SHE LEAVES HER HOME.
A Lady on DaytOn's Bluff Deserts
Her Husband.


For twenty-five years Mr.. and Mrs. C.
W. Hartman have lived together under
marital vows, and in the eye of the public
their life has been free from the traditional
dark clouds that drift across the matri-
monial sky ever and anon. Mr.. Hartman
is member of the grocery firm of Tanning
& Hartman, doing big business on the
colner of Seventh and Locust streets. At
No. 244 Maria avenue he recently built a
fine house and lavishly furnished
it from the profits of his
business. The neighbors were surprised
last Thursday when Mrs. Hartman took her
fifteen-y ear-old daughter, Matilda, and
went to the house of her sister, Mrs. A. W.
COmnick, 705 Ravine street, announcing
that she had left the house of her husband
never to return. She stated that he had
drunk Unexpectedly of late and had rem
dered living with him very uncomfortable.
Yesterday afternoon Hartman went to the
Comnick residence to see his daughter, and
was told by the lady that the girl was not
there. Last evening about $50 o'clock, to-
gether with his son, a young man,
he went to the house again. While the
son went to the door Hartman stood by the
fence. He had been there hardly a minute
when. according to his story, an officer
caught him by the collar and told him to go
home. as Mrs. Comnick had asked him 1.-THE
officer to protect her property. Hartman
refused to go home, but left the house with
out seeing his daughter, and he says that
to-day he will swear out warrant to re-
cover her, and when he gets the girl in his
possession he will institute proceedings for
divorce. Mr.. Hartman said last night
that his wife had no reason for leaving him,
and that he had always treated her with the
utmost respect but his greatest desire was
to get his daughter.

The Special Delivery.

The rapid delivery does not seem to have
proved to be as popular in ST. Paul as it
was expected it would. During the month
of November the st. Paul Office received
from other places 500 letters; local letters
deposited for delivery, 1902; total compensa-
ton to messengers, $71.92; average COM
pensation to messengers, SIG. 90; total num-
Der OF trips by messengers, Csc; average
time of delivery of letters after arrival, 30
minutes, Z seconds; mailed here to go to
other places, 1924; special-delivery stamps
sold, SOTO. There was falling off of
SO letters from the preceding month. The
sale of special delivery stamps in October
amounted to S115.50 and in November to
$67.10, showing during the month Of
November a decrease of $3.50.
The postoffice people do not regard the re-
suit of the past two months as a conclusive
settlement of the matter as to whether or
not the project will or will not in the end
prove successful. They seem to think that
partly through curiosity people bought more
freely of stamps in October than they really
required, and that they have some left over.
They feel confident that the month Of De-
cember will surpass that of October, and
that ultimately the project will prove sue

deared to the people. He believed in them,
ard they in him, and they will deeply deplore
his loss. He was an able, consistent and

many honors bestowed upon him. AS a men,
Der of congress- commissioner of the general
land Office, governor of Indiana, United

The Diamond 10 Warehouse.

An ordinance to aid in the improvement
of the public levee, and to foster and
encourage the river business in st. Paul,
has been prepared, and would have been
submitted to the council last night but for
the fact that no business was transacted.
The ordinance gives permission to the
Diamond 10 line of steamers to erect a
wooden warehouse, one-story high, and 200
feet long by 40 wide, on the levee, COM
mencing at the westerly end of the river
warehouse, now between Jackson and
Sibley streets, and extending thence west
200 feet. 1t is to be so constructed as to
leave a covered, butopen, passageway from
Jackson street to the river 80 feet wide.
1t is to be used only for the transfer of
goods, and not for the purpose of trade.
All boats arriving are to be allowed to dis
charge or receive carp and. passengers free
of charge. Any sieaamboat corporation or
company now or hereafter organized, operat-
ing line on the Mississippi river, is
entitled to use the warehouse with the Dia-
mond 10 line upon such terms and condi-
tions as the common council of st. Paul
may declare to be just. 1t will be offered
at the meeting Of the council tomorrow

