upon
some piece of so complicated a network"
