CURIOUS GROUND FOR A DIVORCE
VIM. Truesdale has been granted an abb
solute divorce at Beatrice, Neb., from
his wife Amelia on a curious charge.
The petition recites the fact that the
wife is an incorrigible gossip whose pro-
pcnsities for gossiping render life with
her unbearablc. Truesdalc AYERS that
in the three years he has lived with his
wife she has told 10000 lies. "She can
not tell the truth" he declares in his
petition, 'and while it is in the nature
of q disease, I believe it incurnble.
Hence l ask relief in a divorce"
Among the many interesting yarns
which his wife amused herself by tell
ing he filed these She told him that his
mother had just been found dead in bed,
murdered by unknown persons that
their nearest neighbor and best friend
had attempted q criminal assault upon
her that she had received q letter from
a lawyer In her old home telling her she
had inherited q fortune, and to send
him $50 at nee (she spent the money
for a new dress); that their little son
had fallen in the well and broken his
leg Che was asleep in the crib; that
their minister had eloped with a serv-
ant girl, leaving his wife and five child
rem destitute, which story, when repeat
ed by him, was the means of costing
him 500 and q deal of trouble to keep
from being convicted of criminal libel.
These are hut n few of the charges
brought by the husband, the s%ubstanti-
alton of which proved his wife II of
the most accomplished liars living, and
not a whit scrupulous.

loon. and that when the airship had reached

earth by means of a parachute attached 10 the

The announcements of the proposed feat had
caused considerable talk among the people,
and at the hour set for the ascension . large
crowd Of curious persons had assembled about
the spot where the balloon was Juggling and
straining at the stout cords which held its
CAPTIVE. When all was in readiness the wom-
an gave q signal and the restraining ropes
were cut away. The balloon with a great
bound arose into the air amid the loud and
enthusiastic cheering of the spectators.
Every movement of the fearless woman
WAS watched with intense interest and us she
prepared to make the dangerous jump the

reached an altitude of at least 300 feet she
climbed out of the basket and freeing the
parachute attempted To start on her dizzy
Journey carthward. To the dismay Of the

machine had become unTanageable, and that
the IN was about to be dashed to death.

spray high into the air. Number of persons
ut once secured boats and hurried to the res

turbanccs have broken out i'll Fukicn, Il
province of Eastern China, and in Sec

adjoining Human, which is notorious for
anti-foreigners and Il mutinous spirit to

Details of the trouble at Fukien come
from two citics-Chinwha and kien-
ming. On April 81 a house occupied by
missionaries of the Church of England
Church Society in Chingwha City was
attacked by a mob assembled by the
leading military men in the place. AZ
ter being exposed to insults Of the moi
for three hours, the ladies, Miss john
son and Miss B. Ncwcomb, were res
cucd by a mandarin and taken in chairs
to Yamcn. Next day the moi was so
fierce that the mandarin insisted upon
the ladies leaving town.

and d~ispcnsary in Kicnning City was
attacked and completely wrecked by a
mob of hired rullians in The pay of a
leading literary mar of that city, Chic

premises. narrowly escaped II horrible
death. The patients, students and
Others in the building escaped by n
back door. DR.. Rigg being the last to
leave remaining until he was dragged
out by one of four soldiers sent by the
local mandarin to protect the place.
A fresh anti-missionary demonstra-
ton is reported from Szechuan. Large
quantities of literature of the some
stamp rs the famous Human publica-
tons arc being offered for sale, with
the object of stirring up the people
against missionaries. At Shunching a
few more aggressive measures have
been taken. There, after attempts to
boycott missionaries, the roofs were re-
moved from their houses, and as they
apparently did not take this as a hint to
quit they were carried outside the city.
| The movement is said to have been in
spired by the viccroy, and has the sup
port of the gentry of the district.
