The Sight of His Wife and Chill
dren Made Him Drop Divore
Proceedings.
Denver Special.
A romance in real life is the story of
the separation and reuniting of Cyprian
TurcOtt. retired captain in the French
navy, and his wife Mary, after three
years of absence; Of patient toll and
duty on the~wife's part,of fOrgetfulness,
inconstancy and finally love for another
on the part of the husband. The two
were brought face to face yesterday
afternoon and to-day are living happily
together.
Three years ago Turcott. who has
made and lost dozen fortunes, who
has served in Africa as captain of a
French man-Of-war, and has owned and
commanded ocean vessels, found him.
self in Denver poor man again. His
wife and two children were sent home
on visit to his wife's mother near
Montreal. Canada, and TurcOtt went to
work at the bottom of the ladder. He
is skillful blacksmith and secured
position. This position he held until a
few days ago, when he went into busi-
ness for himself. Letters between the
uuSUdIIu anu WllC WCIC lCMs anu az luOU
ceased altogether. Mrs. TurcOtt, who
is a highly-educated woman, supported
her three children, second girl being
born OH her arrival East. by teaching
French and music. She lived with her
husbands parents near Montreal.
TurcOtt, however, grew to forget his
wife and family, and fell in love with
lady of this city. She returned his af-
fectiOns with ardOr, and when an ac-
quaintance told her TurcOtt had a wife
she said she didn't care if he had
dozen: she loved him and would marry
him. Through lawyer early divorce
proceedings were begun. TurcOtt al
legged that his wife had deserted him in
Boston, and summons was mailed to
her i'm that city. 1t was returned unde-
livered. The divorce mill was grinding
quietly and with dispatch, and Turcott
was so sure that everything was all
right that he secured from the county
clerk new marriage license.
1t was his intention te marry his new
love on the evening of the day when
his expected divorce was granted. But
fate interfered. A friend of the Wife'S
wrote to her of the divorce proceedings
and engaged Attorney II. B. OReilly to
look after her interests. Lawyer
O'Reilly sent for him, and Turcott ar
rived at the office. He was elegantly
dressed and showed that he is man of
refinement and education. The lawyer
told him the divorce proceedings would
cost him $500 before he got through,
and Turcott threw up both hands.
Just then there came knock at the
door and TurcOtt was asked to open it.
He did so. and there on the threshold
stood his wife and two little girls. one
The sight melted the faithless husband
completely. The wife fell upon his
neck and both wept like children. The
little ones were clasped in a fathers
strong arms, and the family walked out
of the office united. The divorce pro-
ceeding will be dropped and there will
be no second wedding.

MADE A MISTAKE.
A Lynx-Eyed Detective Got the
Wrong Man.

AOhS~
1t appears, as might be supposed,
during the past week. while the stores
were thronged with Christmas buyers,
there was more or less pilfering OF goods
by shoplifters, and some of the mer-
chants, in addition to having their
clerks exercise as careful watch as
possible, secured the attendance OF de-
tectives. The task of singing out
thieves in crowded stores, where
the opportunities to quietly pocket
knick-knacks and small articles
were so numerous and not make mis-
take in the arrest of the wrong party,
was a diffiult one, as can be imagined,
and is illustrated by an occurrence at
DOnaldson's Glass Block store. +. ID.
McCOsker, who is travelling agent for
j. X. Clark. the manufacturer or wood
enware, on Nicollet island. was making
some small purchases, when he was
tapped OH the shoulder by man who
proved to be Police Inspector John +.
How. and told to come up stairs. When he
found he was suspected OF beng thief
he became indignant. A search OF MS
person resulted in showing that he had
nothing upon him he had not bought,
and he was allowed to go. AS a result
OF this treatment he declares lie VIII Sue
Donaldson IL Co. for $4,000 damages,
and has secured FL. Z. RawsOn as attOr-
ney to bring such an action Immediate
". He said yesterday that he
realized that Donaldson d Co.
have the right to protect themselves
from thieves, and that mistake might
be made in making an arrest of party,
but says the manner in which it was
done in his case provokes his ire. He
says Hoy, after tapping him on the
shoulder, said: "I'm on to you and your
work, and have been watching yOu."
That, instead of quietly drawing
him to one side. the officer
made so much fuss that the at
tention of great many people
was attracted who thought thief had
been caught. That besides this num-
Der of lady clerks were summoned for
the purpose of identifying him as a
thief who had been working" the
store, Mr.. McCosker seems to be con-
siGerably worked up over the affair. and
thinks the officer was too OfficiOus and
rough in his manner. and will conse-
Quently sue for damages.

