For nearly a year Mrs. Mary Thurman
Coles, the youngest daughter Of Allen G,
Thurman, has resided in San Diego. Cal.
Shortly after arriving she filed q petition
in the superior court asking for a divorce
from her husband, Lieutenant William S.
Coles, now in command of the United
States navy vessel Despatch. The princi-
pal charge in the complaint is that Of neg.
lect. They were married in Washington
sixteen years ago, when Mrs. Coles was
but a girl.
Mrs. Coles is a very modest and highly
cultivated lady, and her presence there
has only been known to a few.
Lieutenant Coles had not only refused
to furnish a cent toward the support of
his wife but thought because she was
Judge Thurman's daughter, he ought to
have an allowance from the money which
her father had provided for her.

A North Dakota Mans n

A few days ago, says a Washington
letter, Congressman Hansbrough rec
commended a man for a fourth-class
postmastership in North Dakota, and
i'll nearly everycase q congressional rec
concentration is equivalent to m APP
pointment. But it seems the papers
were returned to him with a notation
and reference to n protest from q
Methodist who had asserted that the
man used profane language. The
North Dakota member wrote out a
statement to the effect that he believed
the applicant was ut one time moving
a stove on a cold day. He had been
vexed for some time, but when he had
nearly completed his task the entire
system of pipe fell down, one joint
striking him on the foot, and another
on the head, filling his hair and UNDER
clothes full of SCOT. At this iuncture
he said "D--n!' and the minister.
who had entered the house, heard the
awful word. Mr.. Hansbrough also
added that if Postmaster General Wan
amaker expected to fill every postoffice
in the new state with men who had
never been guilty of an occasional swear
word he would have to move his Sun
day school scholars into North Dakota
and make postmasters of them. The
long-delayed admission, the misrule of
the Democratic carpet-bag governor
and an occasional bont with o blizzard
had tended toward hardening North
Dakota republicans, so that they
might not come quite up to the religi.
II standard desired by Mr.. Wanna
maker. However, it was his intention
to pledge all future appointees in the
postal service to abstain from anything
approaching profanity. The man in.
dispute was commissioned.

Savings the Foundation Of Wealth.

The man who something every
year, quotes a contemporary, who had
heard the remark from every quarter,
is on the road to prosperity. 1t may
not be possible to save much. Ii
not, ave a little. Do not think that
a dollar or a dime is too small q sum to
lay by. Everybody knows how little
expenditures get away with large sums.
But few seem to know that the rule is
one that works both ways. II a dime
spent here and O dollar there soon
makes q large hole in q mans income.
so do dimes and dollars laid away soon
become a visible and respectable accu-
mutation. In this country any man can
make himself independent or keep him
self under the harrow for life, accord
ing as he wastes or spends his small
change.
Most of our millionaires laid the
foundation of their fortunes by saving.
1t is said that Senator Farwell COM
menced life as q surveyor.
Cornelius Vanderbilt began life as a
farmer.
Postmaster Wanamaker's first salary
was $1.25 a week.
A. I. Stewart made his first start
as a school teacher.
Cyrus Field began life in q New En-
gland store.
Andrew Carnegie did his first work
in q telegraph Office at So a week.
Whitelaw Reid, orr minister to
France, did work as correspondent of a
Cincinnati new spaper for S. a week.
Moses Taylor clerked in Water

Jay Gould canyassed Delaware
