Matrimonial separations In Egypt.


The liveliest divorce centers of the
west have to take second place when
compared with matrimonial separations
in Egypt, according to the accounts Of
the American consul to the land Of the
Nile. He tells of alteration that
took place between one of his most trust
ed servants and yelled lady, his wife,
which squabble resulted i'll a divorce i'll
less than five minutes. The scene
opened with reproaches emanating from
the woman. Take care, !" warned the
man. 81 put you from meW Nothing
daunted, the virago continued until the
exasperated man again repeated, II put
you from me. Still the torrent Of
abuse flowed necessarily. Worried be-
You'd endurance, the servant entered the
house and secured 80 shillings out of
his years salary of e10, and returning
to the woman said: Here is your dow
ry Now for the third and last time
I repeat, I put you from me- +" At
these words the woman went her way,
and the astonished American learned
that he had witnessed divorce proceed
ings, for in Egypt the assertion, II put

wife by her husband, constitutes sol
emn divorce without alimony, and once
the words are said the woman has no
right to any further support from the

COLOR HEARING.
Or. CoIman's Interesting Theory About the
Relation of Sounds to Color.

Or. Coiman's Interesting Theory About the
Relation of Sounds to Color.
John Locke's blind man, who hazard
cd the guess that the color scarlet was
probably something like the sound Of q
trumpet, is generally thought to have
simply spoken according to his lights,
or rather lack of lights, but 1t appears
from Dr. w. S. Colman's articles on
this subject that we have now laid the
foundation of a science of color hearing.
The term is defined by him as applying
70 the special case in which q color sem
sation is excited by some auditory slim
ulus-as, for example, by the pronun-
citation of the vowel sounds. It is not q
matter of association, as in the case Of
the ''shrill squeak" evoked by the fling
of saw or the drawing of slate PEN
Gil down a slate. DIR. Colman estimates
the number of people who possess the
faculty of color hearing as under IL
per cent and mentions case described
by Flournoy, in which the vowel 81"
awakened the impression of an orange
circle with an ''i' in black In the GEN.
ter ri s
Theophile Gautier, under the infiu-
ence of hasheesh, heard the sound equiv
alents (whatever they may have been) Of
various colors. The notion is, at all
events, of respectable antiquity. DR..
Colman cites as believers in color hear
ing Hoffman, Goethe and Hans Sachs
and refers to the case of st. Catharine
of Siena, who had bright red color
sensation whenever she saw or thought
of the host" The Lancet, which COM
ments learnedly on DIR. Colman's thee
ries, feels disposed to think that the red
ribbon which adorns the dark blue bon
net of the female members Of the Sal
walton Army is a parallel case and not
difficult to explain on the principles Of
conventional metaphor. London News.

onds of Corbett were continually break
ing into the ring to control him.
Mitchell seemed like child in COM
parison with Corbett, but he gave the
champion a good battle, and in. the
opinion Of several good judges had a
slight advantage in the first round.
He was many pounds lighter than his
opponent, and lacked the height and
reach of the man from California, who
has climbed to the topmUst round of
the pugilistic ladder and finds himself
In the position of Alexander, with no
new worlds to conquer. In the second
and third rounds Corbett showed his
superiority and beat the plucky En-
glishman into insensibility.
After the victory Joe Vendig ap-
preached Corbett and suggested that
1t would be a graceful thing for him
to patch up his quarrel with Mitchell.
Corbett hung back for moment and
then concluding that the victor could
afford to be generous approached his
late antagonist and said There's my
hand. Mitchell, and I'll treasure up no
animosity toward you.
OF Interna tional Interest.
All things considered, the battle be-
tween James j. Corbett and Charles
Mitchell Is the most important event
in the annals of the prize ring. 1t
marks the turning point in fistic ath-
letics. Corbett belongs to the new
scientific boxers, representing per-
haps the most advanced ideas In the
line OF pugilists. Mitchell, while not
strictly identified with the old line, re-
ceived his earliest impressions and
much Of his earlier training from the

HANGED FOR MURDER.
George II. Painter Dies on the ScafroId In
Chicago.

George H. Painter Dies on the ScafYold In
Chicago
George III. Painter was hanged in
Chicago Friday morning at s o'clock
for the murder of Alice Martin.
Painters attorneys made desperate
effort to save his life, and the con-
demned man was twice reprieved by
Gov. Altgeld on the strength of alleged
new evidence of his innocence. The
Governor, however, finally decided that
this evidence was not of sufficient
weight to warrant executive interfer-
ence and the sentence and the law was
! carried out. A horrible acci-
dent attended the execution.
When the drop fell the rope
broke with a snap and the doomed
man sank to the floor with the black
cap saturated with blood. Horror
stricken, the attendants rushed for
ward to where Painter lay gasping.
Hurriedly picking him up, they car
ried him to a chair. The physician
made an examination. and found that
he had tainted and that life was not
extinct. Immediate preparations for a
rehanging began and new rope was
put up. 1t was but the work of a mo-
ment to put the new rope in place, and
Wnen Ine trdp lell the ldSJ Ilme, uedun
speedily ensued.
The crime for which Painter suffered
the extreme penalty of the law was the
murder of Alice Martin, at Sc Green
street, on the night of May I, 1891.
The couple lived as man and wife. The
murder, which was most brutal in its
nature, is shrouded in mystery, which
the latest developments in the case have
only served to deepen. Only this much
is known: AT about midnight Painter
was seen to enter the house. A
short time later he ran down
the stairs exclaiming, "My God,
some one has killed my Alice." He
rushed in search of the police, who ar
rived few minutes later, and going
to the room, found Alice Martin dead
with the imprint Of a strong hand
on her throat Her head was crushed
by blows which had evidently been
dealt with chair found lying broken
on the floor. The walls and rooms
were spattered with blood. Painter
was arrested and from that time until
his death he strenuously denied his