LOCAL COMMENT.

According to the statistics gathered
by the Hallelujah boys of the Y. Nj. G.
A, over 5000 persons, in one hour, en-
tered the various saloons in Minneap-
oils last Saturday night. The associa-
ton, in making public this report, con-
Veys the idea that Minneapolis is the
home of thousands of young men who
sQuander everything for drink or other
wise. Though this may be true, the
GLOBE challenges any city in the
United States. with equal or larger
population, where saloons are licensed,
TO compare police court statistics. The
number of drunkS and diSorderlieS dur
ing the past year has been very small
when il is considered that we are living
in a city with over 100000 people. Re
cent statistics of London estimate that
$500 goes over the bar for every minute
in the year. and that if all the saloons
were placed in a row they would eX-
tend the enormous distance OF III
miles. London is a tremendous city,
but its sins in proportion are far greater
according to population than Mnneap-
oils.
There are still a number of buildings
In Minneapolis supplied with fire eS-
capeS which can only be reached through
somebody's Office. The chances are
even that just the time the escape IS
needed that office door will be locked.

FROHMAN NOT THERE,
But Donoghue Gave an Exhibition
of His Speed.


There was big crowd at the Palace
Ice rink last night. The people went
there for the purpose of witnessing
1iye-mile race, supposedly for the anna
teur championship of ther world, be-
tween Joseph DOnoghue ard August
FrOhman, but they were disappointed.
Elmer Foster stood on chair and told
the crowd that Mr.. FrOhman was seri-
nusly Ill and that he couldn't skate. In
his place, however, the management
had secured Frank Johnson, local
skater who would skate for three miles.
DOnOghue offered TO give Mr.. johnson
the benefit of a one lap handicap, but
johnson refused the offer and the men
were started from opposite corners of
the rink by stroke on the gong. 1t
was evident from the start that while
Johnson had plenty of pluck, he lacked
both the speed and strength possessed
by the New Yorker. At the end of the
fifth lap DonOghue had clear lead of
half lap, which he maintained with
the utmost ease. Only once during
the race did he make any attempt
at squirting, and then he gained fully
100 yards in making the circuit, Show
Ing that he had not been pushed. Don
ohue was awarded the race by a lap.
The time was announced as 9 minutes,
81 seconds for the three miles.

the challenge, provided the races can

PUG DOG AND MISTRESS.
Their Unhappy Encounter With a
Weary Passenger in a Crowded

Their Unhappy Encounter With q
Weary Passenger in Crowded
Car.
Boston Transcript.
A funny incident hap pened recently
on the Providence di vision of the Old
Colony Railway. A large, raw-bone d,
good-natured man entered the car as the
train held up at the ROXbury station.
The car was crowded and people were
standing. The new conner stopped sud-
denly beside a seat which was occupied
by young lady who was buried in
novel, and beside her reposed pet pug
dog. The other passengers had stood
from Boston to this point without pro.
testing, but the latest arrival took in the
situation at glance, and said mildly:
"Miss, would like to sit down, if
yon please"
The young woman looked up DIR cam
lily from the book, and replied with dig
nifty:
.;The seat is engaged"
"By the dOg?''
ayes"
ssHas the dog a ticket?''
No answer.
"Oh, I'm sorry he hasn't ticket, be-
cause Fll have to bounce him Off the
train"
And without a moments hesitation
the dog was lifted by the nape of the
neck to the window and dropped to the
ground, and the vacant seat was taken
by the stranger.
The young woman was paralyzed for
a moment.
The train was only moving slowly as
it left ROXbury, and the pug was not
harmed, scampering off for dear life.
His mistress, as soon as she grasped the
situation, screamed to the approaching
conductor to stop the engine so that she
might recover her pet. The condu ctor
was soon informed as to the cause OF the
sensation. and quietly told the young
woman that she might get off at the
next station if she wished to and hunt
for the dog. She did so, to the delight
of the crowded car.
