HIS OPPORTUNITY.
A New York Wife's Request-"If You
Love Me, Give Me a Divorce"


Love Me, Give Me a Divorce"
NEW YORK, May 24th.-The first favor
Mrs. Sadie J. Core says she ever asked her
husband, Francis R. Core, to grant was
most extraordinary one. The modest re-
quest was for permission to marry another
man. This was the way she put the ques-
ton to him, in letter; II have an offer
of marriage from a man whom l have
thought great deal of for long time. so
what | write is to either give you divorce
or get one from you, for that is the only
way | will ever be happy, and if that does
not happen | shall only go from bad to
worse. AS you have been married three
times | would rather let you have me get
divorce from you, but if you want the
public TO think you have left me you can
have it the other way if you wish. You
always said you would do anything in the
world 10 make me happy, and now is your
chance. This is the first time | have ever
asked you a favor. What is the use of
being linked to woman who cares nothing
for you?n
Mrs. Core was unreasonable enough to
imagine that she could ask for something
besides divorce and her husband de-
clined to grant the little favor Mrs Core
waited patiently for while, and then be-
gan suit for separation, which came up
before Judge Sedgewick yesterday on a
motion for heavy alimony. Core is man
of large income. well known in business
circles.

quarterly report upon the condition of the
spring crops in the United States.

the nights are too cool.
Potatoes are raised to considerable ex-
