otherwise he looks straight before him

WALKED INTO \ TRAP.
A Green-Goods Man Betrayed by a
Chicken Hearted Youth.

Chicken Youth.
There was struggle between de-
tective and green-goOds man on Sat
urday evening, in the room of the
intended victim of the swindler, at the
Sheridan house, the chief hotel at EliZ-
abeth, n. j. Early in the day young
man, who said that his name was Frank
Howard, twenty years old, of Bethle-
hem, Penn, called at police
headquarters and asked to see
Chief Tenny. says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph. He saId that
evening at the Sheridan house, where
Howard had registered under the as
Sumed name of Charles Wood, as d.
rected by the circular which he had
received from +. l.. Fisher, No. 2114
Eighth avenue, this city. His expected
visitor was 10 guide him to a place in
New York. where he could make his
bargain for the bogus money.
Howard said that the circulars had
not been sent to him. but to a dry goods
merchant named Bowman. of Bethle-
hem. Bowman had taken Howard into
his confidence, and it was agreed be-
tween them that Howard should go to
Elizabeth, get all the money he could
from the green goods dealer, and then
turn the tables on the man by not pay
ing him for the stuff. If the green
goods man objected seriously he was to
be turned over to the police.
Howard started on his mission, but
his courage failed him when he reflected
on his prospective tusSle with the swim
der, and finally he decided to consult
the chief of police. Chief Tenny, after
hearing the story, sent Howard back to
hrs room in the hotel, and quietly snug
gltd Detective Decker into the room,
WI ere the officer concealed himself In a
closet. Detective McGrail was placed
on guard outside the hotel, ready to in
tercept the green-gOOdS man, should he
escape from the room, while the chief
81 toned himself within easy reach aud
az aited developments.
GbOut & O'Clock the green-gOOdS man
entered the hotel, quickly gladced over
the register and started direct for Room
2,where his intended victim was. He en-
;ered it, greeted the occupant effusively
and announced his mission, which was
to conduct Howard at once to New
York, and told the latter that they must
hurry so as to get the next train. At
this moment the detective pounced
on the visitor. who at once showed
fight, and Il sharp struggle followed,
until the officer. finally breaking away,
drew his revolver and leveled it at the
sharper, when the latter surrendered
and submitted to be handcutfed and led
out of the hotel. During the struggle
Howard, instead of going to the officers
assistance, stood in corner, his knees
shaking and his face pale.
The prisoner said that his name was
Frank Williams. This was all that he
would say. He is locked up in cell at
police headquarters at Elizabeth. How
ard was sent home on train last even
ing. He had 500 in his pocket, which
he undoubtedly would have lost had he
undertaken to cope single-handed with
his New York acquaintance. He had
sent the latter telegram the day be-
fore leaving home and another one
when halfway on his journey to Eliza
beth. both addressed 10 E. l.. Fisher,
this being the arrangement as laid down
in the circular.

OF course, when plaintiffs remove to a
distant state they always want an abso-

a separation from bed and board only.
1t is we'll to note that Arizona, Cali

To Induce Humility in a Pea

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
If you wish to take the conceit out of
a peacock pull out his tail feathers.an
as he finds the glory of his piumage
gone, he becomes the humblest, most
subdued and misunderstanding bird that
ever walked the earth. A peacock in
full feather is so vain and conceited as
sometimes to he really trouble
some. Not satisfied with squalling
at the top of his dlscordant voice,
and with parading himself through the
yard and up and down the walks with
expanded plumage, he will attack cats,
dogs and even children, and has been
known to seriously injure small boys or
girls that were incautious enough to
venture within his reach. Plucking his
tail feathers, however, causes all his
courage to evaporate. He will sneak
around the yard like whipped spaniel,
will keep out of sight as much as possi-
BILE, aud YOU will hear nothing of him
until his plumage has again grown.

Slight causes. Some judges are always
dead set against divorces, while others
favor them.
Colorado and Montana both grant
divorces for one years drunkenness,
or deSertiOn, or extreme cruelty. The
causes III Oregon are cruel and inhu-
man treatment, personal indigniteS

drunkenness contracted since mar
rlage. In Illinois it is necessary for
the plaintiff to show the existence of
extreme and repeated cruelty, two years.

Rhode Island, IL; Vermont, l6; New

compute the ratio for the bannerd divorce

Sixth Month States.

A six months residence will entitle
the plaintiff to sue for a divorce in Ari-
zona, California, Idaho. Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Mexico, Texas and Wyo-
ming. A large number of states fix the
term at one year. The best of these are
Colorado, Illinois,, Kansas, Missouri,
Montana, Oregon, Rhode Island, Wash
ington and Wisconsin.
When the plaintiff has selected the
locality which suits him best, he must
not forget to take with him sufficient
proof of his allegations to entitle him to
a divorce under the laws of that partic-
ular state. This evidence may consist
of his own sworn statements, together
with the dispositions of some other wit
neSSes, if they cannot attend the trial in
person. -s.e.s q ..>s..,
In Dakota the following reasons are
deemed sufficient grounds. for divorce:
Marital infidelity-which will secure alb
SOlute divorce in every state and terri

vorce is not allowed for any reason
excessive cruelty, willful des ertiOn and
neglect for one year, and habitual in

The glorious climate of California is
excellent alike for the body and for di-
vorce. Absolute separation is granted
there for one years willful desertion,

Extreme cruelty is also cause, but the

the Detroit Sunday News.
All the states and territories except
Georgia, Louisiana and Delaware spec
ify the necessary length of time during
which the plaintiff must have lived in
the state in order to be able to bring an
action for divorce. This period varies
from ninety days for Dakota to five
years for Massachusetts. Time in these
DAYS often means great deal of money,
and that is why Dakota divorces occupy
so much attention at present, and it is
solely for this reason that she has the
advantage over a number of other states

''to allow such valuable property to lie idle,
and an eyesore to the community when it
could be so advantageously used. Mr..
Bigelow is now paying considerable sum,

The Fifth avenue market building would
accommodate both, and there would still be
plenty of space left which could be utilized
for police or fire engine house. Mr..
Brown could easily sell the engine house
property, short distance from the market
house, and move the department further out,
or he could dispose of the Eleventh ward
station house and move that branch of the
service to the old market. But probably
the best way to dispose of the matter would
be to sell the property. 1t would bring
good figure if properly handled, and have