become great and growing influence in
| this and other lines of effort, and mankind
is bowling down to its power for good.
He paid high tribute to the work and
methods of Bishop Ireland and his cOajut0rs.
Their methods are those of reason and prac-
ticability, not of sentimental impossibility,
and closed with an argument in favor of
high license.
A quartet, by Misses Folk, Carroll, Bolo-
ner and Chalifon, was sung and encored.
Il. d. O'Brien followed with a neat adj
dress. He thought more effective work
could be done by laboring for the societies
than by preaching temperance in the alb
stract. To him the evils of intemperance
seemed twice-told tale. He spent part
Of his time every day in the municipal
court, where he had a temperance sermon
every morning. Liquor is nearly always
at the bottom of the misery, crime and
strife there portrayed. 1t is to these socie-
ties that is due the fact that the spirit OF
temperance is kept alive. Their influence
persistence therein. Of the thousands of
convictions he had seen in the municipal
court in the last five or six years, not one
had been member of the Father Mathew
society, to his knowledge. He closed with
an appeal for labor in behalf of increased
membership, for the interests of the cause
itself and of the society.
P. j. Fortune, with his witty remarks
and song, convulsed the house and was re-
called.
Father Stanley made few eXtempora-
neous and effective remarks He had
passed many pleasant evenings in that hall.
but never felt more pleased than on this
occasion. for he felt that the society was re-
newing its youth and vigor. He predicted
some rousing and interesting meetings for
the coming winter that would receive more
than local notice. There were in Mime
sofa eighty total abstinence societies con-
nected with the work of this diocese, each
looking toward the labors of this Organiza-
ton, and it must be doomed. He INDUCED
in some pleasing "reminiscences of what he
termed the palmy days of the society, when,
some years ago, the membership was
over three hundred, and the meetings were
so full of spirit that the table was mess of
pulverized pine through the constant and
vigorous use of the gavel. AS an illustra-
ton of the results of abstinence he said
that every married member of the society
was enjoying health and comfortable.

THE ADVENT MISSION.
Addresses Delivered at the Church
of the Good Shepherd.


The interest in the mission still continues.
Another large congregation was in attend
ance last night. Bishop Whipple and the
Revs. Gilfillan and Graves were the speak
erS, the rector. Rev. Mr.. Pope, and the
Rev. George c. Tanner of Owatonna being
present. The subject for the evening was
the Malignity of Sin. Mr.. Gilfillan showed
that different sins are leagued together, and
that a person in freeing himself from one
sin is apt to find himself confronted with
another, which must be likewise eradi-
Gated. He dwelt on the sin of profanity,
and related wretched night which he had
once passed in a strange city. Having re-
tired for the night at hotel, he was
awakened by the most terrible
noises which he had ever heard. 1t seems
the jail was not far distant from the hotel
and the drunken wretches who were locked
up there were making night hideous with
their blasphemy. MI. Gilfillan's address
was full of interest.
Mr.. Graves followed on the same subject,
dividing it into two heads: The mystery of
sin and the slavery of sin. He spoke of
vanity as being one of the prevailing sins.
People think vanity is a very trivial sin, a
mere foible, but physicians tell us
that large proportion OF in
sane people become so by indulg-
ing in the sin of vanity
until it has gained complete control over
them. Bishop Whipple followed on the
same subject. He said people seem to
think that if they can barely secure Gods
| forgiveness at the last moment of their
| lives that is sufficient. They need some
| thing else than that. Surprising. he said,
that could gather every thief, gambler
and sinful woman in this city, could gather
them all together tonight in some large
hall, and supposing that I could say to
| them MY friends, I have got amnesty from
God for all of you. There will be no more
penalty for your SINS" would like to ask
you, would the crowd be any better by OBJ
tanning peace merely because the penalties
were taken away? No, no. The sin itself
must be washed away. They must do like

enter mills in this country.
They earn more and expend more for rent,
food. clothing and luXurles, and that makes
business better here than i'll Europe. We
don't want cheaper labor on this side the
Atlantic. We can reach the linen question
by another and better method. Let Euro
pean manufacturers be given to understand
that we are determined to raise flax and
make linen goods in the United States and
they will transfer their machinery rapidly
to this country. st. Paul and Minneapolis
would be very suitable points for the man.