has already crowded the old into the
rear.
There had been no great event in the
prize ring since the defeat of John l..
Sullivan by Corbett in September, 1892,
and the class and the records, as well
as the standing and titles, of the two
men gave the contest from the very
day that it was first suggested an un-
usual degree of international import
ance in sporting circles. Both are
young. as years are reckoned nova
days, but they had both been fighting
as an occupation almost since they were
boys. Mitchell is five years older than
Corbett, but he fought his first pitched
battle when he was only sixteen years
Of age, while Corbett was eighteen,

Mitchell applied coarse epithet to
the Californian and the latter refused
20 shake his hand. AS a result the
champion lost complete control of him
self in the second round and would
have fought foully. 1t took the united
efforts of his seconds and the referee
to prevent him falling upon Mitchell
when he was down on one knee and
once or twice he did actually strike
Mitchell lightly when in that position.
Jack Dempsey had to slap him in the
face half dozen times to awaken him
to the situation and nobody following a
strict Interpretation of the rules could
have complained had Referee Kelly
awarded the battle to Mitchell. But
Mitchell had nobody at his back who
semed capable of comprehending the
gravity of the situation, and the battle
went on despite the fact that the sec

COW BUTTER VS.. OleO.
Dairymen Organized for a Fight Against
Makers of Bogus Goods.

Makers OF Bogus GOOus'
All ready for war against the sinful
"oleo" man is the National Dairy Union.
The union met in Chicago, adopted q
constitution. elected officers, and laid
out plan Of campaign. The union
heartily indorsed Senator Hills anti
"oleo" bill. asked Congress to raise the
tax on limitations OF butter to I cents
pound, demanded OF the Internal
Revenue Department that the existing
lays be pore stringentE enforced, and
asked the appropriation OF at least
$3.50, 900 to be applied to the expense OF
prosecuting oleomargarine cases. The
constitution adopted declares that the
object of the union shall be to secure
national and State legislation to pre-
vent the manufacture and sale OF food
articles male in imitation Of butter
and cheese and to assist in the enforce
ment of all laws now in existence or TO
be made in the future against such
products.
A resolution asking that the making
Of filled cheese be subjected to the
same tax as oleomargarine was also
passed. Mr.. Duckworthy, OF New York,
read resolutions calling upon the In
ternal Revenue Commissioner to more
fully execute the present "oleo" laws.
During the progress OF this contro-
versy IL was stated that the Internal
Revenue Department Is now allowed
only $500 year for the expense of
running down all offenders against rev.
enue laws; so another resolution was
offered beseeching Congress to set
aside at least Sl5O,0)0 TO be used to de-
fray the expense Of prosecuting "oleo"
cases alone. The Board of Control will
go to Washington and lay violent siege
to the doors of Congress. The next
meeting will be held In Washing

FIRE IN A MADHOUSE.
Terrible Holocaust at the Boone County
Uowa) Poor Farm.


Eight incurably insane paupers were
cremated alive by the burning of the
asylum at the Boone County (lOwa)
poor farm the other night. Only one
of the inmates escaped. The dead are:
Mary Tucker, Johanna Sniggs, Anna
Sonderberg, Christine Anderson, Chris
tine Peterson, Mrs. Scott. Thomas
Leaser, Joseph Craig. Mrs. Hibbard,
burning building and gave the alarm
main building adjacent. 1t was then
too late to save the people, and the
main building was saved only by great
effort. The steward says he banked
the fires in the furnace about o'clock
and does not know how the fire Origi-
mated, unless from a defective fue.
The institution is situated in an iso-
lated place and out of reach of even
such apparatus as the town of Boone
could afford. BY the time the alarm
was given there was no time to do any
thing. The inmates could not help
themselves, and waited for death, cry
ing wildly as the fire burned in upon
them. The building burned rapidly,
and almost as soon as 1T was known in
the city that there was fire the whole
place was consumed. Immediately a
party hurried to the scene, but too late
to afford any assistance whatever.
The search for the bodies was begun
as soon as the ruins had cooled suffi-
ciently to permit of it, and the hopes
OF those who had thought that perhaps
some of the inmates had escaped to the
fields in the neighborhood and had
concealed themselves were found to be
baseless. All the bodies were either
found or evidences were discovered to
show that they were in the smoldering
ruins. II there had been somebody in
the place able to force the inmates to
leave it is likely that they would have
escaped without serious injury, but no
body was at hand.
The building burned was an old two
story frame structure, which was as
dry as tinder. To add to the intiam-
mable nature of the place many of the
partition walls were padded with cot
ton, and some of the bedclOthing was
of cotton batting three inches thick.
This was because only the incurable
insane, who had been returned from
the State Asylum, were kept there.
These patients were nearly all violent,
and the great amount of cotton batting
was to prevent them injuring them
selves. The building was heated by a
furnace, which was condemned last
summer by local expert as unsafe,
but no attention had apparently been
paid to this warning. 1t is thought to
be certain that the fire started from a
defect in the furnace, as there were
no stoves in any of the rooms,
and great care was exercised that
no matches should be allowed in
the building.
