VERY IIGHP REGISTRATION.

There will be some trouble with the op-
position If the Repub licans do not register
10 large numbers today. The registration
now Is 1886 au unusually light registra-
ton. The sly opposition workers found
last year what registration did for them
and they made up their minds this year to
create tine Impression that they would
leave the field Of city politics altogether to
the Republicans and III this way fill the
ranks of the latter with Indifference about
registration while themselves would quI-
city steal people to the city clerks Office
and have them registered quietly
so that no suspicious as to
their designs would be aroused. a
warning of this kind in Yesterdays EAGLE

A MODERN FABLE.
As the carriage of the sultan of Sooioo
was being driven in state through the
streets OF Hyderahad one evening about a
mouth ago. al old M IN on whom the
marks OF extreme age were plainly visible,
eluded the Gordon of guards about the
carriage aud flashed lantern in the face
of the mighty oriental poteutate.
"Who art thou ," demanded the sultan.
Il am Diogsues," replied the stranger.
''Ani dosL ;hon still look for an honest
MANI" enquIred the ruler Of all the
Sooloos
Not so" replied the philosopher, "the
search which now prosecute is infinitely
more arduous than was the one which
made me famous For 5000 years have /
sought A Model Husband. but my search
has been entirely fruitless and without
avail"
Thou vert undoubtedly wise In thy
rejoiued the sultan. but
hadst thou perUsed the newspapers as do
the children of these modern DAYS thou
wouldst have discovered that A Model
husband can be seen at the Crawford
Grand Monday. March %. His name is
John Dillon, aud well is he known To me

PEThR has TROUBLE.
He Answers His w fe's ,ition for a Divorce
WI II Cross Petit on Blaming Her
wi IN Cruelty,

Now comes Peter Helm into court, and
Peter Is a man to be pitied, Judging
from his troubles set forth in the cross
petion which he flied in the district court
yesterday. This cross petition is an ans
wer to the petition OF bis wife Josephine.
filed on the 1871 of this month in which
she accuses Peter of slapping her in the
face and beating her upon the body at
various times, and in which she states
that he is worth over $1,000 and asks the
court for ST. 600 AS alimony
In his cross-petitlon Peter claims that
he is not worth even $1,000, and says that
his wife Is better able to earn her own
living than he is to pay her alimony He
tells tho court that he wants divorce
from Josephine since he is afraid TO live
with her. He gives AS reasons for his
fear that she has run him out OF the house
on different occasions and made him sleep
in the barn.
He states that in May. 1892. she be-
labored him with broom till he
had to leave the house and
when he attempted to come back
guarded the doorway with an AK, and as
a consequence of this he had To take I'D
lodgings in the barn. In November she
threw the Ratchet at him, according To
the petition, aud in July hammered him
over the head with the poker, while in
August she knocked him from the steps
by throwing shoe. aud in September
choked him nearly to death. In some
OF these cases" says be, Il did slap her,
but always with an open hand. When she
gets in an angry mood she gets crazy"
Mr.. Helm further alleges that one of the
crazy spells happened on the 18th OF this
month, when she was taken to the county
Jail from DR.. ShUl!z's Office on the charge
of insanity. That he then gave her Sl0
which she took and then refused TO 20
home with her husband
He asks the court to grant them a sepa-
ration, and that he be permitted to retain
the custody of his two boys.