Upon what do you base your opinion
concerning the coming of European flax
machinery to this country?"
"Upon1several. Linen thread makers
have already established mills here.
and others are about doing so. The Dundee
(Scotland) Advertiser of Nov. II, 1885,
in an article headed Decay of the Leeds
Flax Trade gives sketch of the decay of
the fax industry in Leeds and neighbour
hood, and vivid dissolving during the last
forty years. 1t says the business has not
gone to Dundee or Belfast nor has the de-
mand for linen goods declined, but that the
business has gone to France, Germany and

lowing significant sentence: 1T is cur
rently reported in town that Messrs.
Marshall are establishing large flax mills in
America"
''How is it that we can compete with In
slia in wheat and not in flax and jute?"
Because flax and jute culture requires
more labor than wheat. But let the farm
ers of Minnesota understand that cheap
labor in India will soon be felt in wheat as
fax. The railroad system of interior In
dia is now completed, and it is only a ques-
ton of time-a very few years-when In
dian wheat, if untaxed, will be sold in the
New York and Boston markets at less
price than Minnesota wheat. 1t will not be
question of exporting to European ports,
but question of supplying the Atlantic
seaboard cities of the United States. Eng
land now boasts that it costs less to trans
port Indian wheat to Liverpool than to
freight Minnesota wheat to New York,
Boston or New Orleans. 1t therefore only
remains for India to go on increasing her
wheat acreage, which she is rapidly doing,
and she will drive American wheat out Of
Europe and Indian wheat into America"

MINNESOTA FLAX.
An Expert Says it Can be Raised and
Worked TO Advantage.

Mr.. E. A. Hartshorn of Troy, n. Y,
president of the Cable flax mills there and
for many years practical fax spinner, is
stopping at the Ryan. In casual CONVEX
sation with GLOBE reporter yesterday.
Mr.. Hartshorn said that the fax fibre now
wasted in Minnesota was valuable and
could be made a source of considerable rev.
enue, being far superior in strength and
durability. 1.-The native word for iute in
India, is equivalent to our word hum
bug" said he: Its cheapness is its prin-
cipal recommendation. 1t can be sold so cheap
because it is grown and cleaned by cheap
labor. The Indian farmer is quite content
with or cents per day, and can live on
rice at daily cost of less than cents.
Hence it is quite possible for US to purchase
good, clean jute at "a and 81 cents a
pound in New York, all freight, duty and
insurance paid. At these prices it is not
strange that the Minnesota farmer makes
the most money out of his fax fibre by
burning it up
''Bnt will our fax fibre really make val
liable goods?"
Most certainly it will. if labor is put
upon it. For twines, cordage, burlap, tow
cling, crash, carpeting and many other pur-
poses it is perfectly adapted. 1t is only a
question of labor cost in putting it into use.
There are two ways by which we can
Immediately utilize our fax fibre and in
crease our linen industry. One is for
American laborerS to work as cheaply as
European and Asiatic people, and the other
is to impose larger tax upon flax and lutte
and the products therefrom.
THE FIRST PLAN
regard as impossible and altogether sui
cidal to the best interests of the country,
and the second as entirely feasible and hn-
name We are paying about three times as
much for labor as British, Scotch and Irish
spinners, and France, Germany and Russia
has labor still cheaper than Great Britain.
About hall our working people are from
Scotland and Ireland and the balance native
American. but all are paid the same wages
for the same service. Those coming from
Europe get about three times their
former wages the first day they
