Mrs Padelford Seeks a Divorce.

Mira Edward Padelford mas stated to her
| frende very elnpha!ically that she proposes
10 get O divorce from her husband, and
society is industriousy discussing this ex-
t1emely interesting announcement Mrs.
Psdeford was Miss McFeetere, of Bali-
! moro, an0 was married there some seven or
eight years ego Pedelford st that time was
also residen. OF Baltimore and man Of
large fortune.
A Ye2r or SO after lte marriage MIR. and
| Airs. Padelford seem to have come to some
agreement TO live apart. At least for sew
eral years Mrs Padefotd hss spent her time
in Europe, and ber husbend has made her
au allowance cut OF his handsome income.
! Recpntly, however, she returned to this
country, and this winter has been seen q
good deal at the opera and at various social
entertainments.
The story goes that upon her return Mrs.
Psdelford discovered that her husband had
been psying marked attention 10 6 woman
who at one time had been prominent in
scciety, but gho is prominent no longer, and
| thereupon determned that the separation
which Goth desired should be brought nbout
| bc her securing from him an absolute divorCe.
The Padeiiords originally cams from
! Providence, II l. The grandfather Of the
| fortncon3 ing defendant 10 what promises to
be sensational scciety divorce case, went
before the war, 10 Savannah, where be
made s. fortune as cotton factor. At his
death he was said to be worth over 50, 600, GOO.
Thi; is the fortune which his grandsons in
herited.
There we're TWO erandsons, and one of
them, Arthur PedeifoTd, married Betty Ord.
way, who is now singing the leading soprano
:ole in Tho Seven Ages" at the Standard
Theatre The two men spent their money
very lavishly, but after while called halt
and invested the million or so that they had
left, so thet their joint income is between
500 100 and $4,000
In tho contest society people, and part'cu-
larry society women, are standing ungues
tionebly by Mrs PSdeiford. She IVES re-
ceived here very cordially on her return
from Europe snd has been invited every
where She is described as charming wo
man and devotedIy attached to the little
girl. WHO ie the cDly child Of her marriage
to Padelford.
The woman who viii! be named as CO re.
spondeut is said not to be the woman to
whom Padelfords attentions have been so
ffeQuent and devoted during lhe past year
or so, but woman Of nc position whatever.
Hs friends declare that the divorces proceed
iDae are brought for TO purpose whatever
except 10 force him into makiug larger
allowance 20 his wife from his income than
otherwise he would.
OF course ifsho is able to eecure su abso-
luie divorce from him under the laws of
this State the court would not only award
very handsome coursal fee. but cut oil her
husbands income of $32 900 year would
certainly give her very ,nuch more than
50 900, particularly in visw Of the fact that
out of that she will have to support and edu
cate her child.-N Y. World.

separable companions. The Stocktons
are very hospitable and frequently enter
tain their neighbors and friends Fl IN
New York.
Every device has been used 70 persuade
Mr.. Stockton 20 inform curious world
whether il was the lady or the tiger
which issued from the door. Mrs. Stock
ton tells of Boston hostess who had
planned 10 trap the author in the follow
ing way. She invited Mr. and Mrs.
Stockton TO dinner, and intended to have
the ice cream in two molds-one in the
shape of lady and the other formed as
a tiger She then intended TO ask Mr..
Stockton from which design he would
take his cream. BY some chance, how
ever, the dinner never came off, and the
great question is still unanswered.
The reader may possibly. be familiar
with Prince Hassak's March," one OF
Mr.. Stockton's stories. When called upon
for contribution 10 an authors read
ing recently given in New York Mr.
Stockton chose that, but unfortunately
for his auditors he would never take the
prize as an elocutionist. The audience
naturally concluded that this particular
story was an amusing one, for the reason
that nearly all his stories are. This
much only was CLEANED from his reading,
that the story commenced with seventeen
conyicts and four jailers and ended with
no convicts and eight jaiiers.
Stockton is methodical toiler, usually
devoting the early part of each day to
his writing He suffers at times with
weak eyes, and during these occasions he
dictates his stories to his wife.

The Russian sculptor snd socialist, KAN
ensici, who for sixteen years ha teuud e
refuge IA the United States, A+tsarts atten-
tioa by tbe depth of 3 scar over his right
eyebrow. This scar is not connected with
some romantic tale Of Siberian horror. It
is the result of kick OF a Kansas mule
No little surprise was created at the time
that II did not cause instant death. II
came, however, very near doing so. The
sculptor was taken up unconscious, and
when his reason returned he was told that
he was about 10 die. In semi-comatose
state he mGde his last will and awaited the
end. Meanwhile over the wires flashed the
news of the assassination of she Gear Alex
ander. A friend who knew kamenski's 8
principles vowed that he should not die
without hearing the news, and, evading
the doctor in attendance, she cautiously
stole to his bedside and whispered in his
ear the fate Of the autocrat. The fast chill
ing blood became warmed and pulsed glee-
fully through the feeble heart, life was re-
neWed and Kamensh recovered.-Epoch.
