ISTHIS JERSEY JUSTICE?
A Man May Abuse His Wife in Those
Regions.
SAY TWELVE GOOD MEN AND TRUE
Perhaps Jersey Women May Conclude to

Lunches are Fashionable.

From time long way back Jersey
Justice" has been the proud synonym for
well, for lots OF queer things. There
was added 10 its archives recently ver-
dict which was distnchvely Jersey, and
which will create a sensation among all
the married people In all tho other States.
Patrick Mullen was arragned before JUS
tice Kreuger, Of Carlstadt, on n charge of
wife-beating. jury was drawn and
lawyers from Hackensack defended Mu-
peared for Mrs. Mullen. After an enor.
nous amount OF evidence had been given
in behalf OF the plaintiff. the jury went
out. They soon returned and said that
they had agreed that man had per-
feet right to abuse his wife. IL he did not
have control Of what belonged to him,
then he could obtain divorce.
The result OF this verdict will probably
be that in n short time there will be few
married women in New Jersey and few
married men in tho other States. unless
the justices OF the latter should adopt
this ruling as precedent, In which case
we should have more paragraphs in our
newspapers similar TO the following, from
the cable news Of the week:
YIENNA-Four women have been ar
rested at Szenttamas, Hungary, on the
charge OF poisoning their husbands and
selling poisons to other women for a SINH
lar purpose.

for the work he always found nS~Aty of

A part Of every season she spends with
her husband in mining camp, for he is n
miner of the first degree, wealthy and
daily accumulating more of the bright
gold in his mines of Aspen. Their home
in this camp is a picture in itself, and
many Of the valuable things picked up in
the different parts of the world find them
selves settled most comfortably in this
out-of-the-way home nook.
The gay season of the year Mrs. Sayr
spends in the city of Denver where there
is an incessant round OF dinners, teas, re-
ceptions, balls and every other sort of So
ciety gaiety.
The first meeting Of the Ladies' Health
Protective Association was exceptionally
well attended, and though the day was
rainy and disagreeable, the meeting
proved TO be the most interesting one on
record. The chairman of each committee
gave lengthy report on the summers
work, performed by her particular body
of women, every report being filled with
rich memoranda of the good service done.
Just before the adjournment one enthusi-
astie worker rose and said ut is quite
plain to the citizens of New York that
when they fail TO rid the city of IA nui-
sance by applying TO the Health Board or
the chief magistrate, all they need to do is
to notify the Ladies' Health Protective
Association"

Now Is the time TO start your bulbs In
glasses for the winters bloom. Growing
them In Yates Of water Is popular for two
reasons In the first place, II il n pleasure

clean way OF obtaining a goodly show Of
beautiful flowers. 1t requires, moreover.
no horticultural knowledge or skill as any
one may be successful by observing a
few obvious rules. 1t must be remembered
always that in order to produce fine flow-
ers oil bulbs must first form their roots |;
and as the darkness prevents the top
growth OF the plant, but rather aids that
mysterious process OF root making that is
generally In plant life carried on under
the friendly cover OF the earth, IL is better
to place the glasses In cool cellar or
closet. where there Is at the same time
plenty Of air, until the roots are we'll
formed and the plant begins to sprout
The water In the glasses should Just reach,
not touch the bulbs, and after they have
been brought into the room where they
are to flower they should be kept in a
place where IL will not be too hot. They
like rather a low temperature. although
requiring plenty OF air and light. In
choosing your bulbs, select those that are
hard and heavy. as for window plants you
will want the very best.

What is the reason one hears m public
places the loud voices Of women so much
oftener than men?
Women-these loud voiced ones-see1n
10 have the fancy that they cannot be
seen unless the.s are heard And so they
can't-in their true character. If it were
not that their words and laughter foated
out into space and above the hmm Of all
other voices they really might at some
time get mistaken Cor ladies. From
their looks no one would imagine for an
instant that they were common, i'll bred
and vulgar.
\ quiet fash Of intelligence from their
eyes, accompanied by an appreciative
smile, would really convince an onlooker
that possibly it was the forerunner of

from the boisterous laughter. and no ap-
precistion Of Wit in others. Chicago

ST. Louis TO Colorado via wichita.

Commencing Sunday, July 13,lS90, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account OF "A great many peo-
pie from the east going TO Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
inc car service from here TO Colorado. Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita toSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people chance to go east via
Wichita This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route Just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line TO st. Louis or

them TO do so, and all because Of those

A supply of the envelopes was easily

wsTden's portion OF it, Bachman one day
discovered that an old man, William
Phelps by name, who Is serving life
term for murder, had several hundred
dollars on deposit IN the warden's hands
Bachman had been spending his money
in royal, spendthrift way, and found
his exchequer in low ebb. Here was a
chance to recoup, and to play stroke
worthy of his genius and opportunities
He gained the confidence of the old
man, told him he had influential friends
and promised TO get him pardoned. Then
the clever frebuS sent for lawyer and
told him of the case and interested him
in Phelps. Later on Bachman gave the
lawyer an order On the warden for :.
considerable sum OF money, with Phelps
signature attached and also a note of
approval bearing al officers signature.
The order was taken to the warden.
who wrote check for the amount, and
was about to give it TO the lawyer when
an officer standing by suggested that it
would be wise TO send for Phelps and
see if it was all right. The officer was
not suspicious, but simply familiar with
his surroundings.
Phelps was sent for and denied ever
having written the order. 1t was ex-
a7nined and found to be forgery. Then
the officer who had approved the order
was summoned, and denied as emphat-
ically that he had signed the note of ap-
prevail. This was also found to he
forgery.
A lirtie further investigation was sug-
gested, and, although rather unprece-
dented, was carried out, and it was
found that Bachlnan was the author Of
both Of the forgeries.-San Francisco

Future of wheat in America.

We have had run Of prosperity for
some years, and had been RECALLED with
the thought that we had more food ma
terid than the nation co1Ia consume,
and as much 10 spare as the rest Of the
world might want to buy The indica-
tons are that the day Of heavy surplus
production is fast wsning. Our wheat
crop in 1874 was the magnificent total of
512, $50, 900 bushels. It has not kept at
the upper notch, and in the year 1889 it
figured maximum yield Of 400, SOC, 900
bushels. We have q greater population
by nearly 15.009,o 600 tnan a decade ago,
and the increase Of home consumption

WHEN THE NEW WEARS OFF.

He was youth, and she, maid.
Both happy, young and gay,
They loved-and life to them was fair
AS one continuous May
The croakers saw this happiness,
And said "Ah, love is blind;
You're happy now, but care will come,
When the new wears of. you'll find"
They married, and then their life grew rich
With calmer. ripper JOY;
They were as man and wife more fond
Than when as girl and boy.
Their friends could not endure the sight,
And said, with worldly wit,
at will not be so bright and fine
When the new wears of a bit
All well, the new wore OF, of COURSE
And then, what did they find!
An oldness which was better far,
For Love is not so blind
As selfish Care; and loving hearts
New joys will always meet,
So when the new wears of, they'll find
Old love the more complete.
