the assertion that he has been in the
habit OF using baby powder, pink face

to darken his eyes. The broker has q

him constantly, washes him every
morning and bathes his face and body

rated in September. The broker was
married October 1. 1852, and for years
lived with his family at 45 Seventh
avenue, Brooklyn. He owns that
house, and also has country seat at
Tsiip. Mrs. wanzor has sued the
broker in the court of common pleas
for a legal separation on the ground OF
cruelty and failure TO support herself
and children. She charges that for
the past eight years his cruelty has
been OF such q character that she was
compelled 10 leave him. She declares
that he has struck and abused her, has
dragged her down the stairs. thrown
things at her while they were at the
table. almost choked her, threatened
10 kill her and demoiish everything in
the house and burn down the estab-
| Iishment. She says that he told her
| that he would swing on the galiowS If
| he could not have his own way.

man, his wife said, as he nightly re-
| manned out until the early hours OF
the morning. She complained, also,
| that he did not provide properly for
the family in food or dress. although
he very freely and extensively clothed
himself.

for alimony and counsel fees to assist
her to prosecute her suit. She asserted

| 500 90, and was receiving an income
of $4,000 a year All her children

OF the family troubles.
The broker declared that his wife-s
| allegations as to his conduct were ut
terly false, and he insisted that he had
| always provided bountifuliy for his
/ family. He expressed his willingness
| to provide for his wife in the family
home separately. and said he would
not speak TO her unless he was ad-
dressed. He had, he said, for years
supported his wife's parents and her
| sister, and even now has dry goods
bills and dentists bills incurred by his
wife and daughters which are unpaid.

to his wealth, he AYERS that is greatly
exaggerated, because now the sugar
