action for damages. She was married
in 1856, she says. at the are of IL i,
and her mother-in-law conspired to
bring about separation. When in
Mrs. Wilson's presence, she claims,
she WAS the constant object of that
persons severe and approbious criti-
cism, and when absent from her Mrs.
Wilson wrote 10 her son periodically,
advising him Ia leave his wife. Mrs.
Stone claims that her husband de-
serted her at the instigatiOn of his
mother in December last. and that for
more than a year previous to that
time she had supported both her hus-
band and herself. Her mother-in-law,
she charges. has alienated the afiec-
tion> of her husband and deprived her
of his society and support. And in
return therefor she thinks Mrs. Wilson
should he compelled To pay her s20,-

Better Times at Hand.

improvement in the financial situa.
tion, says the Chicago Herald, is now
an assured fact. The hope of a month
ago that conditions would grow better
has given place to the realization that
they are better. The country is lift.
ing itself out of the slough OF despond
into which it had drifted. The signs
of improvement are visible everywhere.
Many OF the banks which suspended
have reopened their doors and are
again doing business at the old stand.
The banks which did rot suspend, but
which had to refuse accommodations
in order to weather the storm, are
now loaning money and meeting all
demands. In New York there has
been large increase in the reserves
and the issuance OF Clearinghouse GER
tificates has ceased, though those in
circulation have not yet been retired.
Mills and factories which shut down
in the early summer are starting up
again and thousands of workmen are
once more finding employment. The
atmosphere Of the business world is
clearing up and the sunlight of conf
dence is driving back the clouds OF
gloom and distrust.
Beyond question this welcome i'm
provement in business conditions is
due in large measure to the returning
confidence Of the people.
