A WOMAN sCoRNED.
Mrs. Hughes-H allet Rakes Her
Dissipated Spouse.

Dissipated Spouse.
. LONDON, Jan. Mrs. Hughes-Hal-
let, formerly Miss Emily Schaumberg,
OF Philadelphia. sad to reporter
to-day: II see my husband has
been good enough to deny
in some New York papers
that he is about to bring proceedings for
a divorce. He would not dream of such
thing so long as | have penny.
Quite to the contrary. He has been,
and is now, moving heaven for recon-
Citation. Thank God, though, he can
reach me only by letter, for he dare not
come to this house. He has too
in watching for his appearance.
After the disgusting Selwyn affair 1 at
once revoked the power of attorney
had given to my husband, which per-
mitted his absolute control over my
American property. 1t is needless for
me to say that this power was given
him in the early days of my foolish
marriage, when my mother, as well
as myself, supposed he was worthy
of our confidence. We gave him
unreservedly trusting him in every
thing. Very soon | found my money
being dissipated. Then realized that
meath the same roof with my husbands
mistress. About this time Mr.. Chandler
appeared as my husbands advocate. My
husband brought him home with him,
and he was installed as go-between with
my husband and the hungry crowd. He
was left i'll the house to ward off the
bailIffS. My mother was with me during
the entire time of my husbands alb
SeDce. and, under such circumstances, [
saw no reason to object to the continued
presence of my husbands friend.
In fact, / did not give the mat
ter any thought. My husbnnd put
him there, and there he remained.
Soon after Mr.. HugheS-Hallett's return,
eral thousand pounds for the purpose,
so it was urged, of saving him from
some terrible exposure, of which he APP
peared to stand in the most des-
perate awe. MRS. Bloomfield-M
called upon me and Said-I can
distinctly recall her words: What
can do for you? l will raise
$4,000 OH your jewels and pictures. if
you so desire, l know that my income
would permit me to repay the loan 10y
degrees i'll yearly payments of E1,2O0.
In short, was to give up that sum ev-
cry year because | had been mad
enough to marry man who had
never given me anything but his
name, and that he has dropped in
the gutter. My reason for insist
ing upon all absolute separation from
my husband is this trouble about the
Selwyn money. 1t has caused end
less modification and the most poignant
heartaches. 1t is the elimination of
long experience of infamies that no
woman can tolerate indefinitely.

NEW York, Jan. 2.-The body of
Matron McAuliffe, of the Tombs prison,
was found in the East river this morn
ing. Matron McAuliffe had been suffer
ing from la grippe for the past three
days, and her friends seem to think that
while deliriOus she left her bed at home
about midnight last night, walked to the
river and threw herself in. She was
about fOrty-fve years old. Sullivan IL
Blake, lawyers, who L ad done business
for Mrs. McAuIitfe, received four pos
tai cards to-day, Which had evidently
been written yesterday. The first read:
Il am mad. do not know what am do
ing. Give all my effects to my relatives.
Yours, SARAH MCAULIFFE.
The others seemed to be intended as
directions for the distribution of Mrs.
McAulitfe's little property. Each was
more incoherent than its predecessors,
and the last was entirely meaningless.
Mrs. McAuliffe had been suffering from
a severe attack of influenza and had
also been respondent over her transfer
from the tOmbs to another prison. Dur
ing the night she left her bed and par
tally dressed herself and jumped into
the river.

LUCK Y AMERICAN WOMEN.
An Austrian Regards the United
States as the Eldorado of Wom-

An Austrian Regards the United
States as the Eldorado of Wom-
ankind.
In North America, says a writer in
the Freie Presse. of Vienna, woman
stands in many ways above man. North
America, especially the United States,
is the Eldorado of womankind. No oc-
cupation is closed to the American
woman. To be sure, have never seen
female choppers of wood, nor female
placksmiths, nor female congressman,
nor female aldermen. The last two di-
versions are forbidden women by law.
But II women never fell trees in the
pflmeyal forest, nor tame horses, nor
perform other heavy work, it is simply
because they don't wish to do it, not be-
cause they can't.
Owing to the fact that American girls
pass more years at school and college, on
the average, than American boys, the
American women are generally much
better educated than American men.
The American woman is the standard
bearer of American culture and the
patroneSs of the arts and sciences and
and education of the American woman
explains completely the consideration
and respect with which she is treated
by American men. The Amer
lean husband treats his wife with the
greatest consideration, which, unfortu-
nately, can not be said of the German
husband.
The American woman is generally
beautiful. or at least understands how
to make herself look SO. [ have not
seen such beautiful women anywhere
else-Old women, too. with magnificent
white hair. The American girl knows
how to dress herself tastefully and
stylishly. She knows how to make the
simplest garment fetching by means
of q little bow or fold or flower. All
the homage which is paid the American
woman in private and public life has,
however. its very shady side. To give
up your seat to a woman in horse car
is now and then trifle uncomfortable.
To wait to have your baggage checked
till woman who arrived after you had
been attended to is in the highest degree
burdensome. To be delayed at hotel
table while women who come in late to
dinner are served, is almost unbearable.
There are also many other occasions on
which the man must step aside for the
woman in America. Custom demands
1T, and custom in America is mightier
than law.

FIVE CENTS FOR EACH OATH.
A California Society Devises q
New Use for the Slot Machine.

San Francisco Chronicle.
''There is too BANKED much swearing
going ON in this establishment" said
the manager of a downtown wholesale
house to his clerks the other day, ''and,
by blank, I'm going to put stop to it,"
you'll have to begin with YOURSELF"
mildly suggested an assistant.
"Well, maybe so: but it isn't polite to
swear too much. All you fellows swear
as If you were in mining camp. It's
got to be stopped, blank blank it. Here
comes Jones from the store across the
street. Perhaps he can suggest rem
cay, though he Swears as much as any
of u.s."
When the problem was propounded to
Jones he twisted the end Of his umbrella
around on the end OF his shoe for
minute and said: Chow would an anti
swearing association do? You don't
need TO have any regular organization.
just get the boys to put their names
down on piece OF paper, and fine every

for each oath he utters."
Good scheme" said the manager, and
the Anti-SWearing Association of San
Francisco was formed then and there.
In the course of the day many grocery
UIOhCIS anu 1TQUl
different houses had 81 ned TIE men,
bership roll, and the next thing was to
settle upon the amount of the fines and
the manner of imposing them. 1t was
agreed that for each oath nickel should
be forfeited, and that the money should
be given to the FoundIing's home.
We'll have boxes with slots in them
put in all the stores and take the money
out once month, suggested 4 member.
Second the motion. That's blanked
good idea"
"Nickel. please" said the chairman,
and the secOnder of the motion sup
sided.
Other members did not approve the
box plan and there was a hot wrangle,
during which the chairman collected
S1.20. 1t was finally decided that the
plan was the best one proposed and it
was adopted.
All day yesterday a singular quiet
reigned in the place of business where
the slotted box was hung up, some of
the blue blaZes swearers among the
clerks, brokers, and others being afraid
to speak for fear of dropping an oath
and a nickel. The Anti-Swearng asso-
citation considers everything i'll the line
