DIssIPATING HIS FORTUNE.
william II. Blakeney Sued for Divorc
by His Wife.

by His Wife.
NYAcK, n. ", Jan. AFTER nearly
twenty-five years married life Mrs. Iar-
rict Blakency has sued for absolute di-
vorce from her husband, William IL.
complaint covers period Of two years,
and names but one correspondent, Il woman
with whom Mr.. Blakency is alleged to be
now living in hotel at Havcrstraw.
Bakeney has put in no defense.
Judge Dykman, at White Plains, last
Saturday, adjourned the hearing ON
amotion hy Mrs. Blakency's counsel for
alimony and counsel fees. Blakcney',s
lawyer avcrrcd he could not find his
client.
Blakeney Is the only brother of the
peerless beauty, Nine. Muzard, the favor
itc of the late King Of Holland. All old
New York residents will remember the
story Of her adventurous life. When she
died about twelve years ago the prlnccly
fortune which she accumulated came into
the possession of her parents. They were
Tappan, n. y. From them the money
descended to the defendant in these pro-
cecdings and to Mrs. Charles Pike of First
Place, Brooklyn.
Ordinary thrift would have male
William worth half million dollars to-
day, but his career has been one OF tho
widest dissipation. lie is a typical sport
in manner and dress, talks ''horse," bets
freely and never learned the value of
money. Two years agothc courts decide
he was unfit 10 have control of his prop
eity, adiudged him an habitual drunkanl
and appointed trustee to care for his
estate
Later this order was resclndcl and he
has since been more than ever reckless
with his funds. Mrs. Blakeney isaquiet,
intelligent and refined woman, who lives
in scmi-rctircmont in Il handsome home,
the former residence OF Broker Allyn, in
! Nyack, She has son and daughter, both
married.
A few months ago she caused her hu5.
bands arrest for stealing her watch and
some silk dresses and presenting them to
| other women. Blakeney was then on
one of his most hilarious sprces, and
smashed things generally in their beauti,
ful home. The property was recovered
and proceedings against him dropped.
| Counsellor G, y. Hoffman of Nyack has
! been retained by Mrs. Blakeney.

In ANOTHER COLUMN of this issue OF The
CnTIc we reprint from the .trmy and
Nary Gazette of London, England an ex-
eellent ana interesting communication
about the subaterns in the British navy.
Whilst the particulars of complaint are
'lifertnt in some respects there is the
same discomfort in the British navy as in
,nrs. There il the same awkward and
dtmoralizing fact that the personnel Of the
service is deteriorating in efficiency and
moI0ic The hUpelcssness of promotion,
the retention of men in subordinate posi-
iions long after they have passed the age
suited to such places and their duties, the
consequent death of enthusiasm, and the
gradual creation of u rcrfunctory service
founded on despair-those are the cle-
mcnts combining to produce n lcTment in
England as well as here.
II appears that in both countries the
same shor-sighted policy prevails. Eng
land has the best navy in the world and
We, following in her footsteps as regards
material, promise ourselves within u few
years to rank with England. But why
should We also follow England in me-
slecting the personnel of the Navy and
permitting the brain, the spirit, the vital
principle of the service to fall into a par
aiysi9 This is a question which our
conpessmcn should ask themselves.
And they cannot ask Il too soon.

Ninety Miles an Hour.

A mile in 80 As seconds or at the rate
of over ninety miles an hour is the fast
est run ever made by railroad train.
This unparalleled feat was accomplished
the other day on the Bound Brook rail-
road between Neshaminy Falls, Penn.
and Langhorne by engine No. 206,
drawing two ordinary coaches and Presi-
dent McLeod's private car "Reading,"
which Is equal to two coaches in weight.
Other miles were reeled off with speed
as astonishing as this crack mile, and at
the second of the ''fy" the worlds
record was broken. The fastest mile
was scored in 80 As seconds. The fast
est five miles in three minutes, 26 As
seconds. The fastest ten miles in seven
minutes, twelve seconds, averaging forty
tt rec seconds per mill. The occasion
fYr this race against t.. e grew out of
! pine good natured chah.ng that took
place at Judge Green's dinner to the
Farmers Club at the judges residence
in Easton. William NJ. Singerly was
telling Mr.. Mcleod, the President of the
Reading Railroad Company, that for
hiisSSh yCoio hC nad OCCu ~ u
diversion to time fast railroad trains, and
that he had rarely Travelled faster than
fifty seconds. The result of the CONVEX
sation was that President Mcleod made
preparations for yesterdays speed trial
and invited Mr.. Singerly and number
of friends to ride on the train, consist
ing of an engine and three cars. The
engine was No. 206, of the Wootten pat
tern, burning anthracite coal. 1t has
five feet eight inch driving wheels, and
is one of the ordinary patterns of fast
engines in use on the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad. 1t was built at Read
ing, Penn, and stands to-day as tri-
umph of the skill of American mechan-
les. The locomotive was handled by
Engineer John Hogan, and the fires
were looked after by Oscar Feshner.-

an honest penny now and then pasturing
cows for his neighbors. Richard Roe has

death. The boat was also pulverized en-

The Old Paint Brushes.

"What becomes of all the old paint
brushesa" 1 heard curious individual
ask New York painter of prominence
recently. The answer was a revelation
to me, as it will be probably to many
readers of the Republic. "They ara
gathered up here in New York." was
the reply, "by one individual, who visits
all the shops regularly and buys them on
the same principle that the rag-picker
buys old rags. He takes them to his
shop, soaks them in chemical prepara-
tion and bleaches them. He then sells
them to the tooth brush manufacturers,
who make them up into tooth-brushes of
the finest and most costly brand"
The Gossiper does not tell this story
for the purpose of make teeth cleaning
unpopular, and he hopes that ladies with
beautiful teeth will continue on the best
of terms with their tooth powder aud the
little machine with which they apply it.

terror of the body to the exterior, or
vice versa. The electrode consists of a
fine wire, which is lnclosed in an india
rubber tube, terminating in a capsule.
The capsule is perforated so as to allow

from touching the coats of the latter
The patient drinks some water and

TO A CLOUD

Under the the bending mountain skies
lay, with half-shut, dreamy eyes,
In the sweetest NOR tn of spring.
When little cloud came so soft and white,
1t seemed but fleecy streak of light,
Or the fash of an angels wing.
had marked the mountains fitful mood,
Its tall head wrapped in fame-red hood.
Or its base in misty shroud;
But through all its cliffs where sunpeams
played.
And In all its shifting light and shade,
There wasnothing like the cloud.
So fair, SO far, it seemed to float,
With the airy grace of a white-winged boat
And the deep-blue sky for sea,
1t might have been that an angel crew
Were voyaging the distant blue
With the Pilot of Galilee.
o winsome ship of the upper sea,
My fettered thought looks up to thee,
In thy supernal place,
And longs thine airy decks to tread,
Thy cloudland-charted course to thread
Through realms of trackless space.
in vain does blinded science guess
The texture of thy dewy dress
With earthly mechanism
view thee through another glass,
And make thy borrowed beauty pass
Through Fancy's finer prism
But, alb no cloud-compelling Jove
WIN hear the prayers l breathe above
10 stay thy wayward fight;
And while strain my yearning eye,
Thy trailing banners through the sky
Are bidding me goodnight.
-Witliam Rice Sims, in Lippincott
