A New Chapter Of Proverbs.
London World

As pink pearl in scullion's ear, so Is
fair woman without good dressrnaker.
Whose telleth the truth concerning his
neighbor is not unfrequently liable to heavy
damages.
Better is o chop with a peer than seven
and-sixpenny dinner with a person of no
position.
Wllat is sweeter to soured woman than
the failings of her dearest friend?
My son, when thou writest a play, know
that thy pathos will be understanded by the
pit, thy wisdom by the dress circle, and thy
innuendo by them that sit among the stalls.

IT is satisfactory to observe that Senator
George Handy Smith obtained leave for his
Treasury Investigation Committee to con-
tinue its arduous labors after the adjourn
ment of the Legislature. The demands upon
the time of that honorable body were so
engrossing during the session that it was
only able to discover that the salary of the
State Treasurer requires a large increase

it may yet be able to find out something
about the fatuity which locates State funds
wherever there has happened to be politi-
cal bank wreck.

BOTH DESIRE THEM.
Angry Scene in Court in the Love
Case, as to Which Shall
HAVE THE CHILDREN IN CHARGE.
Nine Suits;for Divorce Entered Yesterday.
Keep the Mill Busy.
MIsCELLANEOUSNEwS FROM THE COURT

Yesterday morning was the time fixed for
hearing in the habeas corpus proceedings
of E. D. Love against his wife, M. D. Love,
to secure possession of his three children.
Mr.. Love was represented by G. A. Sullivan,
Esq, and Mrs Love by Attorneys Cassidy
and Richardson. A large crowd was present,
the case exciting much interest. Judges
Kennedy and Porter were on the bench.
The case was opened by Mr.. Richardson
answering in behalf of Mrs. Love. He de-
MED the charges made that she was an unfit
person to have charge of the children, or
that she was given to drunkenness and i'm
morality. The charges were not true, con-
tinued Mr.. Richardson, and were only made
to bolster up the suit Love has brought for
divorce. 1t was true that Mrs. Love had
left the children alone on one occasion, but
it was at time when her servants had left
her suddenly, at the instigation of her hus-
band she believed She had affairs to at
tend to, and left them provided for in every
manner and in good hands. AS to the drunk
enness, she denied it, and charged that her
husband was an habitual drinker, often to
the extent of drunkenness. Also that he
was not fit person to have the children,
and could not provide for them. The chill
dren were also too young to separate from
their mother, the Oldest being only five
years old. In conclusion, the Court was
asked to allow the children to remain with
the mother.
Attorney Sullivan remarked that his
client should be given time to make re-
plication to the charges contained In Mrs.
Loves answer. They were not true, and he
should be allowed time to answer them. 1t
was suggested that the hearing be continued
for that purpose. This was agreed to by
the Court. There was some discussion as to
fixing time. Attorney Cassidy wanted
the hearing to be held in private, but to this
Mr.. Sullivan objected.
Judge Porter said it would hardly be
practical as there would probably be large
number of witnesses. Mr.. Sullivan re-
marked that he had 80 witnesses Mr..
Richardson suggested that the case be al
lowed to go over until September, when
the testimony in the divorce proceedings
would be completed. In the meantime the
children could remain with their mother.
Mr.. Sullivan said that the matter should
be settled speedily in the interest of the
children. ''Only last night" he said
pointing to the oldest child, ''that boy, only
years old, was found across the railroad
tracks in Wilmerding at 1880 o'clock at
night, fast asleep in a machine shop, while
this mother was in East Liberty with
male friend.''
Mr.. Richardson objected to Mr. Sullivan
giving testimony, but Mr.. Sullivan said he
could prove it. After some further discus
sion among the attorneys the Court fixed
next Friday morning for the hearing.
Mrs. Love, who was present, is a neat |
looking little woman with trim figure and |
an excellent complexion.

Atomic Dyspepsia.

Atomic dyspepsia is simply nervous pros
tration of the stomach. There is not usually
much pain, but feeling of great weight.
and sometimes faintness after each meal
followed by sour eructations and belchinp of
gas The bowels may be regular and anne
tlte good, but the weakened stomach. which
should be in constant movement after a
meal, lies dormant, allowing the food to
soon decompose instead of digesting. This
is very common form Of dyspepsia amonp
the mentally overworked class, whose nery.
Gus systems become depressed by long con-
tlnued strains and sedentary habits. IF
there is remedy in the whole range of
medicinal preparations that is in every mar
ticular adapted to this form of dyspepsia.
that remedy is Pe-ru-na. 1t not only acts
as an appetizer, but it Imparts to the
stomach the vigor to properly digest the
food by awakening the paristaltic move
