Could Keep the Cook AWAY.

New YORK. March ga humorous
side of the importation of the $4,000 a
year cook by Vanderbilt is developed by
the fact that in case any one objects to his
landing he will be obliged to return to
France. He is under a contract to remain
here for five years at a salary Of $40, 900 a
year, That brings him within the scope
of the United States law against the
bringing of contract labor from other
lands to America. The same law also pro-
vides that the employer of the labor con-
tracted for shall be fined. 81 900. 1t is not
likely that any one will object to the pres
ence OF the French chef in the million
aires kitchen, but any spiteful person
could compel the return of the cook and
annoy Mr.. Vanderbilt.

She Tore His Whiskers Out,

SAN Francisco, March 22.-The sen
s%ational divorce case of DR.. James @.
Snafter, son OF a millionaire of this city,
against his wife, for cruelty, was ended
to-day with a decree for the husband.
DIR. Skaters father is an ex Judge, whu
owns thousands of acres of valuable
ranches near San Francisco. The son
went to Germany about ten years ago to
finish his medical education, and there
met a young woman named Elenore
Lange, whom he married. She claimed
kinship 10 royalty and moved in high so.
ciety. When the old Judge heard of the
marriage he was disguised, but the fam
lily received his sons wife. She o
proved a regular virago and created a
scandal by her treatment of her husband
in public. Finally the young doctor de.
serted her and began the divorce suit.
He claimed hat she beat him and tore
out his whiskers, and that she had been
seduced before her marriage. These
charges were proved, and, while testi-
mony was being taken about a fortnight
ago, the wife's brother shot at Judge
Shafter and narrowly missed him. The
probate Judge promptly granted a divorce
TO day and gave the woman four-tenths of
the property, only worth $1,000. The
Shalter family made great efforts to keep
the divorce proceedings secret, but the
murderous attempt of young LANCE made
the case sensational.

ragged Tuesday night and until this morn

companied by a heavy cutting wind in
many places, and was rendered worse by
binding snow storms. Minnesota, north
of Crookston, and in Northeastern Dakor
tn, most of the roads were badly block
AIDED. Wherever there was any snow it
was badly drifted, and railroad tracks in
many instances were covered to a depth
OF nine feet.
MARQUETTE, Mich, March 22.-One
of the worst blizzards during the winter
set IN last night at an early hour, and
lasted until this morning. Considerable
snow fell and the railroads are greatly

He Came to Save the World.

BRMINGHAM, Ala, March 22.-The
early pedestrians who passed the corner
Of Twentieth street and First avenue, the
most frequented thoroughfares of the
city, were startled this morning by loud
tones of imploration and prayer, which
came from overhead. Looking upward
from whence the voice came they
beheld a man standing Upon the very
outer %cornice of the Alabama State Bank
building, which is five stories high. He
was proclaiming in the loudest tones
something the exact purport of which was
unintelligible to the fast gathering crowd,
which looked on in horror, expecting
every minute to see the man fall head
long to the street. A policeman made
his way up several flights of stairs, then
out of a fire trap to the roof and sue
ceeded in bringing the man safe to the
ground.
He was taken to the city Jail, where he
gave his name as Orlando Scott johnson,
formerly Of Youngstown, Ohio, but more
recently of st. Louis. He left Youngs-
town some three months ago and vent to
st. Louis and then to Memphis. He says
about the time he left Youngstown it was
revealed to him by divine visitation that
he was a human magnet, and that he was
to be drawn to the center of the universe,
where he was to IN the work of
reforming the world. He also says that
it was revealed to him that he must pro.
claim his mission from the house tops.
He protested against incarceration, but
finally quoted himself by saying that it
was a part OF his mission to be incarce-
rated among thieves and other criminals.
johnson is an entire stranger tere, but is
a fine looking man, about IS years old,
neatly dressed, and talks fuently and in
diligently upon all subjects except his mis-
sion. He declares his sanity, but stoutly
refuses to speak of any relatives or ac-
analntanCeS.

as a blood depurcnt in this particular is
very ample, and strongly concurrent and
convincing. In violent forms of these

to secure much needed repose. For kid
